At THE CEST5AI " BOUSE TUESDAY EVENWC The graduation exercises of the Mc­ Henry high school took place'at the Central opera hoUse on Tuesday even­ ing of this week and at the close of same the class, consisting of eight girls and one boy, 'received their high' school diplomas. „ The evening was a delightful one for'tfee occasion and as a result the spacious opera house was well Oiled with relatives and friends of the nine young people who were agscml^led on the stage and represented the etess of wis.- • - ' V .. •• The stage "of the Centra' never lookdd prettier. Garden flowers, fit­ ted plant"? and foliage, together With streai lers of light green and gold, were used in the decorations, while the for­ est drop curtain made up an appro­ priate background. Brilliant electric lights assisted greatly in setting forth the splendor of the stage, while the class, seated in a half circle, completed a picture that win a treat to the eye. The program, as published - in last week's issue of "Phe Plaindealer, was carried out and, it» addition, the class poem, which was one of the numbers of the class day exercises of last Satur­ day, was, upon request, repeated. The evening's entertainment was opened with the playing of a duet by Geritier and Edyfch Petesch, which not only made arvery appropriate opening number, but an appreciative one as well. The Girls' . 01®® of the sehool favored the audience with the difficult, but most melodious, selection entitled By the Beautiful Blue Danube." The interpretation of this selection plainly displayed the fact that the tyrge club had received excellent and careful training under ^he 'guidance of the musical instructress of the school, Miss Bessie Beatty of Wood­ stock. Local music critics declare that this olub is one of the best of its kind that ever appeared before a McHenry audience. Neill Doherty, the only male mem­ ber of the class, Was accorded the honor of giving the class oration, which he did in a faultless manner. A male quartet, consisting of C. G. Frett, J. D. Lodtz, F. J. Karges and M. J. Stof­ fel, next favored the assemblage with a beautiful and well rendered selec­ tion, whichr received a hearty applause by the audience. Edward Nickels made the junior address in a clear and distinct manner, which was' imme­ diately responded to by Inez Bacon with the senior response and valedic­ tory. Her part in the evening's enter­ tainment was also well received by the big audiencie. Once more the Glee club appeared and once more were " they given a tremendous applause. This number was followed by the speaker of the evening, Wirt Lowther of Fairbpry, 111. His address proved the one big treat of the evening and for over one solid hour he held the un­ divided attention of those who had come to listen.. His topic for this occa­ sion was "The Art of Seeyig," and be­ fore the speaker had gone very far there wasn't a person in the audience who did not thank himself Jor turning out on this occasion. Mr. Lowther is perfectly at home before an audience. He is pleasing in ap|>earance, possessed with a wch voice and proved himself a highly interesting as well as convinc­ ing speaker. If there was one person in the audience who was not benefitted thru the speaker's appearance that one person, we dare say, had not yet ac­ quired the 'art of seeing things. We would very much like, to go into fur­ ther detail regarding his address, but judging from the large audience pres­ ent we feel that most of our readers were at the Central and heard same. The last number on the evening's program was another selection by the male quartet, - which was followed by the distribution of the diplomas to the, graduates by Prof. A. E. Nye, super-, intendent of the school. All told, the graduation exercises af 1913 will go down in history as the most pleasant and enjoyable that eyer took place in McHenry and eacfe and every member of the class of *13, in years to come, will always feel great pride in pointing to thai memorable , event. .

Both young men are capa­ ble in every way to take care of the business that may be extended the place. They are courteous and oblig­ ing and will serve the very best in the •tyne of aodas and ice cream.^ _ • A CORRECTION &:*%%%£*?. J It has been told about town that! GREENWOOD IS WALLOPED mum HTWEI FEATURES SUN Mrs OAK , . - vftrriit (NflMtrr LOCALS. ;JW NUMEROUS ERRORS PROVED TROUS A team representing the little ham­ let of Greenwood >came over to Me Henry last Sunday afternoon »andi for four innings threatened to show Mc- Heary up on the bagebuH diamond: Wesley Peterson, the one-armed wonder^ was in the box for the visitors and pitched a Splendid game, besides contributing a beautiful two-base hit. The visitors out-hit the locals by two swats, but their six errors werp suffi­ ciently plenty to give McHenry the game. v'-. . The visitors started their run-get- fcing iii the second Inning. Wyrtn started? out with a Clean-cut single to right. F. Rogers followed him with a singlevto left, advancing Wy.nn to the center station. Wynn started to, steal third, and in his attempt lo head off the runnep- at that station Behlke ,threw wild, the misplay allowing the runner to complete the circuit. F. Rogers singled to right and stole sec­ ond. W. Peterson and Martin fauned. Greenwood again scored a run in the fourth round of the afternoon's pas- timing. Thomas opened the inning with a clean single to right. He stole sec­ ond while Wynn was fanning. F. Rog­ ers was safe at first when Behlke failed to hold his third strike. Thomas tried to make third on the play, but was caught at the far corner. F. Rogers stole second and completed the circuit on the one-armed wonder's TR?nt D1SAS was <me of those responsible for the closing of saloons 1n McHenry on Sun­ day and I take this means of nailing the report as a lie.

Martin finished the round by fanning^ , The visitors obtained their last tally of the day in the sixth session. P. Peterson struck at a wild one for his third strike and had plenty to time to make first. He stole Becond. Sahls- berg tried to catch him off the ,bag and made a bad peg of it, the runner go­ ing on to third. Mummery tried to get the ball to Huck in time to get the runner, l>ut his throw also was off color and the base runner scored. This bit of work appeared to have worked on our little flinger's nerves as he passed the next man up. The base runner stole second, but was forced to remain there, as tna.BUOOeeding two batters struck out. McHenry scored her first run in the initial inning. Page, the first man up, was hit by a pitched ball and given first. He displayed his appreciation of the gift by smuggling both second and third and a trifle later come home on a passed ball at the expense of the vis­ iting catcher. Huck struck out. Behl­ ke walked, stole second and went to third on a passed ball. Gibbs was hit and went to first, but was soon doubled at that station when he parted for second on E. Freund's fly to F. Rogers Our boys gathered in three more runs in the fif^i frame. Conway led off by striking out. Sahlsberg was given life at first when Martin dropped his fly. The speed merchant stole sec­ ond and came home on Page's single to left. Huck grounded to Wynn, who shot the pill to sccond in time to get Paige. Behlke advanced Huck to third on a single to right. Behlke stole second and both runners scored when' Gibbs connected with one of Peterson's straight ones for a double? E. Freund ended the round by fanning. The red uniformed gents scored three more runs in the sixth stanza. Knox, who had replaced Mummery, was safe at first on Wynn's error. He went to second on N. Freund's ground­ er to W. Peterson. The batter was safe when Peterson failed to get hold of the ball. Both runners were ad­ vanced a peg on Conway's sacrifice to F. Rogers. Sahlsberg's grounder got away frpm Wynn at third, the error not only letting the batter reach the initial sack in safety, but allowed Knox to score Iron* third as well and also sent N. Freund to the third sack. Sahlsberg stole second and the two runners came home on Page's single to left. Page stole second, while Huck was safe at first on Wynn's fumble. Behlke flew to F. Rogers and Gibbs' grounder was perfectly handled by F. Peterson. Thus the side was retired. Greenwood presented the locals with another score.in the eighth Inning. Conway rolled one to Wynn, who field­ ed the ball splendidly, but the runner was safe wlien F- Rogers dropped the throw from third. Conway pilfered, second and a moment later went to third when P. Peterson threw badly to secdnd in his efforts to get Conway off the bag. Conway later scored on a wild pitch. Sahlsberg fanned. A.

These two teams met onee be­ fore this season, McHenry taking the honors on this occasion by the score of 9 to 7. Both teams have improved fifty per cent since that meet ing and should put up an interesting article of ball at the ball yard tomorrow after­ noon, beginning at two o'clock. Next Sunday afternoon the Elgin Tigers Will be here to take the measure of the McHenry lads. The Elgin Tigers are considered the bii'St amateur team now traveling out of the Watch city. They have a nice string of victories to their credit already this season and are com­ ing to McHenry with the purpose in mind of taking the game away from the locals. The McHenry team, on this occasion, will present its strong­ est line-up and a rattling good exhibi­ tion of the national pastimo should be the result. Two bits admits the gents to the game, while a charge of 15 cents is made for women and kids. Tf you are enthusiastic enough to stand and watch the game from the standpipe, you should show your appreciation of the beys' efforts in giving you an aft­ ernoon's entertainment by going down to the grounds and thui helping the home boys in paying expenses. CLASS DAY EXERCISES . The outing and class day exerolfes held at Pistakee Bay last Saturday proved a most pleasant event for those who made the trip. The scholars and friends of the school left McHenry in the morning on the excursion boat "Gladene." The forenoon was passed in general jollification, while at noon a picnic dinner was partaken of. The exercises, which were advertised to be held at the Pistakee Yacht clib pa­ vilion, took place at Mertes' hall. The change was made necessary thru the absence of a piano at the club house. The program was a splendid one and was highly enjoyable to those who were fortunate enough to be in the audience. The return trip to McHen­ ry was urade about four o'olock in the afternoon, the boat arriving at the Mc­ Henry dock, just before the heavy fain storm. • - ,• SHOULD BE APPRECIATED A good work, that of cleaning up oftr streets, has been started and is now going on under the supervision of Po­ lice Officer James Rfevor. Altho clean­ ing has been going on but a short time, a big improvement is already quite noticeable. This is a step in the right direction and we believe the vil­ lage board will be given credit if a man ia kept busy on the job thruout the entire summer. Nothing is more detracting than dirty, unkept streets and we sincerely hope that the work of beautifying our village will be kept up thruout the summer. We are glad to see the village set the example, as it will undoubtedly be the means of inspiring o it* citizens with the "clean­ up habit," which would be a mighty good thing and would reflect great credit upon each and every one. . A PACKED HOUSE One of the largest crowds that has ever attended a performance .at t! place was present at the Central opera house last Sunday evening when the Flora DeVoss company vyas the attrac­ tion. They presented that intensely interesting race-track drama, "Her Last Dollar," and to say that the large audience was pleased is putting it mildly. The Flora DeVoiss company have earned for themselves an excel­ lent reputation here ill McHenry and their'visits to this village are always greeted with a big turn-out, but that of last Sunday night proved a record breaker. Every seat in the house was occupied,, while many were foreed to stand- • CHOIR SURPRISES EARL THOMAS Last Saturday evening a number of the young people of the K- church choir journeyed out to the pleasant home of Earl Thomas, southwest of town, and gave him a pleasant sur­ prise. The host, however, quite un­ aware of the fact, had retired for the night, but soon arose because of the noise and shouting of the happy party. The evening was spent in the usual manner, in which games of various kinds were played, and after which dainty refreshments were served. The host was presented with a very beauti­ ful gold watch fob. At rather a late hour the guests departed for their various homes, all declaring an excel­ lent time. • • NOTICE TO CEMETERY LOT OWNERS The Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T.

This will enable the school establish credit relations with the University of Illi­ nois and bring work dp to the stand­ ard. Students who complete the course of study in the Richmond high school will then be able to ente(r practically any of the colleges or universities o( the middle west without examination. Deaf Apprentice: The average boy of fourteen to sixteen years of age who start out in liie with an offer of $5 a week to work in a carpenter shop, $6 a week to work in a. maphine shop aqd $1 a week to work in a grocery store will choose the job that pays the most money. And as a rule the boys who select the jobs according to the salary will be found folding down those same jobs in after life at salaries npt much larger than they started with. The boy who makes a succees of his life Is the one who selects the work that he likes best to do and to which he is the best adapted, and then buckles down to learn all the ins and outs of his trade and to malfe of himself a master workman. The boy who does this is a success wherever you find him, wheth­ er on the farm, in the shop or behind the counter. Take the farmer who loves his work, who studies the latest methods of farming and is up in all the departments of agriculture. He will be making money when his neigh­ bors f^ll. Take the merchant who is not content simply to call his goods over the counter, but to keep informed on every matter pertaining to his busi­ ness. There you will find the success­ ful merchant. Take the boy in the shop who is ^ot satisfied to do a cer­ tain amount of work and draw his pay, but who aspires to know as much and be as good a workman aS his boss. That means success. But there Is little hope for the boy who fKnnpits a mere question of salary to decide his future career for him. Richmond Gazette: The Public Ser­ vice Company of Northern Illinois has accepted the franchise submitted by the Richmond village board and our village is assured of having electric service in the very near future. The company filed its acceptance of the terms of the franchise with the village clerk Monday, together with bonds in the sum of *10,000 as provided in the franchise for the protection ol the vil lage against any lass, injury or damage that may result from the privileges granted hy the franciise. Representa­ tives of the company were in Rich­ mond the first of the week and in an interview gave out the information that work on the now line will be taken up immediately. By the terms of the franchise the company is given six months to complete i's lines to this village and it is expected Richmond will have electrio service within that time. The company's plans are to run its wires direct to this village from McHenry along the C. & N. W. right of way thru Ringwoad. Where the line crosses the C. M . & St. P. road south of this village a branch line will be extended along the Milwaukee right of way to Solon and Spring Grove. The company later plans to extend its wires from this village to Hebron, pro- yiding a suitable franohise can be se­ cured in that village, and from Hebron the line will be carried on to connect at Harvard. The franohise oovers a period of twenty-five years. No con­ tract is contained therein in regard to lighting the streets, tho it is more than probable that sooner or later electri­ city will be used for street lighting. Figures show that better and more jugular service can be furnished by electricity than by our present system of gas lighting and at less coat, and it is only a question of time, and a short thne at that, perhaps, when a contract will he enured into between the vil­ lage and Public Service company for the lighting of the village street*.

IN other of those dandy-time dagoes will take place at Stoffel's hall on next Sat­ urday evening, May 31. Heimer's Ragtime orchestra will furnish music for the occasion and a fine time is in store for all who attend. ttobVforget and be there. On Monday night, May 19, death claimed one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of McHenry county, in the person of Mrs. Ellen Phalin, who passed away at her home On North Green street in this village on that day after an illness covering a period of about a year in duration. The deceased was very close to nine­ ty years of age, sixty-four of which were passed in this county, in and around the immediate vicinity of this village. She was born in the county Of Kilkenny, Ireland, on August 9, 1823. She grew to womanhood in her native land and on April L3, 1849, she first set foot upon the shores of Amer­ ica, she following the tide of. emigra­ tion from Ireland directly to McHenry The same year of her arrival into this country she was united in mar­ riage to Mr. Thomas Frisby, whose death occurred in 1856. The follow­ ing year, 1857, she married Tholas Phalin, whom, the sm*vlved eight yearn. She wsiS of the metal Of which pioneers are made. Sturdy, absolutely upright, of a sunny disposition and high character, she was singularly adapted to the building of*a new coun­ try. Sixty-four years ago northern Illi­ nois was a region that requirec^ strong arms and a strong heart. The de­ ceased was possessed of both and that she did her part and did it well no one will deny. It is a long cry from our modern conveniences and methods to the "hob-nails express" and oxen team, the venerable nonagenerian often spoke about. She lived to see hpr children and her children's children, even to the fourth generation. Up to the last she took a keen interest in people and events and up jto her last Bevere ill­ ness, when her physical condition would allow it, she proved a most interesti ng person to pay a visit to. Her. children can cherish and be proud of her memory. She leaves them an honored name, and the whole world is better for her having done the work God appointed her to do. She leaves to mourn her, besides a large circle of relatives and friends, two sons and five daughters, as follows: John, of McHenry, George of Tusca­ loosa, Ala.; Mrs. John Relihan and Katherine Frisby of McHenry, Mrs. Kane and Mrs. John Carey of Ring- wood and Mrs. John Bolger of Wood­ stock. The funeral took place from St. Patriek'a Catholic church in this vil­ lage at 10:30 o'clock on Thursday morning of last week and proved one of the largest attended funerals that ever took place from that church. Friends and relatives came from near and far to pay their last respect and homage to her whom they loved and so highly respected. The last sad rites were performed by Rev. D. Le- hane, pastor of St. Patrick's church, and the remains were tenderly laid at rest iQ the family lot adjoining the ohureh.
