THE SEMINARY CLOSES.
The Lincoln Students to Return
, Home Next Week.
Louisville, Ky., May 21.—As
this will be my last opportunity I'll send the to
write from this place,
Journal readers a brief message.
We tiiially secured the three hun¬
dred students and enjoyed It Prest.
Whitsitt’s big turkey dinner. was
a huge affair, given in the seminary
dining h.all. A large number of
prominent men from the city
present, besides all married the students, (and
the families of the ones,) the
entire faculty and their families.
The dinner was sumptuous beyond
description, and the afternoon speech¬
es were witty and entertaining.
About the biggest snow we have
seen here fell on May 6. It just,
literally poured down for two hours.
However, it melted almost as fast as
it fell, except on the house tops,
which became thoroughly covered.
But let me tell you,, the mercury has
since been up to ninety degrees in
the shade.
We have heard so much “war”
that we now pay but little attention
to it. Several of the big dailies here
get out an extra every hour or two.
When news came from Dewey at
Manila, the Courier Journal pitched o’clock
in and got out ao extra at 2
in the morning, and the little boys
were veiling “extra” long before day
break. Dispatches from Key hours West
are often read here in three
after they are sent. The Courier,
the Times, the Dispatch, the Post
and the Commercial are each trying
to outdo the others in keeping up
with the war, often manufacturing
some of their news. Many troops
have left here.
Miss Mamie Bentley left on the
17th inst. for Chattanooga, Bridge¬
port, Ala., and Whitewell, Tenn.,
