der Consideration.
A meeting of the Oglethorpe Monu-
ment Association was held yesterday
afternoon at the Georgia Historical
Society. The meeting was an enthusi-
astic one, and while no definite plans
were made, much was accomplished
toward the ends which the association
has in view.
The main topic of discussion was the
site for the proposed memorial, and
the form of the monument itself Sew
eral members were in favor of rearing
an arch at the north entrance to For
syth Park The location, they thought,
would afford the most imposing view
for the monument. Others thought
that such an arch at the intersection
of Bull street and Oglethorpe avenue
would be more appropriate, though all
agreed that in the event such an arch
were constructed, the figure of Ogle-
thorpe should surmount the whole.
There were others who did not look
with favor upon the plan for an arch,
thinking that a handsome marble
shaft, to conform to the others reared
on Bull street, would be more appro-
PIRATE and more imposing. The sug-
gestions made by those present will
De weighed by the Committee on Sites
in making their selection of the site.
The committee has examined many
designs, and studied no little architec-
ture, making a special study of the
Roman and Norman arches. AS soon
as they have decided on the character
OF the memorial, designs will be adj
Vertsed for, so that the work may be
completed as soon as may be.
Gen. w. w. Gordon presented the
association with $25, it being his sub
Scription to the Greene fund, which
was returned by the committee in
charge of the reinterment This is the
1irst of the returned funds that has
been diverted to the use of the asso-
citation, and it is hoped by the mem
bers that others will evidence their
support of their patriotic purpose by
donations in kind 's.
The society received acceptances from
many prominent persons, in Georgia
ana other states, as honorary vice
presidents of the association. Among
these were acceptances from Senator

Religious Opinion That Romance
Declines in Our Complex Modern
Life.
From the Christian Intelligencer
For several reasons there is less ro-
nance in and more holding back from
love making than formerly. Not that
youth is less susceptible. Here there
is no change. But young men have
grown more anxious concerning WAYS
and means than their fathers were
more solicitous to have an income that
will warrant their marrying and be-
ginning home life, and more doubtful
to make wife happy on small means
than men used to be. Many young
men are SO agreeably established in
pleasant bachelor quarters where thew
have home comfort in addition to in
dependence, that they do not know the
forlorn estate of the men who are en-
camped in the dreary waste of a board
ing house.
Girls, on the other hand, have be-
come self-suppoIting to an extent hith-
erto undreamed of. Those who 60 to
college are fitted for professional ca
reer, and often, having spent four
years in college study, and two or three
years more in direct training for med
ical work. or teaching. or Journalism.

Thousands of young women. too who
never go to college, earn their bread
and assist their families. Sometimes,
these girls know that they cannot east

they have grown Indifferent to mar

them, while they are not the social
equals of men whom they admire.
Life has taken on too manifest
compleXity in many places. Artificial

Pearl, Largest Child In the World
i'm This city.


i'm This city.
Pearl, said to be the largest
girl of her age in the world,
is in the city and was on
exhibition last night at O'Keefe's
billiard parlors. The youthful prodigy
is but II years of age and weighs
500 pounds, She has been on exhibit
ton at the Ellxs' fairs at Atlanta,
Americas and other southern cities
and is en- route to Jacksonville to APP
pear at the Elks carnival to be held
in that city in a few days.
Some idea of the immensely of the
child can be CLEANED from the fact
that she measures % inches in the
bicep; SO inches in the calf and IS
inches in the waist. She is but an inch
or two over four feet in hight and is
perfectly healthy, and may truly be
called pretty, despite her enormous
size. The Elks of this city interested
themselves in Pearl and have contrib
uted literally to her. She will be at
Okeefe's again to-day from IL to mid
night, and no charge will be made to
see her. She will be taken to Jack
sonville tomorrow by her manager.

THE PIRATIcAL CUCKOO.
Even the Young Birds are Absolute
Iy and Completely Depraved.

Even the Young Birds are. Absolute
Iy and Completely Depraved.
+ From the London Mail
Several correspondents send instan-
ces of the way in which the boung
cuckoo induced small birds other than
its original foster parents to become its
slaves as purveyors of food, Mr. ]. A.
Poulter of Bury Huntington. writes;
A young cuckoo was observed by my
self and members of my household be-
ing fed by a robin, and presently a
water wagtail, attracted by the plain
tive cry of the young bird, came and.
alternately with the robin, fed the
young cuckoo. This happened close to
the house. within a few yards of the
window, from which it could be plain
ly seen.
But more curious cases are to Re
found in "Our Cuckoos and other Para
sitical Birds by A. NJ. Japp, Ii.
D. DR.. Japp himself saw wren in
Crockleford Wood fall dead of eXhaus-
ton from feeding it's cuckoo, where
upon, in the course of three quarters
of an hour, the plaintive cries of the
glutton induced a pair of meadow p-
pits to take up the work of supplying it
with caterpillars. Mr.. Tom Speedys
story is also there set downtown Mrs.
Hoyes placed a young cuckoo in the
avairy with the intention of feeding it,
and how the task was taken from her
by an American blue robin, which kill
ed itself by overwork and starvation.
l do believe most thoroughly (wrOte
Mrs. Hoyes) that the poor wee bird
starved itself to death in trying to keep
the cuckoo satisfied with food. l haVe
seen it pick up three meal worms at
once when 1 threw it about a dozen in
the hope that it might take one for it
self. But no-every one he scrambled
for went down the cuckoo's throat.
After the decease of the blue robin
cardinal took up the work of feeding
Mrs Hoyes cuckoo.
The young cuckoo we know is an es-
pecially favored bird, being gifted with
superior means of working upon the
feelings of little birds of all kinds that
are necessary to its life. The case that
attracted our attention last week was
one of the adoption of young thrushes
by blackbird, which stands on
somewhat different footing. On this
point DIR. Japp writes:
Cases have been recorded of thrushes
and other birds lying in one nest (as
cartridges and pheasants often do and
then sharing the work of incubation.
Rev. We're AudrY. in the Spectator of
April rs, 1898. told of thrushes sitting
on blackbirds eggs; and in one case
he himself observed a blackbird sitting
on a branch just above the nest In
which hen thrush sat on blackbirds'
eggs and singing to her as to mate.
The Evesham Standard not long ago
reported a case of a nest containing
four blackbird's eggs and four
thrushes' eggs, the hen thrush and the
hen blackbird both having been seen
sitting on the eggs.

ENTERTAINED THE SAILORS.

Another entertainment was given
last night by the ladies of the Luth-

the church choir. to the jack tars at
the Savannah Port Society rooms. The
} entertainment was on the order of the
one given several days ago, and fur
nished much pleasure and fun to the
sailor boys. DR.. Schaeffer made a
short address which was appreciated.
The choir sang under the direction of
Prof. F. Hubner, and received many
compliments. Coffee and sandwiches
were served. and a good time was had
oy everybody. The sailors are very
grateful for the kindnesses of the la
dies of the Lutheran Church.

Large Audience Saw the Pan-Amer-

 A large audience witnessed the perform ance of the Pan-American Minstrels last night at the Casino Theatre, and were very much pleased with the show.
 The songs in the first part were well rendered, and merited the applause they received.
 The Musical Martins are certainly the best xylophone players that have been seen in Montgomery. They rendered Sou sa's new march, "The Invincible Eagle, :" with spirit, and their playing of "William Teli' brought great applause from the audience.
 John Healy. as the negro comedian. kept the audience laughing at his imita- ton of the old negro preacher discussing vital subjects with his congregation. All of Healys jokes are new and are cleverly told
 Leighton and Leighton did some good clog dancing. Their fake baseball game while dancing was applauded with enthu- siasm by the audience.
 The La Toy brothers did some good fancy Jumping and tumbling
 The whole show kept the audience amused from start to finish and deserves the patronage of the public. Much poorer entertainment has been seen here at hirh- CT prices. The company Is large for a summer house. and those who enjoy re- fined innstrelsy with no tiresome features should not miss seeing the Pan-Ameri- cans.
