THE CALL hOR TROOPS.
Gov. Atkinson Has Something
to Say About It.
Atlanta, May 27.—Under the late
call >1! President McKinley for 75,000
additional volunteers, Georgia’s quota
will he somewhat in excess of 1,300
men. That, however, does not mean
that tin- Mate may not be required to
furnish more than that number, as
other states may fail to accede to the
president’s demand and respond with
requisite forces.
The governor, was seen in his office
this afternoon by the Telegraph corre
spondent.
“That number is only guess work,”
said the governor. “We may have to
furnish more than the specified number
anni'um-ed by the papers.”
When a«ked if the same plan would
be pursued m securing these additional
men as was employed before, the gov
ernor said:
“No; 1 hardly think the same plan
will be followed. The case does not
appear so urgent as the previous call
and the mode ot proceedure may be
modified. I have received no notifica
tion from Washington whatever, and
therefore am not in position to know
what will be required of the state or
what measures 1 may employ. I ex
pect, however, in making up the men
called for under the new demand, to
intrench less upon the militia than
formerly—I will leave ample force at
home, because we need sale home mili
tia defense.
“Yes, I may go to Washington be
fore Georgia raises any more troops.
1 am anxious to have the debts recent
ly incurred by the state in equipping
the force already sent to the front set-
tied by the government betore we
raise more troops. I do not care to
saddle further expense upon the people
ot the state—expense the general gov-
, rnmen tshould bear.’

He has fought long and valiantly for

Let us liope that,unlike Moses, he may
come down from Nebo and for a time
enjoy *he promised land.
One hundred and twelve thousand
men have now been mustered into the
volunteer army of the United States
and the official report shows that the
greater number of these are ready to
move to the front. Over two-thirds of
the states have entirely completed their
musters and should the emergency arise
are prepared to begin anew the work
just completed.
Major W. D. Smith, formerly of
General Gomez’s staff, and now in the
service of the United States, returned
to Tampa Thursday afternoon from a
secret, visit to Havana. He was in the
city for five hours and in the province
of Havana forty-eight hours. He re-
poris that the Spaniards have provis

The Captain ot the Oregon.
When the Oregon arrived at Rio,
Capt. Clark found a batch ef instruc
tions from the strategy board awaiting
him. The acknowledgement of receipl
of them which he sent back to Wash
ington was short and to the point, and
illustrates what sort of a man Clark is.
“Don’t tangle me up with instructions,”
he wired, “I am not afraid of the whole
Spanish squadron,” The whoje country

tionings, and even the world itself,
bent upon its sensual greed, pauses for
a moment in'its giddy race, to declare
that God is surely in him, of a truth.
It does not alter the fact that there
are those,weary enough, indeed, who
turn away with an impatient skeptic
ism from this word in season. Truth
denied is only truth put away; it does
no: become falsehood, because it is not
accepted. There are some tilings even j
in your physicial science that you can ,
know only by experience. Will any \
ot you describe the sensation of an !
electric current? Can you convey to
my mind the accurate sensation of the
simple drawing of u tooth? Or as you
spread your table with dainties, can
you tell me liow these wholesome vi
ands will taste? Who can analyze the
sensation upon the palate of a tempting
dish? So the Psalmist, with
excellence,—the God-like power and
willingness to breathe the restful word
into the fainting ear ot him who is
weary.
ADDRESS TO THE Y. W. C. A.
Sunday night Rev. D. W. Brannen
'addressed The Young Woman’s Chris-
' tian Association in the large reception
I room at Atkinson Hall. To those who
! know Mr. Brannen as a man, a scholar.
! a thinker and a preacher it is needless
| to say that his lecture was highly in-
j teresting ami instructive. A large
I number of visitors were present ami
the program of the evening was beau-
! tifully executed.
EXHIBITION OF COLLEGE WORK.
From 8:30 until 12 o’clock the doors
of the Institution were opened to vis- j <th j-rv k. tft* O <
itors who thronged the halls in eager- '4g 1.1 Oj qp '
ness to inspect the varied exhibits of'
college work. Every class room from
the model school where the infant idea
is taught to shoot to the sanctum
where the mysterious secrets of science
bis 'worn : are 1**^ ^ are !,n, f ^ ,e profound prob
drous power ot song and story, could
do no more than anticipate the evangel
of Christ.—“oh, come and taste and see
that the Lord is good.” Without that
tasting,—thut personal experiencing of
Jesus Christ, it makes no difference
what a man says of him. He does not
know. He may pose as a knower, but
the clown in a king’s robes is a clown,
aping royalty. An apostle of learning
that does not trend towards the Christ,
lias but recently been betrayed into the
utterance, that “Christ was a supreme
ly good soul, but lie was an inferior
intellect,” Hiid that “his precepts were
never meant for tlie founding of a
civilization, but for the government of
the little body of his immediate fol
lows.” That is “the word in season”
which skeptical learning has “to him
that is weury,”—that, cotnposion and
forgiveness and symoathy and tender
ness, and helpful labor and contented
privation and world-wide peace-making
are the marks of an inferior intellect
and the possession of a few fisher-folk.
Is it so? Did he not prove that lie knew
what was in man, and could read their
thoughts, and divine their aspirations,
striking at the very center of their woe
and weariness, when he whispered to
them, “Come unto me and Rest.”
To him no mysterious secret of earth
or air or sea was withheld; he knew
the secrets of creation; lie knew tlie
h'gh and lofty places; he knew the
swing of stars in their unthinkable or
bits; be knew the foundations ot the
globe, glacier scarred and volcano-
i d en; lie knew the upward drift of
civilization unto nobler and better
tl.ings; and yet, tlie fruit ot bis broad
knowledge found utterance in a loving
wooing, as he btnt to save lost, guilty,
ruined souls from the grasp of an un
utterable weariness of soul.
And that is tlie glory of learning,—
that men may have Rest. Not rest
in ignorance, but rest is satisfaction; as
the student sits calmly back from the
finished solution of his problem, in the
enj yment of discovered truth. He that
is weary of suffering - , rests in the un
folding of Christ who is thus working
out for him “a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory.” He that is
weaiy ot-labor vests in the sweet con
viction that nis “labor is not in
vain in the Lord.” He that is weary
of waiting rests in tlie assurance
that the redemptive steps are always in
“the fullness of time.” He that is
weary of bufi'etting, rests in the
knowledge that “all things work togeth
er for good to them that love tlie Lord.”
He that is weary of the burden of con
science discovers the restful satisfac
tion that “the blood of Jesus Christ
taketh away sin.” He that is weary of
the unequal distributions of life, is con
tent since he knows that in Jesus Christ,
lie is even now “a child of God.” He
that is weary of the cruelties and oppres
sions and wrongs of life, rests in the
contemplation of Him who “endured
such contradiction ot sinners against
himself.” He that is weary of the sleep
less nights and deary days of wasting
pain, gazing with hollow eye upon a
world that knows not ot its sufferings
and has no healing balm for its fatal
hurt, rests in the knowledge that
though the pulse lades, and the stream
at the fountain runs weak and slug
gish, he is though his faith in Jesus
Christ endowed with an imperishable
and eternal life. The, whispering of
“the name that is above every name” is
the antidote for weariness.
Was it true that in the ancient days,
“all roads led to Rome?” Whether the
broad military avenues amid tlie fra
grant hills ot Italy, or the rocky paths
beside the wild Baltic coasts. Much
more, the grove-lined paths of Acade-
mus, the hidden paths among the bosky
cloisters, the trails through the broad
deserts of scarce-revealed science, find
their endings ultimately in the presence
of Him who is made unto us not
only “sanctification and righteousness”
but also “wisdom and redemption.”
Though every road led towards Rome,
it is equally true that thus every road
led away from Rome,—awuy into the
frozen barrenness or the sandy torried
wastes. Happy that one whose face is
pointed aright: it is he who knows that
Christ is the termination of all truth
seeking, and the following of his steps
lead up to the highest grade of human
lems of mathematics are solved, were
gaily decorated with every con
ceivable device illustrating the great
variety in the forms of instruction used
in this school. Great interest was
manifested in this display, and on all
sides the highest encomiums were
showered upon the efficient corps ot
teachers for the faithfulness witli
which they guarded and nourished the
development of the young minds whose
growth and training have been en
trusted to tlielr care.
PHYSICAL CULTURE EXHIBITION.
The classes in physical culture made
a semi-public display of their agility
yesterday morning at the College
Chapel. Like, a populist caucus, it
was behind closed doors, only a few
being favored with invitations. Sin-
gularly enough this performance has a
peculiar attraction to most people and
all who gained admittance are open in
the declaration that no branch of in- j
struction in the college is ot more im-j
porUnce than this and certainly none j
makes a better exhibit of its work. j
MUSICAL RECITAL. J
j The pianaforte recital by the classes
of Misses Zacliry and Treanor took
place at eleven o’clock yesterday. To
all lovers of fine music this feature
always one of the most attractive of
the whole series of delightful enter-
tainments. Tlie artistic execution of
the many difficult and beautiful class
ical selections evince the thorough in
struction and high training of pupils
in this department and reflects great
credit upon the ability and zeal of
their instructors.
A SPLENDID ENTESTAINMENT. .
The most charming event up-to date
wiistne entertainment by pupils at the
opera hause last night. Again the
Mandolin and Guitar Club came into
prominence witli superb music. The
Polka Ifeigen, by twenty-four young
ladies of the physical culture class, un
der Miss Amy Hill, was tlie most im
pressive exhibition ever given by this
department of tlie college. The figures
were unique and the costumes beautiful
and the grace and loveliness of the
young participants exquisite, eliciting
many complimentary comments. John
Kendrick Bang’s famous farce, “A
Proposal Under Difficulties,” as pre
sented by Misses Emmie McNair,
Lucille Burdick and Messrs. C. L.
Moore and M. S. Shivers, and a coach
man, who did not appear, was ex
tremely ludicrous. Tlie large audi
ence was kept in a continual rone of
laughter from beginning to end. The
parts of each of tlie players were fault
less and on the whole it was a per
formance never to be forgotten. It
is universally conceded to have been
the best amateur performance ever seen
in Milledgcville.

For near forty years this country has
been content to see its foreign com
merce transported in foreign ships,
while it lias kept upon its books laws
virtually prohibiting tlie building up of
a merchant marine under its own nag.
Now, when it needs ships—needs them
at once and badly—for the purpose of
transporting troops, it must do what it
lias prohibited its citizens from doing,
namely, go into the market and buy
these ships wherever it can gCt them to
advantage, and by especial favoritism
to itself, place them under the Ameri
can flag. Had the government given
its people free ships fifteen years ago,
there is every probability that the
American merchant marine would have
been large enough to meet every de
mand which might be made upon it,
and that without seriously depleting the
fleet of merchant carriers in foreign
Register at once. Last year’s re-
gistration does not qualify you for par-
ticipution in the June primary.

sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
