FAIR GIRL GRADUATES.
-Four Of Them Take HOnOTS at 0glG-
thorpe Seminary.

The Closing Exercises an Interesting
Event in the History of the School.
Rev. Charles H. str9ng's Address to
the Graduates-The Award of Di-
plomas by Mr.. J. F. B. Beokwith.
1t was a highly cultured audience of
beauty and chivalry that gathered last
night to witness the closing exercises of
the Oglethorpe Seminary, so ably con-
Quoted by Mrs. Young.
The young ladies of the school were all
out in their white summer dresses, which
gave freshness and beauty to the scene
which is peculiar only to commencement
exercises The young ladies of the grad
uating class, Misses Marie White jack
son, Annie Mcdonald Maclean, Lucie
Virginia Chisolm and w. Elizabeth
Purse, were particularly distinguished,
appearing as they did in their white caps
and gowns. Mrs. Young had displayed
decided taste in the preparation of
programme, for the exercises presented by
the young ladies and their rendition of
each separate part showed that they had
been well trained.
After the prayer by DrS. A. Goo dwin
came the salutatory in Latin, delivered
by Miss Purse. 1t was well prepared and
beautifully delivered. The overture by
Misses Lippman and Mohr, was part of
the programme that was highly enjoyed.
The address to the young ladies was
made by Rev. Charles H. Strong, in his
usual bright and forcible style He spoke
of educated womanhood, and impressed
upon his hearers the necessity of educa-
ton and learning in meeting successfully
the battles and struggles of life
The violin solo by Master Clarence Con-
nerat showed a high degree of musical
talent and culture. Miss Jackson's
''Priere a'ESther' was a masterpiece
She is an apt French scholar, and showed
an unusual degree of preparation in the
details, both Of pronunciation and express
sion in her rendition of this French reci-
tation.
Missu Maclean's class history was a
very interesting picture of the school
life of the senior class, and the essay by
Miss Chisholm, Sing a Song of Sixpence,
Pocket Full of Rye" being original in
selection, was full of original, attractive
and interesting ideas. The "Investiture
of the Order of the Four-Leafed Sham
rock" by Mrs. Young was one of the
most interesting features of the pro-
gramme. The English recitation by Miss
Purse was one of the most enjoyable.
She has extraordinary Evolutionary pow
ers and her rendition of her selection
showed that they have been highly Guilt
waited
The valedictory by Miss jackson was
in French, and like her other selec-
ton was beautiful in conception and rem
dition. Miss Jackson won the gold medal
for excellence in scholarship, which was
presented to her by Mrs. Young
The diplomas to the graduates were
presented by Mr.. ]. f. Brockenborough
Beckwith after few appropriate re-
marks. After the benediction the happy
young graduates received the merited
congratulations of their many friends for
the excellent and entertaining pro-
gramme they had presented their hearers

FIVE MADE THE Rum.
Two More ioo-nIne wheelInen in
Savannah.


The wheelmen who started out Sunday
% make a century run were a little sore
yesterday, particularly those who rode
anywhere near the 100 miles. Two besides
Park Wenzel aud Mercer made the entire
distance but reached Savannah late and
We're not credited with the run. They
were w w. F'rctwell and /. NJ. White.
None of the party. i'm a strict sense, how
c. er, made a century run, which must be
rl..den in ten hours.
OF the fifteen who started from the De

Savannah, and returned to Hinesville.
Twelve reached Hinesville, three having
dropped out after having ridden a short
distance out from Savannah. Park

5:35, an hour and a quarter after the
main party, and overlook them about
thirty miles up the road, and reached
WalthOuryille among the first. He
finished at 1913, making the run in ten
hours and forty minutes riding time This
was a creditable performance, consider
ing the condition of the roads, and is the
best run that has yet been made from
Savannah.
Among those who started were w. p.
OFT, Captain and Pacemaker L. NJ. White,
w. w. Fretwell, Lewis Mercer,
Fl. A. Wenzel, G. S. Park,
G. M. Rushing, William Denhardt, S. G..

panied the party, fifteen in all Denhardt,
Rushing and Rivers dropped out after
having ridden as far as the Ogeechee
river and concluded to spend the day fish
ing in the Ogeechee. Bowling Joined the
trio little later. They were provided
with all the necessities Of fishing party
except hook, line and bait.
The rest of the party reached Hines
vile at 10 o'clock Wenzel. Mercer and
Park were somewhat ahead of the rest
and had left for Walthourville when the
main party reached there. But four
others We're willing to attempt the run
from Hinesville to Walthourville, OFT,
White FretwelT and one other This
proved the difficult part of
the run. Six miles of
heavy sand with scarcely any hard road
had to be ridden and return, making
twelve miles of deep sand. Seven of the
fifteen accomplished this ride.
AT Hinesville dinner was served and all
but Park, Wenzel, Mercer, White and
Fretwell came home by train from Nc

President Young Gone TO Attend the
Meeting of the Atlantic Short Line.
President John r. Young eft for Ma
con last night to attend a meeting of the
stockholders of the Atlantic Short Line,
which will be held in that city tomorrow.
This meeting is held for the purpose of
receiving. the presidents report and
especially of devising some means to pre-
serve and complete the compauy's prop
erty. President Young will lay the mat
ter fully before the stockholders
and endeavor and will get
their Endorsement of some plan
to borrow money to complete the road at
as early date as possible
AS is well known, the proposed route
would give direct line from Savannah
to Macon, twenty-four miles shorter than
the Central line, and it's completion would
be of great advantage to intermediate
points, which lie in rich lumber district.
An account of the present state of affairs
of this road has already been given by the
MORNING News. A million and quarter
OF. dollars has already been spent upon it,
and any great delay in its completion will
entail much loss in what has already
been accomplished. Good results are ex-
pected from this meeting of the stock

A BOLD VENTURE.
Selling Lots on Tight Money
Market.

G. H. Dorsett, the real estate auctioneer.
was interviewed upon the outlook for the
sale, which he is advertising to take place
at Ellabell on next Thursday, June s.
He said, in substance, that he expected
to carry big crowd to Ellabell and to
give them barbecue. That he was well
satisfied as to what the results would be.
Those who do not buy on next Thursday
will be sure to buy at private sale.
There has never been anything like this
property offered to the Savannah people.
But few of them have ever pictured to
themselves place so near the city like
this grand little village. The air the
trees, the water, the rolling land make
you think that you are in the neighbor-
hood of Gainesville, Ga, or Mount Airy.
1t is hard to realize, but It'll fact, that
when you get off the train at Ellabell,
you are on land that is sixty-nine feet
higher than you were when you took the
train at Savannah
1t is desired that our people should see
this beautiful section, and entire conf
dence is felt in their Judgment in the
matter As to tight times" it is a fact
known to real estate men that there is
always money with which to paw for
property which appeals to the peoples
Judgment as good purchase.
1Here are plenJy OF people In Savannah
who have their money where they can
put their hands on it' to pay for a home
or good investment.
Besides, only $40 is asked for on each
loC purchased. Wise men always buy on
tight money market, and it would
be very unwise man who would hesitate
to put out SO to secure q lot in a growing
town.
There must be to every large city nu-
merous suburban towns, where those who
do not like city life can live and enjoy the
advantages of village life
Living is cheaper in villages than in
the city. Land and building is lower
Many persons are financially unable to
| buy lot in those portions of the city in
which they want to live, hence the desire
to go where land is cheaper and which
can be reached readily from the city.
These causes, with cheap railroad fares,
have built up Guyton, Pooler, Meldrim
| and other places In some of these
places property has advanced wonder
| fully.
With large and constantly growing
population Savannah needs Just such a
| place as Ellabell. The railroad people
! give low fares to Eliabell, and have ex-
pressed willingness to assist in it's
| growth and development by additional
| transportation facilities.
Ellabell is bound to become one of orr
! favorite suburban points, and will ad-
vance rapidly in popular favor.-ad.

Yesterday two cars Of Georgia melons
went north The first car of the
season from Georgia left Pelham, on the

o'clock p. m, standard time and the sec
Ond car followed 10 Just q fey minutes
later, leaving Meigs, few miles south Of
Pelham, at 800 O'Clock p. IN. The
first car is to be credited to Mr.. J. II.
Ryan of Pelham. while the second was
shipped by Mr. j. Il. Forester, Jr., also
Of Pelham. The first car was shipped
via the Alabama Midland railway to
Memphis, Tenn, while the second went
TO Columbus, o., via the Central
So far two cars Of melons have been
shipped from Florida and two from
Georgia. Up TO the same date last year
ten ears had been shipped from both
Georgia and Florida. This shows that
the prediction made some days ago by
Mr.. A. A. Aveilhe in regard to the late
ness of the crop has proved correct
Heavy shipments Of melons are expected,
however, to commence within a few
days.
Four years ago no melons at all were
produced on the line of the Savannah,
Florida and Western between Thomas
vile and Albany and now that district
supplies perhaps a quarter of the Georgia
crop. Between Townsville and Albany
alone there are over $500 acres planted
This section is also fast growing to be
one of the foremost fruit growing sections
in the south. Large numbers of peaches
and grapes have been set out there and it
is believed by many to be the coming fruit
section.
Mr.. A. A. Aveilhe, assistant super
intendent of the Savannah, Florida and
Western will go to Townsville within a
week or ten days to take charge of all the
watermelon shipments during the season,
and MIR L. L. Rawls will go to Albany to-
day ON the same business for the Central.

Road-The Work of Incendiaries.
AT 2:10 o'clock yesterday morning, ac-
cording to the chiefs report, an alarm of
fire was turned in from box Ga, at Duffy
and Burroughs streets.
The department responded promptly to
the call, and when they arrived on the
scene found five frame houses ablaze on
the Ogeechee road, between Lavinia and
Wilder streets.
All of the houses were occupied by
cOlOred people. One of them belonged to
Mrs. A. McGrant, two to Mrs. A. Minis
and one to Rosa Tutty, a negro woman in
whose house the fire is said to have
started. When the department arrived
on the scene the houses were so far gone
that the tiremen turned their attention to
saving the surrounding property. small
dwelling houses being very thick in that
vicinity
q The fire created great deal of excite
ment in the neighborhood, and it was
only by the prompt and efficient work of
the department that the surrounding
buildings were saved, The blaze lasted
for some time and the firemen had to
work all the harder because it was at
such distance from the ire plugs. The
loss is estimated at between $1,000 and
$4,000, and was partially covered by in
Surance
The fire was reported to the mayor by
Chief Puder as being of incendiary
origin.

TO IMPROVE THE CATHEDRAL.
The Bid of Winter & Burgess Accepted
and the Work to Begin at Once.

The Bid of Winter & Burgess Accepted
and the Work to Begin at Once.
The details for the work of putting up
the two towers on the cathedral have
about been completed, and the finance
committee has authorized the committee
in charge to go on with the work,
assuring it that the matter of funds will
be taken care of.
The bids have been opened and it has
been decided that the contract would be
awarded to Winton Il Burgess of this city
after few preliminaries had been ar
ranged. The bid of that firm was cOnsid-
cred the lowest and best. They will en-
plOy other firms, however, to do the brick
work and to supply the iron framing and
fastenings.
The contract involves over $50 900 worth
in work and materials for the construc-
ton of towers, and the remodeling of
other portions of the cathedral. The
work will be begun just as soon as the
contract has been arranged and signed,
which will be within week or two. The
work on the exterior will occupy about
five months, and an effort viii be made to
push the whole to an early completion
by Christmas if possible
Tins work is to be entirely different
from that in any other portion of the
building, and will contain no woodwork
whatever, with the possible exception of
, one floor, 1t is to be done entirely in iron
copper, steel, slate and terra Gotta, and
thus is of such nature that it will nee
essarily require somewhat longer time
to complete it than it would under ordi-
nary ClrCumS tanceS.
