From Tuesday's Daily Herald.
The Thirteenth Annual Assembly of
the Georgia . Obantnnqna'1b now well
under way, and the programme is being
carried ont without a hitch or necessity
for ohange. There were no exercises in
the Auditorium yesterday morning and
afternoon, but a large auflienoe turned
out in the evening to witness the formal
opening of the assembly.
AH the departments of the assembly
are making progress that is to be con
sidered highly satisfactory. The physi
cal culture classes are still hard at work
and are deriving great benefit from the
training they are receiving under Miss
Teager. Those who have joined the
Bible Normal olass are finding Mrs.
Bryner> instruction of inestimable
value, and her meetings are growing in
interest
The Teat hers’ Institute continues to
, hold two sessions dally at the court
house. Many teachers who wero not
present at the organization of the Insti
tute yesterday morning have since ar
rived, and the superior court room is
well filled morning and afternoon.
PitOfessor E. O. B auson arrived lost
night, and is now assisting Professor
Euler B. Smith in the Institute work.
In none of its dcnnrtments 1b the
Thirteenth Aiinual Astrtnbly encounter
ing adverse winds, and its sncoess seems
assured. Tomorrow will be’one of the
“big days" of the week and the city
will be thronged with thousands of
visitors.
• * LAST NIGHT'S EXKKCISEK.
The formal opening exercises of the
Thirteenth Annual Assembly of the
Georgia Chautauqua took plaoe last
night in the presence of a large audi-
* enoe. The programme of the evening
was a varied one and somewhat differ
ent from those heretofore observed on
opening nights.
gjQf course, no. opening night would be
complete without some impromptu re
marks from Dr. W. A. Duncan, one of
the superintendents of instruction and
the Nestor of the Chautauqua move
ment in this section. For the thirteenth
time since the Georgia Chautauqua hot
been an institution, he advanced to the
front of the platform last night, smiled
broadly for a moment and then said, ip
that strong, genial voice which - Alban
ians would know among ten thousand,
“Fellow Georgians.” Then he smiled
some more and everv face in front of
him smiled responsively.
The doctor's remarks were short bnt
sparkling and full of warm greeting.
He welcomed the large audienoe on be
half of the Chautanqua management
and expressed thankfulness that the as
sembly had opened under such happy
auspices Before taking his seat he in
troduced Mr. J. S. Davis, his associate
superintendent of instruction.
Mr. Davis always speaks in a happy
vein, and while his remarks last night
were brief, they elicited considerable
applause.
Dr. John Henry Barrows was also
called on by Dr. Duncan and spoke for
about fifteen minutes in a happy vein.
Taking for a text a reference previously
made by Dr.JDuncan to the 0. L. S. O.
work, Dr. Barrows spoke of the import
ance of libraries and the reading of good
books. The importance of exercising
care in the selection of all onr rcading
matter was strongly emphasized, and
his remarks made a lasting impression
on those who heard them.
Mr. A. W.. Muse, president of the
Georgia Chautauqua Association, also
made a short talk, taking occasion to
appeal to the people of Albany for Bnp-
port of the Georgia Chautauqua, an in
stitution whioh has done so muoh for
our oity and seotion and will do more.
The evening’s exercises oonoluded
with two illustrated leotures, the former
by Mrs. Frank A. Oattern and the latter
by Mr. Oattern. Mrs. Cattern's enter
tainment Is nniqne, but owing to its
length and the lateness of the hour
when it began it could not be com
pleted. She tellB the story of Mr. Shel
don’s famous book, "In His Steps,”
illustrating it with stereoptioon views
thrown on a large oanvas. The viewB
themselves are remarkably true to life
and must have cost a great deal of
money and patient labor. The story as
Mrs. Oattern tells it is full of interest,
and great regret was expressed last
night that she was unable to finish it.
Mr. Oattern followed with a short
looture on "The Chautauqua Idea in
Pioture and Story.” Mr. Oattern is
field secretary of the O. L. S. O., and he
has an interesting leoture. It is bright
ened by many beautiful views taken on
and aronnd Lake Chautauqua and gives
to those who have never visited that
oharming spot a splendid idea of its
beauties.
TODAY'S EXERCISES.
One of the very best literary lectures
ever heard on our Chautauqua platform
was delivered this morning by Rev. W.
W. De Hart, of Tampa, Fla. His sub
ject was “The King of English Poets."
With such a foundation on whioh to
build his structure a leoturer enjoys dis-
tinot advantages. . But though the life
and writings of the bard of Avon have
been the theme of anthprs and leoturers
for nearly four centuries, its pos
sibilities are unlimited, and every
generation of mankind uncovers
new beauties. The speaker this
morning, though "threshing over old
straw” in one sense, handled his subject
so well that his audience was delighted.
Mr. De Hart's voice and personality are
pleasing and he speaks with ease and
fluenoy. His leoture this morning
showed that he had been a careful
student of the King of English Poets.
His was what may bo considered an
ideal Chantauqaa lecture, and was
especially appropriate in vie.w of the
fact that today is the anniversary both
of the birth and death of Shakespeare.
TEACHEE8’ INSTITUTE.
At this morning's session of the
Teachers’ Institute Professor Branson
was present and joined forces with Pro
fessor Smith, who had charge of the
meetings yesterday. These two tduca-
•tors are doing a great work in the pres
ent large-gathering of teaohers, and
many parties who arc not teaohers at
tend the daily sessions with pleasure
and profit to themselves.
A fealureof this morning's session was
an address to {ho teachers by Dr, John
Henry Barrows. It had been announced
that he would make a short talk to the
teachers, and the superior,court room,
in which the Institute holds its meet
ings, was crowded at the appointed
hour, 10 o'clock. Dr. Barrows talked
entertainingly (Albanians hare discov
ered that he can talk no other way) of
India, and biH remarks wero received
with undivided attention. He took oc
casion to express his keen appreciation
of the warm welcomo he had received
at the hands of Georgians. Mr. Frank
A. Oattern also made a short talk to the
teachers just prior to their adjournment.
In the Institute work the schedule as
originally arranged and published is
now being closely followed.

SUCCESS OF TIE ASSEMBLY

From Thursday’s Dally Herald.
The streets of the oity yesterday after
noon presented an animated appearance,
especially while dress parade wqs in
progress.
This interesting military oeremony
was gone through with on Broad street,
and was witnessed by seven or eight
thonsand persons.
The right of the regiment rested op
posite the month of Oonrt House Avenue
and extended to a point about In front
of Oox & Livingston’s stable. The cer
emony passed off smoothly and was
greatly enjoyed by the large oonoonrse
of onlookers. The parade oonolnded
with the passing In review of the regi
ment before Governor Gaudier, who
was seated in his oarriage at the inter
section of Broad and Washington
streets.
The Governor paid Oolonel Wooten a
high compliment on the appearance of
his regiment, and it was the opinion of
all the spectators that a more creditable
showing oonld not have been made by
any thirteen companies in the state
militia.
Most of the visiting Boldiers left the
oity for their .respective homes on trains
departing between 6 and 8 o'olook in the
evening, but a number remained until
nearly midnight, the lost special leaving
over the 8., F. & W. road for Thomas,
ville and Valdosta at 11:80 o'olook.
It is probable that there were more
white persons in the City yesterday than
ever before. Some clrous days have
brought as great orowds, but! on, such
occasions tie majority ol visitors is
represented by negroes.
YESTERDAY’S CONCERT,
The second concert of the assembly
delighted a large andtence yesterday af
ternoon from 8 to 4:80 o'olook. The
success of the Ohautanqna soloists and
instrumeutists In Tuesday afternoon's

of musio lovers for the treat that was
theirs. The following programme was
rendered:

It is not an easy matter to mak&
“features" of any particular numbers
in this brilliant programme. It iB what
might appropriately be called a "well
balanced musical array-.” The selec
tions were admirable and the singers all
in splendid voice.
For the second time Professor Pauli
fnll play to his techntoal skill and
bronght. out that deop underonrrent
whioh mnsioians boll "sonl. ” His num
ber was one of the most generously ap
plauded on the programme.
Mr. Olarke sabg in eonoert for the
first time dnrlng the assembly, as did
Mr. Parkhnrst. Both these gentlemen
are, gifted with delightful voioes, and
their solos won generons applanse. The
Velio obligato to Mr. Parkhnst's "Love’s
Rhapsodie" was especially good.
To oomment on the remaining num
bers of the programme wonld be to re
peat what has already been said in these
oolumns. Miss Morgan’s double num
ber Was unusually effective, and Miss
Dollie Mayo's selection bronght gener
ons applanse,
LABT NIQIIT.
Hon. Alfred Taylor,, of Tennessee,
leotnredat the Auditorium last night
natban audience of more than two tbo
and appreciative Ohantanquans. His
snbjoct was "Poetry and Pearls. ’’
Although ex-Goveruor Robert L.
Taylor has leotnred In Albany a half
dozen times, last night was the first
time his eloquent brother has ap
peared In oar oity in the
rple of entertainer. The pnblio
has never been able to settle to its entire
satisfaction whether Bob or Allred Tay
lor Is the better speaker, bnt fee the for
mer leotnres at the AndltOrlum tonignt,
those who heard the latter last night
will have an excellent opportunity of
judging the matter * 1 for themselves.
Hon Alfred Taylor is i magnetio ora
tor and paints his word pictures ltt
glowing colors.' He throws'less humor
Into his lectures then does his brother,
though occasional flashes of bright wit
illnmined his ninety-minute dlaoourse
last night. He knows how to hold
the attention of his hearers,., and
there were no inattentive ears in his
large audienoe last night. His reoep-
tion must have been snah as to make his
heart glad, for few pnblio speakers meet
such audiences as the one whioh hon
ored him oh the oooasiou of htB first ap
pearance in Albany.
MRS. WILLIAM CALVIN CHILTON.
The management has never brought a
more deli chtful reader loan assembly
of the Georgia Chautauqua than Mrs.
William Calvin Ohilton, of Mississippi,
proved herself to be today. She is a
pleasing entertainer and an elocutionist
of rare attainments. She caught the
audienoe at the very beginning and for
nearly an nonr and a half she had every
thing her own way. She famished one
of the brightest entertainments of the
present assembly, and the largo andl-
enoe showed its appreciation with gen
erons applause.

Women are vastly more patient than
men. It is scarcely believable that a
woman, suffering past all telling, can
attend to business, and bend and stoop
with a back whose ache is agony. And
beyond all this she smiles as she bends
and stoops about her customer. A man
might swallow down an oath or keep
back a groan, but his face would be like
a thundercloud, and his voice scarcely
disguise his irritation.
For women who suffer from backache,
bearing-down pains, or other pains due to
womanly diseases, there is no other med
icine equal to Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. It regulates the womanly
functions, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness.
There is no alcohol in w Favorite Pre
scription” and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
A vegetable preparation, it cannot dis
agree with the weakest condition.

Ho said:
I don't think mnoh of. this ton*.
This man Parkhurst Is a orauk as every
one knows who has followed his course.
Booker Washington was the beat man
in that party. Washington Is a good
negro and Is doing pretty good work.
It is to his interest to get these north
erners interested in his sohoola, He gets
money ont of thorn and I don't blame
him for that at all. Dr. Carry, the Pea
body agent, Is a good man, bnt I don't
kpow mnoh nbont the others.
"The negro ooilegeo of the south do
not need the aid of these northern peq-
ple very mnoh. Do yon know that yon '
oah stand on the dome hf the oapitol of
Georgia and see more negro colleges
with endowments than you oan white

I am opposed to patting negroes In

That is a brood calling and there is rootn

Yankees who die and leave their money
to negro colleges do not understand the
