GREAT DAY FOR UNIVERSITY. (Continued from Second Page.) reinforcement to Georgia which will be for good in all her history. NY or da of L. q. Lamar. From Georgia the clearest voices have come for a true reconciliation b tween North and South. It Is not for me. t Northern man. a Union soldier and vour guest, to put the unsearchable question, who was to blame? Whatever you may think, or 1 may think, let us remember that this is the year nineteen hundred Shall I not be happy with you, when I recall the words of a great son of Geor gia, then a member of Congress from Mis sissippi, Lucius Q. C. Lamar, scholar, soldier, statesman, jurist? It was in 1574, only nine years after Appomattox, ih t, speaking on the occasion of Charles Sum ner’s death, he pronounced that great ora tion which for elevated thought, lor elo quence and profound philosophy was never surpassed by Edmund Burke. Lis ten to his solemn words which, like a deep organ peal, thrilled every tar ard every heart that heard them: ’’Let us hope.” he saiu, “that future generations, when they remember the deeds of heroism and devotion done on both sides, will speak not of Northern prowess and Southern courage, hut of the heroism, fortitude end courage of Am li cans in a war of ideas: a war in which each section signalized its consecration 10 the principles, as each understood mem. of American liberty and of the constitu tion received from their father. * * my ' Sumner, in life, believed that all occasion for strife and distrust be tween the North and South had pass and away, and that there no longer remain A any cause for continued estrangement be tween these two sections of our common country. Ary there not many of us <vho believe the 6ame thing? Is i.ot that *he common sentiment—or if it is not. ought it not to be—of the great mess of our people. North and South? Bound to each other by a common constitution, death ed to lice together under a common government, forming unitedly buf a single member of the great farrffly of nations, shall wen t now at last endeavor to grow toward each other or.ee more in heart, as we are already indissolubly linked to ea h other in fortunes? Shall we not, over the honor ed remains of this grea% champion of Hu man sorrow, this earnest pie-ad r for he exercise of human tenderness and chaiity. lay aside the concealments which serve only to perpetuate misunderstand.rgs and distrust, and frankly confess that on both sidds wt most earnestly deaiie to be one; one not merely in community of language and literature and traditions and cdur try: but more, and better than all that, one also in feeling and in heart?” Best American Sentiment. Nothing In our annals is m re tou iitng. more manly, more brave or mire true than his c .o: Ing femer.ee: “My country min, kn w one another, and you w 11 love ne another.” Thai, gent! meg, is t.,e best American sentiment: the sentim in that to-day pervades al. hearts, and 1 as at las made us one. The Pur,tan and the Cavali r have—if I may use the phras't— found i ach o her out Instinctively you think of ano her gr at name, a name which onie belonged to Georgia, tut now is (he comm n tier face of he American peopl , limy XV. <! ady. who a a y u h diank from the fountain of 1 Iters and earning In this tr i ersitv. ills ginius, his patriotism and his early death have made him the ido o So th ard North alike. T e si w cons rvitlve culture of Boston had noi been so thr.li ed s nee th days of James Otis and femti 1 Adams, as when they heard that matchless voice which c-me -o them like the terid of anew e.a .Not since Brad ford and Br wster and W nsl w first i a ti the rock which gave them its icy welcom * to P ymouth had tria - h sto lc s[ ot fe t s ch an inspir rg inllutnce as when Henry Giady. even then entering the valley of the shadow, bade them l ve and trust the New South. Wherever he went ali who heard aid all who saw. recognized on who ilw it in an ampler e her, a * ivin e air. Whi e u.d resist that engagi g , orso al :y. that elf ed m'nd, tha' lofty s ul? What words so (lily - k our grief as :h-s- of Milton when his best-loved friend sank beneath the yvave? “For Lyci-.’as is and ad dead er his prime, Young Lycidas, and hath not left h a peer.” 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.

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.

Hahn, formerly of this city, whd has been living in New York for the past three years. The funeral will dike place to morrow afternoon from the First Christian Church. Mr. Hahn la survived by one grown son In Lclpsic, Germany, another In Dalton, Ga., a lad who was with her In New York, two daughters, and a large family connection In Augusta. —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. 7
