This leaves four places to be filled in the jury box. Six jurors! were accepted Thursday, but one of them, John Greely, was excused yes- terday morning because of physical ability. The questioning of talesmen by the attorneys for the defense was more rigid than ever, and in one case was drawn out so long that the court ad-| monished the attorneys to waste no time in frivolous questioning. The ex- amination proceeded slowly neverthe- | District Attorney and was challenged upon that ground. The court disal- lowed the ch: nge, but the juror was afterward excused on a peremptory challenge. H. Bjorn, a dealer in paints, who believes that some people should be imprisoned for debt, ws also ex- cused from jury duty. A contest was raised over the acceptance of Alex- ander Dreyfus on the ground that his name did not appear on the assess- ment roll of 1803. On the other side it was contended that Dreyfus had paid taxes for the current year, but as the assessment roll has not yet been made out the letter of the law was followed | and he was deemed ineligible. and at the time of adjournment | v ceme- less tion of the defense had exhausted eight of its| k O« 5 aré no ten peremptory challenges and the, ¥ to improve the Pprosecution one of its five.

CLEVER CHILDREN Pupils of Miss Noonan Render Elab- orate and Interesting Programme at Stelnway Hall. An interesting affair was the recital given by the pupils of Miss Agnes Marie elocution and dramatic art at Steinway Hall last evening. The opening number, Dun- bar's “Angelina,” in Dixie dialect, was daintily given by ten young ladies in white, with large yellow chrysanthe- mums and white picture hats. The harmonic poise movements by | several litle girls in flufty white, with tambourines, showed fine training and |was the very poetry of motion. | *Wynken, Blynken and Nod,” Bugene | Field's lullaby, was illustrated by | twenty little tots in nightgowns, carry- ing candles, and indulging in some ! very artistic yawning. This was beau- tifully accompanied in song by S. Homer Henley. The grandmothers, given by little tots in the costume of 1832, hoopskirts and poke bonnets, made the audience jaugh merrily. Quite artistic and pleasing were the maids of Japan, with their graceful costumes and pretty fan motions. The living dolls, an original conception by Miss Noonan, was especially taking, Talent- ed little Ruth Smith, as the Parislan doll, and her clever brother, Ormonde, |as the clown, introduced by Lewis :Ford. as the showman, evinced real | talent, i The single numbers, some of which were dialect and dramatic recitations, | were especially well rendered. The closing number, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” in pantomime by young la- dies in white Greclan costumes, was beautiful, the effect being heightened by the singing of the solo by 8. Homer Henley, ably accompanied by Mrs. Edward Tillson on the piano. —_————————— City Officials Subpenaed. Bubpenas were yesterday served on Mayor Schmitz and all the members | of the Board of Supervisors to appear |in the United States Circuit Court on Monday, July 4, in answer to the suit brought by the Spring Valley Water | Company against the city to determine the validity of the existing water rate ordinance. BY Noonan in — THE VALUE OF Archbishop Montgomery Delivers In- teresting Address at Graduation Exercises of Sacred Heart. | The commencement exercises of the Sacred Heart School were held in Lyric Hall last evening. The address of the evening was rendered by his | Grace Archbishop Montgomery, who, among other very happy remarks, dwelt particularly on the necessity of | parochial schools “being the foun- taing which supply the academy and college.” No parish is fully equipped, he said, if it lacks schools wherein every girl and boy may be accommo- dated. In handing the graduates their diplomas his Grace the Arch- bishop congratulated them on the ad- vantage of having been so well trained by the great educators and self-sacri~ ficing Sisters of the Dominican Or- | der. Among the clergy present be. sides his Grace the Archbishop were | Rev. Phillip Byrne, the acting pastor of Sacred Heart Church; Rev. Thomas Comerford, Rev. Robert Sesnon, Rev. | P. Butler of St. Ignatius College, Rev, P. Ryan of Holy Cross Church and Rev. Brothers Xenophon, Leo, Greg- | ory and Peter of the Sacred Heart! College and Brother Bernard of the faculty of St. Mary's College, Oak- land. There were also present many Sisters from the Dominican Collega, San Rafael, and St. Rose’s Academy, Scott street.

The teachers are interested in the! proposition because 'it may result in a slight increase in their salariés.
