COMPLETEXTHE COURSE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES FRI­ DAY EVENING. Intpreating Program Given-L>rg« Auill- •nee Present--Diplomas Presented to the Scholars. The commencement exercise* of the McHenry high school were held in River­ side ball Friday evening and the seating capacity o! that vast hall wan inade­ quate to accomodate the large audience. An admission fee of ten cento was charged andover 350 persons were pres ent. ^ - Prof. Angevine and his able corps of teachers are to be commended for th* success that they have had daring the present school year and the good results that they have achieved. The execution of the progr >m showed that thorough work had been done daring the year in the various branches. The scholars marched in a body from the school grounds to the ball under the direction of the teachers and were seated near the platform. The hall was nicely decorated with fl >wers and boughs, which gave it a most inviting appearance. The ushers were: Ro*ina Reynolds, Margaret Sutton, Charles BUSH and Fay Small. The flower girls were: Nina Colby, Katie Heiuier, Dora Stoffel and Bessie Smith. The exercises were opened by a march played by Mies Mamie Knox. This was followed by a chorus from the school in which 180 voices gave music to a patri­ otic air. "Bear Me Say My A. B. C." was a vocal solo by Myra Mead, daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mead. She rep­ resented the first grade and she executed the selection very nicely. Ray Pago, representing the second grade, gave a recitation on the "Little Boy. Who Ran Away." It was well received by the audience and was well delivered. Lillian Wheeler of the third grade fjllow<0 with a recitation on "Grandmas' Minuet.' This was nicely rendered and was given merited applause. Vocal music by the mih qaartet corn- interest of humanity, to flee an op­ pressed people. We won a glorious vic­ tory aided by those people la the interest of humanity therefore let the administration cease shooting to death i he helpless, harmless Filipinos and order home the entire outft now estab­ lished in the Philippines. It has bean urged that the Filipinos were a nation of savages, incapable o! self government. We hav-i never yet beard of a natfou of savages sending envoys to foreign coun­ tries. We have never heard of savages c inveaing in a congress for the regula­ tion of its affairs. We have never hiard of savages exercising s»lt-rsstraint in re­ gard to their prisoners. We have never heard of savages eagaupng ia the pro­ fession, as law and medicine." Miss Smith followed with a strong neg­ ative reply. She argued from tho standpoint that, the Filipinos were incap­ able of self government and it was the duty of the Uuited States to restore her to a higher plane of civil;zition. She said in part: "Our war with Spain was begun in the interest of humanity to frtr an oppressed people, and ended as you all know most gloriously for our army. But having freed them from the cruel Spanish rule, we find a new problem be­ fore us. What shall we do with them? Especially the inhabitants of the Philip­ pine Islands. Were they an educated, civilized, industrious race, there could be but one answer. But we fiud them, for the most part, a wretched, uneducated people, withoat any form of government, except what little exists in their tribal relations." She maintained that the white man must take up the burdens thrust upon him. Be muet teach the inhabitants self government and bring order out of chaos. It showed^that she had given her side of the quettion careful thought and arranged her points in a convincing manner. 1'his wa9 followed , by music by the tr io, composed ol Mr. and Mrs. T. J Walsh and W. A. Cristy. Their singing cannot be too highly praised and it can be added that McBenry may well fee) proud of her musical talent. I Tuwiauu. * JOKES, JKCHTJ zusm.u. /AchENRY SCHOOL p)sed of T. J. Walsh, 0. N. Owen, W. A. Cristy and C. D4 Scboonmaker, with Mrs. T. J. Walsh as pianist, was so well re­ ceived that they were compelled to respond to an encore. They complied with the request of the andience by singing another choice selection. The next was a selection from the f >urth grade, which was represented by Irene McOinber. She gave a "Wordless Po?m," with music accompaniment. Belie Gallaher pianist. This required more than ordinary skill and she made it interesting and entertaining. Frank E. Block of the fifth grade gave a reci­ tation, "Mr. Brown Bad Bi8 Bair Gut." This was of a comic nature and created no small amount of laughter. This was followed by a double duet by Willie Neisen, Hugh Gallaher, Paul Auringer and Willie Gallaher,. which was highly appreciative. Martin Stoffel, sixth grade, whose se­ lection was a monologue, entit'ed "Music on the Rappahanock," was good. He has a clear voice and won deserved applause. Miss Ethel Owen of the seventh grade rendered a recitation, en­ titled, "Burglar Bill," which &was very fiut) Miss Mabel Granger of the eigh h grade gave auano solo. She is becom­ ing very prancient in instrumental music and has a good future in the music line. Misses Florence Howe and Belle Ga'laher followed with a vocsl duet that was very well rendered and well ap­ plauded. The debate between MUs Mamie Knox, ninth frrade, and Miss Jennie M Smith, tenth grade, on the question, "Resolved, That the Filipinos Should be Granted Their Independence," was the next on the program. The debate was opened by Miss E Kiox. who spots on the af­ firmative side of the question. She pref­ aced her debate by reviewing the early history of t .t Uuited States and the war for Independence. She maintained that the rule over the people of the Philip­ pines was repugnant to Amercian sen­ timent and our constitution. A war of conquest is ia contraction with the fun­ damental principles of our government and is opposed to oyr traditions. She said: "We began our war with Spain in the SUMMER AT THE BAY. The presentation of diplomas was done by W.. A. Cristy, who in a few choice remarks, presented D. Clayton Wilson with a diploma of graduation and the others with promotion certifi­ cates. The following were those hon­ ored and will enter high school the com ing year: Mabel Granpcr, Dora Stoffel, Elna Story, Jessie Sirupson, Annie Frisby, Nina Colby, Jaims Walsh, Lynn Cristy, Wm. Botts, Thomas Bulger, Earl Waite and Eddie Sutton. The following is the oration delivered by D. Clayton Wilson, having as bis subject, "Mahomet:" Throughout all ages religion ha* been the mightiest power in the civiliza­ tion of the humau ra<y; and in no case can the itfi ience of religion be more clearly traced than in the history of the wandering tribes of Arabia. At the be­ ginning of the seventh century Arabia was a world within it«elf. Without, the great empires of the East and the West had aspired to universal sovereignty, while within, the pigmy tribes of the desert pursued unknown and undis turbed their relentless intestine warfare Upon the face of the civilized world Arabia lay a desert waste, commercially, politically, intellectually and morally. And, indeed, fie whole world seemed to be forgetting the object of its exist­ ence. India slumbered on in her socia1 and religious conservatism. The Merov­ ingian dynasty iu G*al was running its course of crime, dissension and weak­ ness The first step in the Christianiz­ ing of northern Europe had hardly been taken, and savage tribes came sweeping down like a wintry blast, threatening to blight the tender buds of Christ ian civil- iz ition. The shadow of that thick black veil, known as the "dark ages," was already enveloping the whole world in one long, continuous night of semi-bar­ barism. Rome and Persia, alike ex­ hausted by their long struggle, seemed too weak to support themselves in further corflict. Ziroasterism was fast losing its hold upon the Persian mind and religious controversy was rapidly disintegrating the elements of Roman power. It was indeed an opportune moment for some religious conqueror to (Continued on last page) CRUSADES TO* THE PLEA8UR£ RESORTS HAVE BEGUN.

Being an orphan from infancy she was adopted by her uncle, Mordecai, who recognizing her great natural beauty, trained her in the ac­ complishments of highest womanhood. She was chosen by the kins of the realm to be his wife and queen, but did not disclose her nationality as a Jewess. Haman, the premier and favorite of the king, hated Mordecai because he would not worship as the king had com­ manded. He did not know Mordecai's relationship to the queen. To be re­ venged he obtained a decree for destroy­ ing all the Jews in the provinces. Mor­ decai discovered the plot and charged the queen to p tition the king for the safety of her people, which she did at the peril of her life on account of the law that no one should go unto the king un­ bidden. The king heard her petition and naman was defeated. Haman had prepared a gallows for Mordecai, but thr king being informed of this feet by an attendant, ordered Baman to be hanged thereon and proclaimed Mordecai pre­ mier in his stead. MARRIED IN BELVIDERE. Wonderful Fish. There is considerable talk about the large gar-fish which was caught this week. Our genial and good nam red hotel man, Mr. Ed M »rton, has the first claim, which is right, no doubc. It was this wa.v; a friend told him that there was a monster of a fish down by the boat house in the river, so be shoulders his shot-gun and went in pursuit after said fish; on arriving at the river they got into a boat and soon located it. Ed (as he is known by everybody) drew up his gun and blazed an ay, and when the smoke cleared away he saw it Iving at the bottom and when he got out to get It, it swam away, so be came back with­ out it, but in the course of a few hours the fish made its appear-tnce again, this time it wis landed by Messrs Perry and Bennett, t *o young men who are work ing on Mr. Duff's little steamer. They saw him out in the river about tin feet from the shore, so thoy got into a boat and went after Mr. Gar. Mr. Bennott struck him over the lead with a board that happened to be in the boat. At this stage of the proceeding, Mr. Dnff was standing on the bow of hi* steamer watching them, when a cry came from him:' Knock him in the head, knock him in the head." The fish measured four feet from tip of nose to tip of tail. There is no doubt but Mr. Morton has the credit of the capture, for be picked some shot out of the head when brought to the house. Parties who saw this fish say it is the largest one of the kind that hay ever been caught here--McHenry County Republican. Champion Test. Last Friday afternoon T. J. Walsh, who is agent for the Champion Co. at this place, and Wm Sfrjfftl, who is traveling salesman for the Champion Co, gave an exhibition test of the Champion mower. The purpose of the test was to demonstrate that the wheels remained stationary in case the mowiug bar came in contact with any obstruc­ tion. Mr. Stoffel drove the mower at full speed, forcing the mowing bar against a telephone pole and burying one of tha guards at least two inches in the pole The wheels remained stationary and didn't even jar the rider. The mower was purchased by Geo. Warmsley, of Void. W ill Visit Europe. John J. Flusky, now of Chicago but recently of this place, departed Tuesday for Buffalo, NY, and also Niagura Falls and Rochester, where be will visit for a few days. Be will then sail for. Dublin, Ireland, where he will remain for some time. This was the birth place of Mr. Flnsky and he will naturaly enjoy a trip across the Atlantic. Mis* Margaret Frisby, of McHenry, Mar­ ried at Brlvldere. The following is from the Belvidere Re­ publican c.f last week: "St. James Catholic church was the scene of a pretty wedding this morning, the contracting parties being Asahel S. Hitchcox i f this place and Mim M Frisby, formerly of McHenry. The bride was attended by her sitter, Mits Nellie Frisby, of McHenrv, and the groom by Bernard Frisby of this city. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fiisby, of McBenry and during her short residence here has made many triends. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Hitchcox of this city. He has been a resident for the past year being an employe of the National where be has a large circle of friends who will wish him and his bride every success and j>y. They will begin housekeeping at once at ttoeir home on Garfield avenue." Words of Comment. The following is from the Snux Rapids Press, and gives high praises to Parker & Son, who are well known to McHenry people "There is one enterprise that the people of Sionx Kapide do not ghe sufficient credit to. and that is the Hotel Parker, run by Parker & Son. While at Storm Lake this last week, Mr. Helznll met some thirty of the contractors and builders of the railroad who will do the work between Storm Lake and Spencer. Most of them had been at the Hotel Parker, and they voluntary etated that Sioux Rapids had the best hotel that they had ever seen in a town anywhere near the size of Sioux Ripids, and that within the next twenty days or by the first of July, they would all make Sioux Rtpids their headqnarters for the sum­ mer and bring all the engineers and surveyors vnd the parties in charge, making Sioux Rapids their home until the line was completed Storm Lake from to Spencer. Th sis just the same repot .that anybody that travels up and down the road and meets any of the traveling men who come here always hears, Parker & Son in a quiet and unassuming way have lived aud built up their hotel business, and they are getting their reward in the reputation that they are getting as hotel men, and the citizens of the town shoald not he backward in appreciating, a* the Press does, the good that this hotel is doing for Sioux Rapids and will do it. 8ince writing the above the Press man made a fraternal call on Bro. Fairfield, of the Heron Lake, Minn. News. Brother Fairfield is anold time traveling man and bis first remark was. 'I want to say right here that Sioux Rapids has the best /ailway eating bouse in three states and I know, because 1 have tried them all. The meals are the best nicely cooked and are promptly served.'" DEDICATION POSTPONED. ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH DEDICATION SERVICE DELAYED It Was Planned for Thursday, June 19, But Bishop McGavlck's Illness Has Changed Matters. Rev. Father Kirsch, of St. Mary's Catholic church, was disappointed Wednesday when the plans for the dedi- CHtion of the new church had to be post­ poned. He had worked hard and made all the necessary preparations, which in­ cluded a large Confirmation class. All of the preliminary arrangements were made and Bishop McGavick was to be present and dedicate the church. Bishop McGavick was taken sick and compelled to go to Europe to recuperate loft health, and Arch Bishop Feehan has too many engagements ahead to be preeetit on this occasion. St. Mary's Garman l/'atholic church was built last year at a cost of $15,000. It is OBe of the finest churches for its cost ever erected in the btate, and Rev, Father Kirech and the membtrs of his parish are to be commended for their noble work. The first service was held in the church on Easter Sunday and it was expected that it would be dedicated on June 29, and at the same time a large class would be given the rites of Confirmation.

BISHOP McGAVICK ILL* He Leaves for a Trip to F.urope to Re-Gain Health. (Chicago Times-Hsrs'd.) Right Rev. Alexander 3. McGavick, who was consecrated auxiliary bishop little more than a month ago to assist Archbishop Feehan, under orders from his physician sails for Europe to-day in an effort to recuperate his health, which has become sadly shattered after ten years in building up St. John's church, Clark and Eighteenth streets, the mental strain of the consecration peroid, and the death of his mother, which occured a few days after he was made a bishop. Bishop McGavick is only 34 years of age, has been an indefatigable worker for the cause of the church, and is said to be suffering more from general nervous­ ness than from any physical ailment. Immediately after his consecration he commenced his labor of relieving Arch­ bishop Feehan of confirmations through­ out this archdiocese, but his phsicians, fearing serious results, ordered him aboard. Brother May Get His Parish. He is accompained by his brother, Rev. Father James McGa /ick, of St. Elizabeth's church. Rumor had it yesterday thac Bishop McGavick had resigned from the pastorate of St. Johu's. and that his brother had been appointed to succeed him. But this could not be confirmed last night, although it was generally believed by the Catholic clergy. Bishop McGavick is said to have a year's leave of absence, and while abroad will visit Rome. Bishop McGavick is recognised as one of the most earnest and indefatigable workers of the Roman Catholic church in this city. When he took hold r f St. John's two years ago, succeeding Rev. Dr. Butler, who had been elected bishop of Kansas, but died just before his conse­ cration, the church was falling to pieces from general decay. He has rebuilt and repaired it, making St. John's one of the most attractive edifices in Chicago. He has been an earnest worker in his parish, relieving want and doing good spiritually among his people, who are spread over the poorest and by far the most wicked district in Chicago. His departure was made very quietly. In fact, it was not decided that be would go aboard until a few days ago. He left Chicago Thurs­ day.
