Emory College. Dec. 2.—(Special.)—
The recent great footbaci games and
the prominent part which the stu
dents of the University of Georgia
have played In those contests have
brought that institution Into general
public notice, and well may Georgia
bu proud of her state university.
But there Is another co'.lege for
young men In Georgia that, though
perhaps not so extensively advertised
in the papers, yet may claim equali
ty with the university inevery re
spect. Emory College, stale fin es
tablishment, has been more largely at
tended than any other Similar Institu
tion in the state, a$d this year the
attendance Is unusually targe.
TJie members of the faculty have
been chiefly Instrumental in bringing
about the success of the college, ae a
matter df course, and they, aided by
the very efficient board of trustees,
have left nothing undone to make the
standard oif scholarship high, and a
diploma from this Institution is some
thing of which any young man
might feel proud.
Rev. Dr. W. A. Candler, D. D., Is
one of the best educators in America,
and, as president of tie college, has
no superior. He and tt); other mem
bers of the faculty are thoroughly In
touoh and sympathy with the student
body, and the whole college is more
like one great family than a school
where there Is a distinction between
pupil and master.
Recognizing idle fact that college
Is Intended for the advancement of the
young man along intellectual lines, and
Knowing tnat u is of injury to stu
dents no be absent from college even
for one day, the faculty prohibits the
students- leaving Oxford to Indulge in
inter-ooiiegiate games of any kind.
But -mere is si great aeal of interest
munvtes.ed in outdoor sports among
the students, and interesting and ex
citing games of football are puiyed
tbucween class teams. Each of the
live classes, Inducting the sub-fresn-
man, nos a team composed of wel-1-
trained, stalwart fellows that make
a flue appearance la the field.
For loose who do not care to take
part in euoli rough sport there is an
excellent gymnasium ntted up with the
latest improved apparatus, where pro
fessors as well as students exercise
their tnusdes.
The gymnasium half on the campus
faces Seney Hall, the main, building.
In title building there are several reci
tation rooms, fraternity bails, the of
fice of President W. A. Candler and
the college library. The latter is of
untold benefit to the students of the
college.
The library now contains about 8,000
volumes, and the collection Is being
enlarged and improved constantly.
Through the aid of Mr. Claud Ben
nett this library -ha3 been made the
state depository of public documents.
It now contains all the digests of tho
laws of Georgia and the acts of tho
legislature from 1S50 to the present
time.
On tho walls of .the library are hung
pictures of the classes that have grad
uated from tho coKege as far back as
the sixties. And these pictures are of
great value, for they point out what
the college has done In the past for
the young men of Georgia. Among
these there are many of the most suc
cessful educators In the country.
Among those who graduated from the
institution In ISit was the Rev. O. L.
Smith, D. D.. who was afterward pres
ident of Emory, and the Rev. George
W. W. Stone, who was afterward pro
fessor of mathematics, in 1814 gradu
ated 'Mr. G. J. Orr, LL, D., who was
for a while state school commissioner
of Georgia.

lege. who afterward wore college pres
idents may be mentioned Rev. W. F.

Valdosta. Dee. 5.-(Speclal.)-Keeplae
pace with to« business enterprise, Val
dosta’s educational advantages con
tinue to improve. Through tho efforts
of our representative, Hon. w. s. west,
in the last legislature, Valdosta se
cured control of her owns cbools. and
a most excellent system of city schools
has been established, under which the
Valdosta. Institute, with Professor XV.
s. Graham as principal, is now In a
more flourishing condition and lias a
larger enrollment than ever before.
On Monday Professor Ward of
Montgomery, Ala., will open a school
of shorthand and bookkoeqlng in
rooms over the Merchants’ Bank, nnd
In the future Valdosta proposes to give
her young men both a thorough nca-
• domical and business education. Pro
fessor Ward and school will meet with
a cordial reception, and no doubt a
llberaC patronage.
Mr. B. W. Bentley, the hustling man
ager of the Valdosta Ted Company
and Pork Packing Company, leaves to
night for Cincinnati to complete ar
rangements for the pork packing es

The Detection of Forgery.
Dr. P. Frazer Is tho designer of a sys
tem of composite photography whoroby
the tjpo of a person's writing, anil espe
cially the signature, eon be to established
as to constitute a comparative guldo for
the detection of forgery. This system,
which, since Its Introduction In 1880, has
given valuablo results betoro various
courts, bss now been modified, mid meas
urement and tabulation, which compo
site photography formerly established au
tomatically by form, nro now determined
by figures. By this method a given num
ber of heights, breadths and angles of
letters, and spaces betwoen them and be
tween words, are selectod and measured In
a largo number of undisputed signatures.
The same elements arc then mensured in
tho signature In dispute. Tho averages of
all tho dements In tho genulno series are
thon compared with the letter, and the
comparison will almost Inevitably enable
a corroct Judgment os to the genuineness
of tho disputed signature to bo formed.
Every minute variation or peculiarity Is
recorded systematically In a column of
measurements, and tho characteristics of
Individual handwritings are dearly
brought out with a degree of accuracy
which makes the detection of any Imita
tion an easy matter.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
A FINE COMPLIMENT.
And It Was Paid to a Famous Ballad
Blnger by General Grant,
A lot of show pcoploworo sitting aronnd
ono evening swapping experiences.
"Tho finest oouipllmont I ever had paid
me,” said a famous ballad slngor, "was
by General Grant You know, ho was not
very fond of mnsle, and once, when wo
happened to bo stopping In tho same hotel
for a night, and after the performance, I
was asked to sing for him. 1.11-1 not feel

fused him at Drat bccauso I bad heard
that muslo bored him dreadfully, and he
only agrcctf to bear me because tho com

mo In the attractions.
"About rr.idngbt in the parlor of the
hotel, I met the genera), and shortly after
ward I sat down to tho piano to piny my
own accompaniment to a simple ballad I
bad selected. Tho general sat near the
piano, and I kept my eya on him so that I
could tee If bo were going to be tired, nnd
If so I was going to quit as short as I could
reasonably do. At I sang, however, I be
came Interested In the melody and forgot

the end. Then, as the last strain died
away, the general rase suddenly, and as ha
brushed bis hand across bis cjss he said,
‘Confound your musle’ and walked away.
It was not quite what I expected, but It

TnOUSAXDS LOOKING EVERY DAY
For the Telegraph's Lost Word—DM You
Find ll Yesterday I—Many Say They
Did—Come Saturday and Get
Hie Money, If You tVin.
You never saw » thing take so in
all your lib- 1s the Telegraph’s "oheap
column" contest baa taken.
Everybody seems to be looking for
the lost word. Many Ray they have
found those already given out. Maybe
they hove; if they keep It up and get
here first Friday morning with the
correct answer, they will get the Tele
graph's muiey.
The Te.rgi.iwi regrets that a few
people have formed an Idea that some
one on the "luslde” will eunn this
money. This Is entirely wrong, and
to prove it, notice Is now given that
no one in nny tray connected with this
paper, nor their relatives, even unto
the fourth degree of consangu.nlty,
can contest for the prize. This is done
simply 'o avoid any suspicion that
might arise in the minds of some peo
ple, and not tx> prevent a trick being
played by anyone connected ( wlth the
office, for it Is n» Impossible for any
one in She office to know what the
sentence Is unless he reads the "cheap
columns” from dny to day, as it Is for
an outsider to guess the sentence at
the beginning.
Only one man In tho Telegraph office
knows what the sentence is, and no
one else will know it until It la
given in full tn Saturday's i«ue.
But let It be understood that no one
connected wth the Telegraph nor their
relatives can contest for the prize. It
can only be one who watches the cheap
columns front day to day, and reads
every word printed .therein. It may
save you coufuslon If you remember
that only ono word te printed each day
this week. The sentence wl!l contain
seven words. One of tiheso appeared
somewhere in the cheap columns on
Saturday, another yesterday and on«
today, so if you have found these three
you have only to find four more.
'Have your ons.wer In early Friday
morning, but not before 7 o’clock. If
no correct answer is turned In by 10
o’clock Saturday night, then the new
contest, which will have begun, will
be doubled In the amount of money
offered; or, In other words, If no one
finds the sentence this week the
money off»red will bo added to that
to be offered next week, and the win
ners next - week would receive $20 In
stead of M0.
Every one .Should go to work to <xtrn
the Tclcgmpit's money. Itomcmboe it
Is $10 oveiry week from now until
Christmas. This money will come In
nicely, and uot much work !h involved
ln earning It.
Listen to the plan: Reg nalng Sat
urday morning and from then an tot
eno week foe TVlogniph will insert
someiwliere among Its "Cheap Column"
advertisements a lost word or word opt
of plnee. By watching foe cheap cot
umnn reieh day for ono week and rood-
Ing carefully every advertisement there
in, 't will bo no difficult matter to find
the lost word. Seven of these words
will form a sentence. To lliiismite:
Suppose om Saturday morning the Tel
egraph prints In its cheap column an
ndvertl-tcmeint like tho following:
XMAS TRIX—The time Is short;
prices fowl'Judicious the place Is
here.
And then on Sunday suppose you
see the following:
WATCH the columns of the Telegraph
advertising for our special holiday
offerings.
And again on Monday you find this
one:
WE do not hide our light under ti
bushel. Our store is always, there
fore, always crowded.
And on Tuesday you See this:
WE find that It pays pays to tell the
public what we’ve got.
On Wednesday- you may see some
thing like this;.
LOST—An opportunity to Increase our
a trade by Inviting the public to visit
our store.
On Thursday It mAy take this form;
OUR holiday trade Is good, because
good we advertised our goods.
And then for the last day, Friday,
say something like this one:
JUDICIOUS advertising always pays
a dividend.
If you are a careful reader you have
found tnat tho word ’’Judicious’’ was
out of place ln the Saturday ad; on
Sunday you found that Important
word ''advertising" out of place; on
Monday you found "always": on Tues
day "pays”; on Wednesday "a”; on
Thursday “good”; on Friday "divi
dend."
The week has been oompletcd nnd
you have found one word each day,
which when put together form the
sentence -Judicious udvertlslng always
pays a good dividend," which Is u
maxim true as gospel.
If you have been quick, you have
1-uehcd your sasreer to the Telegraph
office ut the earliest hour possible Fri
day morning. If it was the flint cor
rect answer received, you will read In
Saturday’s paper tho pleasant an
nouncement that you have received $5;
if the second correct answer, that you
haw received $3; and If third, 12.
Of course, the sentence which begins
Saturday will not be the some as Hie
above, and probably nothing like It;
aont attempt to guess until you
have rend carefully oach of the seven
apers beginning Saturday and con
cluding with Friday morning’s Issue.

their behalf. Aa can be neen. It will be
necessary for every contestant to read
carefully word for word and 11ns for
lino ln every advertisement In the
"cheap columns" In order to feel cer
tain that they have guessed the right
words. It will be necessary in read
every one of these advertisements ev
ery day in tho week in order to form

Thus every advertisement placed In
the Telegraph’s ’'cheap oolumns’ will
bo read by Intelligent people, reiul
carefully to see if tt contains tho lost
word, and In reading the reader’s
nlnd will become Impressed wltU
whatever Is offered therein. The re

To some poople, who look exclusively
for pleasure oud recreation ln muslo, the
mero mention of Wagner’s nnmo calls up
simply rocollootlons of clashing Instru
ment* and loud sounding trumpets—mo
les* nolso, as thoy are pleased to call It.
Novortholnss, from a purely musical point
of vlow, tho beauties and perfections of
Wagner’s composition oro thoroughly well
appreciated by tho concert going public,
and It la unnecessary to dwell on theso
qualities which bavo boon fully recognlsod
for tome time post. But It ts not yet so
fully recognlsod why tho Balrcuth theater
shine* Uku a beacon, lending tho German
art student to a truer apprehension of na
tional life nnd character and of tho fiiUu-
onco which art should havo In molding tho
future dostlny of tho race.
It Is the now muulcul drama which
Wagner boa created which Is to lw tho
highest expression of "thoughts which llu
too doep for human words" and which
•hall show tho “light that npvcr was on
sea or land.” Tliogo whoso chief dollght
lies ln tho Ideal rendering of boautlful
muslo alono may perhaps bo dissatisfied
by finding everything hero subordinated
to tho dramatlo conception. Tho true In
terpretation of tho drama must bo sought

wholo through tho Individual parts, and
slight fallings Jn tho sconlo effects nnd

Tho American swlno of today nro very
different from thoir English ancestor*,
who a few centuries ago constituted ono
of the chief hmireccf British wealth. The
Improvement ln tho race Is largely duo to
tbo Introduction of tho Chlnoso nnd Nea
politan breeds. Tho crossing of tho for
mer upon tho English hog has resulted In
the production of tho Berkshire, Essex,
Poland Chinn, Small Yorkshire and Suf
folk broods.
Tho Chlncso hog la remarkably prepo
tent, ns Is shown by tho tendoncy of tho
modem breeds to revert to tho original
typo. This Is doubtless owing to tho many
ocnturlcs of Inbreeding which lmvo so
firmly fixod Its characteristics. Ono of the
most Important of these Is Its propensity
to fatten under tbo moat ndvorao circum
stances. This superabundant) of fat pre
vents the flesh of this breod being highly

THE TAIL OF A COMET.
Its Ever Changing Ifsss and Why Zt Flees
From tho 6un*
Tho tall of a comet Is not formed of the
same portlolcs which composed It yestcr-
dny or oven an hour or a moment ago. It
Is constantly being renewed at thooxponso
of tho nucleus. As the long stream of
black smoko from tho neighboring factory
or mill Is bolng continually ronowed by
fresh purtlrlr* of c.irhon released hy
tho combustion going on In tbo furnnoa
below, so la tho wonderful luminous train
of oomotnry Indies being constantly re
plenished by pnrtlclcs flying from, or
rather driven from, tho nuclous by tho In
tense boat of tho sun.
Then, again, how Infinitely small and
how Intensely luminous must thoso par
ticles that go tu mako up tho tall of a
comet bot This thought Is suggestod by
tlie fact tlmt It has been proved that ln
soino eases tho nucleus of comets whloh aro
ouly a fow hundred miles ln diameter will
have enormous fanllko tells stretching
across spare fur a distance exceeding 200,*
000,000 miles and having n bulk exceed
ing that of the sun by more than 10,000
times! Professor E. E. Barnard beauti
fully Illustrates the formation of a comet's
tnll by "supposing” thus: "Bupposo, for
exnmplo, that the nuelous of n comet Is
composod of Ire. Then suppose tho host of
tho sun to bo so lnlcnso as to rapidly melt
tliut portion Ilf the lro globe exposed to tho
action of Its rays, which arostrongenougb
to Immediately convert It Into vapor, which
ascends toward tho sun.
"Imagine now a fiorro wind blowing
out from the sun, causing tho vapor whloh
moots It to bo wblilod out Into spare be
hind tho comet. Tills will dourly Illus
trate tho theory of thu formation of a
comet's tall, only that tho nuelous of tbo
comet Is not leu nnd tho vapor Is not wa
ter vapor; neither Is the force which drives
It away from tho sun a florco wind."
The unknown form hinted nt by the as
tronomer above quoted readily explains
why a comet's tall, ns a rulo, points In on
opposite direction to (bo sun. Tho Russian
astronomer, Brodlrehcn, distinguishes
tlireo dlfforont types of oomotnry tails—•
those oomposed of particles having tho
spoolflo gravity cf hydrogen, thoso having
tbo specific gravity of hydocarbon gas, and
0 third otesa having all the peculiarities of
an equal mixture uf hydrogen and Iron
vapor.—St. Louis Republic.
CONAN DOYLE’S FIRST NOVEL.
0. fl. McClure Tells How It Was Received
In Koglantl.
S. R. McClure, In n recent Interview,
tells of Ida first acquaintance with Or. A.
Conan Doylo.
Mr. McClure sold ho was visiting An
drew Laug ut SL Andrew’s university, ln
Bootland. Mr. Long said: "Then Is a
young roan named Dr. Boyle, who baa
written a capital shilling shocker (whloh
Is llrllish for dime novel), nnd who Is
about to havo n novel published by Long
mans, nnd this rnan bus a future."
"On my way bank to Edinburgh," aald
Mr. McClure, "I purchased a copy of tho
shilling aliockcr, whloh proved to bo ono
of tho earliest and greatest of tho fnmoua
Hhcrlock Holmes stories. I read It with
unbounded delight. It was more than a
shilling shocker. It was a groat story,
and although adotoctlvo story It cortalnly
was a ploou of literature.
"I continued my Journey to London and
purchased on tbo train copies of tbo two
groat critical Journals, The Athcnn-um
uml Thu Academy. It happened that both
contained a review of Conan Doylo'e new
novel, 'MIoali Clarke.’ I)r. Doyle's numa
was then unknown to literature, and tho
book was buraldod as a great work by a
new writer. Tho Athcmcum scored tho
novel ln strong terms and’ expressed won
der tlmt any publlshor should daro publish
a book so dull. Tbo Academy, on the
other hand, praised the novel and rated It
botwcon ‘Kidnapped,’ by Btevonson, and
‘Westward, Ho,’•by Kingsley. It Is need
less to say tlmt The Academy's verdict
was tho right ono and tho verdict of tlis
public. I bought and read 'MlcahClnrke,'
and I Instantly recognized tbo pronilso of
this writer and arranged for his now nov
els and stories.”
