never surpassed by Edmund Burke. Lis

deep organ peal, thrilled every tar ard

generations, when they remember the
deeds of heroism and devotion done on

“For Lyci-.’as is and ad dead er his prime,
Young Lycidas, and hath not left h a

Standing also for peace and good will—
as is the fashion of a brave soldier—is an
other Georgian, with whose acquaintance
I have been honored, and whose friend
ship I trust is mine. It was he, who, in
the last deadly grapple, fought his corps
"to a frazzle,” and saw with a breaking
heart the sun go down upon the cause he
ioved. Georgia has honored him, and he
has honored Georgia. Many, many times
the people of the North have listened with
a arm, responsive hearts to his eloquent
recital of the heroic story which he knew
so well. May I nol, as one who wore the
blue, here make public acknowledgment
of the respect and affection we all bear for
that good gray head? Gentlemen, I thought
of you and I thought of Georgia, when,
three weeks ago, I read the knightly lan
guage of Gen. Gordon, which warmed the
blood in every patriotic heart throughout
our country. Some day—which I hope Is
far distant— marble shaft will commem
orate his brave life, and what better in
scription could be graven upon it than
the impassioned words he uttered io the
comrades he had led on so many a desper
ate field? ”1 trust the time will never
come while I stand on Southern ground,
or among the chivalrous men of the South,
when I will refuse to send a kindly mess
age to an enemy.”
Iniler tlie Same Flag.
The last two years have been fusing all
our hearts in the crucible- of history.
Under a common impulse, rallying io the*
support of the nation In a war which ali
approved, we learned that North and
South love and follow the same Hag end
will follow It together 'O ibe uttermost.
Where now is their rivalry? TANARUS, gti er
they sailed into the bay, when Dewey un
furled tlie flag, and 1 ado his eloquent
guns proclaim the rising spn < f vi-tory.
Georgia wan there with tlie g lant Brum
by, so soon to return and in ng; ■ his
ashes with the soil of his native suae.
We shall not soon forget those anxious
days when we waited for news from San
tiago; when our lines were marching up
the sleep road to that ugly Croat, while
the fleet In sleepless vigil guarded ti e
harbor where lay the ships of Spain, un
conscious of their doom.
The record made by the army, and the
record made by the navy are alike in
spiring, and all shared in It. You recall.
<lo you not? how quick the nation was
to rucogn ze its own essential unity and
to rejoice that at last Northern soldiers
and Southern soldiers wearing the same
uniform, saluting ihe tame colors, wera
Jffertng their Ives to the same cause, it
has often been said that the Spanish war
removed the last lingering trace of en
mity between North and South. I thought
so. and often said so, but one day. s’ortly
af er Santiago fell I heard a wiser state
ment of the situation than had come to
mv ears before. I met In Chicago a gen
tleman from the South, a Tennesseean,
who had given four good years to me
I Stars and Bars, and whose erect soldier
ly bearing showed that he hud not for
got ten Shiloh and toe fields where he had
fought. In 'he course of our conversa
tion I said to him 'hat I thought the
Spanish war was worth everything it had
cost In blood and treasure, because It
had ended all 111 feeling between North
and South. His eye flashed as he re
sponded. “No, sir. h has not.” For a
moment I thought I had awakened the
wrath of an .or* -onstru -fed Confeder
ate. But he repeated: “No, sir; it has
not ended the ill feeling; it has shown
that it was already ended.” I bowed to
him as one who had easily outdone me
in courtesy. Ard vet wo bath meant rhe
same thing and both r joiced in the con
summation for which we had waited long.
What Georgia Did.
Naturally you arc proud of what Geor
gia did. Her list of soldiers outnumbered
• hat furnished by any other state in pio
portion to its population. And you gave
not only men for the rank and file, but
leaders to point the way to vie to y.
Though ho is a citizen of Alabama, you
claim Gen. YVhee’.qr as a native Georgian,
but no patriotic man of the North will
surrender Jtim to you. He is. as Judge
Speer said in his eloquent speech at the
Chicago Peace Jub!le, “a little.old x-
Confed.” hut we will not give him up,
for he is the common property of us pH.
When the summons comes that sh ill call
him from this life, he w.U be. as he Re
serves to be. a retired brigadier general
in the regular army of the United Sia < s
Gentlemen. I know you join me in ap
preciation of this high them \ It is my
most ardent wish that together we may
share in honors as we have in 6acrifio*s.
We have had our sorrows. But we should
find consolation in the thought that hu
man interests Ore governed by a law
whibh. if we do not understand, we may
at least dimly discern. The men
science, who have given their lives to the
study of nature, tell us that ell phenome
na will be intelligible when knowb'dg*
gets its range and discovers the true re
lation of things. It will someday comp*
to us that all our social and political Ha
lations are governed by a law—too wide
for our present comprehension, but none
the less wisely ordered for our permanent
well being.
The philosophic student, looking back
ward. s rs a calm and orderly proc ssion
of historic events, hut how often quick
and sudd n movenvuts unforeseen and
unexpected, rise like a b:ight aurora upon
i ur vi don? No one an io pat and what Pres
ident McKinley was about to ut er when
add easing the general assembly of Geor
gia, he lifted the veil ard hade his coun
trymen beho and each other once mere as
countrymen indeed. Can you ever forget
that supreme moment, when he said:
“The t me has n w oome in the evolution
of sent moot and feeling. In the provide* c?
of God, when in the plrit of fraternity
wo should ©bare with you in the care of
the graves of ths Confed rate soldiers.”

Mr, Christine MS llnlm Dead.
Augusta, Jiioe 19.—News has been re
ceived In Augusta of the death in New

living in New York for the past three
years. The funeral will dike place to

—Some interesting cxpednvnts lave
been carried on In the University of Ge
noa. with the view of observing the tem
perature of the animal body during fast
ing, and the rate of asstmllalton of car
bo-hydrates, saya the Scientific Ameri
can. The experiment demonstrated the
ability of etigar to raise the temperature
of Bn animal when It ha* fallen (luring
faetin*. When sugar was administered it
caused a rapid rise of temiierature during
the Drst ten or liftmen minute*, and In one
or two hours the temperature will reach
a maximum which will be cuuained for a
period of time depending upon the amount
of sugar. Thia effect Is said to be most
ma.hrd after a long fait, when the tem
perature is the lowest. Bread has a ome
whnt opposite effect, as the sugar is more
readily assimilated by a starving animals.
After bread Is given, the temperature will
rise, but more slowly than with sugar,
and the tire Is most rapid with animals
whore period of starvation Is short ar.d
whose temperature Is not 100 low . Prof
Masso says that with sugar ho has suc
ceeded In restoring the vitality of dogs
which were In a serious condition, while
the administration of albuman to oihara
failed to 6ave their llvea.
