Mbs Trump has an excellent voice, care
fully trained for elocutionary eflurta To
ward the middle of the recitation Mias

of her recitation tbe audience gave her tbe
most enthusiastic applause.
"Summer Evening" was rendered by the

ExG.ivernor Pollock of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Pollock said that In looking around

she has been respected. Man dose not re

'M»ry, tbs mother of Washington.' Very

Governor Pollock then turned to the
graduates end congratulated them
the tnccers'ul completion of their «todies.
Ho said to them, that it wa« not the end of
life'« work, but on tbs contrary just the
beginning, They should aim to have true
nobility of character and that could be
secured only by a «trlot adheranee to tho
Bible teachings. At the conclusion of tho
governor's addreei a little girl htnded him
a large bouquet of fljwers, for which be
gave her a hearty kiss.
