In loss than a month tho graduating
exercises of the high schools will take
rlscp and twenty prospective fair and
bright gii l graduates are ail in a flutter
*s to what they shall wear and who will
lead. Twelve e.snys will be the maxi
mum number read on commencement day,
and for weeks the learned professors have
l)Acn trying to div ide 12 by 20 so that each
senior will get a chance to read. The
little problem in division has not been
solved yet and the honors will be awarded
according to the standing of the members
in the class.
The twe've young ladies who have the
tipt rpcords in etiquette, United States

try, attendance, astronomy, deport
ment, unnatural and natural philosophy
will he the ones selected to read, l.aat
year the suras question arose and was
settled iu the same way, but the plan did
Wot work like oil does on troubled waters.
DIVIDING THE HONORS.
There has been an amiable rivalry
#mong the seniors since the opening of
She present scholastic year, and it is
flhnped that there will tie no ripple to dis
turb the closing weeks of the term A
rumor was afloat that some of the young
ladies were thinking ol writing to Pow
vierlv or Martin Irons about the discrimi
nation and the cut in the number of es
sayists. One of the professors assured a
Mews reporter yesterday that there is no
truth in the rumor.
The boys discussed a strike for shorter
Tours. hut it was decided to
postpone it until after vacation. They
reasoned that even should they win now
the fight would have to be made over
ngain aPer the holidays, and as there are
*>"lv a few weeks left public sentiment
•would ho against them, (hr the people
would think that they ought to put up
with the present system until the end of
Ibe term.
STYLES IN KSSAY PAPER.
There will not be much change iu style
fin eithercommcr.cement dresses or essays
this season. Young ladies’ essays will be
wholly upon note paper. (Hit-edged
promises to I* popular, and pink and blue
will probably be the prevailing shades.
Jn a lew cases plain white will be worn
to match the dresser The soft, delicate
colors in papers are always most desir
able, although red ink should be avoided,
wherever possible.on pages of deep pink nr
crushed strawberry hues. Brunettes will
look well with striped and plaid e-says in
tbelr hands, provided the colors are fast
and will not come off on the white gloves.
Mourning paper will, of course, be the
jirnner thing for girls in mourniDg and
lialf mourning. Yellow am green will
not be revived in papers, although those
colors mav be seen occasionally in ribbons
with which the essays are tied.
THE LATEST OUT.
Frankie Folsom yellow, a shade which
president Cleveland’s bride-elect tied her
commencement essay with will be all the
rage this year. The color will be especial.
Jy popular here as It is the same shade
as Savannah river water alter a heavy
rain up country.
The boys will wear fool’s cap, lezal cap
and sermon paper, with a sprinkling of
note and letter sheets. Wrapping paper
will be seen at rare intervals and perhaps
Nil heads. The boys will discard ribbons
altogether, and will use pins and brass
fasteners.

THE NACOOCHEE ALL KIGHT.
The Humor of Her Loss a Hoax —The
Excitement it Caused.
A rumor was started last night that
the steamship Nacoochee which sailed
for New York at 2 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon was blown up Just outside of the
bar, and was lost with all on board. The
rumor created intense excitement in the
city. In a very short time half tho city
bad heard it, and the Ocean Steamship
office, the Morning News office, aud the
telegraph and telephone t ffle.es were be
sieged with anxious inquirers. The
News reporters were sent out upon the
dm inquiry.
At the company’s ’office it was stated
that the Nacoocbeo left her wharf at 2
o’clock in the alternoon and passed out of
Tybee roads at 3 o’clock. The Tybee ob
server reported her having passed the
lightship at 6 o’clock, when stie was seen
taking her course. No vessel had ar
rived at the city from below or had been
signaled at Tybee since the Nacoochee
sailed and consequently no report could
possibly have reached tbecity in any way
except by the Tvbae telegraph line. The
whole thing was plainly a hoax.
The steamer had# large passenger list,
and the rumor thait slie had gone down
caused tbo greatest excitement. Up
to 11 o’clock the Morning News tele
phones were busy almost every minute
aud there were hundreds of inquiries at
the counting rooms. Tne steamship office
closed at 8 o’clock, but up to that hour
was besieged with Inquirers. The rumor
was denied from the start.
The tug Sophie, which towed out the bark
Olaf Glas. reached the city at 9 o’clock last
night. The Nacoochee pass-d the tug
down the river. The tug reached the bar
at 6 o’clock and at 5:30 o’clock tbo Na
coochee had taken her courseoff the light
ship. The tug left the hark a little after
6 o’clock. The steamer had then passed
out of sight. An hour later the rumor
was started tn the city that she had gone
down. Every effort was made to trace
the rumor to its source. It may have been
started to create a sensation. If that is
the case its aui her succeeded.
Atlanta and Hawklnsviile Railroad.
The Middle Georgia Times says: “It is
about time our people were taking some
action in reference to the Atlanta and
Hawkineville railroad if they expect that
road to come by Thomuston.”
The Home Journal, Perry: “The sur
vey nf the Atlanta and Hawkinsville
road has been made. The entire length of
tbe line is 125 mites, placing Atlanta 20
miles nearer to Hawkinsville than by the
existing road, and 34 miles nearer to
Perry. The peopleof this community can
determine for tnemselves whether it sliul)
pass through Perry or not. Prompt and
emphatic action is necessary.”

to the patient.”
Dr. tVitnur.
Dr. Wilbur iett the city last night for
his Northern home. His visit to Savan
nah has been an event in its medical ex
perience. His frank dealing, his pleasaut
ways, his intuitive and unerring methods,
his scientific knowledge, his varied ex
perience and bis remarkable success in
difficult cases, established him quickly
and firmly in the confidence of the people
and gave him an overwhelming patron
age. The Doctor brought the highest tes
timonials of his personal good name and
medical standing at his birth-place anil
borne. Ho also bus unsullied reports
from every point of his extensive travel
und medical work. His course in (savan
nah has been in emtira ooutormity with
his reputation and previous career, and
we take pleasure in bearing this unquali
fied evidence to bis wondertul ability and
science ss a physician and surgeon itnti
his straightforward and correct dealings
as a man.
His agent and druggist remains in Sa
vannah, and the Doctor Will ship him tUe
first of next week some of his favorite
remedies. The Doctor sends these to bis
own druggist rather than to place them in
the local drug stores, knowing that they
otteu charge exorbitant prices and substi
tute their remedies for the one called for
and wanted by tho poor sufferers, simply
because they can, by so doing, make a
larger profit.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 29. ISB6.
FIVE STRAIGHT GAMES
WHICH WERE ALL DEFEATS
FOB THE HOME CLUB.
Savannah Downed Again by Nashville—
The Tennesseeans Heavy Batting and
O' Day's Wild Pitching Put the Game
In Nashville’s Hands—Augusta, Chst
txnooga, and Charleston the Other
Winners.
The home club suffered auother defeat
yesterday at the bands of the Nashvtlles.
The score was 7 to 4. This makes five suc
cessive games in which the Savannahs
have been beaten. Tne club now holds
third place in the league, having won
fifteen games and lost thirteen.
In spite of having been beaten six games
in the past two weeks, the Savannahs’
total score for the season is greater than
that of the clubs whicn they have played.
The Nashvilles are a hard club to win a
game from. They seem to have cot the
better of Savannah, and very lew people
who went to Ford’s Opera House yester
day to see the game reported in detail ex
pected tne home club to win.
O'Day pitched for Savannah, but his
work in the box was not up to what it
has been. While he struck out 7 men, he
gave 8 men bases on balls and made 8
wild pitches. He was batted for 11 single
base nits aud 4 doubble-baggers.
The Savannah’s got but four hits off
Dundon’s delivery. There were tome
changes in the team, Strief playing third
base, Collins second base, Moriarity right
field and Stockwell left field. The game
was lost through Nasnville’s heavy hit
ting and Savannah's inability to hit Dun
don.
Nashville,Tknn., May 23.—Nashville
defeated Savannah 7 to 4 to-day under
great disadvantages. Beard being unable
to play at all, and almost every member
of the club playing in uew positions.
Dundon struck out ten men and had but
four hits made off him. Helnian caught
his delivery for the first time, doing ad
mirably. O’Day struck out seven men,
and had eleven hits made off him. The

IN A SOLDIER’S HOME.
Some Interesting Characters in tho
Milwaukee Institution.
From the Chicago yewe.
Iu going through the home we met some
very interesting cases. Dr. Miller in
troduced us to M. Baptiste La
Pruire. M. Prairo received us gra
ciously. He was born the second year of
the Revolution. He was a lad of nine
years when our Federal Constitution was
adopted. He was in the prime of his
manhood during the war of 1812 and a
soldier of that period. He was a soldier
also in the Indinn wars. In the war with
Mexico M. Prairie was nearly 70. but he
was rugged, and fought lor the Stars and
Stripes. In 1801, though upwards ol 80,
lather La Pralre enlisted again.
Younger men, however, forbade him to
go, and the old hero is SHid to have shed
tears when told he had got too old to fight
for his country. He is now 109 years old,
and there was"a merry twinkle in Dr. Mil
ler’s eye, when he said: “Gentlemen,
this man is 109 years old, but I allow him
sixounces of whisky a day aud two ra
tions of tobacco.” Old Father La I’raire
likes whisky and tobacco, and Dr. Miller
is just the man who proposes to see that
he gets it. Before he came to the homo
these habits caused him to be shunned
and neglected by people who saw only an
uninteresting old man. In this soldiers’
home, however, they sec his years of ser
vice and of sacrifice. They see his deeds
ot valor; they see bis years of enduranoe.
Here they make him an honored guest.
Another Interesting case is that of the
Rev. Oliver D. Gibbons. He is only 79
years old. He is a much younger and
Very different man from Father LaPraire.
He has no bad habits. Hois a weil-pie
served, well-inlormed, proud old man.
He was was Chaplain of tbe Sixty-fourth
New York Volunteers during the war.
Soon after the war be went to W yandotte,
Mich., to live with a daughter. Losing
his home with her, and being destitute of
means, he came here. As we asked his
full name he said. “Oliver D.Gibbons,” and
he repeated Oliver with emphasis. Then,
in explanation, he said: “My family is
descended from Cromwell, and that is why
my name is Oliver.” Wc asked if he
found here a good home. “Yes,” said he,
“it is a good home for me.” Inasmuch as
he emphasized “me,” we asked if it was
not a good home for all. “Yes.” he said,
“but some of them are dissatisfied. They
would be,” said he, “if they were iu
heaven,” Then he stopped for a moment,
and, as if fearing we would misunderstand
him, he explained. Said he: “These men
are warriois. They like war, and next to
war they like now and then a little row.
They like to give the authorities a piece
of their mind occasionally. This satisfies
their love of warand sharpens their ap
petites and does no one any harm. All in
all.” said the old chieftain, “we have a
royal good home.”
Dr. Miller pointed out an old Major who
once had a fortune of over SIOO,OOO. He
lost it. however, ond with it his iriends.
Now the old hero has only left the proud
record of a brave soldier. His wealth and
friends are gone, and he seeks the home
as a place to live during his remaining
years, and a place iu which at last to die.
A FAMOUS Or,D HOUSE.
Occupied as British Headquarters
and by Irving aud Cooper.
At the foot of W ebster avenue, iiavens
wood. Long Island City, says the New
York Mail and F.xpress, stands an ancient
Dutch manor house, the property of Dr.
Woodhull ot Brooklyn. Toe house was
built in 1669, five years after the retire
ment of Peter Sfuvvesant, the last Dutch
Governor of the Province of New York.
During ibe Revolutionary war this house
was one of the outposts of the British ar
my of occupancy under Sir Henry Clinton,
aud was occupied as headquarters by
Lord Uawdon, afterwards the Marquis of
Hastings, in the yard are the remains of
an old block house, built tor protection
from tbe Indians and antedating the old
house by years, in this house Washing
ton Irving wrote his “Knickerbocker’s
History of New York.” Later Fenimoro
Cooper visited the place, and while there
wrote “The Water Witch.” The scene of
the celebrated chase of the Water Witch
by the British gunboat was laid in the
Kastriver. The old house is characteris
tically Dutch, with low ceilings and
nothingof the imposing aspect which is
noticeable among mansions that were
built in tiie Colonial period. Comfort, not
style, appears to have been the object of
tne builder. The stones of the wall have
darkened with age. ar.d- the brick work
and many of the < :ik beams begin to show
signs oi decay. On the heavy iron front
door is the crow’s foot cut by the British
on all property confiscated from tbe
rebels. This door is as old as the house
itself, and so is tho great heavy iron
knocker, which has thumped more than
once under the hand of Peter Ntuyvesant.
Sir Henry Clinton, Irving, Conner and a
host of others long ago in their craves.
The door is the property of the Long Island
Historical Society, which also owns the
fireplace, a veritable curiosity. The im
mense chimney leading therefrom is al
most large enough for a person to drive a
team of horses through. Across tbo fire
place is still stretched a long Iron pole,
suspended from which are iron rings, used
(or holding pots and kettles, and roasting
meat. To those who love thenntique, this
old moss-covered house (tho old s’any.
where in the vicinity of New Yoiklis
well worth a visit The original proprie
tor was John Manning, a inend of Gov.
stuyvesant. The Blackwells, who were
the owners of Blackwell’s island, came
into possession of the property through
intermarriage or descent. One Col.
Blackwell sewed in the Amerie.ni army
during ’he Revolution. From him tne
property vvhs taken by the crown. Col.
Gibbs obtained the property from the
Blackwell's, aj:d Geo. Hughes was the
next owtier.ard tbo VVoodbulis succeeded.
Until within live years, the h'dise has al
ways remained a private residence. It is
now rented and ki pt as a public bouse.
