THE GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA
IMPOBTANT MEETING OF THE
BIBECTOBS TO-DAY.
Nome New Officers Blcctcil—Looking «•
Ike Next Assembly.
From Monday's Evening Herald.
The Board of Direotors of the Geor
gia Chautauqua Association held an
important meeting in the First- Na
tional Bank at 10 o’clock this morn
ing.
The committee previously appointed
to solicit subscriptions to a guarantee
fund to cover any detloit that may
ooour between the expenses and re
ceipts of the next Assembly made
their report, and, the same being sat
isfactory, the Direotors voted unani
mously to continue the Chautauqua
work and have the usual spring As
sembly.
Mr. J. S. Davis tendered bis resigna
tion as Seoretary and Superintendent,
and nominated Mr. IL M. McIntosh
for the position. Then Capt. B. Hobbs
tendered Ills resignation as President
and nominated Mr. J. S. Davis as his
successor. Capt. Y. G. Rust was called
to the ohalr, and, by unanimous vote,
the resignations of Mr. Davis and
Capt. Hobbs were accepted and
Messrs. Davis and McIntosh elected,
respectively, as President and Secre
tary and Superintendent. Mr. A. W.
Muse was re-elected Assistant Secre
tary, and will keep thereoords and ac
counts of the Association.
It was decided that the next As
sembly will have to be held in the
tent tubernaole, but a oommittee, con
sisting of Capt. R. Hobbs, Capt. Jno.
A. Davis and Mr. A. W. Muse, was ap
pointed to go before the City Counoil
and renew the proposition made last
summer for the oity and the Associa
tion to ereot a building together on
the Association’s lot on the corner of
Jaokson and Pino streets. This oom
mittee will go before the City Council
at the Counoil’s next regular meeting.
Other matters of concern to tlio As
sociation and looking to the success of
the next Assembly were discussed,
and the ground work for an Assembly
that will eclipse all its predecessors
was laid.
The time for holding the next As
sembly was not definitely flxed, but,
upon motion of Capt. Hobbs, the third
and fourth weeks in May were recom
mended, and will be adopted if it is
found that ail things can bemade to
work together for that time.
A Charitable Pawnbroking Enterprise.
At the Suggestion of Mr. Alfred Bishop
Mason, the Charity Organization society
has concluded to form ft-oin its members
and from others a corporation to be
known as the Provident Loan company,
with a capital of $100,000. In order that
the company shall not fall into the hands
of undesirable persons who would seek
to make a profit out of the business, ft
will be stipulated that no transfer of
stock shall bo made without the consent
of the board of directors, which shall
consist of nine shareholders.
The articles of association, or the
charter, if n special charter be obtained,
will Htipnlate that no dividends shall be
paid in Btock or securities or in any
thing but cash, and that these dividends
shall not be greater than 6 per cent, per
annum. Snch a provision, it is hoped,
will keep the institution within chari
table lines and remove as far as possible
the temptation for its capture by selfish
persons for the sake of its accumulations
and earnings. Another stipulation in
the same direction will he that should
the reserve fnnd accumulate above the
estimated needs of the company the di
rectors shall either reduce the rate of in
terest to borrowers or distribute the sur
plus to publio or private philanthropic
corporations or societies.
Now this loan company will do a kind
of pawnshop business, and be to the
poor somewhat as is the Mont-de-Piete
in the Latin countries. So that the com
pany may bs a kind of branch of the
Charity Organization society, It will be
the pplicy of the company to give prefer
ence to such borrowers as are recom
mended by this society and kindred or
ganizations. So far as tbs poor are con
cerned who bare come within the ken
of these societies snch a stipulation will
be very well, bnt here again will come
in the very difficulty before mentioned
that frequently makes inoperative the
well intended efforts of these organiza
tions.
A man or woman may be in a tem
porary stress of poverty, where actual
itarvatlon seems the next thing in
order. Still snch persons may shrink
from any investigation out of a delicacy
of feeling highly creditable. To snch,
if they must expose their wounds or lay
bare their sores, the old shop of the
golden balls will be the place to go.
Bnt still there is a ripe field for this new
company, and it will doubtless prosper,
and also do u mnch needed service to
the poor.—Harper’s Weekly.

SOME LOCAL GOSSIP.
Yesterday was a perfect Sabbath
day. It seemed as if the elements had
oonsplred to make the day of _rest one
of beauty as well as of peace and hap
piness, temperature aud sunshine
being blended in just the right pro
portion to make life out of doors the
most delightful part of the day’s' pro
gram. All day long scarcely a cloud
blurred the azure depths of heaven’s
canopy o’er bead, and heaven’s bless
ings bestowed so freely upon rloli and
poor alike, plainly bespoke the day as
one of love as well as rest.
Mr. 8. W. Kahn, of Indiana, who
has been in the oity for some dnys look
ing after the mule trade, was chatting
with his friends on the street to-day.
How’s the mule trade?” was asked
by some one.
‘‘Well, I’ll tell you,” said Mr. Kahn,
“It’s like the short peanut orop, tile
hulls are t here, but there are no nuts
Inside. That’s the way with mules
this season. The hulls of the mules
are there, but that’s about all. There’s
about as little flesh on the mules
whloh were sold here as there is
money to pay for them.”
A simple inoident occurred on the
street Saturday night whloh oarrles
with it the evidence of the large
hearted nature of the Irishman, as
well as the faot that some of our offi
cers at least, are ready to deal justice
to the most humble and lowly as well
as to those of the wealthy and affluent
classes. Offloer was appealed
to by an old and deorepit Negro
woman to make a certain Negro man
who owed her, a considerable amount
for board, pay her as she was in needy
oiroumstances. There was quite n
bad oase against the man, and he was
sought out and compelled to pny the
money due. The old woman went off
smiling, and profuse In her thanks to
the officer. It was Ills duty of course,
but the promptness with whloh he re
sponded, and the interest lie took in
her case made it commendable.
“Do you know,” said a man promin
ently interested in farming, “that
either upland rioe or tobacoo would
make paying crops in this seotlon?
Yes,” he went on, “the only trouble
is in getting the farmers educated up
to the point where they will try the
the experiment. Cotton has about
played out as a money-making orop in
this section. Tobacoo and rioe have
been cultivated to a small extent, but
they should be cultivated here largely,
as they could be put on a paying
basis, with the same labor that is em
ployed in ootton raising.”
And the gentleman in question
knew what he was talking about.
“Albany is a very peouliar town in
one respeot from our point of view,”
said officer Barron' this morning.
“Larger orowds of Negroes oolieot
here on Saturday perhaps, than in
any other town of it-, size in the State,
yet almost perfeot order is maintained
with very little trouble. It is surpris
ing how few arrests are made on Sat
urdays, when it is considered that so
large a erowd of Negroes is oolleoted
in the small apace of one block on
Washington street.”
There is at least one serenader in
Albany whose sweet strains will not
soon again float upon the midnight
air. But a night or two ago this sweet
singer was out on a serenade, and had
just begun on that {popular ballad en
titled, “There is a Fountain Filled
With Blood.” When he reaohed the
third line the unfortunate singer and
sinner plunged beneath the flood
sooner than he had anticipated, for
from the baioony overhead came what
bis imagination contorted into a bar
rel of water, though it was only a
good-sized bucket full. However, it
sufficed to give him- a good drenching,
and he will not be-'found again soon
among the midnight ranks of sere-
naders.
Fife proof.
Among the processes for fireproofing
to which the^ attention of the directors
of the Berlrh exposition was recently
drawn, and for which awards have been
declared, are the following: For light
tisanes, a composition consisting of six
teen pounds ammonium sulphates, five
pounds ammonium carbonate, fonr
ponnds borax, six pounds boric acid, fonr
pounds starch—or one pound dextrine or
one pound gelatine—and twenty-five gal
lons water, mixed together, heated to
80 dogs. Fahr.,nnd the material impreg
nated with the mixture, centrifugated
and dried, and then ironed os usual.
One quart of this mixture, costing only
a few cents, is sufficient to impregnate
fifteen yards of material. For curtain
materials, theatrical decorations, wood
and furniture, thirty ponnds ammo
nium chloride are mixed with so much
floated chalk as to give the mass con
sistency, and it is then heated to from
125 degs. to 150 degs. Falir., and the
material to be treated is given one or
two coats of it by means of a brush. A
pound of this, costing only a mere trifle,
is sufficient to cover five sqnare rods.—

Crespo's Gorernmrut Bias Been Estab
lished and la Itrcozalsed br
the Culled (Slates.
In a letter written fortheNew York
Herald General Jaok Quin Crespo tells
of his sucoess in the Venezuelan revo
lution.
It began on the 20th of February
last, Ct-espo having at that time but
eleven followers nrmed with winches
ters. O11 the plains of the Orlnoca he
gathered a bund about him which soon
grew to an army of over 8,000.
Rublio sentiment and the best mili
tary talent of the Republio was from
that time with the Revolutionists who
went, on from sucoess to suouess, ex
periencing but few lasses, until he
captured La Gnayra, the principal port
of Venezuela, which was the laBt con
test of any moment and practically de
cided tile fate of the Republio.
After this battle Pulido, the Presi
dent, and his cabinet fled from Caracas,
the oapital, and Crespo's entrnoo was
practically unhindered. The entire
Republio is now In the hands of the
Revolutionists. Gen. Crespo thus
oloses his letter:
“Never In the history of Venezuln has
suoli a popular uprising been known.
Why Just think of it! I went out a
few months ago with less than a dozen
followers. When I came baok 14,000
men followed mo into Caracas. Who
cun say that the oountry was not with
me?”
This revolution has been of peouliar
interest to people of tills oountry on
account of the action of that govern
ment toward some American citizens
who were there at the time, hut Minis
ter Suruggs, who Is a Georgian, man
aged to keep our diplomatic relations
straight.
General Crespo is now provisional
President of the Republio. Minister
Soruggs lms officially recognized the
new Venezuelan government in behalf
of the United States, and his notion
was reported to Washington and re
corded a day or two ago.

A despatch from Berlin says: “At 1.80
o'clock this morning the German empress
gave birth to a daughter, the first daugh
ter born to the iinporiul couple. The
child woh bon: in the puluco of Potsdam.”
The birth of a daughter to the Ger
man empress is said to respond to the
most earnest hope of herself and the
emperor. An old proplieoy, made mfitly
years ago by n Catholic monk and found
in the Prussian archives, is said to have
affected the royal couple greatly. The
prophecy says that “after receiving a
mortal blow from a conqueror who shall
come from the west (supposed to be Na
poleon I), the German empire shall he
erected again two generations later by
a monarch of a new dynasty (Emperor
William I), who will live to a great age,
rule long and, owing to the wisdom of
his government, he beloved of all his
subjects. He will he followed by a
monarch who will have but a short reign
(Emperor Frederick), and the lattor will
be followed by a third monarch, who
will have Beven sons, none of whom shall
succeed him.”
The six children born to the empress
np to this time are all boys, and tho ap
parent fulfillment of the old prediction
in the cases of William 1 and Frederick
William seriously depressed the em
press. The force of the old prophecy
for the Hohenzollerni is now broken.

was surprised by a thunderstorm. One
of the waitresses of the inn seeing the

—he left the forest in considerable hasto
—fan out to him with one. The prince
gratefully accepted it, saying, “Yes, my

shelter than to walk along unprotected
in the rain.” He offered the maiden hie
