Astronomers say that Peary's state
ment that he saw the moon the day he
discovered the Pole is entirely enron
eous. They insist that the position OF
the moon was such that it was impos-
sible for it to be seen at the Pole
Peary is getting a taste now of being
pulled to pieces, and this time by men
who know what they are talking
about. He will probably soon be so
busily engaged defending his own
story that he will be glad to let DR.

Taft's reception in the West doesn t
measure up anywhere near that ac-
corded Roosevelt 1t is evident that
the disappointment over the tariff leg
islation is keen in that section and
that while given a cordial reception
there is no spontaneous enthusiasm in
many places the President is passing
through. This does not bode well for
his party in the congressional election
next year.

Dean Richardson, of the Brooklyn
Law School, says that profession is
crowded, not with really able lawyers,
but with the mediocre class. The
only trouble seems to bethat it is dit
ficult to convince the average young
lawyer that he is in the latter class.
Every one Of them in fancy sees him
self the future leader of the bar. And
yet the world speedily discovers that
the farm and not the bar was their
proper field of labor. In many small
Southern towns the number of lawyers
is ridiculously large and out of all
proportions to the business offering.

Mercer has over 800 students in at
tendance this year. The University
has over 500, Emory comes up with a
large increase, and the other institu-
lions of higher learning throughout the
state likewise show that the desire OF
the young men to avail themselves OF
such opportunities is not abating. AS
the state become more prosperous
these-instftutions must expand their
facilities. Bright days are ahead for
education in Georgia, in all it's branch
es. There is no necessity for any boy
or girl to leave the state to get all the
education they can absorb.

BURNING THE DEAD
Is ON THE INCREASE

Chicago, Sept 23-There were 70,
the year 1900, 2,419 incinerations il
the United States, as against LA
for the period 1850 In 1905 near
ly 1000 took place. In 1908 the num-
Der had greatly increased. The adj
vance of cremation seems slow enough
when compared with the total number
of interments. But the steadiness oil
the increase is gratifying to all those
who appreciate what it will mean in
a sanitary way to the great cities
Long before 1000 it will be absolute
ly imperative, at the present rate OF
burials, to compel it in majority OF
cases.

More outbreaks aimed at the Jews
are reported in Russia. Hundreds of
thousands of these unfortunate people
have left Russia since the riots some
years ago, and made their homes in
this country, but there are still said TO
be more Jews in Russia than in all
Europe outside of that country. In the
United States the Russian Jew speed
lily develops into clean, law abiding,

The Rural New Yorker says: Yes
sir, you keep on putting clover, vetch
or COW peas into a sand bank, and in
time you make it a savings bank" In
other words an apparently worthless
piece of land, that can be bought for a
song, treated to a liberal dose of cow
peas for two or three seasons, will do
wonders thereafter in productiveness
There is no savings bank on earth
that will ever pay the rate of interest

Mrs. AppletOn's Ailment.
(Atchison Globe.)

(Atchison Globe.)
Mrs. Lysander John Appleton, who
went to Chicago for a rest, returned
last night nj such a weakened condi-
ton she had to be carried from the
train. The family regrets that it can't
talk seven syllables in describing her
complaint, but truth compels them to
admit that her illness is due to run
ming her legs off chasing the fire de-
partment. In a town of this size
every one runs to the fires, and she
couldn't get over the habit. When
lunching the mayor of Chicago, or a
guest of honor of the Lake Shore
Exclusive club, or wherever the alarm
found her, she kicked over her chair,
gathered up her skirts above her
knees and ran. In several instances
she beat the fire engine to it.

sands of old confederate veterans and

places out Of doors on account of =
lack of facilities for accommodatlns
the unusually large crowd, but these
proved the most fortunate of all in at
tendance for the parks were decidedly
more comfortable than the highest
priced hotels.
Some of the scenes are pathetic and
bring tears to the eyes of those who
hold the southland dear and who re-
alize that these are the men who
fought for southern rights over four
decades ago.
One old veteran from Georgia, who
had never been on pullman car be-
berth. He said he thought the window
last night when he undressed in his
berth. He said he thought tn ewindow
opened into another room. His pants
contained $65, all that he had but kind
hearted friends soon made up enough
to take care of him. In spite of the
negro porter's protests a dozen or
more towels were taken out of the car
hnd pinned around the old fellows
legs and he made his way in this garb
to his company's headquarters where
he was given a fine old pair of gray
pantaloons.
One old darkey, probably a cook or
wagon driver in the confederate army
came up to Memphis from Mississippi,
where he said there had been a "tur.
bic drouth" in spite of the heavy rains.
He proceeded to moisten his parched
throat until he didn't know whether
the war was over or not. He spent
all his money for badges and gaily
decorated his entire body with them
Several hours later he was found lying
in the street crying, without a cent
Funds were given him and transporta

ter quarrel involving Judge Lawlor

gagged in the bribery trial Of Patrick
Calhoun. President Of the United RAN
roads yesterday eniivened a session
otherwise devoted to routine testi-
mony.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
started the dispute by charging that
Earle Rogers, an attorney for the de-
fense, had been smiling at members
of the jury. There was an angry re-
sponse from John J. Barrett, of the de-
Tense, who declared the prosecution
had unnecessarily prolonged the trial
by introducing trivial matters.
The subject was about to be dis
missed when Mr.. Barrett added:
q do not think we should be lee
tured by the district attorney into a
state of seriousness regarding this
case.
The prosecution has spent weeks
in presentation of matter ridiculous
trivial and ludicrous, attempting by
the length of time devoted to theil
presentation to make the jury thinl
them worthy of consideration.
Fbr these remarks Barrett wa
stetnly reprimanded by Judge Lawlo1
who told the attorney that if he mad
smother such reference he would san
