his decision, and to-day was fixed for
taking her to The hospital. As soon
as Mrs. Hause learned of her husband g
intention she became morose. and began to
brood over the matter. She frequently de-
elared that her husband had ceased to
care for her ana his determination to
take her TO the hospital was simply a
ruse to get rid Of her.
She bro0ded over this until she became
Respondent, and then going into the cell

mixed a quantity Of Paris green

Of the change in the dividing line be-

carefully investigating the matter
and listening to the arguments made
by some Of the parents Of scholars in

cluded to let the old and new lines re-
main as they were. The pupils resid-
ing in this disputed territory can have
the privilege Of going to either the
Fourth or Fifth Ward Schools. After
having entered one, however, they can
not change over to the other. The
adoption of this plan by the commit
tee resulted in the transfer of % chill

president of the Exposition Associa

vited him to the Exhibition in Novem

According to the officers of the En-,
gineers' Bureau we have more thar

We desire TO follow the example Of New
England and diversity our industries.
The people Of New England have Civ

tai, and we come to you, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to encourage us, and lend us the
aid Of your presence, and the people Of
Georgia will open their hearts and
homes to the President Of our great coun-
country"

pleasure the visit made by some of
your representatives. | think ! have
repeated on every suitable occasion
especially on my recent visit to the
Southland expressed my sincere hope
Of the development Of those marvellous
resources SO long hidden from sight,
but now about to be opened up had
occasion to say then that you would
realize the advantage of combining
manufactures with agriculture. The
old system made of Georgia planta-
ton state. would not have it less
so. But you may still develop other in
dustries without disturbing the surface
of the country. There is no compete.
ton or collision between these indus
tries; one does not sapercede the 9th
.er. The farmer still has his near
market for some products that will not
bear transportation. Out Of this di-
versity I think the highest develop
ment will come. l would be very happy
to see this development in Alabama
and Georgia as in any Northern state.
We all wish it. Whether | can be with
you or not, cannot now say. If Il
cannot be with you, you win know
that my heart is with you. If can, /
will come, but the time now being So
close to the meeting Of Congress, it is
doubtful.
Mr.. Walsh, in behalf Of the delega-
ton, thanked the President for his
good wishes, and the visitors were es-
cQrted through the Executive Mansion.

speech Of some length, said that the
field of individual effort Il about ex!
hausted. The time Il now ripe for tie
action Of the nation and State through
their Legislatures. The first essential
is the control Of the land itself. The
people can do nothing until they re-
ceive an unlimited grant of the arid
lands within this region, or grant
sufficient in quality to justify the
State in undertaking the work, or nm
der careful restriction intrusting it to
individuals or corporations. The Uni
ted States ought to make grants inthe
arid regions with view to developing
the school interests. There are IS, 900,
600 acres in this Territory, Of which
z, 200, 900 can be utilized
John p. Irish did not favor the
ceding Of any lands to the States and
Territories by the national Govern
ment, but suggested that the various
State Governments assume the rela-
ton Of trustor and trustee, adopting
plan similar to that made use of by
Illinois in the days of Stephen A. Doug
lass. The question. he said, was
one of population. Induce Congress
to pass laws that will bring people to
to the West, and the demands made
will dc such that every available piece
Of arid land will be occupied. He
believed that 160 or 800 acres in the
arid region were all that one man
could ask. He desired that each set
tier should get his land as cheaply as
possible, and the waterat the minimum
rate. Mr.. Irish contended that by ask
ing Congress to deed the lands to the
States and Territories in trust the
people Of the East would be satisfied.
There would be no grounds for believ-
ing anything crooked and no opening
for stump oratory in the East about
land steals.
