the officers and men of the Oglethorpea

and these two militia organisations
went through the ordeal with (lying
colors, winning the generous applause
of many spectators.
Especially line were the various squad

Colonel Obear, the non-commissioned
■ ■ffleers showed the splendid effect of
the "non-com." school that Lieutenant
Jowltt haa conducted lately, every quea-
tlon bring answered correctly and with
notable promptness.
The officers and members of the

i he brilliant showing of last week,
b't.tuae of the poor exhibition which
:tiey made at the time of the regular
in>r>ertlon when the company waa
|.:a,*d on probation. For this great
. re lit Is due every man In the com
mand. but the fact cannot, be gainsaid
that the fins snowing Is due princi
pally to the hard work and Intelligent
efforts of First Lieutenant and Cap*
tain-elect Thad C. Jowltt. Jr., who haa
been In command of the company for
the past two months, a fact which la
,-a.Illy recognised by the men of the
company, and they are all accordingly
pi I of their commanding officer.
Captain-elect Jowltt saw service as a
private In the Spanlah-Amerlcan war,
and hla rite In the militia since has
been remarkable. He waa In the same

charities, while he lived. It Is said
that he never promlasd bequests to any
of hla relatives.
Air. Sage seemed to bo particularly
happy and contented In the last few
days of his life, und especially after he
reached his rountry home on Ocean
avenue, Lawrence.
Russell Bilge was unique. He resem

When Grant and Ward failed In 1514
It was estimated that Sage lost 15,000,-

yeara.
Mr. Sage waa married twice, first In
1841 to Miss Maya Wlnna, daughter

from which he was forced to move In

stores, to No. 612 Fifth avenue. Ills
summers were spent at hla country

demand waa refused Norcross dropped
a dynamite bomb upon the floor, the
explosion of which decapitated . Nor-
erdaa, killed one of the darks and
wrecked tho whole office.
Clark Recovered Dimages.
Air. Sage was only slightly Injured
by the explosion. The clerk who was
Injured claimed that he waa used aa a
shield by Air. Sage, and brought suit
to recover damages. Mr. Sage fought
the case, but the clerk Anally recovered
damages. The Identity of the dyna
miter was established by Isaac D.
White, a reporter for The New York
World, where the only clue was a
small bono coat button and a link of
watch chain.
He was a human machine for money
making. and cared nothing for art,

New York, July 2*.—Charity will
eventually receive llie«J|eneflt of the
fortune of frum *75,000,000 to *100,000,-
000 accumulated by Russel Sage.
This Is the opinion of Henry Clews,
the banker. Probably no man was In
closer touch with Mr. Sage and pos
sessed a more comprehensive Insight
Into the workings of thevsnernble mil
lionaire mind than Air. Ciews. The two
men were neighbors.
"You may quote me aa saying that
many persons will be extremely sur
prised when Air. Sage's, will Is read,”
said Air. Clews. "It nil surprise those
who believe {hat he devised most of hla
Imge fortune to hla family and kinsfolk.
Ultimately the bulk of Air. Sage's
money will be dispersed, I think. In
channels where It will do the most
good. This may not be until after'the
demise of Mra. Sage, who la a remark

EPWDRTH MOVEMENT
The Epworth League Movement In
Atlanta" was the subject for discussion
before tha Methodlat preachers of the
city at their weakly meeting In the
Wesley Memorial church Monday morn*
Ing. and a new Impetus was given the
work by those pastors who were pres*
ant.
Tha meeting waa led by Dr. C. E.
Dowman, of the First Methodltt church,
who told of the organisation and
Evth of tha society In this country,
also told ot methods which he 1m*

Those present enjoyed a rare treat
Indeed. Rare In two Instances—rare In
the fact that there was no "mud-sllne
Ing;" rare again that It was a, most
eloquent presentation of plain, althourh
very sad, truths. 1,0
The speaker's first words were;
“Each week In the warpath of might
will be a rock In the temple of right *
Bald he: 'This beautiful truth I found
engraved In letters of atone on tha
monument erected to the Immortals of
'61 to '65—ths monument erected to
the fallen harass by their sweethearts
and wives, their daughters, sitters and
mdthers—situated In the center of your
historic city."
His application of the quotation was-
"In the warjmth of the great book
trusts waged against the people of
Georgia, the wrecks along the route of
might had already been made Into
rocks for the temple of right;" that
the builders were now at work; that
tha temple would be completed ths
'Tht of the 2Jd d*j
Ic further said;
'Georgia has. no
cept in so far as the
vants, the problem
Into It.”
He tpoke feelingly and at'length of
the fact that so many ot the whits
children in Georgia were not enrolled
In the common schools, saying: “Ons
hundred and sixty thousand whits
children in Georgia are at work In
field and factories aiding their parents
to pay the balance due on homes, to
pay taxes, and yet to pay f'-r the edu
cation of negro children.
"The misguided philanthropists of ths
North gives to negro education tn Geor
gia of hla wealth. We of the South
can continue our support to tha negro
schools only by compelling our chil
dren to resign themselves to tho me
nial labor which the negro child has
deserted. For twenty-nlno years ths
white man's taxes lmve supported no*
gro schools, and today practically every
negro child In Georgia Is attending
school. All ov6r Georgia I have seen
the struggle of these white children to
rise from the prison of their mean es
tate. Let us be men, my brothers, and
answer the cry of this great army of
our own blood, Theso one hundred and
sixty thousand little ones, our own kith
and kin, must and shall have tha
chance at least to become that for which
God Almighty Intended them. We nave
given the negro child our bounty for
twenty-nlno years; shall we not glvt
our own whlto child at least a negro's
chancer'
Mr. Johnston said further: "The fair-
minded. honest negro Is not opposed to
tho division of the school fund aa sug*
R ested"—that the book trust and thslr
Irellngs alone could see the so-called
Injustice to the poor negro.
Although the weather waa exceeding
ly warm. Mr. Johnston spoke for taro
hours. We would be pleased to give
his speech In full, but well know your
valuabla space forbids. Mark Johnston
will surely win out In thla section.
