One of the moat lm|«>rtanl statementn he made waa when he declared that the Klllpino* are perfectly capable of aelf-governtnent and should be given the same rights und privileges allowed to the Cuban*. The npeakcr quoted that plank of the platform adopted by the laat Dem ocratic national convention In regard to the Philippine policy of the party, which pledged the Democrat* to give Independence to the Islands when they were In n position to take It. "And.” continued Mr. Blount. "If the Democratic i>arty again so declares In the national convention of l*<M, and carrle! the country In the presidential election of that year, those rock-ribbed and ancient shore* of Asia will behold an Independent republic lifting head from the depths of the China aea before this country la a decade older." He referred to the possibility of Bry an'* nomination and election, and ex- pleaned himself as heartily In favor of It. Judge Blount referred to the Bacon resolutions, and stated that had ttrv been passed by the senate when the Paris treaty was ratified In I*** the outbreak of 1*H would have been in vented. The gravest charge which was brought against the administration hy the sistaker was that the local constab ulary In trying to rid the Islands of Imndlttl are pursuing the same policy of reconeentratlon which made Wey- Icr's name a word of hatred and re proach In Cuba In UD7, and by this means thousands of Innocent people are subjected to the grossest outrages Hnd the loss of their property without due process of law.

THE FIRST AUTHENTIC PICTURE OF MARIE CORELLI, AUTHORESS %/IJIllll# First authentic portrait of Marie Corelli, which the English author furnished for her latest novel, but would not permit English newspapers to reproduce. Special Cable—Copyright. London, Aug. 14.—The h>ng drawn out light which Miss Marie Corelli hits been making to protect her personal modesty and at the same time not In terfere with the publicity of her fiction, has taken a new turn with the publica tion of her latest booft, '‘The Treasurer of Heaven," which h'n Just been given to the booksellers. At laat she has condescended, at the special request of the publishers, Ar chibald Constable rif Cp., to allow a. real photograph of hel-sdffuo go before the public, it appears a s' the frontispiece of the new book, which la her sixteenth. Even more surprising, as a bit of vanity, is the "author’s note," which roes with the frontispiece In tho Eng- lsh edition of "The Treasures of Heaven." She declares that a portrait of herself waa taken In the spring of year and she explains her reel ings ubout It. Mist Corelli on Physiognomies "I am somewhat reluctant," ahe writes, "to seo it so placed, because It has nothing whatever to do with the story, which is told in the following pages, beyond being a faithful likeness of the author, who is responslUJe toy this 'and many other previous books which huve had the good fortune to meet with a friendly reception from the rending public. Moreover, 1 am not quite able to convince myself i*.at ijiy pictured personality can liijve any in terest for my rcuders, as it h)8 al- wuys seemed to me that an author's real being Is more disclosed In his or her work than in any portrayed pre sentment of mere physiognomy. "But, owing to the fact that various gross, and 1 think I may say libellous. fictitious misrepresentations of 'me have been freely und umvarovntedly circulated throughout Great Britain, the colonies and America by ceruun ’lower’ sections of the nlct<-ial press, which, with a xeai worthy / a letter and kinder cause, have striven by this means to alienate my readers from me, it appears to tny publishers ad visable that an authentic likeness of myself, .is 1 truly am today, sluiuld now be Issued, In order to prevent any further misleading of the public by fraudulent inventions." Then Miss Corelli tells how she con cealed her Identity from the London photographers for whom she posed, by using the name of.a "lady friend" and having the various proofs %?nt to he* address. Snapped as an Ordinary Peraon. "That I thus elected to be photo graphed as an unknown rather than a known peraon." .Miss Corelli, explains further, "was In order that no extra pains .should be taken In my behalf, but that I should be treated just as an ordinary stranger would be treated, with no lees, but at the same time cer tainly no more care." "For the benefit of those who may feel any further ctirloslty on the sub ject,” Miss Corelli writes that no cor- tralts In any way resembling her have been published, anywhere, with the ex ception of a picture taken In her own house by an amateur photographer. This remarkable-"note" ends tnus: "My objection to this sort of 'pict ure popularity' has already been pub licly stated, and 1 here repeat and em phasize it. And 1 venture to ask my readers who have so generously en couraged me by their warm and con stant appreciation of my literary ef forts, to try and understand tha spirit In which the objection Is made. It is simply that to myself the personal 'Heir of me la nothing, and should be rlghtlv speaking, nothing to any one outside the circle ot my home and inv Intimate friends: while my work and the keen desire to Improve In that work, so that by my work alone I may become united in sympathy and love to my renders, whoever and wherever they may be, constitutes for me th* Everything of Life." Attack on Countess of Warwick. Permission to use the photograph was refused to English papers anil maguxIn.'H by the publishers, who said. •It Is Impossible; • It is out of th* question: the photograph Is priceless. It will be absolutely impossible for any newspaper to attempt to obtain tho photograph for reprouuctlon." "The Trea«ures of Heaven" Is tre ating something of a sensation. Those who have read it have discovered a thinly veiled attack on the Countess of Warwick. It also attacks the London Times declaring that this newspaper is financed by the Rothschilds and run by an American syndicate. MORGAN’S OLD MEN HOLD A REUNION Hy Private InMiSsd Wire.

CALVIN ADVOCATES BILL FOR AG RICULTURALSCHOOLS A few daye ago the house passed, by a large majority, the bill of Mr. Perry, of Hall, which contemplates the erection In each congressional district of a school of agriculture. A Georgian reporter asked Mr. Cal vin, ot Richmond, as to the scoi>e and the probable results of such a system of schools. Mr. Calvin, who had given the meaeure enthusiastic support, re plied. • "As staled by Colonel Perry In hla etrong and eloquent speech, Governor Terrail had early pressed upon the at tention of the general assembly the necessity for suen a cordon of schools, but It was so new and so broad a suggestion that neither the legislature nor the people were prepared for It. Colonel T“crry took hold of the Idea at the psychological moment. He had his own clean-cut conceptions of the subject, and spiritedly addressed him,elf to th* development of the same. At th# 8upreme Moment. 'I am a great believer In the Scrip tural ‘fulness of time.' The Conner agricultural college bill Was brought forward at the supreme moment. "The historj- of the bill In the house Interests one deeply. I do not recall a measure, except the Gordon statue bill, which had so little promise, eo little hope of success, on the day It was called up. A whisper went round the house that the bill had ngt the re motest chance of even a complimentary vote. Indeed, the committee on agri culture reported It favordbly more out of regard for Colonel Perry's Intense earnestness than for any other reason. It was gravely suggested that the blit might stand in the way of the 'greater' agricultural college to which the whole lieople are looking with so great ex- jiectancy. "The fact ie we have gone back to first principles—educating from the top down. However much the plan may be animadverted against. It Is capable of most satslfactory results, as shown by the past In this state. An Early Impetus. "In 1*21 the general assembly ap propriated half a million dollars for the establishment of an academy of high grade In each county In the state. The academies capped the sys tem of classical schools which flour ished'In the country sparse and Ip the city full. They were a connecting link between those schools and the colleges of the elate. They afforded boys and girls, rapidly approaching fhelr ma jority, opportunity to obtain a train ing which stood them In hand for self- culture, If It so chanced they had not the means to go to some college or university. "Tire thought In those daye was that as to the great body of the people the state would aid the children of thoso only who could not themselves edu cate them. The state provided In n meaeure for the.few through the agen cy of the academies. The classical schools, referred to, were, of course, private achools, but thousands of wor thy and ambitious boys and glrla whose parent* could not contribute a perhy to those schools, were permit ted t» drink at the fountain and later by their career, honored the courtesy extended them. Educated the Masses. "That system of education did this for Georgia. Through the few who were carefully trajned and fully equipped she educated the masses; that Is, thoroughly Informed them on all public question*—th* genius of a re publican form of government, the rights of the States in the territories, the rights which the states yielded to the general government and the great and Indestructible right of local self- government which the state* reserved to themselves. "That system of schools turned out young men, who, It they were ambi tious of becoming soldiers, were sel dom, If ever, rejected at West Point, except for physical disability. That fact alone telle of the thoroughness of the work done In those achools. "The Perry bill proposes an agri cultural school In each congressional district, and appropriate* the fees from the Inspection ot fertilizers, oil, etc., except such amounts now other wise appropriated. "The concession of the fertilizer fees was most striking evidence of the B rudual and masterful hold which the III took upon the house as the debate progressed. It 'la rarely that speeches control In the disposition of a hill in cases where the house manifests, at the outset, a persuasion unfavorable to the measure. Debate did shape and make the destiny of the Perry bill. , How the Law Will Operate. "The agricultural schools will be called Into existence one after another. The most active congressional district will take the lead. It may be a year or two years before another district will attempt the work. But, on* by one. Inspired by the success of others, each district will organise a school of agriculture. , "These schools will be the cap-stone of the common schools of the several districts. They will constitute an In spiration and an Invitation to the more ambitious boys and girls to come up higher. They will lead to the etate college of agriculture hundreds who would never cherish th* hope of reach ing that Institution. They will lend not a few to the other colleges of the state. They will equip thouianda fur the battle of life. > Will Rais* the Brows of Chlldrsn. I said of the Connor bill not long ago that It would raise the brow of every Georgia farmer an Inch. I say at the Perry bill that It will raise the brow of every Georgia boy and girl In the country 'wide an Inch—giving them new hope and blessing them with an Inspiration that will be uplifting and triumphant. _ . "I sincerely trust that the Perry bill will so favorably Impreaa the senate that that body will pae* It by a unan imous vote. , '•This done, with what the legisla ture has already done at this session In furtherance of agricultural education, Georgia will stand before her sister states of the South an exemplar of high rank—truly a great state.” AT THE ARAGON.
