New York, June 8.—“Kins Leopold
In a monumental liar and cut-throat.
I would not be In Leopold's boots foe
the whole world. He has an awful ac
count to render hla Maker."
In thta language Revj Dr.' H.
Naussau characterised (he king of the
Belgians yesterday on his return from
Africa In the White Star steamship
Majestic.
Dr. Nassau Is 70 years old, and has
been In Africa for the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions since 1861,
visiting this country but four times In
the meanwhUe.
"Everything that has been claimed, by
the enemies of the stare traffic," said
Rev. Mr. Nassau, "Is true, but a great
deal has not been told. I think there
would be no slave traffic If there were
no Leopold. He la behind It all.
“When Leopold, through his agents,
denies the existence of the slave traffic,
he Is a monumental liar, as well aa a
cut-throat. I am a clergyman, and I
cannot form words sufficiently strong
to characterise the king of Belgium. I
should have to get a dictionary and
mark oil the words without saying
them. I cannot be profane.
"Leopold denies that outrages are
committed on the helpless natives In
Africa. He knows It to be true, how
ever, and with true diplomacy the oth
er politicians of Europe take his denial
as granted. Leopold sent his own com
mission out to Africa to learn if cer
tain things were true. He expected that
commission to whitewash him. But the
commission confirmed all the stories
that all the traders and travelers told.
"Leopold is the owner of that state;
It Is a personal ownership. When he
dies he will turn It over to Belgluni.
"England will probably stop the
traf
fic. The question is now in parliament.
Mr. E. D. Morrell, an African editor,
Is in England leading the crusade
against Leopold."

sixth annual meeting of tho Georgia
Industrial Association, which was In
session here yesterday, was attended
by seventy-five of the most prominent
cotton mill men of the state. The
meeting was addressed by a number
of prominent men and a feature of the

Imported labor to work In the cotton
fields.

terday afternoon and resulted as fol

Oa: vice president, P. P. Melkleham,

Griffin#
An executive session of the conven
tion was held last night, which con
cluded the program.
Among the speeches delivered at the
afternoon session yesterday were the
following, which were full of interest
and made a good Impression:
"Immigration as the Foundation for
Recurlng Mill Help In the South"—Mr.
M. V. Richards, land and Industrial
agent. Southern Railway, Washington.
D. C.
•The Problems of Labor and Immi
gration In the South and Their Solu
tion"—Hon. E. G. Watson, commission
er stats of South Carolina, department
ot agriculture, commerce and Immigra
tion, Columbia, S. C.
The feature of the Immigration aym-
poalum waa the address of Hon. Frank
P. Sargent, of Washington, commis
sioner general of immigration. He said
that more people waa the need of Oeor-
gta, and that Georgia could gel Immi
gration Juat like other aectlona of the
country had gone to work and got It.
A Remarkable Demonstration in
Shorthand.
Bagwell's Business College, of this
city, has adopted Chartler shorthand,
•aid to be the most remarkable system
of rapid writing ever published.
Mr. L. C. Spencer, one of the pub
lishers, took charge of a claaa Monday,
many of whom never bad studied or
wen shorthand before, and-.after five
■ttys' study many of them write prac
tice matter at the rata of one hundred
word! per minute and read It without
hesitation. A number ot prominent
•'rnographere and court reporters have
attended the demonatratlon during the
Week and witnessed the results obtain
ed by this class, and all pronounce It a
n m elons achievement.
■Let Joy be unCOFFINed” for "we'll

L. Brown to hie coterie ot distinguished
guests on the occasion of hla "fifty-
eighth and last official birthday,” when
there was gathered at hla home, at No.
187 Washington street, a small com
pany of the Intimate friends of this art
connoisseur, member of the American
Bibliophile Society, whose residence
contains treasures collected from the
old and new world, from the Orient
and every quarter of the globe. Sur
rounded by antiques, with priceless
P <w« of art and original manuscripts
piled here end there In almost endless
confusion, Mr. Brown dined his guests,
who sipped wine that had been made
for the kings, while they joined heartily
In the burlesque on the American so
ciety dinner, as this occasion was.
Those Who Were There.
“For they are Jolly good fellows and
that none can deny" waa applied by
Mr. Brown to those who seated them-
eelyes at his dinner table. They were,
In alphabetical order, Reuben Arnold,
BenJ. M. Blackburn, Joseph M. Brown,
Julius L. Brown, Julius A. Fischer,
Dr. Amos Fox, Joseph C. Greenfield,
Dr. J. J. Knott, J. Q. Oglesby, Govern
or Joseph M. Terrell, II. M. Reid and
John R. Wilkinson. From 7 o'clock, the
hour of thd most unusual dinner ever
given In Atlanta, as those present de
clare it was, until the hour of mid
night, when they took leave of their
host, there waa a running fire of Jokes,
there was fun rampant, although Mr.
Brown announced "Sly days are In the
sere and yellow leaf." and the dinner
waa such aa might have been held in
Danle'a chamber of death, with its
somber decorations and Its funeral at
mosphere.
Those who were Invited to celebrate
the occasion of Sir. Brown's "fifty-
eighth and last official" dinner knew
they would enjoy something unusual;
they knew they would be surprised, but
what they saw when they walked from
the brilliantly lighted library to the
dining room Immediately adjolhlng In
the rear of the house was more than
they were prepared for. There was
black here, black there, draped In the
windows and over the furniture; with
dull sliver shining and reflecting back
the little biases from the candles In
every part of the room. There was
no other light. Some of the guests,
the most Ordinary one In the com
pany,- Mr. Brown says, thought he was
being made a part of an Irish wake,
while others, unable to account f6r
the unusual sight, seated themselves
In silence, and looked about them
askance, with glancea half frightened,
and all -to the keen enjoyment of the
host, who, seated at the head of the
table with his brother, Hon. Joseph M.
Brown, the guest of honor, hailed his
friends to make merry and have no
thought of the ’morrow, for 'twas i

In the midst of another world, the
world ot yesterday, yet no more Joyous
gathering ever celebrated than those
guests of Sir. Brown on the evening of
his fifty-eighth birthday.
Skull Beside Each Platt.
Mr. Brown ordinarily uses a square
table, but he wanted hla guests to face
each other, so he had made especially
a round table, over which waa placed
a black velvet tablecloth. At each cover
was placed one of the black dinner
cards, together with a figure of a Gib
son girl on another card. A skull waa
also by the aide of each plate, while
suspended from the center of the chan

pedestal sat the figure of a monk
draped In black. Candlee were at

for every course of the dinner. With

snuffed out, this being continued

Th# Joke on the Governor.
There were many side amusements
for all, and on Governor Terroll was
perpetrated a Joke, which surprised him
and amused all. A telephone on the
wall rang, the servant announced that
some one wanted the governor. The
latter picked up the receiver and to his
amazement the box of the Instrument
opened and there was displayed a
choice collection of rare old wines,
while a music box aitachmtnt played,
"We Sleet Again."
Though politics were barred. Govern-
or Terrell was made Ihe butt of the
Jokes. Everything he would pick up
he would find to be a music box—
and finally, when at the hour of 11 he
announced that he had promised his
wife to be home early, a bottle of
sherry wipe, of the vintage of 17S0,
was presented to hie excellency. After
all the guests had been permitted to
taste of this rare wine, Its history was
given by Mr. Brown, who said that but
three caske of the wine had been
made, and only for royal use. though
one of these casks had

and very strong, so Ordinary Wilkin
