Mr. Smith of the committee on naviga

ONLY FOUR
Arrests Were Made bv the
Police Since Last Friday
Night
Only four arre'sts have been made by the
poli.-e since l ist Friday night.
Noi'hin.g could speak more eloquently for
(he excerl nt moral condition of Macon,
the vigil.i. ■<’ es the police and the respect
in which the police are held nor could
anything better tell the story of New Year
le.-olutiers than this.
From Friday night to Monday morning
at an 01 ‘.nary time the recorder would
be remarkable but w-'ien the period in
cludes Ncx Year’s day and Saturday, the
thing becomes really remarkable, for while
a New Y. ,'s there are some who swear
off and abjure red liquor and all forms of
akehol in which taste or smell, there are
others who celebrate.
A N - Year s celebration is a privileged
jng too. but pci-bap.? this accounts in some
measure for the record of the last few
days.

ANNUALELECTION
Os County Officers Will be
Held Tomorrow by the
County Commissioners.
The county commissioners will hold the
annual election of officers tomorrow.
The regular monthly meeting of the
commissioners will go into session tomor
morning at 9 o'clock and will transact the
regular routine business, but the matters
of interest are the election of officers and
the awarding of the contract for the new
addition to the jail.
The addition to the jail is for the pur
lio.se of providing for the lunati.'s who are
confined there pending their removal to
the asylum. Bids will be opened at the
meeting tomorrow.
The new addition has been badly needed
for some time and the county commission
ers have done a wise thing in providing
for it.
At the election of officers it is not at all
probable that there will be any changes
in the present officers.
No opposition of any moment has devel
oped. Superintendant Calloway at the
Ross Home, is assured of re-election, as is
also Mr. Stewart Davis, who has been a
most efficient clerk of the board and has
given general satisfaction to everyone.
There will not be any changes in the
positions of chaingang superintendant,
bridge keeper or janitor, which are the
other places to be filled.
Outside of these no matters of import
ance are on the slate for tomorrow, so far
as is known.

Campaign is Being Carried
on and Meeting Was Held
Last Night
H SOUTH MACON CHURCH.
Baptists All Over the State are Well
Pleased—The Treasurey of
College is to be Recruited,
The educational crusade, mention of
which was made in The News sometime
ago, in the interest of Mercer University
is now being carried on in earnest.
During the month of December collec
tions were taken up in all of the Baptist
churches in the state for the benefit of
tihe university, and now- the ministers of
Macon will aisist President Pollock to
pu-.h the good work forward.
Last night at the South Macon Baptist
church, President P. D. Pollock and Rev.
M. B. Carroll addressed a good sized crowd
in rhe interest of the university. The
subject of Mr. Carroll’s discourse was:
‘What is Your Interest in Common Se-hool
Education?” Dr. Pollock’s subject was:
‘‘What is Your Interest in Mercer Uni
versity?"
From now on meetings of this nature
will be held in all of -the churches of the
city, and the Baptist of the citj; will be
asked to help Mercer on to the front rank
like it has started.
The marked movement in Mercer in the
past year has greatly pleased the Baptists
ail over the state, and ‘they -are manifest
ing more interest in the institution. Pro
fessor Pollock has done a wonderful work
for the school, and is constantly laboring
to advance it in the educational world.
The university has been considerably
handicapped for the lack of funds, but now
the Baptist denomination is supporting -it
better, and its growth from now on will
be as marked as it has in the past twelve
months.’
During the spring term it is expected
■than the attendance -will he largely in
creased. The capacity of the college was
taxed •during the fall session, but the
■ acuity say that they will accommodate
all that will come.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3 1898.
What is Going
On in Society.
In yesterday’s Atlanta Constitution there
is a picture of Mrs. \ aleria Lamar Mc-
Laren, of Macon, and Miss Isma Dooly
writes thus of Mrs. McLaren's literary
work •
‘‘Though Southern women until lately
have not themselves with those
movements of jyrogross embraced by the
fin de siecle tyjse,:-4fi*iit.erature. Southern
women have always-been distinctly prom
inent,, while in the comparatively new
field of “women in journalism,” the South
ern woman has left her native home and
has well filled positions on the great me
tropolitan dailies.
It is rather unusual, however, t« find
her making practical use of even her lit
erary talents, unless the realization of
self reliance comes as the stimulus to her
genius, and she is thrust into the world of
the wage-earning women.
It is remarkable even in this very pro
gressive day and hour to find the woman
ot literary talent who, blessed with for
tune and an established social position,
turns her back upon her duties in the so
cial world, and determines not only to de
velop her talent, but to make use of it.
An example of this is given in the an
nouncement that Mrs. Valeria Lamar Mc-
Laren, of Macon, has written and publish
ed a book, to apear next week, and that
she has for the past few months been en
gaged in liteary work in New Y’ork. At
the death of her father, the late Henry J.
of Macon, last January, Mrs. Mc-
Laren inherited a large fortune. Her
health requiring an immediate change af
ter a year’s seclusion in nursing her fath
er, she- accepted the advice of her friends
and went abroad. While there she was
encouraged to develop a talent she had for
a long time felt she possessed, and merely
as a trial, she began the writing of the
novel to appear next week. En route home
she was further encouraged in her work
by the acquaintance she made of a well
known New York publisher, who not only
favorably criticised her manuscript, but
urged its publication. On her return to
New York she determined to remain there,
where she had a number of friends in lit
erary and social circles. Since that time
she has continued in .her literary -pursuits,
meeting not alone in her first efforts with
favorable criticisms, but financial success.
She has contribued short stories in the
nature of “Sketches From Southern Life,”
to several northern metropofita-n publica
tions, and in very limited time and for
limited space, she has written (or today’s
edition of the Constitution, a little sketch.”
Mrs. MeLaren has also written a book of
her travels, in which she has used the in
teresting letters sent by her from Europe
to the Macon News during her stay abroad
last summer.

THE BOUDOIR OF THE CZARINA.
The boudoir of the Czarina at Czarskoye
Selo, is said to be a spacious apartment,
very light and very sparsely curtained.
Masses of tropical verdure divide tihe room
into several cosy apartments and give it
a very picturesque appearance. The dado
of the wall is formed almost entirely of
photegnaphs. An easel in one of the win
dow recesses and a grand piano in another
testify to the Czarina’s artistic tastes;
several water colors hang on the -walls
and she is in the habit of singing to the
Czar the folk-songs of Ibis own country.
,COLOGNE IN THE COOKERY.
It is no secret that the French culinary
expert employs eau de cologne to produce
with other essences Ithat subtle, mysteri
ous, but delicious flavor often tasted in
fruit salads and other cookery confections.
In the genuine cologne there is compress
ed extract of rosemary and lemon thyme.
Here is a real French dessert: Put in a
salad bowl a layer of Chopped ice, well
powdered with sugar, and upon this a
layer of bananas; again a 'handful of chop
ped ice and sugar, and after this bananas,
repeating till the bowl is -as full as re
quired. Pour upon the fruit a wine glass
of white wine and one of water, in which
you have -dipped a lump of sugar that has
absorbed three drops of almond essence,
and another that has absorbed three drops
of genuine eeu de cologne.

HENRY GEORGE
Held Up on the Columbus
Road on Saturday
Night.
ROBBED OF HIS HATCH
By Two Negroes and Made to Stand
While They Searched His Pock
ets and Clothing.
Henry George, e young white man. was
held up on Saturday night on the Colum
bus road and relieved of his watch, which
happened to be the only valuable which he
had upon his person.
George was on bis way home and was
j walking behind his wagon, when at a point
about a mile from the city limits two ne
groes jumped from the fence corner and
with pointed pistols, called for hands up.
George was completely taken by sur
prise. He had, however, the knowledge
that he who stole his purse stole trash, and
the circumstances under which he yielded
took nothing away from his good name.
So the robbers took the watch, an heir
loom but a valuable timepiece.
He says that he could not recognize
either of the men, who were muffled to the
eyes.
This is the only case reported from on
Saturday, but it is probable that the ne
groes will be caught if they try it again.
George feels keenly the indignity, how
ever, and vows vengeance against the ne
groes, who not only took his watch but
held him up at their pistols’ point while
they searched his pockets and bis clothing
for further valuables.
It will not be healthy for any negro who
owns up to any knowledge or complicity in
this affair while George is around.

DR. BROUGHTON.
Has Accepted a Call From the
Third Baptist Church of
Atlanta.
Dr. L. C. Broughton, who recently as
sisted Dr. White, o* the First Baptist
church, in a series of services in this city,
has accepted a call from the Third Baptist
church of Atlanta, and will be installed as
pastor of that church the first Sunday in
March.
This will be a matter of great interest
•Macon Baptists, nearly all of whom know
and admire the brillinat preacher. To
days Atlanta Constitution says:
“A telegram from Dr. Broughton was
received yesterday’ by 'the secretary of the
Third Baptist congregation and it was
read out in nearly all the Baptist churches
in the city yesterday afternoon and even
ing. The telegram was a formal accep
tance of the call which was made several
weeks ago.
Dr. Broughton is a young men, not more
than thirty-five years old. He is a native
of North Carolina. He graduated at the
Wake Forrest College in his native state,
and afterwards took a course of medicine
at the Louisville Medical College, it being
his intention to follow the calling of a
practicing physician. He soon abandoned
that calling, however, and was ordained a
minister in the Baptist church. His first
charge was the pastorate of the Winston,
N. C., Baptist church; his second the
Reidsville, N. C., Baptist church, and his
third the Calvary Baptist church, of Roan
oke, Va., w’hich church he is now pastor of.
He is married and has one child.
The Third Baptist church of Atlanta, of
which Dr. Broughton will be pastor, is on
Jones avenue, and has a membership of
over 600. Among the members are some of
the best and most prominent people in the
city.
Last July Dr. J. D. Winchester resigned
the pastorate of the Third Baptist and the
congregation began to look about for his
successor. The committee appointed to
make a selection decided upon Dr.
Broughton, and their choice was unani
mously endorsed by the congregation. The
call was formally made. Dr. Broughton
asked for time to consider it, and bis reply
came yesterday in the form of an accep
tance.
Dr. Broughton accepted the call from the
Third Baptist at a salary of $2,000 when he
had been offered a better salary with a
home at other places.

~PRINCE RUDOLPH.
Otis Skinner at the Academy
of Music Tomorrow
Night.
Those who have read Robert Louis Ste
| venson’s interesting story, “Prince Otto,”
should they be at the Academy Tuesday
night when Otis Skinner presents Ms new
romantic play, “Prince Rudolph,” w'ill
readily recognize where the author found
his theme for the play, yet despite the fact
that the theme was taken from the story
the play is almost entirely original.
“Prince Otto” had absolutely no use for
the affairs of state. The cares of his prin
cipality were lirksome to him; also, after
discovering the charms of his wife, he
lacked the courage to tell her of his love.
Boil W M
Ik
Otto had few qualities which men care
to see in men. Rudolph, on the contrary,
is a character who wall appeal to the men
as much as to the women. He finds that
he is-in love with his wife; he tells her
so, and tries to win her affection. He finds
there are plots afoot and that the prime
minister of the principality is using the
princess only 'as a cat’s paw to further his
own ends; he takes 'control of the affairs
of state. That he is arrested and abducted
upon a warrant signed iby his wife is
practically the only point o’ absolute sim
ilarity in the story of “Prince Otto” which
is found in the romantic comedy, “Prince
Rudolph.”
The scheming prime minister is in the
play, likewise .his mistress, the generous
hearted countess; the old chancellor is
there, but with a young and beautiful
wife; and .also those who have read the
story will find the cynical English noble
man, who is traveling about the various
courts of Europe recording his opinions
of the courts which he visits.
Mr. Skinner will make a handsome pro
duction of the play and it is believed that
in this romantic comedy he has found a
vehicle not only worthy of his efforts, but
one which Wil also please the public who
patronize the theatre.
MR. JAMES O’NEILL.
The management of the Academy urges
the public of this city to book their seats
early for the appearance of James O’Neill
in “The Dead Heart” as there is almost a
positive assurance that the house will be
sold out owing to the number of advance
orders. The version and the whole pro
duction of “The Dead Heart” ■which Mr.
O’Neil! will give us Is an exact copy of
Henry Irving’s presentation at the Lon
don Lyceum. The chief pant of Robert
Landry, a young sculptor, who after a
death on the guillotine, is a role to which
Mr. O’NeiH is especially suited owing to
the prominence of Ms sympathetic nature
and power. Complete scenic equipment is
carried by the organization and a company
of merit has -been engaged to support Mr.
O’Neill who will appear here at the Acad
emy of Music.
ALL NEW COMEDIES.
In the repertoire of the Woodward-War
ren Company, who will begin a three
nights’ engagement at the Academy of
Music next M ednesday night, are a num
ber of new comedies which have never
been presented anywhere at popular prices
until this season. Among the plays that
will be presented is “a Practical ’ Joke,”
“Too Much Smith,” “Mr. King From
Klondike,” “The Sea Waif,” and Roland
Reed’s splendid comedy. “Cheek.” The I
prices for this engagement are only 10, 20
and 30 cents. Ladies free on the opening '

I Want to Faint
I want to paint your metal roof with “English Paint. Stops leaks- yes it do ”
If you will extend to me the courtesy of reading this "ad.” I will, I believe con
vince you that 1 am the man you want to paint your roof.
I want you to feel, as do the bright, brainy business men of Albany Thomas
ville and other cities v. here 1 have worked, i. e.. when Harvey English paints their
roof with "English Paint Steps Leaks; Yes It dt>” they are getting the very best ser
vice, and paint, that money will buy and ata very resonable price.
I do but one kind of work—paint metal roofs—and I do it better than any one else.
This sounds egotistical, and it is. but it’s the truth. In every calling in life there
is some one who is universally recognized as head and shoulders above his fellows.
In every instance it is the one who loves his calling, who has has large experience,
and who has brain capacity to profit by such experience. In roof painting, I am
that man. 1 prepare my own paint, and know exactly what is in it. I
It will stop halts, prevent rust, kill acids, protect surfaces.
It won’t crack, blister, tun. peel nor scale off.
It is water proof, spark proof, rust proof, elastic. The color is a chining glossy
black, resembling enamel. It wears longer and gives better protection than the red
mineral paint in common use.
Only one white man and no niggers at all that knows how to make “English
Paint Stops Leaks; Yes It Do." 1 do most of the work myself, and know that it is
well done. I know how to do the right thing at the right time, and Ido it
