"With a parting cheer from the stu-dents of Macalester college the seniorclass went out into the world yester-
day morning to commence the battle oflife a.s it presents itself to each of theeleven graduates. It was the eighth
annual commencement of the college,
and the faculty from President JamesWallace down to the humble freshmanfelt a pardonable pride in the splendidsnowing the school and the senior classha-s made.
The Institution sends ten young menand one exceptionally bright youngwoman into the world. The latter isMiss Winnifred Moore, of Blue EarthCfty, who has the distinction of being
th»> first:woman ever graduated fromMacal college. It was bu-t fouryears ago tliat the college threw openIts, doors to women. The first to em-brace the opportunity was Miss Moore.She is a young woman of charming
manner and Ftrong personality. Shegraduates with honors. It is Miss;Miss Moore's intention to enter thefield a* a teacher, an occupation forWhich is said to be eminently fit-t."l. The others of the class are AlbertEar:,.>st Evans, of La Crescent, Minn.,
who will enter Rush Medical college
after a year's rest; Charles WilliamHansen, of Fulda, Minn.; ErnestCharles Henke, of St. Paul; GeorgePeck, of Minneapolis; John McLearie,of Cleveland, 0., and Arthur AlfredPalmer, of Chatfield, all of whom willenter the theological seminary at Au-burn, N. V.;Charles Petran, of Min-neapolis, who will attend Princetontheological seminary; Louis BlanchardSherwin, or' Lake Crystal, who will be-C'»:i>e a teachor; William Kellogg Sher-win, who will go to a Baptist college,and Arthur Garnet Welbon, of Seattle,Who will attend Princeton.
A largo audience filled the auditoriumof Macalester Presbyterian church,where the graduating exercises wereheld. The stage was draped in the col-le.ge colors, yellow and blue. Banks ofpalms and flowers presented a screenof varied colors. An orchestra fur-aished music for the occasion.
Th<> salutatory oration of John Mc-Learie was a masterful piece of work.The thnme of the oration was sug-gest jd by the life of Dr. Robert Hall,an eminent divine of Cleveland, O.
Arthur Alfred Palmer's oration wasupon 'The Foreign Field for the Grad-uate," a topic which suggests its ownthought. Mr. Palmer believed that thegraduate would find a far better out-let for his mergies and his knowledgeIn the newer countries of the old world,that is, countries like China,. Japan,'Australia, Africa and others in whichadvanced scientific or general knowl-
is always at a premium."Intensity As an Element of Char-
act' -r" was the theme for an orationby Charles P«tran. Mr. Petran's ef-fort was a fitting close to his excellentyear's, work. Intensity of character,he believed, always assisted a personin achieving an ultimate success.

himself with glory for his conceptionof the theme "The True Method of So-cial Reform." It is not often that acollege graduate is interrupted thricein his oration by applause, but thatwas the reward which Mr. Sherwin re-ceived.
Miss Winifred Viola Moore, the firstlady graduate of the college, in her ex-alied title as such, delivered an orationupon •Chivalry." The 100 or moregraduates wore proud of Miss Moore,as, at the close of the exercises. Pres-ident Wallace handed her a diplomaand her decree of B. A. Miss Moorein her oration ventured the hope thatthe old time chivalry which made theknights famous, would some day re-appear. She knew no reason for a de-cadence in chivalry.
George Leek, of Minneapolis, deliv-ered a forceful oration upon "TheMasses and the Christian Church."Mr. Leek's delivery wa3 excellent andhis oration full of thought. This is Mr.Leek's second oration within a few-months, he being a contestant for theprizes last winter.
"The Divorcement of Politics fromMunicipal Affairs" was a topic whichwas well handled by Ernest CharlesHenke, at the conclusion of his vale-dictory oration. Mr. Henke made astrong plea for civilservice reform andbelieved Ha effect upon municipalitieswould be to clean out the present rot-tenness which characterizes mostAmerican cities.
In closing the exercises Dr. Wallacedelivered a parting address of adviceto the graduates, telling them of thenecessity of a high purpose in life.The diplomas were presented to thegraduates amid cheers and collegeyells.It was announced that next year Dr.
G. W. Davis would be dean of thefaculty, Prof. E. C. Downing, principalof the college. Prof. L. D. Brown ad-junct professor of Greek.
At the conclusion of the exercises aninvitation was extended to the friendsof the college and the students to at-tend a dinner which had been servedIn the college gymnasium by the.Jadi.esOi the city Presbyterian churchesOver 200 .«at down to the spread

Statistics Showing: <he Condition of
the Church m the ( lone of
Another Year.
The delegates to the clg'hth annualmeeting of the United NorwegianLutheran Church of America, congre-gated around the First Swedish Luth-eran church rather slowly yesterdaymorning, partly on account of thedamp, rainy weather, partly becausethere were so many dear old acquain-
tances to attract the attention this wayor that way. The crowd was not verylarge. There Is business in everything.Very little can be accomplished thefirst day of the meeting, and, accord-ingly, very many of its members do notcare to put in an appearance until themorning of the second day.
The opening sermon was preachedby Rev. O. Nilsen, of Scandinavia,Wis., who took for his text John xi, 28---29. The burden of the sermon may beexpressed in a very few words: Youmust come to Jesus just the way youare, a poor, lost sinner.
At the close of the devotional exer-cises President Hoyme appeared on theplatform and, in praising God for Hismany blessings during the past year,opened the eighth annual meeting ofthe United church in the name of thetriune God.
At the roll call, 127 ministers andprofessors responded to their names.
The chair appointed the following asa committee on credentials: Rev. C.I. M. Gronlid, of Elon, Io.; Rev. N. J.Lockrem, of Norway, 111.; Rev. J. N.Xord, of Rice Lake, Wls.; T. H. Ler-dal, of Madison, Wis., and J. Aase, ofMinneapolis, Minn.
The following were appointed tem-porary tellers: Rev. O. G. N. Siljan,Northwood, Io.; Rev. Martin Finstad,Rindal, Minn.; Rev. H. O. Fosnes,Hudson, Wls., and Rev. Hammer.
The committee on credentials sub-mitted a partial report at the opening
of the afternoon session and 240 laydelegates were declared members ofthe meeting.
President G. Hoyme next read alengthy and meaty report. He beganby calling attention to the fact that theUnited church was established as avoluntary association of churches, andthat it is maintained by voluntary co-operation. For this reason there is nooccasion for shirking the duties whichare incumbent upon the churches. Re-vival movements had been very pro-nounced in many churches, and manysouls were saved in such. But the pres-ident also opined that the work of- sal-vation had been going on effect-ively even in churches where the noisehad been less, and he ventured to s.tate:that' if all those who had been saved bs_ \u25a0
means of the United church izni thecourse of the past year could have beenpresent, the church would ;have beenfound too small by far. Some .of thosewho had left the United church
—'the
fric-nds of Augsburg—
had called theUnited church "dead," but the presi-dent characterized that charge as high-ly untrue and unjust." The relation ofmost of the congregations to the Unitedchurch was of the pltasantest kind. Onechurch in lowa and another in Ishpe-.ming, Mich, had proposed the establish-ment of an insurance company in thechurch, and the proposition will bopresented to the meeting. Twenty-seven new church buildings had beendedicated in the course of the year. Fourpastors had died, namely, Rev. A. CLAnderson, of Chicago; Rev. AmonJohnson, of Sioux Rapids, Iowa; Rev.C. Sangstad. of Bella Coola, BritishColumbia, and Rev. N. Heiermann. ofAtwater, Minn. The Revs. Skaro, Bar-ikmo and Julsrud had resigned theircharges on account of ill health. Tenyoung men had been ordained ministersin the course of the year, and a largereligious convention had been held atStoughton, Wls. Thirteen new candi-dates were ready for ordination. Thenormal school at Madison. Minn., St.Olaf college, Northfield, Minn, and theacademies at Canton, S. D., at St.Ansgor, lowa, at Jewell, lowa, and atScandinavia and Mount Horeb, Wis.are all doing nicely, and some of themhad experienced a marked growth. TheOrphans' asylum at Wittenberg, Wis.,and the Children's homes at Beloit,10.. Pauls county, Wash., and LakePark, Minn., were doing good service, jThe president had asked those min-.'isters who took upon themselves toordain Messrs. Odland and Berntzenwithout any authority, to make
amends; but he had not been success- jful in that respect. It was proposed to jre vise the list of the names of the mm- !iFters which are supposed to belong to jthe United church, and the rules sug- jgested for this revision by the presi- jdent were so strict that the list may ibe materially shortened before the next jannual meeting.
The president was sorry to say that jthe "so-called friends of Augsburg"persisted in keeping property whichdid not belong to him. He held that |the struggle for the property is prac- Itically ended, however, and felt sure jthat the courts would decide the eas^ !the right and just way. Twelve con- jgregations were lost to the United jchurch by expulsion Jan. 1, 1897, and a [score of others had followed them; !but the defection was surprisinglysmall in proportion to the agitation ofthe enemiies of the United church. The"friends of Augsburg," or "the Freechurch," came in for some extra at-tention at the close of the report. Ac-cord-ing to the "rules" which thoyadopted last week, the president saidthe congregations will have to furnishthe money, but they willhave no safeway of controlling the use of suchmoney, and the leaders were chargedwith "oligarchy," "papacy," "tyranny,"etc., until the audience began to stir.This fact, perhaps, would not have re-ceived so much attention if it had notbeen the settled policy of the "Freechurch" to try to crawl into and splitup other Lutheran churches wherethere is the least chance. The audiencewas visibly delighted when the presi-dent made a slight allusion to HenrikIbsenis, "master-builder." "Thus," thapresident said, "they have gone to theextreme; thus they have placed thewreath upon the pinnacle of the tow-er."
The secretary, Rev. J. C. Jensson. ofClinton, Wis., read a far better reportthan he used to have. According tothe statistics collected by him, thereare 352 ministers and 722 congregationsin the United church. But there ar«*also 30A churches which are served byother pastors connected with the asso-ciation, making the whole number ofchurches connected with the Unitedchurch 1,026, having a total member-ship, including the children, of 226,000.Some forty-four churches had left iiithe course of the year, and still therewas an increase of membership forthe year. The secretary called forthseveral audible smiles when he toldthat thirty-two of those churches hadcontributed about $100 to the funds of
the United church In four years. Ther^were 29,500 children in the parochialBChOOIS, and 26,000 In the Sundayschools. The whole number of religiousnit-etings of all kinds for the year wasabout SB,6M. There are 693 churchbuildings, and 146 parsonages. thevalue of which se^ms to be in theneighborhood of $1,850,000.
Just before the close of the afternoonsession the treasurer. Hon. Lars Swen-son, read his Ivpoirt. The endowmentfund now amounts to $57,Gi)8.51, whichincludes an increase of $2,458.45 for thepast year. That the fund has beenmanaged exceedingly well, is amplydemonstrated %y tHe fact that it wajmade to produce aminterest of $7,087.67.
The college department of the Unitedchurch seminary had cost $5,491. «7; theMadison normal school, $3,661.97; theBeloU children^ M»nie, $4,584.36, leav-ing, in this case, a balance of about$6,0C0; the management of the affairsof the United church in its differentbranches. $15,^sr,.«f- The total assetsof the associaßtm jn<5182,705.58.

MONROE SCHOOL DEBATE.
fiHeiligreiice «>* *"« Horse and Ting". IJ»isi'UM.S«MI.
At the Morfroe"
school, yesterdayafterhobn, in the room of Miss CoraLynch, occurred a debate among thepupils of the Rpsa Bonheur society forthe prevention. of cruelty to animals,on the subject, I'Resolved, That theHorse is a More Intelligent AnimalThan the' Dog." T-he 1debate was veryinteresting and* spirited and showedcareful gtudy a&d\'dee.p consideration ofthe subject. The. pupils who took theside of the horse were by far the mosteloquent, but those -on the side of thedog showed the-ikeenest sense of argu-ment, on- which the decision was based.The pupils who favored the dog wereawarded the decision by the judges,who were the .Rev. I>r. Lord, WilliamKoch and Miss Lizzie Wright, formerprincipal of the 'Monroe school, thetwo former deciding in favor of thedog. while Miss Wright thought thehorse side had won. Miss KateSweeney, who led the affirmative, wasvery eloquent, while Miss Louise Stir-rnan, who led the .negative and wasfirst to reply to Miss Sweeney, was'"very sarcastic' and'ar-gumerrtatlve. MissMollie Gallagher followed cleverly inthe. affirmative and was answered neat-ly by Miss Marion Mites. Other pupilsfollowed, among them being severalboys, but it was very noticeable that inexcellence of. debate, the young ladiesfar excelled the young gentlemen, whofrom a sex standpoint should certain-ly lead on such an occasion.

CENTRAL. HIGH'S1 CLASS DAY.
Assembly Hnll Filled With Friend*of Hu* .Sqholarni.
The Central hi*h school assembly hallwas filled to overflowing last nightwith the friends and relatives of themembers of the, graduating class, whowere there to .(witn^ss the class dayexercises. The,, programme was quitenovel in its methqd, of presenting thoregulation claa^ day features
—the ora-
tion, poem, history, etc. As manymembers of the class of '97 as the stagecould conveniently accommodate andleave the center free and open wereattired in fantastic costumes of allages and countries, and grouped artis-tically in the back ground. The aggre-gation was designated the
"'97 Trav-
esty company" in the new and originalextravaganza, "The Conquest of Mars."The whole was ,d<J6igned by WillisColton Gibson. The*extravaganza wasdivided into three acts. The first act

Grigg3.the orator of the class, delivered theclass oration, "The Crisis and theHero." Itwas a stirring tribute to thegreatness of Abraham Lincoln, deliv-ered with unusual spirit.
The second act consisted of a suc-cession of living pictures, illustrativeof the class poem, written and rtctteti.by Miss Jeanette McMasters. Thepictures would have been more ef-fective and significant had the lightsbe^n properly managed. They repre-sented allegorlcally and otherwise thefour periods of high school life, fresh-man, sophomore, junior and senioryears.
In the third act the airship arrivedbearing the entire class of '97, 150 innumber. President Whitney presentedthe class in couples to her royal hig*h-nt-.ss, Knowledge, who saluted eachcouple with queenly dignity. Thenfollowed the presentations character-istic of class day exercises.

The assembly hall was profuselydecorated with red, white and oiu«bunting and the stars and stripes, andthe hallways were illuminated by Jap-anese lanterns.
Committees of Coniiiierc'lul Bodies
Would Interview Mr. Lowry.
At a recent meeting of the chamberof commerce E. G. Rogers introduceda resolution which was adopted pro-viding for the appointment of a com-mittee of live from the chamber tomeet with like committees from theCommercial club, Retailers' union andJobbers' union to consider street rail-way matters.
In response to this action by thechamber of commerce, a meeting wascalled far yesterday afternoon at therooms of the chamber of commerce.Present were E. G. Rogers and R. A.Kirk, from the chamber; Louis Nash,J. Mannheimer, T. B. Myers and H. E.L. Habighorst, from the Retailers'union. Secretary Talmadge announcedthat the members of the committeefrom the Commercial club were eitherout of the city or sick, and none ofthe gentlemen from this organizationwould be present at the session. R.A. Kirk was chosen chairman of thejoint committee and A. S. Talmadgesecretary.
E. G. Rogers said the street railwayShould be treated fairly, and as thepublic had no definite idea as to whatwas needed, of course it could not ex-pect the company to know. As he un-derstood it there were but three ques-tions to be decided upon. The firstwas the proposed ohange of the cableto an electric line, the second the depotloop ordinance, and the third theBroadway loop. It was reported thatthe three questions were complicatedso that one effected the other. Hisidea was to have representatives fromall of the bodies meet and have an in-terview with the street railway of-ficials. If the company would not dowhat was wanted then take steps to'enforce the demands in a legal manner.The question would first have to bedecided as to what th-e company couldbe compelled to do. In the matter ofa device on the Selby avenue hill, Mr.Lowry was reported as saying thecompany would not operate one. As tothe depot loop it would be well to find
!out just what the company would agreeto. Ifthe company refused to do any-thing the people could then unite. The
i first matter to be' settled was to find['out what the company "would do and[then what "the city couTQ cotrfpel inertr'| to do. He put little st"<tck on!the state-| ment that the' company 'had no money.j He called attention to
'the fact that
ino supplies were purchased by theIcompany in St. Paul, but that all the
oil and coal used was bought in Min-neapolis.
Aid. Shepard who. with Assembly-man Thompson was present at themeeting, took issue with Mr. Rogersabout the purchase of coal and statedthat all the coal was bought from St.Paul firms.
Louis Nash raised the point that thecompany paid more taxes in Minne-apolis than they did in St. Paul, andin this way St. Paul was discrimin-ated against. He had noticed that therolling stock of the company in Minne-apolis was much better than in thiscity.
Chairman Kirk said as to the ques-tion of taxes it was probable that thecompany in neither city paid any moretaxes than it was forced to. Hedid not think this germane to the dis-cuFSion as the question of taxation wasone which rested with the assessorand other officials.
T. B. Myers read from the report ofthe secretary of the chamber of com-merce to show that 410 cars were oper-ated by the company in this city, whilethe company paid to the city treasurera $10 tax on only 135 cars.
Aid. Shepard talked about the neces-sity of a depot loop and the reeds ofthe midway district for a continuous \u25a0
line from the city.Assemblyman Thompson also favored
the depot loop which he had introducedin the council.

day afternoon at 3 o'clock, when itwas hoped there would be a full at-tendance of the committee and atwhich time Mr. Lowry would be in-vited to be present.

for Exhibition at XZO.Assemblymen Craig, Dix and Al-
brecht and Aid. Larsen and Kaldun-ski, members of the joint committeeon public building's of the council, heldan extended session yesterday after-noon. A committee from the Manufac-turers' union appeared before the com-mittee and requested that the rent ofthat portion of the market house whichis to be used for an exhibit of themanufacturing- firms, be reduced. Thecouncil committee at a recent sessionhad fixed the rent of the Wabashastreet end of the building at $60 permonth. The manufacturers, however,reported that this was too much forthem to pay and submitted a proposi-tion to give the city $1 per month andpay a share of the heating of thatportion of the building used by them.The members of the council committeeopposed this plan, and after gome dis-cussion it was agreed to fix the rentat $20 per month for a year, the leaseto be terminated by either party onsixty days notice.
At the regular meeting of the Manu-
facturers' union Monday night, detailedarrangements for the early openingof the exhibit will be arrived at. Themeeting will be held in the> rooms ofthe Commercial club and every manu-facturer in the city is expected to at-tend.
ERROR IS THE FOOTINGS.
Causes Delay in Announcing Result
of the Mutter Contest.Through the error of a clerk in foot-
ing the scorings in the butter contestunder the auspices of the Minnesotadairy board of trade, the judges re-
turned an incorrect award to the boardofficials yesterday, but the latter de-cline to make public the result untilthe judges can get together and again
act on the matter, after having themistake rectified. There was consider-able curiosity displayed yesterday as
to who the successful competitor was,
and many inquiries were received bear-ing on the matter. All such were toldthat, owing to the large number ofentries arid the need of much figuring,
the figures were not yet complete.
As a matter of fact, the error madealters the result, and the board officialsare helpless until the judges get to-gether. Mr. Nivin is still here, Mr.Dexter is in Minneapolis and is ex-pected here today, while the thirdjudge. Mr. Riefsnider, will not returnuntil 'Saturday. It is expected thaiany two of the judges can meet andmake the alteration necessary.
\u25a0 All the honor places, it is asserted,
fell to Minnesota creamerymen.
