GEORGIA is MORAL,
A Kansas Gentleman Who
Has Investigated Or
Behavior.

Valdosta, Ca, Jan. 16.-Mr. J.
p. Henderson, who came to this
city eighteen months ago from
Kansas, and who expected to find
rather rough set of people in
Georgia, says that he is delight
ed with his change. He is a
minister of the gospel and has
paid much attention to moral
conditions in Georgia and in his
former state. He says that he
has not heard an oath since he
reached Georgia. He has seen
few men whom he thought were
drinking and even these were
quiet and well behaved. He
says that coming to the South
has opened his eyes and he is
constantly writing back to tell
his old neighbors what an ideal
country and what excellent
people he is now living among.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

in shooting through the door of John
Caslini's S house, tried to commit suicide
Tuesday in his cell during the inter-

that he did it to make it believed that
he was insane, He used the piece of

although the cut was hardly skin
deep and DR.. j. E. McSweeney was
called
Seven witnesses were heard for the

WHOLE REGIMEN1 TO GO.

The entire regiment, First Vermont
National Guard, will go to Manassas,
! Virgiria, in September to participate
in joint maneuvers oy the militia of
the Eastern States, with portion of
the regular army. Such is the result
of the negotiations between Adjutant
General Corbin in Washington and
Adjutant General Gilmore of Ver-
mont. This State was originally invit.
ed to send 200 officers and men but as
that would necessitate splitting the
regiment, if not even taking fractions
of companies, the proposition was not
satisfactory. General Gilmore commu-
nicated with General Corbin in the
matter and as a result Tuesday evening
telegram was received from Wash
ington inviting the entire regiment to
attend the grand muster in Virginia.
General Gilmore has telegraphed the
invitation to Colonel j. H. Estey,
commanding the regiment, and there
is no doubt that the invitation will
be promptly accepted.
The terms of the invitation are such
that the United States government
will pay all the expenses of transport
alton to and from Virginia, and of
maintenance during the time, and the
troops will all draw the pay of officers
and men in the regular army. The
muster will be fifteen days in length,
counting from the time the regiment
leaves Vermont up to the time it re-
turns. 1t is expected the start for the
south will be made September 4, SO
as to be in Manassas on September 5.
In all probability the regular annual
muster OF the Vermont regiment will
be omitted and this trip will take its
place. This will be a considerable
saving to the State and loss to the
members of the militia, as the pay
in the regular army for privates and
non-commlssioned officers is less than
the pay of the militia. 1t is probable
that the State would use portion Of
its appropriation for the militia to
make up the difference in pay to the
men were it not for a clause in the
State militia act which prevents the
State paying for service outside of
Vermont. 1t is very probable, how
ever, that few in the regiment will
object to going to Manassas even at
the reduced pay as the experience will
be of great value from a military
standpoint. 1t is expected that $4,000
or 30. 900 troops will be nobilized at
Manassas.

ST1NLEY'S DEATH.
Famous African Explorer Passed
Away in London.

London, May 11.-Sir Henry M.
Stanley, the African explorer, whose
death was announced early yesterday
morning, passed away peacefully,
shortly after O'Clock. He was quite
conscious to the last and able to rec
ognize his wife. Before he died,
Sir Henry expressed the wish that he
be buried at his country seat, Furze
hill, Pirbright. Surrey. The ques-
tion, however, is being discussed of
burying him beside David Living.
stone, in Westminster Abbey.
Mr.. Stanley was born near Den
bigh, in Wales, on January 28, 184l.
He was new spaper correspondent and
great African explorer. After doing
work for the New York Herald in
various countries he was finally sent
by the conductor of the Herald to find
Doctor Livingstone Of whom nothing
had been heard for more than two
years. Stanley sailed froiI Bombay
in October, 1870, and reached Zanzi-
bar. on the coast OF Africa, early in
January, 1871. and on November 10,
found Livingstone at Ujji, on Lake
Tapganyika, where be had just ar.
rived from the southwest. Stanley
furnished him with supplies, explored
the northern part of Lake Tanganyika
with HIM, and remained until Febru-
ary, 1879, when Livingstone started on
the journey from which he never
returned and Stanley made his way
back to Europe, reaching England in
July, 1879. He later went to Africa
on an exploring expedition and took
in the northwest section, reaching
Lake Victoria Nyanzs and found it to
be the largest body of fresh water on
the globe. Later in 879-82 he visited
Africa again. His last trip was made
ON January, 1887, when he suocored
e min Pacha. governor of Equatorial
Africa. whose condition had become
precarious, and brought him and his
followers safely back to Egypt He
was noted all over the world as a
lecturer

GENERAL CONFER ENCy.

Los Angeles, Gal May 1O-The
attitude of the Roman Catholic church
toward the public school system of the
United States furnished the subject of
an exciting debate at yesterdays ses-
sion of the Methodist Episcopal Cen
eral Conference. While there was a
strong disposition on the part of GER
tain delegates to have the conference
adopt resolutions committing it to de-
cided utterances on the subject, an
overwhelming sentiment developed
against such action and the question
was finally referred to committee
from which it is unlikely ever to be
reported
Charles B. Lore, chief justice of the
Delaware Supreme Court, lay delegate,
after agreeing with DR.. King. who
presented the resolution, regarding
the public schools, said:
But are we to gain any thing by
any phase of denunciation against any
other Christian body? The Roman
Catholic church has done a maenifi-
cent work in this country. 1t has
taken hold of class Of people that
perhaps no other form of religion
could have nodded SO well for the
well-being of our common land. 1
feel like putting my hands under every
evangelizing agency in this world
that helps to uplift men and not pull
them down.
This expression was received with
applause by the delegates and the gal
leries. A motion to refer the resolu-
tion to the committee on the state of
the church was carried.
1t has been learned that the sub.
committee on the effectiveness of bish-
ops has reported in favor of the retire
ment of at least four OF the present
bishops. These will be, it is said
by prominent leader in the church
councils, Bishop Andrews, aged 70;
Mallalieu, 70, and Walden and Vim
cent, 70 If this forecast is correct,
at least seven new bishops will be
elected by the present general confer
ence.

ONLY PARTIAL SUCCESSES.
Russian View Of Capture Of Lone Tree
Hill ard Shakhe.

Hill ard Shakhe.
y St. Petersburg, Oct. 20.--The flush
of enthusiasm over the capture of Lone
Tree hill and Shakhe, the repulse of
the attacks of the Japanese left ana
the hard drubbing given General va
mazda, with the capture of fourteen ad-
ditional guns, has given way to q
calmer and more sober appraisement
Of these partial successes. ...
Field Marshal Oyama evidently con-
siders that Lone Tree hill, from which
Kuropatkin could pivot turning
movement against his left, to be of
vital Importance, as both Monday and
Tuesday nights, the latter during a
terrific storm, made desperate efforts
to recapture it, accompanying the as
saults with demonstrative attacks
against other points. But all the ef-
forts failed. h.
Pitiful pictures are painted by war
correspondents of the shelterless SOL
diers bivouacked in the cold rain, the
roads converted into quagmires and
the streams flooded. ~. -
The military critics are not yet sat
isfied that Oyama is ready to relin-
quish the offensive, expressing the
opinion that he may still try to break
through the Russian center in order
to compel KurOpatkin to retire from
the line Of the Hun river, unless, as
they believe. he has become convinced
that the superiority Of the Russian
numbers and reserves makes his with
drawal to the line OF the Taitss river
advisable. B -....2
