DEBATE AT MARION. ].
Discussion by Literary, Societies of Military. Institute. :, : .. '

1NlIltaIyt 4uSt1tuIe 'a r --
 Marion, May "24-(special) )-The' annual debate between the Jefferson and tho Franklin Literary Societits of the Marion Military Institute was held in the Institute Chapel last evening The subject was: Resolved, That the Secondary School should take the place of the college. D ''
 The affirmative was. argued for the Franklin by J. T. MeCants of Taliadega. and Prentiss Blackwell of Decatur; the negative was argued for the Jefferson by H. P. Dawson of Montgomery and A. G. Perkins of Louisiana. The affirmative won: and the judges also awarded the prize for the best individual argument to Prentiss Blackwell. Mir. Blackwell is the son of Hon Samuel Blackwell. His speech was of unusual merit, the ideas were clearly developed. the argument was logical and convincing; the language was exact. clear, and 'forcfble; and his delivery was marked hy ease. self lf-possession. and exceptional persuasive power.
 The subject of the debate was a ques- tion now foremost in the minds of the leading educator: and the diseussion was listened to with deep interest by a large audience. The Institute Is perhaps the leading secondary school in America, certainly in the South. which aims ID make its courses integral parts of the courses al such universities as harvard. Columbia. Chicago. and the University of Virginia While giving ,iheral educa- tion. with special care for accuracy and thoroughness. it prepared especially for professional study and for such uniNersi- ties. e
 The visitors to comm .ncement have already begun to arrive. The Institute and the Judscn expect the largest num- her If visitors from a distance in many years President Cha rles W. Dsbney's ad- dress is beins looked forward to with much interest He comes ss the South g leading educator; and his message will be source of inspiration and effort to children and parents and teachers

 1t is possible that all bids may be re. jected. The Committee is. 1t fs under stood. at sea over the matter. The latest of the school building arises from the fact that the lowest of the three bids submitted, Friday night Is ovef $3,ooO higher than the estimates by the archi- tects who prepared the plan for the pro- posed building. Two sets of plans for the building. were submitted to the Coun- cil by twS nEms of aTchitects The cost estimate from one of the srchitects would be s8.s00.

 the estimated cost and the lowest bid for the work from a contractor has caused the Committee to pause and deliberate.
 Just what action win be taken by the Committee cannot be gforetold. It is pos- eible that there Is another delay in sight for the rebuilding of the Heron Street School house.
 Since the very day of the fire which de- sfroyed the building the matter has been vexatious one to the Council. It has altogether been a lively question and the limit of its troubie-producing ability has not been reached.

"CHIC" AND "EPATANT."
For Every Slang Word Regularized Another is Born. 7.

London Teiegraph's Paris Letter
 Chic IS now good French. French scholars please note. Also masters and examiners should make a memorandum of the fact. The French Academy, after long and at times bitter discussion, has just set the solemn seal of its formal ap- provai upon the hitherto slang word, and has pronounced it worthy to be admitted into the sacred pages of the great Acad- emical Dictionary. This work was, of course, already published years ago. The discussion, which has juat resulted in the recognition of the word chic related to a new edition. The latt.r will, 1t Is con fidentiy expected, be ready for pubiica- tion less than two centuries hence. It should be explained that the French Academy no sooner has brought out an mences revising the tome with a view to yet another improved. augmented. and modernized reprint. The edition now in preparation was. started on such an ex- years labor the Academy is still at the letter 'C. When 'Z'' is finished 1t will accordingly be out of date. and many Academicians feel rather like the Dana ides attempting to fill the bottomless cask when they are at work upon the dic- tiinary. But this does not alter the fact that chic IS now good French. The decisions of the Academy become law as soon as they are rendered, even though the book embodying them may not be seen in print until the twenty-second century.
 From The London PaII Mall Gazette:
 The Academic are almost too late in their dictionary recognition of the word
 chic" This admirably expressive mon osyllable has almost been busted from the current tongue by another word "ep- atant." Everything is "epataut'' nowa- days. It has the vogue and applicability to all circumstances that lawfully jolly" had in England some years aga. As to chic it came into being. SD it is said from the name of d pupil of the cele- bratcd painter David. This young man. who was only IS when he died, was called Chicque His results were SD clever and unexpected that his companions when they saw d picture with unsfudiei effects and spontaneity in it. said. oh. there IS chique in that"'I Ii spread tr other att. Hers, and then came into genera: use The public gave it d new meaning 1t now means many things-elAzdn smart, ness. niceness For tastance. a nan ot fashion is "chlc. il IS chic to dine at Bignon's. or to read The Pan Mall Ga zette. An expression that Is cppalne into Rraat favor jpsk nn~ is 'AAn~ l~ .-Ain, ,'

Among the most retable efforts of w. H., Stoddard on the Contest ip the Arena" Mr. Stoddard manifested consid- erable talent as an orator and acquitted himself nobly. The monologue rendered Kisses, and Miss Annie Lester Brantley on "Mammy's Love Story.' were excel- lent and excited considerable merrinent. Nellie chafin.

Min nie Miller, Ruby Wright and Mary Enzer. led by Miss Woods, teacher of vocal nau- sic. Their efforts excited the admiration of the entire audience and brought forth a storm of prolonged applause.
 The efforts of all the students were splendid. and feature particularly mo- ticeable throughout the entire exercises was the absence of anything which indt- cated embarrassment on the part of the students. every one being apparently easy and self-possessed, thereby indicating the most excellent training.

VOTED FOR OFFICERS.
ELECTION YEsTERDAY. IN THE e. THIRD INFANTRY. .
Believed Harmony Ticket Headed by Mcconnell Was successful-Bal-
 lots to be Counted by Adju- tant General Wednesday. .

An election to fill the vacancy in the field officers of the 3rd Infantry. Alabama National Guard, caused by the resigna- ton of Lieutenant Colonel O. Kyle. Ma jors T. T. Huey. W. J. .Parkes and H. H. Mcconnsu was held yesterday By the of- ficers of the various companies of the regiment. The result will not be known with any degree of assurance until the ballots are opened wednesda,, the 18th, in the office of the Adjutant General at the State Capitol. =.
 It is reasonably certain that Major F. P. Mcconnell of Talladega. was elected to succeed Lieutenant Colonel Kyle, Cap tan J. H. Bankhead of Jasper to succeed Major T. T. Huey; Captain ,. @L. Dan iels of Anniston. to. succeed Major W. J. Parkes and Captain R. E. simpson of Florence. to succeed Major H. E McCon- nell. In fact|it Is not believed that there was any opposition to any of the above
 The ticket headed by Major F. P. Mo- Council for Lieutenant Colonel, Is the harmony ticket agreed upon, by thirty of the line officers of the regiment. It is therefore thought that no votes will be cast against the ticket. although some of the extreme partisans of both the Kyle and Higdon factions declined to enter the agreement for the support of. the harmony ticket @s,.. v ', sJ..
