GOBBLING THE PEABODY
FUND.

The trustees of the Peabody trust
are to meet this month, and it is be-
lieved by some the effort of Atlanta
to collar the entire fund will then be
contaminated. Edward Ingle dis
cusses the subject in a recent number
of the Manufacturers Record. He
shows that Robert G. Winthrop, once
a trustee of the fund, who knew Mr..
Peabody, never entertained the idea
that Il state, much less one city,
could absorb the fund. He thought
all the states in the South should
share in any distribution of the fund
that might be made. The late J. l..
M. Curry said that Mr.. Peabody had
clearly IN his mind "nOt a prepOn-
derant expenditure for one, but a diff
fusion of benefits among ALL"
The trustees of the fund should
know that the students in the South
who propose to become teachers can
not pay railroad fare to and from a
distant city, nor are they able to pay
living expenses in a large town. In
other words, the Atlanta proposition
is simply and wholly a proposition
to gobble the entire fund fOrthe bene-
fit of Atlanta and Georgia, leaving
out of consideration the students of
all the other Southern states. This
is exactly what it means, when the
naked facts are considered.
DR.. Curry fought the proposition
to concentrate the fund in the Pea
body normal college at Nashville, on
the ground that one college "could
never meet the varied wants of the
school, rural and urban, primary and
secondary, of such a large territorial
ares as the Southern states" What
he said in 1894 stands good to day, |
and unless the trustees desire to rob |
a dozen states for the purpose of ben
citing one city, or at the most one |
state, they will reject the plan that |
has been formulated by Atlanta for
Atlanta.

SOUTHERNPINE FURNITURE.

A dealer in fine furniture in New
York advertises bedroom suits of
Georgia pine; bed, bureau and
Washstand, 800; reduced from $I2O."
These prices are pretty high, aud no
doubt home makers could turn out
three pieces at much lower figures,
lack some of the artistic features of
the New York goods.
But the fact that Southern pine is
marching on from inside decoration
to furniture is encouraging, and pos
sibly it will yet outrank for the lat
ter purposes oak or bird's-eye maple.
In very truth curly pine is not equal
ed by any of the other woods. Its
rich beauty is enhanced by the color
of age. 1t is as strong as mahogany,
and when it has stood in the interior
twenty years it has all the richness
of that tropical wood.
Southern pine is still cheap in
price, and it is plentiful, and these
things perhaps keep it from general
adoption for furniture manufacturing
purposes. It has all else to commend
it-solidity of texture and richness
of grain and in the long run of color.
Highly polished the grain appears
in marvellous beauty. Surely the
Southern curly pine will yet displace
the hardwoods, and become the IA
Vorite material for all high-grade
work in the interior of buildings,
whether that work relates to the
movable pieces.

1853, with my older brother,
crossed the plains to "where rolls
the Oregon" At the time OF our
arrival, and for ten years there
after, the whole Northwest was in.
an almost continuous state of war
with the Indians. That, with the
influx of thousands of people on
account of the discovery of gold;
people of all nations and of all
color, creed and dispositions.
gamblers, thieves and cutthroats,'
who flocked to the mines where
better opportunity was afforded
for their pursuits, gave the new
country an unenviable reputation.
1t often became necessary to call
upon Judge Lynch to bring them;
to justice.
But things have changed. Law.
and order prevail. Judge Lynch's $.
court has adjourned sine die, and
the state court is held instead ;,
The Indian no longer wields the
tomahawk and scalping knife. His
hideous yells have been super
ceded by the steam whistle. lt8I
has been placed on reservations
