The indications for Georgia to-day are fair weather, warmer in northern portion, with light southerly winds; for Eastern Florida showers, with light southeaster ly winds. TYie Georgia delegation left for Kansas City without having fully decided wheth er it wanted 16 to 1 or something better. On July 13 the Republican Notification Committee will visit President McKinley Ht Canton to inform him that he has been selected as the Republican standard bear er for the current campaign. Fntil that time Maj, McKinley must remain in offi cial ignorance of what th* Philadelphia Convention did. In the Indian Territory a woman of the name of Cantrill, or Cantwell, has secured a divorce from her husband on the ground that he had killed twenty tseven men. and she, therefore, regarded him as a dangerous man to live with. It was probably not difficult to convince the jury of the risk sh* ran. It now' appears that Senator Foraker’s designation of Theodore Roosevelt as a •’locomotive in trousers” was not original. Somebody said that of Daniel Webster years and years ago. Foraker ought to have worked in the automobile in place of the locomotive, and then those bother some fellows who do not forget history would have been forestalled. The cigarette has proved to be deadly, rven when being smoked by another per son. In Norristown, Pa., the Chariets Fricka. a non-user of tobacco, at tended an op**n .jr oncert. Near him sat a man smokinJßT cigarette. The smoke floated in Fricl’s face nnd he inhaled it unlnfentionnjK A fit of coughing qu eued. It causedthe rupture of a blood vessel and the young man died. The great coal companies have given notice of their intention to advance the price of caal twenty-five cents per ton, to take effect July 2. If an advance can be made with the mercury bubbling in the top of the thermometer and the thoughts of mankind running to ice. juleps and w'hat will the price of coal go to when wintry winds whistle nnd snow flies? Tile Chicago Chronicle appears to be in excellent humor over the fact that Mayor Harrison of Chicago and ex-Gov. Altgeld have hurled the hatchet and are now smoking th* pipe of peace. It Is probable that the peace between tlnmeihat bus been patched up will not he a lasting one. To be friends with Altgeld one must do just what lie wants done. Mayor Ilanlson is a man with a mind of his own. The striking strove railway employes of Bt. Louis are going to start ’bus lines in opposition lo the street railway, and hope to get people fo patronize them In preference to the corporailon. A por tion of the public may consent to do this for s short time, but the time will he very short. Rapid transit and com fortable seats will appeal so strongly to ihe travelers that their stand for "prin ciple” will soon ooze away and vanish. SOITHKRN COLLEGES. In commenting on an article in the Chi ago Times-Herald. in which gifts to the different colleges of the country for th© last year were enumerated, the New York Sun says; “Unless the Southern mill ion a Ires are of a different breed from that of their Northern brothers they will tc>t le able to keep their right hands from making chet'ks payable to the order of col lege treasurers. Gifts of more than slot),- 000 to Tennessee colleges are inscribed on the Times-lieraKTs register. That admir able school, the University of the South, got SOB,OOO and ought to have twenty times as much. Its professors and its publica tions have made It respected among schol ars. Gifts of $75,C08 to Virginia colleges are recorded, but Thomas Jefferson’s ad mirable university is not among the ben efteiarles*. The North Uarollna colleges got $41,500. the South Carolina $46,000 and so on. Doubtless these figures would be considerably were the returns full er.” All of the Southern colleges are in need of money. The Sun says that unless Southern millionaires are different from the millionaires of the North they will not be able to restrain themselves from sign ing che. k* payable to the treasurers of Southern colleges. Asa matter of fact Southern millionaires are os yet few' and far between. We have no doubt that it there were as nuic'h wealth in the South as there is in the North Southern col leges would fare fully as well in the mat ter of gifts as those of the North. Before the war of secession more attention was paid to education in the South than in tile North. In fact, it is safe to say that the Southern people pay more for educa tion now in proiort ion to their wealth than do the Northern people. In discussing ed ucation in the South the Northern papers do not take into account the fact that the white pvopie of the South have to provide for the education of 8,(00,000 or 10.000.000 negroes, who #wn very little prop erly and consequently pay but a small amount of taxes. The Southern people are getting ahead a little now, however, and no doubt in the course of the next quarter of a cen tury the South will have a great many millionaires. When that time come.s the donations to Southern colleges will lie muc'h more liberal than they are ut pres ent. In the meantime, If the millionaires of the North are anxious only to promote education, and not to build up some jmrtlo ular educational institution, they might turn their attention to the South, li is certain that there are no more deserving institutions of karting than the strug gling colleges of the Southern states. The results accomplished by them with the small means at their command are remark able and are worthy of the highest com mendation. YAWNING FOR THE HEALTH. According to a German professor, yawning is geod for the health. Nature, which abhors a vacuum, did not invent Ihe yawn for nothing. Heretofore to the majority of persons it has been chiefly a form of expressien. conveying to the observer intelligence of weaciness. But Ihe eminent German doctor declares that the yawn has positive therapeutic value. If flexes ihe muscle*, does something or other with the blood in the brafto, and ex tends it| beneflts from Ihe aiomach to the summit of the cranium. Presumably It will not be very long be fore we shall have a full-fledged yawn cure, possibly for Indigestion, throat trou ble. "that tired feeling,” etc. If wading through grass that is wel with dew will cure a whole schedule of aliments, as the Knelppe curlsts say it will, there does not seem to be any reason why Ihe yawn cure should not prove equally effective. Indeed, It would seem to have more to commend it than a good many of the failh cures and absent treatments that have lately become so popular in some sec tions. There will be one good thing about Ihe yawn cure, when it Anally arrives—it will be cheap; Any person can go out of an evening and acquire yawns though to cure a cancer, provided it is number andf genuineness that docs the work. All that would be necessary would be to seek one's p i bore, and the yawns would be forth coming. The inventor of the yawn cure may, Indeed, fix up a schedule of yawn producers, each to be applied for a cer tain ailment, something like this: For sleeplessness, one hour at church where there is a shallow, dull preacher; for baldness, one hour in the front row at an amateur performance; for dizziness, one hour in the presence of the ten-cent clerk w’ho goes to the seashore and tries to put on foriy-dollar lugs-, for palpitation of the heart, a stroll with the summer girl of fifteen seasons, who Is not ashamed to confess that she is twenty-two; for nerv ousness, observe for an hour the nerve of the Republicans who claim* they are going to smash the trusts. Of course I here might be various changes and combinations lo suit differ ent ccmplalnts or to me-t extremely stub born cases. Asa last resort, there arc the Congressional Reccrd nnd the New Y’ork Herald’s political editorials. Should these fall, the case wculJ be hepdess. The great strike In Chicago, which vir tually came to an end a day or two ago. when the brieklayers and stonemasons w ithdrew from the Building Trades Coun cil, was one of the longest on an exten sive scale that has ever been known In 4hls country. It began last October, thus making the time of its duration eight months. During this time approximate ly 50,000 laborers were In Idleness, in volving a loss of wages of not less than $150,000 a day. That there was suffering by many of the idle men and their fam ilies for the necessaries of life there can be no doubt. And when the struggle Is all over, there is nothing to show for it but empty cupboards and the burden of debts. Our civilization will remain far from complete so long as a means for preventing ssch disastrous conflicts between capital nnd labor. Jt is astonishing what idiocy the com bination of polities and hot weather will eometlmes produce. Here Is the chorus of anew campaign song which is offer-xl In Illustration of the point: Hall the name of BUI McKinley, In trou ble always calm! Hail! Rough Rider. Teddy Roosevelt, the hero of Ban Juan! Up In Maine or down In Dixie forever and for oye, Honors due to Bill nnd Teddy from the blue and the gray. From the oliovo lt#vlll be seen that neither rhyme nor rea(wn Is necessary to the cam paign song writer. And often the "music" Is worse than (he "poem.* „ KMI’RIAS THE EVIL GFMIS. Kang Yu Wei. the Chinese reformer, upon whose head a price has been set by the Dowager Empress, has recently published a book on the situation in his country as he sees i. To Judge from the extracts of a translation which have reached this country, It is not strange that the Dow’ager Empress would like to have Kang’s head in a basket, for he talks straight to the point, uses good logic, and spares nobody in his criiiclsms of the government. A wide circulation of such appeals as Kang makes in his book would be well calculated to stir tip even so phlegmatic a people as the Ohi 'ese. Kang blames the Empress Dowager and her satellites, whom he calls singly and qolleetively robbers, villains and traitors, for all of the Ills which afflict the coun try, and plainly advocates the assassina tion of the entire outfit since there seems to be no other way of getting rid of them. He recalls that history abounds with instances in which ambitious and tyrannl al rulers have been assassinated, and public opinion approved of the act. The Dowager, he says, should be got rid of because she is strangling the em pire by abolishing reforms instituted or promised by the young Emperor, and re turning to ancient ways ill suited to pres ent-day conditions. Practices which were good enough several hundred years ago will not .suffice now. for the reason that the’ white races have become ag gressive and are seeking a foothold in lands for thousands of years peopled by yellow’ and brown races. By way of fore casting the fate of China, he calls ntn tion to India and Egypt and Poland, and to Russia’s treatment of the Jews. Should Europe get a foothold In China, he be lieves the Chinese nation would be de stroyed. He does not. however, advise the killing of foreigners in China. He doe-* not approve the methods of the Boxers. Kang's idea in that the Chinese must adopt Western methods, and in that manner fit themselves to maintain their position aad defend their country against any possi ble attack. That is what Japan has done, nnd that country Is now in a posi tion of independence and safety. China, on the other hand, has retrograded, and its government is no< able to defend it eelf at home or protect its citizens abroad. “But who are the government?” asks Kang. “China has no parliament. The power Is all vested in one person • * • one woman w’ho has profligately and disgracefully clung to the old ways.’’ He w’ants the autocracy abolished and a • •onstUutional government formed under the young Emperor. With such reform he believes it would be possible to “ren ovate the empire, word off the threatened slavery and save the race from extermi nation.” Without reforms, however, “our race will be destroyed. If our country should be conquered and its government controlled by foreigners, they wo-uld as suredly treat us as they have treated the Poles and the Hindus.’’ Kang Yu Wei’s plan of- assassination Is horrible, of course; but he is an Oriental, and takes an Orion ial view of the best and easiest manner of disposing of an ob jectionable person or company. At the same time, it cannot be questioned that he is animated by patriotic feelings. He loves his race and his country and de sires to see them preserved, and to the end of preserving them ho Is willing to dispense with the ancient customs of v*~ people and adopt those of the despised foreigners whom he fears. THE IIOBGKEX FIRE. The North German Lloyd fire in Ho boken was probably the most disastrous conflagration that has occurred in tli4e’ country since the great Chicago fire of 1871. Th loss of life in the Hoboken fire will approximate, or may even lead, the loss in Chicago, though the value of property destroyed was not nearly so grrat. The Chicago fire burned over about three and a half square miles, de stroying some 200 lives and $190,000,000 of property. It will no doubt be some days before the full list of casualties and looses of the Hoboken fire will be made up, but the outlook is that the number of deaths will not fall far short of 200, while the property loss will approximate $lO,- 000,000 to $12,000,000. The story of the holo caust shows it to have been a magnifi cent, terrible spectacle. Once the devour ing element had got the mastery it be came an insatiable monster. Human be ings were mere motes, to be licked up and annihilated almost upon the instant. The best apparatus that human ingenuity had devised for eombating flames were as Lillputian toys and absolutely power less against the roaring, seething, de stroying hell of flames they were turned upon. It is such grand, terrible Inci dents as that was that brings forcibly to the mind the pitiable smallness and help lessness of mankind in comparison with the great forces of nature. It is a source of congratulation that the Kaiser Wil helm der Grosse, one of the finest steam ships in the worl<X was saved. But three other splendid steamers were burned and will probably prove practically a total loss. Fortunately, the North German Lloyd is a very rich corporation, and will be able within a short while to replace its burned property. But the heavy loss of life will make the fire memorable in the annals of such disasters in the Unit ed States. Near Vineland. “N. J., there If a pros perous settlement of Italian farmers. When the census man visited it the other dev he was puzzled and amused to And thet many of the hard-working Italians never give any attention to the naming of their children. The young ones remain nameless until they grow big enough to select a name for themselves. The census man told some of the fathers that it was necessary to enter the names of the children on his blanks, ond the fathers requested him, since he had so many names in his books, lo kindly se lect some for them and bestow them upon the children. This was done and th Us'.s were made up. The Rev. Sam Jones, of Cartersvil'e, ap pears to be making himself at Kansas City. He is a PrSMbltlonlst, and hnce ha* no use for either McKin ley or Bryan. He Is In so small a minority that nobody Is paying much attention to what he Is saying. The burden of his talk seems to be that Senator Jones, chalr matvof the Democratic National Commit tee.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, 1 JULY 2. 1900. It is expec ed that President McKinley and Gov. Roosevelt will. In their letters of acceptance, supplement the platform on which they stand by asserting that their party wants it under* ood that it approves the planks which, it i allege J. the platform committee cut out of th-* platform which th? President and his advisor* prepared and sent to the con vention There has been a great deal more talk about the suppressed planks since the Republican National Uonven *tlon than there has been about the ticket Admiral Kempff makes it plain in his dispatches that the allied forces march ing to the relief of Peking were attacked not only by Boxers, but by the Chinese imperial troops. Still, it is impossible to determine whether a state of war ex ists. The troops may have been rebels against the authority of the government. The current week will, In all probability, determine whether the government Is act ing with the Boxers or whether it is merely too weak to suppress th**m. A rather unique celebration was held in New York the other day. At the battle of Brandy Station, in 186.’?, Gen. M. C. Butler lost his right leg. Upon the an niversary of the occasion, which occurred recently, Gen. Butler gave a dinner at Delmonico’s to a number of his friends. PERSONAL —Rev. Elias Riggs. D. D.. LL.

The New York Commercial (Dem.) says; “The English consul at Manila re ports to his government that the insur rection collapsed in November, and since the hemp ports were opened there has been great commercial activity. Law and order are being restored as rapidly as possible, bu 4 the Interior is not safe, and when stocks In port are shipped out there may be an interruption of trade. Im provements are visible in every direction in Manila. The work of draining the flbhy tow’n ditches and stagnant pools, which is in contemplation, ’may possi bly entail an epidemic, but the advantage to posterity Is Inestimable.’ Manila ‘may become a great commercial power in these waters before the first quarter of the cen tury is passed.’ The postoffice and tele graph are under American and British control, and are admirably managed. The telephone, electric lighting and water sup ply are controlled by Spaniards, and are also entitled to high praise.” The Riehwiond (Va.) Dispatch (Dem.) says: "There Is no question that there is a tremendous and constaly-growlng sen timent against imperialism—the un- American policy, and the revolutionary doctrine for which the Republican ticket nominated at Philadelphia last week stands. Nor Is there any question that there ore thousands upon thousands of men throughout the country whose party affiliation has heretofore been anti-Dem ooratic, hut who now, would be willing to subordinate all otbeg- considerations to that of saving our institutions from the wreck with which McKlnleylsm threatens them.” , The Columbia fS. C.) State (Dem.) says: "Even in his strongest speech against imperialism, Senator Hoar said he would continue to support the Republican party. He proved that It was behaving ously and then pledged it his fealty. The anti-lmperiallsis knew just where to And him—his mouth full of good words and a bad ticket In his hand." The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.) says: "Hill has more of the statesman in his make-up than Roosevelt has. He is a man of more discretion and self control than Roosevelt, and yields no whit to him in brains. There Is encour agement for conservative Democrats in the way in which the Hill movement Is "taking." \ *lierlM>k Holmes In I tnt>. It Is pleasing to note that Utah, where the fi -titious Sherlock Holmes displayed eome part of his wonderful detective abil ity, has produced in r*al life the prototype of Conan Doyle’s character, soys the Denver Post. A few days agon drug store iu Salt Lake was entered at night and robbed. In addition to topping the till the burglars e.ole a dozen bottles of hair restorer, several bottles of Florida water and a large bottle of violet perfume. The list of articles stolen was given to i member of the staff of detectives. Other information wae meager. No one was sus jiected. and, contrary to the usual cus tom in such case* made and provided, the defective announced that he had no clew. He did this hecauce he 4 a real Sherloel: Holmes. For he had what other lesser sleuths would call a clew. This wise young man reasoned that the burglar was bald headed, else why steal hair restorer; that he liked the odor of Florida water, and that he had n ©weetheart with a fondness for the perfume of violets. Having made this mental picture of the malefactor, he started out In search of him. At latest reports the burglar was still at large. The detective nosed his way oil over the city, but was unable to detect an odor of Flor ida water exuded by a bald-headed man accompanied by a girl perfumed with vio let. Hones are entertained of the detec tive's success, however, as an extrava ganza. with ballet, is to be played there shortly, and u is believed the guilty wretch will aurely be taken in an orchestra chair. Milesiai a MugUterlalily. Germantown has an Irish |x>lieeman whose exaggerated ideas of what consti tutes his duty often results in ridiculous scenes, says the Philadelphia Record. One day last v.eek he noticed a man who lives on Mnnheim street superintending the dig ging of a small hole at the curb in front of Ills gate. “Pfwut are yez doin’?” he de manded “Going to plant a hitching post. 1 ’ replied the owner of the property good naturedly. He knew the policeman and had often bandied jokes with him. “Have yez u permit?” asked th© minion of the law. “No. 1 just wnt ©head and did it.” “Och! sure. Oi can't allow that at all. at ail. It’s me juty fer to enforce de law. Ycz'll have to get a permit from de city hall.” The necessary document was pro cured next day and the hitching i>OFt was in place w’hen the blue-coated son of Erin came to inspect the permit. A little pile of dirt remained and the owner of the property instructed his gardener to shovel it up and take it back to thp garden. “Here! Here! Oi can’t allow thot!” ex claimed the i>olleeman. “Thot's de city's dirt. It's me juty for to protect de city’s property.” "All right, then. What shall be done with it?” asked the other. The blue-coat seemed puzzled for a minute, then he said carelessly, as though con ferring a great favor: “Sure, yez can Just dig o hole in de street an’ shovel it in, an’ Oi’ll say nothin’ about it.” nought IliM Master’s Freedom. A little Incident at the police station yesterday afternoon attracted comment from various sources on account of the r alistic romance it embodied, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. An old ne gro walked Into the office and asked in a mild and respectful manner if his “young marster.” M. C. Goin, was there. He was told that Goin had been fined $2 for being drunk and was on the rock pile. He applied to Mr. Dye. keeper of the rock pi e, and had a talk with Goin. The latter was very drunk when arrested, ond the recorder fined him $2. He hails from Corinth, Miss. “How much.” asked the old negro, "will you let Mm out for?” Mr. Dve replied that $1.73 would pur chase hla liberty. The old man pulled out a tobacco sack and unloosening the strings got out $2. The young man was released. Being asked why he was inter ested in the young man .the old man sa id: 4 I belonged to his father endurin’ the war. and no better man ever lived. When I hear ’em sav young marster was in de rock pile I jes' cum up heah ter sec him. I’d g.ve my last cent 'fob he shud stay in de prison.” The young man and the old ex-slave walked away together. No one ever learn ed the old man's name. Would Be of Yat Benefit. The teacher was hearing the grammar class, says the Indianapolis Sun. On the blackboard was written the following: “Caesar was one of the greatest gen erate. He was stabbed by Brutus, who was envious of his greatness.” "The paragraph on the board.” announc ed the teacher, “is imperfectly written. The class may write it correctly.” In a few moments a dirty hand went up ill the rear of the room, and at u signal from the teacher little Johnny arose and read: “Caeear was the warmest thing that ever happened. He was trown down by Bru tus, who was sore on him because he was a wise ’un.” “O. K.,” said the teacher, smilingly. Strange as it may seem, the idea would not be a bad one for, in the face of the rapid strides* we are making In the use of slang, it is liable at any time to be come the proper form of speech, and would not the blush of shame creep into our cheeks if. at some future day. our chil dren should accuse us of bringing them up in ignorance? AV!y Editors IJie Y oung, Quite one of ihe most notable editors of the day, says the Golden Penny (London), is E. T. Cook of the Daily News, who, many people w ill be . interested to learn, celebrated his 43d birthday on Saturday, May 12.—Mr. Cook, after a distinguished career at Oxford University, started writ ing for the old Pail Mall Gazette, though he was intended for the civil service. He became assistant editor In succession to Sir Alfred Milner (now in South Africa), and, in due course, the editor. There is a story told of Mr. Cook in those days which may or may not be true. He had written a leading article beginning with "To-mor row is the anniversary of the death of Louis Philippe," but which the genial compositor reproduced as, "To-morrow is the anniversary of the death of Sam Phil lips." On seeing the proof, the angered editor wrote in the margin: "Who the dickens is Sam Phillips?" Mr. Cook thought that it would put matters right, but next day he was pained to find this: "To-gaor row is the anniversary of the death of Sam Phillips. Who the dickens is Sam Phil lips?” An Issue of Veracity. The head of the household was late get ting home, says the Chicago Journal. He was very late. It was long past midnight. Indeed, the little clock on the hall man tel had just struck 3 oclock, when he came walking In. He had been out with the boys, and Ills wife reproached him. "Why it's early ye’ It’s not late." Just then the bedroom clock struck one, two, thiee. The wife looked at him with grim re buke 11c caught h*-r eye and jerked out this reply: "Well, now, if you want to believe that darne 1 and llar-and a-half clock be'ore your dear husband I have noihli g to say." Then the Duchess Kept Still. I-ord Beaconsfield, the great statesman, was very fond of the late Duchess of Teck, and admired her grasp of political problems; but he never allowed himself to be charmed into telling cabinet secrets, says Ixmilon Answers. One evening at dinner, during a crisis in foreign affairs. Princess Mary, who was puzzled at the Inaction of the government, turned to him and said: "What are you waiting for. my lord?" The prime minister paused for a moment to take up ihe menu, and, looking at tn Princess, gravely replied: "Mutton and potatoes, your royal high ’’ ' DOCTOR kU oe.-if ionic .ad blood pnrlfl.r I I creat*. solid G.sb mu.cl* snd H sir.cg'-b. cl.rs ih. brain loa’.m H tbs blood purs mil rlcb. arul cantos ■ k fftnsrkl reeling oi beiitb. rower n8 knd rnsnly rigor.
