Theprogramme opened with an over ture to William Tell by Miss Gale, fol lowed by a chorus number, "The New Hail Columbia," by the class of '96, ' directed by Prof. Congdon. The salutatory was excellently given by Miss Lulu Holmes. It was in part as follows: Four years ago next September, In the great hall of the High School, Bat the poor, despised Freshmen; Strong in number, just four hundred, There awaiting the begining Of the end that was to follow, And since then we've worked and studied; Having, too, the fun and pleasure That have made time fly so quickly, Till at last we're at commencement. We are now no longer Freshmen, But are proud to be called Seniors. And though our member's much di minished, yet in strength there's more to show you. Then followed words of welcome to the father who had come from his bus iness, to the proud and hopeful mother, to the aunts and uncles and the elder wiser brothers, closing with the asking of the granting of four years longer when the members of the class should then be fairly started and ready to show what they can do. German Folk Lore was well handled by Elsie Mertens, who showed herself well read and familiar with her sub ject. 0 Violet Battelle gave an essay on "The Wheel.', and Myrtis Budlong chose as her subject "Without Honor." "One Player's Part," by Allen R. Benham, was well delivered, being an apt comparison of the world to the fitage". Ruth Lusk delivered a charming little syetch, "A Modern Rip Van Win kle," being a supposed return to this world of Chaucer and the story of his encounter with a modern college fel low, his amazement at the wheel and cable car and his witnessing of a foot ball game. "Achilles Heel" was the subject of Jessie Boardman's address which was good. Wm. Odell won enthusiastic applause with an essay on "Party Spirit,, and Clara Ekman questioned whether "Poverty is a Blessing," expressing her belief that it is not. Mabel Milham has a rich voice and easy manner which she displayed to advantage in an inspiring essay on "Songs of the Blue and the Gray." The valedictory was prettily given by Myrtis Budlong and the diplomas I were presented by Supt. C. B. Gilbert in a brief address. Principal Smith made a short ad dress, a plea to the St. Paul people for the maintenance of the High school and also spoke a few words to the class. SUMMER SOCIAL NEWS. St. Paul Chanter D. A.

Charles Zalk Wouldn't Take Officer Zimmerman's Place. Moses Zimmerman, the west side pa trolman, whom the mayor removed from the force for incompetency and in whose place Charles Zalk was appoint ed, will be given another trial owing to the kindness of Mr. Zalk. It seems that Mr. Zalk is a brother-iu-law of Mr. Zimmerman. He was an appli cant for a position on the police force but when he ascertained that he had been appointed to succeed Patrolman Zimmerman, he proceeded to the May or's office, and informed his honor that he would rather not take Mr. Zimmer man's position as the latter had a large family dependent upon him for support. Mayor Doran duly considered the matter and concluded to give Zimmer man another trial. Only one policeman's head fell yester day. It belonged to patrolman Nich olas Anderberg of the central station. The Mayor removed Anderberg for the "good of the service', and appointed Joseph Markie patrolman to fill the va cancy. Anderberg has served on the force since January 1887. Markie.ac cording to the directory has been em ployed as a canvasser for a sewing ma chine agency. WASTE BASKET WADDING. Mayor Doran Will Pay No Attention to Anonymous Notes. Mayor Doran has received several a nonymous communications during the few days he has been «nof/*»«» complain ing of various alleged abuses and crimes. In one or two cases the facts complained of are known to the author ities and in the others no investigation has been made. Mayor Doran in conver sation with a reporter, s*aid yesteaday that hereafter any anonymous commun ications be might receive would be con signed to the waste basket. "As a rule"contnued the mayor "a person who has not the courage to sign his name to a complaint Is not worth troubling about, for it has been proven ling about, for experience has shown that only in very rare cases are anony mous complaints founded upon facts. They are usually the product of spite or some other equally unworthy motive. No attention Will be paid to any com munication which dees not bear the name and a ddress of the writer. Of course the identity of the writer w^ll not be revealed, if so desired, but if any complainant wants me to pay any attention to what he has to say, he must sign his name, for I can scarcely be expeced to work in the dark without any witnesses."

The disorderly conduct ordinance did not cover the case and Mr. Oppenheim admitted as much. He thought it would be necessary to draw a new ordinance a< it would be impossi ble to convict women soliciting In the street The officer stated that he was acting un der orders in doing what he did. The court said a conviction might set a very dangerous precedent, as leading to placing in nocent women in a compromising situation by reason of tempting baits held out to them by officers of the law.

Washington, June 11.—The Interview given by Joseph Manley, conceding the nomination to McKinley, was a surprise to Speaker Reed and his supporters, In Washington. The speaker refused to be lieve the report when it was shown to him night, and denounced it as a lie. To-day he declines to speake of the matter. Mr. Monley took the step entirely on his own authority, without consulting Mr lieed or any of the Reed contingent In Washing ton. A letter was received at Read's head quarters, written by Mr. Manley just be fore he left Augusta for St. Louis, In which he said that he had not given up hope of Reed's nomination. His last step is embar rassing to the Reed men. One of the Reed managers said: "The speaker could not believe that Mr. Manley had spoken as quoted, until he had received cciroboration of the Inte^vlev. He has made a mistake. We did not ques tion his motived nt pll. Probably he w:is laboring under the discouragements aa.-ied by the adverse decisions iv the Alaba na contests, which we had expected to gain, as the sents undoubtedly belonged to us. Perhaps he wis discouraged also by tho number of McKinley shouters who have ar rived early on the scene. We know that no one esn regret the Interview to <Jay more deeply than Mr Manljy does. There are 100 delegates to the convention in structed for McKinlty who do not want to vote for him. Circunistaaces might arise under which the convention wou'cl see that the nomination of McKinley was unwise, j and in that event Mr. Reed wqu.ll .tand the best chance for the nomination. Wo do not consider the tight hopele^j Nor do we believe that Mr. Manley doaaiio-day.

The congress then adopted the resolution of the London chamber of commerce on the copyright question, moved by Mrs. P. R. Daldy, that the law of copyright should be uniform thronghout the empire.

I Mrs. Carter Wits Anxious at One Time to SiTirc a Loan. New York, Junefll.—Attorney Charles L. Allen was the principal witness today in the suit of DavHl Belasco against N. K. Fairbauk to recover $65,000 for services in training Mrs. Leslie Carter for the stage. In many essentiahparticulara. Allen contra-' dieted the testimony of Belasco. He pro duced several letters which Mrs. Carter had written to him asking him to use his influence with "Mr. F." to advance money In order that her theatrical enterprise might not fail when, according to her belief, suc cess was almost within her grasp. These letters asserted no claim except such upon the generosity of "Mr. P." Mrs. Carter also wrote that Belasco's requests for money were in her behalf. "I reauire," she wrote in one of these letters, "eight dresses and three wraps for the plays. It will take $3,000 if I get them in Europe, and more if I get them here." In the same letters Mrs. Carter said: "If you wish, I mean if Mr. Fairbank wishes, I will come and bring all my contracts and show them. ; Oh, I only beg him to loan me a little more money to help me through. I have no way to borrow—I don't know anybody to ask. Here, I- know no one, and in Chicago I could go to no one but some of those young club m«>n." In another letter Mrs. Carter wrote of Belasco: "He Ms helped me without ask ing pay; he has given me my play—his time—my instructions. He has given up other things to put me through. He has has given me his personal influence; he will produce my play; he will answer for my success; fie stands sponser for me on my first night, and before the whole public, and he does it fall without asking pay, ready to wait until I am started for his re muneration—and lie did this all on Mr. Fa4rb*nk's promise *o see me through." Before Mr. Allen's examination was fin ished he left the witness stand in order that J. J. Herrick-andl those of Fairbanks Chi cago legal advisers:' might testify and be relieved of the necessity of further attend ance in court. He told of Fairbanks busi ness relations withi the- Carter theatrical enterprise and oli his guaranty of $10,000 He "related that, in an interview between Mrs. Carter, Belaacoand Fairbank. Belasco had threatened Haicbauk with unjust pub licity regarding His ibacking of the project. Ultimately Fairbanlnhad consented to make an advance uponr condition that it be the last, the assurance: beiug given that his name-should not be'nientioned as a backer of the enterprise.
