CLOSE OF THE
 SCHOOL YEAR
Graduating Exercises of Pollock
 Stephens.
ELEVEN RECEIVED DIPLOMAS
pr. John Heuneman Bell Delivered an Address on Literature = Many Friends of the Fair Graduates
 Attended the Exercises

The school year of the Pollock-stephens Institute closed last night with very suc- cessful commencement at Seals hall.
 All of the graduates were seated on the rostrum and were unusually handsome in their commencement gowns of regulation white.
 The following are the names of the eleven young ladies who received diplomas in the literary department the first three of whom are full graduates:
 Miss Lucy Ethel Mckenzie, Miss Eula Bingham, Miss Annettor Lee Dean, Miss Amelia Braden Nabb, Miss Penney Marr Taliaferro Miss Carrie Belle Sharpe, Miss Ada Leftwich Vaughan, Miss Eva Cabell Yancey, Miss Eula Lee Ellis. Miss Merry Cordelia Whetstone, Miss Harriet Wagner.
 Miss Vaughan is president of the gradu- ating class, and Miss Mckenzie secretary.
 Besides these eleven graduates in the literary department there were two gradu- ates from the training school of the in- stitute, Miss Rebecca Eva Bruce, from the normal department, and Miss Merry Chris tine from the kindergarten department. Both of these young ladies are thoroughly prepared for the profession of teaching.
 The hall was packed with the numerous friends of the graduates, and the spring costumes of the ladies and the moving of hundreds of fans made the assemblage a beautiful scene.
 John Henneman Bell, Ph. D., of the University of Tennessee, delivered a lengthy address on literature. His princi- pie theme was the progress of southern literature, and he seemed to have studied the subject deeply He mentiond all of the prominent southern writers and showed that the civil war had hurt the south much more in this respect than the north He said, however, that southern writers were gaining more prominence every day, and predicted a brilliant future for them.
 The musical numbers were all excellent, and Miss Ethel Mckenzie, Miss Amelia Nabb and Miss Eula Bingham as victorious historian poet and prophet acquitted them- selves admirably.
 Miss Bingham displayed some remarkable wit in the essay she had prepared and was loudly applauded several times.
 The following is the programme as rem dered:

NOT LULA JONES
 BUT LULA CREST
Real Name of Girl in the HoI-
 loWay Case.
CAME FROM SIOON, MISS.
Business College and After ward Held a Position as Stenog- rapher Her Condition Inn
 proved Yesterday.

It developed yesterday afternoon that Lula Jones' was not the name of the woman connected with the Holloway case, but that her real name was Lula Griest. The girl comes from a highly respected family in Sidon, Miss, and her relatives were entirely ignorant of the young Wom- ans wrong doings. Her mother was under the impression that she was in the employ of the King Lumber company as stenogra- pher.
 As fact, the girl did not work for that company, but she left her position about three months ago. Her associates were not of the best and Lula gradually went down with them.
 It was not generally believed that Lula Jones" was her real name, and many sur nises were made yesterday as to who she was until late in the afternoon, when her identity became known.
 Entered a Business College
 Many now remember the bright, pretty girl who came to Birmingham two years ago and entered one of the business col leges to learn stenography and tyQewrit- ing.
 On account of her amable disposition she made many friends among the girls as well as young men, and after her course had been finished she returned to the city on a visit to some girls in Seventh avenue. Shortly afterwards she secured a position as stenographer with a prominent business firm and boarded at 5171a South Twentieth street. While at this place her mother vis- tied her and spent several days in the city.
 Downward Course Started
 Within few weeks she began to receive attentions from several young men and her downward career started. Among her ad- mirers were two or three prominent so- ciety young men, and some ugly stories were quietly circulated regarding the girls actions.
 For some reason she soon left the board ing house and afterwards lived at the Eagle hotel.
 In the meantime she had chosen for a companion a young woman of questionable habits. The two girls were so often seen together that loungers around hotels fre- quently made remarks about them.
 These bad associations gradually pulled the once innocent girl down until she now lies seriously ill with revolting tale of shame staring her in the face.
 Has Employed Attorneys
 pr. Holloway has employed Attorneys Allen & Weakley as counsel, and seemed very careful all day yesterday
 He maintains that he knows nothing of the crime and is perfectly innocent. The girl still sticks to her story, however, and says that Dr. Holloway did perform the operation.
 Chief Austin has number of witnesses who will appear at the trial and expects to produce 9 strong chain of evidence.

How and What to Drink

Avoid drinking large quantities. Gulping down pints of liquid will not quench the thirst any better than sipping slowly 0 twentieth part of the amount; and it may do much mischief to the stomach. It must be remembered that the sense of thirst is not in the stomach but in the throat, and water slipped and swallowed slowly will be as effectual as anything in satisfying 1t. Mineral waters are pleasant and satisfying in warm weather, and it Is well to drink them while staying away in the summer, unless you are very sure of the water sup ply, which, in the country Is often made quate. Too much aerated water should not be drunk; fruit juices are Teally more refreshing and wholesome.

ginning to the end the fighting in the last five rounds being of the hurricane order. Watts showed good form for the first three rounds, but in the fourth and succeeding rounds Joe administered terrible punish ment to the southern champion, forcing him to take the count dozen times. Watts, Tealizipg that he had no earthly chance to win, fought with the des2era- tion of a rat in corner. In the eighth and concluding round Watts was knocked to the floor three times in succession, barely escaping being counted on each oc- casion. On arising the last time he made a game rally and forced Walcott all over the ring. This was his last stand, how ever, right arm hook on the jaw bring ing him to the floor, from which he was un- able to arise before being counted out It was the concensus of opinion that Watts showed great gameness. He was cleverly outclassed, but in spite of his heavy handi- cap he took his medicine like a true grad nate

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY

They tell many stories about General sight in Washington, where he has been lost of the time since reconstruction days. As a speaker he is a rare favorite in the house, not so much because of what he says as because of his manner. He is said to be much more composed in battle than in debate
 Since the war began, says the Phladel- phia Post, he has been the recipient of more laudatory poems probably than any other officer in the army. Even in Scot land and English tributes have been writ ten in verse praislng the valor of the little man from Alabama. On one occasion re- gently he received charmingly written sonnet in his honor, composed by a world famed poet. He is said to have been so pleased by the compliment that he had his secretary write to the poet about as fol- lows
 My Dear Sir:-I don't know why you have honored me to such an extent. really am only a humble worker in the service of my flag
 The answer refreshingly frank, was as follows:
 My Dear Sir:-Of course the poem was inspired by your bravery, but that was really not the cause of it's composition. wrote it because it was so easy to make things rhyme with 'Jo.'"

Edward Atkinson's Assurance

A characteristic story of Edward Atkin- son, the one man on earth who knows it all. is told by the Boston Journal.
 "We recall story" it says, told by the late Colonel William w. Clapp. for twen- ty-1ve years the distinguished editor of the Journal. He and MT. Atkinson had grown up together from boyhood, and, though they quarreled furiousy about almost every public question, were always per- sonal friends Fifteen or twenty years ago, when the subject of ensilage as a food for cattle was under discussion, MT. At kinson called one day at Colonel Clapps room in the Journal office and said: 'Wil- liam, what is all this talk in the newspa- pers about ensilage? What Is ensilage?' Colonel Clapp, who had made some experl- ments himself at his country place in Go hasset explained briefly the process of preservation, fermentation, etc. MT. Atkn. son expressed much interest and went away remarking that he would look up the subject. Do you know said Colonel Clapp, in telling the story, within ten days read of Atkinson's addressing farm- CTS institutes on ensilage and its uses, and laying down law of his own about 1t for farmers to follow"

SELMA
Finding of an Infants Body Puzzling
 the Authorities

Selma, May 30.-(Special.)- .)-Following on Brmingham's sensational case, the arrest of pr. Holloway, charged with performing a criminal operation, comes today in Selma the finding of dead body of child on the bank of the river beneath the high bluff at the foot of Union street. This morning some little boys playing along the bluff found the body of an infant. The child appeared to be a mulatto, but might have been white. It was fully three weeks old, but from the condition of its limbs evidently had suffered with what the doc- tors call "marasmus," a wasting away caused by the stomach not properly assim- Hating its food.
 Death had occurred at least two days before, but whether the inhuman parents had thrown the little one out to die or it having died from disease, did not care to bother with burying it, was not ascertained by the coroner's jury which was sum- moned. The verdict of the jury was that the child came to it's death some two days prior to the examination, but on account of the tender age of the deceased and the condition of the body at the time of find ing the same the jury cannot be certain whether it came to it's death through nat ural causes or by the hands of some un- known party or parties.
 The child was clothed in plain. common apparel, which seemed to bear out the sup- position that it was colored child. But why the little thing should have been so treated is the mystery that is puzzling the authorities.

FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS
One Case of Yellow Death-Dealer in the
 Crescent City

Jackson, Miss, May 90.-Advices being re- ceived from President Souchon, of the Louisiana state board of health, state one case of yellow fever has appeared in New Orleans. Dr. Hunter, secretary of the Mississippi board, sent Inspector Grant to New Orleans this afternoon with instruc- tions to make thorough examination of the city. He will be joined there by h. spector Dunn tomorrow.
 Unless the situation becomes very se- rious, which is highly improbable, the Mississippi board will not declare a quar- antine against New Orleans. Public sen- timent is decidedly opposed to such a step The news of the first case of the season produced no excitement.

Kipling's Definite n of Drunk

Just before his recent illness Rudyard Kipling was made very welcome at the Century club, in New York, and there are several unpublished bits of Kipling going the rounds of other haunts of men in this city in consequence. One of them pur- ports to give the adult Beetles" defini- ton of intoxication. A group of men were discussing the exact location of the boundary between sobriety and inebrlation, when one of them, who is famous for his verse and his views on civic patriotism, asked the Anglo-Indian when he should say a man was drunk. According to the story, Kipling replied, in his drest style: q should say that a man is drunk when he sits on the curb outside his club and cries because he isn't at home"
