HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO MEET.
The Ofer of Director Brnndt to lie
the Subject of Discussion.

The March meeting Of the Georgia His
torical Society will be held at Hodgson
Hall tonight. The standing committee
Of the society for the ensuing year Will
be announced by President Mercer and
the report Of the board of managers of
the Telfair Academy will be received.
The various standing committees were
not announced at the last annual meeting,
when the new president was elected, that
officer taking the matter Of their selec-
lion under further consideration at that
time. The invariable practice is that they
should he ANNOUNCED at the monthly
meeting following and it is altoget her
probable that the fun committees, with
their chairmen will be known after To-
night < session.
The board of managers OF the Telfair
Academy has had referred 10 il the mat
ter of the suggestions of Director Brandt,
of the Academy, in reference TO the Sc
cural of new pictures for its walls dur
ing the continuance of ehe Paris E&posi-
ton Director Brandt has offered TO
make the trip 10 the exposition and select
these pictures for the society, when it IS
expected that the works Of new artists
of great merit. may be secured cheap
In this manner many of the masterpieces
that now adOru the various rooms in the
academy building have been secured. the
director picking them up at eXPosicions
and other assemblages. that offered in
ducCments to the display Of pictures ana
opportunities for their sale by the artists
The director further offered to travel
through the countries of Europe, connect
ed by tradition or history with the large
pieces of sculpture that are paced in the
hall Of statuary. and to paint companion
picture for each piece of statuary. The
offer was contingent upon the payment o.
the expenses of the direct or by the society,
but the expenses were TO be loaned by the
director and repaid only at the societys
convenience
1t is this offer that the board of manag-
ers has been instructed to investigate and
report its action TO to-nights meeting Of
the society. Though it is not known, of
course what the action of the board OF
managers on the subject has been, a meet
ing of the board has been held and re-
port has been prepared. Whether this re-
port is to be favorable or unfavorable to
the offer and the general project, the
meeting tonight will disclose
at is known, though, that many members
of the society view the project of further
expenditure of the income Of the society
with alarm and are opposed to the pay
ment of anything more than the necessary
expenses of maintenance and repair until
the debts now owed by the academy have
been discharged in full. 1t may be that
the report of the board OF managers ex-
presses this view.
At any rate the report is subject to APP
proval or disapproval by the society and
this action will be taken at the meeting
tonight. As the matter is one in which
the members of the society generally
take an interest the meeting viii probably
be larger than is usual and the debates.
possibly, more animated.

The Golden Rule in Trade.

The golden rule of business is always
'sMind your own business. u Live up to
that, and you will do good to yourself and
those you deal with, both in buying and
selling.
Don't worry if an opponent spends bis
time in watching you in order to try to
checkmate your best moves. He can not
do it if you are wide awake, because at
best he is but an imitator, and an imitator
rarely equals the original and never excels
it. If he can not excel he may as well
give up.
Don't give him the satisfaction of allow
ing him to see that you resent such me-
thods by meeting his prices or cutting be-
low them, unless you are prepared to give
him such crack that will scare him into
silence or set him bowling like whipped
cur.
A merchant who spends his time in
watching his neighbors can not have much
business of his own to attend to, and
should be easily vanquished.

Pettigrew Charges Mckinley with
Double Dealing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The resolution Of
fered in the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Petit
grew, Republican, calling upon the President
for the report of Gen. John c. Bates concern
ing the treaty made with the Sultan of Sulu,
was considered today. The resolution cited
the salaries paid to the Sultan and his officials,
and inquired what fund they we're paid from
and what services the officials rendered.
Mr.. Pettigrew said that slavery in its worst
form existed in the Sulu group of islands, and
the treaty itself provided that every slave
could purchase his freedom at the regular
market price He said the amount of salaries
paid to the Sultan and his officials under the
treaty was 1920, yet the Spanish Government
paid to them only $4,000.
A translation of the treaty, he said, was
withheld from the people until after the Ohio
elections. This was erely q part of the pol
lev of concealment and censoring adopted by
the Administration.
Mr. Spooner Wis. asked Mr.. Pettigrew il
he meant to hold the President responsible for
the slavery clause in the Sulu treaty.
"I do" Mr.. Pettigrew replied.
''Then," said Mr.. Spooner, 81 read from
the message of the President to Congress.
The President says L have confirmed said
agreement, subject to the action of Con-
gress, and with the reservation which have
directed shall be communicated to the Sultan
Of Jolo, that this agreement is not to be
deemed in any way to authorize or give the
consent Of the United States TO the existence
of slavery in the Sulu archipelago
Mr.. Pettigrew replied that there was no as.
surance that the Presidents statement would
ever reach the Sultan. He declared it was
simply case of double dealing and nothing
else.
At the conclusion of the address of Mr..
Pettigrew, Mr.. Lodge Mass. said that while
the resolution was covered by one previously
adopted. there was no objection to its passage.
1t was then adopted.
declaring that the United States Government
would not recognize the right of any nation
to declare as contraband and seize food pro-
ducts as such, aud that any such seizure would
be an act unfriendly to the Uuited States.
The resolution went over under the rule.

why 1900 Isn't A Leap Year.

Why the year 1900, being the fourth
year after the last leap year, which was
1896, will not be leap year is frequently
asked. The following is as succinet an
explanation as we can give to make it in
telligible: Under the Julian Calendar,
according to which year has ordinarily
365 days and every fourth year is leap
year of 366 days The length of a year is
assumed to be 1851 days, when in fact it
is IL minutes and 10 seconds less. In
1882 this shortage had amounted to 10
complete days causing much confusion Of
dates, SO Pope Gregory ordained that 10
days be deducted from that year-the 9th
of October becoming the 18th, and in or
der that that difference should not occur
again it was further ordained that every
one hundredth. year not divisible BY 400
with no remainder 1890, 2100, 230O,
etc should not be leap year. In this
way the difference between the civil year
and the natural year, will not amount to a
day in 5000 years.

Starting A Blast Furnace.
From engineering Magazine.

Few persons who have not actually run
blast furnace realize what it means to
ell the capacious NAV of one of those mon
sters. A stack of 200 tons daily capa-
city, running on 80 per cent. ore, must
have delivered to it each day something
more than 40 tons Of ore, $50 to 300
tons of coke, and over 100 tons of lime
stone besides sand, coal and minor sup
plies-say 900 tons of raw materials.
Add the 200 tons of pig iron produce
shipped out, and we have daily freight
movement of l, 100 tons, taking no note
of the disposition of the Stag. The min
ing of the ore requires the labor of 100 to
300 men; the coal mining, coke making,
quarrying Of limestone anNtransportation,
at least 300 more. The furnace itself
employs $50 or more hands Starting up
furnace of ordinary capacity, therefore,
calls Immediately for the labor Of nearly
thousand men; for the use at least Of
nearly a Thousand railroad cars and many
locomotives; for perhaps several steamers
aud vessels on the lakes; for capital, from
the mines to the pig iron, Of one Or two
millions Of dollars, and last, but not least,
for high order Of managing ability.

High Price For straightness.
From Yeuthls Companion.

One of the difficult problems in praoti-
cal mechanics is to make straight edge. =
How difficult it is may be Judged from an
incident which occurred in the shops of j.
A. Brashear, the astronomical maker. A
customer askedz Mr. Brashear what would
be the price of ga perfect straight edge
of glass SO inches long.
at can't be made absolutely perfect, >
said Mr. Brashear. shut it could probably
be made with limit Of error amounting to
only fraction Of wave length Of light.
'sHow much would that cost p
ssAbout $40, 900 r
It turned out that the customer wanted
the straight edge for scraper and shat an
error of one sixty fourth of an inch would
have been insensible for his purpose
