‘•IT WAN A RIOUMK.”
Prof. Gearhart lias made a reputa
tion in Albany for being a good all
round athlete, especially as a boxer,
and several parties have tried to get
up a match with him. One or two
persons who pride themselves on tlifelr
slugging ability have by persistent
entreaty gained the professor’s con
sent to spar, always with disastrous
results for the challenging party.
Saturday morning a stranger em
tered Willingham’s Hall, where Prof.
Gearhart’s class was In session, and
was Introduced as a good boxer. He
mentioned men of reputation and
ability In New York, who he said had
tr/lned him, and although the man’s
looks-oontradlcted what he said, Prof.
Gearheart was led to believe that he
wsb talking to an experienced boxer,
Finally the Professor reluctantly con
sented to spar, the gloves were put on,
and immediately the fun began. In
the first round, a link on the nose gave
first blood to Gearhart. But his op
ponent wanted more and he got it.
The second round was a small sized
Waterloo for the too ambitious boxer,
who, after being bunged up pretty
badly, was knocked into a sitting
posture on a benoh, whero he remain
ed, He was too badly used up to con
tinue the very interesting perform

Two young gentlemen In Albany,
olerks In the same store, planned to
go calling Thursday evening. In the
oourse of the afternoon, one of the
young men caught a mouse, and think
ing to play a joke on the young ladles
whom he intended to visit, he oonflned
poor mousle In a thread box and put
the box In his hip pocket.
But the young ladles proved so en
tertaining that this lord of oreatlon
forgot about the lively quadruped In
his hip pocket, until the cover aooi'
dentally came off the thread box and
Blr Mouse was released from his
temporary Imprisonment.
There was a sudden and violent
start on the part of the young man, a
half dozen wild eapers about the room,
ejaculations and astonished stares
from the ladles, a sudden burst of
laughter from the other young man
who was “on to the sobeme," as he
rushed to his friend’s rescue.
No harm was done, but It was some,
what embarrassing to take off coat and
, vest in the presence of two ladles in
order to get rid of a mouse that had
run up between his shoulders and
seemed bent on staying somewhere in
that neighborhood.
Per Siwllsi a Wntck.
Adam Holmes was arrested and
lodged in Jail by offloor Haley Satur
day afternoon.
Adam is charged by Paul Mallette,
another Negro, with stealing a watch
from him when they were working to
gether in East Dougherty In Septem
ber last.
Mallette espied Holmes in the city
. Saturday, and swore out a warrant
before Magistrate Greer charging hlin
uvJlb larceny.
Quite a large number of teachers
have engaged board in advance for
the Institute week. This speaks well
for the Institute.
Thouqh a big crowd will be in At
bany all during Chautauqua, Gover
nor’s day will probably see more peo
ple hero than one day ever did before,
Auxx Wallace, a well-known
Negro, died of pneumonia, yesterday,
' He was a preaoher, and those who
were with him when he died say that
he died preaching.

The Teaohers’ Institute to be held qt
Albany during the approaohlng ses
sion of the Georgia Chautauqua, by
direction of the State School Com
missioner, has already been frequent
ly mentioned by the IIkbald, but un
til now it could not be definitely
stated what counties would be taken
Into'the Institute.
Commissioner Bradwell has finally
determined this matter, and will at
onco notify the county sohool com
missioners and all the teaohers In the
counties of Baker, Berrlon, Colquitt,
Dougherty, Early, Lee, Mitchell and
Worth.
The pay of teaohers and commis
sioners will go on while they are In
attendance upon the Institute just as
though they were at work in the
sohools.
Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Dr. Sanford, the
mathematician, and other distinguish
ed eduoators will be here.

A Brand Slml Sim
Thief.
Entered hr a
MoCarthy & Co’s, store, whloli Is
situated on that part of Broad street
known as Smoky Row, was broken
open with burglarious intent Sunday
night.
About seven o’clock some little dar
kles who were in the alley behind the
store saw a man working at the back
door. They threatened to call the po-
Hoe, and he moved off, A short while
after tills Anson MoCarthy, one of the
firm, entered the store with a friend
for the purpose of procuring Borne
lemons, and found the baok door stand'
ing wide open.
That burglars were, or had been, in
the store at onoe flashed upon him,
and he hurried out to oall an officer,
leaving his companion on guard. He
had aoaroely left when a man entered
the door opening on the alley, but see
ing some one elpe present turned and
ran without being reoognized.
His presenoe being discovered so
soon prevented the burglar from se
curing but little If any plunder. There
was no money in the oash drawer, and
If any goods were taken they were so
few they can hardly be missed.

Chautauqua does not absorb all the
attention at present. The weddings
that will take place this spring come
in for tbelr share of consideration,
made for an Albany lady who will
probably charm the audienSe with her
sweet alpging at the concert to be
given during Chautauqua. It is of
heavy white silk brocade, and gros
grain, made with a long train.
It is an exquisite dress, very plain
and rloh.
Miss Minnie Ehrlloh returned
from Atlanta Thursday. MIssEhrlloh
has spent several weeks in Atlanta
and has been delightfully entertained
by her many friends there.
She has Invited and expects to en
tertain through Chautauqua several
young ladles from Columbus and
Atlanta.
Mrs. D. C. Goza, of Atlanta, Is visit
ing her daughter, Mrs. H. I, Sterne, of
this olty.
Mrs. Abble Yankey, of Louisville,
Ky, Is visiting her mother, Mrs. E. C.
Davis.
A party of children were entertain
ed Saturday afternoon at Mrs. Rosa
Lee Bell's for the pleasure of Master
Goldsmith Lehman, of Brunswick.
Mrs. Mayo contemplates engaging
Mike Rose’s band of Columbus for
two evenings during Chautauqua—the
evening before and evening' of Mili
tary day. If she carries out this Idea,
the boys will probably make good use
of the orchestra two or three more
evenings of that wide-awake week.
It is thought that Miss Erskine
Richmond, of 'Atlanta, will graoe Al
bany society by her presenoe for a
short time during Chautauqua.
All of souiety is In the Columbian
Tableaux.
The participants ipet last evening
at the Knights of Pythias hall, and a
liner showing for beauty, ohlvalry and
intelligence It would be difficult to
make. Everybody was there.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Campbell, who
have been enjuylng the hospitality of
our sister town, Thomasyllle, for a
short time, returned to Albany Satur
day morning. A man may wander
away for a time, but he Is sure to re
turn to his tlrst love.
Mrs. L, J, Harris, nee Miss Aflnie
Atkinson of this atty, visited her
mother and called on various friends
Saturday. She returned to Maoon
Sunday, but haB promised to return
and assist In the Columbian Tableaux
at Chautauqua.
Miss Mamie Russell, of Chattanooga,
whole visiting Miss Jessie Threlkeld,
of this olty, has postponed her return
to her home, and deolded to partake of
the Intellectual feast and participate in
the festivities of Chautauqua.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Tloknor, of Co
lumbus, will doubtless spend Some
time with friends and relatives of this
city before Chautauqua doses.
Misses Odessa and Corrlne Morris,
of Atlanta, who have been pleasantly
entertained by Mrs. A. E. Atkinson
slnoe her daughter’s wedding,' left
on Sunday with Mrs. Harris.
They will spend a few days with
that lady in Macon, and thence on to
their home.
It’s a wise girl that wears her best
shoes on a rainy day.
The young people are beginning to
turn their steps toward the Broad
street artesian well as old Sol ap
proaches the western horizon.
It Is a rendezvous of sweethearts,
lovers and friends, and six o’clock on
warm spring and summer days finds a
Jolly, good natured crowd gathered
around and within that iron rail.
John Mohkk, a white man llviug in
the country, came into the city Satur
day, and at once began to worship at
the Blirine of Bacchus In a very reck
less manner. His repeated potations
of Albany tangle-foot made him very
hilarious, and lie started out to take in
the town. But be didn't. Ills manner
was so very boisterous that Officer
Raley had to run him in. He was
lodged in the guard house, and n case
of drunk nnd disorderly was made
against him.
Geouoia Stewart, who plead guilty
to keeping a lewd house and wits fined
$05 and costs In the County Court on
Friday, was ehrried to jail by Officers
Goodwin and KRley, Saturday. Her
fine and the costs of the case amounted
to $120. When the money was de
manded by Deputy Sheriff Godwin
Saturday evening, she could not, or
would not, pay it, and was locked up.
Likutknant Satkklkk has secured
twelve new guns for the Albany
Guards, and they are expected to be
on band in a few days. The member
ship of the company has increased so
much lately that there are not enough
guns in the company to supply the
men, if many were out at one time to
drill.
Souk of the boys who learned to
dance under Miss Morrow are afraid
they will forget the step if many
more days pass without a german..
Ir you want to get an idea of how
much Albany has improved and grown
in the last Beven years, just get a map
of the olty, made in 1885, of which
there are a number in the city, which
shows every buildingstandiugut that
time, examine it, and see what a very
large number of stores and residences
have been erected since the map wns
published.
A rkportkr of the Hkrald heard a
gentleman visiting the city make this
remark yesterday: “l have nothing
in particular to do between this nnd
next Mny, and Albany is my prefer
ence to spend this time. Of all the
cities I know of, this is the place to
enjoy life.’’
Ax Albany dentist has offered a
young lady five dollars for every one
of her teeth that she will allow him to
pull. The supposition is that the
dentist has been bitten, and hopes to
place the lady in a position where she
can't bite any more.
The Methodist church organ queS'
tion has not been settled, nor has the
enthusiasm in the project died out
because nothing is now heard of it.
The organ oommittee are yet at work
and sanguine of success.
The perpetual firing of shot guns
and rifles on the outskirts of the city,
in all directions, signalizes ^tbe
presence of the belated robins.
Yoirxq men are already engaging
teams from the stables for Chautau
qua.
Story of the Origin of the Japanese Cur
rent and Aurora Borealis.
The Japanese legend of the warn
current which flow* northward along
the coast of Japan is interesting.
A eomiactive volcano is situated
on one of the islands near the coast
of Japan where the goddees of fire
was supposed to dwell. Faraway in
the north amid the frozen glaciers
the goddess of cold was presumed to
have her abode. The two feminine
deities never came, together for a so
cial afternoon gossip, and in the
course of time, with the true inborn
spirit of all women, a gleam of jeal
ousy intervened and developed into
a mound of .anger. The goddess of
cold could not be reconciled to the
marvelous eventide brilliancy of her
southern rival.
The northom deity was blessed
with a handsome son, and the god
dess of fire had a most beautiful
daughter, whose captivating smiles
would melt the coldest heart of any
northern prince. The goddees of
cold conceived the plan of sending
an army south to bring back into
captivity the goddees of fire. Ac
cordingly a fleet of vessels, built en
tirely of ice, were equipped with the
munitions of a fairy war and all un
der the command of the Prince of
Cold, whose mother instructed him
not to return until he had effected
the capture of the fire goddess. The
vessels were manned by arctio will-o'-
the-wisps, and the sails as well astho
remainder of the ships were made of
loe.
Great was the commotion in the
realm of the Goddees of Fire when it
was known that a warlike fleet was
approaching from the north. There
were no ships to battle with the ene
my, When hope was about gone
and the Goddees of Fire was ready to
capitulate, the I*rinoee8 of Fire sug
gested that hqr mother heat tho
water and melt the ships, .The island
volcanoes again become active and
sent forth molten lava Into the sea.
The water became hot and melted
the icy ships.
All of the invaders were drowned,
except the oommandant prince,
whom the Princess of Fire, at the
imminent risk of her own life, saved
by bravely rushing into the boiling
sea and bringing the prince ashore
on a slab of lava. Both the prince
mid princess became sweethearts,
much to.the chagrin of the latter's
mamma, who Htrongly objected to
the invading warrior becoming a
member of her household and the
royal family.
The young couple, unable to obtain
the consent of the Goddess of Fire
for their marriage, concluded to elope
to the north. The prince’s mother
was very angry at the failure of the
expedition and refused to shelter the
runaways. They kept on toward the
north and passed into the arctio cir
cle, where, as the legend goes, the
light of the prir ooss (the great north
ern lights) can he frequently seen
When she is signaling to her mother
in the south. Around the north pole
the couple dwell in bliss, and thus do
the Japanese account for the origin
of the warm currents along the Japan
ooost and the aurora borealis.—Port

Artificial Motets
There used to be a vulgarism some
thing like this, “m put a nose on
you." There is an inventor in Bos
ton who early adopted it as a motto,
and today he is enabled to perform it
with neatoeas and dispatch. His con
trivance consists of a system of deli
cate springs, covered with muslin
painted a flesh color. The inventor
says’of it: "It was a mere accident
my giving any attention to the matter
at all. A friend of mine had lost his
nose through an ulcerated tooth, and
asked me to try and make him one.
I gave much time to the matter and
finally suooeeded in making him a
nose that fitted his face bo snugly
and gave him so little trouble that to
say he was delighted with it would
be putting it mildly.
"The greatest trouble I experienced
was in getting the artificial nose
painted a natural color, and for that
purpose my friend was obliged to
pass considerable time in the artist’s
chair. He is not in this city now.
and the people whero he now resides
would not believe it if told that he
was wearing a false one.”-Boston
Herald.
Card Inal Manning's Simplicity.
The late Cardinal Manning was a
toll, gaunt man. with a vigorous
frame and a largo head that was al
most completely bald. He was a tee
totaler. unlike many of his prede-
cesors, nnd ate only enough to keep
body and mind in a healthy condi
tion. When he was mode cardinal
an influential member of his flock
said to him. "I would like to see
your eminence riding in something
better than that shabby old brough
am.” "Ah I" replied the prelate, with
a twinkle in his eye, “when cardi
nals went about in fine carriages
they generally went to the devil.”—
San Francisco Argonaut.
Ad Intelligent Biddy.
A gentleman sent his servant to
inquire about a friend who had been,
ill.
“In case he should be dead find out
the date of the funeral,’’were the
girl's parting instructions.
Half an hour after she came back.
“The gentleman is very much bet
ter, sir,” she said, “and they have not
yet decided about the funeral.”—
