The Morning News presents this morn
ing the list of the High School graduates,
the names of the honor pupils and the pro
gramme for the graduation exercises
which will take place at the Theater to
morrow- night.
The list of the graduates is a lengthy
one. there being 56 in all, this being one
of the largest classes ever graduated from
the’lllgh School. Miss Florence Schaeffer,
the.Uttie daughter of i•;< v. W. C. Schaeffet
P.D., carries off the lirst honor and will
deliver the valedictory to her sc bool mates.
The second honor, with the valedictory
to the school authorities, goe-s to Master
Carl Stern, while the third honor, which
carries with. it the salutatory, belongs to
Master Harry Trucheled. The response is
behalf of the Second grade will be made
by Miss Caroline Miller.
The other honor pupils, those who at
tained readers’ places, are Minna Wil
kins, Mary Thomas, Nellie Mulligan,
Katie Dillon, Harold Prager, Estelle Gut
man. Emma Truslow, May Woodberry
and Ralph Meldrim. The honors do not
depend upon any fixed percentage, being
given to those who obtain the highest
average on .all studies in the order of per
centage obtained. Thus graduates who ob
tained high percentages missed the credit
of being on the honor roll in some in
etances by only a few one-hundredths of
one per cent. The honors are given as
an Incentive to the pupils to seek to
obtain a high percentage in their studies
and this year, as usual, the percentages
of the honor graduates are very credit
able.
The members of the graduating class
concluded their final xaminations yester
day. Superintendent Ashmore, Principal
Train and Prots. Gannon, Wilson and
Parks worked until after midnight last
night reviewing the examination papers,
obtaining the percentages, determining
the honor graduates and arranging the
programme for to-inorrow night. This
was necessary in order ihat the pro
gramme might be placed in the hands of
the printer to-day and the programme, of
course, could not lie made up until every
thing else had be n worked out.

The programme, which is of the usual
order, is somewhat lengthy, but the
triends of the graduates will no in ni
this. A feature of this year's exercises
will be the omission of flowers. This was
decided upon by the faculty at the re
quest of the young ladies of the graduat
ing class. Though some of the more fa
vored of these knew ihat they w* re cis
aured of abundant floral tokens thev were
willing to forego this pleasure in order to
relieve others, who perhaps might be less
fortunate, from any sense of embarrass
ment on this score. This having been de
cided upon the* Morning News is requested
to announce that no floral favors will be
received at the Theater for members of
the graduating class.
The doors of the theater will be open
to the general public at 8:15 o’clock, and
the exercise s will begin promptly at 8.30
o’clock. The following is the programme

GHADIATES OF ST. VINCENT’S
( lass of 11KK) Will Receive Diploma#
niul Award# To-do y.
The graduating exercises of the Class of
1900 of St. Vincent’s Academy will be held
at the Theater this evening, bginn ng at
6 o’clock. The “sweet girl graduates,”
robed in the white draperies of youth and
innocence, will be crowned then with the
laurel that symbolizes the succssful com
pletion of their academic career.
There has been diligent preparation at
the convent for many weeks. KVen amid
the worry of examinations aid the excite
ment of competitive effort for the medals
and honors that are to be bestowed, the
young women of the graduating class have
given time and attention to those features
of the commencement exercises that are
purely ornamental, intended for the pleas
ure and entertainment of the friends of
the institution and themselves, who will
ihrong the Theater to-day, aid the pro
gramme, as completed, promises a fund
of enjoyment.
The valedictory to classmates and fac
ulty will be delivered by Miss Annie Hous
ton, while the salutatory, the greeting of
the class of 1900 to those who attend the
exercises, will be read by Miss Helen Ly
ons. The prizes offered by the academy
are very many, and these will be present
ed to the successful contestants •by Rt.
Rev. Benjamin J. Kelley, Bishop of Sa
vannah. It is possible also that Dr.
Keiley will make some brief address to
the members of the class.
As is customary the musical programme
will be extensive, the Sisters devoting al
ways much attention to this branch of
ihe school work and their pupils attain
irg, with the same regularity., a com
mendable d*gree of finish and skill in exe
cution. The Mandolin Club of the acudemy
will play several selections during the ex
-4 roises. The orchestra will be under the
direction of Mr. John Wh gand and there
will be orches'ral accompaniments for
most of the musical numbers on the pro
gramme and for the Delsarte exercises,
posturings and tableaux that will be
among its f< atures.
Some of the prize-winners have not yet
been announced, so that the bestowal of
these cmolems of success will be a pleas
.int surprise for those who are 10 receive
them Those prize-winners whose names
have made public by the faculty
have bren announced from time to time
in the Morning News.
While the exercises are primarily those
of the graduating class, its members will
not be the only pupils of the academy
who will participate. The girls of the
senior class- s will assist in the choruses
and tableaux. For one of the numbers
there will be a descriptive ballard. the
words of the singer bring illustrated by
the gestures of t.he other members of the
class.
It is rather expected that a number of
visitihg 'Catholic clergy will attend the
exercises! Should they do so their pres
(nee w ill be a source of encouragement
and inspiration to ihose who will partic
ipate, and their interest, thus manifest
ed, of congratulation to the Sisters of
Mercy, by whom the academy is con
ducted.
The scholastic year that comes to an end
to-day' has been one of the most success
ful in the history of the academy. The
enrollment has been larger than it has
b en for a number of years and the dili
gence and aptness displayed by the pupils
of every grade and the progress and ad
vancement they have made have been
most encouraging to the faculty.

The convention to name a Democratic
candidate for the First Congressional dis
trict will he held at Statesboro to-day.
The Chatham delegation, accompanied by
Congressman Lester and his secretary, W.
W. Sheppard, Esq., will take the 8:25 train
on the Georgia and Alagama Railroad
this morning, which will place them in
Statesboro at 10:45 o’clock.
The -delegation consists of Col. J. H.
Estill, Mr. P. A. Stovall, Mr. T. P. Rav
enel, Mr. S. Herman, Mr. F. C. Ba t?y,
and Mr. Gordon Saussy. The convention
will probably be called together nt noon at
the Court House nt Statesboro. All the
real business before the convention can
be transacted inside half an hour, but ns
the convention will practically have the
day before it the members will doubtless
take their time.
Col. Lester will be called upon, of course,
to address the convention after the nomi
nation has been made. He will have am
ple subjects from which to choose, among
the number the recent Republican Con
vention and its very vulnerable platform,
the extravagant record of the last Con
gress, and the imperialistic tendencies of
the present administration. it is possi
ble that Co]. Les<ter may take occasion to
explain his vote upon the Nicaraguan ca
nal bill, though this matter is prooab y of
more interest to the business men of Sa
vannah than to the people of the district
at large. As stated by the Morning News
in its first interview with Col. Lester aft
er his return home, the Savannah con-*
gressman voted against the “isthmian ca
nal" bill, not because he is opposed to the
construction of the canal, hut because he
is opi>osod to the manner in which the bill
proposes to go about this imiK>rtant work.
“The Nicaraguan, or some other isth
mian canal, will doubtless be built,” said
Col. Lester yesterday to a Morning News
reporter. “In ail probability a bid for this
purpose will be passed at the session of
Congress this winter, but it wi 1 not lie
the bill recently passed by the House.”
“What.are your objections to the bill
as it now stands?” Col. Lester was asked.
“There are a number of objections,”
he replied. “In the first place the bill
locates the canal through the states of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua before any
agreement has been reached 1 with these
count ties, the President being required to
negotiate with them as to terms upon
which they are to permit the canal to be
built. Reasonable business judgment
would require that the terms be agreed
upon before the location is made, as
otherwise those two countries will have it
in their power to exact any terms they
please.
Another ground for objection is that
it is not known yet which will he the
most practicable route for the canal. For
the purpose of determining this a commis
sion. known as the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. is now ot. work ascertaining the
best location. About 800 people are in
the employ of the commission. An appro
priation of $1,000,000 was made by the last
Congress for the purpose of investigating
the several routes, a provision of the act
authorizing the President to make full
and complete investigation of any and all
practicable routes acioss the Isthmus of
and particularly to investigate
the two routes known as the Nicaragua
and the Panama routes, with a view’ of
determining the most practicable route.
The commission has not yet made its re
port, bill will do so some time this year.
“Another objection to the bill in its pres
ent shape is that it does not meet the
obstacles interposed by the ('iayton-Bul
wer treaty between the United States and
Great Britain. These obstacles can
doubtless be overcome in some way.
“Every member of Congress is in favor
of building the Isthmian canal,” said Col.
Lester, “and a bill for the construction of
such a canal will doubtless pass both
branches of Congress at the next session.
The House bill referred to carries an ap
propriation of $10,000,000. and in addition
authorizes the expenditure of $140,000,000
more, besides committing the government
to all other charges w’hlch may be in
curred, such as claim* by Nicaragua and
Costa Rica and by citizens of those coun
tries for land taken and property dam
aged and also for the compensation of
parties who have already undertaken to
build canals, should any of their routes be
adopted.”
The opposition to the bill Included some
of the leading Republicans of the Hou# ■
besides anumberof Democrats, among the
former being Burton of Ohio and Duiliver
of lowa.
An interesting question which cameupin
the conversation with Col. Lester was as
to the possible increase in congressional
representation as the result of tt.e census
which is now being taken.
"I hope there will be no increase in rep
resentation," said Col. lister. "We have
356 representatives in the House now ani
it is entirely too many for the proi>er
transaction of business. The conditions are
bad enough now without making them any
worse.”
At the session of Congress following the
last census Col. Lester introduced a bill
materially reducing the number of repre
sentatives by increasing the proportion of
population to districts. It was a 1111
which Col. Lester thought would meet
with favor from the thinking members,
but it received just four votes.
The last census gave Georgia a popula
tion of 1,837,353. The state has eleven
congressmen, which should give a imputa
tion of about 167,0tX1 to the district. The
increase in population, according to the
census of 1890, was 295,173, and ihe present
census Is naturally expected lo show a
still greater increase, placing Ihe state's
population considerably over 2.000.0 W. With
no change in the basis of representation,
Georgia should easily gel one more con
gressman, at least.

M. Wilensky was held by United Slates

The facts in the case are well knawn

SPECIAL FOR THE REUNION.
Savannah Will Haie One if Attend- ,
uucc From Here Warrnnt#.
A meeting of the Confederate Veterans’ i
Association, to consider the matter of the i
reunion of the South Georgia Brigade, to
be held at Waycross on July 4, was held !
at Confederate Hall last night. Presi- I
dent Robert Falligant presided.
Those present were polled for the pur- |
pose of ascertaining how many of them ;
would attend the reunion, and about fif
teen signified their intention of going to
Waycross. There are others in the asso
ciation who are known to have decided to
attend the brigade* reunion, and others
who have not yet ascertained if it will be
possible for them to do so. but who will
go if they can. With the delegation from
AlcLaws’ Camp theie is every indication
that Savannah will be largely represented.
Messrs. John S. Haines and James C.
Cornell were appointed a committee to
canvass the members of the association
and urge their attendance upon the re
union.
It was reported that a special train
would be offered by the Plant System,
in case the attendance from Savannah
warranted it. With the members of the
two camps and their families, the citi
zens of Savannah who will attend to
watch the gathering of the veterans,
tnosee who will come from points north
and west of the city and take the train at
this point and the military escort the as
sociation hopes to have, it is believed,
that there will be enough passengers to
warrant a special train. Should there not
be, however, special* cars will be at
tached to the regular train for the use
of the veterans and their familiees. Col.
M. P. Usina was appointed a committee
of one to look after transportation.
As to the escort there is still some
doubt. The Savannah Cadets have made a
provisional tender of their services and
will go if a sufficient number of the com
pany decide to make the trip. Gen. Me-
Glashan w r as authorized to communicate
with Capt. West, commanding the Cadets,
on the subject and to accept the esecort
if it is ultimately and positively offered.
President Falligani nanjed the following
delegates from the association to the re
union: James Leonard, J. W. Mclntyre,
J. F. Kollo<-k, George Turner, M. P.
Usina, J. P. White, T. N. Theus, M. C.
Kollock, John Knox and James C. Cornell.
Gen. McGlashan announced that Miss
Elizabeth V’. Me Laws had been appointed
sponsor for the brigade at the reunion,
and Miss Virgie .McLaws, her first maid
of honor. The association elected Miss M.
13. McGlashan as its sjjonsor, with Miss
liuldu McGlashan as naid of honor.
The veterans indulged in some good-na
tured chaff w ith each other os to the fear
ful drought that is said to prevail in Way
cross, even in the rainy season. Some anx
iety was exhibited by the members lest
the Waycross authorities should resent
the introduction into their town of any
thing designed to cure the thirst born of
much marching on a hot summer's day,
and the Refreshment Committee was in
structed to deal as gently with the natural
prejudices of the Waycrossites as a due
regard for the comfort of those from Sa
vannah would admit. It was suggested
that Waycross might follow the example
of another Georgia city and suspend some
of her ordinances that would otherwise
interfere with its visitors’ enjoyment of
the occasion.
President Falligant announced that he
had received from the officers of the Sj
vananh Volunteer Guards a formal tender
f the services of the battalion as escort
to the association at the next reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans, to be
held next year in Memphis. The Guards,
said the president, would attend in gray
uniforms. The statement was received
with applause and the escort was accep’ed
by an enthusiastic vote. The gray uni
forms pleased the veterans and G c n. M •-
Ghashan voiced the general opinion whe.i
hc> sai that “no organization could or
would have a more gallant and splendid
escort.”
The association received from Mr. Vic
tor G. Schreck a photograph of the cere
monies at Laurel Grove on last Memorial
Day. The photograph is a most faithful
and admirable one and an excellent speci
men of the photographer’s art. The sec
retary was instructed to transmit the
thanks of the association to Mr. Schreck.
The picture will be hung with others up
on the wall of the hall.
TECH BOVS GRADUATE.

lard Sullivan, although an undergraduate,
lias received an offer of an excellent po
sition in a mill in Pittsburg, Pa., which
he has accepted. The students of the
Tech, seem particularly fortunate in
securing good places even before they
graduate.

Court, Mr. R. L. Folding, who represent
ed Sabro. moved the court to direct a ver
dict of not guilty, and Judge Falligant
sustained the motion and directed the
verdict.
The hearing of the case was not with
out its interesting features, nor, indeed,
without its pathos. It developed to the
fullest extent the strange and unreason
ing infatuation that possessed Sabro, of
which the boy he was charged with hav
ing attempted to abduct, Preston Everett,
wus the object. It revealed the fact that
the man is mentally or morally wanting,
and excited the sympathy of the court
spectators, rather than their indignation.
The opinion was freely expressed that
the insane asylum would better suit Sabro
as an abiding place than the penitentiary,
and that his incarceration in the former
institution would better answer the dic
tates of good sense and the demands of
Justice.
John R. Everett, the father of the boy
whose abduction Sabro, or Fashsvell, or
Parsons, as he variously known, is
charged with having attempted, was the
first witness placed upon the stand by,
the state. In answer to the questions
propounded to him by Mr. Thomas L.
Hill, who conducted the prosecution, Mr.
Kverett told what he knew about Sa
bro's efforts to get the bov away from
his heme and from under the protecting
influence ot his family. But the evidence
of (ho witness was made up more of
charges and statements of his opinion as
to what he conceived to be Sabro's inten
tions, than of bald facts known to him
personally.
Preston followed his father on the stand
and tcld the eld, old sto y all over again.
It has been printed so often that its
repetition is unprofitable and would cer
tainly be tiresome. The several attempts
made by Sabro to get word with the boy.
his own fear and aversion for the man
and the circumstances of the night when
Sabro made the alleged attempt to kid
nap him were entered into and described
at length. According to Preston’s evi
dence nothing That had been said to him
by Sabro, when they met in Madison
square, on the Sunday evening when the
crime is said to have been attempted,
could justify more than a faint suspicion
that it was the man’s intention to carry
him away* against his will.
According lo Preston what Sabro did
say was to tell him he w*as going away,
to which he added a request to be al
lowed to send the boy money*, as he
claimed to have been in the habit of do
ing. Before there was an opportunity for
more extended conversation young Sauls
had jumped the sword swallower and the
fight was in progress.
Several of the lerteres written by Sabro
to the boy* were offered in evidence. They
were of the most weakly sentimental
description, abounding in professions of
attachment and maudlin terms of en
dearment. They were sufficient to convict
any man of being a fool, but scarcely* of
the crime of attempted abduction. While,
of course, it may- have been Sabro's in
tention to attempt the forcible abduction
of young Everett, there was nothing in
the letters or in the other evidence suffi
cient to satisfy the minds of the jury of
the guilt of the accused beyond a rea
sonable doubt. "On the contrary,” said
Judge Falligant, "the evidence is not suf
ficient to do more than raise a bare sus
picion of the defendant's guilt of the
crime for which he has been indicted."
When the state's evidence was in, Mr.
Folding moved the court to direct a ver
dict of not guilty. In support of his mo
tion Mr. Folding briefly out ined the evi
dence in the case, pointing out that none
had been submitted that could do more
than raise a suspicion of Sabro’s guilt.
There was nothing in the man’s conduct,
Mr. Colding argued, that contradicted his
statement in his note to Preston, that he
was going away* and only wanted to tell
the boy goodby. Such a desire was in
entire accord with the affection that Sa
bro's every action in connection with
Preston evinced.
Judge Falligant took the same view of
the matter and in a few words, expressive
of his agreement with the legal correct
ness of the contentions of coun:*el for the
defendant, directed the Jury to return the
verdict of "not guilty.” The verdict was
prepared and signed by Foreman Richard
W. Adams and Sabro was given his liber
ty. t
it did not endure for any great length
of time. Scarcely had the discharged de
fendant left the court room, when he
was arrested on a warrant sworn out by-
Mr. Everett in the court of Magistrate
Kline, in which he was charged with the
theft of the theatrical costume and ptop
erties that Preston had used when the
vaudeville troupe of which he and Sabro
were members was on the road.
The crowd that had listened to the
hearing in the Superior Court room fol
lowed the officer who made the new arrest
and his prisoner to the office of Magistrate
Kline, on Drayion street. The crowd
thronged and overflowed the premises, so
that the prisoner and counsel for both
sides were admitted to Magistrate Kline's
private office, where the hearing was had.
Sabro said that the costumes had been
left by the boy in ihe express office at
Rome, and Ihat he had never had them
in his possession since.
It was apparent, ns Mr. Colding pointed
out, that even if the man was guilty of
ihe crime of larceny, the courts of this
couny had no jurisdiction, and the war
rant was dismissed.
In the meantime the elder Ev. rett and
the crowd still packed the outer office,
and it became a matter of some perplexity
as to how Sabro was to be gol out ot the
way, thus avoiding another warrant or
another row. in this dilemma counsel
came to the assistance of the court and
the ex-defendant. In loud and strident
tones Messrs. Colding and Hill argued an
imaginary case, lashing each other with
whips of sarcastic lnvecive. Under cover
of the tumult thus created, Sabro was
spirited out through a window and escort
ed by Deputy Sheriff Higgins to the Plant
System depot, where he took a train for
Brunswick.
When Mr. Everett at length made his
way into the office of the magistrate, the
bird had flown. To pacify him he was
told that the hearing was to be resumed
at 4 o'clock in the afternon. but it wasn't
