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. JUNIOR DAY. Tuesday morning, at 9:30 o’clock, the members of the Junior class read their essays.

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 was given. W EI.fOMR Miss Mary Howard Smith7*7,. Atlanta The Four Hundred.

Miss Mary Anderson Marietta Chorus —Bridal Chorus (Rose Maiden .. .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. EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.

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.
