laid the foundation upon which to build the
superstructure. Their closest attention must
lie given to building up their characters and
what they would be, depended on the princi
ples they adopt now. He had noticed that
the girl of 16 was the woman of 60. and the
boy of 16 tho man of 60, for if the girls
acted not on right principles at 16 they
would not do so at 60, and if the boy was
not true and faithful nnd industrious at 16
ho would not be at 60. Of this they
must be the more careful for
the characters they build now will lie their
characters for eternity. He warned them
against being led away from religion by the
teachings of some men of the day, and par
ticularly cautioned them against agnosti
cism. He concluded by congratulating
them, the faculty and the Board of Educa
tion.

Close of the Annual Examinations—
The Art Classes.
The annual examinations at St. Vincent
de Paul Academy closed yesterday and the
commencement exercises will take place at
the Theatre next Thursday evening. The in
struction in painting, drawing and fancy
work is a special department at St. Vincent's.
The exhibition of the aid classes is a very
creditable one. The paintings in many in
stances show ability of a high order. Even
the beginnora show a nice perception of
colors, shading and figures.
The exhibition of decorative and fancy
work this year excels that of any former
year. Among tho embroidered work is a
Velvet window lambrequin in raised plush
embroidery, by Miss Frederica Myers, of
Brunswick, one of the youngest pupils in
the class. A pair of velvet banuerrets
painted in oil, W Miss Hanna, are very
prettily done. Miss Rosa Kelley exhibits a
satin lambrequin and pair of satin sofa
cushions in chenille embroidery. Mias Josie
Miller lias a i>air of sofa cushion covers
painted in oil and unfinished; the design of
ono is a bouquet of pond lillies and tho other
of jonquils. Miss Josie McMahon has a
beautiful piece of work in painted table
scarfs. Miss Maggie McNish, Miss Mume
Poffer and Mias Teresa Savarese also exhibit
similar work. Several paintings in oil by
Mis* Carrie Miller nnd Miss Savarose, one
of the best executed being a panel of flower*,
by Miss Savarose, form an attractive part
of the exhibition.
Instruction in monoohroniat io painting is
one of the special features of the art classes,
and two paintings, one by Miss Lizzie
Mortality and the other by Miss
Annie Goette are admirably executed.
Both pupils have a number of exceedingly
well executed crayon landscape sketches,
and a head by Miss Goette is finely done.
A series of sketches by Miss Martha Helm
ken also form a part of the exhibition. A
pastel painting and crayon land.sca|)o sketch
by Miss Maggie Conway are worthy of spe
cial mention.
The work shows thorough instruction in
every department. In the art classes most
of the work in oil is by pupils who began in
February and the drawings by those who
began in September. The special prizes
awarded upon the examinations will bo an
nounced at tho commencement.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1887.
TWO BOLD THIEVES.
Their Attempts to Possess Other Men’s
Property and the Reeult.
The history of yesterday records the work
of two daring thieves whose bold attempts
were the talk of the two neighborhoods in
which they worked. The first occurred
early yesterday morning. Mr. S. C.
Roberts, who lives at 116 Lincoln street, has
been sleeping on a cot in the parlor for two
weeks on account of sickness In his family.
A little after 2 o’clock yesterday morning he
awakened and found a young mulatto boy,
apparently about 15 or 16 yeai* of age, in
the room, on hi* knees, reaching under the
cot for Mr. Roberts’ trousers. Mr. Roborts
sprang up nnd attempted to catch the thief,
but failed to do so, and the boy escaped out
of the window by which be entered. On
account of the warm w eather the window
sash hail been raised, and the thief had un
fastened the blinds and crawled in.
The other, which was a successful piece of
work, was accomplished with a degree of
skill that marks the perpetrator as rh actor
born, and doubtless with proper training he
would make an excellent Othello. Mr.
Frank 8. Einstein, a clerk with Smith
Bros., cigar dealers, at Bay and Whitaker
street*, was Sitting at a desk in the rear por
tion of the store when a young negro came
in and took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves
and with tho utmost coolness and consum
mate unconcern, began moving boxes about
as if he was a porter. When a favorable
opportunity occurred ho got four boxes of
cigars under his arm and throwing
his coat over his shoulders, walked
out of the store and started down Whitaker
street toward the Bay. An employe who
was looking out of the window or the Morn
ing New'*building saw tbe man enter and
leave the building and concluded that there
was something wrong. He hastened across
the street and informed Me. Einstein of
what, he hod seen. Mr. Einstein imme
diately started in pursuit of his erstwhile
porter, hut only managed to get a glimpse
of him as he disappeared under the bluff.
The follow had not playeif the first act so
well, to forget his lines in the second.
LED BY A LAWYER’S VOICE.
One Attorney Objects to Another’s
Melodious Tones.
The case of John Doe ex. dem. Reuben
Dudley et al. vs. Richard Roc i. e. Laura
Fields et al. was begun in the Superior
Court yesterday. It is an ejectment suit
brought to recover possession of a house and
lot in Gilmerville ward, which the plaintiff
claims as heir to Stephen Dudley, deceased.
The testimony goes back to ante-bellum
days, and involves the question of the slave’s
right to real property, all the parties being
colored.
At one time in the trial of this case the
sweetness of the voice of Mr. J. R. Saussy,
the attorney for the defendant, was brought
before the court for its consideration. Mr.
Ravenel, the plaintiff's counsel, objected to
the manner in which Mr. Saussy examined
one of the witnesses, saying that there was
a peculiar persuasiveness to Mr. Saussy’s
voice that led the witness to respond in the
affirmative, and he was affirming too much.
Mr. Saussy replied that he had not learned
before that ho had a very melodious voice;
certainly no one thought so when ho
tried to sing, and he was sure if he made
the attempt there he would clear the court
room in a very short time; but if his voice
was melodious that was Mr. Ravenel’s mis
fortune. He had a right to use his natural
tone—the Supreme Court had so decided.
Mr. Ravenel said that he was sure that
the court would see his point; that Mr.
Snussv’s persuasive tone was leading the
witness always to the affirmative, and the
witness seemed only too willing to be led.
Mr. Saussy retorted that Mr. Ravenel
had no right to obiect to leading questions,
for that had been his course all through the
case and ho (Mr. Saussy) had not objected
once, but he cautioned Mr. Ravenel two or
three times aotto voce. If he was favored
with a melodious voice he could not help it.
Mr. Saussy then went on with the exami
nation, throwing his whole soul into his
voice and so filling it that even his honor
was touched and a smile played for a mo
ment around the judicial lips.
GETTING EVEN WITH AN ENEMY.
Morgan Jones Arrested for-Setting
Fire to a House in Woodville.
Morgan Jones, a Woodville was ar
rested yesterday morning for arson. About

The Memphians Win Another Game
from tho Carolinians.
Memphis, June 24.—Memphis won an
other game this afternoon from Charleston
in the presence of about 800 people. Forsyth,
who was in tho box for the visitors, was
wild in his delivery, and what, with giving
six mesi bases on "balls and being hit hard,
the locals scored nine runs. He was re
placed by Smith in -the second inning,
but the Charlestons were unable
to overcome the lead Memphis had obtained.
The McKeough brothers were the battery
for Memphis. It was George MeKeough’s
first effort under the new rules. He was
batted freely, but was not given good sup
port. The features of the game were two
foul catches made by McKeouijh within six

Orleans won another game from Birming
ham to-day, nnd the crowd fell off consider
ably. The locals had no trouble in hitting
either Kent or Harry Fuller, ran bases
like quarter-horses, and fielded brilliantly.
It was just the opposite with Birmingham.
The constant fusilade by the locals de
moralized tho visitors, and they could not
do anything well. Sommers started off wild,
and gave Birmingham two runs, mostly
bases on balls, but after lie settled down to
work tho babies stood no show. His sup
port was fine all around, and Birmingham' s
best work was in the outfield, whore Hayes
Duffee and Diestell made some great
catches. The batting feature of tho garno
was Campau's home run, with three men on
bases. Schroder was kind to Birmingham,
very kind, but it was no use. Tbe score by

Tarred and Burned Alive.
From the Dublin Express.
A correspondent yesterday gave an ac
count of a horrible occurrence which took
place at Monasterevan in connection with
the rejoicings of the Nationalists over the
release of Father Ryan. He says that, after
presenting Father Ryan with an address,
they had a bonfire lighted in his honor in a
garden in the main street. While the bon
fire was blazing, and an effigy of Judge
Boyd was being consumed, someone in tne
large crowd that had collected pulled out a
round iron hoop that had been stuffed with
straw, and was dripping with boiling tar
and paraffine, which fell on a lad of fourteeu,
knocking him down, and the boiling tar ran
over his head and down his throat. The ex
cited crowd, thinking the boy one of the
detached limbs that had fallen off the effigy,
kicked and jumped on him, yelling all the
while with half-crazed glee. ' The boy suc
cumbed a few hours after he was rescued.
The police were present, but could not stop
the burning of the lad. A telegram from a
Mayboro correspondent last night states that
an inquest was subsequently held, and a
verdict of accidental death was returned.
The circumstances of the case, it is added,
are not so shocking as they have been re
ported.
A Pitiful Sight.
What sadder sight can be imagined than
that of a noble man, whom the world can
ill afford to spare, stricken down in the
prime of a useful life by consumption.
Thousands are yearly tilling consumptives’
graves who might be saved by the timely
use of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discov
ery,” which is a positive cure for consump
tion in its early stages. It is the best altera
tive and pectoral in the world. All drug
.gists.
Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, (juiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.
