Academy-'Natural Gas"

Had the gas served last night at the
Academy of Music been laughing, in
stead of natural, the house could not
have been more pleasingly influenced.
Donnelly and Girard's old farce has al
ways proved a hilarious hit, and it was
perhaps never more SO than in the
hands of the former firms junior part
ner and his excellent organization. The
play was done with finish and smooth
ness, while the specialties interpolated
were most pleasing. Edward Garvie and
a good supporting cast portrayed the

Kernan,s-Isham,. octoroons.

There were bellies of every grade and
hue from the fast black of good dye TO
the coffee color familiar to auditors of
coon songs, to be seen in the enter
tainment given by Isham's Octoroons
Yesterday at Kernan's. The perform
ances presented eXcelled in many ways,
not their least pleasurabe feature being
in the humor of the vehicle in which the
organization appeared, "A Tenderioin
Coon" The piece proved to be an enjoy
able one while the company was both able
and we'll trained. During the action of
the burlesque specialties were introduced
by Winn and Edmunds, George Williams,

HOT SHOT AT THE UNIVERSITY.
BOARD OF VISITORS FILES IT'S RE-
PORT WITH GOVERNOR.

Work in the school of English Criti-
cised as EIementary-Fifty Per
Cent. More Time Given to Latin
and Greek Than to EngIish-De-
partments of Geology and AstrOn-
Omy Severely Crfticised-SOme De-
partments Highly Commended.
Atlanta, Ca, June 16.-Prof. L. M. Lam
drum, chairman of the board of visitors to
the state university, filed the report of
the board with the Governor to-day.
The report will be read with consider
able more than ordinary interest, in view
of the resignation of Chancellor Boggs
and the recent discussion of the faculty by
the trustees.
The faculty is commended for adopting
a measure for the gradual elevation of
the standard of work at the university,
and the board of trustees recommend that
the state establish high school in each
county with a normal department at the
university to train teachers for these
schools.
The School of English is criticised, and
the report states that the work there is
elementary. Fifty per cent. more time is
given to Latin and Greek than to Eng
fish, and the board of visitors think this
should be reversed.
The departments of geology and astron>
omy are severely criticised. The course
in geology takes only three months, with
twenty-five lectures, and that in astrono-
my only two months, with thirty lectures.
The report says that in a state of great
mineral wealth which must be developed.
geology, particularly economic geology.
should receive more attention, and thai
more work In these two departments is
necessary to make liberal education.
The work in the department of mathe
matte, engineering, physics and chemistry
is highly commended.
The report states that good work is
done in history, but the 294 students in
this department are too many for one
man, and an assistant, with the title of
tutor, should be employed.
A similar condition is reported in the
department of biology. where an assistant
instructor is recommended.
The literary societies are commended as
valuable adjuncts stimulating culture. The
chapter houses instituted by secret socie-
ties are disapproved as not conducive to
good morals.
Outdoor athletics are commended ana
systematic development of the body by
indoor exercise is advised, but the board
disapproves Of intercollegiate foot ball.
The practice of examining for examina-
tons late in the term is condemned.
The discipline is characterized as bad.
and as evidenced by 'unmis taxable evil
dences of mischief and disorder" and a
dining hall for the economical accomrno-
dation of students is recommended.
The department of agriculture is severe
ly criticised and the report states that this
department has not the proper support
from the departments teaching sciences
allied to agriculture.
The board says: "The anatomy of a frog
is thoroughly taught, but there is no pro-
vision for teaching students 10 identity
and destroy the deadly San Jose scale. .
In the report on the department Of BIZ
ology an assistant instructor is recon-
mended, especially for entomology and ag-
ricultural botany.

QUESTION ALONE FOR COUNCIL.
Much Interest in Its Action as to
Care of Park Extension

Members of the Park and Tree Commits
sion are interested In the action Council
win take regarding the care to be given
the park extension. II the commission
looks after 1t, the members say there will
have to be an appropriation for the pur-
pose.
As the matter stands nothing can be
done except by permission Of the military
companies, TO which the property was be-
queathed. When it was recently desired
10 erect a grand stand the commission
took no action until permission was first
obtained. If the city appropriates sum
to improve the walks and otherwise beau
tify the place, this right must also be
asked, though IL Is not likely to be refus-
ed. A fair amount could be spent to the
best advantage arranging the disordered
surroundings of the park Just now, and
II Is possible something Will be done in
this direction.
Action will be taken If the weeds grow
up as they did some time ago. making it
a question for the sanitary board to con-
slider. The health department will not al
low a high growth of weeds there, as this
produces unfavorable conditions.

SLAP AT JUDGE sPEER.
BOY Not Allowed to Deliver Extract
From One of His Speeches.

Macon, Ga, June 16.-The High School
gave an entertainment at the Academy of
Music tonight and among the young men
to deliver speeches was Sidney Hatcher,
who had chosen an extract from Judge
Emory Speer's speech to the, graduating
class at Mercer.
Hon. r. A. Nesbitt, a member of the
Board of Education of Bibb county, was
on the stage and seeing Judge Speers
name on the programme declined to allow
the boy to deliver the speech, saying
Judge Speer's utterances should not be re-
peated so long as he (NesbitD was on the
stage.
This strange procedure has stirred up
strong feeling among the friends of the
respective parties and At this hour, just
after the adjournment of the entertain
ment, several men have been discussing
the proprety Of not permitting its publ
cation by the newspapers.
Mr. Nesbitt's hostility to Judge Speer is
political. The former is a prominent Dem
ocrat and counts his friends by the thou
sands, and during recent years he has
fought the Republican party whenever OPP
portunity offered.

THREE NEW BATTLEsHTPs.
Their Construction to he Begun
without Delay.

WlthOut Delay.
New York, June 1.-THE construction of
three large battleships under provision Of
the last annual naval appropriation bill
says the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune, is to be undertaken without fur
Their delay by the navy department, in &C
cordance with plans and designs drawn
and agreed upon by a special board having
the subject under advisement
These additions to the navy are to be
similar in many respects to the Alabama,
Of which three are now building; but de-
partures have been made in some respects
from these vessels that are expected to
develop a stn more perfect type of war
vessel.
In one particular the vessels have been
subject to some justff1able criticism, but
so far as either armament and ordnance
CO. they viii probably be without a peer
in their displacement afioat.
The intention has been practically to
duplicate a type of battleship that is be-
leved to be without an equal except in
speed qualities. Ships of their dimensions
now building abroad will be required to
maintain a rate of at least eighteen knots
an hour under small load conditions
whereas the requirement of the navy for
the ships about to be contracted for cali
for vessels of but sixteen knots. Failure
to provide an increased speed has been
due to a desire on the part of the secre-
tary to facilitate their construction and
not undertake entirely original designs,
which would make necessary postpone
ment of their completion perhaps six
months

the opinion that the book agents have
not intended to deceive or mislead any
of the senator's of the United States
But since the Senate has ordered an in
vestigation of all the circumstances con-

detailed statement to the public till that
investigation shall have been concluded.
"a committee of five of its number has
been appointed to appear before, the SEN
ate committee for the purpose of present
ing the facts as far as the authorities of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South
