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 ance. He admits that he has enongh. TUB TBACHBRU* INSTITUTE. And II Pm the I.nngh m n Yrang I Instead at Ike Yenng I.ndlea i It w far 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. T« B* BUM III Albliar Darlas Ofcaa- laaaaa. 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 mmaiiABy. 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. And iumi at Fnklw la laiareal Oar ■all Headers. 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 land Oregonian. 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.”— >Terw York Herald.
