6 THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. Continued from Tenth Fage. war had been brought on by (he Boers themselves. Mbs Wood berry took a sentimental rather than legal view of the question and held that the Boers had only sought to enjoy that Inalienable right to life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness to whk'h the people of this country so proudly lay claim. ' Is ui.trammeled civil and religious liberty too high u standard in this com mercial age?” she inquired. The English men in the Transvaal were no! there with the view of becoming citizens, she declar ed. "Five years’ residence may sometimes make a fortune without making a citi zen." she declared, referring to the un happy experience of the South with the carpetbaggers. "The principles of human liberty are involved,” she declared. “Let (he whole world pronounce the war un justifiable.” These sentiments were receiv ed with hearty applause. Master Meldrim also received very liberal applause. The valedictories were next on the pro gramme. That to the school authorities was delivered by Master Carl Stern. Master Stern Is small and quite youthful In appearance, hut what he lacks In size he maks up in wit. His valedictory was bright and pointed, and was delivered with much spirit. His words of thanks to the school authorities and teachers were very well chosen. The address made on. excellent impression, and Master Stern received very hearty applause. The valedctiry to the schoolmates was delivered by Miss Florence Schaeffer. It was charmingly simple ord appropriate, and included reminiscences and allusions to the Incidents of school life. The class of 1900. she stated, had the advantage of looking back upon a departing century and forward to anew century. As great things are expected of the coming century so the same may be said of the class of 1900. The good wishes of the graduates for their suc cessors of 1901 were fittingly expressed. In conclusion the graduates were urged to be true to themselves, and to those who had labored that they might be properly ©quipped for the struggle of life. The valedictorian made a very pleasant Im preaeion. end was rewarded with liberal applause. The response for the pupils of the sec ond grade was made by Miss Caroline SfflNer, who very pleasantly expressed the good wishes of the junior class for the future happiness and success of the grad uates. Col. Mercer, in introducing Mr. P. A. Stovall, who delivered the address to the graduates, Haid that he needed not intro duction. Mr. Stovall told (he graduates that their diplomas were tokens of con fidence in their ability and integrity and credentials which would prove of value to them in the various paths of life which they might pursue Success in every line of life was to be desired, and for them be predicted a full share, but it was chief ly in the domestic affairs of home that they would obtain the greatest honor for themselves and bring the greatest credit upon their alma mater. The lmi>ortaiice of happiness In the home was dwelt upon with much stress. Southern homes and •especially Savannah homes, were exalted above all others by the sj>eaker, and* he excited the laughter anti applause o£ the ■crowd when he declared that he had “rather be a sphinx in Forsyth Park than the Dewey arch in New York or (he Eif fel Tower in Paris.” Speaking of homes. Mr. Stovall said, he was reminded of that intellectual home of so many Savannahians. which all would like to see rebuilt, the Chatham Academy, which was destroyed by fire Sept. 15 last. There was a demand from every corner of the city, he said, that there be erected there. promptly and symmetrically, a building that should be a credit to our children end to our children’s children. The building should be one approaching the beautiful lines of the government building near by; solid and substantial, but beautiful. If the people of Savannah were consulted, he said, the new building would be one commensurate in character witl% the splendid house of worship just across the way. Mr. Stovall closed by drawing n simile between the temples which the Greeks erected to their gods and those which (he moderns erect for the education of their children. His address was well received and drew frequent ap plause. Principal Train said (hat a High School commencement would not be com plete without a few words from Col. Mer cer, the president of the beard. In be ginning his remarks Col. Mercer an nounced the presentation to the High Schol, through Bev. Dr. 6cheffer, of a permanent free scholarship in Eliz abeth College. N. C., the conditions of the scholarship being that it should be awarded to the young lady graduate ob taining the highest average, and in case of a declination, to the next highest, and o on, until one should be found who would avail herself of the opportunity. The gift of a similar scholarship in {shorter College, at Home, to be awarded by the principal, was also announced. Col. Merc r is never happier than when addressing an audience upon s hcol topics, especially if the audience b- largely com posed of school children He was thor oughly In his element last night, and spoke with all his accustomed flow of Thought and imagery of words and ideas. There are few if any speakers in Savan nah who can clothe a beautiful idea more beautifully ihan Col. Mercer, and his au dienc s never tire of hearing him. The top ic of hi* address last night might be termed “The Value of the Beautiful in Ijfe.” He sought to Instill Into the minds of the graduates and the children gener ally th** valu? of beautiful things, music, pictures, poetry and above all, beautiful flowers. He alluded with approval, how ever, to the abs nee of floral greetings to the graduates and slid that "The Only effect of thMr absence on me is to make (he living flowers 1 see around me far more beautiful.” He inculcated the love of flowers and urged their study and con templation. quoting the beautiful words of Gen. Hamilton of Detroit, that ' Flow ers are the angels of the vegetable world that convey our love to the dead.” He also urged rhe study and love of art and beauty generally, and in (his con nection deplored the lack of public ta*te 1n Savannah. As an illustration of the almost absolute lack of taste upon the port of the general public. Col. Mercer al luded to the incident of the hue and cry which followed (he removal of the park aphinxew, and which resulted in their res toration. He excited the laughter of the audience by hie ridicule of the sphinxes as utterly unsuitable objects for park ornaments, and said there had evidently been some slight improvement in public taste as the sphinxes had positions •somewhat less conspicuous than those which they occupied before. He predict ed that the time would soon come wrn an improved public taste would cause their removal from sight entirely. in con utio CM. Mercer said that the graduating class had a mission to per form. To the boys he assigned the en couragement and development of a lit erary taste among the young men of Sa vannah. and to the girls the development of the aesthetic senti ment. "It Is the cordial and unanimous wish of every m<mber ( of the entire board to the graduating class,’’ he said, "that you will each one of you have at all times whatever you may wish, and that you may wish nothing but what is good, love ly and true.” The diplomas were then delivered to the Horsford's Acid Phosphate NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.

M. miM ,y Pst.r V.n who especially recommend this great remedy graduate® by Col. Mercer, the members of the claefi coming forward and receiving the diplomas aa their names were called by the principal. As the graduates came forward in this manner they were ap plauded by their fellow graduates and the members of the other classes. It was very easy to tell from this w'ho were the popular pupils. Master Evan Basch, the midget of the class, received quite an ovation, and Master Carl Stern, the small valedictorian, was also given an ovation. The exercises closed with the graduating song. “The Graduates’ Farewell.” which was very prettily sung by the class. Af ter singing the first verse the graduates returned to their seats, and then almost Immediately reformed their lines and sang the second verst. This proceeding mysti fied the audience somewhat, but it is said to have been the idea of Principal Train in order to enable the young ladles to show their pretty graduating dresses, the two lines changing position after the first verse. Superintendent Ashmore, in behalf of the teachers and the graduates, expressed their thanks to the audience for the ap preciation manifested, and to the high school pupils for their attention and self control, after which he announced that the exercises of the evening had closed. TAKEN IN BY TUB POLICE. Prisoners Charged With Ynrlonn Crimes Held for Recorder. John Anderson, colored, was arrested last night at the request of Mary Wil liams, who charged him with stealing her watch. Benjamin Wallace, a white man playing in hard luck, with a healthy appetite but insufficient financial resources with which to gratify it, floated into Chang’s restau rant yesterday, and after getting a meal attempted to leave with the flippant re quest to the waiter to "put it on ice” or words to that effect. Chang was called into the conference, ano promptly noti fied his guest that he must make good or go to Jail. Not having enough of the needful to come across, he was turned over to Officer Jernigan, who sent him t 6 the lock-up. Another white man, who does Blunts un der the ill-omened name of Jack the Rip per, was taken In drunk and disorJely. Shortly before midnight, a bunch of five colored women were brought in from a house on Harrison street, where they were making a rough house of it to the discom fort of their neighbors. When brought in the principal offender, Laura Green, ex plained to the turnkey that her arrest was an outrage, as she was simply having an argument with her husband. Fle\en prisoners were before the Re corder yesterday. The greater number of them were charged with slight offenses and were let down with light fines with the usual option of impris nment. Ed Jenkins and Willie Williams, charg ed with the larceny of brass, were re manded to the City Court, and so was Henry Blair, accused of the theft of a diamond pin from Sam McGee. LOCAL PERSONAL.

Brunswick, Ga., June 28.—The Cumber land Route is arranging to give Brune wickians and out-of-town people a big Fourth of July entertainment on St. Simon’s Island.

The passing of the buffalo is the hardest blow American nimrods have been forced to bear. Only a few years ngo there were myriads of them and now it is estimated that no more than 200 or 300 are to be found wild and free in the whole land. Within the limit of a quarter of a cen tury no such terrible and thorough exterm ination of big game is recorded in the his tory of any land. And even now the sto ries of the “buffalo days” are limited in the telling to but a scant minority of the lucky ones who enjoyed the stirring inci dents of those wild times. When these are gone the sole remaining link which inde finably connects the present with the past is broken. Then only by historical refer ence can we recall or recollect the legend of the bison's passage. During the past year a few' of the re maining stragglers of the once mighty race have l>een most jealously guarded in the wildest tracts of Colorado's hunting coun try. Official reports claim that in widely scattered bands a few—a very few—in their huven of refuge and for from those dis turbing elements which in the past have proved so fatal still fight against their fate in that invaluable domain, the Yel lowstone National Park. Out of the mill ions of but a generation gone these rem nants remain to keep before the present the pitiless lesson of a reeking past. Fit Specimen* of tle Knee. So when not long since six strong and h a’thy buffalo were butchered for meat In Helena, Mont., some sport m nth ught that no e t. an local attention should have been attracted to so unusual and. to some, unlawful oven . However, but little comment was caused thereby. A few paid the price demanded and <nv yed the now rare delicacy of "bess-r.b” and “buf f 10-hump” a 50 tents per pound Sever al ca-casses were and spool of at dl.terent points bo h h side ond wi hout the limits of the state.

Each dressed about 1. U 0 poi nds. The humps \ve:e high and heavy, and ti e h r and quar ters light and sloping On all the long, dark manes hung i.er.dent fr< m massive .shoulders and thak necks; the long i air. draping almost to the ground, In rart concealed the sturdy forehgs and the bla k, ponderous hoofs, which made tracks i ec tul t*. none of any kind of cloven foot The gteat, hinging ne’ks and massive heads were but a n.a s of matted, bristling hair, out of whic h n t eyes somber shone, and Just above eloped rut the ebon-pt llslud horns. The longer hairs from the bywhiskered lower Juw ' of'.ime* trailed the ground. From the sh u ders back the hair was shorter and I lighter in color, but so th.ck that most pe sistrnt effort fai ed to show the .kin beneath. In all they were most noble beasts. Antelopes Not Easily Reaobed. Another Western animal is yearly be coming scarcer and more shy because of constant harassment. This is the antelope, of which an old hunter says: “What a live antelope don’t see between dawn and dark Isn’t visible from his standpoint; and while you’re a gawkin’ at him through that glass to make out whether he’s a rock or goat he’s counting your cartridges and fixin’s and making up his mind which way he’ll scoot when you draw for a shot on ’im, and don’t ever you forget it.” It does not take the amateur antelope hunter very long to find out the acuteness of that animal’s eyesight. The deer is simply nowhere in this re spect, and some hunters of experience declare that the prong horn antelope pos sesses even a keener eyesight than the os trich or giraffe, both of whjch are fa mous for their keenness of eye. And he is almost equally keen of scent and hear ing. For these reasons the antelope hunt er must be a persistent, tireless horse man and a good shot. As civilization en croaches upon the animal’s territory his senses became keener and his suspicion of human being intensified. Tt is exceedingly difficult to approach within 500 yards of a band of antelope unless one is favored by the character of the country and observes all the nicer rules of intelligent still hunting. It is better to select a rolling, broken bit of country, where one can take advantage of the natural rise and fall of the land, though the game, preferring the flatter prairie, may not be so plentiful there. But your success will be thereby more cer tain. Cnntious Approach Needed. The approved method of hunting the prorghorn Is from the saddle and ihe most important point to be observed is to keep out of sight, with the wind well in your face if possible The antelope se ms to be able to feel th rt vibration .m --partfd to ihe ground by your horse’s hoofs, and to be particularly shy of a horse s neigh or the sound of his shoe s rik ng a piece of stene, so it is we.l to leave your horse picketed in the bottom of the draws and make your way hat less to top of ihe ridges ar.d take a care ful lo< k over. The greatest caution Is here nec ssary, for th se little fellows are not often caught off their guard and take alarm of the slightest suspicion of dan ger. starting off with the si eed of a rail joad train to a safe locality. After that it is ike folUwi g a whirlwind to at tempt to overtake them He likes the tender g a s In th 71 bottom of )rre swale whtre there has been the lightest suspicion of moisture earlier in the summer and it is well to approach such places with the greatest care.

He i< pos se sed cf rerrarkabe vitality and is al most certain, unless hit in a vital part, io get away from even the best mounted hunter. Fatally Curious Sometiem*. Flagging the anie'op?. of which much has been written by the earlier hunters, is now no- longer resorted to, ncr do experi enced hunters believe the game can long er be successfully decoy and in this way, constant harassment having made the an imals extremely cautious of approaching within range of the lure. There are still many Instances, however, of the animal’s acute curiosity bei-g the means of get tii g h m into trouble. An insiance of this kind where a fine buck approached to w.thin 160 yards cf where a hunter was concealed and so surprised him by sud denly stepping out over the crest of a knoll where the ancelop was not expect ed that the hunter missed him point blank with the first cartridge and allowed him to scamper off unmolested until he was out of shooting distance before trying a second. Coursing the antelope with hounds Is possible only from the fact that the ani mal is not long of wind, for at his own distance he will easily hold his own with the very fleetest dogs and fairly distance any ordinary pack. A KING’S GIFT IN PAWN. Silver Salver Presented by William IV of Prussia. From the Washington Times. The average pawnshop is the reposi tory for many curious as well as valua ble things. In these places, where money is lqaned on articles of intrinsic worth, is seen written the concluding chapter of an interesting story, and woven in the tale sometimes are the threads of ro mance or strands of pathos. Even the bare history of the average hypothecated ar i. le is entertaining. The pawn dealers of the capital have in p.s years accumulated numproiM arti cles cf adornment, and personal property of considerable value which had an ex traordinary hisiory, but it is safe to say that never before in the history pf these establishments has one of them obtained possession of anything quite as curious as the silver service new on exhibition at a pr minent Pennsylvania avenue loan of fice. When Frederick William IV, King of Prussia, visit*d England In the early part of the year JSI2 he was greatly impressed with the courteous treatment cf the high cor siab e of Westminster. This high con stable was designated to accompany the Prussian sovereign on all his sightseeing expeditions and to guard the royal person al during h s stay in Westminster. The high constable evidently performed well his duties and made a strong impression uprn the King, for ut>on his return to Truss a FrelerPk William ordered the royal silversmith to design a handsome service to bes nt to the Westminster of ficial as a foken of bis apprec'ation. T be result of His Majesty’s order was a superb set of over 200 pieces of silver ware, inducing an immense coffee urn, tea urn, cr am pitcher, sugar bzwl, spoons of various sorts, knives, forks! tot gs rto The pieces were all carefully beaten out by hand, of exquisite wo kman ship. b autiful in their lines and profuse ly ornamented. Upon the larger pieces of the service was engraved the following “The gift of His Majesty, Frederick W lliam IV. King of Prussia, to mark his o' the attention of Mr. Foster Ow n. high con table of Westminster, during the King's visit to the Metropolis Fib 4, 1842.” Upon all the articles was placed the monogram “F. I )" and rn the reverse of the large piece* the royal ccat of arms of Pruss a. In the London Times of Feb. 25, 1842, the following appear'd: “Duriig the recent visit of the King of Prussia to this country, Mr. Owen, high cons ab’e of Westminster, was a* pointed to ace mrany the King on all his visits to public p’ec s. In reward for his atten tion. His Matesty has ordered that a sil ver service, bearing a suitable Inscription be presented to Mr Owen, and it is now in Hi roursc of preparation.” The presentation took place more than a century ago. It is supposed that the descendants of IPgh C ns'able Owen who came into posses* on of the princely g’ft as an heirlorm, were forced through cir oums ances to dispose of the silverware and that they did so relue'ant’y and with the* stipulation that It should go out of feh. „ STOMACH > our Btoma 'n frrf atauß—cgs ls weak, don't ?ITTIPr!r B,veua The Largest and Strongest Company in the World writing ACCIDENT, HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE.

KILLED TWO MILES OF SNAKES. Prodigious Slaughter of Reptiles by ® Pennsylvania Locomotive. From the Pittsburg Post. “I was running on a road in Southwest ern Pennsylvania,” said the old engineer, “when I killed two miles of snakes in three minutes. It had been a wet end cold spring, end the same weather condi tions had extended to about the middle of May, and it seems that ell the snakes in that part of the couniry had started t:> emigrate.* and as the rails, had bHome warm under the heat of the sun the iep tiles naturally enough found the glittering steel a smooth and comfortable highway, and they just coupled up. one taking hoid of the other’s tail, and started, down the track. I happened to be coming along with the 'jerk-water,’ and we were mak ing twenty-five miles an hour when we met the procession. Jack McDevitt, my fireman, saw the varmints first, and he completely collapsed, but when I perceiv ed what we were up against I pulled the throttle of the old 54 wide open, let the sand drop and smashed two miles of snakes in less than three minute 6.” Mr. Wu Speaks I'p for China. Interview with Wu Ting-fang in the Chicago Chronicle. The educated Chinaman who comes to America is not so much impressed with the supreriorlty of your civlization as yoi might be inclined to imagine. Certain ad vantages you may have over ourselves, but there are offsets. After all, the ob ject of existence Is the pursuit of happi ness, and I do not think that pe. pie gener ally are happier in the United Slates than they are in my country. Happiness Is a condition of the mind rather than one dependent upon extrane ous circumstances. The Chinese have managed to get along very comfortably without electric cars and telephone-, but we are not so reluctant as is generally im agined to accept what you call “modern improvements.” I do not find that the great stores of your large cities are superior to our own. so far as the opportunity of buying what one wants is concerned. On ihe contrary, it is a rather interesting fact that we are able to buy in China many products of American manufacture at prices lest* than are charged for the same articles in the United States. That seems odd, doesn't it? Our markets. In which provisions and oth er food supplies are sold, are at least as good as yours. In our own view our methods of living afford us comforts equal to those whi h you enjoy. In respect to the clothes we wear we have an advantage over you. The opportunities offered for eb.lity an 1 worth in China are not less than in the United States. A public career pres-nts as many attractions. It is not possible In my country for a wood-chopper to be ome Emperor, but he may rise to the pr mier hip. One thifig I may ment on inciden tally is that the opium evil, which is sup posed to be a national vice in China, is not nearly so widespread nor does it bring in its train such dreadful evils as are causel by alcohol in America. —The Reason Why—Tom—“That horse of Mrs. De Smyth’s seem? to be very fond of her.” Jack—“ Naturally; she is a grass widow.”—Chicago News.
