THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1896. DIPLOMAS FOR STANFORD SENIORS, One Hundred and Seventy Graduates Given Their Awards. LIFE'S STRUGGLE BEGINS Professor Anderson’s Commence- ment Address Full of Sage Advice. DR. JORDAN’S FEELING WORDS, The President Urges the Retiring Students tb Aspire to Noble Ideals. BTANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., May 27, — The commencement day exercises were held this morning in Encina gymna- sium and about 170 more individuals can sign A.B. after their names. The exer- cises opeped with music and the '96 class filed into the room giving the class yell. Professor M. B. Anderson delivered the commencement address. Said he in part: Itis well understood by scholars that the great works ot the creative imagination are not necessarily simple or easy of interpreta- tion: nay, that different interpretations of the same masterpieces may severally have their justification sccording to the point of view. Such products of the human genius resemble the phenomens of nature, respecting which phulosophers propound from age to age their varying theories. £uch masterwork may be compared to & vast mountain towering north- ward a mere wail of rock, while its southern flank smiles with the wealth of verdure; on the landward side approachable and neigh- borly, while to the meariner far out at sea it looms vague and gigantic among the clouds. Scholars are not &t one as to the significance of the Iliad, of the Prometheus, of the Divina Comedis or even of so recent & work as Faust, yet in the reading of any of them the wayfi ing man, if not a fool, may not err. So every reader feels that of all the wonderful dreams of Shekespeare none is more picturesque and significant than the play of Hamlet. Andif scholars of different times, temperaments and nationalities have reached widely varying con- clusions as to the character of the hero we feel that the very fact is evidence of the breadth of the author’s conception and the naturainess of hisart. This fascinating creation is clothed with something cf the mystery with which nature herself forever allures and forever bafles. The meaning of natural objects seems plain to the superficial. The illusion of familiarity is the first and last thing the observer has to guard against. So Hamlet seems and is full of significance to the boy who reads it for the first time, but it has not been given to Coleridge, not to Schlegel, not to Lowell, not {6 Goethe even to quite ‘‘pluck out the heari” of Hamlet's mystery. - The two propositions to which I can reduce my theory are, stated in the most naked terms, as follows: First—The fundamentsl conception of the suthor in the play of “Hamlet” is to represent Sramaticaily the forces of education through circumstances, by means of which the born idealist and dreamer is transformed into the man of action and character. To put it in an- other way, this play describes a course of ex- perience whereby & voung prince of imagina- tive tempe rament, to whom “there is notbing either good or bad, but (hinking makes it so,” is developed, if not into & hero, ot least intoa Tesolute man to whom the test of good and bad is something more then a merely sub- jective one. - Second—The inner experience of Hamlet in undergoing this process of education, his hesi- tation, his fears, his scruples, his agonies, his unsettlement of mind, his thoughts of suleide; and finally his steady, victorious emergence from the ‘'sea of troubles”—all this had its parallel im the secret experience of Shakes- peare during those long years when he was slowly working his way out of the halfness of the dreamer into the wholeness of which his life-dream became so unique an example. As an idealization of this struggle toward a rounded manhood—a struggle the more sol- emnly real and impressive in Hamlet's case because death stepped in before the victory was complete—the story of Hamlet may be suid to represent thai of his author. Let me insist that 1t is in the large and ideal sense Tather then in those details of experience ‘wherein others have found the paraliel to lie—that Hamlet is Shakespeare. President Jordan followed Professor An- derson, speaking on “The Higher Sacn- ce.” “Each man who lives is in part a slave because he is 8 living being. “This belongs to the definition of life itself,” he began. “Each creature must bend its back to the lash of its environment. We dream of life without conditions, life free from the pressure of insensate things without us or within, But such life is the dream of the ghilnanpher. We have never knowa it. he records of life we know are full of concessions to such pressure.” ing, the speaker said: g.The yegetative part of life, that part which n Continu- its expression in physical growth and ance aod death, must always be slavery. d primal hunger of the protoplasm rules over it all. Each of the myriad ceils of which man is made must be fed and cared for. The firennm hunger of these cells he must stifle. is hunger began when lite began. It will cease only when life ceases. It will last till the water of the sea is drained, the tlightsare ut out and the useless earth is hung empty up n the archives of the universe. This old hunger the individual man must each day meet and satisfy. He must do this for himself, else in the long run it will not be done. If others help feed him he must feed othersin return.. This return is not charity nor sacrifice; it is simply exchange of work. Itis the division of labor in servitude. Ii- rectly or indirectly each must pay his debt of life. “There are a few, as the world goes, who in luxury or pauperism have this debt paid for them by others. But there are not man of these fugitive slaves. The number will mever be great, for the lineage of idleness js never long nor strong. ‘When this debt is paid the slave becomes the map. Nature counts as men only those who ere free. Freedom springs from within. No outside power can give it. Board and lodging on the earth once paid, s msan's resources are his own. These he can give or hold. By the fullness of these is he measured. “As is the receiver,” Emerson tells us, “so is the gift.”” Al acquisitions of man “are victories of the 00d brain and brave heart; the world belongs the energetic, belongs to the wise. It is in vain to make s paradise but for good men.” It is part of the duty of nigher education to build up ideals of noble freedom. Itis not tor help in the vegetative work of life that one goes to college. He is just as good aslave Withoutit. Hecan earn his board and lodg- ing without the formality of cuiture. The training of the college will make his power for action greater, no doubt, but it will aiso mrgnify his needs. The debt of life a scholar has topay is greater than that paid by the clown. “And the higher sacrifice the scholar is caolled upon to make grows with the incressed fullness of his life. “Greater needs go with greater power, and both mean greater oppor- tunity for sscrifice. y8 you have been with us you should have formed some ideals, You should have pound these ideals together with the chain of ‘ ‘weil-spent yesterdays.” You shonld have done something in the direction of the life of bigher sacrifice, the life that from the l?ll’neu of 1ts resources can have something to give. ¢ The men you meet as you leave thess halis will not understand these idemls. They will not know that your life is bound up in tie resent, but has something to ssk or give for he future, Till they und-rstand you they will not yield you their sympaihiés. They may jeer st you, use the whip they ra- spond to leaves no mark upon you, They will iry to buy you, because the devil has always bid high for the lives of young men wiih idesls. A man in his market stands always above par. When the president had concluded his olo‘?ucnt address the graduates stepped up and, as their names were called, ‘were' handed diplomas.

SILVER MEN IN REVOLT Displeased ‘With the Selection for Temporary Chairman, They Create a Furor. THEN THE BAND BEGAN TO PLAY Amid Great Confusion the Free-Coinage Minorit§ Capture the Permanent Chairmanship. PITTSBURG, PA., May 27.—Theseventh National convention of the Prohibition party was called to order 1 this city this morning in Exposition Hall. H. L. Castle, chairman of the committee on re- ceplion, welcomed the convention as ‘‘the Tepresentatives of an army of 300,000 of the most loyal and single-hearted patriots, and of 600,000 of as devoted and consecrated women as ever gathered under any banner and made warfare against any enemy.” Samuel Dickie of Michigan, chairman of the National Committee, responded to the address of welcome. Then, right at the opening of the formal proceedings, when Mr. Dickie presented the name of A. A. Stevens of Tyrone, Pa., as temporary chairman, the rebellion of the free silver minority broke out. Half a dozen deie- gates shouted points of order at Mr. Dickie, who refused to hear them. Mr. Woodbey, a colored delegate frum Nebraska, accentuated his rebellion by standing on his chair and shouting at the top of his voice. The band was called upon to drown the uproar and give the chairman time to recover his wind and corndposure, Meanwhile half the conven- tion was walking the floor and a squad of policemen was ushered into the hall to keep order. Mr, Wheeler of New York, the gentle- man named in the minority report as temporary chairman, rose and for the sake of harmony withdrew his name, al- though protesting agzainst what he called an arbitrary and unjust rule, At last Temporary Chairman Stevens was permitted to deliver his address. He began by reciting the history of the Pro- hibition party; then, coming to National issues, he said: “If my prognostications of the politics of our country during this year be correct each party will have its own issue to main- tain without entering into antagonisms | that have existed in the past in political} contests. It is therefore 1mportant that we | should make no mistake and avoid ex- tremes in contending for questions that the Prohibition party was never born to settle so long as the drink traffic remains legalized by the Government. Weall have our opinions on other political questions, such as the tariff, free trade, free silver, sound money, etc., and our opinions are by no’'means a unit. Such 1ssues are to us as a party divisive ones, and we should avoid anything that will divide our ranks or divert our mind from the great purpose for which we are organized and cause a halt in the advance we have been making for political power and control. “Let us, then, in this convention bear in mind that nothing would so eratify the supporters of the drink traffic as a di- vision in our ranks or a fruitless contro- versy in this convention. “Let us stand back to back to face the foe, remembering that thus united we stana or divided we fall.” Complete order was maintained during Chairman Stevens’ address. A. Wilson of Chicago, who had been selected as tem- porary secretary, called the roll of States, and the committee on credentials was named. : At12:30 p. M. the convention took & re- cess until 3 P. M., and the various com- mittees proceeded to organize. Dr. J. B. Cranfill of Texas has been elected chairman of the committee on platform, which is a victory for the nar- row-gause element of the party. Mrs, Helen M. Gotigar has been elected chair- man of the committee on permanent or- ganization. Grorge C. Christian of Arkansas pre- sided over a caucus of 300 narrow-gaugers, which was held immediately after the recess of the convention. The caucus adopted a resolution declining to support any issue which could not command a three-fourths vote of the convention. At a caucus of the broad-gaugers a call of the roll of delegates present showed their strength to be but 335 votes—about one-third of the total vote of the conven- tion. This practically insures a boltof the broad-gauge or free-silver men. ‘When the convention reassembled inthe afternoon a resolution was passed ex- pressing regret for the sudden death of Hon. J. C. Brock, one of the delegates from Massachusetts. The committee on credentials reported 810 delegates present. A resolution pledging the convention not to abate its relentless war on the licensed rum power was ordered tele- graphed to various religious bodies now in conference, also to Congress and to Miss Frances Willard and Lady Somerset in England. Mrs. Helen Gougar, chairman of the commit n permanent erganizatian, re- ported the name of Oliver W. Stewart of Iilinois (one of broad-gauge faction) as permanent chairman. Mr. Ferguson of New York presented a minority report on behialf of the narrow- gauge mea, recommending the continu- ance of A, A, Steve in the chair as per- manent chairman. A tangle over a point of order threw the convention into a scene of confusion which lasted for more than an hour. Much ill-feeling developed and Chair- man Stevens himself was fora iong time re- fused u hearing, but when at last he gained the attention of the disturbing elements, he said that though he believed he bhad been put torward as a representative of the element in the convention which be- lieved in prohivition and non-divisive issues, and though he believed in a call of the States he would be sustained, he would desire to withdraw his name. This an- nouncement was received with cheers and the majority report of the committee was then adopted and Mr. Stewart was escorted to the chair, Mr. Stevens retiring with the thanks of the convention. Mr. Stewart, on taking the gavel, said it Was not the part of his duty to outline the platiorm of the party, and he promised fair treatment to all. A motion was made by Mrs. Gougar to hold & mass-meeting: to-night in lien of a business session was earried after con- siderable opposition, and at 6:15P. M. the convention adjourned until to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock. The following is the membership ot the new National Committee of the Prohibi- tion party: Arkansas—George C.

Wood- support the party of real protection to industry by suppression of the| waste caused by liguor; the fourth and fifth declare for good government and the purity of the ballot, to be best ob- tained by the destruction of the liquor power; the sixth appeals to church people to support the party whose aims are kin- dred to their own; the seventh declares the time ripe for a successful political movement against the liquor traffic, and invites the co-operation of all citizens, whatever their opinion may be on other questions, and the eighth declares that ‘‘no citizen should be denied the right to vote on account of sex.” A minority report will be submitted by the broad-gauge faction’s committee, em- bodying planks favoring free silver, the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people; Government con- trol of railroads, telegraphs, etc. A majority of the new National com- mittee has determined to continue Hon. Samuel Dickie of Michigan as its chair- man. The proposed action of the ma- jority is violently opposed by the broad- gauge faction of the committee, who will contest the election, but virtualiy concede that it is inevitable. BOISE MURDERER HANGED James Ellington Executed for the Killing of Charles Briggs. The Black Cap Is Displaced as He Drops, Exporing His Dis. torted Features. BOIRE, Ipamo, May 27. — James A. Ellington was hanged to-day for the mur- der of Charles Briggs, in Boise, on Decem- ber 20, 1894. The drop fell at 9:21, and he was pronounced dead' in nine minutes. Just as the drop fell the black cap was lifted off by the force of air, and before the rope became taut the features were ex- posed. The horrifying spectacle caused stronz men to turn away. .On December 30, ‘1894, Ellington - shot Charles Briggs in front of the latter’s home in this city. Ellington met his vie- tim, passed, and ‘then wheeled and shot bim in the back. Briggs lingered several days, Ellington havine been arrested and held, awaiting the result of the act. After Briggs’ death Ellington was given an examination and bound over. - At the ensuing term of the District Court, in Jan- uary, lie was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang. An appeel acted as a stay. The case was passed on in November by the Supreme Court, and at the March term of the Dis- trict Court he was sentenced to hang on May 27. s The trouble over which the shooting oc- curred arose from business matters. El- lington had worked for Briges and lived at his house. The men came here from Cali- fornia and Oregon together. BEilington worked for his victim for some time, was discharged, and afterward set up & claim for wages due. Elington was about 45 years of ace and was born in Georgia.

CROWNED WITH LILIES. Pretty Coronation Rites at the Picnic of Woodland Parlor. ATHLETIC SPORTS FOR PRIZES. The Day’s Festivities Conclude With a_Moonlight Ball in the Evening. WOODLAND, Cav., May 27.—Woodland Parlor No. 30, Native Sons of the Golden West, bas nad charge of more than one picnic in past years, but none surpassed the affair under its auspices at Coil's Grove to-day. Miss Tiliie Schluer, the beautiful Queen of May, ruled an im- mense concourse of people assembled from this city and from the various towns of the county. The read between Wood- land and Coil's Grove was lined all day with conveyances of every description. ‘Woodland had capitula‘ed to the Queen of May and ber charming attendants. From a picnic point of view t e day has been ideal. This aiternoon the thermome- ter registered nearly 100 degrees. It has been a sweltering day, but it afforded the ladies a chance to wear their daintiest and coolest summer dresses, while among the men there was a decided sprinkling of white duck and uncoated backs. The re- freshment stands have been stampeded all day. Of course the main feature of the day's festivities was the crowning of the Queen of May. The interest manifested in the contest for this place of honor had mnot died out with the announcement that Miss Schluer bad carried off the honors by a handsome margin. Expectation was on tiptoe to beheld the ceremony which was to bring her triumpli to a brilliant climax. The coronation took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon before a vast crowd of in- terested spectators. A beautiful throne had been constructed adjoining the large dancing platform. By a profuse use of the national colors, symbols of the Native Sone, and of flowers and vines, which na- ture so lavishly bestows on the favored people of this county, Miss Schluer's friends had made the regal station a place of rare beauty. The Queen was preceded by her maids of honor, M:sses Birdie Morris, Annie Richie, Minnie Germeshausen, - Lottie Eastham, Annie Deaner and Dahiia Horn- lein. Master Paul Leake, son of Ed E. Leake of this city, and little Ethel Pullan supported her train. The Queen's dress was of white swiss and combined in its construction simplic- ity and elegance. The trimmings were in silver braid. The dainty white dresses of the maids were in keeping with the simple splendor of their Queen’s attire, District Attorney R. E. Hopkins placed the crown of white and pink lilies of the valley upon the fair brow of the Queen- elect, after a neat and graceful speech. He said in part: ““We are come here within this solemn grove of Druid ouks te crown with the dia- dem of sovereignty her whose graces and accomplishments eminently qualify her to reign over us for this short, golden period of a summer’s day. We salute you as Queen of May—not servilely, but freely —and gladly we kneel to you in free and humble fealty,not in the groveling, pa- tronizing fealty of some subject of ancient monarchy. We crown you also as a token of our love for golden California. We were born in her golden sunshine; we were nurtured amid her buds and fiowers; we have slept beneath her clear blue heavens’ vault, and now we crown you Queen of May, and may this badge of sovereignty, may this beautiful crown which nature has made for us be tne only badge of royalty to which we shall ever bow the knee.” The consummation of the coronation ceremony wasgreeted with applause from the hundreds of subjects below, who had just confided sovereignty to the Queen of May. Miss Schluer, with charming grace and modesty, assumed the trust, and after proper acknowledgments proclaimed that mirth might now abound and joy be un- confined. The dancing platform was thronged with youth and beauty early in the afternoon, and the votaries of the waltz and two-step remained there far into the night, with a short intermission in the early evening for dinner. The moon shone clear and bright and played through the trees, converting the scene into one of fairyland. A maze of buggies and car- riages surrounded the platform, contain- ing those who preferred to watch quietly the evolutions of the dancers and drink in the musie. As soon as the coronation ceremonies were concluded, the baseball zame between the Knights Landing and Woodland clubs was called on a diamond especially pre- pared, just east of the aancing pavilion. An immense crowd of baseball enthusiasts went out to witness the sport. The game was won by the Knights Landing club by a score of 22 to 12. : The grounds set apart for the bluerock shooting were soon crowded with those who take a delight in that kind of sport, and the whirr of the target and the pop of the shiotgun furnished amusement for the gun enthusiasts during the afternoon. The committee having in charge the games and sports for the ehildren soon had its hands full of business. There were many events, numerous contestants and Parlial loss of partial im- partial pre- s, partial neuro-ngrvousness are the forgcunner of a complete bankrupt system. |If you ‘wish to recover swiftly you will use she great re- medio-tréstment HUDYAN, You can get Huayan only from tae old doc- tors of the Hudson Medical Insiitute.

BANTA CRUZ, Cau, May 27.—Father McNamee, pastor of the Catholic church here, was exercising his shotgun in the grounds at the parsonage shooting dis- turbing felines thisevening. He was mak- ing good progress in the extermination of the disturbers of the peace of the neigh- borhood when a neighbor, L. O. Stuben- dorff, whose dwelling stands on the lower incline of Mission Hill, below the priest’s domicile, objected to the shotgun exhibi- tion. The father told him to mind his own business, and he proceeded with his destruction of the.cats. A stray shot struck Stubendorff’s boy in the hana and another struck his daughter in the neck. Mr. Btubendorff sought a Justice of the Peace and entered a complaint of disturb- ing the peace. Father McNamee pleaded not gmity and went on his own recogniz- ance to appear for trial. Meanwhile the cats will enjoy the beautiful moonlit nights undisturbed by the father’s shotgun. Lo DEATH OF A EURERA JUDGE, John Carr, Author of * Pioneer Days in Califormia,” Passes Away.
