Held at the A i i AtidreBS by Bradley ot lawn. West high and North high met together at the Auditorium last night, not in rivalry or in strife, but as one school, united in honor of the happiest event of the school year. A class of eighty-seven members received then- diplomas and stepped out of school life, resigning their former places to am- bitious juniors next below them. The i Auditorium was a i and appro- priately decorated tor the occasion with the pink and green of the North school draped along-the south and the yellow and blue of the West high school along the north ol the building. The stage decorations were simple.

In fact, decorations were almost unnecessary. Interest centered not in forms, 'but in those for whom the accessories had been provided. It centered not in the floating white gowns of the young ladie-3 nor in the roses and carnations they carried, nor yet in thn sternly conventional black of the young- men who sat beside them, but in the individuals themselves; not in the das- sic scrolls which were presented to them, but in the four years of hai-d work and hard play which those scrolls typified. A prayer, a song, a word of advice and godspeed, another song and for them the race of life "had begun. Music was furnished last night by the school glee clubs, accompanied by an orchestra.

John Nichols sang a solo. Rev. O. Breeden, D. pronounced the invocation and President Dan F.

Bradley delivered the commencement address. The Auditorium was crowded to the limit its capacity. Every seat on the floor was taken; even the galleries were filled. President Bradley of Iowa college introduced by Superintendent S. H.

Sheakley of the West Des Moines schools to make the commencement address. He said in substance; i i i i A i This is a scene to stir the blood and i li the heart of the worst pessimist, who ever lived. Yet there arc pessimists among ns who, in spite of all, still think the world is growing worse and point to Greece and Rome, which went clown in the time of their highest civilization; to France, which was torn by revolution just at the close of the brilliant reign of Louis XIV. The pessimist will still be a pessimist, but, thank God, he is very few a.d is growing fewer. If it were possible to conceive of a volcano breaking forth in the beautiful valley of the Des Moines, and if this city were to be overwhelmed and buried beneath a flood of lava, the archaeologist on exhuming the ruins would not find, as in Pompeii, amphitheaters where men ministered to their cruelty; he would not find baths where "men ministered to their lusts; lie would not find temples devoted to the worship of pagan gods, but he would find courts where men learned to be just, schools where they learned to be wise, and churches where they learned to be 1'Oly.

So, my friends, not like the empires of Greece and Rome, an American empire will be built on a foundation of education, cannot pass away. This is an era of education. Men give for it. they labor for it. they die for it.

We have in our country a heritage of glory that was bought with blood, but we hive another heritage--the privilege of every cnild to go to school--and when our armies have reached out over the sea and gathered iinder the folds of the flag the distant islands of the east, therfc will follow the little thatched hut, in which a competent te'acher will instruct even those outcasts in history, in the ways civilization, in truth. I suppose there are now embarking at San Francisco when who will found a new Yale in the heart of China. What is this heritage we call civilization? Civilization is the surplus which has been gathered from time to time and handed down. The savage hands down nothing to his son, for the son begins the father began. There is the physical surplus, and there is another surplus which is the thoughts of men.

This is the literature of a land. This is its history, its science. And there is another side to man--the spiritual side, love, justice, religion. Wi inherit all these, and these three--the physical, the mental and the spiritual--we hand down. This work cannot be carried forward unless there are brains and hands and hearts to carry 5t forward.

-The brains, the hands, the hearts must be taught. There can be no mental life without anterior mental life. This is brought out in the contact between the teacher and the scholar, and so have the civilization of the time. The political developments of the age are wonderful. We see the making of the great German nation--by a man of blood and of iron, it is true--out of a group of twenty-six warring states.

In this way the unity of the race is being- brought about. Then there is the i of language. I think it was Poultney Big-elotv said that whenever an Englishman into a strange land and met some foieigners the foreigners would have to speak English or there would no speaking. There is also commercial unity. Why, flo you realize that there hasn't been any great war for many years? There have been little affairs like our Spanish but they have only been police skirmishes after all.

Men are learning the lesson of peace. They are learning the Ideas Him who came not to destroy but to give life. But because of all these things there is a greater need for education. No wonder you of Des Moines believe in education; no wonder you establish high -schools- and technical schools and colleges and universities, for Des Moines is the heart of Iowa, and Iowa is the heart of the interior, and the interior is the heart of the nation, and the nation is the heart of the world. These churches on the hillside certify to the fact that you believe there must be an education of the spirit to go with the education of the mind, that you recognize that -behind the doctor and the lawyer and the preacher there must be a man and a woman.

In all professional and business life the man is more important thar his profession. This is a good world into which you go It 1s not a bad world, it is not a ruined No, it is a good world, and it is growing better because in it have beei living and toiling the spirits of just men and-women made perfect. Thf opportunities before these young people are opportunities the world never before book has not been written, the greatest drama is yet to come.

In Monday's game with St. Joseph at St. Joseph Vaughan, the big Peorian first baseman, slugged out tbree doubles and single in four times at bat Napoleon Lajoie, who has been causing so much trouble in Philadelphia by his jumping from the National, is playing with the Cleveland American league team, management is going to pay $7,000 a year for four years for the services ol the big Frenchman. There are rumors floating around in Milwaukee that the "Western league -will drop Milwaukee and Peorli next season and try and take in Minneapolis and St.

Paul. The most authentic source of this statement is a traveling man whose name is not mentioned and who also says that the only towns in the Western league which are making money are Omaha and Denver and that tiie league is bound to collapse. The games of tee American association In Milwaukee between Milwaukee and Minneapolis on the 3d. 4th, 5th and 6tD of this month have been transferred to Minneapolis because the management thinks that they will be able to draw bigger crowds. Talk about the Western league team being unable to draw crowds in Milwaukee seems to fit about as well with the American association aggregation.

DEFICIT IN THE TBEASUKT. Poatponfment of Aleet Cashed Financial LOKS for AK i a i i The regular annual business meeting of Iowa State Intercollegiate Athletic association which each year follows the completed its work yesterday and adjourned until nexc year. The admission to the association has been raised from $50 to $100. This clause was put in by the combined forces of Drake. Grinnell.

In case the claim that Pell was given tle broad jump through mistake is sustained by the games committee and Jackley is given first place and Young is thrown out on the protest filed against him. Jackley will receive the individual medal with ten points. Jackley finished second in the 220-yard d.ish to Young's first. Taking away 5 points from Pell's total leaves him D'i points.

Ames people are putting up a strong talk a it was Jacobs and not Young who finished In first place in the 100-yard ciash. Tney say Jacobs was dressed in a blue suit ana was mistaken for Young. W. R. Lane, who was the judge wao picked Young as winner, sajs tie is absolutely sure that Young was the winner, as he read his number.

The games committee will meet in a few days and will pass upon all of the protests filed and also upon the broad jump mutter. Protests were made against i Young and Pell of Drake. Jacobs of and Fiske of With both Young and Pell out. however, Drake would still win the meet. The extra expense this year, caused by the postponement of the meet, has wiped out the association's surplus and left a deficit, the precise amount of which, has not been determined.

Lavigne fought the last three rounds practically with his right arm alone, his left being heavily bandaged.

He was taken to his dressing room and doctors summoned. The physicians stated the fighter's left arm had been sprained and possibly fractured.

Kavanagh, an unattached newspaper man, who had accompanied Prof. Robert T. Hill, the "United States government geologist, on his expedition. When Prof. Hill turned south, toward St.

Pierre, Mr. Kavanagh continued on past Morne Rouge. His route seems to have been along or near the Cale Basse divide. He says he descended from ilorne Rouge into the valley between Morne Rouge and Mont Pelee. This valley was deeply strewn w-ith ashes.

Mr. Kavanagh -was guided by an aged negress to where an old footpath once led to Lake Palmiste, near the summit of the crater. There an iron cross, twenty feet high, was buried in ashes to within a foot of its top. Before him stretched upward the mountain slope, covered with ashes, soaked by the heavy rains and baked by the sun and volcanic heat, looked like a cemented walk. The whole mountain top was shrouded in smoke.

Forgetful of the explosion of the previous night and the awful suddenness of the outbursts and tempted by the seemingly easy ascent, he continued upward and took some photographs and rough sketches. Mr. Kavanagh found the valley filled with ashes and two great rifts, which he was afraid to approach. At 6 hi the evening? he turned back, reaching Morne Rouge at about 9 o'clock. He had made no observations, and realized his danger only the next morning, when occurred the greatest outbreak since Mont Pelee's first eruption.

On Wednesday Mr. Kavanagh tried to descend to St. Pierre, but failed. He found a. little hamlet, in a valley near the mountain, black with 150 dead bodies.

They were not carbonized nor had their clothing been burned off. Probably this valley lay near the inner edge of the zone of blasting flame. George Kennan reported from Morne Rouge this morning. Two hours ago Prof. Angelo Heilprin, president of the Philadelphia Geographical society, but here under the auspices of the National Geographical society, left with Mr.

Ledbetter to make a three days' careful exploration and study of the new craters east and north. London. May Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, has received the following cablegram from Sir Robert Baxter Llewellyn, governor of the Windward islands in the West Indies: "There have been no serious volcanic outbreaks on the island of St. Vincent since May 18. I hope the worst is but the people of the island are still nervous.

All arrangements for the comfort, of the injured, the relief of the destitute and the resettling of the people of St. Vincent are progressing satisfactorily." MRS. CBATBN A A FIGHT.

RcceiTes to Drop Salt theTalr Entate. San Francisco, May Nettie O. Craven has abandoned her fight for recognition as the widow of the late Senator James G. Fair. She has been paid $50,000 for withdrawing from the various lawsuits against the estate of the deceased millionaire, and with today the estate, valued at $20,000,000, that has been so long jn litigation, vests absolutely in Charles L.

Fair and his sisters, Mrs. Theresa. Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt. When Mrs.

Craven first appeared as a claimant for a share of Fair's millions she was offered $300,000 to abandon her contest. She demanded $500,000, and upon being refused instituted the proceedings that were dismissed today. Chicago, May Many thousands of persons in Chicago were unable to buy beef today at any price', and it is declared that the shortage will be felt far more seriously tomorrow. Two hun dred butchers on the Northwest Side have decided to close their shops until the teamsters shall be granted the eon- cessions asked, and many others win be forced to close because of their inability to get fresh meat. A number the Jewish butchers have agreed that they will, not buy any meat from the yards until the stirke to settled.

Although the supply in the downtown districts, which affects the hotels and restaurants, has not been shut off, the deliveries of ice and coal in many instances have been stopped, and it is probable that those who are not in a position, to run independently of those commodities will be forced temporarily out of- business. For the first time since the strike began, violence was used today and the men are becoming so much excited over the situation that more clashes are feared. The police had to, be called on several times to quell small riots. The police details in the vicinity of the stock yards have been nearly doubled and the yards have taken on much of the appearance of an armed camp. BI REID.
