We would also acknowledge with gratitude the friendly offices of Superintendent Maxwell. He has ever been champion of the school and its interests, upholding them against the opposition of its sourest critics.

Nor would we forget our indebtedness to our principal, Mr. Larklns. He nas led the school through that most trying period the teething period, let us say of Its existence, and has nursed It into a vigorous life. "When we come to express the gratitude we feel toward the teachers of the school, we havfe' a rather different task to perform. In thelr tase an element of a close personal relationship Is, Introduced.

To all of them we offer our hearty thanks for the friendly interest they have taken in our favor; to some of them, who, from the nature of their subjects, encountered our Insistent practicality, we offer our special thanks and apologies." Chairman McNamee then Introduced Principal Charles D. Larklns, who made a brief address and then presented the graduates with their diplomas. In his remarks he referred to the presence of the friends and relatives of the graduates, who thus showed their interest in the work of the students. He said it was Incumbent on them to justify this Interest by a steady perseverance in the several lines which they might select for their sphere of action in life. Each student as his name was called ascended the platform and received his parchment, testifying to his efficiency in tbp scientific course of the school.

Chairman McNamee then Introduced Superintendent Maxwell and he spoke for a few minutes, giving the graduates some good advice as to their course in the future, saying that simply because they had left school they should not cease studying.

Resolutions Offered by James McKeen Provide for the Appointment of a Representative Body of Workers Who Shall Try to Consolidate Such Political Elements as Favor Good Government and, Incidentally, Mr. Low. The call to citizens of Brooklyn desiring to bring about the nomination of Seth Low for mayor of Greater New York, sent out by John K. Creevey, Charles A. Schieren, James McKeen, brought together about two hundred persons in the Criterion Theater last night for conference.

"When the meeting opened, a little after. o'clock there were not over one' hundred persons in tho place, but the number doubled as the evening wore on. Some of those present were: Horace E. Dresser, James McKeen, Charles Naeher, John S. McKeon, Colonel H.

Creevey was nominated for tem porary chairman by Willis L. Ogden' and unanimously elected. Theodore L. Frothing ham was made secretary of the meeting. Chairman Creevey in stating the object of the gathering said that it was not to try to force the nomination of Low now or to nominate him at an inopportune time, or to inaugurate a Low boom.

It was designed, the speaker said, as a substantial answer to Mr. Low's own suggestion in his letter to the Citizens' Union in New York, in which he said he must first, before considering tho question of being a candidate for mayor, be convinced that there was a senti ment such as would prove to be a unifying force among the elements opposed to Tam many. It was not merely as irienos or air. Low that the assemblage came together, but as citizens desiring the good or tae city. What the citizens needed.

Mr. Creevey de clared, in the mayor of the Greater New York was a man of nope, or commence ana or ue terminatlon. not a man who would devote himself merely to complaining of the faults of the past, but one imbued witn connaence in the future. When the chairman had announced that the subject was open for discussion James Mc Keen offered the following: Ex Mavor Seth Low, having Bald that he may be willing to become a candidate for the offlce of mayor of the Greater New York, If convinced that there Is a popular desire to that effect, and If convinced that his canaiaacy wut prove a um fvlnir forne cunotur the friends of good government. and this conference of Brooklyn citizens having met in response to a general invitation to all interested in the subiect: RftRnlvort That Mr.

Lnw'R xnnrlence in munic ipal olllce, his familiarity with the new charter Incident to his zealous and intelligent participa tion in the work of framing it; his vigorous man nooa, nis intellectual equipmenx ana nis unoiem ished commend him as the man preeminently well fitted to Inaugurate the new municipal administration. Resolved, That in our Judgment a large majority of the people of BrooklsTi earnestly desire that Air. ixw snail De mayor, ana we wm nan witn satisfaction an opportunity to have it demon strated at the polls that our Judgment In thin regara is well rounaea. That the chairman of this conference and fifty other citizens to be appointed by him, having power to Increase their number, be a com mittee chareed with the duty of promoting, at such time and in such manner as they may think most emcaclous, the candidacy and election of Mr. Low, and of such other municipal and county officers as will assure an harmonious and efficient administration.

Ajna such committee are requested to endeavor to bring about a union of all per sons and organizations who, however differing on other political Questions, desire such a conduct of municipal affairs as Is assured by Mr. Low's declared purposes, ana by his past record. John S. McKeon, in a brief speech, said he heartily in of Mr. Low for mayor, but that he did not bell eve he could be elected without having the Republican organization behind him.

He moved an amendment to 'the resolutions so as to provide for a movement toward Low's selection "with and by aid of the Republican party." Andrew L. Dalton thougb't that as the conference was looking for aid from all sources it ought to word the resolutions so al3 to 'take In' all the organizations that would help the Republican's to elect Mr. Low. Chaxle3 B. Smith expressed the view that while the idea of nominating Mr.

Low or any candidate at the present time was premature, still, as long ais the movement had progressed so far he thought no organization ought to be sngnteu to tne degree that it should not be Invited to co opera'te in the work. Ex Alderman Jackson 'Wallace asked that the resolutions be read again. After this 'had been done James McKeen said he was in accord with the spirit of the amendment, but tie thought thait the movement would be jeopardized by tacking on the name of any party to the resolutions by an tagonizing tne large element of the votlne population who do not and will noit train with any political party. There was no need at the present to break Into declamatory elo quence over the resolutions. The main effort should be to adopt the most efficacious measures to secure the end in view.

It would be better to let the resolutions stand unamended than to interpolate an embarrassing resolution constituting a committee wliich mlcht cause no end of difficulty. As to the prema tureness ol tne movement the speaker declared that the utterances of Mr. Low touching 'the conditions under which he might become a candidate made It necessary for bis friends to take immediate action. Mr. McKeon said he was not willing to say that a man's views as to national policies should fcave no weight in connection with, tne consideration of a man as a candidate for municipal office.

In the presen'i ease it appears that Seth Low is the one man who from all essential points of view Is acceptable. After several brief addresses on the same line Mr. McKeon said that as the purposes of tho amendment had been accomplished in bringing out discussion, he would withdraw it. Mr. Dalton regretted that more partisanship had been shown at the meeting than he had expected or thought proper at a conference of such a character.

He was sorry also that it had been made to appear inferentlally that the parties other than the Republican party must wait until the latter had spoken before being asked to participate. He did not want It to be said that the Republicans had captured tho Low movement. Mr. Dalton moved an amendment that the chair be instructed, In naming the committee of fifty for which the resolutions provided, to recognize every shade of political belief in the community. A speaker in the rear of the hall, whose name was not announced, favored the amendment, declaring that it was necessary to lay a firm foundation, and organization was necessary.

The chairman said he would consider it his duty under the resolutions, without the amendment, to recognize all classes of men and opinions In making up a committee which should work for Mr. Low's election. A speaker, who declared himself neither a Republican nor a Democrat, but an earnest advocate of Low's election, said that as all eyes turned to George Washington for first president of the Union, so all eyes turn now to Mr. Low for first mayor of the Greater New York. Henry W.

Knight spoke In favor of the resolutions. Judge Naeher expressed the opinion that the prime necessity before the people was to secure good government, and that the best way to do lit was to nominate Mr. Low. Tammany could by no moans be induced to indorse Mr. Low.

It was necessary. Judge Naeher to secure all the aid possible to beat the tiger, and with the proper forces united there was a good chance to do this. The resolutions offered by Mr. McKeen were then adopted unanimously. Mr.

McKeon then put in as an independent resolution the measure which he first pro posed. It was adopted weth little dissent. Before adjourning tho chair asked that tho persons present send to him names of persons from various sections of tho city of all cl asses of political opinion to aid him In making up the committee. He. requested that the names bo sent to Secretary Frofh'lngham, ax 44 Pino street, New York, or to his own office, at 41 WaU street, New York.

The meeting then adjourned. Tlio Guide to KTeiv York City Is the Eaqi ALMiXAO for 1897. Price 25 oeuta, St. Agnes' Pastor Gets $10,000 From His Parishioners. SILVER JUBILEE CONTINUES.

Alderman John J.

McGarry made the presentation before a gathering of partshloners that filled every seat In the large edifice and crowded the entrances to the church. The check was laid between tho leaves of the souvenir programme of the evening, but the latter was also encased in an elaborate cover of crushed levaint, the personal gift of Mr. McGarry. On the outside of the cover was Father Duffy's monogram In silver and at the upper right hand corner was an ecclesiastical design, in the center of which were the figures "1872" and at tho lower iKght hand corner a similar design with the figures "1S97." The cover was with white moire silk. The ordinary programmes were very elaborate.

On the cover was the Jubilee inscription, at the top of which was a chalice In silver and fancy ribbon work, wtth the dates "1S72 1897." On the first paga was a wreath of ivy, symbolizing friendship. A photo engravnre, picture of Father Duffy came next and then the programme of the evening. On the back of this page were th names of the committee of fifty and facln the latter a photo engrav.ure of the church building. Heavy linen paper was used tha makeup, with the cover or a sun Heavier quality. It did not take long to fill the church ediflca last night after the doors were xhrown open.

About o'clock the committee of fifty, which had assembled Jn the vestibule, marched two abreast down the aisle and took places reserved for them within the sanctuary rail. Shortly after this Father Duffy emerged from: tho vestry, accompanied by Mr. McGarry and John C. York, William S. Kirby, the Rev.

James F. Glynn and M. E. Ryan. The concert arranged for the evening was then begun.

fiAv.ir.il nf rhu RAlrre.rlnn were SO fine that the people were inclined to vloiate the Injunction1' which forbade applause. The address Ih'o evening was then delivered by Mr. McGarry, after "which he presented the check. Among other things he said: Great must be your Joy at tnis auspicious time, dear father: ereater still is the Joy ol your faithful children of St. Agnes' that" they have lived to witness this most happy day.

Your feeling is the satisfaction of tne just man in the accomplishment of the good work he has undertaken, lour congregation re alize in their own persons the benefits and graces of your labor. Not one of us but Is the better for vour strong nelp.

'Long is the record of your good wonts. pure and white in every page.

This Is our prayer, we ask it Him servant you are and who In His own time exchange the laurel to day grack: your brow for the immortal crown which the triumphant army of ministers win and weaK" No merJtion of the check was m'ade by the speaker, but wais handed to Father Duffy at the ooncluslon of the address by Mr. Mc arry. Father Duffy did not learn what tho souvenir programme 'contained until he retired to the vestry after nhe exercises. In responding Faither Duffy said: "I have been made 'to realize during the past 'few days that I am an older man than I thought. Tonight you have woven a silvery garlandaround me.

You h'ave placed a crown of Jewels on my head. Twenty flvo years ago, as I stood before the altar of God and gavo my whole being to the Master, I said I will take the Lord for my portion. I heard at the same time the words, 'Thou art a priest I also heard the Lord say, 'You have not chosen Me, but the Lord, have chosen These words have been ringing In my ears these many years, and will, I trust, many more years. The fruits of these years the Lord knows. You may know them." Father Duffy then dwelt on the power and mission of the priesthood and concluded' as follonvs: "I trust that you will never forget these days.

Treasure the lesson they have conveyed to you. If you do you will more and more reverence tho priest of God whom this celeibratlon Intended to ftonor. If you do this you will some day go to tha't heavenly kingdom bearing praises to the High Prie3t, the King of peace of the world." The musical programme wj then continued by a selection, "Stradella," Flotow, by tha orchestra and organ. The next number was soprano solo and chorus, "Holy City," Adams, by Mrs. Frank Jo'onson and the choir.

Pupils of St. Paul's School Celebrate His Silver Jubilee An Extended Programme. A sliver Jubilee greeting in the form of an excellent entertainment was last evening tendered to the Rev. William J. Hill, LL.D., rector of St.

Paul's Roman Catholic Church, who will on July 19 celebrate the twenty flfth anniversary of his ordHnation to the priest hood, by the pupils of the girls' department of the parochial school. The exercises were held in the, school hall, Warren street, near Court, and every available Inch of standing room, as well as every seat, was occupied by the throng of parishioners In attendance. Tho decorations were elaborate. The programme opened with an overture by the orchestra followed by the chorus, "Ava Marta" by the school; the duet, "Poet and Peasant," by the Mlsse3 C. Leggett and M.

Pillow, and a song toy the little ones. Miss H. Scanlon Teclted "Love's Capture" excellently, after which there was a calisthenic drill by the first class, termed "St. Paul's Silver Jubilee Drill," which proved one or the features of the programme. The Misses A.

Stapleton and Mr. Brady sang the duet, "Polly Hopkins" so well that tney had to repeat, it after wmch the second class In song told of "Village Joys," closing witn a dance to tne air ol Money Musk. Miss P. Brady and Miss C. Leggett played "II Corricolo Galop" on the piano, the little ones were heard in the chorus "Swinging in' the Orchard, and the Misses C.

Doyle and 0. Butler gawe the piano duet, "Die Nacht Parade Komxnt." A one act piece termed "The Woes of an Imaginary Invalid," interpreted by the Misses L. Collmore, E. Condren, O'Hara and M. Cooke, was especially entertaining, the several parts being well taken.

After an overture by the orchestra an address was delivered by Father H'Ul, in which, after thanking the children for their testimonial to him, he said that he considered the school as the most important part of the church work. Inasmuch as it was the touchstone of Catholicity and the test by which CathohC3 were tried. He had witnessed the gratifying results of parochial school work in the past, not alone In moral and spiritual training, but in the secular branches, and hoped for even higher attainments in the future. A series of graceful movements with large fans followed by dance stops. Introduced the third class in a Japanese fantasle, which was very appreclatedly received.

Miss B. Collins recited "Mamma's Little Girl." The youngest pupils, wearing quaint costumes and caps, appeared in an operetta, "Grandma's Retrospect" A fine exhibition of Delsarte posing was given by the senior class, after Grecian models, the statues represented being "Melpomene," "The Flute Player," Diana in the Act at Drawing Her Bow," "Niobe," "The Sisters," "The Muse of Tragedy" and closing with the tableaux after the picture "Columbia Presenting America to Her Sister Nations." A short drama, illustrating the power of a mother's love, was well presented by the members of the intermediate and higher grades. The closing numbers and the star attraction was termed the "Silver Jubilee." The spirits of music, flowers, gratitude, prayer and poetry, each armed with a symbolical silver gift, and personated by the Misses M. Ryan, E. Ryan, C.

Leggett, F. Brady and Hllll gan, advanced to the center ol the stage and presented their gifts to the pastor, whose silver jubilee they were honoring, the guardian angel, Miss A. Wiggins, delivering an appropriate speech. This part of the ceremony was followed by a recitation by Miss Minnie Emerson, who, on behalf of the pupils, told Father Hill of the love, esteem and reverence which they entertained for him, who had ever been a friend to tho little ones. A group of twenty five girls from different grades, each wearing a card representing a year from 1872 to 1897, then appeared and joined with the others In a chorus of praise and thanksgiving for the pastor.

The effect was fine. Father Hill stepped to the front of the platform, but said he would not try to thank the pupils, for he did not know how, but he was sure they would believe that In his heart he was truly thankful. He then presented gold medals of merit to tho following: For deportment. Miss Anna Wiggins; instrumental music, Miss Cecilia Legg'ett; successful passing of the examinations of the High School Board. Miss Mary Ryan, Miss Ellen Ryan, Miss Frances Brady, Miss Mary.

Halllgan, Miss Catharine Breen and Miss Anna Cunlffe. After remarks by Father Hill on the standing of the school, the American nag was thrown upon the screen, followed by a portrait of the rector of St. Paul's, which called forth enthusiastic applause and concluded the programme of the evening. PANI GOT HATH AWAY. Miss Ida Hathaway, daughter of Mrs.

Eeoeive Their Diplomas at the Sec ond Commencement Exercises. GRADUATES IN OTHER SCHOOLS. Essays on Practical Subjects Read From the Platform in Association Hall Public School No. 77 Sends Out a Large June Class Pupils of Principal Best's School Assemble in Tabernacle Baptist Church. The second commencement exercises of the Manual Training High School were held last night in the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian Association buiMing, and twenty young men received their diplomas as graduates in the scientific course.

The first com mencement was that of graduates of the liter ary course, but the young men to whom di plomas were given last night are the first who have been endowed with a scientific training under the superintendence of the Board of Ed ucation. A large audience completely filled the building, while most of the members of the committee of the Board of Education were seated on the platform, the edge of which was decorated with palms and plants. It was 8:30 o'crock when the young men, all attired in dress suits, marched in. Each wore a boutonniere of white sweet peas on the lapel of his coat. The exercises were opened by John MoNamee, the chairman of the committee, who presided.

He said that the theses that were to be read during the evening were prepared in tho regular course of school work and were not fixed up specially for the evening. Each of the members of the graduating class had bo prepare a thesis, and the best of these, It Is presumed, were read last night. Harry Howard Duryea delivered the salutatory. "In Behalf of saying among other things: Tradition saith that was but seldom that the famous body of students, in whose footsteps we humbly tread, could be coaxed from their literary' lairs, where they burnt the midnight oil over ponderous tomes. Far different has It been with this class, whose members some of you must have noticed wandering, notebook in hand, about the streets with their instructor upon scientific errands.

Only let them catch sight ot an electrician, upon business bent, and they would gather about him in a ring of absorbed spectators. Only let an electrical repair wagon come rushing down the street. and they followed it as the messenger boy fol lows a are engine.Only let a new electrical toy have its merits extolled by the street fakir, and they would buy it if only for the sole purpose of finding out wnat was in it. Surely the hardshins of those much seek ing and much enduring youths cannot but arouse your sympathy. I pray you receive them kindly; keep In mind their good Inten tions rather than what they nave actually ac complished, for by so doing, you will derive more pleasure and more entertainment from the golden stream of eloquence that is to flow from the lips of some of tnem, to wnom, tnere fore, I now gladly give place." "The Brooklyn Trolley Car" was the sub ject ot an interesting paper, written by Arrey Doerffling, and read by Charles Fred erick Tischner, Jr.

It contained among otner things the following': "In spite of the fact 'that the trolley car 'nas kept the hospttals and undertakers pretty busy, we all recognize, I think, that it has come to stay. It will probably be the car for years to come, as it has many advantages. It Is swift, light running, comparatively noiseless, keeps down the population and is wkhout such objectionable accompaniments as smoke and steam. In a word, electricity oomes very near to being the ideal motive power for street railways Possibly "there'll come a time, some day," when feeders and trolley wires will be superfluous; when we shall again be able to gaze up at the blue dome of heaven without looking through a network of wires and can cross the streets without a shudder of apprehension of being wired Into eternity, unshriven. If science advances at the same rate that It has advanced during the last quarter of a century, this time is probably not far distant." After a musical selection another interesting paper, on "The Influence of English Men ot Letters on Their Times," was read by Robert Henry Hammer, being the work of Chaun cey Ed'gerton.

An extract of it follows: "The history of a nation Is the record of its life; its literature Is a record of Its thoughts. And just as we find the motives of a man's actions in his thoughts and opinions, so may we trace a close connection between a nation's literature and Its history. The great thoughts of great authors often have their effect, not in the author's age, but after his death. Not but what they exercise some Influence on their own time. That they certainly do and for the reason that they are to a great extent the product of their time.

Before they can be leaders, they must be disciples. They must live In their age, before they can live beyond it. They are moulded In the forms and fashions of that age, and eo far as they reflect and express it, they will probably influence It. Those points may be illustrated by taking the life and works of those authors who are regarded as representatives of well defined epochs. "The first of these epochs 13, without question, the age of the drama, with Shakspeara as its leading eplrlt.

The renaissance of art and learning, which marked the close of the Middle Ages, found its expression In England the form of poetry; and In this revival the drama played the most Important part. The demand of the age was for Interesting and exciting plays, and we have only to recall such masterpieces as Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello, to see that he fully met this demand. But Shakepeare did more than this. He was not content with simply writing for the day. He served at the same time a greater end.

He wrote for the ages. Even before Shakspeare died, the first mut tcrlngs of the storm of the Puritan revolution had been heard. Tho temple of the people bad begun to change; and as It changed there came a change In the literature. Tho frivolous and vainglorious drama had no charms for the austere men who now began to rule England. It was Milton's part to volco this spirit, and ho was in a high degree fitted for the task.

By nature and education he was a thorough Puritan, but his Puritanism was tempered by tho poetic spirit of the Renaissance. The lover of duty was. also tho lover of beauty. Thus Mlltcn's work, though it did to some extent mirror his age, reflected It much less than did Shaks peare's drama reflect his. Hence it had much less Influence on the age than Shaks peare's had.

What Influence It did exert was mainly political; the nation stirred by political problems could understand this side of his work. As llteraturo It at the time had little effect." A number of original verses written as class exercises were then declaimed by Frederick C. Strype. These were, composed by Arrey Doerffling, F. C.

Strypo and Chauncey Edgorton. The class poem was the work of Mr. Strype. Frank D. Newbury then delivered tho vale dictory.

During the course of hjls remarks he Bald: "Primarily, we owe our education to the Eighth Annual Commencement Held Last Evening. The eighth annual commencement of the Sacred Heart Institute attached to the R. C. Church of the Sacred Heart, Adelphl street, near Park avenue, of which the Rev. John F.

Nash, is rector, was held last evening in the handsome hall of tho institution which adjoins the church. Flags formed the only decorations, American colors alone being used in the very effective arrangement on the stage and in the hall. A selection by the orchestra was followed by the opening chorus, "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean," rendered by the boys' choir under the direction Miss Winifred McKinney. The salutatory address was delivered by Master Charles A. E.

Dailey, after which Joseph James Hayden read an essay on "The Christian Religion as tho Earliest Civillzer of Great Britain" and one by John Francis Sharkey on Duties to the Republic." Master Ed ward J. Skelly was the valedictorian. The Rev: Mr. McGuirl. rector of the Church of the Visitation, made an eloquent address to the graduates.

Tne distribution of gold medals, diplomas and class rings to the class of '97 then took place. Father Nash bestowing the honors. The graduates are Edward James Skelly, Charles Aloysius Dailey, Francis Ignatius Mc Laughlin, Joseph James Hayden, John Joseph Buckley and John Francis Sharkey. The class has attained an unusually high average. The institute is under the care of the Francis can'Brothers and is one of the leading schools of its grade in the city.

Brother Egldius is director. The class colors were purple and scarlet the class ring was of neat design in plain gold engraved with the figures don ors'of gold medals were the Rev. John F. Nash, the Rev. Phillip H.

Smith, David E. Callaghan, John Long, P. J. Carlln, Lawrence Mo Goldrlck and John Flynn. The chorus "Amer ica," by the boys' choir, closed the first part of the programme.

The second division opened with a medley of popular airs by the orchestra, followed by the singing of "Hail by the boys. An address to the 'class of '98 was delivered by George W. M. medical director, United States Naval Hospital, after which came the dlstrlbu tlpn certificates and class colors to '98. The papal colors, yellow and white, were selected by the seniortj of next year, as their special badges.

Father Nash made an earnest address to the pupils "and the visitors, his remarks being followed jwith close attention and heartily applauded; The choir sang "Star Spangled Ban ner" and orchestral selections closed the pro gramme. An informal reception followed. mm.
