Progress.

Progress.
Superintendent Otis Ashmore has com
pleted the programme for the closing of
the schools for the year 1s99-1sOO and all
the schools will wind up their work for
the year next week. The members of the
High Schol graduating class began their
final examinations Tuesday, and will con
clude them next tuesday,, when Principal
Train and Superintendent Ashmore, as
sisted by the High School teachers, viii
take the papers in hand and determine
who are the graduates for 1900 and who
the unfortunate few to whom this honor
will not pertain.
The exercises of the graduating class
will take place at the theater next Thurs
day night. The annual address will be de-
livered by Mr.. Pleasant A Stovall of the
Board of Education.
A feature of the exercises will be the
presence of an orchestra to furnish the
instrumental music This calls for the
elimination of the vocal music by the
school. which has been a feature of these
occasions heretofore, the only vocal music
on the programme being the graduating
hymn by the class of the year The ex-
ercises will begin promptly at $50 o'clock.
by which the theater will doubtless be
crowded with relatives and friends of the
graduates.
The class of 1900 consists Of eighteen
boys and forty girls, and of this number
it is expected that all but three or four
will graduate, The class, while a large
one, is not quite so large as that Of the
previous year.
The grammar schools examinations be-
gin to-day and will continue for one week.
The order of eXamina tons is as follows:
Thursday, grammar; Friday, geogra ply;
Monday, history; Tuesday. spelling; We'd
nesday, arithmetic. Thursday viii be
spent by the teachers in going over the
examination papers with the children for
the purpose of correcting the errors AMI
showing the pupils their mistakes. This
system was introduced last year and was
found very beneficial to the children. Fri
day the promotions and averages will be
announced and the certificates and diplo-
mas will be presented to the children The
records Of the schools viii then all be
completed by the teachers and turned over
TO the superintendent by the principals.
The work of the year, so far as princi-
pals and teachers are concerned, will then
be completed
As usual the majority Of the teachers
will spend their vacations away from Sa-
vannah. Many have already made their
plans for the summer and are only await
ing the close of the schools to put tn m
in execution. Prof Nj. NJ. Parks. of the
High School. will head a delegation of
about seventy-five Georgia teachers for

mayor Myers Thinks He Had Better
Accept the Vice Presidcncy.

The vice presidential feature of the Re
publican convention in Philadelphia is at
tracing "a great deal of attention in Sa-
vannah, so much so that the uninitiated
in politics might imagine that Republic
can sympathizers were numerous here
just al present. Governor Roosevelt has
many admirers ia Savannah and his nom
ination to fill the second place on the Re
publican ticket would undoubtedly cause
more friendly feeling toward that
party and its ticket in this vicinity tAan
woul dotherwise be the case.
AS to what effect TINS nomination would
have on Roosevcltz future political pros
poets opinions differ. Mayor Myers is ono

There is no telling what changes in

Mayor Myers yesterday THE Repubh
cans of New York state want Mr.. Roose-
welt for Vice President fer more reasons
than one. chiefly because they think that
it would help to harmoniza their party TO
get him out of the state. There is consid-

while it is true that no Vice President
has ever been elected President, there is
no reason why this rule should hold good
in Roosevelts case. He is young man.
and one of the kind that is likely to keep

his party. In fact. to sum it up l think
that Mr.. Roosevelts only chance of DC

President Mckinley, he would step into
the place, and he would then stand a good
chance of being elected by the people at
the next election"
However said the Mayor, "even that
is doubtful. The people of this country
do not like to let one party stay in power
too long. l am convinced that Mr.. Nc
Kinley and his running mate will be

FROM HALL TO SUBSCRIBERS.
Bell Company Furnishes Bulletin
Service to Savannahians.

During the last two days the Bell Tele-
phone Company has been furnishing to

The attempted abduction Of young Pres
ton Everett by King Sabre, or, unprofes-
sonally, William Cashwen, teens with
incident, and each day some new devel-
opment in this interesting story of the
mans unnatural attachment for the boy
is brought to light.
The latest has regard to the ornate
and heavily embroidered handkerchief of
Indian silk which was enclosed in
the note sent by Sabre to young Everett
last Sunday night. The handkerchief is
a weird-looking creation in itself and is
believed by many 40 exercise some quasi
magic spell, that takes away the senses
of those who inhale its odor and brings
a dreamless sleep.
Mrs. Wilson. a neighbor of the Ever
ett's, is one of those who experienced the
evil effects that the handkerchief pro-
duced. After the exciting experiences of
Sunday evening, when Sabre received his
thrashing at the hands Of Walter Sauls
a number of the friends of the family
gathered in the Everetrshome, the pack
age containing the note and handkerchief
IN, he
room made a more or less careful inspec-
ton of them both.
The handkerchief came in for its full
share of inspection, and its odor was one
of the things that struck everyone. The
odor was strange and unfamiliar in the
nostrils of those who smelled 1t, and Mrs
Wilson, rendered curious, held it to her
face longer than did anyone else. Short
ly afterwards she noticed that she was
becoming drowsy, but attached no import
ance to the fact, ascribing IL merely to
the fatigue and excitement of the even
ing.
She retired and when she again woke
it was 4 O'Clock Monday afternoon. Her
head was still singing from the effects
of the drug, or whatever it was with
which the handkerchief had been impreg-
mated, the fumes of which she had in
hailed. She believes firmly that the hand
kerchief, with its strange odor, was de-
signed to play an important part in the
abduction of young Everett, and that had
he inhaled its perfume, 1t would have
rendered him an easy victim to the willy
maneuvers of the magician. Sabre is said
to have been born of English parentage
in India, and to have passed his youth and
early manhood in that land of sorcery
and enchantment.
Certain ii is that the fakirs and adopts
of the Orient possess many a strange Sc
cret that is not dreamt of in the philoso-
ply of the West, and it may be that Sa-
bro has ABSORBED some of these and was
endeavoring to use one of them to aid his
abduction of the boy. OF course, it may
also be that imagination played large
part in the effects that have been thought
to follow inhalng the odor of the hand
| kerchief, but of this it would not be pos
sible to convince any of those who expert
enced them just after the package was

holders of Southern bank.
At a meeting of the stockholders of the
Southern Bank yesterday morning ii was
unanimously decided that application
should be made to the Secretary of State
for a renewal of the bank charter as it
stands at present including the recent
amendments. These amendments, it will
be remembered, simply accepted certain
provisions of the general state bank law
in lieu of special provisions formerly in
ciuded in the banks charter.
One of the privileges obtained by the
amendment referred 10 is that of increas-
ing or deere asing the capital stock as
provided by the general banking law At
the time the amendment was obtained by
the bank it was thought that it's capital
stock would be reduced, but nothing furth-

the conditions of the banking business
continue to be as satisfactory as they are
al present il is not thought likely that
any move of this kind will be made

was played in one of the temples of for
tune in Savannah. or not far away, a day

starry heavens or the size of the bet

twelve hours and during nest of the time
there was between 1000 and 5000 on the

the players, and when the game was
brought to a close, but one of them,
strangely enough, was perceptble to the
