ATHENS, GA, July S.-The commence
ment sermon of the university OF Georgia
was preached this morning at IL o'clock by
DR.. w. H. Laprade, of Washington. The

The music for the occasion was furnished

Beardens orchestra
DR.. Laprade delivered also an able address
before the Young Mems Christian associa
tion of theunlversity tonight at s o'clock.
Interest in the election of chancellor is
at the maximum. The issue is White or
anti-White.
THE OTHER NAMES MENTIONED.
The opposition to DR.. Whito has been
centered on no man, although the names of
DR.. Charbonnier, DR.. Strickler and Dr.
Hopkins are sometimes mentioned. The
latter having accepted the presidency of
the archaeological school at Atlanta is
hardly an available man, and it is not
known whether the other gentlemen would
accept if elected.
A movement is now on foot to choose a

lows: For White, Mr. Hall of Athens,

SICKNESS DENIED.
A report is in circulation throughout a
part of the state that fever in q very
dangerous form is raging in Athens. Such
a report is utterly without foundation.
Leading physicians state that some little
sickness has been caused by persons indulg-
ing too freely in crystalhzed fruits and can
dies which were slightly moulded, but as far
as the health of the city is concerned it was
never better at this season of the year than
atp resent.

DAVITT'S BOLD DEFIANCE
HE DARES THE GOVERNMENT TO
TRY HIM AND PARNELL.

Attorney General Webster's Claim
That He Can Prove the Times
Charges Makes Further Action In
evitable-Davitt Advised O'Donnell
to Bring His Suit and Accepts the
Responsibility.
LONDON, July Sin his speech at the
Irish demonstration at Glasgow, yesterday,
Michael Davitt, referring to ODonnell's
libel suit against the Times, said it was
hinted that there was collusion between
O'Donnell and the Times. This charge, he
said, was entirely unjust and untrue. On
the contrary, O'Donnell had pursued the
course taken by him against his own judg-
ment and will, and on his Davitt'S advice,
along with that of some other nationalists
who believed that the case would receive an
impartial hearing before a British Judge.
They have been grievously disappointed.
TRYING MEN NOT ON TRIAL.
Surely Chief Justice Coleridge when he
discovered that there was no case on which
TO 90 to the jury ought to have prevented
Attorney General Webster from trying to
make out a charge against men who were
not in court, and who had no means
Of defending themselves. The excuse Of
the Times that the lives of their inform
ants would not be safe if they were brought
forward, was absurd and an insult to com
mon sense.
THE REAL DANGER.
The real danger was that the informants
themselves would be placed in the dock on
the charge of forgery. The attorney gen.
erals assertion that he could prove the
charges contained in the Times articles on
"Parnellism and Cr mes" made the taking
of further action inevitable But
bv whom was such action to
be taken! If the letters alleged
/ to have been written by Mri Parnell were
! genuine, if the attorney general as law
officer Of the crown really had proof suffi-
\ Gent to convict Mr.. r.sParnell, the speaker
and others, of conspiracy to murder, it was
his duty to place them in the dock.
[Cheers
BOLD CHALLENGE.
He challenged the attorney general to
adopt such course. If the latter did not
4 take up the challenge asgiven from public
& platform he (Mr. Davitt would put it in a
1 letter, giving the attorney general the
n alternative either of admitting there was
no proof with which to substantate the
d charges or of forcing the government to
Il place on trial Mr.. Parnell and himself.
q If the government did not put them in
q the dock, it would be because they knew
q that the allegations were but the weapons
q of cowardly assassination. This was the
" only way in which the charges could be
D sifted to the bottom and the truth be made
a known to the people of Great Britain and
Ireland. [Applause.l There could be no
u striking the issue.

FINE WEATHER FOR CROPS.
Good Reports Received From Every

Good Reports Received From Every
Section of the Country.
WASHINGTON, July 8-The weather crop
says:
For the week ended July Z the weather
conditions were generally favorable for all
growing crops throughout all the agri-
cultural regions east of the Rocky noun
tains.
A decided improvement is reported in the
wheat, corn and cotton regions in the cen
tral valleys.
The weather has been especially favorable
to cotton i'll North Carolina, South Caro-
lima and Alabama, although more rain is
needed in South Carolina
The high tempereturo during the past
week in the corn reg has greatly i'm
proved the condition ui lat crop.
Improvements are reported in the con-
ditions of the tobacco and corn crops of
Kentucky, due to the favorable weather of
the past ten days.
IN THE NORTHWEST.
Reports from Minnesota and Dakota
say: The weather conditions have been
very favorable. All crops are growing
finely and promise abundant harvest"
Local storms caused some damage to
wheat and interrupted harvesting in Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois. Harvesting of
wheat is now in progress as far north as
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the northern
portions of Ohio and Indiana, and a good
yield is reported in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.
Reports from Michigan show that the
weather has been favorable for all crops,
and the wheat harvest will commence next
week

CONGRESS IN THE DOG DAYS.
What Is Likely to be Done in the Two
Houses This Week.

houses his week.
WASHINGTON, July S-Senator Cullom
intends to call up tomorrow the bill to
amend the interstate commerce commission
law.
Mr.. Hoar is to speak on the fisheries
treaty on Tuesday. Mr.. Ingalls, is expected
10 speak on it within ten DAYS, and then, it
is believed, it will be laid aside until next
session. Meanwhile the mod1Ls pivendi is
working so well, according to reports made
by our consular officers in Canada to the
state department, that when the treaty
comes up for final action it may receive
fairer treatment than the republicans are
disposed to accord to it. Should it go over
until the next congress it may even be rati-
fled, say its more hopeful friends.
Senator Dolph will seek opportunity dur
ing the week to bring up the sea coast de-
Tense bill for discussion and action.
The army appropriation bill, which is
in an unfinished state, is likely to be the
only appropriation bill debated during the
week
Should the nomination of Judge Fuller
be reached considerable time is likely to be
spent in discussion. "
IN THE HOUSE.
The tariff and appropriation bills will
engage the attention of the house during
the week.
The committee on appropriations expects
to report the general deficiency and fortifi-
cations bills, the last of the appropriation
bills yet to come before the house early in
the week, and will demand prompt action
upon them.
Less than a dozen pages of that part of
the tariff bill which fixes duties remain to
be acted upon, but as they include the wool
and woolen schedules upon which much
debate is expected it is thought unlikely
that the bill will be disposed of this week.

III YEARS OLD.
Mrs. Margaret Arnold of New Hol'

From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
New HOLLAND, O., July 6.-Mrs. Marga-
ret Arnold, the centenarian, who lives with
her son, Henry Arnold, two and half miles
north of this place, is Ill years old to-day.
As considerable has been printed in the
newspapers in reference to the old lady and
her two aged sisters, and many false state
ments have been published, your reporter
concluded to call at the Arnold home
and learn some facts in reference
TO the lady, who is perhaps the oldest living
person in Ohio. Mrs. Arnold was found
seated in her large easy rocking chair, pla-
cidly smoking her old clay pipe. She has
there is nothing from which she can receive
any pleasure save from her pipe, and that
she enjoys to the fullest extent. She does
not attempt to talk, and can recognize but
one person, Mrs. jeff Brooks, her grand
daughter. On the Fourth of July, 1777,
Ill years ago, Mrs Margaret Arnold was
born in Augusta county, Virginia. About
three years ago she fell on the ice
and has not done any work since. The last
work she did was to knit a pair of
stockings for her grandson, which are being
preserved as mementoes. The maiden name
of Mrs. Arnold was Margaret Kiser, and
she had six brothers and two sisters, the
former all being dead, while the latter are
still living at eKtreme old age. One of her
sisters lives in Iowa and one in Dakota.
Toe one living in Dakota is 100 years of
age, and the other in Iowa 107, making the
combined age of the three old sisters 327
years, or an average OF 100 years for each.
There is doubtless not another family in
the country that can show such a record.

The Printing-Stone.

at is not surprising to the trade"
said one of firm in War; street,
dealing in photographers supplies, to
New York Mail and Ear "eSS reporter,
'when new report COZ around, as
it does from time to time, that pplies
of lithographic stones have been dis
covered in various places. There is
no doubt that such discoveries are
made. A quantity of it was found in
California while ago, and then n lit
tie later some was brought here from
Wyoming. 1t has been found in two
or more places in Russia, and now it
is claimed some one has discovered it
in Australia. All | can say is that the
only stones we get that are good come
from Pappenheim and Solnhof, in Ba-
yaria. None of the others, so far as l
know, have proved to be of quality
to compete with the Bavarian stone.
OF course it may be found somewhere
else, but don't know that it ever has
been. The American stone was found
to be gritty, containing, as it does, nu-
merous particles of iron.
photographic stone seems to be the
petrifaction of n particularly smooth,
clear clay. 1t is limestone, which ac-
counts for its remarkable absorbent
qualities. 1t is as hard as marble, or
harder, and in the locality from which
it comes the streets are paved with it,
and it is used for building purposes.
You see, it isn't worth as much there
rs it is after it has been brought here
and the duty paid on it. The story has
been often told of the accident by
which its use in printing was discov-
cred. You never heard itp Well, then,
I'll tell you, though it is veritable
chestnut, as is natural, it being an So
year-old fact.
"An old cobblcr in Solnhof, whose
name | don't remember, used to keep
his accounts, which were of the SIM
plest, on the smooth surface of his
doorstep where he used to sit in good
weather. One day he was puzzled by
seeing that these inscriptions had been
multiplied, and on investigation he
found that every time he sat down in
new place he left a new impression of
names and figures. The seat of his
heather breeches had taken the impress
sion of the first inscription, and he
was by no means obliged TO carry his
accounts in his head.
The stone in jet is of two colors,
yellow and blue, and is of various
grades. The finest blue stone in the
largest pieces in jet is worth 15 cents
pound, and n slab viii sell for as much
as $500. You see the price per pound
varies like the price of diamond and
per carat. The blue is the best and is
used solely for engraving. 1t is near
| ly as hard rs a metal plate The vel
low is used for color work and for
| transferring.
