Booth Bith lehu, June at Charles Jeastip and Kermlne Gostaphiti, two disciples of the false phrophet, are occupying cells Nos. a and 4 at tbe police station on account of a murderous assault committed on Joseph Michael, a Greek Christian. Michael, Ailol Atto, a fellow country man, and the former's mother, retired early last night The Michaels occupy No. iis New street, a small shop as a green grocery and residence. The building is shed-like in construction and is divided into two apartments on tbe first floor, there being no second story to the structure.

The front part of the small structure is occupied by the Michael's as green grocery and candy stand ana the rear is used as a kitchen and sleeping room. The three occupants of the place retired last evening with the window open. Mrs. Michael occupied an improvised couch next the window and her son Joe and their guest slept on blankets on tbe floor directly opposite Mrs. Michael.

At about two o'clock the intended mur derers arrived and fired four shots through the open window, one of which took effect in the aged women's left calf, two of the other shots were directed just a foot above Joe's head and penetrated a thin partition and embedddd themselves in a box and the other in counter. The fourth shot was sent Into the bed occupied by the woman but missed her and went through comforts, mattress and a board of the bed. The shooting was heard by Sergeant Hildenberger and Special Officer Kelley The officers were too late for the dastards had escaped. The pair were recognized by Mrs. Michael, and the direction of the fellows escape was noticed by Mrs.

Wil liam Smith, who lives near by the scene of the attempted tragedy. Officers Hildenberger, Free aud Gall agher, assisted by Constable D.ran, went to the house on School Alley, in the rear of Purcell's saloon, and caught the guilty ones. One was in bed and the other on the floor. Both were undressed. They were promptly put under arrest and taken to the station house where they were at once locked np.

A search of the prisoner's clothes re vealed a Forehand Wodswort 32 calibre revolver of the old Smith Wesson style. The weapon was fully loaded but-showed that four chambers were discharged recently. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the affair and claimed that they had retired and had been in bed since 9 p.m. Two of the misdirected missiles are" in the hands of Chief of Police Fenstermacher and the two that were shot at the occupant of the home were recovered by Wilson Laufer. Mrs.

Michael's wound was attcudcdjiy Dr. D. C. Malone, and at 7 o'clock this morning she was taken to St. Luke Hospital.

The bullet passed through the fleshy part of the calf of the leg and caused a considerable loss of blood. Tbe premises this morning presented the appearance of a murder. The bed occupied by the woman was saturated with pools of blood, and the bullet holes in the woodwork showed what a desperate deed was contemplated. The shooting is the outcome of an old grudge and the culmination of repeated quarrels, assaults and stabbing affrays. A week or two apo.

one of the Mobanie- dans, Jacob George, was sent to jail for stabbing one of the murderous assailants of last night Promises and threats of last night's at Graduate off the Allentown High Nehool Will Have a Splendid Time To-night.

Further evidence of this reconciliation will bo nuide manifest on July 4, the first anniversary of the establishment of the present form of government. The sentiment of the better clusses is and has been all along in favor of granting clemency to largo numherof the ignorant Hawaiian! who took part In the January rebellion, and It Is the Intention of President Dole to exercise that power on July 4, when pardons will be granted to over 100 Hawaiian. Id-sides theso a problem which has long vexed the governing powers is to be set at rest by discharging ox-Queen Lilluoknlnnl from custody.

The decision regarding the ex-queen's pardon is lielng carefully guarded, and nothing will he known of it by the public until the official act has been sanctioned by the president.

THE CLASS DAY EXERCISES Of the Class of '95, Allentown High School A Carefully Arranged Program Was Rendered The Audience Highly Pleased. The class day exercises of the class of '95. Allentown High School, In M. C. A.

Hall, yesterday afternoon, were an Immense success. To the march played by Miss Emily Blumer the class mached from the rear to the stage and took seats there. The entire program was managed by the class. Tbe exercises all had that peculiar vim necessary for such days, and though many of the Jokes will remain secrets with the class, the audienoe was, to a certain extent, made a confidant and all enjoyed It highly. Arthur Kellar delivered the salutatory.

It was brief and pointed. An Instrumental duet, entitled I'he Dragon Fighter," by Misses Edna Zimmerman and Emily Blumer, followed. Next came the class history, by Miss liowena Miller. There were three epochs to covor the three years In the school. All the pleasantries and the great events, and the small, were enumerated, and neither classmates nor teachers were spared.

Tbe following is the class song rendered In chorus: OUB CLASS BAT. Celebrate this day of ours, with song and smile and cheer, Merry hearts we bring to-day, bereft of every fear, Shall we not remember It and make the memory dear. Memories sweet fer this Class Day. Chorus Hurrah! Hurrah! Review Days now are o'er! We ne'er again need till our bra is with new or ancient lore. We write no more on Friday as we did In days of yore.

That's why we're singing for gladness. We'll search no more for stars on maps of of deep celestial blue. Geometry with all Its charms, we've left behind us tool What care we for old Cesser, or for brave Ulysses' crew, While we celebrate our Class Day! Chorus. Forgotten is our Rhetoric, though It's teacher ne'er shall be I We still retain faint memories of the loved Philosophy. We pray that all the High School books, we never more may see! Then we'll be happy for ever Chorus.

The rendition wbb delightful. John O'Donnoll was tbe class poet, and his production was quite meritorious. In it he reviewed the three years and gently tapped those who, In this time, left queer marks on memory's page. He closed thus: "Farewell to the scholars, farewell to the schools; Farewell to the teachers who us used to rule; Farewell to the Latin, farewell to the Greek; Farewell to the ponies, that we used to seen. Miss Bessie LaRoche charmingly rend ered a vocal solo entitled "Minute Song.

Miss Florence Horgoshoimer presented the insignia to the various members of the lass. A neat speech acooiiiauied each present, and the audience enjoyed it all After her labors were over Miss Horgos- heimer received a chair as her present. A piano solo was then rendered by Miss Ora Ijeopold. It was entitled "Pride of the Ball." Frank D. Buchman, who was the butt of many a lose throughout tno afternoon, now read the class prophecy.

Ho followed in the path of Bellamy In his "Looking Backward" and pictured the vocations of tho different momliers twenty-five years hence. After he was through Miss Sullie Albright portrayed his missionary career. A lovoly vocal solo was then sung by Miss Rosa Richards. The valedictory, by Miss Bessie La- Roche, followed. Miss LaRoche is evident ly a believer In the "new woman." At least she wants woman In the Presl dotitial chair.

In the cabinet and on the Dcncn, ana poor man was consigned to the kitchen. The farewell and au revolts were spoken to teachers, schoolmates and classmates. With the song "Farewell to ths High School" the exercises, which were voted a success by the parents and frleuds pres ent, were brought to a close. The words follow: Farewell to thee, oh, High School Fare-well, fare-well ws say I We never more may meet again. As ws have dons to-day.

Our paths will lie asunder. Some few will part for ays. HWe'll take thy memory. High School, To cheer us on life's way. We have formed within the High School, Our friendships pure and true, That though we part for ever.

This is one of the incidental results of ths war of rates on ths Mississippi steamboats. A writer In Blackwood's says that "priests cannot change their priestly countenance if they wished. For some mysterious reason ths subcutaneous tissue over ths cheek bones and under the jaws of the cleric's tacs gets an undue supply of nourishment, which leaves distinctive marks, while ths consciousness of a share In ths Apostolic legacy gives a muscular set to ths Hps." In China there Is a strange profession for ladles. It Is carired on by elderly ladies, who go the round of the best houses, announcing their coming by beating drum, and offering their services to amuse ths lady of the house.

This offer accepted, they alt down and tell ths latest scandals and the newest stories and on dils and are rewarded at ths, rats of a shilling an hour. A prime secret of the success of ths Japanese arms transpires In Mr. Laf-eaillo Ilearn's pages: "Ask a class of Japanese studentsyoung students of fourteen to sixteen to tell their dearest wishes, and If they have confidence In the questioner, perhaps nine out of ten will answer, 'To die for His Majesty, our And the wish snnrs from ths heart pure as any wish for martyrdom ever born." There are sixty banks In the United States where women are employed, and, curiously enough, out of the whols number all, savs one, are either married or are widows. Another curious feature of this employment Is that no two women are found In any one bank, and no two banks where women hold positions of any kind are I.K-ated la the same city or town. The posts filled range from bank trustees, presidents, vice-presidents, to cashiers and assistant rashlers.

JW- tt Ask your pr oror for Diamond Dust EX-CONGRESSMAN BRUNNER Ha Announced Hia Candidacy -Which Haa Set Peter D. Wanner to Cast Furtive Glances at the Toothsome Pastry. Although the oloction will not take place uutll 18iMi the Democrats of the Berks-Lehigh district are already astir, and the prospeots are that there will be a lively scramble for the aoinluntron.

According to the compact made In 1BK8 It will be Berks county's time to get a bite of the Congressional pie, and up to this writing two well-known disciples ofJclTo son ai Jackson are elbowing their way up to the counter. It Is said by those who have tasted it that Congressional pie Is very toothsome, and, as with peanuts, the more you eat the more you want. Professor David B. Brunner, of Reading, had two slices the delicacy, and evidently he still retains the taste, and hla mouth wate for more, for he-has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination after Mr. Erdman's term expiree.

When It became known that the Professor hankered for another slice of the Congressional pastry it was announced that Peter D. Wanner, a battle-scarred veteran of Berks, Is considering the advisability of shying his castor Into the ring and trying to snatch the pie from Professor lirunner. A reporter interviewed Mr. Wanner yesterday, and that gentleman said that some of his friends had spoken to him about the matter and have urged him to announce hlscandidacy. He admitted that because Mr.

lirunner is asking for a third term, and will In all probability claim a fourth, be is seriously considering the matter. Mr. Wanner was a candidate for the Congressional nomlr itlon seventeen years ago, and was only beaten by two hundred rotes. Ho snys that he made the fight Single banded and against great odds. He also sold that Berks county should be represented In Congress by a man who haa positive views and can express them on the floor.

He expressed himself against civil service and "other new-fangled side Issues," which, he claims, are the cause of all the party's troubles. It Is said that Mossrs. Brunner and Wanner will by no means have the Held to themselves, but that at least ten others will enter the contest. There was a decided opposition among the Democratic leaders to opening the campaign so early, but since Mr. Brunner haa announced bliu-sel as a candidate the politicians have been stirred up and the political kettle will In all probability be kept boiling until after the primaries.

Crnshed by an hnKine. James A. Doylo. 22 years of ago, was instantly killed near the Philadelphia and Rending round house in Reading yesterday moruiug. Doyle hod stopped between the tank of an engine and a gondola car to make a coupling.

A fellow-workman warned him not to try It until the tank was against the car, because It required a three-link coupling. Doyle, however, thought ho could make it, and the engine wits backed against the ear very gently. Ho failed, however, to notice that the bumpers on the gondola would overlap the bumiieronthe engine tank, and he was caught and crushed across the breast.

X. Muixoll, and Charles Ott, of the Sun Inn, Bothlohem, where the party is stopping, wore In town last evening. Johnson was to Kittersville and examined the track. Next Thursday he is going to race thore. Mr.

Meixell has arranged a Hue schedule for the day, aud somothlng good Is In store. A very good story is told In connection with this race, In which are Involved the two great bicyclists of the world, namely, Johnson and Zimmerman. Johnson's backer hits for the past six months been trying to arrange a race with Zimmerman and his man, but the former has been holding off for obvious reasons. Johnson has beaten Zimmerman's record, and It is quite natural that he should be loathe to race with the man. But tho story is this Zimmerman was written to some time ago and a race was arranged with an "unknown" at Kittersville next Thursday.

This unknown, of course, was to be Johnson, and he was to be disguised by a false moustache, etc. Zimmerman has some friends In this section, however, and those were not slow In telegraphing to hi in and telling htm about the scheme, which, of online, at once caused him to decline the offer, and the races on Thursday wilt be conducted without Zimmerman. It would be folly for the latter to raoe against Johnson at this time. He is promised a purse of probably to make a tour through Australia, and he is about to set out on this trip. If lie would be beaten his company will only allow him $3000.

The longer he holds the title tit champion tbo more sheckels will flow into his pocket. The races on Thursday will, however, rank among the liest, aud some fast time may be looked for. BOBBERS IN SLATINQTON. M. M.
