Of the many annual commencements
In the history of the Savannah High
School, none have been more pleasant or
were more successfully carried out than
that of the class of 1900. which took place
at the Theater last night.
As usual in these affaire, the public in
terest was very fully manifested by the
large attendance. The Theater was filled
to ite utmost capacity. Before the doors
were opened the crowds were (fathered
awaiting admission. The pupils of the
ochool. of the first and second grades, its
well as the graduating class, together with
their parents, had been provided with
cards of admission, which gave them the
right of entry ahead of the general public.
The doors were thrown open at 8:15
o’clock, and within ten "minutes every
available seat, both in the parquette and
balcony, was filled, and five minutes later,
even standing room was at a premium.
The gallery was the only portion of the
house not filled, though a good number
availed themselves of the seats there.
On the stage, even all the space not re
quired for the graduates and school au
thorities, was occupied by friends of the
School. ’ I
The expression, a sea of faces, was never
more fully justified than hy the sight from
the stage. It was a comparatively youth
ful audience, the two lower grades of the
echool occupying the front rows of seats
contributing to this effect. The female
sex predominated decidedly, and as the
Sadies, young and old, were mostly clad
Jn light and filmy summer garments, the
ieffect was a very pleasing one. Notwith
standing the discomfort from which many
must have suffered from being crowded
together on such a hot night, the best
of order was preserved, and the graduates
and other speakers received the most re
spectful attention throughout. An enter
prising clothing house had furnished a
liberal supply of palm leaf fans, which
contributed very materially to the com
fort of the audience. Leon’s Orchestra
furbished excellent music throughout, an.l
added greatly to the pleasure of the even
ing.
The fifty-six graduates were seated on
the stage in a semi-circle, the young la
dies occupied the front row with the
young gentlemen In the rear, the school
authorities occupying the center of the
Bemi-clrcle. It was a very attractive lot
of young ladies, which the audience had
the privilege of gazing upon, and in this
particular, as well as others, the class of
1900 does credit to the Institution.
Those seated in the semi-circle were Col.
George A. Mercer, president of the Board
of Education'; Commissioner Lee Roy
Myers, of the board; ®upt. Otis Ashmore,
Principal H. F. Train, and Prof. John M.
Gannon, of the High School, Rev. XV. C.
Schaeffer, D. D., and Mr. C. B. King of
Elizabeth College. North Carolina, and
Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall, who was to de
liver the commencement address.
At 8f&0 o’clock Supt. Ashmore called
upon Rev. Dr. Schaeffer to pronounce the
Invocation. Dr. Schaeffer returned thanks
for the blessings of education and civiliza
tion, and invoked the favor of the Al
mighty for the young graduates, that they
might lead useful and upright lives, re
flecting credit upon the institution and
proving of benefit to others as well ns to
Ihetnselves.
Master Harry Trucheiut, who had the
honor of delivering the salutatory, extend
ed a cordial and happily expressed wel
come to the friends of the school, and
begged their patient attention for the efs
forte of his classmates.
After an overture by the orchestra Miss
Katie Dillon presented an excellent argu
ment upon the subject of ’’Public vs. Pri
vate Schools," furnishing many good rea
sons In favor of the public school system,
which were very happily expressed.
“Conciliation vs. Coercion” was the title
of an essay to have been read by Miss
Kellie Mulligan. As Miss Mulligan was
unfortunately suffering from a sore throat
the paper was read at her request by Mas
ter Frederick Doyle, who made an excel
lent substitute. Master Doyle’s reception
by his schoolmates evidenced his popular
ity with them.
“The Importance of Trifles," showing
what great consequences have re
sulted from the study of apparently un
important things, was a subject discussed
In a very interesting manner by Miss
Emma Truslow.
There were two debative subjects on the
programme. The first of these was "Com
pulsory Education," which was discussed
by Master Harold Prager in the affirm
ative and Xltss Estelle Gutman m the nega
tive. Both the young contestants acquit
ted themselves with credit, Master Prager
pointing to the great results achieved by
Germany with her system of universal
education and contending that the adoption
of a similar system in this country would
prove very beneficial in uplifting the mass
es, and especially in raising the average
of intelligence among the voters.
Miss Gutman maintained the negative
position with much spirit, and offered
numerous objections to the compulsory
system, the main objection. 1 icing that it
was not in keeping with the American idea
of liberty. Many children receive no ben
efit from the schools anyway, site con
tended, and their parents are the best
judges a* to whether or not they should
be kept at home. Again it would be a
great hardship upon many poor parents,
especially mothers, to deprive them of
the services of their children. The paper
was well rendered, and the applause show
ed that the audience thought Miss Gul
den had the better of the argument.
’’A Plea For the Squares," by Miss
Minna Wilkins, met with a responsive
sentiment on the patt of the audience. The
Importance of this fcatme of tlie city’s
plan and its increasing value with the in
creasing growth of population, was intelli
gently stressed.
“It Might Have Been,” by Miss Mary
Thomas, was one of the brightest papers
of the evening. The many things that
"Might Have Been.’’ had Cromwell not
changed his mind about coming to Amer
ica. and remained lo fight King Chart s
instead; had it not rained on the night be
fore. the battle of Waterloo, and thus pre
vented the arrival of Napoleon’** nrllt
lery, and many other things, trivial in
their origin, but which changed the rour.-e
of the world's history, were aptly pre
sented.
The second debate was upon a burning
subject, ’’ls the Boer War Justifiable ’.’’’
The affirmative was taken by Master
Ralph Meldrim, end the negative by M sa
May Woodberry. Master Meldrim pre
sented an able, but somewhat lengthy ar
gument in which lie justified the dealings
of England with t>ie Boers and held that
*he had simply protected her own citizens
and defended her own territory after the

DR. FRANK T. LINCOLN DEAD.
Passed Away at the fiavannali Hos
pital Early Yesterday llorniug.
The news of the death of Dr. Frank T.
Lincoln at the Savannah Hospital was a
surprise and shock to his many friends
In Savannah. Dr Lincoln went to the hos
pital two weeks ago for treatment. He
was a very 111 men at the time and stead
ily grew worse until his death at 8
o’clock yesterday morning. The serious
ness of his condition was unknown, how
ever, except to a few intimate friends.
The immediate cause of death was heart
failure, following a severe attack of grip
last winter from which he had never re
covered.
The deceased had nearly completed his
4tth year. He was a native of Savannah,
and during his youth and young man
hood was one of the most popular young
men in the city. He possessed a remark
ably bright mind which enabled him to
make rapid progress in all Intellectual
studies, and besides possessed a splendid
physique, which easily made him a lead
er in athletic sports. Combining with these
an affable and Jovial disposition, he easi
ly became popular with all classes.
The deceased was a student at the acad
emy of the late Prof. Bogart, having as
classmates there several well known- Sa
vannahians, and later graduated at Trin
ity College. Hartford. Conn. He later ob
ta ned his diplomas as physician from the
medical department of the University of
Maryland. Returning to Savannah, h<f lo
cated here and easily built xip a large
practice Dr. Lincoln was regarded by
members of the medical fraternity as one
of the best posted men in the profession
The deceased leaves an aged father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. XV. XV. Lincoln, the
former being 87 and the latter 82 years of
age. He also leaves a brother. Rev. George
XV. Lincoln, an Episcopal minister, resid
ing at Brigantine Beach, N. J. The latter
left for Savannah at midnight last night,
the funeral having been deferred until
to-morrow morning to await his arrival.
Dr Lincoln had been for a number of
years a member of the Chatham Artillery,
which organization will pay the usual
military honors at his funeral. He was
surgeon of the battery for several years
with the rank of lieutenant, and was later
promoted by the Governor to staff sur
geon of the state troops with the rank of
major. Dr. Lincoln became an immune
to yellow fever during the epidemic of
1876, and during the Brunswick epidemic
of 1893, rendered good service at Jesup
as the agent of the Marine HcJSpital Ser
vice at that point.
Dr. Lincoln's remains will be taken to
the residence of Mr. H. G. Greene, No.
412 Habersham street, this morning, where
they will remain until the funeral which
will take place from Christ Church at 9:30
o’clock to-morrow morning.
FILLED OIL CAN XX ITH BENZINE.
A Porter’* Mistake Caused Blaze In
a Stationery House.
A blaze In the stationery and printing
house of M. S. & D. A. Byck resulted in
calling out the fire department at 10
o'clock yeeterday morning.
A small kerosene stove is used for heat
ing purposes in the stereotyping depart
ment. The keroeene being exhausted, an
employe was sent out with a ran to get
a fresh supply. The house from which
these supplies are usually purchased, hap
pened to be out of kerosene, and sent the
can over to another house In the same
line of business, with a request that it be
filled. One of the clerks there gave an
order to the porter to go down in the cel
lar and fill the can with kerosene. The
porter either misunderstood the order or
struck the wrong barrel. The result was
that the can was filled with benzine, a
rather more volatile and Inflammable sub
stance than kerosene.
XX'hen the can reached the printing es
tablishment it was turned over to Foreman
R. E. Johnson, who undertook to replen
ish the stove in the usual manner. The
result was an immediate explosion, which
scattered blazing benzine in all directions.
Things looked squally for a while, but
prompt work on the part of the employes
extinguished the blaze with very slight
damage. Someone turned in an alarm
from box No. 8, and the fire department
responded only to find that Its services
were not needed. The damage was so
small that the Messrs. Byck stated that
they would hardly make any demand upon
the insurance companies. Mr. Johnson
was slightly burned ahout Ihe hands, but
was not seriously hurt.
■WILL. DISCUSS THE, nErORT.
Board of Education Will Meet Thl
Afternoon.
The Board of Education will meet at 4
o'clock this afternoon for the purpose
of considering the report of Its committee
appointed to confer with a similar com
mittee from the trustees of the Chatham
Acedemy, and' to decide what further
steps, if any, 6hail be taken.
The report, which was published In yes
terday’s Morning News, and relates the
Inability of the Joint committee of the
two bodice to reach any agreement as to
a plan for rebuilding the Chatham Acad
emy, was widely read and excited gen
eral interest. It is now seven months
since the academy building was destroyed
by fire, and the public has been growing
more and more impatient for the last
three inomhs, because no visible steps
were taken for replacing the academy.
The report of the Committee of the Board
of Education assigns the reasons for this
remarkable dilatoriness, as viewed by the
members of that committee. The report
of the Trustees' Committee will doubtless
put the matter in a different light.
Capt. H. C. Cunningham, chairman of
the Building Committee of the Trustees,
was asked if he had any reply or com
ment to make upon the Education Com
mittee's report. He said that he did not
care to discuss the matter In any wise at
present. The report of the Trustees’ Com
mittee. when made, he said, will embody
the views of himself and his fellow mem
bers.
COLD MEDAL AS TROPHY*
Best Swimmer at Isle or Hope the
Fourth Will taet It.
Arrangements are being made for a big
time at Isle of Hope July 4, the announce
ment of which w ill appear later in the ad
vertising columns of the Morning News.
Besides the yacht races, an Interesting
programme of sports is being arranged, so
that ample entertainment may be expect
ed by those who decide to spend the Fourth
at this popular resort.
Commodore Reynolds of the Isle of Hope
Yacht C'iub will in a day or two receive
from Barbee & Bandy a handsome gold
medal to lie given to the best swimmer in
a contest to take place in the afternoon.
The medal is being made by Hunter &
Van Keuren, and will be placed on exhi
bition in their 6how windows as soon as
finished. The winner will hold it until the
next contest, when there will be another
match for it. The course over which the
swinjmers will go will be from the sum
mer home of Col. J. H. Eatlll to the pa
vilions at the railway station, nearly a
quarter of a mile. Several crack swim
mers will compete for the medal, and the
chances are the contest will be an interest
ing feature of the day's sports.

Recomnieudn I ion of the Jury
Lightened the Sentence.
In the case of William Schroeder, on
trial In the Superior Court yesterday for
l:\reeny from the house, the jury returned
a verdict of guilty of larceny of property
under the value of SSO, and recommended
the defendant to the mercy of the court.
Judge Falligant gave him his choice be
tween the payment of a line of SIOO and
coets or six months In the county jail.
Schroeder was charged with the theft
of 2,500 pounds of brass, of the value of
S3OO, one lot of tools, of the value of
SIOO, and one locomotive headlight of the
value of $25, from the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, by which corpora
tion he had been long employed at the
time of his arrest, Schroeder’s arrest re
called to the minds of many of his fellow
employes a very large number of suspi
cious circumstances, and it is firmly be
lieved by the officers of the company,
whose duty has led them to an investiga
tion of the theft, that the articles found
in Sbroeder’s possession made up but a
very small part of those he had obtained,
either through his own exertions or from
others who had come into wrongful cus
tody of the property of the raid.
Patrolman Godbold, of the city force,
was the principal witness against
Schroeder at the trial. Godbold stated that
at tlhe time of the arrest he had been de
tailed on siK'cial duty in the investigation
of a series of thefts of wire from the street
railway company. He learned by chance
that 'SJhroeder had a large quantity of
various kinds of junk stored in the yard
of his dwelling. The officer secured a
search, warrant and searched the prem
ises, finding concealed there the property,
the theft of which was charged against
Schroeder in the indictment. The brass
had been packed in barrejs as if for ship
ment. Most of the* brass could not be
recognized as belonging to any particular
individual or corporation, but some of it*
contained the marks of the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway. When ask
ed how the brass came into his possession
Schroeder told the witness he had bought
it from negroes, who brought it to his
home under cbver of darkness. The ar
rest of Ihe defendant had followed this
somewhat unsatisfactory explanation of
his possession of the property of the road.
Frank Anthony, mastrr mechanic of the
shops of the company at Savannah, testi
fied that the nature of Schroeder’s em
ployment with the road gave him ample
opportunity for the theft of old brasses,
and chat a habit of the defendant, in l
sending a wagon to the shops each day
for the purpose of getting a load of saw
dust. gave him equal opportunity to get
away with what he had stolen. Mr. An
thony had made an inspection of the brass
found on Schrocder’s premises and staled
that he could positively identify some part
of it as the property of the road. As it
had not been either sold or given away,
he knew it had been stolen.
F. W. Storer, stor ke per of the railway
company, gave evidence to the same ef
fect. Mr. Storer srated that all property
of the kind the defendant was charged
with having stolen passed through his
hands, and that no brass had been sold.
That part of the brass which could be
identified by the marks as the property
of the road had been stolen, said Mr. Stor
er, from the company’s shops. It could not
have been obtained in any other way.
Schroeder’s statement was the only evi
dence introduced on behalf of the de
fense. In the mest positive terms he de
nied every having stolen anything, pro
testing his perfect innocence of the crime
with which he is charged. He stated that
the brass and other property had been
bought by him from negroes. The defend
ant stated that for years he had been in
the habit of purchasing all sorts of second
hand articles and selling them at a profit.
The brasses and o’her property of the
railway company, if it had belonged to
the company, of which fact he disclaim
ed all knowledge, had come Into his pos
session by purchase, and not by iheft.
Solicitor General Osborne, in his argu
ment to ihe. jury, made many caustic al
lusions to the statement of the defendant,
contending that even according to the
showing that Schro der himself had made
he was guilty either of larceny from ihe
house or receiving stolen goods. It was
impossible for anyone to believe that
Schroeder, who had worked so long for
the road and must have been thoroughly
familiar with its marks, could have pur
chased brasses, bearing these marks, from
irresponsible negroes, without being
aware that the brass.s had been wrong
fully obiained.
The only real question at issue, said the
solicitor general, was whether or not
Schroeder had stolen at any one tim*
brasses or other articles of the value of
S3O. Under the law the larceny from the
house of goods of the value of SSO or more
is a felony, punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary, while the larceny of
goods of less value than SSO is a misde
meanor, punishable by fine or imprison
ment in jail or on the chain-gang.
Of this state of the law, Mr. R. L. Cold
ing, who represented the defendant, took
instant advantage. He contended in the
first place that it was far more reasonable
to believe that the defendant had bought
the property from others than that lie had
stolen it himself. Jf ihe jury believed this
they could not find him guilty, as he was
being tried for larceny and not for receiv
ing stolen goods. If the jury should be
lieve, on the other hand, that Schroeder
had been the thief, it must find that he
had never stolen at one time property of
the value of SSO. Vnder the valuation
placed upon brass in the indictment, about
ten cents a iound. the jury must find that
Schroeder had carried away at a single
attempt more than 400 pounds of bra>s in
order to find him guilty of a felony. That
he should have been able to do this*. Mr.
Colding argued, was scarcely capable of
belief.
The jury evidently felt the weight of
this argument, tor. after some deliberation
it found the defendant guilty of the lar
ceny of goods under the value of SSO,
and further recommended him to the
merev of the court. Why this latter rec
ommendation was added scarcely ap
pears, for, ns the solictor general argued,
under the defendant’s own statement, he
was either a thief or u receiver of stolen
goods.
It i® stated that Schroeder will pay the
fine of SIOO and the cosip of the prosecu
tion. If his business with the property
of the railroad and others is as extensive
as has been anil is charged he ought to
be able to pay the fine and cods without
any trouble or financial Inconvenience.
Without making any specific charge, or,
indeed, any charge at all. Mr. folding in
timated in his cross-examination of Patrol
man God bold that a very large proportion
of the brasses found in Schroeder** pos
session, bad disappeared from the polke
station, where they were placed for safe
keeping ofter the arrest. If the intimation
is founded in fact, and this is said to be
true. It affords a somewhat humorous
commentary upon the guardians of the
peace and property in Savannah.

THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW.
William Brown Found ’Two* a Mean
Thing to Irritate.
Joe Brown was tried and found guilty
of the offense of burglary in the Supe
rior Court yesterday, the jury recommend
ing that he be punished as for a misde
meanor, and further recommending him no
the mercy of the court. Judge Felligant
imposed a fine of SIOO and co6ts, with
the alternative of twelve months on the
county chaingang.
In connection with the trial of this case,
occurred a humorous incident, such a one
as sometimes relieves ihe judicial gravity
and decorum of the court, in which an in
dividual of the defendant’s name figured.
When court convened the case was set
for 1 o’clock, and William B. Brown, the
negro whose house had been entered, and
the prosecuting witness in the case, was
solemnly adjured to be present promptly
at the appointed hour. Brown gave, an
equally solemn promise that he would be
on hand.
At 1 o’clock Solicitor General Osborne
and Mr. Charles V. Hohenstein-, who rep
resented the defendant, struck the jury,
its members were sworn to try the case
and everything was in readiness to pro
ceed with the hearing, except that the
prosecuting witness did not appear. Offi
cers were sent out hastily In every direc
tion, but he could not be found. As his
presence was necessary Judge Falligant
directed a recess until 4 o’clock, and the
jury was relieved until that hour.
At 1:30 o’clock, as Judge Falligant wns
awaiting the agreement of a jury in an
other case. Brown stalked eolemnly into
the court room, followed by a bailiff.
Gravity was written deep upon his black
countenance, and if he had ever heard
even the fag end of a joke or ever ex
pected to pull through the slough of des
pond into which he seemed to be plunged,
he gave no outward and visible sign. He
was very, very sad.
"Come up here. Brown," said the solic
itor general, "and tell the judge what you
mean by not being in court when you were
told to be here."
The witness took a few reluctant steps
in the direction of the judge’s rostrum
and paused. He opened a cavernous
mouth and aider a few unsuccessful at
tempts to speak began;
"I’se here, jedge."
Judge Falligant looked the awful expo
nent of the outraged majesty of the law.
as he peered over his glasses at the cul
prit.
"Who gave you permission to leave the
court room. Brown?” he queried, in im
pressive accents.
"One of de officers told me I could go if
I come back at 1 o'clock, and " began
the witness, mildly, when the court again
interrupted.
"Well, it’s half past one now, and the
regular charge for oversights such as
yours is a dollar a minute. That would
be 830, but I’ll let you off with 85.”
"Oh. my God,” said Brown, in an awed
and trembling whisper, and was led away
into the sheriff’s office. Later Judge Fal
ligant relented, directing that Brown’s
fine be remitted. It is a safe ten-to-one
shot that in the future, when Brown is
a witness, he will not only be on hand
when he is summoned, but from half to
three-quarters of an hour before that
time.
PART OF A JOKE ON THE JOKER.
An Ile of Hope Young Xian's Fnn
XX'ith Negroes and Naphtha.
There was a flash of light along the
marshes opposite Isle of Hope Tuesday
night that alarmed many people, who
thought one of the naphtha launches that
run about on the river had exploded. It
developed, however, that it was only a
well-known young gentleman trying to
have some fun at the expense of a couple
of negro boys, which resulted in him
self, as well as the boys, having to Jump
overboard.
The young man pumped the debris out
of the tank of his naphtha launch, and
not wishing to throw it overboard near
the bluff, started to take it over to the
marsh and have a little fun.
The gasoline was put in a couple of
buckets and carried over In a boat, and
in going over the rocking upset some of it
in the bottom. This fact was unknown to
the gentleman, who threw over the con
tents of one bucket and struck a match
to set it on fire. Instead of "setting the
river on fire,” he started a fire in the
boat.
As the flames shot up the smaller of
the negro boys jumped overboard and the
other started for the bow, which caused
the burning fluid to settle that way. The
young man was much amused at the sit
uation, but as the flames got hot the man
in the bow plunged overboard, and then
the balance was the other way, and the
flames, following the bilge water, ran to
the stern, and the gentleman who had
been enjoying the sport had to jump into
the river himself to avoid the flames. A
boat from shore rescued the party, and
those who were watching what was
thought to have been a dreadful accident
were glad to find that it was only a prac
tical joke, in which the Joker had a lot
of fun and a good wetting, besides.

No. 183 was held last night for the pur
pose of discussing the proposed trip of
its members to the meeting of the Grand
Lodge which will be held July 10, 11 and 12
a: Atlantic City.
No definite action was taken, but a re
port was received from a number of the
members who have interested themselves
in securing as large and representative at
tendance as may be possible. These gen
tlemen think that at least twenty-five or
thirty will go from this city which, to
gether with a number of members who
will be in the vicinity of the meeting plae
at the time and who are expected to be
present, will enable the lodge to make a
very good showing, indeed. The propos
ed trip will be discussed again next Tues
day at a meeting which will be called for
that purpose.

Choir, under the direction of Mr. Frank
Keilbach. The lodge room has been taste
fully decorated. Refreshments will be
served during the evening. As all of
the members of the lodge are expected to

Mr. Ybanez had been in ill health for
a long time. His family and friends did
not look for his sudden death, however.
During Wednesday night he was thirsty,
got up, and going from his own to an ad
joining room cracked some ice. The ef
fort fatigued him and he called to his sis
ter, Mrs. Dunn, to come to him as he was
feeling badly. She hurried to his bedside
and he died in a short time from hem
orrhage resulting from a broken blood
vessel.
