WOMAN WINS
PLACE As
SPEAKER
YOUNG LADIES ON THE LIST OF
UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE INSTITUTION.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATH-
EMS. June 14-The board of trustees at
their session yesterday afternoon, decided
that representatives from the two female
branches of the University of Georgia,
the State Normal school at Athens, and
the Georgia Normal and Industrial college
at Adilledgeville, be allowed to speak at
the exercises Of the different branches Of
the university on next Tuesday afternoon.
This action is not so surprising, for 1t
was noticed in the chancellor's report,
read Thursday, that he did not express
himself adverse to this step, but stated
that II the representative from the State
Normal school be allowed to speak, pro-
vision should be made for representative
from the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college.
The representative chosen to speak from
the State Normal school was Miss Lollie
NJ Smith, daughter of Hon. r.. B. Smith,
county school commissioner OF Green
county. She is member of this year
graduating class and is considered one OF
the brightest minds and best scholars in
attendance at the State Normal school.
She easily won out in the contest for this
honor, and will represent her school on
next Tuesday at the commencement eX-
ercises participated in by all the branches
of the University of Georgia. When the
announcement Of her selection was mace
some time ago in The Journal, the fact
created CONSERVATION in the minds of the
alumni, and all awaited the action of the
trustees when they met here.
Speaking OF the decision given out late
yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Hill said:
''It was entirely the decision Of the trus-
tees. and 1 will tell you how it came
about as regards to the representative or
the Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege. When 1 was down there to COM
mencement, 1 heard a very fine paper
read by Miss Emily f. Nucholls. Of Fort
Mitchell, Ala, and the paper which she
had prepared was excellent, and was de-
scriptive of the nature and special work
of the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college. 1 remarked that If Miss Smith
be allowed to speak at the university COM
mencement, an excellent paper upon a
most excellent subject has unwittingly
been prepared for the occasion for a rep
resentative of this college, and 1 spoke to
President Chapel about 1t. Tonight tel
egraphed Miss Nuckles and she will repre-
sent the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college,"

MARTINIQUE VOLCANO
AFFECTS MANY PLACES

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 1.-THE con-
tention or biologists that the recent seis-
mic disturbances in Martinique would not
only affect territory adjacent to Martin
ique, but would also be noticed in this
country, is borne out by the following let
ter sent by Colonel II. c. Demming, of
the United States Geological survey. to J.
d. Wolcott, Of the American geological
survey, Washington, d. c.:
During the past month have taken at
various places in Pennsylvania in my
geological work number of elevations
above sea level, and 1 have found in ev-
cry case where elevations had been TAX
en- previously that the present figures
show higher elevations than before.
1t is possible that this is due to the seis-
mic disturbances in the Martinique and
other islands southeastwardly from the
United States. I found the variation to be
from two inches to more than "a on com

CHANCELLOR HILL MAKES SEW
ERAL IMPORTANT RECON-
MENDATI0NS FOR AeRICUL-
TURAL DEPARTMENT.

ATHENS. Ca, June 1S.-Chancelior Hill
in his annual report to the board Of trus-
tees on Thursday afternoon strongly rec
commended several very important changes
in the agricultural course of the Univer-
sfty OF Georgia. He recommended
course Of nature study which will place
the student IN closer contact with all
forms OF vegetation and animal life.
Another innovation in this course, he
suggested a correspondence course with
the young farmers of the state who are
unable 70 go 10 college for their informa-
ton vet are anxious to farm on scientific
principles.
The third and most important recon-
rnendation in this course was for a short
er term in the agricultural course.
The success OF the winter course of three
months was so great as TO merit the
recommendation Of an agricultural course
OF one OF two years. These recommends
tions have been made TO the trustees now
sitting in session and it is thought action
will be taken upon this subject this week.
Mrs Kinnebrew, the matron of Den
mark hall. the new students dining room.
prepared and gave an old-fashioned bar
becue to the student boarders and their
invited friends. The pigs, sheep and beef
were barbecued on the campus in front of
the hall, and most OF the vegetables used
today were raised on the university farm.
A large crowd Of the young lady COM
mencement visitors, with chaperones,
dined at the hall with the boys today,
and altogether IL was a most enjoyable
affair The board Of visitors and the

STORY OF THE BELT LINE DEAL
FROM BIRMINGHAM-SALE WAS
CAUSE OF NO SURPRISE
IN MAGIC CITY.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 12.-The final
announcement by Mr.. II. NJ. Atkinson, of
the Birmingham Belt Railroad company,
that the Belt system had been purchased
by the Frisco system, was received In
Birmingham without surprise, as several
things had transpired to lend color to the
original report, sent out from New York
some days ago.
The amount said TO have been received
for the Belt is 100000. Mr.. Atkinson and
associates purchased it last october for
$685. 900. Real estate was then purchased
in the territory of the Belt at an outlay of
$1,000 making the total cost $475, 900. The
net profit to Mr.. Atkinson and his asso-
ciates is S125.00O.
Some surprise has been expressed that
the Southern railway has made no oppo-
sition to the entrance of a competitor into
the Birmingham district 1t is said that
the secret of this is an understanding
which John Shelton Williams had with j.
Pierpont Morgan at the time of the cele-
brated transaction in Louisville and Nash
vile stocks.
General Roadmaster L. B. Parsons, of
the Seaboard, arrived in Birmingham yes
terday and is in charge of the material to
be used in building the extensions into
Birmingham. Work will begin when the
litigation is over.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE cotton market

that market closed quiet and net unchanged.
to y point higher. Spot cotton was quiet and
1-s2d lower on sales Of only 5000 bales. More
over there were foreign buying orders I'm
hand to speak OF. Yet the weather forecast
indicated no relief from the drouth over the
central and western sections of the belt and
the chart this morning gave positively rain
fall where most needed in the belt. Soon after
the call prices rallied quite sharply on de-
rnand from smaller shorts but at most bust
ness was along hand-to-mouth lines and COM
mission houses were quite bare of business.
The whole list worked up to last nights prices
with October time at So6 bid. Then came
gradual reaction under selling for profits by
conservative scalpers and light Wall street
to the opening figures. The Chronicle crop
weather summary Of the week south was re-
garded as bullish but few traders were salts
fed that actual damage has as yet been sus-
thined by the crop as a result of the dry
weather. The private kilograms stated that
the hot winds were prevalent in Central Texas
again but that as a general thing the plant
was withstandng the heat and lack Of moisture
extremely well.

RISDICTI0N.

WATERBURY, Conn, June 13.-Judge
Robinson, of the superior court, has hand
ed down a decision dissolving the inJunc-
ton which restrained the executors OF the
Plant will from removing the $1I,OOO,O0O
trust fund from Connecticut into New
York, except that $4,000 900. the amount
of a legacy to which Charles E. Hoad-
ley, of this city is entitled, as represent
ing his children, must remain in this state
according to the decision.
Judge Robinson finds that the Hoadley
heirs are collateral kindred, being sons OF
a half brother of the testator, and as such
they have a collateral interest in the es-
tate. He does not find, however, that ac-
cording to will, they are in any way inter-
ested in the distribution of the $17,Oo0,000
trust fund in the event of the decease or

No diminution in business is apparent from
labor controversies owing to the prosperous
condition of the agricultural sections and the
bright outlook for this years crops. Retail

has felt the stimulus OF higher temperature
Railway earnings in May were ST per cent
larger than last year and 2l.7 per cent above
those Of 1900 .
between the amount of business offered and
the contracts closed in many branches OF
the iron and steel industry owing to inability
of producers to assure delivery at specined
time. Contracts running well into next year
indicate that the end of activity is not near
Pressure is still most conspicuous for rail-
way and structural supplies and agricultural
implement works are crowded with orders.
Limited stocks still the cause OF stead
mess in all branches OF textiles Holders are
not urging sales and buyers show a disposition
fiuenced by the prospect OF cheaper raw ma
terial after the new crop begins to move.
Cotton rose slightly on a few unfavorable
weather reports. but the outlook is very bright
In many states.
/ Tardy deliveries of sample prices by the
wooden mills has caused complaint among the
clothiers. and fail orders are not placed freely
Wool sells more freely at leading eastern
markets and quotations are steady.
No change of Importance has occurred In
