"THE AMERICAN GIRL"
DR.. GRIGGS' SUBJECT.
Lecture at LawtOn Memorial Wen
Received by Large Audience.

Received by Large Audience.
A large and representative audience
heard DR.. George Waverly Briggs, of
Louisville, in his lecture, 1.-THE Amer
lean Girl" at Lawton Memorial last
night. His subject was well handled
and interested the audience. The
speaker was frequently applauded.
DR.. Briggs began his lecture by quot
ing the tribute paid to American wom-
en- by the former Chinese ambassador,
Mr.. WI Ting Fang, which he said was
the most finished and brilliant compli-
ment ever paid woman. He believed
it a more wholesome thing to look
upon it, not as an achievement, but
as an ideal yet to be attained, SHINING
like a star in the future. toward which
every young American woman should
be urged to strive.
The chief elements, he said, are
"Sagacity and saintliness." These were
discussed in that order and with a wit
and humor, and a power that is rare
ly heard upon the platform. DR.. Briggs
brings to bear on his subject not only
the witchery of oratory, but the skill
of a vigorous thinker.
The lecture closed with a tribute to
American mothers. These are the
true saints" he said. mo curious

too often hides their beauty from them
selves. But when the gates are flung

ought to be, and when the King comes
He shall know His saints"
To this closing eulogy the audience
that for an hour had been shaken with
merriment and laughter, listened with
a deep and impressive silence.

For 1902 the order was this:

other interesting statistics on the
subject of suicides in the United States
during the past decade have been gath
cred by Prof. William Bacon Bailey of
Yale University, in connection with mis-
department of statistics and sociology
The number of cases to which reference
has been made is 10000. Prof. Bailey
has classified them as to age, sex, To-
cality and time. The predominant sui
cidal age is shown to have been between
35 and 40 years. More suicides occurred
by married persons than by those not
married. OF the 10000 cases observed,
1871 were males and 2,219 were females.
The observations of Prof Bailey es-
tablished the fact that more married

LAWYERS WRESTLE
WITH THE JUDGESHIP.
Augusta Bar Association Had a Res
OIutiOm offered.

Augusta, March Sat a largely at
tended meeting of the Augusta Bar
Association to-day, resolutions were
introduced by Hon. Joseph B. Cum
ming, declaring it the sense of the
association that stability in the Su-
preme Court is one of the elements
most conducive to its independence,
respectability and usefulness, and that
a Supreme Court judge should be re-
moved as far as possible from prac-
tical politics, and the people should
remember that judges could not make
a canvass for votes. There was a
spirited debate over the resolutions.
all agreeing with the principle involv-
ed, but those friendly to Judge Evans
declaring the action was untimely and
would be construed as taking sides
politically.
The vote came on a motion to post
pone action until the next regular
quarterly meeting, and resulted in
tie, "a yeas and "a nays, but change
of one vote made it 25 yeas, and %
nays, and the action was postponed.
Both sides claim the victory. Cham
pions of the resolution says even those
who opposed action Endorsed the prin-
ciple, and those who favor Judge
Evans think the postponement OF ac-
ton on the resolutions saved his cam
paign from serious slap in the face.
