THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 147. DR BOGGS ON EDUCATION An Interesting Address Delivered at the Chas. M Neel Institute. The Rev. W E Boggs D D , chan cellor of the University of Georgia, epoke for an hour yesterday noon, in the chapel of the Nee! Institute to a fairly representative audience made up of the teachers of the schools, the pu pils of the Institute and of the seventh grade of the public school, several ministers, and a few others from the city, all of whom seemed to euj >y to the full the doctor’s free and fair pre sentation of bollege education . with special reference to,(hi S i'e Univer sity The address opened with a kindly reference to the young ladies of the Institute seated before the speaker who said that he had long been com mined to the co education of the sexes. ■ Why should one attend college?'’ The arswer, ‘‘because others do,” would not be satisfactory for—as much as money and time were too deeply involved—money that was bard to get, and time most precious, taken as it must be from the springtide of life. How much time? Nine years for pre paration, then four years to the A. B. degree. So it must be*thought over siriuusly by the boy who goes from mother and the sacred influence of home to be subjected to violent forms of tempta tion. Bear in miud one can baa man any where. Manly virtue, self reli- ! ance should be developed in the face of temptation—at college be can learn to be strong by resisting evil. College a bridge that one crosses iu parsing from home into the world—Make up your mind at the first to be a true man then laugh at the tempter; for temtkßous is everywhere else as at college. Going into business one works part of the time, at college duty calls all the time ;so temptations not so great as to those who go to the city to do business. Don’t send a boy to college till he is prepared intellectually, and morally. Let faithful home teacher have fair chance at him. Poorly prepared stu dent is always hampered. Parent ask God to convert your child before Bending him into the world, if he takes Christ with him he has the best safeguard. More temptations in small towns than in the city and the college lor boys. Again, why go to college? Because the course there is an essential part of the education began at the Kinder garten, which goes to develop perfect men and women, which education is effected through these institutions the home, church and school, all of which have the same end, perfect manhood under God. What is the perfect man? According to Huxby, he is the man who with a sound body, makes that bcdy- the slave of th® mind ; the senses subject to the reason ; the reason subordinate to the moral nature; the conscience alive to the distinction between right and wrong; then a will to which, divinely ordered, al! must ba subject ed. Hence get educatien, whose end is the training of every faculty of the man, that he may go oo towards prefection towards God. But why our State University? Be cause you may each say, “it is mine.” My is a mighty word—it implies ownership, property io. Again it was given us so long ago. Jn less than than a year after Georgia became a a sovereign state her legislature ap propriated 40,000 acres of land for this purpose, they became the foundation of our Vniversity ; therefore you, Geor glans, ought to lova it. As another reason you will always find represen tative boys there—history of Georgia shows this. Her graduates attain to highest places— governors, senators, professors. Since 1805 she has furn ished men to fight Georgia’s battles. When the charge was made by one that university men occupied so many important places, the reply was made: “Then send your boy there.” The gnawer: “And so 1 will.” There you come into contact with hearts that beating with your own will help you to lift Georgia up to highest mark. Another reason. The institution is honest in its work, and thoroughly organised and equipped. Not rich but full of life, and fully adjusted to the needs of the young men of Geor« gia We have for some who have time and money the full A. B course, two thirds language and literature, one third science. Then the elective course for those who must do what best can be done lo meet limited time and resources Still yet, we have the schools of law, engineeting and na*y electrical engineering, and finally the medical department in Augusta, than which there is none better south of the Uni versity of Virginia We give to all students in all classes beet of teaching by best of professors, while in the great universities lower classmen are taught by green young fellows called ' tutors.” Greatest power in education is the man behind the ttxl book. After the lecture many of the young people were introduced to the Doctor, who, during the day, was the guest of Supt. J. Henry Walker. After dinner Dr. Boggs was driven around the city and remarked cursori ly as he noted the improvements go ing on : “I know of no more thriving I city in the state than Griffir.” "A Breezy Time.” For the last few years, it would seem as if the public has been seeking that class of plays having as their funda mental principal, the creation of mer riment. Working for this idea, the author of “A Breezy Time” has given an amus ing and well told story that Fitz and Webster’s clever company of comedy players have succeeded iu elaborating into an enjoyable entertainment. Meritorious from the fact that it not only has all the elements of music and fun, but its story is coherent and full of well sustained interest. The three acts of ‘‘A Breezy Time” have been happily impregnated with music, songs, dances and amusing specialty features, all of which are in troduced in an easy and perfectly legitimate manner, and the presentas tion gives a bright and crisp enter tainment. The finale of the last act was ar ranged by Fitz and Webster in which they introduce a number of “Bag Time” airs, closing the show with a grand cake walk by the entire com pany. “A Breezy Time” will be at the Olympic Theatre next Monday night. The Current. The world is always changing. It is not safe to rely on the habit of your customer to do business with you and send his friends to you. The habit needs constant renewal or reinforce ment. Children are growing up and graduating into adult life; newcomers are arriving. If you cease to add new forces to the current which bears your way, it will lose strength and finally be diverted into other channels. The woman who read your advertisement three or four years ago, became your customer, liked your methods, brought her little circle to you and came and sent so regularly thatyou grew to res gard her as yours ‘for keeps,” may fall under the spell of another adver tisement writer or under the influence of another woman of greater personal force or higher social prestige. Cast your net into the sea for that other woman and you will probably get both. Do not let the tide turn against you. Jt may never return. And you never know in these days of commer cial rivalry how' small an influence may change the current of your bus iness life for or against you.—Des Moines News. A Painful Accident- W. 11.

INSTRUCTION TO OTIS He Will Deal With Filipinos in the Severest Manner Washington', Feb 24 Notwith standing the alarming situation in Manila the government has not sent any instructions to Gen Otis. No cause of complaint has appeared in connection with his campaign. It is realized, however, that Gen. Otis may feel embarrassed in t! e belief that aggressive operations an 1 summary capital punishment of the Filipinos whose influence is bad, would not have been endorsed by the Washing ton authorities, so consideration is being given to the advisability of au thorizing Gen. Otis to deal with the murderous element of the natives in the severest manner In addition to the Sixth and Ninth regiment of infantry, the Thirteenth and Twenty-first regiments will prob ably be assigned to the next expedi tion to the Philippines These will give Gen. Otis a fighting force of 30,000 men, more than enough, ac cording to Otis, to crush the rebellion in twenty days. A dispatch from Manilla says: Thanks to the effective work of the police the city was quiet last, night. Five hundred native suspects were arrested in the afternoon. Several blocks of native huts in Blulumbay and the district northwest ward and the business districts were burned by the Americans, owing to the sharp shooters concealed there. There was severe fighting during the night and morning on McArthur’s left, where the insurgents were appa rently determined to break through the lines Twelve of the Montana regiment and seven of the Kansas troops were wounded. King’s brigade has not been bother ed since yesterday, when they killed 33 The road to Caloocan is now com pletely cleared of the insurgents who were massed there yesterday. A Narrow Escape.

The course which Judge Maddox of the Seventh district of this state is pursuing in Congress in respect to claims is calculated to win him popu larity in every part of the South. Because the Republicans have control of Congress they think they are jolli fied in ignoring claims Iron, the South which have been allowed by the Court of Claims and io appropriating money for the payment only of claims from the North. Judge Maddox has served notice upon them that unless the South gets her fair share of the appro priations for claims there will not be much money appropriated for that purpose. In other words, he intends to oppose appropriating money for the payment of claims if all o' it is to go to Northern claimants. The North now gets about all of the money paid out of the treasury. It is safe to say that nine-tenths of the $150.000 000 paid out annually for pensions goes to the North, and that section gets the bulk of the other ap propriations. There are claims from the South pending in Congress which ought to have been paid many years ago, but it is about impossible to gel an appropriation fur them. The tactics which Judge Maddox has adopted will have the effect of drawing attention to the injustice which the South suffers in this matter of claims, and may result in some of the Southern claim ants getting what they are entitled to. —Savannah News For Whooping Cough use CHENEY’S EXPECTORANT.

He took into partnership a young man who had an eye for business, as well as a clear understanding of the law. When the partnership was being arranged the young man asked about fees. •‘Well,” said Mr. Pettus, in his calm, deliberate way, “ these people are pretty poor, and we do not want to be too strict in the matter of fees We will take enough to keep us out of the poor house and not enough to send us to the penitentiary,” After awhile the firm was retained in a very large cotton case. The young man took hold of the case, set tled it satisfactorily and finally an nounced his success to his elder colleague After he had rxplained how the litigation had ended, Mr. I‘ettus spoke: “How about the fees?” said he. “I stuck them for $15,000,” said the young lawyer, triumphantly. “Don’t you think that will keep us out of the poor house?” “Yes,” said Pettus, with a shudder at the seeming immensity of the sum, “but I think it will come very near putting us in the penitentiary.” % THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and I simplicity of the combination, but also i to the care and skill with which Jt is ’ manufactured by scientific processes | known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or ptrnntr <■><! r.
