Newspaper Page Textr MUSICAL TRAINING WAS FIRST INTRODUCED INTO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE CLASSIC CITY. The Merit of Introducing this System Belongs to Athens—What Our School Children Do In This Department. A few days siuce an article appeared in the Augusta Chronicle in regard to uiu'ical training in the public schools ot Georgia. This article was brought about by the appearance of an article in the New York Herald on this subject. The article in the Chronicle contain ed the following sentence: “In Geor gia, two other cities only are abreast of Augusta in the matter of musical training in the public schools. Atlanta and Augusta were the first to adopt the system taught at the Boston Conserva tory.” A Bansek reporter met Superintend* ent Boud and asked him if Athens wasn’t the first city in Georgia to in troduce this system. He replied that it was, and that it is now being used more thoroughly in Athens than in any oth er city in Georgia. A long conversation upon the subject revealed some interesting facts. The books of Ginn & Co. will show that Athens introduced into her schools Mason’s course of music, by charts and hooks, as early as 1S86. Augusta did not introduce the system until 1889, and Atlanta, Columbus aud Macon intro duced the «vstem into their public schools in 2; 99. The instruction in music in theschools of our sister cities is made through the work of two teachers who are employed to teach in all the schools, and thus each scholar gets about forty-five to sixty minutes training each week. It is quite different in the Athens public schools, each teacher teaches her own music aud teaches it according to the system used in the Boston conserva vatory. This system having been in use in the Athens schools since 1886, its results are marked among the pupils. The object of the system is to teach a ready, rapid and accurate sight reading of notes, and as an evidence of the rapid progress of,the scholars in this direction, it can be truthfully said that in the primary grades in our schools the littlechildieu have learned about fifty songs since September, and in the high er grades, the scholars are rapidly learning all the branches of music. Here niucic is taught every day and each scholar gets the benefit of two hours training in this department each week. This is just written toshow that the Athens public schools are not drag ging behind in any department of study Athens was first to introduce this sys tem in Georgia, and there is no Georgia city abreast of her in the movement.

Officer Bluings Kills a Rabid Dog on Strong Street. Thursday morning there was con siderable excitement on Strong street, occasioned by a deg exhibiting all symptoms of rabies. The police were nottfied.and Officer Billings went down and shot the cur. The dog was the property of Mrs. Baxter, and it i3 be lieved it was killed before any others had been bit. It is rather early in the season for mad dogs to make tl-eir ap pearance, and it will be well for nuz zles to be brought into use.

Tammany’s “Big Four” Divided—Har rison and His Followers for War— Blaine and His Backers Dis gusted—Will the Secre tary Resign. Washington, Jan. 28.—Now comes the interesting news from New York that Tammany’s steerers are divided as to the advisability of nominating David B. Hill for the presidency. Boss Croker is reported to he against Hill for personal reasons and on general principles. Gilroy, supposed to be next strength to Croker, is also opposed to Hill’s nomination; but the other two braves who compose Tammany’s "bit four, * Mayor Grant and Congressman Cochran, are for Hill against the inhab itants of all the world combined. In the meantime, Colonel Hill eontin- nes industriously working after the nomination. The liveliest speech in the debate on the silver issne was made by Ray nor of Maryland, one of the country’s sound est Democrats. In the course of his remarks he waded into the question, and fervently de clared that no free silver plank: would be inserted in the national Democratic platform. He strongly eulogized Cleve land, and predicted his nomination and triumphant election, despite the con- tion machinery against him. Hear- ty applause greeted this sentiment Mr. Mills made his first effort in ao- tual service in this congress by advocat ing, in a red-hot speech, the rules pro posed by the Democracy. He explaine" the relative ghts of the majority an the minority, and threw many flaming firebrands into the doctrine of Reedism.

Ask jour drug- Only 50c. a bottle, at John Crawford & Co. gilts lor bwatke’s Oiktmixt. Wholesale and Retail Drag Store, Washington, Jan. 28.—Consideration of the terms of Chili’s explanation hn- resulted in quite a split in the cabinet. Harrison regards it as nasatisfactory. and still pants for war. Blaiao was against the president in the baatineas of his ultimatum, against him in the pre cipitancy of his message, against him in his mad efforts to make political cap ital out of the sailors’ fight. It is said that Miller and Tracy sym pathize with the president’s war-like gyrations ; that Elkins stands with his old chief, Blaine, and that pious Johu is ou the fence, with leanings towards war. Rumor is rife to the effect that Blaine is thoroughly disgusted with Harrison’s ten-cent jingoism, and that he is seri ously contemplating retiring from the cabinet to keep from being associated with such peanutism. Should he do so, and it now seems probable, it would knock the props from under Harrison and leave him in a very deep hole. Blaine thinks this would stamp him as the really great and independent character of the country, and bring to him that overwhelming, foe-crushing, union-sweeping boom for which he has been so long hoping. MeElreo’s Wine of Cartlui tor weak Nerves A HAPPY MARRIAGE PENSION Tkn* Mob United Plead Gmllty in States Court. Parkersburg, W. Va., Jan. 88.—The conspiracy case in the United States court, in which John J. Saulsbury, J. Bailey, J. B. Townsend and Samuel Russell, all of Pleasants county, were being tried on the charge of endeavor ing to defraud the government into granting a pension to John J. Sauls bury, was ended after a two days’ trial by the sudden and unexpected pleas of guilty made by the prisoners, who ex pected, hy throwing themselves upon the mercy of the oonrt, to obtain clem ency. Saulsbury pleaded guilty to twe indictments, Bailey to three. Russell to two and Townsend one. Russell waa sentenced to one year in the peniten tiary and $500 fine; Bailey to fourteen months iu the penitentiary and $1,00(1 fine; Sanlsbury, fourteen months and $1,000 fine. Townsend has not been sentenced. The parties are all w-11 known in Pleasants county, where Townsend is a notary public and magis trate. Bail-y aud Sanlsbury are farm ers. This is the case in which Captain Roome, United States detective, fol lowed Sam Russell, one of the prisoners, several months and captured him ou the Big Sanity river. It is evident from the foregoing that the Democrats of the west design to in crease their power, aud that the east is not being considered. Hrmasdei Has Appealed.

CHILI SENDS A FULL AND FRANK APOLOGY. AND THERE WILL BE NO WAR. Senor Pereira’s .Letter Disclaiming Hostility, and Breathes the Spirit of Friendship—Har rison not Pleased With the Situation. Hood’s Washington, D- C., Jan. 28—The Chilian trouble is at an end. The bot tom has dropped out, and with it goes the president’s hopes of a renomination, especially through the instrumentality through which be sought i ; viz by throwing the nation into war. Mr. B ount, of Georgia, is elated, and Secretary Blaine wears a happy smile over the termination of the affair. The dispatch containing the reply of Senor Pereira, Chilian minister of for iegn affairs, is a lengthy document, and at this writing has not been translated It is said, however, to be an able and well written deenment, and is clear and unequivocal. Siucere regret is express* ed iu regard to the Baltimore incident, and the proposition to refer the matter to the United States Supreme Courtis said to be more than an offer for a settlement— it shows the friendly feeling of the Chilians towerd the United States. The whole tone of the paper is so sincere and manly that it is said that it leaves the matter in such shape as to draw the two countries closely together and an ami cable settlement is unavoidable. The dispatch is clear in regard to the hos’ility by the Chilians to the Ameri can flag and uniform It says: ‘Chili hates the American uniform ? No. Too well does she remember that flag and that uniform in her ports and harbors aiding her in her struggle for independence (referring to Chili’s strug g e years ago to achieve independence.”) Secretary Blaine is entirely satisfied, and feels relieved that the controversy is almost over. The prospect of war is now past, and while a great deal re mains to be done before the controver sy iu it* entirety is closed, yet the af fair is in such shape as to bring the two countries closer together, and make further proceedings of comparatively easy adjustment. Poor Harrison is sulky. He feels that the “game is up,“ and he “ain’t in it.” It is charged by many that he had Chili’s apology in his possession, when he sent in bis ultimatum.
