Office at $50 Fifth Ave-, New York city.
The object of the league is to obtain a
permanent cure for the disease. 1t is
the intention Of the league to offer a
reward Of $4,000 for the discovery of a

secure all of them as members of the
league, and by contributions from
them and others secure the money to
build a sanatorium.

A university for women in Tokyo,
Japan. has lately been opened. Count
Okuma, in an address which formed a
part of the dedicatory exercises, ex-
pressed social and educational views
which could not be surpassed for lib
crafty by the leaders of thought in
our own country or England. When
our women are educated" he said,
our nation will be twice as strong as
it is now. The countries which have
tried to get along with standard
which applies only to the education Of
men have fallen conspicuously behinc
in the race of human progress" AS il
Illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey,
Persia and China. The count admit
ted that society in Japan was disfig-
ured by many abuses. The remedy, in
his opinion. lies in a radical reform of
the ideals Of family life, which can be
effected only by such an improvement
in the status of women as the new
university will bring about.

1t is n pleasure to outsiders, ana
no doubt to the citizens of Atlanta,
to know that Atlanta at last
has new mayor. Mr.. Livingston
Minis has been elected to that i'm
portant office. And, judging from
the favorable comments OF the Al
lanta press he is an upright, clea n
and sober man, who will reflect cred {
upon the Office, the city and himself.
The Atlanta News speaking OF the
now mayor says:
"He Is a man whose business tpain-
ing has equipped him for the office ;
a man successful with his own affairs,
therefore able to take care of the
city's affairs. The logical sequence
OF such mans administration is a
clean, wholesome and refreshing gov
ernment for the people who chose
him."
The new mayor in an interview
said:
81 have found the Job Of mayor
more trying already than ] ever eX.
pected," !" he said yesterday to friend.
But | am glad | am to be mayor Of
this beautiful city. There is so much
good to be accomplished for the peo.
pie OF Atlanta that am truly thank
ful for an opportunity to perform
even n small part Of it. I love At.
lanta and she shall have my best ef-
forts, for she deserves the best efforts
Of any man."
We congratulate Atlanta, and wish
the new mayor a successful admins

that the franchise for the Union Elec-
trio Street Car Line has been grant
ed. At the meeting OF the CITY
Council last Monday night, Mr.. L, G.
Duncan and his associates were
authorized and empowered to con-
struct, maintain and operate street
railway along the streets OF Union.
The railway is to he constructed with
single or double tracks, at the option
OF Mr.. Duncan and his associates.
The speed is not to exceed Is miles
per hour in the city limits. Work is
to begin upon the construction OF ,he
road on or before July 1st, 1901, and
must be completed and in operation
by July 1St, 1862. The franchise cy-
tends over period Of fifty years
from date.
This we think is one OF our greatest
achievements, and is great lever
in pushing Union still further toward
the front raaks in the industrial
progress Of our beloved State. We
hope and believe the enterprise will
be paying one to the promoters and
owners. To have first class cleo

to learn Of the capture OF the rebel
chieftain. Aguinaldo. But the ques
ton now is he said. what shall We
do with him
II do not consider the capture OF
Aguinaldo the most important thing
that could have happened. though it
lay have the effect TO send all Of the
rebels tumbling in 10 surrender as
fast As they can. General Trias. who
surrendered a few days ago. was more
important 10 my mind than any Of the
other fellows The Filipinos have
come To appreciate that a hero who
hides out in the bushes and keeps
away from the front as much as pos
sible is not much of a hero. and Aguin-
aldo has lost his old time prestige.
Now | hope To hear OF the capture
or surrender Of General Caillies. He
has more influence and following than
Aguinallo When he is captured or
surrenders, hostilitics will be near an
