modern city should be, according to
the ideas of leading architects and en-
gineers In the construction of the
model three main points are to be en-
phasized, namely. architectural beauty,
sanitary perfection and practical use.
1t is the purpose of the projectors of
the five-acre city to make it an object

may be interested in municipal pro-
gression. Every detail of the public
and semi public utilities that so to
make up city life will be illustrated.

and paved with various materials in

other will be the street car system.
Still others will be the lighting, the tel
ephones, the sewerage, the disposition
of garbage, pneumatic tube communi-
cation. gas and water distribution, po-
Icing, etc. All electric wires will be
underground. as will also be the steam
and hot water pipes. These viii be car

There will also be departments of mu-

THE KENT CASE.

1t seems to us that the Senate might
we'll have taken a broader, more lib
eral view of the case of Mr.. w. B.
Kent. He had been nominated by the
Governor to be solicitor of the court of
Johnson county. The Senate declined
to confirm the nomination, on the
ground that Mr.. Kent was a Populist.
So far as the information in the public
prints goes. the only objection to him
was his politics. II does not appear
that his competency was questioned.
Indeed, Mr.. Kent was Endorsed by a
number of Johnson county Democrats
for the appointment to the position.
What Gov. Gambler says respecting
the matter is interesting. Johnson county
is not rich in lawyers. There were
only two in the county qualified to
fill the place and would have it," One
of these was Mr.. Kent. The other
man." says the Governor, was indict-
ed for gambling in his own court. and
was sentenced to the chaingang.
have a certified copy of the sentence
here now. l could do nothing but APP
point Kent, for l would rather name a
good Populist than gambling Demo-
craft"
The position of the Governor, it
seems to us, is unassailable. He wishes
to place in the offices the very best
men available, which the people GER
tainly desire to have done. All other
THINGS haiOp ha
much prefer to have a Democrat in the
office: but when there is such a diff
ference between the men as that point
ed out in the foregoing. then mani
testify the proper thing to be done is
to give preference to the man with the
clean record, notwithstanding his afil-
iation with another party. If the Pres
ident We're to apply strictly the prin-
ciple which, it seems, is called for by
the Georgia Senate, we should at once
have an end of the appointment of
white Democrats to federal offices in
the South, and our postoffices and coll
lectorships would be filled with ne
groes.
AS matter of good policy, does 1t
not seem as if the time had come when
we could afford to deal little more
gently with those who have heretofore
acted with the Populist party? They
are white men and Georgians, and we
hope to get them to come back into the
Democratic party and help us build up
the state. The Democracy is big
/ CT
! enough. and should be liberal enough,
to treat all white Georgians as friends
and we'll wishers of the state.

Personal.

Contrary to a popular belief Great
ed by long years of newspaper misrep,
resentation Russell Sage is not only
quite particular about what he eats,
but is valiant trencherman and a
good authority on matters of the Gull
sine. New York papers, in spite of
this fact. periodically describe his
midday meal as consisting of a crack
er, an apple and a glass of water. AS
a matter of fact he generally lunches
in the Western Union building, with
such men as the Goulds, Gen Eckart
and other officials of the Gould inter.
ests.
Lieut. Thomas NJ. Bains, Jr.. whose
quick wit and bravery prevented the
surprise and destruction of the Amer
lean garrison at Sarnar, is a Philadel-
phia boy. He was born in Philadelphia
in 1877, and was educated in the
Friends Central School. After he was
graduated he went to Cornell Univer-
sity At the outbreak of the Spanish
war he enlisted in the Sixth Artillery,
and with his battery was sent to Tam
pa Fla. Later ne was ordered to the
Philippines, and made quartermaster
sergeant of the battery. On July 25,
1889, Bains was made a second lieu
tenant, and assigned to the Ninth In
fantry. He joined his regiment at Pc
kin, and saw much of the work done
there.
Prof. Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve,
head of the department of Greek in the
Johns Hopkins University, and one OF
the most distinguished Greek scholars
in the world was 70 years of age on
last Wednesday. In commemoration
of the event a committee of the pro-
fessors of that institution is preparing
what will be a very remarkable and
valuable volume. 1t will not alone at
test the love and veneration with
which Prof. Gildersleeve is regarded
by scholars all over the country, but
will constitute a valuable addition to
Greek philology. The book is to be en-
titled Studies in Honor of Basil Lam
neau Gildersleeve." and will consist OF
a number of pathological articles con-
tributed by his former students at the
University of Virginia and the Johns

A NEST OF HORNETS.

A hailstorm of denunciation, expos
tulation and exhortation has descended
upon the head of President Pritchett,
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, one of the foremost scientific
schools in the country. He has an
nounced he intends to open a "verein"
in Boston, where students of Harvard
and the Tech may have beer and tobac-
co and meet, in informal social inter-
course. with each other and their in
structors.
The hailstones with which Mr.. Prit-
chett is being pelted proceed princi-
pally from the Womans Christian
Temperance Union, though other tenn
perance organizations in Boston and
some of the churches are taking a hand
in the game. Their contention SUBJ
stantially is that Mr.. Pritchett is eth
err the direct representative of Satan
on this terrestrial ball or else a DON
key of such magnitude that his like
has never been seen.
The strong probability is that he is
neither. He has spent much of his
time in Germany and there he has seen
the influence for good that is welded
by the professor of the German univer-
sites over the student body and he has
seen how close and friendly is the re-
lationship that exists between them
He has reached the conclusion that the
students who want to drink are going
to drink anyhow and that there is no
use in attempting to prevent them do
ing so through the medium of appeals
and warnings from a platform or
through repressive measures involving
severe punishments. He realizes
that il is better to seek to
control an evil which the ex-
perience of the ages has taught
is not to be suppressed by means of a
simple BE it enacted" or any like
measure. In this case Mr. Pritchett, in
| the closer relationship and the more
easy and friendly intercourse between
the teacher and the taught, hopes to
draw good from evil
1t is not necessary to indorse the po-
stion Mr.. Pritchett has taken or to
proclaim it the panacea for all the evils
that afflct Back Bay students, to yield
| him the credit of holding honest and
matured convictions He is the head
| of leading institution of learning, Sc
lected for the post because Of his fitness
and his sympathy with the work It
is idle and foolish to say he has at
heart anything but the best interests
of the young men who are committed
to his charge.
1t is such incidents as this which go
to explain why prohibition does not
prohibit. When a man of Mr.. Prit-
chett's character and influence holds
such views it is not hard TO understand
why public sentiment does not uphold
sumptuary prohibition laws.

where He Failed.

"My health is all right" snapped the
drummer, according to the Detroit
Free Press. Here is the truth regard
ing my sudden illness. Just before |
left on my last trip my wife chanced
to remember that she had secohu
cousin living in a little town that l eX-
nected to visit, and she made me
promise to call on her. 1t so happened
that was obliged to pass the night
where this second cousin lived, ana

discovered her relative to be maiden
lady of uncertain age, living alone In
the company of a dog, three cats ana
a parrot.
- L am sorry to hear that you are a
commercial traveller she said, atter
we had explored the family album as
a matter of duty.
Why?' l asked.
Because as a class they are so
dissipated and ungodly,' she answered
Now, l am not one to desert my col

puted the assertion fatty.
That is not So said l. I person

men, and l can assure you that they
are mainly men with strong religious
leanings. Now said /, warming up

THAT dear, old girl dragged me
away to prayer meeting and introduce

they would have advertised me and
charged an admission.
But the climax came when the min
lister arose with beaming face and
looking at me, said:
Brother Blank, will you lead in

heart failure, and for a country doctor
he wasn't far from the truth
