"A CALL
To all Literary Clubs in Cobb County


ED. JOURNAL A few words, please in regard
to movement of great Importance to every intel
lgent citizen, and especially to all of our young
people.
ent clubs who have the cause at sheart it has been
decided to call a meeting of all the Literary Clubs
in Cobb county at the Court House in Marietta
on the first Saturday in September at 10 O'Clock
a. M, for the purpose of organizing county
convention of Literary clubs.
We think it would he GOOD idea not to have
merely delegates froaashe different clubs but that
each club go in full as nearly as possible. This
will make the attendance larger and the day more
enjoyable, We can all take our dinners and all
have big picnic time (after Organization at
Glover's grove or at Kennesaw mountain or any,
where in Marietta that we may decide upon that
day. We are highly gratiied to learn that so
many have been thinking about the good that
would result from organizing such convention.
Much interest has been manifested in this ele-
waiting work during the last two or three years
Clubs have sprung up in many communities in
our county, and all need TO get closer together
and know each other better. The full purposes of
the convention can be freely discussed when we
meet. Such coming and holding together would
a stimulating rivalry, pervaded through and
through with love that would be real blessing to
all. 1t will be the first movement of the kind ever
attempted by any county in the State; and why
should not Cobb lead in this she has in all other
things? Let every literary club in the county be
represented by as many members as possible. We
will meet together as brothers and sisters and
day morning, Sept End. Let us meet with happy
hearts and come away with hearts happier still.
Yours hopefully,

Two New York physicians think,
and contend, that they have dis
covered an antidote for cancer. The
discovery was accidental. A cancer
patient in a hospital was accident
ally infected with the germs OF cry
sipelas. The doctors noticed that
as the latter disease progressed the
cancerous condition improved. Ex-
periments were made on other can
Ger patients, with such satisfactory
results that the doctors believe they
have at last found cure for enc of
the most insidious diseases that

FINANCE AND TRADE.


duced by Monetary Stringency.
NEW YORK, June e4--R. G. Dun g. Co. q
Weekly Review of Trade says: The i'm
provement expected from the issue Of
clearing house certificates, thus utilizing
credits instead Of cash in local dealings,
had not yet been realized Other cities,
especially at the west, have not taken sim.
iiar measures to'relieye the pressure, and
the demand for money from the interior
continues unabated. The failure of banks
nt San Francisco has led to a heavy de-
mand from that quarter, 81 ,50b, 600 having
been sent in single day. Distrust OF
weaker banks was avoided by the applica-
ton Of the Bank of Commerce for s ,OOO.-
700 certificates, and ss, $50, 900 were issued
Thursday, but the pressure for rediscounts
Ior Interior banks Is beyond the ability of
New York TO meet. Imports of million
gold gave quick increase Of confidence for
Time, but with actual issue Of certificates
foreign exchange rose a cent, chilling
hopes OF a further movement this way
The volume Of trade is considerably re
duced by monetary stringency. In some
departments Of business orders for mer-
chandise are deferred, since there is no as
sllrance of ability to carry the goods until
they are sold, while in other departments
orders are not received because the future
Is distrusted The effect on the great in
dustries has been less thus far than might
have been feared, rs most of the works are

prospect becomes clearer.

A LESSON TO THE NAvIEs.
Ponderous War Vessels inefficient for
Rapid Maneuvering.

Ponderous War Vessels inefficient for
Rapid Maneuvering.
QUEBEC, June 24-The loss of the war
ship Victoria, with its attending terrible
sacrifice Of life. is looked upon here as con-
trming the opinion of many navel officers
concerning the monster warships of the
present day. While the Victoria might
be unmatched as to efficiency in bonn bard
ing seaport town or in destroying sea
coast, local experts say she was decidedly
too unwieldy for serious maneuvering off
seaboard. Naval engineering, they point
out, has not progressed as rapidly as naval
architecture, and the stupendous mass of
the 10000 ton warship cannot be con
trolled with the ease that the navy officer
generally desires
1t had been thought twin screws werc
the desideratum SO longed for. They
proved themselves excellent indeed, but
the delay and waste Of energy in propell-
Ing the leviathans is still the same. There
Is no doubt In the minds of those here who
have knowledge of naval architecture that
the loss OF the Victoria was mainly due to
the defects referred to above
They say further that while scarcely
anything has been done to nullify the
deadly action Of the ram" the navies of
the world have given hardly thought to
hfeboat drill, a proof of which is seen in
the immense loss OF lite In connection with
the sinking of the Victoria. Taking IL
altogether the disaster is regarded here us
severe lesson TO the navies of the world.

Gus naval exhibition In the Transportation
building at the fair grounds is a model of
the i'll fated warship Victoria, whose wreck

venience Of visitors double stairway with

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
Entries for Tod ay's Great Race
at Chicago.
A SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLAR PRIZE


Creat Crowds vending Their Way to
Washington Park to Witness the Great
Event, and for the Time the Worlds
Fair is Forgotten.
| CHICAGO, June 24,-Thousands are wend-
\ ing their way to Washington Park this
! afternoon, and for the tins the World $
fair seems to be forgotten u the general
anxiety to witness the great American
| Derby, the most valuable turf event In
the history OF the country, which will be
run about o'clock this evening. No race
mas ever before attracted such great
crowd in this country. and It is confidently
predicted that when the flag falls for the
great event there will be 1900 people
present
All the contestants for the 500, 900 prize
received their final preparation yesterday,
and unless the owners change their minds
before the time of the race the starters will
be: Don Alonzo, st. Leonards, Chorister,
ltamapo, Clifford, Strathrose, Lookout,
Boundless, Plutos, Buck McCann, Tyro,
U. W. johnson and Oporto. In addition
to these, Miles Standish, st. Croix, lingo
mar and Aldebarn figure as possible
starters
1t is likely to be great betting race.
He soulhern contingent can see nothing
but Clifford, while Lookout, the Kentucky
Derby winner, has many warm admirers
from the Blue Grass state Buck Mccain
and Chorister are well liked, and it is very
difiicult to place money on any one of
these. They are expected to open at from
7 to to at the track. Don Alonzo is at
. to /, with st. Leonards an equal favorite,
the western "bookies" fearing him more
than the Dwyer crack.
Don Alonzo, on his final trial. made the
mile in 1.52 and the Derby distance in 255.
Coundless, the Gushing candidate, COW
cred the distance in 24s, but slowed up
after the mile, which he made in 1.5O.
Clifford did mile and quarter in 219.
Martin then took him the distance in
25115 Strathrose was given slow can
ter, covering the distance in 301lS very
easy. Lookout, who is said to be short OF
work, did his mile yesterday in 1.53sl. The
heene PAGER, Chorister, and ST. Leonards
were sent the distance close together in
253, but st. Leonards finished much the
fresher of the two.
These figures, however, are not of much
value in determining from, as there is no
record of the weight carried by any of the
horses Don Alonzo and st. Leonards are
said to have gone to the mile and a half in
2:36, with the last quarter in %. None of
the contestants have done such work as
this, it is believed, though performances
OF some of the less notable entries have not
been advertised.
