 Not Made of Proper Material.
 Now for my part want to say that it is due to General Wood. 1t is due to the President of the United States, that he shall not only explain, but disprove many of the statements made in the evidence now here for consideration before con- firmation should be thought of. The fact that he Is willing to let this investigation go on without personally meeting it like man, Is in itself strong evidence to my mind that he Is not made of the material that goes to make up soldiers such as we need for our major generals and chiefs of staff"
 Senator Scott commented on the evi- dence tending to reflect on General Woods character as a man by impeaching his integrity and veracty, and then after summing up other charges. says:
 '"ro my mind a most grieyous injustice has been done in the preferment of Gen eral Wood over a hundred or more other army officers-offcers who won distinc- tion on many bloody battlefield battle- fields where more lives were lost and more prisoners taken in one day. than during the entire Spanish-American war"

 Court Is Adjourned.
 Macon, January 11.-An event unusual in United States courts occurred today when Judge Emory Speer of the southern district of Georgia, paid an eloquent trib- ute to General John R. Gordon from the bench and on motion declared the court adjourned until after the funeral. In course of his remarks Judge Speer said; Tn honor of such a noble and unself1sh man of such a generations and broad minded American no department of gov ernment can do too much. This court exercising its Jurisdiction among the peo- pie by whom he was idolized, when 1t ad- journs today, will stand adjourned until the mortal remains of our illustrious coun- tryman shall be committed to hallowed rest in the soil of the state and county he loved and served so well"
 Ex-Governor Jones Speaks.
 Montgomery, January 11.-In the Unit ed States court today Judge Thomas G. Jones, who served on the staff of the late General Gordon, said in part:
 "Gordon was indeed great American. I and acts since the great war, it would be more than fit that a United States court. which in it's sphere represents common country, should do honor to the memory of this illustrious American.
 But apart from this, his career in war illustrated all that is highest and noblest in a God-fearing manhood, and typified a moral grandeur which made him loved by the people of the south at the hour of his death, beyond all other men. In or der. therefore, to do fitting homage to the memory of General John B. Gordon, the ilustrious southern soldier, as well as the great American. the court will now adjourn"
 Judge Jones stated that when he had been definitely informed of the day of the funeral he would adjourn the court on that day in order that jurors, witnesses and others might have an opportunity to go and return from Atlanta.

 The lecture tonight was one of the most pleasing that the local confederate vete- rans have listened to. Library hall was filled to overhowing. A number were turned away unable to obtain seats and all the available standing room in the hall was taken.
 Col. w. c. McTyiere introduced Captain Hobson with a most happy and appropri- ate speech. When the speaker of the evening arose he was given round after round of applause. He began his address on "America's Mighty Mission" in a slow measured tone. His sonorous voice, how ever, was audible in every portion of the hall As he proceeded in his address he warmed up to his subject and every one within the sound of his voice was con- vinced that they were listening to an orator who was speaking his convictions
 For one hour and fifty minutes he held the vast concourse of people in his power His addess Is repete with ques- tions pertaining to the greatness of Amer lea and the American people. He showed that he has studied his subject thoroughly and earnestly. He was frequently inter rupted by applause.
 At 10 o'clock the beauty and chivalry of Bessemer gathered in the ballroom to do honor to the gallant captain. The hall under the charge of Phil Painter had been beautifully decorated in the national col- ors. The buntings were draped in a very artistic manner and music was furnished ty Linnehan's orchestra of Birmingham.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE JEFFERSON
At the RIIou.

"Over Niagara Falls" melodrama, was presented at the Bijou last night to large audience and parts of the play caused great enthusiasm. The melodrams abounds fin sensational scenes, and 1t gives good role to the william, hero and the heroine all of which parts are ably presented by members of the company.
 The scenes are laid at and near Niagara Falls and the climax is reached when the heroine goes over the falls in bar rel. It requires great mechanical genius to make this scene effective. but electrici- fy, peculiar manipulations of cloth and other things known to the stage carpen- ter have been combined to cause the de- sired effectiveness
 The scenery is very handsome and 1t caused much enthusiasm last night The company playing Over Niagara Falls Is well balanced and somewhat stronger than those which have been here this season in several of the other melo- dramas. There will be the usual matinees today Thursday and Saturday.

daughter to IA picnic she said to Peach
Blossom. You must not leave until
you have hulled a bagful or rice and
oiled he broken crock with water"
While sitting there bemoaning her hard
lot she heard a twittering and a iut-
tering of wings. Looking up. she saw
q flock Of sparrows pecking the hufls
off the rice. Before recovering from
her surprise a little imp jumped out
of the fireplace and 8 o skillfully re-
paired the crock that but a few min

with water. Then she went to the pic
Mic and had Il royal time.
On another occasion the mother said.
You must stay until you have pulled
up all the weeds in the field" This
time a COW came out of the forest and
ate up the woods in ten mouthfuls.
Peach Blossom followed the cow into
the woods and was led to where there
was an abundance of ripe. luscious
fruit. Gathering a large quantity. she
went to the fete and was the most vel
come guest. Her Jealous sister asked
about it and. on being told. determined
she would get some of this fruit for
herself.
