Mr. Wilson. »
Rrofessor Wilson’s brilliant
piano and pipe organ work calls
for special commendation. An
Englishman of pronounced mus
ical ability, educated and train
ed in the oldest conservatories
in England and on the conti
nent, Professor Wilson is one of
the most accomplished musicians
in the South. He is eminently
fitted to be at the head of the
music department of the La-
Grange Female College and to
hear liis interpretations of the
classic music of the old Tone
Masters is educational in the
highest sense of the world.
The choruses were perfectly
balanced and gave great pleas
ure to the audience. The three
quartets were especially delight
ful features of the programme,
and the soprano solos of Miss
Louise Scott ami Miss Anne
Glenn Robertson were enthus
iastically,’encored. Miss Harri
son’s readings and the selection
given by Miss Sadie Smith wore
received with great pleasure and
called for encores.
Professor Wilson’s organ solo
—Back’s Fugue in G minor—
closed the brilliant evening.

At the close of the program
me, the annual Junior day ad
dress was delivered by the Rev.
Dr. G. W. Bull, pastor of West
End Presbyterian Church, At
lanta. His subject was, “Your
Kingdom And Its King,” and
it was one of the ablest and
most brilliant addresses ever
made on a similar occasion. The
speaker talked to his young
hearers and impressed upon
them the splendor of the great
liberty-loving country in which
God had placed them and which
He had given them as their
kingdom to rule *by the
power of their womanhood’s
purity, nobility, and strength of
influence. The true, gentle,
fearless Christian woman is one
of the greatest powers tor good
in the world; she has made and
unmade human kingdoms and
principalities, but when the
great King is her king, her
power is limited only by her
faith. The speaker showed that
a half dozen or more- of the
great Powers of ’Europe could
be gathered to-gether ami placed
within the borders of only one
of our many sovereign States.
He told of the vastness and far
reaching stretches of our land,
and of how it is blessed by the
greatest and latest of all the
modern inventions and wonders
of science which advance civili
zation and crown us as the fore
most people living in the Gar
den spot of the world. All this
is the kingdom over which the
happy Christian American wo
man is born to reign, directed by
the King of kings; Itscontinued
prosperity and glory rest large
ly in her hands; she must fit
herself for her destiny and
prove worthy of her blessings.
REUNION OF ALUMNAE.
On Tuesday afternoon at 4
o’clock, the annual alumnae re
union was held in the parlors
and halls of the college. There
were many present and the occa
sion was most interesting and en
joyable.
the senior exercises.
At 8 o’lock on Tuesday eve
ning, June 5, the graduating ex
ercises took place. The auditori
um was filled with an interested
audience, and the stage present
ed a most attractive picture, with
its decoration# of flowers, class
colors, and the fair young grad
uates themselves, arrayed in
white, with long satin ribbon
badges displaying the Senior col
ors of crimson and white.
Thirty-one young ladies were
graduated in the literary course,
while there were three graduates
in the School of Music. This
large class was represented by
twelve readers, who read essays,
including the class historian, the
class poet and the class prophet.
A number of the subjects were
most original and received in
teresting treatments from the
writers. The reading was dis
tinct and good, displaying care
ful training, ch"-'; voices and
ease manner.
After an organ solo —An-
dante in G. —Baptist —by Miss
Ixjila M. Irvin, Washington,
Ga., the following programme

.. .Cowen
Degrees Conferred.
The contralto solo by Miss
Coral C. Capps* of Toccoa, is
deserving of special mention.
She sang “The Watcher,” by
Geibei, ami the depth, round
ness and sweetness of her tones
are remarkable for so young a
girl. Her expression and phras
ing were excellent and her man
ner very pleasing.
Cowen’s beautiful Bridal Cho
rus, Rose Maiden, closed the
program, and the graduates left
the stage and occupied standing
positions immediately in front
of it. They remained standing
while President Smith addressed
them in his annual baccalaureate.
He spoke with great earnestness
and force, urging upon his hear
ers the truth that we live in
order to work out a special plan
of God’s own devising, and that
service is the keynote of life’s
great melodies.
The sooner we learn to fill
our lives with steady, purpose
ful work, the sooner will we be
about our Father’s business.
Life is not for enjoyment; it is
for work and duty and w$ can
lift it above drudgery by infus
ing love into it an<l by cnrwn
it with a deathless faith in God.
At the close of the president’s
address, Prof. Leon P. Smith
' delivered the music certificates
and the diplomas.
The audience was then dis
missed by Dr. John W. Heidt,
formerly president of the college
and now a prominent member
of the visiting board.
And so the commencement of
1900 has passed into history,
leaving l>ehind it the brightest
memories and the highest hopes.
ATLANTA’S BIG STRIKE.
When St Louis’street car sti ike
assumed such immense propor
tions, Atlanta was filled with en
vy and emultl'ou and last Thurs
day night she embarked in the
strike business herself and n do
ing well at it. Seven hundred
carpenters and joiners engaged
in piling up the Gate City’s new
building refused to return
to their work Friday morning and
in place of ten hours a day,
demanded eight working hours
with a uniform price of 25 cents
an hour as a minimum wage, ”oi
|2 a day with half price of mini
mum wage f or overtime and dou
ble time for tegs) holidays and
Sundays.” Mr. J. P. Stephens is
the secretary and business agent
of the local council o# strikers
and he says his men will stand
firn* until they win out.
The idea of Atlanta not having
a strike of her own! Os course she
was going to have one and if we
don’t wateh her, she will manu
facture a letal eclipse some time
during thesummer and advertise
i t as a mid*-summer fair attrac
tion hardly that, either, for a
total eclipse could scarcely be call
ed a fair affair, no matter how
you can look at i t—and induce
the railroads to run excursion
trains from all over Georgia!
And Georgia would go too, and
be glad of the chance.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION
Tbe Government has appropiia
led $5, 000„Q00 for the Louisiana.
Purchase Exposition which*is to
be held in SL Lonis in 1903. The
appropriation is conditioned o n
the raising of $lO, 000, 900 by the
Ex position, author ties. The latter
say the ten millions wi 1 be found,
and we may look for a superb af
fair in 1908.

Increasing Size of Muscles By Electricity.
Instead of of going into regu
lar and long continued training for
increasing the size and strength
of tbe muscles, Professor William
El. King of New York, President
of the National Society of Electro-
Therapeutists, has discovered
that all this may be quickly ac
complished by electrical treat,
meat. One million volts are sent
through the body like a flash, of
mimic lightning and the whirring
noise of the immense generators
accompanies the stroke as a kind
of amateur thunder. In a very
few weeks, the weakened and
fliccid muscles not only terun
ihetrnormd s'Z’ ’nd strength
1 but, if'he treatment be con tin
ued, they will perceptibly in
-1 ci ease in both.
E rcricity w the m< dem pow
-1 i-r Chat can kill or preserve life
• with apparently equal facility.
' What it is, no man knows. What
it does, all men marvel over.
What it will do, man’s
ability to foretell. W hit it has
don: would seem to our forbears
like tbe realization of a fairy tale.
THE PASTEUR INSTITUTE.
Atlanta is to have a Pasteur
Institute. And LaGrang’s own
Dr. Slack is the prime cause of
it. At the meeting of the Georgia
Medical Association in April, Dr
Slack read a most interesting and
important paperol tbesubject ol
hydrophobia and its treatment
and cure. He J ed tbe
*
establishment of a Pasteur Insti
stute in Georgia and slowed con
clusively the necessity for it.
A committee was appointed .to
inveSflgatu tbe matter and Dr.
Slack was made tn*, chahman.
The committee met in
list week and as a result of its in
vestigations, an institute is to be
established and will soon be ready
for the reception of patients.
This is a great thing for Geor
gia and the State is indebted to
Dr. Slack’s progressive thought
sor the Pasteur Institute.
Atlanta gets the institute but
LaGrange has Dr. Slack and La
Grange is far ahead of Atlanta
this time.

HowTo
Gain Flesh
Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTT’S EMUL
SION. It is strange, but it often
happens. .
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound •, it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient is able
to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be
fore, and that is the way the gala
is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
