THE DEATH LIST GROWS northeastern Bliuard is Raging - Again on the Coast- 80.-ton, No*. 30 —News of the lose of the Boston and Portland Steam Packet company's steamer Portland off Cape Cod, and the death of more than 150 persons, comprising the pas sengers and crew of the steamer, and news from hitherto unheard of ports in Cape CoS; showing that at least a score and a half vessels were wrecked along that shore with loas of 12 lives, has come as a dire climax to previous reports of disasters resulting from Sat*, urdey’s storm, There are other places to be heard from on both sides of the cape, which have not been reached by train on ac count of washouts and which are cut off from other means of communica tion by broken wires, blocked high ways and shattered bridges. Up to today, while the loss of life cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, it is known that more than 200 people perished. This esti mate is made on the basis of only one from each crew reported missing, and each of which would include at least three, while the larger schooners would have 7 or 8 men aboard. Another heavy northeast snowstorm started in here just before 7 o’clock thia morning, and an hour later had settled down in away that promised several inches of enow at least. A brisk wind of twenty miles an hour was blowing from north-northeast. These conditions will greatly interfere with the work that is being done at pointe where vessels were wrecked, as > the sea is running high and the show is thick on the water. Ho Soldiers Yet. A great many of our citizens were of the opinion yesterday thst Camp Northen was soon to be alive with sol dier! again. Wherjethia report originated we do krow, unless some one seeing Lieut. L. H. Kenan, who always super intends work at Ca.np Northen, and a large force of bands going out to the camp ground, supposed be was here to prepare for the coming of a regiment or two of soldiers. Lieut. Kenan was seen by —a Call reporter, when he stated that no sob diers would be sent here for some time yet, that be knew of, and it is possible Griffin may not be selected as a winter camp at all. He was sent to Griffin to clean up Camp Northen after the departure of tbe Third regiment, which will require four or five days, after which he will return to Atlanta Lieut. Kenan said, when asked about the refusal of tbe legislature to make an appropriation for the state militia, that there was no state militia now, consequently no money is need ed. The appropriation of $30,000 for this year has not been, used, and it will keep the militia up after it is or ganised, until an appropriation will be forthcoming. At the Night.

Beys Were Escorted to School Ju»4 im Girls Are Sow. The extraordinary care that the Gre cian boy received in his formative years made his moral training more effective than that inculcated by the most careful of modern parents. His general educa tion, coupled with skillful and continu ous physical instruction, produced a moral cultivation very similar and fully as strict as that the Christian father deems necessary for his daughters. A pedagogue, generally an old and trusted slave, led the boys to school and called for them after it closed, carried/ the books, looked out for the little boys, kept the older ones from fighting and falling into bad company and had a general oversight of their conduct and street form. He was by no means a schoolmaster or even a private tutor, not even being allowed to enter the school room. Oftentimes ignorant in the ex treme, he was chosen simply because of his loyalty to the family and some times, I fear, because he was unfit for any otber occupation. Though tbe butt of the boys’ ridicule as well as that of the comic poets and low wits of the day, he did an incalculable service ju prevent ing vicious companionshipsand keeping pure the minds of those intrusted to his charge. The child was never sentoff to board ing school, but boys attended tbe day school; town life prevailed. Besides, that sentiment that zealously guarded the boy’s purity with a pedadogue from his sixth to bis sixteenth year could brook do intermission of personal over sight. Education was essentially pri vate, the state having jurisdiction sipr ply ever the moral and not the profes sional, standingof the teacher. —Popu- lar Science Monthly.

Lake St, Chicago GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1898. WILL REORGANIZE MILITIA- General Order Issued a Month Ago to Take Effect The organization of the state militia will begin today, regardless of the Tact that tbe appropriation committee of tbe house has virtually cut out the military money for two yearn Tbe order sent out by Acting Adjutant General Obear, on the first of this month, will be strictly followed. The order gave notice to alk the officers now enlisted in the United States volunteers who bold commissions in the Georgia militia that they would have either to resign their com tn is* sions in the United S ates forces or the state troops. Some of tbe resignations of tbe Georgia officers have been received. Many of tbem will allow their com missions 10 be withdrawn by the time limit, and in the case of the officers in the Second Georgia who wish to re* main in the slate’s service the time will be extended. Major W. J. Kendrick, who holds a commission in tbe Second Georgia regiment, United States volunteers, and also in the Fifth regiment Geor gia volunteers, has eent his resigna tion of tbe latter commission to Act* ing Adjutant Obear. His resignation has not been accepted yet and be may be prevailed upon to remain in the service, as it is now certain that he will be mustered out of the service of the United States in a few days. It wae stated by Colonel Obear yesterday that the time limit of tbe officers of tbe Second Georgia would be extend* ed, as they would be out of the gova ernment service in a very short time. Tbe resignation of Capt. Amos Bak er, who is a captain with tbe Third Georgia regiment, U. S volunteers, and is also major i» the Fifth regi* ment, has not been tendered. His commission will probably be forfeited. This will leave the Fifth regiment without a major. Col. Candler contin* uea in command. A number of resignations of officers in all parts of the state have been re* ceived. There are many, however, who have not been beard from and their commissions will be forfeited after Dec. Ist. A military man said last night: "While the lack of appropriation may not materially effect tbe militia of tbe state, it will prevent any en campments for two years and I believe the soldier boys will lose interest in the militia Tbe troops are fairly well equipped and their arms will remain with them. No money will bs expend ed in buying new arms and those com panies which are not equipped will ,have to wait for at least two years.”— Constitution. ■+ >■ The Sure La Gripps Cure.

Third Georgia Will Not Move Ito Camp If the Weather Is Bad- It baa not been definitely decided whether tbe Third Georgia Regiment wilt change its quarters today or not. If tbe weather is good tbe chances are that tbe work of moving may be begun; otherwise it will not. The new camping ground for tbe Third Georgia is now in good shape, the water supply having been put in an 4 the company streets staked off. The regiment, however, is not suffer ing in its present quarters at the Georgia car works, and there is no neoeasi’.y for moving in bad weather. Tb| regiment in fact is quite com fortably quartered since its tents are set*up under the sheds and no‘ rain falls upon them. Tbe wind, too, is shit off, and altogether tbe boys are getting on finely. It begins to look as if tbe Third Georgia will soon be attached to tbe Seventh Corps. No orders have been received with regard to it in some days. One of the staff officers when asked about it yesterday said : “The only definite thing with regard to the stay here of the Third Gsorgia is tb.at it $s indefinite.”—Savannah News.
