CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A MEETING IN FAVOR OF HIGHER
EDUCATION.
More Liberal Lea-ialative Approprla
tions Recommended— A Yountr Man
Sentenced to Serve Five Years for
Betraying a Girl—Charles Hamilton
Failed to Answer When Hie Case
Was Called.
Atlanta. Ga.. April3s.—A call was re
eently issued by Chancellor Boggs of the
state university, for a conference here to
day of the friend* of higher education and
common school*, to discuss the best means
of promoting both. The coaference was
held in the Senate chamber this morning,
and there were present: Chancellor Bogg*.
President Hopkins of the schcxrt of tech
nologE: J bn I. Hall of Griffin, chairman of
the Senate committee ou education: C. M.
Candler of DeKalb, chairman of the Hoie
committee on education; Representative
Calvin of Richmond, representative* of the
branch colleges at Mi'.ledgevilie and C'uth
bert. Dr. Gbddtngs, dean of the Augusta
Medical college: State School Commis
sioner Hook, J. Hammond, S. 11, In
man and Dr. H, V. M- Muller.
After considerable discussion, resolutions
were aiopted the conference to
active efforts to induce the legislature to
make more liberal appropriations to the
university, branch oollegeaand the common
schools, and a committee was appointed to
draft a memorial to the legcilature on the
snbject. Chancellor Boggs in a speech ad
vocated the establishment of a branch col
lege in each congressional district, but no
vote was taken on that proposition.
HE BETRAYED A OIRL.
A sensational trial has boeu in progress
in the superior cowt for three days, in
which Charlie VVilby, a well-known young
man, was charged with the betrayal
and desertion of a young girl he
was engaged to marry. Many features
of the case enlistee public sympathy
for the girl and her mother, who was with
her m the court room. The jury found
Wilby guilty, and Judge Clark to-day sen
tenced him to five years in the penitentiary.
HAMILTON’S < ASE.
The case against Charios Hamilton for
assault with intent to murder was called in
the superior court to-day and Hamilton
failed to answer. He wan under #2,500
bond, which was forfeited. Burton Smith,
Hamilton's lawyer, claims that his failure
to be hero was due to a misapprehension as
to the day for the trial. Thu forfeiture will
be set aside and Hamilton will be here when
the case is called again.
FALLOT THE WALLS.
The coroner’s jury held an inquest over
the bodies of Firemen Leach and Howell
this afternoon. After reciting the manner
of their death the verdict recommends that
tb w ails of the Jackson building ho pulled
down immediately after condemned, and
sharply criticises the city ordinance allow
ing property owners fourteen days to pull
down dangerous walls after they are con
demned. The city was canvassed to-day
for subscriptions to a fund for the destitute
families of the dead firemen. They met
with liberal responses everywhere, and
several thousand dollars will probably be
raised.

lbe Baptists of tho United States hare
seven theological seminaries, including one
in Richmond for colored young men. The
total value of the property of these is re
ported at $8,019,403. There are thirty-four
universities and co.leges, of which eleven
have propertv wortn upward* of 1350.090
each. There is a list of thirty-two female
seminaries, fortv-two academies for both
sexes and seventeen other ms.itutions for
the colored race and Indians. There are
fourteen homes for the aged, orphanage,
etc., with property to the value of $.533,000
and endowments to the amount of $392,-
The Baptists have forty-nine weekly
paper? in the United States, with a corre
sponding number of montaly end quarterly
periodicals. There are over twenty journals
issued by the colored Baptist*. The Ger
man Baptists, who number nearly 15,000,
have four periodicals, while the Scandi
navian Baptists anl the Welsh Baptists
have one each.
The Baptist* of the northern states do
their missionary work through the Ameri
can Missionary Union (foreign), with bead
quarters in Boston, the American Baptist
Home Mission Society, whose rooms are in
New York, and the American Baptist Pub
lication Souiety, whose offices are in Phila
delphia.
The Southern Baptist convention, with its
foreign and homewards, was organized in
1345 as the result of differences on the ques
tion of slavery. The old estrangements
have now nearly all disappeared : but there
is no move toward a reunion, as the terri
tory is so lscge and the constituency so
great that a single organisation would be
inconveniently large. The American Bap
tist Education Society, organized a year
ago, is made up of all sections. The colored
Baptist* have general organizations of their
own.
The Baptists of the Dominion of Canada
report 77,310 member*. In the Weat Indies
there are 40.925, mostly colored: in Great

who are as truly members of the denomina

KILLING OF MAY HAWES. |
THE TRIAL OF HER FATHER STILL
ON AT BIRMINGHAM.
Cross Examining "Has Failed to Shake
the Testimony as Yet—The Prosecu
tion Proceeding on the Theory That
the Child Wee Smothered Before
Thrown Into the Lake.
Birmingham. Ala., April 25.—There is
no abatement of interest in the tnal of
Dick Hawes for the murder of his little
daughter May. The prisoner shows more
and more interest and fueling as witness
after witness goes upon the stand and re
peats without variation the stories told by
the newspapers at the time of the tragedy,
and which led to a universal belief in Hawes'
guilt. The cross-examinations so far have
not shaken any of the testimony, though
the counsel for the defense are contesting
every inch of ground and consuming much
time over every fine point. The leading
counsellor Hawes is Col. Taliaferro, form
erly speaker of the Tennessee House of
Representatives. The associate couuiel are
Col. Mclntosh, formerly of Meridian, Miss.,
an dFrauk Barnett. Solicitor Hawkins i
assisted by Judge Denison and Solicitor
Charles Ferguson of the circuit court. The
case ison trial in the criminal court, pre
sided over by Judge Green.
THEORY OR THE PROSECUTION.
The theory of tne prosecution is that
Hawes murdered May on Monday evening
by smothering her, and afterward tossed
her bidy into the lake, where it was found
the next morning. The defense is making
an effort to show that death was caused
from drowning, and th t the body must
have lieeti in the water several day* before
it could have risen.
The first wtiness called this morning was
I.eslie, the undertaker who embalmed tbe
body, and who testified yesterday. Hi had
punctured the stomach in embalming, but
no water, and little gas, had escaped. Cor
oner Babbitt was recalled and testified to
having noticed an abrasion on the nose and
cheek, when the body was first discovered.
TESTIMONY RULED OUT.
Julia Campbell knew Hawes’ family. A
question a* to whether she was at Lake
View when Mrs. Hawes’ body was found
was objected to by Col Taliaferro. The
jury was sent out wnile the question of
admissibility was argued. Toe defense
insisted that the murder of Mr*. Hawes, if
she was murdered, had nothing
to do with the case, and the prose
cution contended that the previous murder
ot Mrs. Hawes, and tbo fact that May knew
of it, was competent as showing a motive
for tho murder of May. Judge Green ruled
it incompetent, though he said be might
admit it later on, if its relevancy should
appear.
A woman who was at his house.
Barah Lett (colored) was at Hawes’ house
Monday evening, before May’s body was
found the next day. Hawes, May and
Fannie Bryant were there. Hawe* told
May to tell Fannie g lod-by and come with
him. Ho then took May by the band and
they went nwav. She then identified the hat
found on the dead girl as one May had on that
evening. On cross examination as to
whether she knew Hawes, she said she had
seen him two or three times. She identified
him positively where he sat among his at
torneva. It was dark before Hawes and
May had gone away together on that Mon
day evening.
saw them start.
Elijah Gordon lived r.esr Fannie Bryant's
house at the time of the Hawes tragedy.
On Monday evening late, the night before
the body was found, he saw May Hawes at
Fannie’s house. Shortly after 7 o’clock he
*aw Hawes come into Fannie’s house,
get May and take her out, goi lg
off toward the dummy line. Hawes
told May to tell Fannie good-by, which the
child did, and Fannie told the child she
must be a good girl. Ou cross-examination
he wa* positive it was not 8, but a little
after 7 o’clock. He wa* uncertain about
Hawes’ clothing.
RODE ON THE DUMMY LINE.
R. M. Brown, a conductor ou tbe Lake
View dummy line, said that one night
shortly before ha heard of the finding of
the body, a geutlemau and a little girl got
on his dummy at Lake View, ride into
town with tho little girl, and held her close
to the stove. The man’s tenderness
attracted his attention. He thought
the defendant was the same
man. He thought this was ou
Ha turday night, but was not positive. Ho
had run on the train Friday, Saturday,
Sunday aud Monday nights. Lake View
was a square or two from Hawes’ house.
He thought the time of hi* tram wa* be
tween 6 aud 7 o’clock.
LOOKED LIKE THE HAT.
F. B. Lawler came iu from just this side
of bike View on Monday before the body
was found the next morning. He noticed
wliau he got on the dummy that a man and
little girl wore there already, and that the
man was very careful of tho little girl’s
comfort. The little girl was well dressed
and had on a straw hat which he thought
was the same as the one shown him and
found with the body. He went
and viewed the body the next day,
and his opinion was that it was that
of the little girl he had seen
in the dummy. He picked out the defend
ant and thought he was the same man. It
was the 6 :MU o'clock dummy. At the con
clusion of Lawler’s testimony, Juror Dunlap
was i ukcu sick, and the court adjourned till
to-morrow.
Tho progress of tho case is rather slow.
Col. Taliaferro’s cross examinations are long
ana searching.

College Girls Who W 11 Found a Colony
in the Slums.
( O* i/yr.y'. f Secured.)
New York, April 20.—They waresaeet
faced girls and grace us young matrons of
not many moons’ standing show rather
sober eyes softened and brightened and
sparkled with fun over some of Mark
Twain’s characteristic comicalities. The
scene was a Fifth avenue drawing room,
and maids and matron* belonged to one of
the largest women’s ciu&s and by odd: tbe
most interesting in the country, that com
prising more thm 1,000 graduates from the
colleges admitting women, tbe association
of Collegiate Alutnnas. Women’s clubs,
they say, never, meet except for a purpose
aud tbe object of this assemblage was the
raising of money for the initial expenses of
the college settlement among the slums.
Rivingtou rtrest, do you know it?
It run* three block* above Grand street
and parallel to that great trade ertery of
the east side. It starts among the lumber
yard* of the East river. It narrows and
narrows and the dingy brick tenement
blocks lift their gr med and gloomy walls
three stories, four; stories, five stories
high. They are not cheerful
things to see. Fronting it and its envi
rons there are front tenements and rear
tenements, dark unesthetic courts, broken
pavements,rickety steps and rows upon rows
of wind jws from which heads are lolling in
the broiling days of midsummer, twenty
hours out of the twenty tour. There are
queer little basement groceries where coal
is sold by the half scuttle and butter i3
bought by the quarter pound. There are
children, swarms of children, bred as fast
as the rabbits in Australia.
Would you like to live there?
“It’s not an extreme, merely an average
tenement house district. Tnere are women
whose backs were bent at 5 years old car
rying baby brothers, who earned their
bread winding bobbins aud picking out bast
ings at 7 years olu, woo married at 15
years old, who were heavy-eyed, wrinkle 1
and tired at 25 years old. Would you, well
born, well cherished, with tastes de..landing
the finest and the daintiest, in the young
flush of womanhoxi with all its possibili
ties before you, would you like to make
yourself a neighbor r:f these other women?
Would you breathe the air that they
breathe, bound your horizon by the sights
of squalor which they look out ou, ho .se
yourself in one of their houses, surround
yourself with their social atm 'sphere, make
their interests your interests, their lives
your life, and all to be —neighborly?
This is what some half dozen or more of
the younger college women are proposing,
1 confess that it seems to me a very risky
experiment; “bat,” says the leader of these
college maidens, “in the country you can
have neighbors, in tho fine street* of the
cities you have not any, but among the
tenements you find the n ngaiu.
Toynbee Hall, the Universities settlement
in East Loudon, is tbe model after which
this colony of college women i* to be pat
terned. Last summer 1 spent two afternoons
getting some superficial acquaintance with
the work and life of the Oxford men
among the Engli-ih slums. It seemed to
the only example thus far on record of the
meeting ot different social classes in constant
daily iucercourse on terms likely to be help
ful to both and comprising the self-respect
of neither. The Oxford men make them
selves the s]um-dwei!ers’ neighbors they go
about their own business, they make ac
quaintances as it may happen, on terms of
perfect social equality. TTiey organize
classes for nobody, they make no profession
of philanthropic designs on anybody’s
peace. They make their house a pleasant
place for neighbors to drop in on them and in
simple and natural fashion—the neighbors
themselves couldn’t tell how it is accom
plished—everybody become* interested in
pleasant schemes of a cooperative sort for
the neighborhood’s amusement, progress iu
comfort, growth in intelligence aud general
weil being.
This is precisely what the American col
lege settlement wishes to accomplisn, only
as social evolution in every direction is
guided so largely in this country by bands
that are feminine, this Rivington street
colony will be peopled by girls.
There was a protry group at the lunch
hour in a fashionable private school the
other day, blight figures with fluffy hair
smiled over glasses of milk, hovered" about
t ups of bouillon, fluttered tins way and that,
bright with ribbons, gav with roses and
violets in their buttonholes, chattering after
the universal fashion of sohoolgirls. The
center or the group was a young woman of
whom, if I dared, I would say she had won
derfully winning, questioning eyes; but the
college young woman ns a rule —and I think
she’s right about it—will forgive you some
crimes rather than a compliment or a laud
ation of her gown. And this young woman
was Miss Jeannette Gurney Fine, who
graduated from Smith college in the class
of ’BB, who ha* combined for the last year
or two days of teaching with evenings of
study of sociologic questions by practical
work in the neighborhood guilds among
the Forsyth street tenements, aud who
will be the leader of the Rivington street
colony.
Associated with her will be graduates of
Vassar, Cornell and Syracuse universities,
and other wo. lien’s colleges. They wtll take
a matron with them to oversee the house
keeping end of their establishment and lend
her advice in practical difficulties. They
will take their pet treasures of pictures and
embroidery' and bric-a-brao, pack their
books and their cherished art examples and
try to live, with youthful euthusiasm, up to
a high social ideal.
“But how will the colonists busy them
selves.” it occurred to me to ask, “so as not
to seam to be intruding in place* where
they have no concern?”
All this, so far a* can be provide! be
forehand. has been thought, out carefully
and arranged.
Home of the young women will have out
side occupations taking th-m away from
Rivington street during the forenoon. They
will be livii g among the poor a* the poor
live tnemselves, regularly engaged and de
voting only their leisure to tne colony.
Others will lie going ou with course*of post
graduate or professional study. If a
wo mu u should want, to be a doctor she could
find few residence situs ions better calcu
lated to quicken her zal in the direction of
household sanitation.
Was study, it was queried, a business
which the tenement people would respect
and recognize?
So many ot tho neighbor* will lie Ger
uinus tha* books will not braud ’he colonists
as dudme*. The German immigrants who
come to tills country know more or Ics
about the universities and are uses to stu
dent economies aud boliemiauisms.
Aud how will such a colony maintain it
self? From what quarter come tbe sinews
of war?
Aside from money for establishing baths
In bo opened to tbe women neighbor*, cash
for which was raised from the Mark Twuiu
readings, tho girl colonists take tho budget,
which need not be n heavy one, out.: fl
own shouiders Each girl pays her weekly
board mono.' 1 • tne matron, aud the board
pais ti.e roul and supplies tne table.
And, u basis tor living es.ablished. wlia
cat*, sue. i group of young womsj, isolated
among the tenements, do?
The answer is comprisedhu two words
be neighborly. The plan i* to let the nos
sibilit e* of the situation gra in illy and nit
ur .11 y disclose themselves. If is not pro
posed to force anything. First there mu.t
be acquaintances, then friend). l.ving.
The main floor of the bouse in which the
experiment is to be conducted is to be fitted
lip in larg" parlors for s .cial evening gath
erings. Ihe girls propose to give receptions
—at which “full dres>" will not be a requi
site for admission—little ttternoon and
evening parties and teas.
When tho time for it is ripe they propose
to have club* for the girls and younger
women. These will be small aud neighborly,
devoted largely to recreation aud inuocsnt
brightening of not toGploasant lives. The
clubs may include singing classes, and game
playing, and by deg roc, group interested
in dressmaking, millinery, the art of cook
iDg good dinners out of inexpensive mate
rials. and such domestic accomplishments,
may evolve themselves, it is not unlikely
that simple physiology and hygieua, wim
talks on ventilation and the services of a
woman physician may be arrived at, though
it is meant that r.ue teaching sha.i bo in
formal and largelv by example, the forma
toaof classes and anything that looks like
t -,e formidable enginery < f education usti- 1
aliv set in motion by 'philanthropic effort
being avoided.
And the older women. Can one refine
them and bngnten them, and fit them to
live more intelligently?
There are no w rnen in America who have
so little comprehension of she meaning of
the word enjoyment as the adult tenement
women. The girls have their beaus, the
men and the boys have their saloons, their
clubs their dance halls and street rendez
vous. The married women have nothing.
They drudge as hard in the tenement facto
ries as their husbands aid they drudge at
home for a swarm of babies. They have
dropped into a weary rut, it is too late to
get them out of it, and t le college girls do
not propose to preach to the u or
to the conclusion, apparently in a little
lecture at them, or try to teach
them, but simply to get a claim on
their good will by offering them nice things
to eat and then helping them to a little
pleasure. So many people try to do other
people good that it is not a bad plan, o.icj
in a way, to try simply to give people a
good time.
With all its boldness and originality the
plan is a modest one. It looks to no scheme
for reforming creation, but the sweet faced
schemers do propose to try to live with
some less fortunate fellow-beings on terms
of simbio comradeship a.:d common kindli
ness, trusting that experience will show
them many ways to make their household
a lysnefit to their neighbors.
Aud when does tins project go into oper
ation ?
Not until the hottest of the summer days
are over. The college girls have friends
who are unwilling that they sh >uld go
through a summer in the tenements until
they nave first tried a winter and become
acclimated.
And who are the people who believe that
young women can do this thing?
The Rev. Dr. Rainsfo and, of St. George’s
church approves it, and so does Edward
Everett Ha'e. Miss Grace H. Dodge, one
Of New York’s women school commissi mers,
is greatly interested, as is Dr. Marv Putnam
Jacobi and Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell, of
the Htate Board of Charities. Tbe whole
body of the Collegiate Alumnae are inte
rested, which i wings iu two or turea college
presidents, half a dozen women p ofessors,
women fellows of Johns Hopkins and Bryn
Ma-ir, women doctors, dentists, newspaper
writers and magazimsts, a wo nan trustee
of Vassar and another of Boston University
women, professional and non-professional,
keeping school and keeping house and hus
band all over the country.
And what will come of It?”
Nobody knows. But Miss Fine has al
ready made friends of 200 or 300 tenement
people in the district iu which it is propus and
to settle and can count on their de
voted co-operation to ease the adventurous
beginnings of the enterpri-e. 8 eis clear

“I have a classshe is gone through a
doorway, aud there’s no questioning her
further or saying more about her this after

In a world which is apt to show a face
that is cynical, it is refreshing to come upon

History Repeating Itself.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The President (at Washington)—l am
becoming quite enthusiastic over the New
York centennial. I see that when Gen.
Washington was waiting to embark at
Elizabethport he asked of the New York
officials about him: “Is the boa, ready?”
and one of them replied. “Yes, general;
we would make even that island yonder
ready to sail if you wished it.” I will, when
I arrive there, repeat the same question aud
see if any one ot the patriotic Americans
present have read history carefully enough
to make the correct reply.
The Secretary—A pretty idea, Mr. Presi
dent, a pretty idea.
The President (on his arrival at Eliza
bethport, April 20, 1880) —Now I will begin:
Is the boat ready*
New York officials (in chorus) —Yis, sor.
Much Surprised.
From the Montezuma (Oa.) Record.
Not long since Louis Herz met up with a
Yankee iu Macon, and the old gentleman
asked him a great many questions about
Andersouviile.
“How far do you live from Anderson
ville?” asked the old fellow from the north.
“About twelve miles, I guess.”
“How large is the place?”
“Between 12,000 aud 15,000.'’
“Must be quite a large town.”
“No, it is a small place.”
“Wen, how do you make that?”
“Why thoy are all dead except about
125.”
