PASSING OF THE HIGH HAT.

A floating paragraph states that the high
beaver" or silk hat is no longer consd-
cred de rigeur' by the swells of London;
that the Prince of Wales, both last year
and this, has worn a soft hat on several
occasions where heretofore only high
silk would have been considered the proper
thing.
The silk hat virtually disappeared from
the South in the sixties. except among
ministers of the gospel and few of the
higher politicians. The latter usually re-
served their "stovepipes" for Washington
functions, scarcely daring to risk their ro-
litical futures by appearing lin style
among the wool-hat boys of their constit-
uencles.
In New York during the recent great
gathering in honor of Admiral Dewey
there was to be seen only here and there
a silk hat. The felt hat, from Fedora and
Alpine styles to the broad-brimmed SOM
brero of the cowboy was largely in the
majority, reinforced by the "dicer' of eV-
cry conceivable shape. II has not been
many years since the soft hat was regard
ed pretty much in the nature of a trade
marx Dy WnEn southern man III INC
North could be distinguished from the ma
tives. AN of the latter wore stiff hats,
either derby or silk. The South favored
the soft hat because it was comfortable
and convenient; and it is a pleasure to
note that not only the Northern section of
our own country, but the leaders of style
in Europe are paying to the South the
tribute of adopting its favorite headgeaE
There never was any good reason for the
"stovepibe hat, and it was tolerated ONLY
because it was considerd a mark of distinc-
ton. The silk hat is and always was a
never-ending source of annoyance or anx-
iety to it's owner, whether on or off his
head. 1t is not an object of beauty or
grace. 1t serves no good purpose which
might not be better served by more ra-
tional substitute. 1t should, therefore, be
relegated to the shelf Of has-beens, along
with the fintlock musket, the tallow can

were good enough in their day, but which

TO WELCOME TIE ADMIRAL

Would Il not be a particularly graceiui
act if the Confederate veterans were TO get
together and arrange TO welcome Admiral
Dewey in a bOdy2 There was a time, Of
course, when Dewey was ION the o-her
side" but that time is long since past
and there is not one of the old Confeder-
ates who is not proud of the achievements
Of the hero of Manila and willing and anN-
ious 10 accord him fun need OF praise.
1t would, beyond doubt, be very gratifying
to the Admiral to be greeted by the old
heroes of the gray, whose sons, under
Dewey and elsewhere during the Spanish
war have become young heroes of the
blue.
And there are other veterans who ought
to take special pride in welcoming Dewey.
We refer to the veterans Of the Spanish
war. There are fully 1000 Of them in Sa-
vannah This city furnished more voiun-
teer troops for that war than any other
city in Georgia, and in proportion to popu-
lation more than any other city in the
United States. To have the Savannah vol
unteers organize temporarily for the pur-
pose of the Admirars reception would be a
means of impressing the distinguished VS.
itor as wen as some of our own people,
with the extent of Savannah patriotism,
If this suggestion can be carried out il
will form a most pleasing feature of the
occasion.
The Savannah military will, of course,
be invited to take prominent part in the
exercises, and viii, as usual uphold Sa-
vannahs proud record as the foremost
military community in all the state.

UNIVERSITY FRATERN1TIEs.

The university fraternity, often im-
properly called secret society" plays an
important part in the college career of the
majority of the students who attend insti-
tutions of higher education. Writing in
the current Independent, Prof. Goodwin
Smith, a graduate of Cornell, and himself
a fraternity man, combats the argument
and assertion, and justly so, that these
fraternities foster social clannishness and
exclusiveness, sometimes even TO an Of
fensive extreme. Doubtless this opinion is
confined to a few outsiders who really
know little or nothing of the objects of
these societies and what they accomplish.
It is true, as Prof Smith says, that the
primary object of a university is study,
but second in Importance, If not of equal
Importance with study, is the social devel-
opment of the man. II may be argued that
that could be accomplished, and is ac
complished in many cases. without the
fraternity; that the association of the stu
dents among themselves win answer every
purpose. But there is a stiR broader idea
in social development, and that is friend
ship. 1t is obviously impossible that friend
ships should be created between all the
members of a large student body, number
ing hundreds and perhaps sometimes thou
sands. 1t is in the fraternity hail, there
fore, that the student finds his true friends,
his close friends, those who are of assist
ance to him throughout his college career
and very often In after life.
There is another feature of the univer-
sity fraternity which emphasizes its value,
not alone 10 it's component members, but
as well 10 the institution itself. The in
creased pleasure given the college life
through its influence strengthens the bind
ing tie 10 the institution itself. The most
prosperous universities are those at which
fratenities exist. The strong advocates and
earnest workers in behalf of their alma
mater are almost invariably those who
have been prominent in the fraternity life
while there To them is due in the largest
measure the keeping up and propagating
of the university spirit Never is an oppor-
tunity lost to do or say something that
will add to the upbulding or prosperity of
the old college II has been so in Georgia
where the fraternity men are found in the
front ranks of public and private life and
where they are to-day, il may be said, the
very mainstay of Georgias higher insti-
tuition of learning. BY all means the fra
ternity and the fraternity spirit should be
developed, not discouraged.

THE FAITH OF A CHILD.

The faith of the child in superior beings
and superior powers Is one of the most
beautiful features of all human life. 1t Is
that faith which gives striking truth to
the epigram, 1.-THE child IL father TO the
man" 1t Is the chlld's faith which
strengthens and makes better the life of
the man who sees 1t In all its pure sim
plicity and knows that the child thus seeks
refuge from harm behind an abiding trust
which, to It, is as powerful as Gibraltar's
rock. TO destroy that faith or TO attempt
to remove any of those agencies by which,
with the aid of instinct, it is inculcated,
is to strike a blow at the foundation of
future morality; perhaps, too, of religion.
At a recent meeting of the New York
City Mothers Club, the Rev. DIR. Charles
r. Kingsley of Staten Island spoke on
The Rights of Children" Perhaps in the
main Rev. DIR. Kingsley's address contain
ed suggestions which if followed would
tend to elevate and strengthen the child
physically and morally But the Rev. DR..
Kingsley made the mistake of saying:
The prayer, Now l lay me down to sleep
shows what we think of religion. The main
petition of the child is that God should
take him il he dies. As If God wouldn't!
But there is nothing about how ne should
live"
From this 1t would appear that the Rev.
Dr. Kingsley would have destroyed one.
at least, If not the most important, Of the
fundamental elements of child life and
faith and Characteristic prayer first lisp
ed at the mothers knee,and the memory
of which has doubtless in after life been
one of the most influential factors in the
building of character and Strengthening
the man. We will venture to say that in
childhood the Rev. DR.. Kingsley lisped the
same prayer, and that to-day the memory
of it is sweet to him as one of his child
hoods earliest efforts and as source of
childhood comfort.
There are few who now dwell under a
Christian sun with whom the memory of
that prayer docs not linger; there are
none who have that memory who would
not put theory and discussion aside and
teach 1t to their children. 1t is like the
hand of a great sculptor; It touches the
plant clay of youth leaving that delicate
but firm impression which in the finished
work of art is tone and strength and
beauty.

AGUINALDO's PRICE.

In the course of his speech at Fargo. N.
D., on Friday President Mckinley said
The leader of the philippine insurgent
forces says TO the American government
You can have peace if you will give us
independence Peace for independence,
he says He had another price than that
for peace once before, but the United
States pay no gold for peace" The senti-
mont was loudly applauded. The audience
was heartily with the President when he
continued: we never gave bride for
peace in all our history, and we never
wsI"
1t is easy to imagine the contempt which
the President and all of those who heard
him felt for Aguinaldo, the man who had
previously sold himself and betrayed his
people to the Spanards for gold and was
willing 10 turn traitor again for American
money. No contempt is too deep no scorn
too intense for the traitor! A high minded
government cannot decker with him; will
not offer him gold for his peace"
Bur, IL the government-the admlnistra-
tion-did not offer Agunaldo gold, did 1t
offer him anything else in the way Of an
iuducement to give allegiance to the Unit
ed States? The Hon. Perry s. Heath,
first Assistant Postmaster General, has
been on the road making speeches, also.
He made one at Owosso, Mich, last We'd
nesday. During the course of 1t he said:
There has never been a moment since
Dewey steamed into Manila bay and an
initiated the Spanish fleet that Aguinaldo
and his followers could not have had
peace. protection and such share in the
government as they deserved. But this
did not satisfy them. President McKin-
ley's instructions were that Agulnaldo
should be given a commission In our
army, and that he and those associated
with him should he treated as our citi
zens. Yet this did not satisfy his cupid
ity."
What! The traitor, whose suggestion Of
brlbe of gold was spurned with righteous
Indignation, offered a commission in the
army of the United States! Offered. by
instruction from the President. an ep-
pointment as one of a body Of men whose
members regard honor as sacred and pa
trlotlsm as almost religion!
When was the offer of a commission in
the army made to Aguinaldo, Mr.. Heath?
Was II before or after the bride of gold
was refused him. And did the fellow
want both the gold and the commission,
declining to take the latter without the
former?
These and many other questions along
the same line might be answered by Mr..
Heath with interest to the public, and in
tense interest 10 the officers of the army.
with whom MT Heath says it was pro-
posed to make Aguinaido an equal and
associate.
But isn't possible that Mr.. Heath is
mistaken about a commission being Of
fered to the insurgent leader of monstrous
cupidity by order of the President? The
First Assistant Postmaster General ought
to be pretty good authority, and any state
ment which he makes must carry weight
with H. Stn we find 1t difficult to think
that The President, knowing Aguinaldos
record, would offer him a commission in
the army.
