LAST NIGHTS LECTURE.
DIR. George G. Groff's lecture last
night was charming description of
Porto Rico. DR.. Croft was sent by the
United States government to our new
possessions, where he has spent about
two years in the educational interests
of the island. He illustrated his lee
ture by many stereopticon views. Those
who imagined there was race Of
ignorant savages in Porto Rico. he said
could realize their mistake by these
photographs.
San Juan, with the castle OF San Cris-
tobal, and glimpses of the wonderful
masonry of the walls surrounding San
Juan and many handsome buildings,
were shown with portions of streets
and beautiful plazas. Much of the archi-
lecture is purely Moorish and very
lovely.
1t is an Oriental city in many re-
spects, with its flat housetops and
irregular streets. The governors pal
ace is frOnted by a wall fifty feet thick
at the water gate.
Among the views was one of Castle
Blanca, erected by Ponce de Leon, who
founded the city of San Juan. Among
other objects of interest was the splen-
did statue of Christopher Columbus in
the Colon Plaza. The national road in
Porto Rico Is one OF the finest roads in
the world.
The Spaniards left not single pub
lie school. All the schools were in pri-
vate houses. They left neither books,
buildings, nor school appliances of any
sort. There We're no grades in their
schools and no desks. There We're 3O,-
900 children in the schools established
by the United States when DR.. Croft
left the island with 100000 outside, for
whom there We're neither buildings nor
teachers, At this time $4,000 pupils are
accommodated. They are very eager to
learn.
All the revenues received for taxes
are expended in the cities. The coun-
try districts go without.

janitor's force in the capitol at WASH
ington, She kept her Bible by her when
at work, and would stop scrubbng and
read until she heard footsteps along the
corridors, when she would hide the book
and begin vigorously to scour the floors.
lngersoll had been watching her, and
one morning quietly slipped to her side.
when he saw she was reading the Bible.
MARY, do you believe all you read
there? he asked. "Eb'ry word" That
God made man from udst?" "In

pose 1t had rained, and the dust had
turned to mud-what then should we

opens at the Lyceum on Saturday after

THE PROSPECT NOT PROMISING.
Peach Crop in Georgia Less Than
Halt One.

Commissioner of Agriculture o. B.
Stevens, who has been over the state
to considerable extent within the last
few weeks, says the peach crop will nm
questIonably be cut much shorter than
the people have had any idea of up to
the present time. General farm crops
are also suffering severely
II cannot see how we can have q
large cotton crop this year Colonel
Stevens said recently. SIN fac', I do
not believe, under the present condi-
tions, that it is possible"
Colonel Stevens thinks that the late
planting and the slow growth of the
crop is sure indication that 1t will be
much shorter this year than last.
''As to the peaches, Colonel Stevens
said, "we will have less than half a
crop this year. The prospects are not
near so favorable as last year. In adj
dition to all that the peaches have suf
fered up to the present time, the cur.
culio is now attacking them in almost
every part of the state.
''This is the worm or insect that
gets into the peach and DESTROYS it
while it is still green, and causes the
young fruit to fall off the tree. Much
OF the crop is now being destroyed
from this cause and there is no telling
where it will stop
I'm some parts of Georgia where
cotton and corn have been planted
there has not been rain enough to
bring up the seed In some places
planting has not been completed,
while in still others there has been no
planting at all. Farmers are not pleas
