COMM ESC EM EXT
The Stephenson Female Seminary Com
mencement Exercises began with the Bacca
laureate Sermon by Rev. Dr. J. R. Graham,
of Winchester, Va., w hich was delivered iu
the Presbyterian Church on Sunday night.
The centre block of pews was occupied by
the young ladies of the school and the re
maining space filled by interested spectators
and friends. Dr. Graham preached from
Proverbs 31:31: “ Favor is deceitful and
beauty is vain : but a woman that feareth
the Lord, she shall be praised a thought
ful and finished address.
The large audience that filled Washing
ton Hall Monday night was entertained
with music, vocal nud instrumental, by the
pupils of Prof. Max Brownold, Madame
Ruhl, and the other accomplished teachers
connected with the institution—perform
ances that indicated painstakiug and tire
less effort on the part of the students no less
than the ability of the instructors. We give
the program below. A striking feature and
one that received great applause from the
audience, was the vocal solo—Lullaby—by
Miss Mary Reininger, with chorus. Simi
larly pleasing were the other vocal pieces—
duet by Misses Maud Griffith and Mary
Latimer, and solo- by Misses Maggie Mc
Knight and Lillie Haglev. Among tiie in
strumental pieces were several piano quar
tettes, finely executed—one of them by four
very little girls.

Pieces marked thus were performed by
pupils of the Brownold class; those marked
thus r by the pupils of Madante Bertha lltihl,
and those marked thus { by pupils of other
teachers.
Following the musical program was the
presentation of prizes and certificates to
Prof. Max Brownold ' pupils who had distin
guished themselves in the divine art. I he
awards of medals were determined not only
by the work done and progress made but, in
part, bv regularity of attendance upon les
'Oil'. The presentation speeches were by
T. C. (ireen, F.sq., and were brief, direct and
graceful. Miss L. A. Lippitt, whose aver
! ;ige was 99.99, pf»f, received a gold medal,
a silver medal was given to Miss M. M.
Woodworth, average 99.98, phi*, and ano
ther to Mis- N. B. Woodworth. Certificates
of Proficiency were awarded to Miss L. C.
Lippitt, whose marks averaged 99 9plus,
an.I \\ M. K Latimer and Mamie
Hard*'ty,not tar behind in the average lor
the year. Two of Prof, Brownold’s pupils,
whose marks would have entitled them to
certificates, forfeited them by declining to
play in the concert. Miss Mary h. Lati
mer was the recipient of a silver medal for
M carefulness ’’-with all that the word
implies.
Th * exhibition of the two classes in Cal
isthenics closed the evening. The drill un
der the lead* rsbip of the teacher, Miss Ber
tha Buhl, was unusually attractive and in
teresting. The little girls in the junior
class went through the intricate evolutions
with remarkable precision, and thegraceful
movements of the young ladies in the older
class, to the inspiring measures of the
“ Heavenward " march or the less cheerful
strains of “ John Brown’s Body,” held the
spectators spellbound. The “ dance around
the May pole”—a bewildering combination
of bright ribbons and rythmic motion and
lovely faces and forms—must be lett to the
imagination of those who were so unfortu
nate as not to see it.
The arrangement of exercises for Tuesday
night was as follows:
I. Quartette—Holiday March—Misses M.

1. \V. al S do—’Twas No Vision—Mi's M. j

13. C-oiuposition—Miss L. C raighill.
14. Distribution of Prizes and Diplomas.
The compositions were admirable in j
thought and expression, and well read.— j
Mm Mary K. Latimer's beautiful vocal solo !
satisfied her hearers of her right to the prize
afterward awarded to her, and the songs by
i Misses Maggie "cl efl’er and Florence Hough *
received the applause they richly deserved.
Madame Ruhl’s pupils in both vocal and
instrumental music did credit to themselves
aud to her. “ Our Work ” was a novel and
interesting exhibition of the course of study
of the Seminary. A ladder was constructed
round by round, each bearing the names ol
some of the studies of the school, beginning
with the alphabet—of which small Miss
Louise Latimer told what she knew,—and
ascending to the higher branches, while the
young ladies of the school read essays de
scribing many of the studies. Music, instru
mental and vocal, was “ responded to ” by
Misses Nellie Campbell and Bertha Rulil in
the duet “Music and her Sister Song.”—
Three beautiful pictures from the Art de
partment of the school appeared on the stage
with the “ Paiuting and Drawing” step
in the educational ladder. The Principal,
Rev. C. N’. Campbell, talked briefly of Psy
chology and of the top round—Manners,
Morals, Religion, The Bible, and made an
excellent address on the work and aims of
the institution.
Rev. Dallas Tucker presented, with ap
propriate remarks, medals to pupils of Mad
ame Ruhl—not so much for proficiency as
for industry, deportment, and progress in
music. Before he distributed the medals
Mr. Tucker stated that the standing of Miss
Beulah Hardesty was equal to the first, and
that, but for an unfortunate accident which
prevented her attendance upon school for
some weeks, she would have received—with
another—the highest honors. The first tned*
al for vocal music was given to Miss Mary
Latimer; the second to Miss Maud Griffith.
In instrumental music Miss Maggie Schsef
fer was awarded the first medal; Miss
Keightly Timberluke the second. Rev. Dr.
Hopkins next delivered the prizes to mem
bers of the class in Calisthenics (Miss Ber
tha Ruhl, teacher). He thought it appro
priate that he should be assigned to this du
ty since Calisthenics was called the “ Pres
byterian dance,” and alluded to the fact
that both of the recipients of prizes were
Presbyterians. A prize in token of progress,
improvement and diligent study in this
branch was presented to Miss Laura Camp
bell; a medal, a token of proficiency, to
Mi-- Eliza Sappington Gullahcr.
Rev. Mr. Tucker was again called forward
to distribute medals lor excellence in paint
ing and drawing—attained under the in
struction of Miss Kate Riddle, the accom
plished art teacher. The awards were as
follows: Miss Amelia Hopkins, medal for
pencil drawing; Miss ilallic Washington,
for water-color painting; Miss Elsie Berry,
for charcoal drawing.
General certificates were given to those
whose marks on conduct and diligence in
study averaged at least 90; special certifi
cates to those whose course in any study
was finished satisfactorily. Certificates were
awarded as follows: those marked thus re
ceived general certificates, those marked
thus f special certificates in the branches
mentioned.

.! Prize of $100,000
is a good thing to get, and the man who
wins it by superior skill,.or by an unexpect
ed turn of Fortune’s wheel, is to be con
gratulated. But he who escapes from the
clutches of that dread monster, Consump
tion, and wins back health and happiness,
is far more fortunate. The chances of win
ning $100,000 are small, but every con
sumptive may be absolutely sure of recov
ery, if he cakes Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi
cal Discovery in time. For all scrofulous
diseases (consumption is one of them!. it is
an unfailing remedy. It is guaranteed to
cure in all cases of diseases for which it is
recommended, or money refunded.
Two nines of a Winchester colored base
ball club, accompanied by brass band and
martial music, arrived in Charlestown early
Thursday morning last for match games
with the “Solar Eclipse” and “Cuban Gi
ants,” colored clubs of this town. The
highly colored tennis suits of the visitors
gave them the appearance of a bunch of
Zebras. In the morning the 2nd Winches
ter nine was eclipsed by our “Solars,”score
18 to 2; and in the afternoon the 1st Win
chester nine were doubled up by the “Cu
ban Giants”—score 24 to 12.
We thought the colored youth of our town
were not lounging on the street corners
every day doing nothing, for nothing.
The Winchester Band made some good
music during the street parade. “Razors
Flying in the Air” seemed a favorite and
was well rendered. The visitors left at mid
night. The music wasn’t as good at night
as during the day. One or two important
members had returned home—and the re
maining had apparently more “ horns” than
they could manage well.

failed to cure. “I know of no remedy I
can rely on so implicitly ” Positive cure
for all diseases of the skin. Applied ex

and was argued by so many distinguished
lawyers pro and con, was disposed of by
Judge Duckwall by a simple order of refer
ence of the matter to F. W. Brown, Esq.,
a commissioner of the court, who will hear
testimony and state how much, if anything,
is due the claimants. With a desire that
the matter in dispute should be settled with
the least possible delay, Judge Duckwall
decided the course to be pursued with most
commendable promptness and is applauded
for the wisdom exercised in the impartiality
of his decree.
A Scr(o\is Mistake.
To “clean out” the bowels by strong pur
gative medicines, that weaken them, is a
grave mistake. Take tho-' reliable little
sugar coated ‘‘Pleasant Puigative Pellets,”
prepared by Dr. R. V. Pierce. They are
mild, but prompt in relieving constipation,
sick headache, bilious attacks, pain in re
gion of kidneys, torpid liver, and in restor
ing a healthy, natural action to the stomach
and bowels. 25 cts. a vial. One “Pellet”
a dose.
Our "City Fathers” have recently had the
town hall fixed up for the convenience of
the public; but they have assumed more
responsibility than has probably occurred
to them in giving the assemblages there but
one place of exit—and that in a corner. In
the event of alarm and panic calamitous
consequences might awaken to the necessity
of more than one exit. Better give atten
tion to this at once. A few dollars expend
ed for an additional stairway or two would
be money well spent.
The editor of the Harper's Ferry S'ntinel
is excessively sentitive to any allusion to
John Brown and his “first victim” there;
but is careful not to deny the statement we
have occasionally made in order to stir up
his pure mind by way of remembrance (and
the pure minds of others who worship John
Brown as a hero and the great emancipator
of the colored people) of the fact that John
Brown’s first victim at Harper’s Ferry was
an industrious, inoffensive colored man.
Col. Timothy Quinn, so well known here
during the war as the chivalric commander
of the First New York Lincoln cavalry, and
w hose conduct here was marked by courtesy
and consideration, and after the war a resi
dent at Harper's Ferry and Winchester and
highly regarded, visited our town on Sunday
last. Friends here who knew and appreci
ated him in war time, especially, were
pleased to greet him.
The Annual Meeting of the Charlestow n
Auxiliary American Bible Society, will be

Cotton, District Superintendent for West
Virginia, will be present, and will address
the meeting. A subscription for bible
cause will be taken up. Public cordially
invited to attend.
Messrs. Wm. Phillips A Sons, of this

mill of Messrs. Geo. Campbell & Co., at
Charlestown.—Spirit. *
