HON. P. W. MELDRIM
And His Views of tne University Com
mencement.
Hon. P. W. Meldrim, on his return to
Savannah, had an interview with the
ftavanoah Press on the subject of com
mencement. The Press srys:
Mai* Meldrim was much impressed
with the commencement exercises. He
said the crowda were very large and at
tentive and the sooial features this year
were not too distracting. There was
no conflicting program to draw away
the crowds from the literary exercises.
If there had been -any right of com
plaint on this score it did not hold now.
A very large sud attentive audience
listened to Gen Henry R. Jackson’s
discourse upon “Loyalty” last Tuesday.
The chapel Was also crowded yesterday,
which waa commencement day.
M.j. Meldrim snd.Maj. Stem aeem
to have made the flgtet in the board of
trustees in behalf of the literary socie
ties, the object being to award! medals
for the best debaters in the college, the
medals to be presented during com-
m-noement. In this way the old time
interest in the debating societies will
be revived. These societies are also to
a-ieot representatives to speak in the
commencement program
Msj. Meldrim did not think the Greek
letter societies wonld be abolished.
They could be used as great aids to the
college. The university now liad a
good endowment fnnd and an able fao-
ulty. With new enthnsitam developed
among the students the college wonld
be in flrst-clasa trim. Maj. Meldrim
aayahe has never attended a finer com
mencement. The trustees unanimous
ly congratulated the faculty upon the
interesting exercises.

A CARD FROM PROF WURM.
I have often heard the praises of the
M Mathushek” Piano, and being desirous
of testing the instrument, I engaged
one for our orchestra during the Uni
versity commencement which has just
closed at Athens, Ga. I am now pre
pared to say and do say that I consider
the “Mathushek’’ one of the very best
pianos mode They are bnilt for tone
and durability, and I think they would
last a lifetime. AlfridJ Wubm,

THAT IS STINGING AROUND
HEREIN ATHENS'*'
CBEATISG1 SECTION
And Causing Certain Parties
to Squirm When The
Sting is Applied to
Them.
There is a bee that hsa been stinging
around Athena and it is of the bumble
It stung only certain parties, how
ever, and waa so harmless as to others,
that it could beheld in the bands.
In plain terms it waa a little newspa
per and its articles were hustlers. Its
motto waa: “I sting'when I light and I
light often,” and it verily carried it
oat.
Now everybody was talking about the
Bumble-Bee in Athena yeaaerday and
commenting upon it. There waa a con
demnation for oertain attacks, but in s
large degree the people looked upon the
charges in a serious light.
Of so great demand was a copy of the
publication that it waa actually quoted
in the market at one dollar,and unpur-
chasable at that price.
The people have heard of ita contents
and want to .read them. It created a
great sensation because it handled
things with glooves off and called a
spade a spade.
There la another bee in Athena that
■tings considerably and several people
have squirmed when the sting was ap
plied. ' That bee is the announcement of
the bargains to be had at J. J. O. Mo-
Mahsn’s Clayton street store In all tnat
pertains to Gents’ Clothing and Fur
nishing Goods, and a comparison with
the other clothing houses in the eity.
That bee is popular with the people
because he sings and buzzes of good
bargains and good times.

And
It is almost equal to a trip to the
seashore to takes swing around Athena
on the electric oars these lsiy hazy
June evenings, as Stanton would say.
It to simply delightful.
The soft Jane breeze, sweeping np
from towards the gaif, radiant with the
fragrance of roses and wild towers,
does not only prod uoe a moat pleasant
sensation, but sauna to brace and
strengthen the wlxA system, and by
the time the “home ran” has been
made, one steps to the ground with a
more elastle motion, and the cheeks are
tinged with a vivid flash of life and
vigor.
Then there an many things of inter

nated with the rich,.green fields and
meadows, with their bloom, and ripen
ing harvest, forming a sortof a vesti

range of many stiles, a person seems to
enter a new and beautiful world. From
the large plateau, upon which the base

esvue soenery •towards {he northwest,
presenting a scene not equaled in any

Everywhere scenes of life and beanty

In malting the trip just at this time
many improvements are noticed at the

teachers will have one of the most
beautiful and delightful places in the

The Victoria had an enormous hole
made in her side, through which the'
Crater poured in torrents. The im
mense hull of Victoria at once began to
settle, and before those on board of her
coaid cast loose their small boata she
went to the bottom, carrying with her
nearly all on board.
Some of the officers and crew man
aged to get ont of the snetion caused by
the sinking vessel and were rescued.
Among those lost is Vice Admiral
Tryon.
The first report of the disaster stated
that about 200 men were drowned, but
later dispatches show that the loss of
life was far greater, not less than 400
of officers and crew of the Victoria hav
ing gone down with their ship.
The Victoria was a twin-screw bat
tle ship of 10,470 tons, 14,000 horse
power. She mounted 15 guns. The
Camperdonn is also a twin-screw battle
battle ship. She is of '10,600 tons and
11,500 horse power and cairiee 10 gnns.

Rear Admiral Albert H. Markham,
of tha Trafalgar, the flagship of the

An Official Report.
“I regret to report that while manoen-
veringoff Tripoli the Victoria and Cam-
perdoun collided. The Victoria sank in
15 minntes in 18 fathoms of water. She
lies bottom uppermost. The Camper-
doun’s ram struck forward of the tur
ret on the starboard side. Twenty-one
officers were drowned. Two hundred
and fifty-five men were saved.
The injury to the Camperdonn has
not yet been fnlly ascertained, bnt it is
serious, and will necessitate her going
on dock for repairs. I propose_to send
the survivors to Malta.”
The complement of the officers and
crew of the Victoria comprised 600 men.

Tried to Save the Ship.
As soon as the officers of the Victoria
saw that there was danger of their ship
foundering, orders were given to dose
the collision bulkheads, in order to keep
the water in the compartment into
which the Camperdonn had shoved her
ram.
The sailors tried to obey the order,
bnt the ship was making water too fast
to allow of closing the bulkheads, and
while the men were still trying to shut
them the vessel, with her immense gnns

carried them down.

‘ MISS FORCE’S’TRIAL
She Must Answer in Court,The Charge
of Murder.
Atlanta, June 23 — (Special.)—Miss
Julia Force will be placed on trial for
tbe killing of her two younger sisters,
Florence and Minnie, in the superior
court next Monday. Witnesses have
all been aubpbeearsed to appear on that
day, and the panel from which the jury
will be selected baa been made out sev
eral days.
Capt. John L. Hardeman of Msoon
will be leading oonnael for Miss Force,
assisted by Mr. Barton .Smith of this
city. Capt. Hardeman to a kinsman of
Miss Foroe.
Miss Foroe was pronounced insane,
by the oourt of ordinary a few days
after the horrible homicide, bnt the -
Superior court does not reoognize this
finding at all; but tbe prisoner’s oourse
must show that she was insane at the
time of the killing. If, however, a plea
of guilty to entered on the ground of
insaniey at the time of the killing, and
the jury sustains the plea, then the
verdict of the ordinary’s oourt stands
as to her present condition, and she
will at once be committed to the asy
lum. Her attorneys may pursue still
another course by pleading present In
sanity, waiving the establishment of
insanity at the time of the killing,and,
if successful, secure her commit
ment to the asylum. She would
in this case be held answerable to the
Indictment for murder should she at
anytime recover her reason. The trial
will be a highly interesting one.
