He referred to the possibility of Bry an’s nomination and election, and •*- pre.sed himself aa heartily In favor of It. Judge Blount referred to the Bacon resolutions, and stated that had terv been passed by the senate when the Paris treaty was ratified In lit! the outbreak of lift would have been «fe- venttd. The gravest charge which was brought against the administration by the a|ienker was that the local constab ulary III trying to rid the Islands of banditti are pursuing the same policy of reconrentratlon which made Wey let's name a word of hatred and re proach In Cuba lit 1S97, and by this means thousands of Innocent people are subjected to the grossest outrages and the loss of their property without due process of law.

THE FIRST AUTHENTIC PICTURE OF MARIE CORELLI, AUTHORESS ■ mm First authentic portrait of Marie Corelli, which the English author furnished for her latest novel, but would not permit English newspaper* to reproduce. Hpeclnl Csble—Copyright. London, Aug. 14.—The long drawn nut tight which Mies Marie Corelli has been making to protect her personal modesty and at the same time not In terfere with the publicity of her Action, has taken a,new turn with the publlcu (Ion of her latest book, ”T(ie Treasures of Heaven,” which has just been given to the booksellers. , At last shs ho* condescended, at the special request of the publishers, Ar chibald Constable A .Co., to allow a real photograph of herself to*go before the public. It appears ah the frontispiece of the new book, which Is her sixteenth. Even more- surprising, as a bit of vanity, Is the "author’s note,” which goes with the frontispiece In the Eng- Ish edition of "The Treasures of Heaven.” She declares that u portrait of herself was taken In the spring of this year and she explains her reel ings about It. Mist Corelli on Physiognomist. "I am somewhat reluctant," the rites, "to seo It so placed, because It has nothing whatever to do with the story, which Is told In the following pages, bsyond being a faithful likeness of the uutllbr, who Is responsible for this and many other previous books which huve had the good fortune to meet with a friendly reception from the rending public. Moreover. 1 am not quite able to convince myself i*.at ipy pictured personality can hijve any in terest for my reudeis, as It ligi al ways seemed to me that an author’s real being Is more disclosed tn hi* or her work limn in any portrayed pre sentment of mere physiognomy. "But, owing to the fact that various rose, and 1 think 1 may say libellous, .ictltlous misrepresentations of me have been freely and uuwarrantedly circulated throughout Great Britain, the colonies and America by certain lower' sections of the .pictorial press, which, with a zeal worthy I a I,'Her and kinder cause, have striven by this means io alienate my- readers from me. It appears to my publishers ad visable that an authentic likeness of myself, as 1 truly am today, shuu'.d now be Issued. In order to prevent any further misleading of the public by fraudulent Inventions." Then Mies Corelli tells how she con cealed her identity from the London photographers for whom she posed, by using the name’of a "lady friend” and having the various proofs tijnt to her uddress. Snapped at an Ordinary Person. "That I thus elected to be photo graphed as an unknown rather than a known person,” Miss Corelli explains further, "was In older that no extra pains should be taken In my behalf, but that I should be treated just as an ordinary stranger would be treated, with no leaa, but at the same time cer tainly no mors cars." "For tbe benefit of those who may feel any. rurther curiosity on the sub ject,” Miss Corelli writes that no tor- traits In any way resembling her have been published, anywhere, with the ex ception or a picture taken In her own house by an unmteur photographer. This remarkable "note" ends thus: "My objection to this sort of ’pict ure popularity’ has already been pub licly slated, and I here repeat and em phasise It. And I venture to ask my readers who have so generously en couraged mo by their warm and con stant appreciation of my literary ef fort!, to try and underatand the spirit 1 In which the objection Is made.

He had Ms own clean-cut conceptions of the subject, and spiritedly addressed himself to the development of the same. At tha Supreme Moment. "I am a great believer In the Scrip tural ‘fulness of time.’ The Conner agricultural college bill was brought forward at the supreme moment. ‘‘The history of the bill In the house Interests one deeply. I do not recall a measure, except the Gordon statue bill, which had so little promise, so little "vpe of success, on the day It was lied up. A whls] house that the bil molest chance of even a complimentary vote. Indeed, the committee on agri culture reported It favorably more out of regard for Colonel Perry’s Intense earnestness than for any other reason. It was gravely suggested that the bill might stand In the way of the 'greater 1 agricultural college to which the whdle people are looking with so great ex pectancy. "The fact U we have gone back to first principles—educating from the top down. However much the plan may be animadverted against. It Is capable of most sBtstfactory results, as shown by the pest In this state. An Early Impetus. "In 1131 the general assembly ap propriated half a million dollars for the establishment of an academy of high grade In each county In the state. The academies capped the sys tem of classical schools which flour ished In the country sparse and In the city full. They were a connecting link between those schools and the colleges of the state. They afforded boys and girls, rapidly approaching their ma- orlty, opportunity to obtain a train- ng which stood them In hand for self- culture, If It so chanced they had not the means to go to some college or university. "The thought In those days was that > to the great body of the people the state would aid the children of thoa* only who could not themselves edu- cate them. The state provided In a measure for the few through the agen cy of the academies. The classical schools, referred to, were, nf course, private schools, but thousands of wor. thy and ambitious boys and girls whose parents could not contribute a penny to those schools, were permit- ted to drink at the fountain and later by Ihslr career, honored the courtesy extended them. Educated th* Massts. "That system of education did this for Georgia. Through the few who were carefully trained and fully equipped she"educated the masses; that la, thoroughly informed them on all public questions—the genius of a re publican form of government, the rights of the states In the territories, the rights which the states yielded to the general government and the great and Indestructible right of local self, government which the states reserved to themselves. "That system of schools turned out young men, who, If they were ambi tious of becoming soldiers, were sel dom, If ever, rejected at West Point, except for physical disability. That fact alone tells of ths thoroughness of the work done in those schools. ‘‘The Perry bill proposes an agri cultural school In each congressional district, and appropriates the* fees from the Inspection of fertilizers, oil, etc., except such amounts now other wise appropriated. "The concession of the fertilizer fees was most striking evidence of the gradual and masterful hold which the bill took upon the house aa the debate progressed. It Is rarely that speeches control In the disposition of a bill In coses where the house manifests, at the outset, a persuasion unfavorable to the measure. Debate did shape and make the destiny of the Perry bill. Hew the Lew Will Opsrats, / The agricultural schools will bs called Into existence one after another. The most active congressional district will take the lead. It may be a year or two years before another district will attempt the work. But, one by one. Inspired by the success of others, each district will organize a school of agriculture. ‘‘These schools will be the cap-stone of the common schools of the several districts. They will constitute an In spiration and an Invitation to the more ambitious boys and glrta to come up higher. They will lead to the state college of agriculture hundreds who would never cherish the hope of reach ing that Institution. They will lead not a few to the other college! of the state. They will equip thousands for the battle of life. Will Raise ths Browk of Children. ”1 said of the Connor bill not Ion* ago that It would raise the brow of every Georgia farmer an Inch. I say of the Perry bill that It will raise the brow of every Georgia boy and girl In the country wide an Inch—giving them new hope and blessing them with an Inspiration that will be uplifting and triumphant. „ .... ”1 sincerely trust that the Perry bill will eo favorably Impress the senate that that body will paea It by a unan imous vote. j "This done, with what the legisla ture haa already done at this session lit furtherance of agricultural education, Georgia will stand before her slater states of the South an exemplar of high rank—truly a great state.
