EUFAULA CHAUTAUaUA.
Great ThronR Heard Rev. H. M. DuIsOse
 Preach Sermon.

Eufaula, May 27.-(SpeciaI. )--An- other bright and beautiful day dawned this morning and indications are that the Chautauqua proceedings will not be longer marred by rain.
 Last night the auditorium wes again thronged to witness the exercises by the class in caIesthenics and the eve- ming was greatly enjoyed. This morn ing the great tent was throngcd with all of the church denominations who gathered to hear the baccalaureate ser mon which was delivered in Q mosS able and eloquent way by Rev. H. M. DuBose. D. D., general secretary of the Epworth League.
 The song service was especially beautiful and the discourse was rich in conception and was highly inter esting and instructive.
 At 8 p. m.. tonight the large audito- rum of the First Methodist church was inadequate to seat the vast tnrong thar assembled to hear Mendelssohn's ora torio which was most excellentiy rem dered by the Brenau choral union as- sisted by the city's best vocal talent.
 The Chautauqua is pronounced a most decided success up to this time and even larger audiences are expected next week especially should weather conditions prove favorable. Presidents Van Hoose and Pierce are both in the city and are devoting all their time and energy to the programs which have ben excellenty carried out in every de- tail.
 The features for tomorrow and next day will be especially pleasing and Is announced as alumnae day and B.enau day. Lieutenant Governor Cunningham Is booked for an address and every effort will be put forth to have Hon. B. B. Conner meet him in a joint de- bate in discussing tho political issues of the day. Rev. Lem c. Broughton of Atlanta is also put down for a lec- ture Wednesday evening.
 Emancipation day was celebrated by negroes from the city and surrounding sections today in a grand union picnic which was held about seven miles north of the city.
 Circuit court will reconvene here to- morrow when the criminal docket will be taken up. No cascs Of serious tYn- portance are on the books aud the bus mess will be dispatched it is thought in a few days.

greatest defense of the United States from a foreign invasion is the six million school children in the common schools of America.
 National Unity Given.
 sTn this steadfast work the South is giving us national unity tor com mon schools are common faith. conn mon knowledge and common patriots:
 In admitting the beauty and the ad- vantage of liberal convictions. he de- clared that the great things or the world were accomplished by men or intense convictions. "I want to say to you" said Dr. Faunce. that on this commencement morning 1t should be said at every school. at every Uni versity. every fact that Is knowabie is fit for all human beings to know. Every bit of human knowledge that Is fit for one human being is fit for all human beings. There is no sort of knowledge that is fit for the college professor and is not fit for the college student. Gods world is fireproof and there is no danger in striking a match" The speaker portrayed the splendid progress of the world in the nineteenth century.
 Tn that century three of the great discoveries for controlling natural forces had been found. while in all the preceding centuries the remaining one had only been found. Tn this one thing the control of great natural forces, the universities. were render ing great service to humanity.
 Support the University.
 He urged his hearers to support their university for in supporting their uni- versity they were rendering the best support they could give to their State. For the universities were answering that great question which the splen- did material advancement of the world had raised, while we are in a materf- al way so rapidly are we improving our men and our women?"
 That America is growing so rich in material things" said Dr. Faunce in closing, lis proof in itself that she needs the unison of things. She needs the spiritual and a firm faith in God. She needs the faith of Washington, of Lee, of Stonewall Jackson, of The- odore Roosevelt"
 The sermon. rich in thought, beau- tiful in illustration and eloquent in delivery. made deep impression upon the great congregation.
 Dr. Faunce preached at the First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa tonight. He left shortly afterwar< Lake Mohaw in the Adirondacks.N V Governor Jelks and several members of the board of trustees reached the univer- sity this afternoon.

As a matter of fact. one can Say that the Apaches never took scalps.
 with them for thirty years or more claim that no full-blooded Apache ev- CT scalped a man he killed. On the contrary. he would not touch a body sSter death and would throw away his weapons if stained with human blood. 1rhe{r own dead the men never help to bury. This task is left to the wo- men.
