Evans delivered the annual address to the Georgia division of Con federate veterans here today. The Aud itorium was Oiled with 4.000 veterans who had assembled to transact the busi ness of their organization. The streets were packed outside.

The procession was led by sponsors and maids of honor, the At lanta oamp's sponsors being dressed in Confederate grey. BULLY FOR THE PROFESSOR! Albany will probably have no more rouses this year. One should be quite sough to satisfy anybody. He Booted Out of Hie School House a Very Fresh Circus Clown. From Tuesday's Daily Herald. At the head of the oirous parade this morning, there was a down on a tioy- ole who attracted a good deal of atten tion as a triok rider. His get-up was grotesque in the extreme, and he af* forded a good deal of amusement for the spectators. But his clownship was entirely too fresh for a staid community like Al bany, as he will have cause to remein ber for some days to come. When the parade passed tho Albany Academy on its way back to the oircus grounds, Prof. S. R. deJarnette, the prinoipal, allowed the scholars to stand at the windows of the sohool rooms to view it. Seeing the bright faces at the windows, tho bicycle clown decided that he would attraot at tention to himself a little out of the or dinary. Accordingly, he turned his machine into the yard, tode straight up the front steps and into the main hall way, to the astonishment and bewilder ment of the pupils and teachers. Clowns on the streets and clowns in school houses are entirely different propositions. At least, that is the view Prof. deJaruette takes of the matter The grotesque individual on the steed of steel suddenly felt a hard list crash against the side of his painted face, and he tumbled precipitately to the floor. Be fore he had time to realize what had happened, he felt himself lifted toward the door by several vigorous kicks—and tho professor wears shoes with pointed toes, too. The kicking process continued till the clown “hit the grit” in the front yard, his wheel on top of him and his hide thirsting for arnica bandages and turpentine liniment. The principal of the Academy in the role of a scrapper is now to the pupils, but it is safe to say that they have a great deal more respect for the head of the institution than they ever did be fore. As for the Herald, we say “Bully for the sorappiu', kickin' professor 1“ The Araerious Times-Recorder warns its readers against spurious coin which it saya is being circulated in the town. It says: “Lookout for counterfeit money when you receive change. A dangerous counterfeit quarter is being rushed in Americus, and dealers have already accepted the coins to their sor row. They are well made and at first glance would be readily accepted as the genuine dough, but the ring is absent— likewise the silver. Don’t get caught by these counterfeit coins.'* Consumption Is a disease of civilization. When ths Indian was a stranger to the white man he had no name in his vocabulary for thi9 dreaded malady. Without arguing as to the curability of consumption, it may be stated posi tively that Doctor Pierce’s Golden Med ical Discovery cures weak lungs, hemor rhages, bronchitis, deep-seated and stubborn cough, and other diseases which if neglected or un- skitlfully treated find a fatal termination in consumption. There is no alcohol in the w Discovery,” and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other nar cotics. Persons suffering from chronic dis ease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is conducted under the seal of sacred secrecy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. In a little over thirty years, Dr. Pierce, assisted by his medical staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured thousands of men and women who had been given up a9 incurable by local physicians. M Your medicine is the Tiest I have ever taken.” writes Mrs. Jennie Ditigman, of Rapid City, Kalkaska Co., Mich. "Last soring I had a bad cough , got so bad I had to be iu bed all the time. My husband thought 1 had con sumption. He wanted me to get a doctor, but thought we would try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med ical Discovery, and before I had taken one bottle the cough stopped and I have since had no sign of its returning." Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. A FIRST GLASS CIRCUS. Th.t Was the Verdict ot Thole Who Saw the Wallace Shows Yesterday. From Wednesday’s Herald. The verdict ot every man, woman and ohtld who witnessed either' of the per formances of the Wallace oirous yester day wns the Bame: that it was the best show ever seen under canvas in this oity. The Wallace people have departed from the beaten path tor so many years trod by oirouses, and present many fea tures that are genuinely new. The peo' pie who appear in the ring are all artistB in their respective lines, and it is evl dent that the management of the great show believes in having the best class of popular entertainment at any prioe. There is a great difference of opinion as to what feature of the show is best, but all agree that, as a whole, the entertain ment provided is far superior to any other ever seen in this part of the coun try. The menagerie is complete, and the animals all appear to be in excellent condition. Everything advertised was presented at both the afternoon and evening performances. The crowd was rather small in the afternoon, bat last night the audience exceeded by about u thousand the number for whom there were seat accommodations.

Rciurts Prom -All Over This Section lodlcotl That the Attendance Durlof Albany'! Oslo Week Will Be Much Greeter Thin That of Last November. Reports from all over southern and southwest Georgia indicate that the at tendance on Albany’s Hay Day Fair and Elks' Carnival next month will be very generous. From far and near the peo ple are coming. They are making in terested inquiry eonoorning the attrac tions to be offered, and promise that "every man and his oonsin” will come np for a day or longer. The Buccesa ot the fair and carnival of last year is proving a great advertise ment for the one to he hold next month. That of last November was, in many re spects, the moat successful that had been pulled off In Georgia, and those who enme to enjoy it were delighted. The good reports they carried with them back to their homos have borne good fruit, and now that we are getting ready for another great show, they are willing and even anxions to oome again to have a good time. The management of this year’s oarnl- val and fair is taking pains to assure the publio that the attractions of 1901 will be Oven better than those which gave snoh splendid satisfootlon in 1900, and that all who oome to share with ns the delights of onr gala week will have no groand on which to lodge complaint. Parties from this oity who have been ont on the roads leading in every direc tion bring book reports that interest In the Albany fair and carnival Is steadily increasing. In a few days, forces of bill. posters and distributors of printed matter advertising the fair will take the roads, and the whole country hereabouts will he billed as for a cirons. That the orowds daring the week beginning NO' vember lb will be the largest ever seen In Albany is hardly to be donbted. ttv When using baking powder it is always econ omy to buy the Royal. ► Royal makes the finest, most wholesome and de licious food.

During his description of the battle of Jaly 8, when on the run with the Visoaya, he gave (he details of the death of Ellis, of the Brooklyn, and the bravery of Commodore Sohley, who stood in the midst of the dangers on all hands, oool and collected. For the first time daring the conrt’s session, Admiral Dewey was foroed to rap for order on acoonnt of applanse, which, after his first reprimand, was again renewed at the striking instances of Sohley’s bravery. SCHLEY TAKES THE STAND. TIE! LIKE IT, TOO. DINING OP NEdRO [AT WHITE HOUSE AP PROVED BY AMERICAN|MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. FOUR IT A TIME, AND THE SAME M0THBR WAS BLESSED WITH TRIPLETS TWO YEARS AGO, The Hero of Santiago Making His Statement to the Court of Inquiry. Washington, Oct. 24.—After yester day’s witnesses had been called for cor recting their testimony in today’s ses sion of the Schley oonrt of inquiry, and after today's witnesses, including Lieu tenant Commander Harlow and Captain Clark, of the Oregon, Admiral Schley was called to the stand at 2:00 p. m. Every available seat in the large room in tho gunners’ work shop at the navy yard where the Schloy court of inquiry is sitting was occupied half an hour to day before the court was called to order at 11 o’clock. Tho announce nienfc of tho approaching close of the caso .and of th6 possibility that Admiral Schley would take the witness stand daring the day ha.I tho effect of increasing the public interest and of bringing to the court room a larger number of persons than could bo conveniently accommodated and a far larger number than could hear the pro ceedings.

Run away and play.” I lf reports are true, this year's ootton crop will aoon be gathered. Chicago, Oot. 22.—Prosident Roose velt’s action iu .entortaluiug Booker T. Washington, the noted colorcdjcducutor, at the White House, wns upheld and publicly approved by the IJAtrerioan Missionary association,(whichadjourned its fifty-fifth annual mooting today at the First Congregational churoh at Oak Park. The mattor has been a oommon topic of conversation among the dele gates to the convention ^throughout the day, the sooioty's prominence in the ed- ucation of the negro making the matter of nnnsaal Interest, fAdditional im portance was lent to the affair from the foot that Booker T. Washington ia a protege of the association. He reoeived his first assistance in scouring an educa tion from the association, and the im petus and encouragement thus given him in hiB yonth have often been ao knowledged by him as the basis of the eminenoe he now^njoya. The afternooi session had slipped away before the sentiment of the dele gates orystallzed into notion and the matter was taken np by the bnalneu committee. Before they had formulated suitable resolutions the aesslon had ad journed, and notion waa postponed until the evening meeting whloh, it had been planned, was to havefbeenjentirely taken np by a sermon and oommnnion servloe. The matter was deemed, however, of saifiolent importance for a ohange in the programme. When the meeting oonvened in the evening, Tboa. O. Mao- Millan, of Ohloago, one of the lay dele gate!, arose and on behalf of the busi ness committee, presented the following resolutions: "The Amerlean Missionary associa tion of Congregational ohnrohes, at its fifty-fifth annual meeting, held at Oak Park, IU., Tuesday, October 22, 1901, desires to enpreBS its oordial approval of the oot of President Rooeeve'.t In enter taining at the White Honse reoently Booker T. Washington, a justly honored representative of his people, thus ignor ing thelroco prejndioo and reaffirming the equal rights of American citizenship and emphasizing the principle of broth erhood revealed by our great exemplar and master, JesuB Christ." The resolution oausod Borao flutter among the congregation, who were not aware of the ohango in the programme, but it was adopted without a dissenting voice and with manifest approval. The same mattor received attention from Rev. S. Parke Camden, of Brook lyn, who delivered tho evening sermon. Referring to the incident, he said: “We cannot shut out from tho inclu sive meanings of the Blessed Evangel any single child of the race, aod we recognize In the conrage of our chief magistrate, who receives at the execu tive mansion of the nation a distin guished sou of onr African citizenship, ! who Is also an apostle of the principles I for which I am pleading. ' "Thero is scarcely a monstrous period I in tho social or lor of today which can- ! not be traced to the refusal of mao to link every one with the- efficient oauses of the kingdom of God and tho failure to look upon him as a brother in Christ and to estimate him by the law of Christian comity." The day moBquitoes are uow worse than the midnight prowlers of their tribe. And Albany bus mors than its share of them. Philadelphia Record Special. Ohioago, 111., Oot. 20.—The quadru plets born a fortnight ago to Mra. Ormby, a poor woman, whoso husband had lately deserted her, were ohristened today at St, Oeoilta’e Roman Oatbolio ohurcli.

Cecilia's parish. Two years ago. when the Orrnsby triplets were ohrist ened at the ohnroh, there was a mighty gathering, but today's oelebratlon far surpassed it. The crowd was Mg, and the onrloslty to see the four babies made it somewhat disorderly, hundreds trying to press forward to the front eeate. Mrs. Orrnsby took her plaoe with her four eete of godparent! carrying thl four little bablea standing in front of her. Along with the quadruplets five other babies were to be baptized at thl same time, and the row of* them filled the whole spaoe along the altar rail. Father Kelly laid: "If I had known what waa oomlng I would have had the baptism held on a week-day, My peo* pie never crashed and orowded tn the ohnroh this way before. They noted as if it were a show, and I won’t have anything like that again.” After Mrs. Orrnsby was book In her home many visitors were reoeived at the regulation rate of 25 cents a piece, and there was a jollification all day long, TO GOME TO ALBANY BANK Slste Dink Eisatlaer Tuner Rcslfus—HIS Exteoilve Acqualutsoce.
