COMMENCEMENT.
The Savannah Theatre Filled by a
Brilliant Audience The Exercises of
the Evening-Awarding the Honors
* Military Drill That Astonished
the Spectators The Close of a Re
markably Successful School Year.
The Savannah Theater never held a more
brilliant audience than assembled last night
to witness the commencement exorcises of
St Vincent de Paul Academy. Before the
curtain rose the seats were filled and the
aisles were crowded by those' more willing
to bear the fatigue of standing than miss
the exercises. In the reserved seats in
the balcony were the pupils of the lower
classes of the school, and the remaining por
tion was occupied by those w ho could not find
room below. Even the “owis roost held
its accustomed patrons, who were loud in
their praise of the fair graduates.
When the curtain nw Miss Annie E.
Goette appeared on the stage and delivered
the salutatory, a neat and pretty address, to
those whose interest in the graduates
brought thorn then* to witness the com
mencement It was followed by a chorus
from "Sicilian Vespers." which was given

At this point the stage was cleared and
the waiter drill and march began. Seven
teen young and pretty girls, clad in scarlet
skirts and white jackets, trimmed with red.
with pretty Zouave caps set jauntily on
their heads, filed out nnd t**gan their drill.
In their hands they carried hammered brass
waiters instead "f muskets, all save the
Captain, who wore a real sword. The com
pany was in command of Miss Annie
K Goette. Miss Bel Dangaix acted as Or
derly Sergeant, They marched according
to Upton’s tactics, but introduced some of
the prettiest manoeuvres of zouave drill.
There was no little surprise expressed at the
excellence and accuracy of the marching,
and, indeed, it would have done credit to
the crack military companies of Savannah.
The manual of arms would be ltanl to
describe. Some of the commands
were novel and striking. “Caress arms"
■was one of them, and the anus of the
young ladies were tenderly folded
over the waiters. "Forest Citv arms'* wns
another, and the gallant soldiers loaded
their waiters with kisses and fin'd them at
the audience. At the word “Fire!" every
waiter fell to the floor with a noise that
would have put a brigade of cavalry to rout.
The company was called out a second time,
and then the zouave drill was given. When
they had left the stage they remained off
for a few minutes, and a
third time they were ordered out
and drawn up in line. At the command
“Good night, arms," they turned the backs
of the waiters to the audience and upon
each waiter was a large red letter, making
the words, “T-11-A-N-K-S. O-O-O-D
S-Ml-H-T.” This was received with up
roarious applause amid which the company
beat a retreat.
The academic honors were then dis
tributed by Father MeConville.

ment, and full of bright gems. Miss Bet

der address.
The "Graduates' Farewell" was then sung
by Missies Grady and Golinsky, Jr., and
when it was concluded the curtain was rung
down on the first act of seven young ladies’
lives.
The commencement was not only delight
ful In itself, but it s|mko volumes for the
school from which the young ladies had
come. The addresses themselves, as well as
the manner in which they were delivered
and the musical efforts, bespoke a thorough
ness and care in training that deserves the
highest praise, and the good Sisters under
whose gentle guardianship these young
ladies have been educated deserve the high
est commendation for their 0X1*611601 and
faithful work.
THE ARTESIAN WELLS.
Well No. lO Flowing 050 Gallons of
Water a Minute.
Work on the new artesian wells at the
water works is progressing as rapidly as it
very well can. Supt. Miller hopes by the
time the new “pump ends" which have boon
ordered arrive to liave a sufficient artesian
water supply to furnish the city without
pumping any river "liter. At present the
proportion of artesian water is about fit! j>er
i*ent.
Well No. 10. the last well finished, is
flowing a ti-ineh stream from a depth of
Atiifeet, tile lowest depth of any well in
the chain. This is the strongest flow yet
obtained. The water rises t<> a height of
?i£ inches above the ton of the pipe, and is
flowing at the rate of 650 gallons a minute.
The well is in the east mid west chain,
about 100 feet enst of well No. 9. Supt.
Miller is sat isfied that he has struck a larger
vein of water than there is m the north anil
south chain, and lie is confident that No. 11
and 12 wells, in the same chain, and
which are yet incomplete, will
have equally as strong a flow as No. 10. No.
11 is down something over 200 feet and the
drill is now working in a hard rock. No.
12 is a four inch well and has just lieen lie
gun.
if the flow front the two unfinished wells
is as strong ns that from the new six-inch
well, Supt. Miller is satisfied that he will
have a sufficient supply to give 0.500,000
gallons a day.
At present the artesian wells connected
with tin works are flowing alxnit 3.(HX> gal
lons a minute. In order to furnish an arie
quto supply for the city they must flow con
siderably over t.(M' gallons.
Superintendent Miller does not think that
the building of a reservoir will be necessary
to get rid of the gas in the pipes. When
the system is completed, and all the wells
ore connected with the works, valves will be
placed upon the top of the pip***. so that the
gas can be allowed to escape without passing
into the pumps.
O. S. S. COMPANY'S NEW PIER.
To Be Ready for Use by Aug. 15, and
to be Completed by Sept. 20.
The Ocean Steamship Company's new
pier in New York is licing pushed forward
as rapidly as it can be. The work was lie
gun in April, and it is expected that a part
of the pier will lie ready for use by Aug. 15.
The entire pier and the company’s office
building will he finished, according to con
tract. by Sent. 20. It is lie mg built on the
site of the old pier, under the supervision of
the New York lKx*k Department and will
cost about. ? 1 :i'i, l * 10.
The pier is GOO feet long. A part of it
is now nearly ready for the iron
superstructure. 11l frout of the pier is the
company’s office building, a handsome and
commodious tw o-story iron structure. Run
ning through the centre of the building is a
double driveway to anti from th** pier and a
truck way. (hi the south side of the drive
way are the clerks’ offices, express office,
etc., and on the nprth side is the stairway
leading to the second floor, where the agent's
office, the superintending engineer's office,
the jmssage department, waiting rooms and
the main offices tor the management of the
company's busi" ss are locat'd. General
Manager Sorrel has just returned from New
York, where he has been the past month
in the company's interests, and before leav
ing he cloned the contract for the coni
nletion of the work. Tit- new pier will

"Competition is the life of trade," says an
old saw, and in this age of rapid progress
the truth of the old adage has been proved
time and again. But though competition is
thereby a boon, it is by no means an un
mixed blessing because of it. The merchant
whose life is naturally one of peace, whose
cares ought to end when he turns the key in
his store door is forced to pass many a
sleepless night and spend many an hour
worrying over the advances his rival is
making, while if it were not for competition
he could quietly pocket his hundred or
two per cent., and put his little nickel in
the missionary box without begrudging the
gift.
Competition, like love, levels all ranks
and in the warfare that it inspires railroad
corporations and rag pickers, cotton asso
ciations. and the manufacturers of the latest
patent spiral wire bustles, participate.
There is one business, however, that has
hitherto been untroubled by the Kittles of
commercial warfare. The clarion note
of war has never before been heard
within its peaceful precincts, but that
peace has flown and now fierce, bitter and
protracted is the struggle that is going on
between the manufacturers of soda water,
sarsaparilla and ginger pop. Not in some
distant clime, untrod by the foot of lynx
eyed special correspondents or "our own
artist's", is this war raging, but here, with
in the limits of Savannah and under the eyes
of the blue-coated, gold-striped guardians' of
the peace, yet it excited not as much inter
est as would the news that another Irish
tenant had been evicted or another cat had
fallen down the Emperor William's chim
ney while he was devouring fried fish, but
for all that the war is leing bitterly waged.
It is more fierce and cruei in
its nature because of a race ques
tion that is involved therein.
There is a difference of blood, and for that
reason both sides are fighting with all their
micht and main.
The cause of this disturbance of the jx-ace
by the manufacturers of these nou
ihtoxicatmg drinks dates back some
weeks. 'An Irish firm was do
ing a large and profitable business.
Their customers were many, and were be
coming more and more numerous. They
added one or two German saloon keepers to
their list, and gradually they were getting
a large* Gvm.im patronage. The German
manufacturers nt last realizixt that tivir
countrymen were deserting them ar.d seek
ing the side of down-trodden Ireland, so
they put their heads together to see what
could be done. Finally it was determined
that they must visit the deserters and appeal
to them on the sc *re of national pride,
and national prejudice and try and win them
back. It was also resolved that if such ar
guments were of no avail they would resort
to one that they were sure would be infalli
ble, viz: a drop in the price. They entered
the saloon of a prominent deserter, and as
they approached the dispenser of liquid joy
they said:
"Yell, how you vasf 1
“Oh. purtv goot.”
“How's heesne&c"
“I don't can gomplain."
“You sell of dot sody vaster much now!"
“Oh. yas."
"Yy you don't vas pying so much as you
vas."
“Oh. I pv mit dem oter fellers now."
“Vat: pv mit dem Irish! Mine Got! in
himniol! You don’t mit dem Irish drade
ven dere is us vrom faterlandt here mit der
same beesness in "
"Oh, yas. I vas pleased mit dem Irish,
uri I gets good stuff mit dem."
“Den you don't dates some more vrom us
Chermans?"
“No, I dinks not."
“Whise’ Yot you pay dem!"
“Sevunty fife rends."
“I sell you dot goots for seexty-fife."
“Sent me seex dozen right away quick."
Thus this pendulum swung back to its
former position, but it was not destined to
remain there long, for next morning when
the Irish deliverer made his rounds and car
ried in the usual supply he was not a little
startle! to hear the old German -ay
“Git mit you <*ud ofdisgviek. I don't
want some of dot."
“Well, did you iver hear the loikes of
that.' What d** ye mane, ye durtv, ould,
fat son uv a beer liarrei!” exclaimed the in
dignant Irishman.
The German gave an explanation of his
change, whereupon the Irishman said:
“Weil, lx* the si wl of St. Patrick, did yez
iver. Docs ye be lie thinking I'll shtand by
and let the loiks av thim he taking me
bread out o'nie mouth loike that: Divil a
cint "dll they lx* making af their sodv
watlier fur these ux months comm, but oi'l
bate thim vet Oil sell yez thot same fur
fiftv cints.''
The pendulum made another vibration,
but he has got no cheaper soda since then,
for the Irishman wrack bed rock, and sola
has been lying at Vie. a box or 25c. a dozen
ever since, and the representative-, of each
nationality are m ving heaven and earth to
fix the recreant saloon keepers on one
side or another before returning to
oid prices, but it seems impossible

SOME PORT STATISTICS.
Vessels Arrived in Savannah During
the Month of June.
The News gives to-day the number of
vessels arriving at this port for the month
of June, with their rigs, nationality and ton
nage. The number does not include the ar
rivals at Tybee. but only the vessels which
have actually arrived at the wharves, and
have discharged and loaded, or are loading:

Attention is directed to the card of Kehoe’s
Iron AVorks, published elsewhere in this
issue. Messrs. AA'illiam Kehoe & Cos., pro
prietors of these very large works, make
every variety of castings, but pay especial
attention to the manufacture of the cele
brated “Kehoe Sugar Mills and Pans."
These mills and pans have grown steadily in
public favor, until thev have become recog
nized as the “standard." and the increased
demand each season testifies to their excel
lence and superiority. The pans j tossess
great smoothness and uniformity in thick
ness. and are very durable, and the mills
liaving heavy wrought iron shafts, made
extra Tong, and rollers of the best charcoal
pig iron, are capable of grinding the heaviest
cane. Those wanting satisfactory results
should test the Kehoe Mills and Pans.
