Absence of Speakers and Members
Caused 1t to BE Declared of.
There was no University Club banquet
last night. For the first time since its or
ganization the members of the club failed
to assemble around the banquet board to
celebrate their anniversary.
The banquet was to have taken place
at the De Soto hotel last night, but the
war and other things seem to have seri-
ously interferred with it. and yesterday
about noon it was declared off. Prof. Mac
Pherson. of the chair of political economy
of the University, who was to have been
one Of the speakers was delayed, and could
not get here. Mayor p. w. Meldrim,
another of the speakers. was called away
yesterday to Washington. Many of the
club members are absent from the city on
business. and the promised attendance was
a very small one indeed.
The committee, therefore. decided to de-
clare abe dinner off, and the matter will
now be placed before the clubs executive
committee Under the clubs rules the
members are expected to dine together
every year on the occasion of their ami
versary. AS soon as the executive COM
mittee can get together II will probably
be decided whether the dinner will be
given at a later date or dispensed with
altogether,

TWO PRIZE COMMISSIONERS.
Judge Speer Appoints Messrs. Edgar
Denmark and Julian SchIey.


Judge Emory Speer q has appointed
Messrs. Edgar Denmark and Julian
schey of this city prize commissioners
for the southern district of Georgia, under
section 1921 of the Revised Statutes, pro-,
viding that such appointments shall he
made by the judge of the district court
The order making these appointments
was received here and filed in the clerks
office yesterday. Both of these gentle
men win be notified of their appointment
at once. They will have charge Of all tho
preliminary legal proceedings in connec-
ton with any prizes that may be brought
into the southern district during the hos
Titles between this country and Spain
The law provides that the judge of the
district courts may appoint three prize
commissioners, one of whom shall be an
attorney of at least three years standing
at the bar of the court, another a retired
naval officer, and one other. When prizes
are brought into any port OF the district
the prize master turns the papers in con-
nection with il over to the prize commits,
sionefs, and they take all the testimony
relating TO the matter, after which they
make their report TO the court IN accord
ance with the provisions of the Revised
Statutes relating to the matter of prizes.
The compensation OF the prize commits
sioners comes out of the proceeds from the
sale of the property seized. and is fixed
by the judge of the court. The retired
naval officer appointed must be approved
by the Secretary Of the Navy, and he does
not receive any compensation for his serv-
ices in connection with abe matter.
Judge Speer also passed another order
in this connection, providing that the rules
of the southern district of New York re
lating to prize causes from to SO, as pub.
lished in Benedct's admiralty. shall be
established as the rules in such cases foI
the southern district of Georgia. Rule 80,
however, win be modified so that all
moneys from prizes shall be brought d.
rectly into the registry of the court, and
rule AZ win be so modified that the court
will reserve the right TO appoint such per-
sons as he thinks proper TO assess damages
In The causes provided for in that rule
Whether any prizes win be brought into
any Of the ports of the southern district
of Georgia as a result of the war with
Spain, is a question, but the chances are
rather i'm favor of 1t, the Georgia coast
being her near the scene of the conflict
Should they be brought in, the matter
would be taken up at once by the prize
| commissioners. who would pursue the
course indicated as provided in the stat.
utes.

Other things cure fever besides John

such a cure is in striking contrast with

the skin, exciting and stimulating each

Johnson's Tonic. It's users are completely
cured. Increased animation, a bright eye,
a healthy color and sharpened appetite,
all attest the fact that there has been
a perfect restoration to health.
1t is not the man who is sick in bed
who needs Johnson's Tonic most. The
meanest kind of sickness is to just be
able to perform your duties, but lacking
energy and enthusiasm to do them prop
erly. Better be in bed at once. There are
hundreds and thousands of men and wo-
men who are performing in an indifferent

have become irksome to them, who would

Tonic with you. Don't allow yourself to
