Gilman of Johns Hopkins' university, who has accepted the position of president of the bureau of awards at the Atlanta exposition, in an interview with a reporter at his summer home at Northeast Karbor, said that the work of formulating a system of awards and selecting the jurors for the exposition is about completed.

The vigorous protests by foreign exhibitors against the awards made at previous American expositions has attracted much interest as to the probable results of Dr. Gilman's careful study of this whole question. At Paris, Vienna and other continential expositions the Jury Dr. Gilman explained, uniformly prevailed; that is, for each group of exhibits Jury, acting as a unit, compared the relative merits and bestowed medals and diplomas of very many different grades, according to the degree of excellence manifested. At Chicago, he said, the jury as a body was practically ignored, and individual Jurors had supreme authority in making the awards.

It alone is no key to the best circles of Flatbush society.

"We are not organized to promote the interests of any man. We thought last year and the year before that the method of administering the Democratic party was bad, and I think subsequent events have stamped that opinion as right.

What we proposed two years ago was that the election district should be the unit of organization, because under the ward system men did not know each other sufficiently well and the system for this reason had a tendency to put great power into the hands of one man who might use It for good or for ill at his pleasure. It was to break up one man Dower that we organized. Our existence, if it has done nothing else, has made the old organization healthy. The old organization has initiated us in the adoption of the election district system as the unit of organization. "Some day we will look for a Democratic party locally which will be one in every sense.

We look forward to day to what people are fond of calling harmony, but we shall not be anxious for harmony unless the methods and the systems against which we revolted, and rightly, too, are passed, and until that time we should go on at a certain gait, neither deviating to the right or left of the steadfast course we have marked out for ourselves for future action. I am sure the Democratic part in Kings county will propose no policy not for the interests of the party and the community.

Of late, however, the papers have been in the habit of re ferTlne to him as the ex boss, but he prefers such to that which the late Mr.

Klnsella "prescribed, when he compelled "our honored leader" to sign a most abject letter of withdrawal from leadership and forced him to keep his word, unlll the death of Mr Klnsella. Being Insensible to Jibes, taunts and sneers, it does not hurt his feelings to pose as a discredited, distrusted and deposed leader, because It keeps tho people quiet while he perfects his plans again, to seize them by the throat: beside, he knows that the Democratic general committee Is his personal property and through Its members he can control the action of the Democratic conventions. Last year, cither through cowardice or treachery, he abandoned the conventions to Glendenning and Cumrnlngs but this year a district attorney and some Judges are to be elected, and when the Democratic nominees for these positions are being selected the hand of the so called ex boss will visible to all. except those who won't see. and phatic assertions as Impossible as they were President Oilman also told of a scheme proposed for exceptional awards.

"In addition to awards which are to be distinguished by diplomas of honorable mention and by bronze and silver medals," he said, "it is proposed to recognize by special diplomas and gold medals a considerable number of exhibits which are not only of pre eminent worth themselves, but are also of exceptional importance when considered with reference to the progress of the country. For example. Inventions of far reaching significance, public works of widespread influence, new and noteworthy educational establishments, improvements in the production of staple articles, advances in the art of transportatlbn and contributions to the enjoyment of life, such as parks, museums, etc. These awards will be restricted to actual exhibits which adequately set forth the characteristics or results of the works and process to which attention is directed." For the selection of these ex hibits a board will be constituted which will include the chairmen of the various department juries, and in addition a certain num ber of men who are qualified to survey the industrial and intellectual progress of the country. It is presumed the preparatory work can be done for such a board before it assembles, so that Its responsibility will be to select and pronounce upon exhibits to which attention may be called by the separate, juries or by the authorities of the exposition as candidate for this marked distinction.

The juries will all assemble in Atlanta on September 13, and exhibits not then in place will have no claim for consideration. After a preliminary meeting in a common convention the Juries will at once commence the active examination of exhibits, which will have been grouped for them in advance by a force of clerical assistants. All the awards will be recommended to the central authorities before November 1, in order that they may be made known on 'that day and in order that the exhibitors and the public may alike have the benefits of these opinions during the remaining months of the exhibition. A system thus described has been submitted by Dr. Gilman to the criticism of many public men.

Some time since, in southwest Georgia, a murder case was being tried before a certain judge. The state's attorneys had seen the shooting, and they had an old negro on the witness stand. The negro became intensely Interested in the story he was telling. His big eyes were fixed upon the lawyer who was questioning him, and he seemed to think there was no other person In the room.

He was trembling with excitement, so much so that he stammered, and he told his story as if he was having a strictly private and confidential conversation with the state's attorney. "An' den, boss," he said, in solemn and awe struck tones, Jes' ez I war a comln' roun' de cornah, sah, I see him 'long o' de lamp posp. I "What time was his?" asked the Judge.

It was so large that three railroad cars were required to carry it, and when the railroad company's officials learned the history of the tree they refused to charge for its transportation.
