A HEW HALU
W1LLIBE ERECTED ON UNIVERSI
TY CAMPUS
BY THE DEMOSTHENIANS.
That Society has inaugurated Steps
to Raise the Money-The Alumni
of the Society Will Come to their
Aid In This Matter.I
The Demosthenians are in earnest
in the matter.
And they will conTen their hall on
the campus into a most beautiful build
ing.
The movement has been inaugurated,
an.l it will be pushed through at once.
This year the Demoetheniau Society
is in an especially prosperous condition.
It has a large membership, and the
mem wrs take interest in the meetings
of the Society.
The hill of the Society, while it is
perfectly comfortable,still needs repair
ing badly, so the members have deter
mined the remedy the matter.
The Society has resolve * to raise the
sum of one thousand dollars with which
to remodel and repair their ball. That
the; will succeed in their und:*taking
goes without saying.
The first movement will be to see
what the Faculty will subscribe in the
matter. The society has several alum-
Di among the membeis of the Faculty.
Then the society will issue a circular
to its alumni members throughout the
Sta^e and from this source will derive
quite a nice sum towards-the necessary
amount fixed by the socitty to be raised.
Then the society will lay up a certain
amount from its income until the
thousand dollar mark has been reached
When this amount has been raised,
plans will be drawn for the reno
vation of the hall and the work will
be started at once.
ir may take a little while to do this,
but the Demosthenians are determined
to make the movement a success.
The remodeled Denn>sthenian hall
will be quite an ornament to the cam
pus.

What a Prominent Lawyer Has to Say
About the Nexr Legislative Cam
paign- Colonel Morton the Man
IN HIS FATHER’S PLACE.
As for me,” said a prominent law
yer of Athens yesterday, and one who
was io the raoe last year, “I am in
hopes Colonel Morton will offer for re-
election, and I candidly profess to
believe that Clarke county ought to
send him back without opposition.”
“Yes, why n«t?” remarked another
man standing by.
“Colonel Morton has done good service.
As to the Legislature.
Who is going to run for the place next
time?
It is not too early to begin thinking
about the matter. Not Kbit.
Will Col. Morton the present incum*
bent be in the race next time?
That is a question that is being dis
cussed, and everybody concludes that
there is no reason under the suu why he
should not offer for re-election.
Be has worked conscientiously for
the good of Athens and Clarke county.
Invariably he has taken off his coat,so as
to speak and work for the people when
they petitioned him even against bis
own personal Wishes. Take bis work
done towards pushing througL the bill
for the dispensary.
He cou.d -' have easily killed that
bill if be had been false
to the people’s petition. If he had
ever been silent ho could have killed it.
But he worked for its passage like a
Trojan and did it against his own per
sonal disposition too.” #
There is no doubt about it Colonel
Morton has been a conscientious and
siLoere representative of old Clarke
county.
From the present outlook Col W. J.
Morton will be his own successor with
out opposition.
He deserves to be.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
SENT TO JAIL.
Prof. Geo. D. Thomas to be a Georgia
Railroad Director.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday
took occasion evidently to pay a very
nice compliment to Prof. George D.
Thomas in speaking of the probability
of his election as a director of the Geor
gia Railroad.
The death of Col. Stevens Thomas left
a vacancy in the board of directors of
the Georgia Railroad and it Is to be
3 led at an early date.
It is stated by the Chronicle that
Piof. Thomas will be the selection, as
the place is due to Athens and no better
man could be fonnd to fill it.
I’rof. Thomas is a man of unques
tioned ability and progressiveness, and
will fill with credit the office so ably
held by bis deceased father.

Professor H. C. White There In the
Interest of the University.
Yesterday’s Constitution contained
an interesting interview with Professor
H. C. White. It says:
Professor H C. White, of Athens,
was in the city yesterday. He said that
the men w ho entered this fall were bet
ter prepared than any freshmen in
years' This is the best proof that the
standard of education is improving
throughout the s Hte. There are more
academies, and more good teachers,
than ever before in Georgia, and the
number of each is increasing all the
time. . .
Professor White spoke regretfully of
the practice many Georgia parents have
of sending their tfip* to northern col
leges. “We have as fine institutions as
the north has, and to young men who
propose to spend their lives in Georgia
there is no institution which begets
such a fellowship M the Uni

To Col. Stevens Thomas.
The Board of .Directors of the South’*
era Mutual Insurance Company, feel
deeply the loss sustained by the death
of their honored colleague,'Col Stevens
Thomas, secretary and general agent of
the company.
His uniform courtesy towards each
member commanded tneir profound re
spect and endeared him to each of those
who are left behind to miss bis presence
and advice at their council board.
Col. Thomas t ad been connected with
the company for thirty-seven years,
during twenty-four of which be was Us
secretary. Entering upon the dnties of
this office in 1867, when the affairs of
the company were just beginning to
rally from the direful effects
of the war, he largely
contributed by his wisdom, prudence
and great administrative talents, to
placing the company, in the eminent po
sition it now occupies.
His clear conception of whatever
matter came before him, his just and
correct ideas of the rights of others,
his faithful adherence to fundamental
principles in all the business of his office,
inspired confidence and made every one
brought in contact with him, feel that
their rights and interests were safe in
his bauds. ,
. His colleagues of the Board will miss
him, not merely as a faithful officer, but
also as a friend whom they loved and
admired. The energy and truthfulness
of his character, his sound and compre
hensive jndgment, the active and con
stant devotion to duty which made him
still attend to the details of his office
even under the shadow of approaching
death, bis unflinching fortitude in the
maintenance of right, his courtly man
ner and cheering address, the truth,
honesty, wisdom and prudence which
were the ruling principles of his actions,
will ever be remembered by those who,
f om frequent association with him, bad
learned to honor and esteem him as a
fc-ue gentleman.
While we bow in bumble submission
to his a flic ting dispensation of Provi
dence, it becomes us to express the deep
sorrow that we feel at the loss of our
lamented associate, it beoounqs us to tea
tify our respect for his high character,
bis distinguished talents, his eminent
services to the Southern Mutual Insur
ance Company, to his many virtues and
to the loving remembrance in which we
hold the many graceful qualities which
made bis society so attractive, and in
token of our esteem for our departed
colleague and friend, we, therefore
Resolve, That these expressions of our
deep regret be entered upon our min
utes ; that a copy of the same be sent to
the family of Col. Thomas, and that
publication of them be made in the city
papers.

$75,000 Required to Secure
Him His Liberty, the Re
sponsibility too Great.
Boston, Nov. 7.—Colonel Jonas H.
French, In default of $70,000 hail, has
be^u committed to Charles street jail.
Since his arrest he has been in the cus
tody of the United States marshal.
From that time forth he has been mak
ing the most strenuous efforts to secure
ball, but the man who bat a short time
slnoe was surrounded by influential,
financial, political and social friends
found his closest associates so far ont of
his reach when disaster came that not
even the few thousand dollars needed
to keep him ont of jail could be fonnd
by himself or his counsel.
But two men presented themselves to
sign the bend of $76,000 required to se
cure him his liberty, and neither was
nearly qualified to assume the respon
sibility. Mr. John Stetson was applied
to by a friend of Mr. French, and he
said ha would furnish bail providing
$76,000 in good securities were placed
in his hands as an indemnity in case
French forfeited his bonds. The friends
of Colonel French who were willing to
give an indemnity bond have been en
gaged in efforts to comply with Mr.
Stetson’s requirements, bat were una
ble to make the necessary arrange
ments, and the commitment was made
early in the evening.

ANOTHER BANK SENSATION.
The Suspension of nirsohfsld and Wolff
In Berlin.
Berlin, Nov. 7.—The suspension of
the firm of Hiracbfeld & Wolff, the
bankers of this city, caused a sensation
in finanolM circles, but it was as noth
ing to the latest developments. It
was reported at the time the failure
was annoonoed that the Empress of
Germany and Prinoe Henry of Prussia
were liable to lose a large amount by
the failure, and that the minister of
public worship. Dr. Von Gosslor, had
lost his entire fortune, and that many
members of the most aristocratic fam
ilies were Involved in the firm’s trou
bles.
Under snoh circumstances a rigid in
vestigation into the affairs of Hirsohfeld
and Wolff was only natural. This in
quiry into tt}s hankers’ business meth
ods were commenced, and resulted in
the arrest of Herr Wolff, head of the
firm of Hirsohfeld & Wolff, on a charge
of a most serious nature, the particu
lars of which have not as yet been made
public. This financial nphsavel was
the only thing talked about in Berlin,
and farther and more startling devel
opments are expected when the full
facts become known. The amount of
the firm’s liabilities is not yet announced,
but it is understood that it iavery high.
Albany, Nov. 7. —General Palmar,

fiegie carried.
After a recital of the duties of the
Grand Army in the premises, the great
services of the Union army during the
war, the order concludes:
If this grand army of loyaly citizens
serves no other purpose, it will keep
fresh in the hearts of the rising genera
tion that love of country, that devo
tion to the union, that reverence for the
stars and stripes.
"The constitution and laws which in

"With these words of admonition I

fL Young Lady to Tost the Hfflceey.of
Dog Fleah for Consumption.
Shklbyvillz, Ind., Nov. T.—Miss
Maggie Doniger, an estimable and win-
soma young lady 11 years of age, has
just begun a moa 1 : unique treatment
for consumption. It challenges the at
tention of the medical fraternity, and
may yet rival the "famous Dr. Koch’s
lymph or the notorious Dr. Brown-Se-
quard’s elixir vital as a remedy for tu
beronlosis. For some time Maggie has
been suffering from pulmonary affec
tion, and all medical skill employed has
failed to give her relief. Finally, un
der the direction of her medical advi
ser. she has concluded to take a course
of aietitic treatment, which is to consist
exclusively of young dog flesh. For
this purpose a fat healthy Newfound
land pup was killed and nioely dressed
by George Harman and she began eat
ing 1L It is claimed that dog flesh In
the course of assimilation is converted
into a lymph of more than ordinary vi
tality, which being absorbed by the
blooa corpuscles snpplants the decayed
tissue and adds new strength and vigor
to the patient. Whether this be true
or not Maggie proposes to test its effi
cacy.
The value of “the littles” was never
more impressively shown than in the rt-
sult of the “penny a day pledge” from
which the Salvation Army has drawn so
large a portion of its levenuee. The mem
bers of that Army are in all cdhiitrit-s of
the veiy poorest people, but tens or thou-
ands of dollars flow am.uajy into the tr* a-
»ury iroin their lab t of ‘ laying by iD
sioie” a simile peony a day.
Others besides to- Salvationists h-v
taken up ibe idea. Indeed it was not
•.ew idea with them, for among Cnriatiai t
ev -iy where there have always been those
who knew the import .nee of the regular
systematic appropriation of even small
sums fur the Master’s work. But lately it
oaa become au intergrat part of the system
of some churches, an i a great many ot
ibe Cbi islian Endeavor Societies, Epsworth
Leagues, and King's Daughters Circles
have adopted it. Tnt-y circulate cards
bearing the “Penny Phdue” piiuttd upon
them, with place for name and date. Tin
pledge rune t >us: Trusting iu God foi
K r *°r fai'hfuliy to keep my word, I do
iien by promise as a C»nstian to give no
less than odc penny every day, each year
l, 1 mv life, for mission work at home anu
abroad.
ouch a pledge seems a simple one to
keep, but it is in fact not so easy as it
looks. Iu the first pi ce, it involves our
naving the cause of mssions “on our
mind” all the time, j very day we must
remember to put aside the penuy. And it
s not convenient eveiy day to spare even
o small a sum as a penny. No, it L not an
asy tl ing to do, but it is a bl esed thing.
It is a blessed thing to bear even “on
one’s mind,”;or better still, on one’s benrt,
ihe burden of obligation to souls for
whom Ci.r.st di. d; it isa blessed t* ing to
have the daily consciousness of beins c-.>-

i.t ’ Ihe poverty out of which .the gift it
made, the n ore blessed the reward, since
the gi eater sac idee ihr more closely are
we ass- ciated with ihe infinite sacrifice of
our Lord.
If vny Christian man, woman, and child
■vere to mve oue penny a day to Criaiim

m. re than double their misssonary cf

Middlesborouqh, Ky., Nov. 7.—Ex-
Governor Alonzo B. Cornell of New
York, has arrived here and will spend a
few days. He said that he was the last
Republican executive of the empire
stute, and he was surprised and unpre
pared to hear of the result of the recent
elections in New York, and especially
in Massachusetts and Iowa. He was
asked for an opinion upon the possibili
ties of McKinley becoming the Repub
lican candidate for the presidency in
1893. The ex-governor replied that the
Ohio election meant nothing of spe
cial significance, and that McKinley
will not and could not loom up as a seri
ous or formidable presidential candi
date. When proesed for a reason he
added with considerable irony, that the
man whose name commenced with Me
would never be the nominee of either of
the great parties, nor could ho be elect-
ad even if the nomination were secured.

< 0 IK Al'D ITS USES.
Our lives are molded by silent influences.
The epoch-maki; g events of life do not
determine its conrage or its power. Tuey
may throw the stream into a new direction,
but do not augment oi diminish its force-
fulness. The dye thrown into the river
may.change the current and prevent its
cutting here and force it to make a chan
nel there, but the same volume of watei
flows with the same momentum and its
work will be done somea here. Voltaire
boasted that if he could diiect the first five
years of a child’s life, he cared little who
had the training of future. These first few
years are those in which influence is must
quietly exerted. Tnere is little»ffort made
to bend the child’s mind or will in a fixed
direction. WethiokitUo young to re
ceive special instruction as to truth and
right, gentleness, kindness, God and-Christ
and prayer. But the child even then,
through the very pores of its skin, through
a thouBSDQ ears and a thousand eyes, is
receiving impressions which will go with
it through all future years.
And even wheD we are older, it is not
sterling events of life which most effect us,
but the quiet influence of daily contact
with the people about us. Public opinion
in this or any country is not the opinion
or theory of the statesmen of the laud, but
the impression made by those opinions on
the mass of tbe citizens Our opinions,
tastes, likes, and dislikes are determined
far more than we think or c*re to acknow
ledge by tbe small events which effect the
iuner circle in which we move Thus the
temple of character is built. Every stone
and timber, quanied, cut, bewn, and in
scribed nmid mad lutmo;1 without, but at
length fitted and made a part of us ia quiet
resifulm ss and peace wiihm. No sound
of hammer or drumbeat is heard when
new stone are fitted into human character.
