Program for Today Tuesday was especially 'notable In the ries of event distinguishing fbe Bap- ;. r-ml University commencement -tAr. mt i o'clock br Dr. W. tr..,k.. Jtirhmntvl the art exhibit a to in the afternoon, and the papils' concert at night. AH three event were characterized by a h:gh degree or Jrp2co3mence5nent exercises will cul mtaate today ia an appropriate program at 11 o'clock, when aipiomas wui u awarded to the ten young lady graduate, and then this, tne moat succwm year's -work in the history of this splen CJd Institution, will be brought o a close. Dr. IIaltbr A44rM There ma an Immense audience assem bled in the UniTSrsity 'chapel to hear Dr. Hatcher's address, aud every one -was charmed and delighted with )t. Ills theme was "The worlds cxratrioutors nr ivvnnr" Particular stress was put upon the proposition that the people of the world are divided Into thre' classes tho pensioners, those who live on bounty, incapable of self-support, producing Tinthln. havin the Dower to receive. but not to sire: the self-supporting. those who can take care of themselves. who aet up for themselves -and no one else. Thia class is above the first, for it is better to be able to take care of ourselves than to depend soieiy upon others. Thoso who have a surplus. enough and to spare, who can support themselves and have something ror uou d tar others. Dr. Hatcher said that he norr ad dressed an audience largely composed of those who had of necessity belonged to the first class. But -they as young ladies must climb higher and know the charm o' self-reliance. She is the true waman. said he. who ts self-reliant and feel that she is dependent In a way npou nobody and can take care of tier self. But the ambition of all should be to reach the third and highest class. If you would nmount to anything yoi rnnrt be a donor or contributor, to the wotM. The w.-rd contributor naturally sug gests money, and Mr. Hatcher regret . ed the predominance in thought of money. The college and universities are so aften created by gifta of the great money makers. But there Is a charm and an influence in a true Col lege that money cannot add. In speaking of contributors he told what great things Mr. Carnegie was doing with hi money. While the world has little room for towering genius which whan eclipse all others, still there U plenty of room for good men and wo men. All must get Into the contribu ting class and to this end we must hav the wurces to meet the wants of others. Adlresing himself to the young la dw he said: "Your gift to the world is to be In accord with what you are. Be donors to he world and whatever comes give yourselves freely and be sure that you put something into your life worth giving." In closing he spoke of the glorious reward that comes to donors to the betterment of the world. The Arc Exhibit During the afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock the art gallery of the University on the fourth floor was thronged with people who greatly admired the art ex hibit which was admirably arranged and in charge of a bevy of charming youn? students and the gifted art instructor.

The cele brated war claim case came np for con sfderation today. The great auditorium was crowded - to its utmost , limit and hundreds were unable to gain admit tance. The majority report was first read, then the minority Teport was read, and 'It was mored that It-be-made a substitute for the majority report. At this juncture a compromise paper, got ten up last night by twenty-seven dele gates, -was read. How to get it before the conference - was the question. Ths question was solved by a motion' to lay the minority report by sections on ths table. The . motion was . carried by a considerable majority. Then j the com promise paper was offered . as a substi tute for the majority report. (A motion to lay on the table was defeated.' xae nr svn of ths compromise paper was adopted. It is tolthe effect that the mlslead'ng -statements of any and all agents of the church In connec tion with the passage of the bill by Con gress be condemned. The conferenct then adjourned till 8 o'clock tonight, when it is prcjtically certain that the other leading sections of the compto miss paper .will be adopted, j This sec- J1O0.800, to be raised by the church to toake np the amount which the benefi ciaries of the chureh had been deprived of according to 'the statement of the aenate.

The failure of health is often so gradual that women do not notice the com ing of disease until actual pain and suffer ing is upon them. After the pain ceases temporally they think little of " the trou bles that come and go in a day." They do not know that headaches, biliousness, stom ach troubles and colds create deep-seated diseases. They do not realize that a sallow complexion and a leathery skin are fore runners of Bright 's disease of the kidneys; that constipation and a feeling of languor show a torpid liver. . Bright V disease conies from diseased kidneys and develops completely before any warning ia given, because kidneys have few nerves. t A tor pid liver invites all ktnds of contagion. Ir regular menstruation is the beginning of a life of sufferinGT affectinsr every part of the body if not promptly corrected. ,Wine of Cardui is the remedy that has a record of over 1,000,000 cures of this malady. Every woman who value's her health should keep Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black- Draught in her home and take it regularly before and during the menstrual period, This will insure a regular and healthy men struation and guard against a running down of the system which always results in such serious trouble for women. Thousands of women praise Wine of Cardui aa a remedy for woman's ills. It is a medicine widely known in every state m the Union and we have yet to hear of a case of female weakness where Wine of Cardui WHNE OF ! CAMDU: ROUNDS OUT A GIGANTIC SYSTEM The Morion Line Acquried by the Southern and the L & N, . New York. May 20. The directors of the Southern and Louisville & Nash ville met today aud agreed to issue joint 4 per cent bonds for a controlling in terest in the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville, or Monon system. The price to be paid for Monon is 7S and'for the preferred 90. . Ths operation as outlined is practically identical with the operation by which the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail road 'was bought test year by the North era Faciftc and Great Northern railway companies, by their Issuing joint 4 per cent bonds. The acquirement of the Monon jointly by the Louisville & Nashville and Sou-th-J ern rounds out and .complete a gigantic railroad system covering the entire southern territory' east of the Missis sippi river. It fcives to tho Louisville &, Nashville and the Southern Railway a direot entrance jointly into the city of Chicago. Both the roads' systems connect at Louisville with the Monon. The connection makes a direct north and south route via the Louisville & Nash- rVUle from Chicago to New Orleans. It la a route ipraotically paralleling: -the Illinois Central's system from Chicajro to New Orleans, which ia controlled bv the Harrfman interests. The negotiations for this purchase have been conducted-by J. P. Morgan & Co., and they are understood to be satisfactory to Gen. Samuel Thomas and associates who control the road. . The offer to buy the property is a comprehen sive one, extending to - the minority shareholders the terms given the ma jority shareholders. To Monon share holders who do not care to 'exchange their shares for the new 4 per cent, joint bonds of the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville, an alternative proposition is made to give them 60 per cent in cash and 40 per cent in bonds. The transfer of the Monon to its new owners will be made about June 1. A new board of directors will be made up composed about equally by representa tives of the Southern and Louisville and Nashville. President McDowell, It is expected, will remain executive head of the Mon on, which will be operated indepen dently, but with a view of giving spe cial advantages to each of the purchas ing companies. An announcement was made today by authority that the new joint 4 per cent bonds are to be nnderwritten at par. The. underwriting syndicate has been formed and completed. . WAGER OF BATTLE Strike of Coal Miners Will Probably Come to Acts of Violence . Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 20. Upon the conference of United .

If the conference votes Jo call out the firemen and pump men trouble is snre to begin at onee. The mine operators will not permit their mines to fill np. with water, ,and striking firemen are as certain to resent the employment of other men in their places as the operators . ars certain to employ such men: The issue Is almost equally certain to be decided by wager of battle.
