AUGUSTUS O. BACON. William Law OF
Savannah, one of Georgia's distinguished
men. When q mere lad, his parents died,
and he was left in the care of his grand
mother. He entered the University OF
Georgia at the age. of 16 and was gradual
ed in the collegiate course in 1869. He
had meantime turned his eyes toward the
law, and he vas graduated from the legal
department q year later a full f1edged dis
ciple of Blackstone. +
He had barely hung out his shingle in
Atlanta when the war began, and he en-
tered the Confederate army as adjutant of
the Ninth Georgia regiment. In 1864 he
married Miss Virginia Lamar of Macon,
and after the restoration of peace resumed
the practice of his profession in Macon,
where he has since resided. Major Bacon
was very successful as a lawyer from the
start, and he now ranks high among the
legal lights of Georgia.
The year 1868 marked his debut in pol
itics, and his first Office was that of presi-
Dental eleetor for what was then the
Fourth congressional district of Georgia.
He rwas but IS years of age, but his
speeches on the great questions that fol
lowed reconstruction marked him as one
of Georgia's coming men Of affairs. In
December, 1870. he began what was des-
tined to be a ten years service in the state
legislature, and the young member from
Bibb became such a power that he was
elected speaker of the house four times and
lacked but two votes Of welding the gayel
for the fifth time. For eight years he pre-
sided over the house as speaker and foi
two years as speaker pro tenn. His wide
knowledge of law and parliamentary rules
and bis splendid executive ability made
him one of the most capable speakers the
Georgia house ever had.
In 1883 he was a candidate for governor,
but after a three days deadlock in the
convention a committee appointed to sug
gest a candidate reported,in favor of Henry
D. Mcdaniel. Major Bacon lacked but a
single vote of receiving as many as Nc
Daniel. In 1885 General Gordon defeated
him for the gubernatorial nomination aft
er a most exciting campaign. He began
his active canvass for the United States
senatorship last July, and for over three
months he has been travelling and speak
ing continuously. His campaign was con
Quoted with rare generalship, and his or
ganization went into every county and ev-
cry senatorial and congressional district in
the. state. His term of service in the sen
ate will begin March 4, 1895.

EIGHT RUNNING BIRDS ON A HAT

That Boston is well gone in barbarism
appears from a hat box now on exhi-
bition in Temple Place, which is decor
ated, as we are told. by eight humming
birds. If we cannot go farther, cannot
we do what is said they do in Altruria?
The women of Altruria We're rather slow,
it is said, in adopting in advance the
fashions of the twentieth century. It
was therefore enacted that no one should
wear a bird in her bonnet who had not
herself killed the bird. skinned 1t and
stuffed it. We have a good many bar
barians in Boston of both sexes, but
there are few young women who could
bring themselves to- killing eight hum
ming birds.-Boston Commonwealth.

street ferr boats and proceed up New
ark street init they came to River street.
where they separated. One of them went
to Donoyan's saloon, at Newar and
Hudson streets, one block away, and the
other walked slowly down River street
towards Ferry.
The !. detective followed the one that
went towards Ferry street about town
for over twenty minutes. when he ar
rested him. He then wen to Donovan's
saloon, where he ound the other man
drinking with a prominent citizen Oh
Hoboken. Walking up to them the oe-
teetive told the man that he was nnoer
arrest and would hav to GO to the sta
ton house. The man protested ana de-
MED that he was in any way connected
with policy and referred the detective
to the gentleman he was with, who told
Quinn that he was mistaken in the man.
The detective was positive, however,
that he wasn't mistaken, and said II he
was the man would be Immediately dis
charged. He would have to accompany
him, however, to the station house. The
man protested still more and swore that
it was an outrageous insult. So did the
citizen.
Nevertheless Detective Quinn took the
man to the station house, and the cltl-
zen's face fell p~erceptibly when upon ex,
aiming a hand bag which the man had
in his possession there was discovered a
number of policy slips and other policy
writer's paraphernalia.
The mar was booked as Frederick ".
Jaeger, twanty-nine years old, OF NO.
1863 West Fourteenth street, New
York. The other man Quinn ar
rested said he was Michael McGrann.
~forty-one years old, of No. 1877 Tenth
avenue New York. A number of policy
slips was also found upon him. He said
that Jaeger had given them to i'm.
Jaeger was admitted to bail in $l,OW,
Augustus Seide going his bond. McGrann
is held under $500 bail.
The men were arraigned before Re-
corder McDonough his afternoon and
represented by Senator Daily. Although
policy goods were found upon them
they were released on their own recog-
nizances to appear for trial in the Cen
eral Sessions.

Under EkeSfr1cI1O1H ~.
The conditions under which the Uni
versity of Edinburgh has now admitted
women to examination for degrees in
medicine have now been definitely stated.
The students are not admitted to share
the instruction given within the walls
of the university to men but under the
following conditions:-There are W
medical schools for women in Edinburgh
the Women's Medical College in Cham
bers street, which is under the control
of the Scottish Association for the Med
ical Education of Women, and is man
aged by an influential board of citizens
and by the lecturers; and the Edinburgh
School of Medicine for Women, in Sur
geons' Square, the head of which is DR..

Commission granted permission TO the
university to make arrangement Ior
women as students, both OF these ,scnoois
applied for recognition to enable their
students to present themselves 1or e1-
animation.
This the university has granted, rec
ognizing both as provid1ng a eompiete
thorities have decided to recognize both
schools, so long as the standard of teach
ing is satisfactorily maintained. But
they must apply for and receive recoge
milton every year. 1t was the action of
the Universities Commission which made
this arrangement possible, when
was at once taken advantage of by the
Glasgow University, and this winter
by the Edinburgh University Thus there
are now facilities for the complete ed
ucation of medical women in. the three
capitals, London, Edinburgh and Dub
lin, as we'll as in Glasgow.
Whether or not the supply of medical
education for women exceeds the de-
mand remains to be seen in the sur
vival of the ~fittest; but it is probable
that better results might be obained by
the concentration of the efforts tina by
their wider distribution.-.The Queen"

THE CHINESE PRISONERS.
/ Japanese Paper Says They Shed
Tears of Gratitude.

Tears Oh GroEltuUe.
The Chinese prisoners of war are now
snugly installed in the Red Cross So
ciety Hospital. They are content with
the treatment accorded. When they ar
rived there they never expected to re-
ceive such treatment, but thought they
were going to be executed. The medical
men had to explain the situation to them
and they in return shed tears of graft
tude, clasping their hands as though
worshipping before a diety. This atti-
Jude on their part so moved the doctors,
nurses and other officers of the hospital
that they were overcome by a strong
feeling of commiseration and shed tears
also.
We are happy to place on record the
grateful feylng of Chinese captives,
which strikes home to our heart that
they are after all Jul fellow creatures.
If Chinese see the benefits of our civil
ization, and make exertions in better
ing their condition in future, otr efforts
h al not be in vain.
War is a dreadful affair, but the bene-
fits arising from it more than compensate
the eyil.-The YorodZu Choho.
