He spoke of the pleasure It always gave him to participate In the commencement exercises and how he loved to witness the Joy, the smile and the flowers which always conspicuously figured In the occasion. The speaker then delivered a masterly and scholarly effort in which he took for his theme Development. He explained how In mutual development the law of progress was paramount and wad only brought about by labor, expense and sacrifice and at the same time dwelt on the fact that there was no spontaneity in Its growth, adding further that there was no attempt towards development without a purpose and an end. He then told how sixty years ago a man who had tramped over mountain and vale stood on the top of Red mountain and surveyed the valley beneath, how this man had a vision In which he saw a thousand smokestacks emitting lurid smoke which obscured the sky and the valley one great city. Dr.

Phillips then related how this man wended his way down the mountain side Into Elyton and told the farmers the Immense wealth which was at their doors and bow they scoffed at him and ridiculed the Idea of the ore which they called dje rock having any value. DEVELOPMENT. Continuing he dwelt on how the slumbering riches of the earth had been taken out and how by process was converted Into Inconceivable values. He dwelt on the realization of the dream and how the crude material was only sought for its anticipated value. Turning to the class of graduates, Dr.

Phillips toM them to- dream, and dreAraing, to set out to bring about a realization of their visions. He urged them to continue along the line and to aspire to the highest plane of intellectual thought and development. THE PRESENTATIONS.

MISSISSIPPI HARD HIT IN BOUNDARY DECISION Special to The Birmingham News JACKSON, June 1. Mississippis department of Justice is in a dilemma over the action of the United States supreme court in ordering that this commonwealth shall pay all of the costs accrued in the celebrated Missis-slppl-Louisiana boundary dispute, decided In favor of the latter. It was not anticipated that the court would take ihls action, In view of the fact that Louisiana originated the litigation, and was In the attitude of a complainant before the supreme court. In fact, it was tacitly understood between the attorneys of the two states after their agreement to facilitate the litigation as rapidly as possible and get an early decision, that the expenses would be equally shared.

The recent legislature made no provision whatever to pay the court costs, arranging only for the fees of the special attorney employed, and It looks like the United States supreme court and other interested parties, will have to whistle for their money until the next legislature meets. The governor could not legally settle the bill out of the executive contingent fund, even lr he was Inclined to do so. The total expense accrued is about $20,000, which does not include the sum that must be expended in permanently marking the boundary, and the fees of the commissioners who are to be appointed for that purpose. 1 After losing about 300 square miles of territory heretofore regarded as part of the commonwealth. It looks like Mississippi has been hit hard enough.

At any rate the state cannot be held In contempt of court until next October, as the United States supreme court has adjourned until that time. urins ye Remedy Cures Eyes; Makes Weak Eyes Strong: Soothes Eye Fain. Doesnt Smart. Sells tor 60c. Use Snow Drop Baking Powder.

NO ARRESTS FOB SUNDAY SELLING LOUISVILLE JUDGE HOLDS LAW AGAINST 8ALE OF LIQUOR UN CONSTITUTIONAL, MUST PRO CEED UNDER ANOTHER STATUE LOUISVILLE, June l.In the police court today Judge McCann handed down a written opinion holding that section 1303 of the Kentucky statutes forbidding the sale of Intoxicating 11 quor on Sunday was unconstitutional, but that section 1321 providing for the general observance of the Sabbath had been held to be constitutional by the court of appeals and the court was bound by that decision. Judge McCann therefore dismissed all the warrants against the saloon keepers arrested last Sunday. He holds that If the prosecution wants to proceed against the saloons, it can be done under section 1321. The court holds that under section 1321, It is unlawful to print or sell newspapers on Sunday, to work In a printing office on Sunday, to sell cigars, tobacco, groceries, or anything else except absolute necessities.

Judge McCann in his opinion also held that any person who, following a religion different from the Christian religion, observes a day other than Sunday as his Sabbath, is exempt from prosecut'in under section 1321. The effect of the decision of Judge McCann is, according to the opinion of Prosecutor Hagan, that saloon keepers may sell intoxicating liquors on Sunday, but the police cannot arrest them. All the authorities can do is to take evidence and come to the police court on Monday morning and take out warrants. CEMETERY FOR ALBUQUERQUE. WASHINGTON, June 1.
