A College of Social Science is to be
established in Boston, the object of
which will be to investigate and teach
sociology. Both conservative and
radical thought are invited to take
part in the work. It will carry on the
five-fold work of teaching, correspond
ence, extension lectures, research and
a publication office.
It may or may not be true, as a
great physician has said, that “disease
is dirt.” But it is clearly demon- ;
strated now that yellow fever and
cholera have dirt alone for their pro
genitor. The existence of such
diseases in epidemic form is always
and everywhere a disgrace to the
community that suffers from them.
The same thing is true of bubonic
plague and typhus aud every other
form of dirt disease. Modern science
has changed the reading of the
prophet’s injunction “Wash and be
clean” into “Wash and be healthy.”
The Philadelphia Record points out
that one cause of the vast consump
tion of iron in this country is tha
quantity that is required for wheels
for railroad cars. There are nearly
one aud a half million freight cars in
the United States, most of which have
eight wheels each, weighing on the
average 600 pounds apiece, and calcu
lation with these figures shows that
the total number of these wheels rep
resents 3,600,000 tons of iron. As
suming the average life of a car wheel
to be ten years, the Record estimates
that 1,200,000 new wheels are needed
each year, which means an annual
consumption of 360,000 tons of iron
for this purpo. e.
A eommou-sense scheme for re
populating the brooks in Vermont
with trout has behind it the authority
of the state, and is working well.
This is to close permanently the
breeding brooks, which can be done
with anj 7 brook by the state officials
upon agreement with the land owners.
Trout in these brooks do not attain
much size, but the large trout run in
to them io spawn. Protecting the
young fish in these brooks, so far as
tried, has resulted in restocking the
livers to which the brooks are tribu
tary with fish of a size for the table.
Some brooks flowing into White river
have been closed, and in the adjacent
parts of the river very good trout
fishing is the result. The news
papers of the state are urging that all
the breeding brooks in the state ba
closed, so that the attraction for sum
mer visitors of good trout-fishing may
be added to the other charms of Ver
m’ont. '
Naval Constructor Neudeck of the
German navy had opportunities for
seeing things while on a visit to this
country. Speaking of our ships he
♦ said: “As a result of my visits to all
your great shipyards, I can say that
the new ships now building for the
navy are among the finest in the
world, if they are not superior to all
others, as I am sometimes inclined to
think. The reason for the excellence
of these ships, and others that are
ready, I seek in the intelligence of
your workmen, and in the mechanical
genius of the whole nation. Work is
expensive here, butthe result is better
work, and a greater feeling of re
sponsibility on the part of the work
men, who draw high wages. A
secondary result of these conditions
is that the workman has both incentive
and opportunity to obtain a better
education.” Testimony of this sort,
coming from such a quarter, ought to
reassure even the most critical that we
are getting good value for our money.
DEWEY WILL COME SOOTH
Accepts Invitation to Visit Atlanta With Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
HERO HONORS THE GEORGIAN
Presentation of Brumby Sword
Will Be Hade By the
Admiral.
A Washington special says: Admi
ral Dewey has accepted the invitation
of the citizens of Atlanta, Ga., to par
ticipate in the ceremonies attending
the presentation of the sword to Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
The invitation was formally tender
ed to the hero of Manila Saturday by
a delegation of prominent citizens,
and a prompt and gracious acceptance
was immediately announced.
Accompanied by Representative Lon
Livingston, the delegation called upon
Admiral Dewey, at the McLean resi
dence. The interview had been pre
viously arranged through Lieutenant
Brumby, hence the Georgians received
an extremely cordial greeting from the
admiral. The reception took place in
the parlor, which was beautifully dec
orated with flowers, potted plants and
the national colors.
These little formalities having been
completed, Mayor Woodward who was
one of the committee, stepped to the
front and in the name of the citizens
of Atlanta, indeed in the name of all
the people in the state of Georgia, in
vited the admiral to visit Atlanta aad
witness the presentation of a sword to
Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood
ward went on to say how proud the
people of Georgia are to claim Lieu
tenant Brumby as their own, and he
informed the Admiral that a hand
some sword had been procured by
popular subscription to be presented
to Lieutenant Brumby.
The admiral at that point inter
rupted the mayor to say that he had
seen it stated that the people of Geor
gia intended to give Lieutenat Brum
by a sword, and be desired to say that
gallant young officer was worthy of
any honor or distinction his friends ot
his country might see fit to bestow
upon him.
This high testimonial to Lieutenant
Brumby was made with so much sin
cerity that it deeply impressed the mem
bers of the delegation, and their ad
miration of the admiral was increased
accordingly. The admiral took occa
sion to say that he not only appreciated
the valuable services rendered by
Lieutenant Brumby, but he also ap
preciated the noble and patriotic part
played by the representatives of the
southern states, hi the army and navy
during the war with Spain.
He said he knew how bravely the
southern men rushed to the support of
the nation’s honor and shared the glo
ries of victory with their northern
brethren and thus wiped out all traces
of sectionalism. The admiral’s atten
tion was called to the fact that Geor
gia sent more men into the United
States service to battle against Spain
than any other state in the union.
The admiral replied that the infor
mation was intensely gratifying to him
and it made him all the more anxious
to visit Georgia and personally show
his appreciation of the valor and
patriotism of the southern people.
Turning to Lieutenant Brumby, the
admiral said: “Brumby, we have but
two engagements ahead—one in Chi
cago and one in Philadelphia.”
Brumby replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the admiral delighted his
visitors by saying:
“Well, gentlemen, yon may count
on me being present to see Brumby
get his sword.”
He said he could not state definitely
when it would be convenient for him
to visit Atlanta, owing to an engage
ment he has with the president aud
the members of the Philippine com
mission, soon after the president re
turns from his western tour.
His acceptance, with that qualifica
tion, was entirely satisfactory to the
delegation, aud the details of the visit
were further discussed.
The admiral evinced such a warm
personal regard for Lieutenant Brum
by throughout the interview that a
change was made in the original pro-
CARGO OF MULES LOST.
Transport On the Way To Manila Encoun
ter* Typhoon.
A cablegram from General Otis to
the war department brings word of
the loss of several hundred horses and
mules on the transport Siam. The
message is as follows:
“Manila, October 6. —Steamer Siam,
which left San Francisco August 19th
with forty-five horses and 330 mules,
encountered a typhoon on the Ist in
stant, Northern Luzon, in which all
but sixteen mules were killed by the
pitching of the vessel and a lack of air
from necessary closing of hatches. No
casualties among passengers.
“Otis.”
gram, so as to place the admiral in the
picture and give him a conspicuous
part to play in the ceremonies attend
ing the presentation of the sword.
On the steps of the capitol at Wash
ington, it was deemed a high honor
for Admiral Dewey to receive the na
tion’s sword from the president of the
United States. At Atlanta it will be
an equal honor for Lieutenant Brumby
to receive Georgia’s sword from the
hands of the nation’s hero, Admiral
Dewey. The suggestion was promptly
acted upon, aud the programme will
be arranged on that basis.
Admiral Dewey stated that his de
sire to show his personal appreciation
and friendship for Lieutenant Brumby
was a sufficient inducement to him to
visit Atlanta on the oeeasion of the
sword presentation, but added to that,
his dosire to recognize in his humble
way the glorious part the men of the
south have played in the war with
Spain.
He then referred with deep feeling
to the recent deaths of Naval Cadet
Wood of Georgia, and Lieutenant
Commander Eldridge, of Alabama,two
brilliant young officers of the navy,
who lost their lives at Manila.
DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF
Will Be Discontinued In Compli
ance With Orders Received
From Washington.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The
acting commander of the department
of the gulf, Colonel John Simpson,
received Saturday from Washington
the official order of the war department
discontinuing the department of the
gulf and transferring the headquarters
to Governor’s Island.
From the nature of the order it is
regarded as evident by the officers of
the department that the mind of the
president has been made up, and that
the efforts of Atlanta business men
will bring no satisfactory result. The
order states that the change is made
by direction of the president, and is
signed by the secretary of war, the
commanding general ajs.the adjutant
general of the army.
Colonel Simpson stated that he wat
in no way acquainted with the purpose
of the war department in discontinuing
the department of the gulf, but sup
posed that Atlanta had been made th{
headquarters on the outbreak of tht
war on account of its central locatior.
and its thorough connection with the
southern seacoast towns. With the
war at an end there was nothing to
accomplish by the continuance of the
department.
JONES IS OPTIMISTIC.
Democratic Chairman Says Bryan Will E ~
Nominated and Elected.
United States Senator James C-.
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of tin
Democratic national committee, ans
wife, were passengers on the Cunarf
line steamship Lucania that reached
New York Sunday. They have bee!
traveling in England, Ireland, Scot
land, Switzerland and Wales for sev
eral months. Senator Jones said that
he had been much benefited by his
lengthy European travels, and felt
ready to go into the hard work neces
sary in getting ready for the presiden
tial campaign.
Senator Jonea, when asked to give
his views on tha political situation,
said that, owing to his long absence
abroad, he was not as fully informed
as to political conditions as he hoped
to be in a few weeks. When asked
his opinion as to the probability of the
1 Democratic nomination for the presi
dency going to William J. Bryan, he
said:
“There is no donbt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic nomination for
president,”and added: “Has anybody
any doubt on that question? Bryan is
sure to win.”

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed ar

Delay of Hostilities In Transvaal Bo<U
Much Good.
All the reliable intelligence frou.
South Africa reaching London Friday
points to a continuance 6f the existinf
situation for some time, as both sides
are apparently diffident about com
mencing an attack, although from the
dißpaches received it seems as if every
movement of a patrol and every cloud
of dust made by a herd of cattle were
turned into a general advance by both
armies.
The delay is all to the good, inas

COMMISSION DEFIED
Railroads Entering Atlanta Filed
No Depot Plans.
THE SITUATION GROWS INTERESTING
Other Roads Say They Cannot Act Until
the Western and Atlantic
Takes the Inidatlve.
The railroads entering Atlanta, Ga.,
have abandoned the idea, if they ever
seriously entertained it, of voluntarily
giving the Gate City a new passenger
station.
They have failed to file plans, and
now they are up against the commis
sion. The board will meet again in a
few kays and see what it can do with
them for disobeying its order.
At Thursday’s meeting the lessee of
the state’s road declared that it is ab
solutely impossible to get the roads,
the city and state to agree. Major
Thomas, representing the lessee, sug
guested that the state should patch up
the old shed, which four of the roads
claim to own.
If the state does not do that, he pro
posed that his company would stand
part of the expense of patching.
This would mean the continuance
of the dangerous street crossings at
grade, a menace to life which the city
has considered far more objectionable
thau the inadequate old shed.
All the roads say that Major Thom
as holds the key to the situation. He
says there is no hope of getting a new
union station.
In the face of this announcement,
the Southern railway takes an opti
mistic view of the situation. That
company says it does not think the
question of locating a union station
on the old site has been exhausted,
and asks for more time. Several times
in the past, the Southern representa
tives have expressed doubt about the
advisability of using the old site for a
new station because it is so narrow.
None of the other roads suggested
anything that would tend to solve the
problem.
Fine* May Be Imposed,
So now the commission is looking
into methods of procedure.
The roads hare not filed plans, and
the next question is to fine them. The
law fixes as the penalty a fine not ex
ceeding $5,000. The fine, if im
posed would go to the state. Six
roads enter Atlanta. If the max
imum fine were imposed and collected
it would amount to $30,000.
The commission can cite the roads
every thirty days, and in the course of
two years might collect enough in fines
to build a magnificent station.
At Thursday’s meeting the board
asked Judge Atkinson, the legal mem
ber, for his opinion on the way to pro
ceed against the roads. Judge Atkin
son assured his confreres he would
have his opinion ready when the board
meets again.
President Thomas has been advised
to confer with the railroad commission
and the legislature’s special commis
sion. One idea in getting the presi
dent of the lessee company and the
legislative committee together is to see
if any agreement can be reached on
which the legislature can act looking
to the state building a union passenger
station and renting to the roads.
GEORGIA PENSION FIGURES.
State Paid Out Sum of 8652,820 the
Past Year
The annual report of commissioner
of pensions for Georgia, Richard John
son, has just been issued from the
press. The report is one of the most
interesting that will be issued this year
from the capitol, as it shows some very
important changes have taken place in
the pension rolls during the present
administration.
To begin with, the report shows that
the pension accounts for the fiscal year
just ended has increased $13,060, the
total amount for the year reaching
$652,820.
There is also aa increase of 731 pen
sions this year as compared with last
year.
There is an increase of 731 new
claims paid this year as compared
with last year. These increases, taken
together with other items, are of inter
est to the tax payers and public gen
erally as well as of great interest to
the pensioners.
BURGLARS USED CHLOROFORM.
Drugged Woman While She Was Awake
and Bobbed the House.
A sensational burglary occurred at
Knoxville, Tenn., at an early hour
Wednesday morning. Two masked
burglars entered the residence of C.
A. Trainum and held his sister, Mrs.
Kimbrough, while they chloroformed
her. They then searched the room,
where Trainum, who is treasurer of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers, had several hundred dollars
concealed. They secured some of it,
but Mrs. Kimbrough had hidden the
larger part, which they did not dis
cover.
