The late Mr.. Freeman, the famous historian
was very voluminoub writer, says the Chicago
Tribune. He was the author of twenty six
books, many Of which, taken singly, we're bulky
enough IN themselves to be monument to a
historians life work. The professor was not a
particularly amiable man, and on one occasion
a church dignitary got even with him for q
former snub. IL became necessary for the dig

this wise: And now l have to propose the

"Tom" Watson has his eye on Senator
Colquitt's seat, chs Mr.. duBignon believes
Watson will be the third party candidate
for governor, in which case, should his party
be successful and control the legislature, he
would be sent to the Senate. The idea of
Georgia, a state that has produced states
men the peers of any who ever lived in any

Delegates to the State Conver

delegates TO the state convention.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
efforts OF Senator Hills friends to elect Hill
delegates to the state convention, no dele
gates have been instructed for him yet.
Quite large number Of delegates have been
elected, and the only ones instructed are
for Cleveland.
The clam is made that the majority of
those so far elected are for Hill. 1t is also
claimed that majority of them are for
Cleveland. 1t is an easy matter to claim a
majority for this or that candidate The
probabilities are that the majority
are for Cleveland. 1t is quite
certain thata great majority of the demo-
Gratis of the state prefer Cleveland to Hill,
and it is pretty safe, to say that the state
convention will be Cleveland convention.
Even Fulton county, the home of the Hill
organ, is certain to choose Cleveland dele
CATION.
1t is probable that some Hill delegates
have been chosen In counties where third
party men have taken part in democratic
primaries, because the third party is Bit
terly hostile to Cleveland, but the line be-
tween democrats and the third partyites is
now being drawn, and very few more Hill
delegates will be chosen. Georgia can be
put down for Cleveland

The suggestion in a local item In the
MORNING NEWS yesterday, that the several
vessels of the North Atlantic squadron now
at Key West be invited to visit this city
during Merchants week, is an excellent one.
The Philadelphia, Concord and Kearsarge
are the ships at Key West. the first a
splendid specimen of the vessels Of the new
navy and the last q relic OF the old navy
with history that possesses especial interest
for southern people. The Kearsarge still has
aboard OF her the gun which is alleged to
have fred the shot that ended the career
of the Alabama off Cherbourg, which is in
itself an attraction that would draw hun
dreds Of visitors to the city. But the city
alone would not benefit by such a visit-the
people would learn what the old navy was
from the Kearsarge and what the new navy
is intended to be from the Philadelphia.
If an invitation to the feet to rendezvous
here is extended, it is hoped the Secretary
Of the Navy will accept it.

An Interesting Meeting Held Last Night.
At the meeting of the Round Table,
last evening In the rooms Of the Board
of Education, the following educators
were present: Superintendent, Shields,
OF New Martinsville, Van Cleve Of
GAINESVILLE, Mertz OF Steubenville, Jones
of Bellaire, Mannix Of Martins Ferry,
Duncan Of Bridgeport, and Anderson Of
Wheeling, r. A. BlackfOrd, Principal
Of Martins Ferry High School, Princi-
pals Mitchell and Sampson OF Martins
Ferry, Smith Of Bridgeport and Mr.
Stearns Of the American Book Co.
The question, What are the Super
intendentS doing in teachers meet
ings?" brought out great deal of dis
cussion and led up to the subject OF
teaching the effect of alcoholics and
narcotics. There was a great differ
ence OF opinion on this question, but
the consensus Of opinion was that there
could not be too much teaching on this
subject.
"Why do the scholars in the inter-
mediate grades lose Interest in their
work?" brought forth almost an unani-
nous opinion that the books OF that
grade were not arranged in a way that
arouses the interest OF the pupil.
Other reasons advanced were the lack
Of interest Of parents, the outside In
duce ments in the way Of positions in
factories, sc. The meeting, a very
successful one, was brought to close
about 1890 o'clock.

he struck the town, but after putting
In the early portion of the night with
McAllister, he dropped a good deal OF
it in saloons and other places, and then
the two men lay down on the river
bank to sleep. Maxwell went to sleep
all right enough, but McAllister kept
one eye open, aud during the early
hours. 1t is alleged, he possessed him
self OF his companions cash and then
with having thus obtained about sixty
five dolars-all that was left OF the
hundred. McAllister was captured by
