A Venerable Freshman.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Logan D. Bleckley, exChief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, one of the ablest judges in the entire South, has created a sensation by en- tering as freshman in the University of eorgia at the age of 73 for special economy. The venerable jurrist, who might we'll take the position of chan cellor or occupy a profesb or's chair, simply announced to the officials, "I am going to enter the freshman class. I believe in starting at the bottom and going up. I may be able to com plete the studies in all the classes be- fore I leave college; at least that Is my intention" The judge further asked to be exempted from hazing, which was agreed to- and he at once entered upon his duties as scholar The freshmen are delighted with their new classmate, and as he is still strong and alert, are trying to induce him to preside over first base in the varsity nine. He will hardly consent to this, however, as he has not so much time at his command for study as the rest of his classmates.
 The presence of Judge Bleckley in the classroom and on the campus should prove an inspiration to his | associates and convince them it is never too late to learn. At an age when most men are anxious to rest from labor Judge Bleckley, though full of honors and distinctions, and already accounted among the scholars of the day, finds there are some things he does not know and goes to school

She Was q Mother.

When you have painfully climbed one high hill and find there is another as high, perhaps higher, to climb, you lose courage.
 Mrs. R. E. Anderson, of Cumber- land, Maine, lost courage.
 You should hear her story, which is an ungarnished statement of fact, and has been attentively listened to by her friends, and hundreds besides.
 I heard it from her own lips, and was so impressed that l remember every circumstance of the event, even the date, which was March 9th, 1900.
 She told me that her four children were all afflicted with diphtheria at the same time, and that the youngest, a boy seven years of age, was sick nigh unto death.
 It was a high hill that she climbed at this time; it was difficult, too i; and when she had climbed it she felt shat her own resources of strength and endurance had been greatly tasked, and she felt the need of rest.
 But the disease had left the boy very weak. He was constantly grow ing weaker, and gradually losing mus eular power in his body and limbs i; and her anxiety was increased by sym pathetic neighbors, who whispered Paralysis.
 She found there was another, prob Ably higher and more difficult hill b climb, and she lost courage; but Aot all the courage she had, for she vas a mother.
 The boy grew worse. His con- dition became such as to move the stoutest heart, and, said Mrs. Ander- son, had nearly despaired of saving him, having tried many different medi- sines to no purpose whatever, when I began giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla. At first that medicine did not seem to do him much good; but it had much to do before it could make all it's effects manifest. It had to cleanse and enrich blood that had been poisoned and impoverished, and to recover, strength en, and tone system that had been prostrated and debilitated by the malevolence of one of the worst of all diseases I had faith in it and gave it . fair trial, and in short time the boy ceased to complain, began to regain the muscular power he had lost, and to eat well, aAd at the end of three months was able to attend school a part of the time. It was not long before he was a we'll, strong boy, and the benefit he derived from the medicine was permanent. He is now the picture of health"
 Mrs. Anderson thinks Hoods Sarsa- parilla wonderful, and recommends it on all occasions. She has reason to do so. Many others, who also recom- mend it, have reason to do so, too.

UNNECESSARY ALARM
At Meeting of Ministers the Question
 of Indemnity Was Discussed.

Pekin, February 2S.-General Gaselee' s orders to have his men ready should the Chinese prove recalcitrant created un- necessary alarm among the powers. He was only obeying a former instruction from Count Von Waldersee. No one be- lieves that the expedition to the interior will be made.
 General Chaffee's orders to send the United States troops to the Philippines include all except two companies of ln- fantry, which Major Edgar B. Robert son probably will command.
 Nothing has been done in the way of preparing quarters for the United States legation guard, although the arrange ments for the other powers are well to- ward completion. .l 4s##
 The authorities are still awaiting in- structions from Washington. No one, either military or civilian, understands the delay In making a decision which Is considered of great importance.

Conferees Have DeadIocked Over Riv
 CTS and Harbors Bill.

Washington, March IA protracted conference struggle on the river and harbor bill is promised. The conferences began informally even before the House conferees were appointed. But as there are 299 items of difference, some of them up to the million dollar mark, there is little prospect of even a partial agree ment before tomorrow or Sunday. The matter was further complicated by the reference of the bill back to the River and Harbor Committee, but Chairman Burton immediately called a meeting and hopes to begin formal conferences dur ing the day.
 The Boston harbor,, Buttermilk chan nel, New York; Curtis Bay, Baltimore harbor; Galveston inner channel; Oak land and San Pedro, California har- bors, and the Allegheny, Big Sandy and Brazos Rivers and the arid land resor- voirs are among the chief items causing serious division.
