Archbishop Riordan Hands Medals to the Fair Graduates. R ki The golden jubilee celebration and an- nual commencement of St. School, in conjunction with the gradu- ating exercises of St. Patrick’s School, were celebrated yesterday at the Grand Opera-house. The puplls made a brilliant display of talent. As instrumentalists the children exhibited a remarkable accuracy; as dan- cers they showed a rare grace; as plan- ists the pupils of the St. Vincent sisters aining to be ad- mirable and thorough. The boys of St. Patrick’s School were no less successful, Wwhether as brave young soldiers and sail- ors or humorous Brownies, characters sumed by the pupils with such consum- mate skiil as to send the vast audience into shrieks of laughter. ; And when all the fine entertalning was done, when the dance and the drama and the singing and the military maneuvers were completed and applauded to the echo, the very serious part of the pro- gramme, the awarding of the honors to the-graduates, was performed by Arch- bishop Riordan, assisted by the Rev. Fa- ther Cummins. ARCHBISHOP’S ADDRESS. sing the grad- The Archbishop, addre uates, craved indulgence while he said somethirg about the siste of St. Vin- cent’s School.

He was seen last Monday night, when he went about town and settled some small accounts, and in the morning he went to his home and left all his belongings excepting his pistol on a table in his room and then departed, taking his faith- ful dog and constant companion Wwith him. Since then no trace of him has been seen. Gunning had been {1l for the past two weeks on account of his inability to sleep.

In retaliation for this act the council called out union men of all kinds wherever they were found working on any job with brotherhood carpenters. This caused dissension and the bullders were greatly inconvenienced by the stoppage of operations.

The district council of the brotherhood met last night, but adjourned betore being apprised of the action taken by the Building Trades Council. Some of the brotherhood men who were seen after the meeting said they were willing to abide by the decision of the majority of carpenters, provided the Building Trades Council does the same. The spirit of the resolution gives this assurance, so that a declaration of peace between the warring factions may soon be looked for. —_——— Professor Giles of Cambridge, England, says women cannot learn to read and write Chinese. | JOHN GUNNING, REDWOOD CITY'S NIGHT WATCHMAN, ‘WHO HAS DISAPPEARED.

He admitted having made several sugge..ons to her cencerning the report, but she had made certain siatements theremn contained of her own volition. ‘That is talse!” shouted Miss Perry excitedly. "1t is utterly false.” “Take your seat!” commanded Chair- man Denman severely. vl did not think he would falsify like | that,” was Miss seated herself, Blanchard admitted that he had beaten John Raggio in the manner indicated in the charges, but thought the punishment was not unusval.
