Club.
Nine hundred delegates had registered
at the bureau of Information last night.
Beside these there are several hundred
in the city who are stopping with friends
who have not registered.
President Flanders saia tn his speech
to the congress:
W« have lived to see the demand for agri
cultural education which should educate the
boys back toward the farm, that should edu
cate In the calling of the agriculturist so that
calling might be dignified also with the title
of "profession. " grow until Xoday we stand
upon a prominence down wijich we can look
into the years that have gone by and see the
path made by this steady progress, and I am
thankful to say that that prominence upon
which we eta nd is the result of the recorded
will of forty-three states of this union, to the
effect that education shall be provided for
among those who are pursuing agriculture for
a living, to the end that they may unlock
the secrets in the laboratory of nature In such
away that they may make use of her greatest
ability without Impoverishing her strength or
Injuring her future usefulness.
"The granaries of the world are being filled
until today we are confronted with the fact
that tn the United States five and two-thirds
millions farms are producing five and one
half billion dollars worth of agricultural
products, a sum said to be much in excess of
the total income of the farmers at any other
time in their history In this country. This
year we are raising In the United States as
much corn as was raised in the world last
year.
The education that has been going on tn the
Interest of the agriculturist durtag .the last
thirty years has produced wonderful results,
but all. or nearly so, are upon one side of
this two-sided question, vis.: Upon the side
of production without touching the question of
distribution or the question of the relation of
the agriculturist to the government or govern
ments under which he lives and by virtue of
which he is protected. We are living in an
age of combinations, an age when corporations
and corporate interests unite for purposes
which to them seem wise and just, an age
when the labor element is organized for pur
poses which to it seem just and right, an age
in which capital, generally speaking, is organ
ised and combined for reasons which to it seem
just and right, so that when any problem
arises from the question of distribution to the
question of legislation they are prepared at
short notice to determine what action should
be taken and then act as a unit. What is
true of these combinations is not true or tne
agricultural population, and yet that population
io 10-»th of the entire number engaged in the
industrial pursuits of thia country. The scope
of our educational work should now be such
that it will extend to this class of our popu
lation as much information as possible through
some kind Os an organisation or by some means
best suited to that end, the fundamental prin
ciples involved In economic questions of the
times and of their political duties and obliga
tions to themselves and others through the
government or governments under which they
live. In other words, the theories and funda
mental principles qf constitutional law should
be taught alongside of the fundamental prin
ciples underlying the production of agricultural
products. Those principles are stable, under
going few changes. Every agricultural citizen
should understand that the government of the
United States under Which we live is a govern
ment of derived powers, that it has no powers
except those that have been conferred upon it
and that the conferring was done by the sov
ereign states of the union and that the matter
conferred is enumerated in that document
known as the Constitution of the United States,
and that, when he desires the national govern
ment to do anything in his interest he must
first know whether the power to do that thing
has been given that government in that in
strument. If the power has been conferred
then it is plausible and feasible to petition
the congress of the United States to do the
thing desired, but if it has not been conferred
then all the effort put forth tn that direction
is useless because if such a law were passed it
would be declared unconstitutional by the
United States courts; in other words, the in
struction should be so given that the whole
general scheme of the government of each
state and of the national government should
be understood by the agriculturist; he should
be familiar with the powers that have been
given the national government and from what
source they were derived and how derived.
I believe that no better work can now be
taken up along educational lines in addi
tion to the work already being done than
to put the agricultural population of this coun
try in possession of such knowledge relative
to the government and Ito workings as will
qualify or equip each and every one to at any
time step into the legislative halls of any
state in the union or the congress of the United
States and legislate with intelligence upon tne
questions that will be placed before them.

SURGEONS MEET TO
DISGOSS CATTLE
INSECTS
VETERINARY MEN IN SESSION AT
CAPITOL YESTERDAY—MEET
ING SAID TO BE ONE OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE.
A meeting of the veterinary surgeons
of the southern states was held at the cap
ltd yesterday fori the purpose of discuss
ing the best method of annihilating the
cow tick.
C. A. Carey, of Auburn, Ala., is presi
dent of the meeting and J. C. Robers, of
Mississippi, is secretary. The men pres
ent are Tate Butler, of Raleigh, N. C.; R.
P. Steddom, of Knoxville, Tenn.; C. F.
Dawson, of Florida; G. E. Nesom, of
South Carolina, and R. F. Wright, of
Georgia.
The various and sundry methods of
catching ticks and killing them was dis
cussed by the members. R. P. Steddom.
who is a government expert on the tick
question, gave a history of the methods
which have been and are now employed
by the government in destroying the cat
tle tick.
-ae meeting grew out of the meeting of
the commissioners of agriculture which
was held at Nashville recently. In the
opinion of Assistant Commissioner of Ag
riculture R. F. Wright, of Georgia, the
meeting is one of the most important ever
held in the south.
The meeting will probably recommend
a uniform system of cauie laws, and will
probably Issue a bulletin on the best meth
od of hanuilng the ticks in the south.
COLOMBIA iTwAr’vESSEL
’ MANNED BY AMERICANS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. B.—The Colom
bian gunboat Bogota is now on its way
to Panama to encounter the insurgents’
war vessel, the Padilla. The Bogota made
a flying start-about 2 o’clock, came to
grief fifteen minutes later when two gas
kets blew out, stopped the machinery
and left the vessel helpless on the tide.
The damage done was not serious, but It
effectively crippled the Bogota fdr the
time being and the gunboat was towed to
an average for repairs. She went to sea
at night.
She has an all-American crew and both
officers and men have "pasts'' in which
fighting has been the dominating charac
teristics. Her officers have been trained
in the science of modern warfare and her
sailors nearly all hold discharges from the
United States navy. Those that lack
discharges are without them because their
method of leaving the service was not in
accordance with regulations.
Captain H. H. Marmaduke, the com
manding officer, was captain in the Con
federate navy.
Lieutenant Arthur H. Dutton is a grad
uate of Annapolis and nerved with the
rank of ensign on the converted yacht
Gloucester during the Spanish-American
■tfhf. HP is the ship's executive officer.
Lieutenants Hltchell and Mantgte are
also Annapolis men. Surgeon W. W.
Graham went through the Cuban, Phil
ippine and Chinese campaigns.
Colonel James H. Gregory, of the Colom
bian army, who is going to Panama on the
Bogota, is a distinguished military officer.
The Bogota crew is about forty strong.
Twelve of her sailors were with Dewey
at Manila and several of them should now
be serving Uncle Sam on the battleship
Oregon.
In the Bogota’s crew are three gradu
ates of the United States school of gun
nery.
B. C. Clark, who is acting as the ship’s
writer, was on the torpedo boat Winslow
during that memorable night in Cardenas
bay.
, The Bogota before sailing mounted a
fourteen pounder in her bows. She has
four rapid fire six pounders on her quar
ter deck, two Maxim-Nordenfelts amid
ship and three field guns mounted on
her superstructure.
LIPTON CHALLENGE IS
SIGNED FOR CUP RACE
LONDON, Oct. B.—Sir Thomas Lipton’s
third challenge for the America's cup was
yesterday afternoon signed at Belfast,
Ireland, by the officials of the Royal Ul
ster Yacht Club. The challenge has been
posted and will leave today for New York.
The terms of the challenge are practically
the same as in 1900.
Hon. Charles Russell represented Sir
Thomas Lipton. The race will take place
some time in August.
Sir Thomas said that he did not care to
discuss the challenge until its terms had
been lhade known and passed upon by the
New York Yacht Club. He said that the
arrangements had formerly been so satis
factory that he could hardly suggest any
changes.
Sir Thomas thinks that Shamrock 111
will be an improvement on his last chal
lenger, and that unless the American boat
is a better one than can be built In the
United Kingdom he will win. Shamrock
II will be left in America for trial pur
poses, while Shamrock I will be used for
the same purpose on this side of the
waters.
SWIFT OCEAN LINER
CUTS DOWN A VESSEL
LONDON. Oct. B.—The North German
steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm which sail
ed from Southampton today for New
York, ran into and sank the British
steamer Robert Ingham, during a dense
fog, off Beachy Head, this morning.
The Robert Ingham went down about
four minutes after the collision, but the
Kron Prinz Wilhelm saved all her crew
of thirteen men, with the exception of the
mate, and the only passenger she had on
board.
EX GOVERNOR J. B. NEIL
DIES OF THROAT CANCER
COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 6.—Ex-Governor
John B. Neil died this morning, after an
illness of ten months from cancer of the
throat. A wife and one daughter, Mrs.
A. B. Bennett, of Pittsburg, survive him.
Mr. Neil was born July 28, 1842 and in 1877
President Hayes appointed him registrar
of the land office in Salt Lake City and
afterwards in 1880 made him governor of
Idaho, which office he held four years.
ONE KILLED AND MANY HURT
IN RAILROAD COLLISION

collision between two passenger trains
from Philadelphia, on the Pennsylvania
road, occurred in front of Menlo Park
station this morning.
One person is reported killed and many
Injured.
COAL FAMINE
STRANGLES
NEW YORK
BROOKLYN WATERWORKS AND
CHURCHES MAY BE CLOSED
BECAUSE THERE IS NO COAL
TO FEED THE FIRES.
NEW YORK,Oct.7.—It is stated that less
than four days' supply of coal remains
for the running of the pumping stations
of the Brooklyn waterworks and unless
more coal comes before Thursday or Fri
day, the pumping station may have Ur
close. The gas companies in Brooklyn
are all short of coal. Many Brooklyn
churches probably will close if the coal
famine continues.
A gang of coal pirates is at work in
the harbor, and in future many captains
of tugs and barges will go armed to
fight the robbers. One barge captain re
ports that he was robbed of ten tons of
soft coal while on the way from South
Amboy, N. J. The captain says he waa
awakened by men who boarded the barge.
They were armed with pistols and he was
powerless. They loaded four skiffs and
disappeared with their precious cargo.
A soft coal famine, on the heels of
the present anthracite coal famine, ac
cording to the coal dealers. Is now Im
pending, and is likely to strike this city in
a few days. While the sidings along the
railroads are choked up with thousands
of cars loaded with soft coal, very little
of it is reaching the city and the price of
soft coal is increasing day by day. The
soft coal operators have appealed to Pres
ident Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania rail
road, to try to bring the coal to this
city.
Scarcity of motive power is given as
the cause of the delay in shipment.
Prospects are that, tn case the
coal strike continues until winter sets in,
the gas companies will have great diffi
culty in turning out the normal supply.
FIGHT BEGUN IN COURT
»AGAINST COAL RAILROADS
PHILADELPHIA, cfct. 8.-Frank H.
Thompson, of this city, began proceedings
today in the United States circuit court
to have the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad, the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, the Lehigh Valley railroad, the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road, the Delaware and Hudson railroad
and the New York, Ontario and Western
railroad companies declared an illegal
combination, because they are tn unlaw
ful restraint of the anthracite coal sup
ply.
Mr. Thompson also requests that the
representatives of the companies be re
strained and prohibited from meeting to
gether fdr the purj&se ofUxinjg ffie'rate
of coal or market price thereof.
MARCUS DALY’S PROMISE
HAS BEEN COMPROMISED
NEW YORK, Oct. B.—A claim of 150,000
made against the estate of the late Mar
cus Daly, the copper magnate, by the
Confederate Memorial Association has
been compromised. The heirs of the mil
lionaire have agreed to give $20,000 in set
tlement of claims and the suit has been
discontinued. Mr. Daly in October, 1899,
subscribed $50,000 to the Confederate Me
morial Association for the purpose of
erecting a building in memory of Confed
erate soldiers. At the time of his death
(he sum promised remained unpaid. The
executors refused payment and suit was
brought in the supreme court.
Engineer Scalded to Death.
SHREVEPORT, La., Oct.' B.—A passen
ger train on the Arkansas Southern was
wrecked near Jonesboro, La., last night.
Engineer C. S. Culpepper was so badly
scalded that death ensued in a few hours.
The fireman J. F. Barnes was slightly
injured. Traffic was delayed for several
hours.
GREAT FAIR OPENED;
BIG CROWD PRESENT
After Big Parade of Va-
rioue Attractions the
Gates of Piedmont
Park Open.
With a great street parade the fourth
Southern Interstate fair opened yesterday
morning, and what promises to be the
most successful of all the fairs is now in
full blast.
In every particular it is expected that
the fair this year will exceed all previous
fairs. There are hundreds of sightseers
already on the grounds, though the great
est crowd is expected to attend the races
this afternoon.
"Have you got that $25,” was about the
only thing said yesterday, and the
great anxiety of the thousands who are
attending the fair to secure one
of those four prizes shows how mjich of
a drawing card is this offer of the mana
gers of the fair.
The midway Vanity Fair they call it
this year, has a number of added novel
ties.
The exhibits in all of the buildings are
exceedingly good,. and are fast nearing
completion. The Atlanta manufacturers'
display, in the old aehcultural building, is
being much commented upon as one of the
best exhibits of Atlanta manufacturers
ever seen in this city.
In the live stock buildings, where the
race horses are stabled, there has been
an Immense crowd all day. There are,
of course, the invariable cane racks and
negro head targets, the miniature rail
roads, ham sandwich counters and the
like.
The great street parade was begun from
the fair grounds yesterday at 12:30
o’clock, and consisted of all of the attrac
tions of‘Vanity fair in carriages, led by
the queen of the Vanity Fair, mounted
hign on a muchly decorated carriage.
The entries for the horse show are now
closed, and It is expected that a full
list of all the horses entered for the show
will be completed, within the next few

FROZEN CADAVERS
IN IGE CREAM •
FACTORY
HORRIBLE DISCOVERY IS MADE
LAST NIGHT BY THE POLICE
OF LOUISVILLE WHILE
ON A RAID.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 9,-Thlrty dead
bodies were found tonight in a cold stor
age plant located in the rear of an Ice
cream factory on Eighth street.
The same pipes which were used in con
gealing the cream for table use were con
nected up with a small plant In a shed In
the rear where they kept the bodies cool.
It was at first thought that the cadav
ers had been brought here from Indian
apolis. but the heads of the several col
leges interested in the establishment as
serted tonight that the bodies were ob
tained legitimately by them from the pen
itentiaries, insane asylums and other in
stitutions of the state of Kentucky.
This morning Chief of Police Gunther
received a letter from the chief of police
of .Indianapolis, inclosing a letter from a
woman in Louisville, who said she had
lived at the place in question and that
some of the bodies stolen in Indianapolis
had been shipped here and were stored in
the shed.
Chief Gunther sent two policemen to
the scene. They reported that they could
not get in the shed without breaking it
open.
While the chief of police was trying to
get the permission of the court to open
the building, those having charge of the
place sent word to police headquarters
that the building was open and the inves
tigation was made.
The building is a small one and pro
vided with numerous thermometers for
the proper observation of the tempera
ture. The bodies were found, in boxes
and most of them were in a good state of
preservation. The establishment is main
tained by several Louisville medical col
leges.
The head of these Institutions say they
are given the bodies by the state with the
understanding that they are to be held
thirty days for identification. In order
to assist in the identification the cold
storage plant was established and an ar
rangement made with the ice cream plant
to furnish the cooling air.
BOY DIES OF LOCKJAW
FROM VACCINATION
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 6.-Walter Cloud,
about 12 years of age, carrier for one of
tne afternoon papers, and son of Mr. G.
W. Cloud, residing on Silcox street, died
early yesterday morning of lockjaw, pro
duced by vaccination.
The board of health had ordered that
all pupils attending the public schools
must be vaccinated, and several hundred
children were vaccinated when the school
term began, Walter Cloud one of these.
In a few days he became ill, gradually
growing worse until lockjaw set in.
Several-other Children are ill from the
same cause, though this is the first case
that has terminated fatally.
LOVE FOR TheTeAUTIFUL
IS A PART OF VIRTUE
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—At a luncheon given in
the auditorium hotel banquet hall Saturday
night by the trustees of the Industrial Art
League, Archbishop Ireland, who was the
guest of honor, paid a glowing tribute to art.
The prelate declared he loved the beautiful
because "I am a priest."
Continuing he said: "It is the province of
• priest to spread among the people this love
for the beautiful. Such a sentiment sweet
ens life. In the homes of the poorest should
be developed this appreciation for the good, the
true and the noble. Religion, I think, cannot
do everything to bring about the uplifting of
the poorer people from sordid planes. Religion
requires a fertile, prepared soil.
"Love for the beautiful is a part of virtue.
In the name of religion I should wish to see
the sense of the beautiful pervading among the
people. Let it be brought into homes, into the
furniture, into the textiles, into dress and
into the atmosphere. Thus would we be doing
religious work.”
Many Lives Lost by Sinking Steamer.
VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 6.—Advices by mail
from China say that the steamer Sand Leong,
bound from Rangoon to Amoy, and which em
barked 300 Chinese at Singapore, is believed to
have been lost off the China coast in a typhoon
with all on board.

The parade began promptly at 12:30
o’clock, and was led by the firemen's
drum and bugle corps, in full uniform,
and followed by the attractions of the
Vanity Fair and the Fifth regiment
band.
The Esqulmo men and women attracted
much attention and are sure to draw large
crowds. *

ped to Atlanta, and as soon as it arrives
will be placed on Clara Meer, where it
will perform its acts for the benefit of
unsuspecting humanity. This is the only
trained sea serpent in existence.
Arthur Buckner, the great cycle won
der, who won for himself such unstinted
praise at the Bijou, wil. give an exhibition
of dare devil riding this afternoon in
front of the grand stand, and again to
night. He has been engaged to give two
performances each day during the fair.
The great horse show will open next
Tuesday night and will conclude on Fri
day night. The horse show will without
a doubt be the most successful ever con
ducted in the south, and the finest horses
ever gotten together in the entire south
will be seen on the tan bark in the colis
eum. This building is now being magnifi
cently decorated, and the tan bark is be
ing replaced, so that it will be in splen
did condition for the four nights of the
horse show.
Some of the most magnicent specimens
of horse flesh in the world have been en
tered In this horse show, which will be
one of the leading social events of the
reason.
A detachment from the Seventh cavalry,
which is to take part in the horse show,
will arrive here next Friday afternoon, in
stead of later, as was expected. The offi
cers of the troop want the men brought
here earlier in order that practice in the
arena on the tan bark will make them
more perfect for the horse show. On Tues
day morning before the horse show they
will give a parade through the streets of
Atlanta, escorted by the Governor’s Horse
Guard.
The fair will last from today through
the 25th of the month, and it is expected
that the largest crowds which have £ver
sttended a fair in this city will be in at
♦eudmee < n the fair this year.

was made for the non-union men on i

jumped off in an attempt to press back,
the strikers. Immediately a shot was
fired. Then a perfect fusillade of shots;
came from both sides and the car was, 1
envelopes In smoke.
In the meantime R. D. Kountz, a young;
man of Luray, Va„ who waa on the car, ’
ran out and attempted to clear the track
of the planks and debris that had been i
thrown upon It. He was pelted with 1
bricks and stones but he was perfectly, l
cool and had pretty well cleared the track
when the mob descended upon him and,
pverwhelmed him.
Used Clubs and Guns. ■
Clark and Johnson were dragged fromj
the car and terribly beaten before the po-1
lice could fight off the mob and rescue!

gave the public reason to hope that * j
truce and resumption of traffic were In
sight.
Chief of Police Journee. who had issued
orders to his entire force to hold them
selves in readiness to protect the cars of ,
the company, said today that the with-,
drawal of the mayor's order was entirely
justified by conditions which had develop
