TECHS LAST DAY.
The Closing Exercises of GcOrgia's
SchonI of TechnnIogN.

When Hon. N T. Harris stepped to the
front Of the rostrum in the chapel of the
Georgia school of technology during the
graduating exercises Wednesday morning
and announced that DR. l. S. Hopkins would
withdraw MS resignation and remain as
president of that institution there was
scene almost indescribable
For nearly five minutes the brick walls
echoed with a diaphason Of applause. 1t

was decided early yesterday morning
by the board of commissioners that they
could not accept the resignation of Dr.
Hopkins. For two days they had covered
the educational field in the state. Many
eminent men were considered, but after
eXhaustng the total supply OF presidential
timber the commissioners came to the
unanimous conclusion that it was out of
the question to give Dir. Hopkins up, and
that just at this time he was needed more
than ever.
So they reasoned with him and prevailed,

the whole affair. There was no flow of
lowery eloQuence, no bombastic bursting of
loaded sophomores, no gaudy trimmings,
but solid common sense, sound logic,
thoughtful and earnest discussion-these
were the features that will signalize the
commencement exercises of this school for
1888 as the most notable in the history Of
the institution.
Twelve young men were graduated. All
OF them completed their course with honor
and credit to themselves and to the school
from which they depart.
Before the time for the opening Of the
regular exercises the visitors crowded into
the workrooms and shops, where all the
accomplishments of the students in the
mechanical line for the past year were on
exhibition. All of these displays were
thoroughly examined.

A San Franciscan, travelling through
Central America with his wife and young
babe, rented furnished apartments in
Guatemala and engaged servant to act
as nurse and general housemaid- She had
been in their service less than u week
when she inquired Of the father II the babe
were baptized. He replied in the negative,
whereupon she insisted that the child, a
girl, would be forever lost. Within six
weeks he had tried four consecutive serv-
ants, but found that each one would pill
fer small articles and finally determined
to get along without any help. One after
noon, while sauntering lazily through the
plaza, he was eccosted by servant No. l.,
who asked II the babe was yet baptized.
No." replied the father still unbap-
tized." We'll" she answered, lit is all
right, as I stole her away one Sunday, and
the good padre baptized her, calling her
Maria, so her soul will be saved" 'As II
cannot hurt her, and may help her, l am
satisfied" thought the parent, and so dis
missed the subject from his mind. The
next day servant No. Q, with u new chargt
bundled I'm the linen swath on her back
approached him at the market place, Will
the oft repeated query, "Did you have tn,
baby baptized" and to his reply Of mo
she consoled him by explaining that sh,
had taken the little one to the cathedra
and had 1t named Catarina, so her sou
was saved second time. Somewhat
amused, the father hunted up and inter
viewed the succeeding servants and dis
covered that the babe had been stolen L
the church by each of them and quietly
baptized, the last two naming it, respec
lively, Margarita Cruz and Eloisa Refugio
