"Third: That In the meantime juvenile offenders arises in our midst we request our judges presiding over the various courts in this city, to sus pend the sentence or continue the case of the youthful violators of the law and turn over the same for a spec! fled t rm to a suitable volunteer or appointed probation officer, who ^jrill endeavr to accomplish the redemption of such juvenile offenders during their probation period.” Law Would Accomplish Good. Rev. Crawford Jackson supported the resolutions and explained that the law as outlined in the Telegraph yesterday morning would accomplish much good He said he would propose that the ministers of the city appoint probation ary officers to act until the bill Intro- duced in the House became a law There should he both white and col ored officers for this purpose. Talks were made by Rev. T. D. Ellis Mr. Chap. H. Hall and others, after which the resolutions were unani mously adopted. The following committee was ap pointed to ask the ministers of the city, both white and colored, to ap point probation officers to serve until the proposed yaw becomes effective: Rev. T. D. Ellis.

SUES FOR COMMISSION INSURANCE PREMIUM. Alleging that he is damaged in the sum of $57.17, because of the refusal of TV. S. Simmons to accept $2,000 in surance which had been previously contracted far, E. H. Holland yesterday entered suit in the superior court aga'nst the former.

THE MEN WHO WORE THE GRAY. (By Father Ryan.) Tell it as you may. It never can be told; Bing it as you will. It never can be sung;— The story of the glory Of the men who wore the gray In their graves, so still; The story of the living, Unforgiven, yet forgiving- Tbe victims still of hate, TVho have forever clung With a love that will not die. To the memories of our past Who are patient and who wait, True and faithful to the last. For the Easter morning sky. When Wrong's rock shall roll away From the sepulchre of Right, And the right shall rise again In the brightness of a light That shall never fade away, Triumphantly and glorious To teach once more to men The conquered are victorious. The conquered in the strife. Tho’ their children yet shall reign By their patience and their peace; They shall fill the people’s life, From Right’s ever virgin vein, t With the purest blood that fiow3, Trade the purer by our woes. Without stain and without cease, Till the children of our foes Shall be proud and glad to claim And to write upon one scroll Every dear and deathless name On our 'Southern muster roll. Ah! we rebels met defeat On the gory battlefield. And we flung our muskets down When our bonnie flag was furled;- But our Right did but retreat With pure honor for her shield, * And with justice for her crown * . From the forces of the world; (For against us thousands came. Money brought from every clime, But we stood against them all. For the honor of our name. Till the fated day of time * Came but to crown our fall With a fadeless wreath of fame.) Retreat Into that shrine. Back of every Southern breast, Your hearts, my friends and mine Where right finds a holy rest On the altar stairs that slope Toward the throne where reigns the just. Where we still live on In hope, And in Him we place our trust. • Is lt treason thus to sing? Why. then, treason let it be. Must we stoop to fawn on Wrong? To the Idol must we bring Our heart’s idolatry And the fealty of song? No, no—the past Is past— Tray lt never come again: May no drum or bugle blast Summon warriors to the plain! The battle’s play Is o’er. We staked our all and lost— The red wild waves that tossed The Southland's sacred barque Are sleeping on the shore. She went down in the dark. Is it wrong for us to listen To the waves that still will glisten Where the wreck we loved went down? Is it wrong to watch the willows That are drooping o’efthe grave? Is it wrong to love our brave? Are our memories a treason To the powers we must obey? Can the victors give a reason Why the men who wore the gray From our hearts should march away And should pass from us forever L ! ke the dreamings of the night* Do they want the South to sever The blood consecrated ties. The sacred bonds of sorrow That will link our last tomorrow To our gl'ry hallowed past? Ah! our hearts cry. Never! Never! For each soldier heart that fries Tn our memory still is heating: Tho’ the years are fast retreating, We' remember to the last. Nay. tell it as you may. It never can be told. And sing it as you will. It never can be sung— Mary Taylor, a negro woman, was discovered dead in bed at her home. 303 Elbert street, early yesterday morning by neighbors.

To night he issued the following state ment : "That $150,009 was turned over by the Equitahie. Mutual and New York Life Assurance companies to Mr. Cor- teynu's c>mmitt!ee has never been denied of course. It was testified to under oath before a body who could have summoned Mr. Bliss and Mr. Corteiyou to the witness stand if it had been denied. It is safe to deny Mr. Harriman’s statement because there is a not a committee before whom Bliss and Corteiyou and others can be summoned and compelled to testify. Congress has refused to make an investigation of the corporate con tributions of 1504 or to pass a law prohibiting corporate contributions in the future. The money raised by Mr. Harriman and contributed by the life insurance companies aggregated $350.- 000 was but a drop in the bucket as compared with the total contributions by railroads and other great corpora tions.

John T. Bolfeuilet's “Caught on the Wing” article in the columns of your excellent journal. In Saturday’s Telegraph he had very interesting and valuable story of monuments at various points in this State. He mentioned briefly a shaft on Greene street in Augusta—evident ly alluding to the Cenotaph in front of St. James M. E. church. South. The history of that cenotaph is full of interest; because it resulted from the first movement set on foot in the entire South with a view to honoring her "Hero Dead.” That movement was inaugurated in October, 1865.1ess than six months aft er Appomattox. Tho writer hereof was the movant. He was still on his crutches, as he was for months afterwards, from a serious wound received during the battle at Franklin, Tenn. It occurred to him one day that steps should be taken to honor those who had given their lives for the cause of the South. His thought was to have St. Juntos Sabbath school, in which he had been reared, begin the great and worthy work. He communicated his purpose to Mr. William Curren Derry.long years superintendent of the school and one of the very best men that ever trod Georgia soil, who heartily approved it. Later Mr. Derry came to him and said his son. Prof. Joseph T. Derry, whose facile pen has been devoted to telling the wondrous story of the gallsntry of Confederate sol diers on every battlefield of. the "Great War” wished to second the resolutions I proposed to offer. This request was gladly acceded to; for the latter had also been reared in that Sabbath school of indescribable influ ence and power for good. The writer dragted the resolutions which provided all the machinery nec essary to the accomplishment of the object in view. He spoke in support of the resolutions and Mr. Joe Derry followed in an eloquent speech, sec onding them. A committee was appointed and work begun. The first thought was to honor the memory of twenty-four young men who went out from the sehool to the army and yielded their lives, a heroic sacrifice on the altar of their country. La<er, it was determined to include the “Hero Dead” of Richmond County. In a few months, a goodly sum of money was in hand. and. at the earl iest possible moment, tho cenitaph was contracted for, .erected and form ally unveiled—Col. Joseph B. Cum spread. Some damage from water was done in the stores of Heinz & Sons, Op- penheim’s saloon. Brown & Allen’s dreg store and Essig Bros., clothiers. The total damage will reach, it is stated. $25,000. ATLANTA POLICE OFFICERS FORCE SUBORDINATED.

Lee. of 2C Jones avenue, dl d at the Grady Hospital at midnight as the result of burns received yesterday after noon. The girl had her young baby sister in her arms at the time her clothing was discovered to be on fire. A sister tore the infant from the arms of the burnir girl and saved its life. The girl r< mained unconscious up to the. time of her death. It was St. James Sabbath school, therefore, that first lifted a voice in favor of honoring her Confederate dead, and thus made a patriotic sug gestion to which the whole South no bly responded.

Mr. William Barton, who conducts a lumber camp near Dudley, on the M., D. & S. R- R- was in the city last night, and brought the news of a cold blooded murder among the negroes of the camp on Monday night. It was about 10 o'clock when a quar rel sprung up among the negroes con cerning some woman. During the quarrel a negro named Jesse Warren walked out of one room into another where Murray Gray and others were standing, and fired, killing Murray. Warren then fled in the darkness. Warren went also by the names of Warren Williams and Charlie Williams. He is a mulatto, about 23 years of age. He has relatives living near Tennilie. and Is supposed to have gone in that direction. He formerly worked on Mack Smith’s lumber camp near Mil- ledgeville. only the members of the commission and the official stenographer would be present at Thaw’s last ordeal, both ai- torneys for the defense and the dis trict attorney being barred. The announcement that the com mission desired to renew its private examination of Thaw came at the end of a day of many witnesses and was in the nature of a complete surprise. The decision was probably due to the conflicting character of the testimony heard today. It was another battle of alienists with those engaged by the district attorney declaring Thaw to be absolutely incapable of under standing his own condition, of realiz ing tho nature of the charge against him or of rationalljf conferring with counsel, while those' engaged by the defense declared that Thaw through out the trial had acted in a rational manner, had rationally advised his counsel in their hearing nnd fully un derstood and appreciated everything connected with his case and trial. The experts for the prosecution ad mitted that they had reached their conclusions as to Thaw’s present state of mental uhsoundness from distant observations of him in the court room and from writings alleged' to have emenated front him during the trial. Among the latter were twenty-four pages of newspaper clippings and memorandum written by Thaw as suggestions to his chief attorney, Del- phin M. Delmas, for his summing up address to the jury. Mr. Jerome’s ex perts declared these writings, intro duced before the commission by tho defendant’s own counsel to prove his sanity, were the writings of an. in sane man. The experts for th© de fense declared there was absolutely nothing in the writings upon which lo predicate an opinion of mental uu- soundness.. After the experts had finished Mr. Delmas himself took the stand, declar ed that many of Thaw's suggestions were most valuable, and that he in tended to incorporate some of the sug gestions in his summing up addre=s. The .alienists for the defense in testi fying declared that they had the ad vantage of constant personal examina tions of the defendant while the prose cutions witnesses had not. The Tombs physician, two chaplains of the city prison, several guards and a probation officer took the stand and testified that Thaw in prison had acted and spoken like a rational man. The commission decided today to ad mit the much discussed testimony of Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, who stated that ho made four examinations of Harry Thaw, the last in July. 1006. He camo to the conclu-jon at the time that Thaw was suffering from chronic delusional Insanity or paranoia, and still held to that belief. On cross-ex amination Dr. Hamilton admitted he had not examined tho defendant re cently. The defendant’s counsel fought ainst Dr. Hamilton’s testimony to ! !■ very last. The mebers of the commission cross- exam'ned several of the district at torney's alien: at length, inquiring as to the consistency of their testimony now that Thaw is insane and has been so for several years, as against their testimony at the trial when in answer to a hypothetical question they declar ed Thaw knew the nature and quality of h’s act when he shot and killed Ft'.nf.Td White, and knew that the act : was wrong Dr. Austin Fylnt declared j that Thaw was insane from the alien ists p.dnt <>f view when the homicide occurred, but was insane in the lan guage of the law. Mr. Jerome's experts, one after an other agreed that Thaw is a paranoiac and that his- case is incurable. Dr. Fylnt gave a new touch to the form -of insanity from which it is al leged Thaw is suffering, by declaring that his former paranoiacal delusions of persecution are rapidly changing into "Delusions of grandeur.” ALBERT THORNTON DIES AT HOME IN ATLANTA.
