“People were thrilled in 1893, at
the announcement that President
Cleveland would sit in his chair in
his office in the city of Washing-
ton, press a button which would
open the gates and illuminate the
gates of the Columbian Exposition.
The Fair at Chicago this year will
he opened in a different way. At
that time a star, known to astrono-
mers as Arcturus.’was 240. trillion
miles from Chicago, and on June 1,
1893, it started its beams toward
that city at the rate of about 11
million piiles per minute, and the
date of its arrival in Chicago has
been figured out to a mathematical
precision, which will be at 8:59 p.
m., on June 1, next. At that time
the star’s beams .will strike the lens
of a monster telescope at Yerke’s
Observatory, near Chicago, and will
generate a current of electricity,
which will pass through a system
of amplifiers and out*on a tele-
phone wire and be transmitted to
Chicago where it will cause the
gates to be thrown open and start
the machinery of the World’s Fair
Century of Progress.”
Judge Coo-k’s talk was fine ami
all enjoyed it, hut it made everyone-
want to" attend the Fair, but owing
to the “depression” or “something,”
we can not.
The dub is sponsoring an in-door
baseball diamond-, % illuminated for
night games, which will be ready to
use in the. near future. Several
teams have been organized and a
regular schedule of games is being
worked out.

REGARDING PROUD PAPAS
I have a boy of whom I’m proud—
But yet I would not talk out loud
And tell how wonderful he is—
Despite the brain that might be his.
He might be all a boy should be
(At least he might seem so to me)
Bat if, to you, I boast his score,
I only make myself a bore. J
But I know one who’ll listen well
To all the good thiifga I can tell
About my kids—and smile with joy
To hear me boost my girl and boy,
Believing everything I say,
And does not think that I’m a Jay.
With all I say she’ll well agree—
And that’s their Grandma—yes, sir-ee!

Rt. Rev. Monsignore Lannon.
Vicar General of the Corpus Christi
Diocese, gave the address on
“Character and Education,” stress-
ing the need of religious as well
as secular training in the school.
Rev. Lannon is a speaker of note
and treated his subject in his usual
masterly style.
An amusing little play, “Five
Minutes To Go,” was rendered very
creditably by seven of the older
pupils, and' the smaller tots in their
renditions, also the gratifying .ad-
vance in their grades were a credit
to the training and ability of the
Sisters in charge of the convent
school.
Diplomas for Palmer Method of
