THE GRADY’ SUMMER SCHOOL The following constitutes the faculty. They are all teachers of large experience and success: Professor J. H. Callaway, A. M., ident Douglasville College, Latin and Greek. Rev. Julins Magath, of Emory, college, French, German and Hebrew. M. L. Parker, A. M., of Alexander free school, mathematics. / Morgan Callaway, jr., Ph.D. of Uni versity of Texas, English. 1 .. THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT. / The famous Weber band has beefi|en gaged for the entire season, and ..will bring attractions superior to those former session of the Chautauqua. Miss Gertrude Morgan, of Tenn., but recent teacher.and pianist in the Douglasville College, has been en gaged as pianist and accompanist. Miss Morgan took the first medal in the mu sical department in college at Cleveland, Tenn., and at the Conservatory of Music in Ohio. Her musical attainments are of the very highest character; to her na tural endowments she has added the best advantages under finest instructions this country affords. Miss Eula Stubbs, of Cedartown, Ga., has been engaged as assistant pianifit of the Chautauqua. Miss' Stubbs is noted for her aptitude in music; her training is of the very best; the most prominent teachers and composers of the South have taught her; Prof. Snow, Prof. i These you? g Iftriies ' are the best masl- i, Ihe quai-tet consists of the following L character in musical circles: I Mrs. J. TF. Callaway, soprana. Miss Ethol V. Richards, alto. 1 Mr. Melton, tenor. Mr. Bitgood, bass. Soloists—Miss Carabel Heidt and Miss The quartet will also sing as soloists'. V.ocal and instrumental music will also be taught, and sight singing., DEPARTMENT OF ELOCUTION. This department will be under the management of Miss Margaret E. John ston, a lady of large experience and rare qualifications as a teacher. She will or ganize classes and teach the Del Sarte system. The Kindergarten school will be con ducted by Misses Allen and Reynolds, who are well known as successful kin dergarteners. The art department will be in charge of Miss Hattie Anderson, who will teach oil painting, crayon, pastel, china paint ing; also, portraiture in crayon and pas tel, object drawing in charcoal, and mak ing newspaper cuts by the chalk plate process. The C. L. S. C. Round Table will hold daily sessions, and will be presided over by an accomplished scholar. It is hoped • that great interest will be manifested in this special Chautauqua work. Besides the foregoing tKere will be added many other attractions at Chautauqua; a Musical Institution and class in vocal and instrumental music; and daily additions to each day’s pro gram. Some of the most important fea tures in the program are riot yet closed, but will be in a short time, and due no tice given through the public press. It is safe to say, that this year’s attrac tions will be by far the most entertaining of any yet at the Piedmont Chautauqua. The grounds are in fine trim,* and everything in perfect readiness for the great opening musical department will be filled with the best select musicians that can be found. No one can afford to stay away from the Chautauqua. Make your arrange ments as quickly as possible to attead. Every day the program will be as full as it is possible to make it. Three hotels, Chautaqua restaurant, and a number of private boarding houses near the grounds. Board can be had at from sls to $75 per month, to suit your own convenience.

Ezekiel Ixnnax, the wife murderer, was hanged at Bainbridge, Ga. There were, 12) members present at the meeting of the Alabama Press asso ciation at Anniston. T. L. McClung, ’92, of Knoxville, Tenn., has been elected captain of the Yale university baseball nine for the ensuing year. Mrs. Jones, while sitting in a Queen Anne cottage, Norfolk,Va., with a child on her lap, was struck by lightning and both were instantly killed. At Kansas City, Jefferson A, Harlowe, a letter carrier, slept near an open win dow with the moon shining upon his face. When he awoke he was totally blind, John M. Moring, who i'n 1878 was speaker of the lower house of the state legislature, died suddenly of heart fail ure at his home at Pittsboro, N. C., aged 50 years. Governor Fifer, of Illinois, has signed the bill enabling women to vote for all school officers. Twenty-six of the forty four states have now given women some form of suffrage. The Ozburn case still furnishes sensa tion for Atlanta. It is now probable that he will be given a trial before the supreme court to determine finally his mental condition. The cornerstone of the Equitable. building, ir course Os erection in At lanta, was laid with imposing ceremo nies. This will be the largest office structure in the south. C. Millican, a well known business man at Anniston, Ala., deliberately took his own life by shooting himself through the head. There is no authentic cause known for the desperate act. The grand jury of Pulaski county, Ark., returned an indictment against .ex-State Treasurer Woodruff for the embezzlement of state funds. Wood ruff was immediated placed under ar rest., In the Columbia college university of Pennsylvania and Cornell university 3- mile boat race, Cornell won, time 1:271,• Pennsylvania second, by four lengths, time 14:45; Columbia, a bad third in 15,051. Frank Troupe and Dave Rhodes, col ored boys, quarrelled in Kansas City over the respective merits of Sullivan and Slavin. Rhodes struck Troupe on ths head with a club, inflicting a fatal injury. Emperor William, while presiding at a ministerial council announced that he had devised a scheme for a lottery by which he lipped to obtain eight million death. The finishing department of the Ala bama Rolling mills, at Gate City, near Birmingham, was burned in the after noon. The loss is estimated at $20,000. Two hundred men were thrown out of employment for sixty days. In the chamber of deputies at Madrid the minister of colonies stated that the commercial convention with the United States was complete, though some small details remained to be attended to before the signatures could be appended. At Newark, 0., Clay Tanner has filed suit in the court of common pleas against Dr. E. Vail, a leading physician, asking $19,000 damages for malpractice, alleg ing that defendant failed to properly set a broken limb, thus rendering plaintiff a cripple for life. The Alliance platform adopted at Grand Forks, N. D., makes no mention of the Cincinnati platform. It demands a 100 cent silver dollar and the taxation of mortgages, and favors an income tax, prohibition and woman suffrage. The Alliance also endorses the Ocala plat form. At Piney Creek, some few miles from Altoona, Pa., Robert Calbert -was drill ing out a blast it exploded. A sixteen foot drill was driven twelve feet through his breast. The remaining four feet were pulled through the wound with difficulty, and yet he lived twenty minutes. t . The 5-year-old son of Robert Cotton of Bellefontaine, 0., while playing in his father’s mill fell into a wheat bin. The wheat elevators completely denuded his legs from the feet to the knees of every particle of flesh, leaving the bones bare and glistening. Recovery is almost impossible. The Canadian Pacific steamer Empress of Japan, which arrived at Vancouver, ten days and twenty-one hours out from Yokohama, made the fastest run ever made across the Pacific; beating by eighteen hours that of her sister ship Empress of India, which had previously broken the record. The sudden resignation of Professor Amandon of Drury college, Springfield, was a surprise. A greater surprise came to light when it was discovered that he had absconded after securing endorse ments far alx>ut $1,300 by bis fellow proses-ors. Nearly every member of the faculty has been victimized. The Empress of Japan brings the fol lowing advices from China and Japan: Taudolotsudo Sango, the police officer who attempted the life of the czarowitz, was tried in the district court at Otsu an the 17th found guilty of an at tempt to i commit Willful murder and sentenced to imprisonment for life at hard labor. A report comes from Cherokee county, North Carolina, of a tearible cloudburst there late in the afternoon. Two illicit distillers. Mamed Harvey Agnew and Jacob Newton, who happened to be near by, were instantly killed. A numlier of farms for miles below were inundated, and growin? crops suffered a loss of sev eral thousand dollars. 1891. JULY. 1891. Su. Mo. Tu.

How mU'fli' is Ja; w-m Lj* Hisconfcempora ries, associates and crit ics put him down at about $150,000,000. I suppose it is not much exaggerated. We know, who are brokers and in the bank ing business here, the influence of his ready money. He has got the best mon ey in the country; it is all liquid money. What do you mean by liquid money? Money which flows like a liquid—like quicksilver, according to tjie inclina tion, up or down. The Astors, for ex ample, do not have liquid money;Their money is in real estate, upon which they could not realize in tight times as well as in easy times. Dut Gould’s money is here in time of panic as readily as in flush times. Almost any time he can withdraw from the market $12,000,000, or can keep it loaned. Now, the bank surplus is only $10,000,000. So you see the pro digious power’ that money his t in the mere ebb and flow of it. When Mr. Gould withdraws it, as he is said to do, though 1 have no knowledge on the sub ject, the times are terribly tight here. Up goes the rate of interest. Men with obligations are ready to pay almost any thing. This money com’es to him in the nature of his property. His property is always earning money in cash, if he resolves to purchase soiqe costly piece of property, like the Union Pacific railroad, he may put his money out to let interest accumulate upon it. He is not, however, a money lender in the sense of Russell Sage, who lends money to earn money. Mr. Gould lends money with an object in view, in the nature of a large merchant. Yet he is without the conditions of such a man—a polite person. A friend of mine not long ago bor rowed $1,000,600 from him in the midst of the panic. This man did not concedl his temporary necessity, but said to Mr. Gould, or rather wrote to him, that whatever interest he was minded to ask would be satisfactory. He says that Gould said to him, “Go along until you get through, and we will see about the rate then.” When they came to settle all that Gould asked him was otdinary interest-Ml per cent. Such things he does quietly without further remark, and hence many persons who are not very intimate with him, but have had exchanges of that kind to take place, think of him with as much respect as they speak of him. It must’be remembered, however, that i iiWAaiaut in ittßwpurtation.--“G>ih” in I The street between the wall and the hotel was called the club room of Zer matt, and it was there that my feelings of respect for the cliffs and precipices of the Matterhorn perished. For there 1 heard the story,of the fat German hauled like a log up the peak by four guides, the rope tied around liis waist and fastened to Ins feet withaslip knot, and he swing ing from rock to rock, suspended thou sands of feet in the air and they never bothering to look at him; and of the Italian count who made the ascent with seven guides in front, seven behind, and one man to keep his legs straight against the rocks; and of the boy of fourteen fol- ’ lowing in the train of the conqueror; and of the woman reaching the top, and then, as the guides literally ran her down, quietly sleeping all the way back from the lower hut until the bells of the little church in Zermhtt awoke her. And yet even the cynics who laughed at these tales could be stirred into a show of enthusiasm, and more than once were we roused from our first sleep by the ringing cheers with which the men at the Monte Rosa greeted the return of the last hero of the Matterhorn. And, after all, there are certain perils which the ex ploiters of the Alps cannot wholly coun teract.—Century. Ostentation at Funerals. It is a sad commentary on a Christian community, which takes that distinctive title from- a religion whose founder is called the Consoler because his word plucks the sting from death, that it sur rounds death with every circumstance of woe and gloom. The distinctive minis try of the faith seems to fail at the very point to which it is especially addressed. The natural Christian tone at the burial of the dead would seem to be the cheer that springs from the thought of immor tality—a sublime hope, '* tender resigna tion. The Christian thought in that hour should instinctively dwell upon the soul, not upon the body, and the simplest and most unostentatious rite of burial would seem to be the most truly Christian. But the ostentation of Christian funerals has become so great that burial reform asso ciations are formed, both in this country and in England, to relieve the poor of the painful and needless coat which, from mistaken respect for the dead, they will not spare so long as ostentation is the custom.—George William Curtis in Harper’s. The I .urge National Cemeteries. The biggest of the eighty-two national cemeteries are at Andersonville, Ga., with 13,702 dead; Arlington, Va., with 16,350; Chalmette, La.,with 12,620; Chat tanooga, Tenn., with 13,023; Fredericks burg.

J NUMBER 22. Written in Ponder Marks. Every now, and then I see an old man ■ walking down Pennsylvania avenue with lus head bent in thought, paying little flttentibu to the people he passes, but stopping now and then to look into a store window, or to look at the portraits displayed in front of toe photograph gal leries which abound on that street. At fii’st glance there is nothing particularly striking in his appearance. He is slen der and not above medium height, and dresses in clothes of a sort of brownish gray color. A sandy gray beard hangs in a point over his shirt front, and he always wears a derby hat. But if he turns his face full toward you your attention is at once attracted by a mass of blue spots thickly pepper ing his cheeks, eyelids and forehead, which indicate that he has literally smelt powder—smelt it in close quar ters. Big grains of the deadly explosive have been driven deep into his flesh. It was a bursting shell from the ram Mer rimac that so marked him for life, and the mouth of the gun was not far from his face, for they fought in close quar ters. Probably not one person out of a thousand who pass him on toe avenue knows who he is; he is almost lost to sight and perhaps little thought of, but he is among the very last of the great commanders of the war who still linger. He is Admiral Worden, who com manded the Monitor, defeating the Mer rimac, which threatened the destruction of the United States fleet a.t Hampt&n ' / roads. The shot that scarred him/ was J fired fairly against the peepholy'in the turret of the Monitor at which he had n his eye watching the course of the ves sel. He lives very quietly here in rather a fine house on K street It is difficult to get him to say* anything about him self or about the battle in which he won distinction. He eschews all articles of dress which would indicate his profes sion.—Washington Letter*. _ Gazelles and Unman Sentiment. In the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, in a fine grassy inclosure, is a group of tiny animals, the smallest antelopes known. They will come, about the size of so many cats, close behind their low wire grating, and stand and doubtfully gaze up at yuu with enormous liquid eyes. And such is the effect of their littleness, their timorousness, their almost absurd delicacy—so small, so delicate, tihose lit tle, little hoofs, those little ten Al’ limbs, those fragile fawn colored sides, little humid twitching muzzle; so small.N and yet so keenly, tremulously per ceptive and so intensely sensitive; so to look upon those miniature living things, with toe quite inofdmate, frailfty of their body and the disproportionate bigness of their eyes. ( Symbols or suggestions of huAanityrs every aspect may, one fancies Jbe dis covered in animal craatioii. *And I think those antelopes are £yft>H>ls of a state of soul rare enough . among men, and yet too frequent.—Edward Delille in Fortnightly Review. A Soap for Metal Work. The soaps used for cleaning metal work usually copsist of mixtbeas of vase : line, oleic acid and fat, mixed ’.With a small quantity of rougo. When freshly prepared they leave nothing to be de sired. But unfortunately such mixtuf-rsL ■ soon turn rancid, and become unfit for use. X A soap for metal work, which is stated to be free from this objection, is made from cocoanut butter in the following way: 2.5 kilogrammes of the butter are melted in an iron vessel together with a little water, and to the mixture is added, with constant stirring, 180 grammes of chalk, 87.5 grammes of alum, 87.5 grammes of cream of tartar and 87.5 grammes of white lead. This mixture is then poured into moulds and allowed to solidify. The 1 soap so obtained is made into a paste with water and rubbed over the metal to lie cleaned, and finally removed by a dry rag or'cliamois leather. —Manufact- urer. 1 Court Room Fright. A. genuine case of fright was devel oped a few days ago when Charles Darr, of Colerain pike, entered the court house for the purpose of testifying in the case of Thomas 8. Strahan versus Isabella , Watson before Jtfdge Bates and a jury. Mr. Darr thus made his first appearance in court. When he reached the large entrance to the building, and the great stairway loomed up before his startled gaze, Mr. Darr’s teeth rattled like casta nets. As he slid up stairs on the elevator several buttons dropped from his clothes, so hard did he shiver and shake. As he traveled the long corridor leading to the court room poor Darr was completely rattled, and a series z of shrill screams issued from his lips. In order to prevent the man going insane from childish fright he was excused, and he made tracks for his country home at a rate that would defy the best efforts of a fly ing machine. —Cincinnati Enquirer. The Oldest Epitaph. The oldest epitaph in English, which is found in a churchyard in Oxfordshire, and dates from the year 1370, to modem readers would be unintelligible, not only from its antique typography, but from its obsolete language, the first two lines of which run as follows, and may be taken as a sample of the whole: “Man com & se how schal alle dede bo: wen yow comes bad & bare: noth hav ven we away fare: all yewerines yt ve for care.” p The modenj reading would be: “Man, come and see how shall all dead be, when you come poor and bare; nothing have, when we away fare: All is weariness that ' we for care.”—Comhill Magazine.
