DR. CURRY PLEADS FOR THE CHILDREN He Alakes An Interesting Talk to i Georgia Legislators. HE GOES TO THE POINT Says Disfranchise Voters Who Cannot Head Their Ballot. Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the agent of the Peabody fund, addressed the general assembly of Georgia at noon Friday on the subject of education. The two houses had convened in joint session for the purpose. A committee from the two bodies escorted the speaker in, who was accompanied by Governor Candler, State School Commissioner Glenn and others. Dr. Cnrry said that the proudest boast of Georgia should be made of her state school commissioner, who "was one the best iu the entire country. He represented no corporation. "While the lobbyist were abroad, no one had engaged the members in be' , half of the children of the state. He came to plead for these and for all of them. "What are you going to do with the poorer class of children?" he asked. "How are you going to educate them to make usefull citizens of them, and how many are handicapped by their unfavorable environments?" The wealth of Georgia is not altogether in material things, he said, but is more in these children who are in the homes of those who sent the lawmakers here to enact laws for them. There was a waste of brain power in the state. "Georgia has double the territory of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and yet Massachusetts in invention, in science, in literature is far ahead of this state in the education of her children. There they have a nine mouths' schooL term, while here we have three or four. The average school attendance here is two or three years, while there it is seven years. Massa/ hnoAtt.e rrivoR for fV?A pdnofttiftn of a child, while Georgia only gives $2 per child. >>. * -' ' Horace Mann did more for this country than Daniel Webter,. yet Massachusetts erected a monumen to both. Man gave that state its admiral school system. Isn't a Georgia child as good as a Massachusetts child, and isn't there as much latent talent in your children to be developed? "The state can educate all the children at half the price that the churoh or individuals can educate one-fourth of the children. "Talk about the paramount issue! I have been through many of these crisis, and yet we are still going on. The confederate constitution is the most perfect instrument in the world regarding political wisdom. It provided that the president should hold six years and be ineligible for re- , election. Exalted citizenship is the remedy for the evils of governmental partnerships in private affairs in vogue in our country today. i "Every school in the land should , have industrial education:" Dr. Curry favored the disfranchisement of any voter who could not read the ballot he put in the box, be he white or black. Some one had said that this was an inherent right. This is an absurdity stuffed down the throrts of the people K- " M 1 J A _ "oi tnis country, ana is aone simpiy 10 justify negro suffrage. He was going to speak his mind and not those of the members, and he expected to say some things that would not be relished by his aaditors. "The Republican party, to punish . the south, gave the balance of power to the negroes of Louisiana, Missis^ . sippi and South Carolina by enfranV ehising them and disfranchising many of the whites and then they establishr * ed the Freed man's bureau. > "Some people say the negro is in| capable of education. If they will go with him to Spilman seminary, where everything is a neat as a pin, and which in charge of such godly women, if they do not think the negroes there capable of some degree of education they should go to their homes on the backs of jackasses." "Shall Georgia settle this educational problem for herself," he said, "or shall it be left to others. We must uplift the . negro or he will drag ' us down. such races can occupy thereto e? territory .without frici tion and rt"is ouf duty to provide for ] these." < "It all depends on the legislature as i to the future progress of the state. Is ] educational legislation of this session to be generous and full, or. niggardly < and hurtful? j "Georgia's children should be en^ . abled to compete with any in the i e land, and it is due the members to ] vote their convictions irrespective of i g their constituents, as the consciousness of duty well done would be their highest reward." , < CAN LEVY SPECIAL TAX. Georgia' Supreme Court Renders a | Highly Important Decision.

The case;was that of the Savannah, i Thunderbolt abd Isle of Hope railway vs. mayor and aldermen of the city of * Savannah,, before Judge Falligant, in the Chatham superior court.

Miss., Saturday niglit J. E. Gibson, a prominent contractor from Logansport, Tnd., was arrested on the charge of attempting to bribe Governor Longino and secure his assistance in capturing the contract for the new $1,000,000 capitol building. The arrest was made at the instance of Governor Longino. Immediately after the alleged attempt at bribery occurred he emerged from his private office trembling with excitement, exclaiming: "You have struck the wrong man; T can't be bought." and directed his private secretary to send for the chief of police to take Gibson into custody. Gibson was arrested a few mtnutes later at the Edwards house and unceremoniously bundled off to jail. An hour later he was given a preliminary hearing before Judge Fitzgerald and admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. At the hearing of the testimony Governor Longino stated that he had received two visits from Gibson. During the first visit he stated that a combination had been formed among St. Louis and Chicago contractors to capture the state house contract, and he intended to fight their scheme, but would not give away details when the governor asked *for facts. At the second visit, which occurred Saturday morning, so Governor Longino states, Gibson offered him any sum of money he might ask for his assistance in captnring the contract, insinuating that the price of materials could be changed so that both would be able to make a considerable amount cut of the deal, ' BIRMINGHAM PRINTERS OUT. They Make New Scale Which Employers Won't Accept. All the union printers in the job printing offices in Birmingham, Ala., went out on strike Friday morning. The strike was inaugurated for the purpose of enforcing the scale recently adopted by Typographical Union No. 104, -nd which the proprietors of the job offices refused to pay. The new scale calls for a minimum of $18 per week. The old scale's minimum was $16, but no printing office in Birmingham had paid less than $16.50, and this was generally regarded as the minimum. The printers made some concessions, so far as the daily newspapers are concerned, from their original demands, and they now expect that the newspapers will adopt their scale. The printing offices affected by the strike are Roberts & Son, Leslie Printing Company, Dispatch Printing Company, American Newspaper Union, Birmingham Courier and City Paper Company. SULTAN 15 OBSTINATE. Still Refuses an Exequatur to Our Consul at harpoot. A dispatch from Constantinople says: United States Charge d'Affaires Griscome called upon Tewfik Pasha, minister for foreign affairs to urge a settlement of the difficulty in relation to the granting of an exequatur to Dr. Thomas H. Norton, who some time ago was appointed by President McKinley to establish- a consulate at Harpoot. The porte, however, is firm in its refusal to grant the request for an exequatur. <In regard to the above a Washington special says: The Turkish authorities having refused to grant an eaequatur to Dr. Thomas H. Norton, to act as United States consul at Harpoot, the indications point to some retaliatory measures on the part of our government in the near future. IN QUIESCENT STATE. Administration Is Calmly Awaiting Developments In China. The administration has adopted a waiting policy in the matter of Pekin negotiations, says a New York Herald dispatch from Washington.

A special from Denver, Col., says: It is impossible for the railroads to estimate the amount of damage suffered by reason of the wind storm which swept the lines for nearly one hundred miles along tne case 01 tne mouuiaiua Wednesday. The wiies were blown down and trains are moved with great caution in the absence of telegraphic orders, seriously delaying traffic. Many freight cars on the sidings had their tops blown off, station building were damaged more or less all through the storm region and the tracks strewn with wreckage which further retarded the movement of trains. Between Pueblo and Colorado Springs the property loss will be heavy among the ranchmeo. The storm stands without a parallel in many respects. Former severe wind storms have been accompanied with either rain or suow, but in this case it was neither, and the wind carried sand, gravel and small stones similar to the awful sand storms of the desert. POPULIST LEADER PARDONED. By Order of the President W. F. Carter Is Released From Penitentiary. President McKinley has granted a pardon to W. F.

Carter was cnairman 01 me state Populist committee of Georgia, and postmaster in a small town and used a portion of the funds for political purposes. A postoffice inspector stepped in one day and found him short. The amount was covered in two hours, but notwithstanding this, he was sent to the penitentiary for two years. Carter is now in the hospital suffering with a complication of diseases, and it is questionable whether he will live long enough to reach home. AFTER THE LYNCHERS.

AYER, * | * Lowell, Mass. f J RECKONING L0NQ1TUDE Observatory Founded by Charles IL Universally Accepted as tbe Initial Meridian. On nearly every map the longitude reads either east or west from Greenwich. In American maps there i3 also given the longitude from Washington, lmt that of Greenwich is of almost universal use. At the International Geodetic Congress, which met at Washington in 1884, Greenwich was recommended for universal adoption as the initial meridian. As a matter of fact, there are no less than eighteen other observatries whose meridians are som'etimes used by mapmakers. At one time the assumed meridian of the island of Ferro was accepted as the initial meridian, being exactly 20 degrees west of the meridian of Paris, Ferro, one of the Canary Islands, was the most westerly land known in the days of Ptolemy, and on the discovery of America was the dividing line between the eastern and western hemispheres. The Ferro meridian did not really touch the island, running, in fact, some miles off the east coast. The position fit 20 degrees west of Paris was only assumed. On some maps this meridian is still used as the zero of longitude. In laying out a map the cartographer must start somewhere, so the initial, or zero, meridian of longitude must be, in order to be of the greatest use, from some recognized observatory. The Iioyal Observatory of France was established at Paris, and the work of that tower was so successful that Sir Jonas Moore and Sir Christopher Wren had little difficulty in persuading Charles II. that it would be a good thing, in view of England's growing maritime trade, to establish an observatory for the purpose of determining the longitude at sea, which was, as will be easily appreciated. a pressing necessity. King Charles was told that the first thing required was a more accurate knowledge of the moon and stars. So he founded the Iioyal Observatory at Greenwich on a hill which was formerly the site of the castle of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, just outside of London. This was in 1675. The building was completed Aug.- 10, 1675, and on Sept. 19 the same year the first observation was made by the astronomer ( royal, John Flamsteed, in whose honor the hill has since been known as Flamsteed's hill. In 225 years there have been only eight astronomers royal. It will be seen by the foregoing that the Greenwich Observatory was primarily founded for the purpose of assisting in the accurate charting of the earth as well as of the heavens. However, its work now Includes many other fields of astronomical research. On every available day photographs of the > sun are taken, and after being measured are carefully stored away for reference. The chronometers used in the British navy are purchased and examined at the observatory, and in connec~ tion with other observatories in various parts of the world the astronomer at Greenwich is engaged at present in making an immense photograph of the heavens. The meridian of Greenwich passes through the transit house. This is in reality the spot from which all modern ; maps start?Philadelphia Ledger. Fountains in the Sea. Several fresh -water fountains are known to exist in the Gulf of Mexico, where vessels have frequently filled their casks with the cold sweet water that comes up like a geyser in the midst of the salt water. The fresh water springs, as the sailors call them, have been known in the gulf for 200 or 300 years. They were discovered by early voyagers and were the salvation of many a mariner whose supply of fresh water ran short while he was becalmed in the doldrums. Some of the fresh water springs are marked upon the charts, but there is so little need of them nowadays by the steamers on the gulf, and the sailing fleet is so small, that no attention is paid to them, and they have passed out of the knowledge of the younger skipper.? Chicago Record. IBB Why the Oyster Crop Falls. It is pointed out that partial failure of the oyster crop In certain years, the diminution in size of oysters on the market and the extinction of many oyster beds that formerly were famous ?the "saddle rocks,'- for instance? have been due to want of material for the production of the oyster shell. The j bods throughout the oyster bolt have j steadily deteriorated of late years, and i in many cases become absolutely j worthless, in.spite of the fact that food has been supplied artificially at great expense and trouble, and wire fences have been used to protect the oysters from the starfish. For this trouble the defilement of the water by ! sewage and waste of various manufacturing establishments has usually | been blamed, sometimes justly, some! times without cause. What the oyster i m ncf h.ovd nr It will nerish. is a full supply of carbonate of lime with which to build its shell. Near the mouth of ! rivers, where carbonate of lime in me[ chanical solution, as it is expressed, I comes down from the hills and plains I of the interior in drainage, the oyster i lias all the material it needs for buildj ing its houses and, at the same time, | ' the inflowing tide brings it ample | food.?Boston Transcript. A Carious Combat. A traveler in South Africa witnessj ed not long since a singular combat. He was musing one morning, with his eyes on the ground, when he noticed a caterpillar crawling along at a rapid rate. Pursuing him was a host of small black ants. Being quicker In their movements, the ants would catch up with the caterpillar, and one would mount his back and bite him. Pausing, *tne caterpillar would turn his head, and bite and kill his tormentor. After slaughtering a dozen or more of his persecutes, the caterpillar showed signs of fatigue. The ants made a combined attack. Betaking himself to a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed up the tree, tail first, followed by the ants. As one approached he seized it in his jaws and threw it off the stalk. The ants, seeing that the caterpillar had too strong a position for them to overcome, resorted to strategy. They began sawing through the grass-stalk. In a few minutes tlie stalk fell ana hundreds of ants pounced upon the fallen caterpillar. He was killed at * once, and the victors marched off In great triumph, leaving the foe's body upon the field. , CURES RHEUMATISM OR CATARRH IN A DAY. TREATMENT FREE. B. B. B.
