hours. arriving at his sons in good

Demand for the Practical,

Editor Morning Ne1s: / was one of
the large audience that attended the
closing exercises of the Georgia Military
Academy at the Theatre Friday night,
and, as a matter of course, heard the an
nual address delivered by Judge A. Pratt
Adams. When Judge A. announced his
subject-Truth-my first thought was that
he had made most happy selection, for
surely no higher theme could engage the
attention of the gifted speaker, and surely
no loftler object than the pursuit Of truth
can engage the labOrs of young men just
starting the battle of life. / believe it is
universally conceded that commencement
orators are rather inclined to the f1owerY
style of oratOry, but audiences on
such occasions are disposed to be in a
good humor, and the thought of analysis
or criticism is generally absent, hence the
wide latitude taken by speakers. | could
but think, after listening to Judge Adj
ans imprisoned eulogy of the legal pro-
fession, that it was singularly out OF
place in an address to the cadets OF a
military academy and to young men pro-
posing 10 choose professions; but then the
thought forced itself that the ora
tor, in the picture he drew
of the GOOD lawyer, had drawn from
an ideal world. Lawyers Of the Dodson
and Fogg order exist elsewhere than in
the fancy of Dickens. and it would be hard
work for even the gifted Judge Adams to
persuade an intelligent audience that all
the members of the legal profession make
the pursuit Of truth the leading idea OF
! their lives.
This is an exceedingly practical age,
and young men who are preparing for
| life work had better choose one of the
mechanical trades or dig from the kind
bosom of mother earth livelihood. viii
the time ever come when speakers vii
give their hearers more that is practical
and less that Is theoretical?

STRIPPED OF HIS OFFICE.

United States Deputy Marshal Mason
Under Arrest for BlackmailiBg-In
Jail at Augusta Awaiting His Trial.
b. f. Mason. the United States Deputy
Marshal, who was arrested at Waycross
some weeks ago on warrant charging
him with carrying concealed weapons,
was required a few days ago by
United States Marshal Locke to surrender
his commission and to turn over
such public papers as he had in his hands.
A few days afterwards it was understood
that he had been levying blackmail at
Augusta and other points and was
using the money thus obtained for his
own benefit. An officer was set to
work and evidence of the truthful
ness Of the reports was obtained. Mason
was arrested and lodged in the jail at Au-
gusta on Friday. Yesterday United
States District Attorney Darnell left for
Augusta to represent the government at
the preliminary examination, to be held
before the United States Commissioner in
that city tomorrow. Mason is married
and is the father of two children. The
punishment for his effense is imprison-
ment in the Albany penitentiary from one
to ten wears, as the court NAV direct
