SOCIETY .
FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS.
Stuny of Savannah's College Stu
dents Have Returned Hume.
The return of many of Savannah's
college boys and girls for the short en
joyment of the Easter holidays, has
been a pleasant incident of the past
few days, and the streets now, morn
ing and afternoon, are gay with their
bright young faces. After the three
months of hard study since Christmas,
with its fortnight of gayety, to be at
home again seems obviously good to
them, and they spread a contagious
pleasure as they pass.
Whether there will be any entertain
ing in the younger set during Easter
tide has not been rumored, but as the
holiday is briefer than at Christmas,
and fewer come home to enjoy it par
ties are usually infrequent.
Sunday's steamer arriving from New
Tork will bring in the last contingent
of students, who are to have the good
fortune of spending the holidays at
home. Among those expected on it
are Miss May Egan, Miss Mary Comer,
and Mr. I.ouis H. Egan.
Miss Audrey Deßenne and Wymber
ley Deßenne, Jr., returned home yes
terday. Among the'girls who arrived
- A SMART BLOUSE.
This blouse displays a great deal of good taste and style. It is often
more difficult to get a good model for a plain blouse than for the more
elaborate laeey affairs that can stand any amount of trimming. The
severe lines are exceptionally good in this model. The box pleat coming
down over the shoulder, hiding the seam and extending down into the
sleeve, gives the effect to the shoulders so universally aimed after, while
the little tabs crossing in front and the fullness which • comes from each
shoulder add to its charm and becomingness. A heavy butchers’ linen
would make a very pretty blouse from this design. It is also a good
model for a waist in a shirt waist suit.
earlier in (he week, are the Misses
Photter, Miss Julia Hunter and Miss
Lucy Barrow from Baltimore, and Miss
Virginia Biesbee from Washington.
The Yale boys who arrived yester
day for the holidays are Mr. Antonio
Waring, Mr. J. J. Waring, and Mr.
A. R. Lawton, Jr. Mr. John Comer
came earlier in the week.
Among the others already at home
are Mr. George J. Baldwin, Jr., Mr.
Lester Karow, Mr. Charles Mills, and
Mr. George Maclean.

ARE NO EXCUsIs FOR
REJECTING SALVATION
Said Rev. S. R. O. Adams at Dally
Street Bnptixt Chareh.
In his sermon at the Duffy Street
Baptist Church last night Rev, S. R.
C. Adams took the ground that there
was no excuse which the reasonable
man could advance for rejecting the
salvation which was brought to hu
manity by Christ. The different ex
cuses made were touched upon, and
the fallacy of each from the Scrip
tural standpoint brought out.
The first excuse which Mr. Adams
touched upon was that which claimed
there was so much mystery in reli
gion that the human mind could not
grasp it. This he said was a fallacy as
the lack of knowledge to understand
a thing did not imply that the thing
itself was untrue. As illustrations he
cited the mind of the child which could
not understand the full meaning of all
the theories and maxims of mathe
matics, but his lack of understanding
did not invalidate the maxims or the
theorems.
The second excuse made, he said, was
that religion was so gloomy. This,
too, he characterized as a fallacy and
due entirely to a misunderstanding.
Religion, he said, is gloomy only to
those who make it so. In truth it
should make a man brighter and bet
ter and happier. There should be no
cause for gloom in the knowledge that
one has been saved from eternal dam
nation .
The last excuse is that there are so
many bad men in the church. That
there were bad men in the church the
speaker admitted, but scored vigorous
ly the logic which determined the
worth of a system by the character of
the men who advocated it. Besides
this, too, there were many good men
in the church and a careful summary
would show that the good men were
far inlthe majority. In addition there
are more bad men outside of the
church than there are within its por
tals.
The meetings are increasing in in
terest and larger congregations are in
attendance each night. Meetings will
be he'd as announced to-day and on
Sunday. Numbers are professing con
version each night.

the Two hardest Ships of the
Fleet—Gross Tonnage s,tilMl. iKMI
Tons More Than Any of I lie Other
Ships Kxeept the Colamhus—Choice
of Nunie Will Flense Atlantans.
"City of Atlanta” is the name that
the new ship of the Ocean Steamship
Company, now building at the Dela
ware River Iron. Shipbuilding and En
gine Works, at Chester, Pa., will be
christened.
This was announced in Savannah
yesterday morning by Maj. J. F. Han
son, president of the Ocean Steamship
Company, and of the Central of Geor
gia, who was here for a short visit.
It is expected that the new vessel
will be launched in about two months.
The City of Atlanta will be a sister
ship of the City of Columbus, recent
ly launched, but not yet completed,
and not expected on the line between
Savannah and New York until May 1,
and it will be in practically every re
spect a duplicate of that ship. As has
been stated in the Morning News, it is
understood that the plan of passenger
accommodations of both of the vessels
have recently been modified so as to
include room for intermediate and for
steerage passengers. With this excep
tion the specifications of the new ship
will be as follows:
HiiueiiMion* of Ship.
Length on twelve-foot water line,
370 feet; length over all 393 feet;
breadth 'of beam, molded. 49 feet;
depth, molded, 27 feet. The spar and
middle decks will be of steel, the hur
ricane deck will be of steel covered
with asbestos and then planked and
covered with canvas, making the pas
senger deck a part from the freight
accommodations and fire proof. Water
ballast capacity 910 tons, bunker ca
pacity 428 tons; cubic freight capac
ity, 352,206 feet; deadweight capacity
of cargo and coal on mean draft, 18
feet 6 inches, 3,500 tons; speed when
loaded, 12 to 13 knots. The gross ton
nage of the steamship will be about
5,600 tons, or 350 tons larger than
the City of Macon and City of Mem
phis.
There will be four decks extending
all fore and aft. Accommodations for
eighty first-class passengers will bo
furnished on the hurricane deck. The
dining saloon, which is located for
ward, will be elaborately decorated,
while the smoking room, sun parlor,
officers’ quarters and pilot house will
be located on the joiner deck. The
ship will be electric lighted through
out, with a perfect system of elec
tric bells.
Fitted With Powerful Engines.
The vessel will be equipped with one
triple expansion engine. Diameter of
cylinders, high pressure, 38 inches; in
termediate, 46 inches; low pressure, 75
inches; stroke of pisjon, 48 inches;
steam from four single end boilers, 14
feet 8 inches diameter; length, 10 feet
6 inches; pressure of steam, 180 pounds.
Blake pump feed, water heater and
filter will be used; steam steering en
gine of the most improved style, hyde
capstan and windlass, also Baldt pat
tern stocklean anchors.
The hull of the City of Atlanta will
be constructed under the cellular wa
ter bottom system, channel and steel
constructions, with channel fringes,
beams, stringers and ties, and will be
constructed in the highest class under
Owners and Builders and Underwrit
ers' rules, and especial survey by their
representatives to class A1 for twenty
years. Scantling and material used in
the construction of the hull will be
tested to the highest standard by ex
perts.
It Is too early yet to consider the
plans for the launching, but the cere
mony is likely to be witnessed by a
large number of citizens of Atlanta,
who have been for a long time anx
ious to have their city represented
with a namesake in the fleet of the
Ocean Steamship Company. Following
the usual custom. Maj. Hanson and
the other chief officers of the company
will also be present.
Which captain of the fleet will be
given charge of th* new snip is yet
unknown, and will probably not be
settled until the vessel is nearly ready
to take its place on the line.
