Toward the laat the Thaw case drifted Into a condition In which the llfo or death of Thaw waa not a matter to the general public of so much Im portance as to whether Del mas would win the laurels of the concluding ar gument In tho case from District At torney Jerome. No Intelligent prognostic of future possibilities on the large chess board of politics can safely Ignore Governor lfughea, of New York. The Washington Herald declares that Governor Hughes, of New York. Is distinctly a new force In public af faire. He baa neither flatulency of mind nor Indecision of purplae. He la more like Grover Cleveland than any other conspicuous public character of our times. The Republican party cannot claim Governor Hughes, and ho does not feel tintler any obligations to them. He was elected by a movement >a distinctly Independent as tbat of William It. Kearst. and he If doubtless a coming man in the country. Between Editor Bowdre Phlnliy and Hon. Hooper Alexander the Geor gia railroad is having rather a busy time of It. Professor Sellgman, of Columbia University, Is a persistent seeker after trouble. He la advocating barring wo men from teaching In the schools. Governor Campbell puts it squarely tip to the Texas legislature by recon vening It in extraordinary seaalon to act An Important laws. Though Its plant ha* been reduced to aabes, The Rome Tribune will not skip an issue. The paper will be print ed In other offices until the new outflt, ordered by wire while the flames were at work, arrives. Editor J. Lindsay Johnson proposes to make The Trib une better and brighter than ever.

HELPING YOUNG MEN TO FIND THEIR CALLINGS. It la at onci* significant and logical tbat since Princeton University has adqpted the tutorial or preceptorial system, It Is regarded by many sound educators as the best college for hoys In these United States. The preceptorial system divides up the faculty and the tutors among the students and gives to each small hatch of students and In some cases to each student an Instructor who will study tho student's personality and gifts, and help him to choose the line of studies and ultimately the career best suited to bis temperament and talents. Nothing wiser than this baa been developed la our modern system of education. / The pity of It Is that It Is not universal. We need It In our Southern schools and colleges. Our teachers have an even higher work to do than to merely teach. The teacher who helps our sons to wisely choose their calling and vo cation In life has done for them a bettor thing than to fill their heads with all the Greek roots and Latin atems tbat ever grew rank In the wilderness of learning. These eminent gentlemen who fill our college and university chairs have labored long and diligently for the equipment which baa seemed to flt them for their work. And, coming home, after years of toll and study, with their minds trained and stored. It la natural (though that they should fall Into the an cient custom of answering the recitation hell, hearing and explaining the lessons of the day, recording the marks, preparing the examination pa pers. passing up tho final averages of the student, and sinking'back with satisfied conscience Into the realm of dutiful complacency. There Is no blame for these admirable gentlemen-In the past. But, under this new conception of the larger mission and the higher duty of the teacher, let us suppose tbat during the sophomore and Junior years of each student under college supervision, each professor had mingled wisely and mildly with hie merely scholastic work some thought ful observation of the young men themselves—of their method, their man ner, their temperament, their type of mind, and their trend of taste and disposition—as wise and kindly men can always do with youth. Then let us suppose that. In the laat half of the Junior year, the presi dent or chsncellor should announce on three days of every week: "Gentle men of the faculty, we will omit the lectures on Latin, or Greek, or Mathe matics, for today, and will spend the two hours assigned to the omitted branches In a faculty consideration of the Personality and Direction of the first ten names In the Junior class." And at the hour named these wise and experienced men. after one or two years of contact with the students under review, would carefully dis cuss the talents, temperament and aptitudes of each student, and reach, ao far aa possible, a concurrent Judgment aa to the business and vocation to- which each man's natural equipment called him. On the next meeting of the faculty there might bei ten other names under discussion, and so on until the Junior and sophomore classes were exhausted. And at the conclu sion of these vital conferences, at tbo close of the term, each member of the Junior class, and pome perhaps, from the sophomore class, might carry home to parent or guardian a sealed envelope containing the concurrent Judgment of from ten to twenty wise, experienced and professional In structors of youth upon tho life-work of the young man or young worn'an whose destiny was at stake. There would be nothing obligatory, and certainly nothing compulsory, about this edict, but a faithful parent and an earnest youth, studying with consecrated earnestness the vital question of the child'? life-work, would thank God and the progressive age for this wise and mighty help In deciding the momentous question of vocation. They would study It, and talk of It during the summer holiday, and the chances are ■■ a thousand to one against the old way tbat the “misfit" would oe missing from this youth’s life, and that the decision reached In this noble conference of counselors would send the young man rejoicing and successful on hfs useful way. Happy Is that man who, In (he providence of God. and in the wisdom of loving counsel, has found his work. And blessed are they who, in faithful consideration, have helped a. man to find his work. fs there anything unreasonable. Or sensational, or Impracticable in this?’ ‘ , The writer of tbeae lines inn j? Hot live to se It, but Just so sgrely ss the age survives this Is the line <>n which the education of the future will progress. Tho Idea Is uew. But lt'ls alive. It lias reason and wisdom, and philanlliruiiy tn it. And l( will survive. The pchldo has bi-i-ii cast In the water. The ripples are Invisible, but they wilt beat yot upon the farthest shore. THE "PROPRIETY” OF THAT SPEECH. As to the "propriety and courtesy” of making that Chattanooga speech under the occasion .and circumstances of Its delivery, suppose we permit Mr. Bryan, the chief party concerned', to be the Judge. He has placed his full ami unqualified sanction upon the amenities of the production. Here are the facts. The speaker construed the occasion to be a Democratic conference and not a banquet of eulogy or ratification. Upon the first hint from two or three ultra members of the committee disapproving certain portions of a speech whose contents should never have been disclosed, the speaker promptly accepted the situation, and without pique or resentment attended tho banquet ne a guest and with no expectation of speaking. At the urgent and cordial request of tho chief guest, Indorsed by the entire committee, he returned under the specific Invitation to deliver the speech as It was prepared. As a preliminary statement the speaker ex plained that his purpose tn maklng-the speech In Mr. Bryan's pretence, was to be manly and fair, In presenting a radical view In most courteous terms, not behind the back of the chief party concerned, or among a divided people In other sections of the country, bnt In a conference of Southern Democrats at a home feast and with the great leader of the party present lu hla own person to answer on the spot in his own person and in bli own way. And when Mr. Bryan rose to speak, In his own great and generoui way, hla own lips declared In specific terms that "It waa the proper and Democratic thing to do to apeak auch counsel right out In a party gather ing,” and be blmielf paid highest and most generous tribute to the courage and sincerity of tho speaker. So If Mr. Bryan himself Indorses the "propriety” and commends the frankness of the speech, we do not see that anybody else has any baals of complaint. The only fair and manly thing to do with such a proposition was to present It Just where and when it was proposed. W. T. Stead says Roosevelt ought i Im- h megaphout-. Ho far no one on this side baa complained about the president's ability to. throw bis voice . *•:» ».r ill* r*TTtrr, PATRONIZING HOME TALENT The Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, of Baltimo'^ In stalled a new secretary the other day, and one of the things that greeted 1 him upon hla arrival in Baltimore from an adjoining city was the fol lowing card In the Baltimore News from bis predecessor In that office, Mr. Frank A. Furet. Mr. Furst Is quoted at follows: "I have no doubt that Mr. Boggs, the new secretary. Is well qualified for the place, and I have nothing to any against him. but I am opposed to this thing of going out of the city for a man every time there Is a good position o|ien here. There are. plenty of Baltimoreans who could have filled tbat place with the Mer chants and Manufacturer*' Association, a great many of them be ing men who dre acquainted with the organisation's members as well as being thoroughly familiar with local affairs. It'* a reflection on the city. The practice I* hound to discourage our home folks, and will not benefit us at all. This thing of going out of town every tlme we want an engineer, n secretary, it suiierintendent or some other fellow ought to he stopped. We have men here who are competent to fill any position that we may have, and if they are not given the chance It will hurt the etty la the end.” Upon a first glance one Is very much Inclined to agree with the view which Mr. Furst here puts forth. In Atlanta particularly It has long been an accepted policy to patronise home industry and to encourage home men whenever possible, and in the main It seems to be a moat excellent I alley. Where we have good products manufactured In our own city, there can be no wiser policy than for the dtlaens to buy nothing made out of Atlauta if they can buy the same article of the same quality made tn Atlanta. And we have also been very much inclined In this city to indorse the Idea that between two men applying for a position, one locally and the olher from another stale, the local man should always be given the preference. lint there are two views to this question, out- of which Is cordially championed by our contemis>rary .of The HalUmure News, which taper r ,v-t-'-i , f M- F:r<t :■* i-»l|r-> tv"-t->w rilt-l—I n-td iin-- wlse. In doing this It makes a telling thrust at .Mr. Kurst by asklug what he would think of the principle If applied to himself In the applica tion which he, of Baltimore, has already made to Galveston, New Or leans, Norfolk and Philadelphia In the same capacity In which he served In Baltimore. Let us suppose, for Instance, that fifty years ago the few thousand people composing the city of Chicago had persuaded themselves that every newcomer meant a longer division of the profits derived from the opportu nities for trade and had given a cold reception Instead of a cordial greeting to the influx from the East. Under these circumstances would there have been'a great city at a particular point on Lake Michigan where Chicago stands? Big cities and great countries are made by a com mingling of men and Ideas In all possible varieties. What new cities need fs men, and men wherever It can get them, and ^whlle The Geor gian would never counsel Atlanta to forget or to Ignore the claims of her own worthy sons in their applications for stations of public- trust and honor, neither would wo counsel a policy In which the city should Ignore the claim of new men voluntarily pulling up stakes lu other cities and coming to offer tlielr talents and attainments and experience to us. There Is perhaps a wholesome anti healthy mean to be preserved in this matter. What Atlanta needB Is men. more men, as many men as we can get, and If In times of serlouB emergencies the city can get for some public ofllce of Importance a man from the outside distinctly better equipped and more effective than one from our own ranks, then wo should see that uot only common sense |i tho selection of public servants but that public policy In the open door stretched wide to wholesome and Indispensable settlers should Invite them to a permanent residence here. Maybe April has developed a brain storm. It certainly has shown symptoms of mollycoddleltis. In Its final analysis Tho Washing ton Herald started the rumpus with The Houston Prfst about the straw berry simply to dodge the Issue of the grapefruit plural. Grand Rapids' city clerk hears the euphonious name of Nik Klk. Contra ry to tho general belief, he la not re lated to the Ahkoond of Swat. It la rather singular tbat the Thaw case wound up just as the ball season opened. Delmas and Jerome are the wise boys. SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE WATERWORKS. To the Editor of The Georgian: Now that the water bonds have car ried by a tight squeeze, under a inoet strenuous effort by ua, Its friends, I feel I can venture to offer eome sug gestions. Three hundred thousand dot- tars Is lota of money, probably not more than will ba needed for the enlarging of the facilities for laying an additional main, for filling the two reservoirs and laying additional distributing pipes, through the sections most needed for general use (and especially fire protec. tlon). Now we have voted 8600,000, with the assurance of the present council that only 8360,000 Is to be Issued. Is this (or can It be made) binding on succeed ing councils? It should (and, I feel sure. It will) 'be used with that care and consideration as If every Improve ment had to be fought through the city council on the merits of each specific Job, and when expended, we can sx- Army-Navy Orders Our Claims for Your Business— Ample security.

I do not bellev* the waterworks, be- longing, a* It doe*, to the people, should boast of any profits (above the Interest depreciations and running expenses ot the department); to do so It would put tt In the reach of all class**, with out hardship to any, and encourage the greater use of wator, which would purify and help sanitary conditions. It would also encourage manufacturing In various lines to the extent of the reduction of cost. The charge for meters should never hare been made. It Is arbitrary, and a hardship on the poor and general pub- own or control, ft Is to satisfy an other's charge against the use of their commodity furnished. No private cor poration could do such a thing. They do not as to gas or electricity. The Army Orders. Washington. April 13.—Colonel Geo. Brown, Twenty-sixth Idfantry: Lieu tenant 8. L. M.

This grim place, where the unkonwn dead of Paris are laid out on slabs for Identification, la to be closed to ordi nary visitors. The authorities have decided to ad mit no more visitors unless they can show some valid reason for entering- being able to Identify some relative, or so on. The place has been crowded with people who come from mere mor bid curiosity—mostly foreign tourists. Paris working girls and "gamins.’’ Scenes have taken place there which were lacking In the reverence due to the dead, so the city fathers have de cided that the Morgue shall cease to be a "show place." Parisians are delighted with the.idea great chemist, 31. 3lar- that their late great _ celtln Berthelot, and Ills devoted wife will not be separated In death. It has been decided that this great man, who had done so much for his country by his researches In chemis try. as well as other works, should find a last resting place at the Pan theon, the Westminster Abbey of France. When the Berthelot famtly were approached on the subject they replied that they were willing that the French people should do aa they liked with the body of their beloved parent, but they would never consent that their father should be burled in a different place from their mother. A special meeting ot the mlnlstera was called and It waa voted that, like the wire ot 31r. Gladstone, the devoted wife of the great scientist should rest beside him in the Pantheon. “Tho hope of finding again those whom we GLASSES FITTED “The ropretenUtir© retail optical boas© of the sooth.'* A careful, exhaustive and complete examination of the c^es and the latest styles glasses fitted.

To the Editor qf The Georgian: The proposal to build * memorial hospital Instead of a shaft and statue In memory of the late Mr. Samuel Spencer calls to mind that while the committees wprs canvassing for sub scriptions to erect a statue to Henry W. Grady they accosted Colonel Wil liam A. Moore for a subscription. He told them In his gentle and quiet way that he would give nothing for a statue, but If they would get up a fund to build a hospital he would subscribe lib erally for that purpose, and that Inci dent was ths Initiatory step toward the erection of the Henry W. Grady Memo rial Hospital. B. Atlanta, Ga. same time ths lengthy shadows of morning and evening are evidence that ths sun Is In a poor position at those times to act as an lllumlnant. Conse quently we should eschew bracket Illumination In so far as practica ble. Should bracket lighting be resort ed to. in order to get certain archi tectural or ornamental effects, the In trinsic brilliancy of the light 'source must be reduced to a safe value by the use of a diffusing screen, such as a dsnse opal globe. It should be borne In mind, however, thst the general Il lumination of an Interior can be best and most efllcientlv obtained by plac ing the so (tree ot light overhead at a good elevation. ' One-candle power per Square foot of floor space Is considered good light en gineering for general Illumination. One and a half-candle power per square foot for visual work; light source, 10 feet above floor; higher the light is placed the greater its power should be to produce given results. No lights should be placed on the line of vision or In front of the speaker. The rostrum should be lighted from above by con cealed lights. R. L. CAMPBELL Atlanta. Ga A mysterious individual, whose name Is probably Andre Faure, 41 years old. has been arrested at Grenoble, under curious circumstances. At the fodt of the ruins of an old chateau of the Dauphlne there Is a precipice with a drop of about 300 feet, at tha foot of which roars a rushing torrent. At this place, which tho In habitants have named the “Devil’s Grotto," a mysterious light has lately been seen. The comlssary of police, accompa nied by two policemen, determined to Investigate. One after another they all three descended Into the ravine by means of an Iron chain.

At the time of the duch ess' disastrous appearance at the Mou lin Rouge In a piece written by Iters-lf the paper made some very strong re marks about the lady and her ante cedents. Madame de Morny was furious and brought tho action against the writer of the article and also against the puh. Usher of the paper. The court award ed Madame de Morny 25 francs dam ages against tha publisher and also fined him 26 francs, but the duchess had to pay the author one franc dam ages for hiving needlessly brought him Into court, as she bad proved no legal Justification for doing so. 3Iadsme de Morny Is very dissatis fied with the verdict, nnd says she li determined to make the paper pay, even If she' has to have the esse tried over again. 1th fhelr revolver* cocked the police then penetrated Into the cave.

There were about half a ton of books In all. Tbs hsrmit was arrested and taken up by the chain which had served for the descent of the officers.

The king, dressed In a full traveling cloak and a round hat. alighted from his carriage alone and unattended, like the simplest of travelers.

AUDITORIUM ILLUMINATION. To the Editor of The Georgian: To Illuminati effectively and econom ically Is to so select and locate the proper units that certain desired results are attained tn the most satisfactory manner. Illumination la not merely a matter of carelessly scattering about a number of light sources. The eye Is a delicate organ, which, through age* of develop ment. lias acquired certain character istics and limitations and It may be come fatigued and even Impaired If these limitation* are not recognised. In plamtlngjhe artificial Illumination of a building we can not do better than take nature aa a guide. Through ages of evolution the human eye haa grown accustomed to light as provided by the sun. atyl if we strive to obtain daylight values In our artificial Illumination we will be working toward those condi tions' which best suit tiiat organ. A consideration of |he altitude of the sun during the period of Ita greatest efficiency and of the consequent ab sence of bright lights In our field of vision laavea no doubt as to the proper direction for artificial Illumination. As this great luminary approaches the horizon ami come# within our natural Held of vision hla ray* arc greatly tempered by the earth’s atmosphere, acting a* a diffusing screen, so tltai glance ot (hr "*eltins sun" Is unlike.
