USES OF The PEABODY FUND
The Fund Over S3,5OO,OOO When 1t
First EeCame Available.

The Reputation of the Mississippi
Bonds Reduced 1t to $4,000, 900.
The Management Of the Fund By the
Trustees - The Institutions Which
Are It's Benefoiaries-An Effort in
Behalf Of Rock College at Athens.
Dr. j. L. Nj. Curry, who was here Satur-
day, as a representative of the Slater
fund TO make an inspection of the colored
college, is also agent for the Peabody
fund for normal school work.
This fund was originally something
like s. 100000, but there were included in
it some bonds of the state Of Mississippi,
and some other securities, which were
repuGiated. This reduced the fund APP
propriated to normal school work in the
south to something over 81, 600, 900.
The trustees have a similar charge
over this fund to that exercised by the
trustees in charge of the Slater fund.
DIR. Curry says the fund is used TO help
them who help themselves In other
words, if an institution under the super
vision Of the state makes application for
portion Of 1t. the state must be liberal
in its support Of the institution.
TO LOOK AT ROCK COLLEGE.
al ClAbA0 " III bG AlioAb " nave LII.
Curry 60 from Atlanta to Athens to take
a look at the Rock College, where the
state normal college is located. The trus-
tees of this college have been making
some effort to secure aid from the Pea
body fund, but as yet the state has made
very small appropriations to the school.
This is one thing which the administra-
tors Of these funds always requires be-
fore they are willing to extend any aid.
The Normal and industrial CIl1a.rp a
Milledgeviue is a beneficiary to a small
extent of this fund, and it has
given aid on several occasions to teachers
institutes in the different districts,of the
state. A large part of the fund goes to
support the Normal School at Nashville,
Tenn, to which are sent so many pupils
from each state in the south every year.
Georgia has twenty-five at the school.
Each of the pupils receives free trans
portation, tuition, and is giveu $40 for ex-
penses These students are selected af-
ter competitive examination by the state
school commissioner.
ANoTABLE COINCIDENCE.
1t was a coincidence worth of note that
March 3, the day of the visit of Drs.
Curry and Gilman TO the Industrial Col
lege here in the interest of the Slater
fund, was the goth anniversary of the
day on which the Georgia legislature APP
propriated $1,000 from the land scrip
fund to be used annually in the education
of the negro in the state. This amount
was given to the Spellman Institute in
Atlanta until few years ago, when an
investigation showed that co-education of
the sexes was going on there, and the APP
preparation was Withdrawn. Three years
afterward in 1890, it was given to the
Industrial College here. Thus there is
S24, 600 in the state treasury which has
tod
negro in the state, which has never
been used. An attempt will PROBABLY be
made to have that amount given to the
college here.

A LIVELY DAY AT THE TRACK.
Some Sharp Preliminary Brushes Be-
tween the Rival Flyers.


The programme Of races at the Thun-
derbolt Driving park for next Wednesday
and Thursday, is attracting much atten-
tion in horse circles. Yesterday was a
lively day at the track for horsemen. All
of the visiting horses were out and
showed splendid form. Fully 500 people
visited the track during the day and en-
joyed the fast brushes between the cracks
of the visiting stables.
The scenes about the track and around
the different stables reminded one of a
regular race day. The noted trotting
stallion, South Jersey Patchcn, arrived,
and was given his work yesterday by
Gypsy Haight. The old horse is a little
fat. but he showed his ability TO step
quarters in thirty-seven seconds. This is
remarkably fast Tor the Thunderbolt
track. Bessie Jordan, of the
mired. She is smooth-gaited
little animal and very fast. She ought
to make it lively for the entries in the
3-miuutes class
Tom Ker. worked Anna in two heats
with George w, and they put up a
splendid race of it. Both horses showed
fine form and could step any part of the
mile thirty clip.
The most interesting exhibition of the
the old campaigner, Jerome, and speedy
Billy Ackerson. Haight drove Jerome
and Tom Cannon sat behind Billy.
The first mile was worked in
2:36, and neither of the
horses appeared to extend themselves
The second mile was most exciting and
highly enjoyed by those who witnessed
it, Tom Cannon finished first with Billy
and succeeded in breaking the tracks rec
ord by going mile in 2:31l6. Jerome
was on his wheel the entire distance
and gave Billy lively chase of it until
his harness broke on the home stretch
and Haight was compelled to pull HIM up.
If this accident had not occurred, 2:30
would have certainly been beaten.
LIanaEer Doyle will call the 2:27
and 3-minute classes in Wednesday after
noon. In each contest there are four
candidates. and they are closely matched.
The public can expect some close and eX-
citing events

ROBBED THE HOSPITAL.
A Charity Patient Turns Thief and
Then Skips

Then Sk1ps.
Detective HUMPHREYS is looking for a
thief, who robbed the Savannah hospita-
a month ago, after having been treated
with the greatest kindness by the man
ayers.
The fellow, who is nothing more than
tramp, applied to one of the managers of
the institution for assistance, saying that
he was nearly starving and had been UNI
able to procure work.
The gentleman sent him out to DR.. Cold
ing, at the hospital, with instructions to
put him to work. The man was furnished
with clothes, of which he stood badly in
need, and was put 10 work as night
Waterman in the male ward. He re-
NAMED at the hospital for five days, and
then skipped out one night, taking with
him gold watch belonging to a patient,
and several small articles which he had
picked up around the hospital
He had been furnished with a new out
fit of underclothing only that night, and
left his old underwear behind 1t was
not in what would be called a sanitary
condition. The gentleman who lost the
watch had a considerable sum of money
which fortunately he had entrusted to
DR.. Colding for safe keeping, otherwise
he might have lost his money along with
his watch. DR.. Colding has offered a re-
ward of S25 for the capture of the thief.
