TRUSTEES ARE DIVIDED.
No Man Has Majority in His Favor
for Chancellor of University.
Athens, Ga , June 20—A poll of
the junior and senior classes discloses
the (act that a large majority of both
of these classes are strongly in favor
of the retention of Dr, Boggs a» chan
cellor Investigation of the standing
of the trustees discloses the fact that a
little over onc-lhird are for Dr. Boggs
for chancellor. A few less than that
are for Dr. White, and the balance of
the board believe that it is the part of
wisdom to elect neither of these two,
but to select an outsider for the posi
tion—a man who would take the office
free from any antagonisms.
If it should come to an issue between
Dr. Boggs and Dr. White, the proba
bilities are that Dr. Boggs would be
elected. It is safe to say that the ma
jority of the board do nut favor the
election of either of tho two gentle
men. There is a strong sentiment in
favor of retaining Dr Boggs as a pro
lessor of the university, if he would
accept it, in the chair of philosophy,
which all concede he has filled with
great ability. The criticism placed
upon him as chancellor has been upon
the line that he produces too much
friction in bis contact with outsiders.
Dr. White receives the warm sup
port of all the trustees for the chair
which he now fills.
It seems to be clear that the major
ity of the trustees favor a change in
the chair of English. It is believed
that Dr. Riley will ask to be relieved
from hie duties as professor of English,
and he will be given the position of
of the university, traveling
through the state, presenting the ad*
vantages of the university wherever
he goes. The majority of the board
have informally expressed themselves
favorable to such a plan.
The outlook at this time seems to i
be a new man for chancellor, a new i
man for professor of English, and Dr. i
B >ggs in the chair of philosophy, Dr i
White in the chair which he now fi’ls
and Dr. Riley a representative of the
university, traveling through Georgia
in its interests.
It is understood at Athens that if i
Hon. William L Wilson, who is now
the able president of the Washington
and Lae University in Virginia, will <
accept the chancellorship, the trustees J:
are almost unanimously in favor of I
his election.
Greatest Heat Known.
I‘rc.f. Tucker of Columbia Universi
ty has succeeded in producing the
greatest heat yet known to man. A
specially constructed electrical furnace
and current of unusual power were
used to create this temperature, which
was so high that under it steel, hard
quar'z and even platinum, were vapor
iz >d.
As for ordinary crucibles, they dis
appeared at once in a little put! of
smoke.
The heat obtained, says the Boston
Transcript, was 6 .”>OO degrees Fahren
heit, 500 degrees hotter than any tem
perature before produced.
It is difficult to appreciate the de
gree of such heat without some com
parisons. Scalding water means a
temperature of 212 degrees Fahren
heit, and red hot iron 800 degrees
Steel melts at 3,000 degrees, and boils,
like water at 3,500 degrees. As for
the heat of the sun, it is estimated at
10,000 degrees, so that Prof. Tucker
obtained a temperature which came
within only 3,700 degrees of old Sol
himself
Scientifically, the experiment was
of importance, because it has demon
strated that the degree of heat obtain
ed some time sgo by Prof. Molsson of
Paris was not the greatest possible.
Commercially, it is useful, because
it has shown 'hat diamonds of market
able size and purity may be made
artificially.
Further, it has given to commerce
two products of almost incalculable
value—calcium carbide and silicium
carbide,

OTIS EXPECTS MORE FIGHTING
Aguinaldos Plan for an Attack On
Manila Thwarted
aSHIMgton June 20,——Reports re
ceived at the war department from
Gen. Otis indicate that considerable
more fighting is to be expected in the
Philippines before the insurgents will
accept American terms of peace.
Aguiualdo is ruling his followers
with an iron hand. The rebels have
shown a tenacity of purpose that has
been surprising, and have persisted in
fighting, notwithstanding severe losses
and disastrous repulses.
It is believed by war department
officials that the insurgents had mapp
ed out a plan for simultaneous attack
on Manila and on tho forces uut’er
Gen. McArthur, near San Fernando.
The advance of Gen. Lawton’s forces
upon them south of Manila was evi
dently unexpected, and he not only
defeated the insurgents with great
loss, but broke up the projected at
tack. The fight reported at San Fer
nando yesterday is believed to have
been a part of the plan of Aguinaldo
to break through the American lines
between San Fernando and Calumpit
and advance upon Manila to aid in
the attack on the city, which had been
prearranged.
Now that the insurgents have been
defeated at both ends of the line, it is
probable that Aguinaldo will again
withdraw toward Tarlac and arrange
some other movement. Meanwhile
the Arneiican forces under Gens Law
ton and McArthur are not expected
to remain idle It is thought by offi
cers of the army that Gen, Otis will
continue to advance on the enemy
and not allow them to recover fully
from their defeats of the last few days.
There is no fear that Gen. McArthur
will not be fully able to defend his po
sition against the insurgents, as he has
a whole division under his command,
and will not only be able to repulse
attacks, but will send a brigade to pur
sue the Filipinos as far north as possi
ble. Tho war department has ordered
another company of regular soldiers to
be equipped for service in the Philip
pines. It is proposed to increase the
engineer corps at Manila, and orders
were sent to Company B, Battalion of
Engineers, at Willets Point, to imme
diately prepare for transportation to
Sin Francis.o preparatory to sailing
for Manila.

I- Adversity Is Our Best Teacher.
“Culture and character coma througl
Q suffering,” writes R tv. Newell Dwight
Hillis,!) D, in the 'Pains.) ihal
Polish Perfection,” in the June Ladies
Home Journal. ‘ Life is God’s univer
»i(y ; happiness is the graduating pbint
but trouble and adversity are amor £
the chosen teachers. The world it
built for joy, but man conies io hit
full estate through the tutelage o!
sorrow. If man washes his eyes in
tears and makes his garments white
a with blood, lie, too, is promised the
throne and sceptre of the higher man
hood. Suffering is an alchemist refin
ing coarseness and transmuting bad
t into good, selfishness into sympathy.
Steel is iron plus fire. Tools are steel
plus gashing axes. Statutes are mar
r b!e plus the chisel, whose every stroke
makes sparks fly. Manhood is nature
’ plus the temptations that chisel out
character. Bronz) doors of old catbe
; drals are all of beaten handiwork, and
( character's hammered out on the
anvil of adversity ; wine comes through
crushing of grapes, and joy is a fine
spirit oft distilled from bruised affec
tions. Sin and selfishness dig great
furrows in the face, so suffering is sent
I .
in to iron the lines out smooth again.
From Paul to Livingstone, what heroic
leader hath worn soft raiment ? What
Luther or Lincoln was reared in
Kings’ palaces? It is wrestling against
opposing winds that works toughness
into trees and giantbood into men.
If the poet’s vision is ever fulfilled and
we judge the angels doing easy duty
at home, we must first, as veterns of
the old guard, achieve our scars and
bojd our tattered flags in fierce battles
upon a far-off frontier. Optimists
always, let us not ‘make believe’ and
play there are no troubles. One form
of folly is always to drag the corpse
into the banquet : another is to try
and triumph over tragedies by avert
ing our eyes.”
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public to
know of one concern in the land who are
not afraid to be generous to the needy and
suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s
, New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds, have given away over ten mill
ion trial bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs
are surely cured by it. Call on J. N. Har
ris & Son, or Carlisle & Ward, druggists,
and get a free trial bottle. Regular size
50c. and fl. Every bottle guaranteed, or
price refunded.
Dewey's Nightshirt.
Admiral Dewey used to be called
the “dandy commodore,” because he
was so careful with his clothes, says
j the Chicago Tribune Though bis
I wife died twenty years ago, it is a mat
j t*r of tradition that Dewey was never
seen without a spotless uniform, and
! never wore a pair of socks which were
darned or needed it. It is therefore
surprising to find from the records of
the navy department th.it the great
admiral, the “dandy commodore,”
’ once fought a little battle of his own
> clad in no more striking uniform than
i an immaculate nightshirt. After the
civil war Dewey was cruising in the
Mediterranean on a ship supposed to
be the old Canadaigua. The war fever
had died out, and the men frequently
deserted. On mec-j’- var boats can
not be lowered without an order, ex
cept in case of a man overboard
Several malcontents in the crew one
J night therefore raised the “man over
i board” cry, lowered a boat, and ecu’-
> tied oft into the darkness Dewey was
? executive officer of the chip, ami was
1 called from his berth. though even
j then particular a- to his dress, he
t didn’t care about uniforms when there
was quick work to be done.
He rushed up to the quarter deck
! in half a gale of wind, and promptly
i took command in spite of bis curious
> appearance He knew his men thor
’ ougbly, and acted promptly in spite
1 of the darkness.
“Come back heie, Jim Brown, lorn
Robinson, and the rest of you, ' he
j J shouted, and punctuated his remarks
t with three shots from his revolver,
t The shots, the ghostly figure on the
quarterdock and the sudden use of
s their names startled the men into
9 back to the ship, while Dewey and his
' novel uniform retired once more be
low.
This incident is vouched for officially.

5 His Idea of Luxury.
t A story is told of an old Arizona
- prospector who, after thirty years of
1 bad luck, hardship and privation
» finally “struck it rich” a few weeks
i ago in the vicinity of Flagstaff, and 1
? sold a half-interest in his “prospect
- bole” for $12,000 cash, -ay the New
t York Tribune. When the money was
t paid over to him at the bank the
. cashier, who had known him for a long
; time, remarked casually : “Well, Bill,
I what are you going to do to make
i yourself comfortable and enjoy I'fe,
t now you’ve got plenty of money?”
s Bill thought a minute in silence, and
. then, as a pleased < xpres.-mn bright
-1 ened up bis rugged face, he answered
' “I reckon I won’t eat nothin’ but
[ canned stuff hereafter ”
I That was his idea of luxury. He
i had lived so long on salt pork and
i heavy bicuits of his own manufacture
I that canned corn beef and tomatoes
and salmon represented to him the
i highest luxuries that life could afford.
