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. • • * Miss Heath, of Charlotte, N. C., who has been the admired gueaL.of Miss Edith Stetson, is now visi ting Miss Wise and Mis® Kennedy. After Wednesday she will be with the Misses Cobb. * * * Miss Mary Culler White, of Hawkins vile, has returned home after a visit to the Misses Cobb. 'Miss White is a talented artist, and teaches drawing in the Hawk insville schools. - * » The Ladies’ Cotillion Club will give their german at the Commercial Club on the evening of Monday, the 10th, instead of this week as.had been planned. « » * Mr. Richard Lester, a prominent young man, of Savannah, is visiting Mr. Felton Hatcher. » * * The Current Topics Club held one of its ■delightful meetings this morning at the residence of Mrs. McEwen Johnston. The program was arranged by Mrs. T. O. Chestney and Miss E. F. Andrews, and was as follows: North Polar Expedition, G-reely, Mrs. E. J. Willingham. Peary, Mrs. Appleton Collins. Nansen, Mrs. B. C. Smith. Andree, Mrs. Frank Rogers. Brief history of North Polar Expeditions, Mrs. Mallory Taylor. Mrs. Walter Lamar has returned from a visit to Eufaula, Ala., where she wag the guest of Mrs. Eli Shorter. e » ♦ The ladies of St. Paul’s Guild will hold a social at the residence of Mr. (Snowden on College street tomorrow —‘Tuesday night, at which a pleasing program consisting of choice sketches in music and recitations will be presented. All members of the Parish are invited to be present. The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Macon hos pital will hold their regular monthly meet ing tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock at the Public Library. Business of importance will be discussed. Tonight the Cherokee Club dance will be the beginning of the gayeties of social life in Macon for the week and for the year. The dance is given in honor of the visit ing young ladies, and the affair will be of great brilliance. Miss Louise Tood, of Atlanta, will visit Miss Bertha Willingham this week. Miss Todd is one of Atlanta’s loveliest young women, and her visit to Miss Willingham will bring together two of the most at tractive young women in Georgia. « • • Among the many courtesies being shown Mrs. Ellis Talbott while in Atlanta has been a dinner and a card party given by Mrs. William Inman in honor of Mrs. Tal bott and Mrs. Joseph Thompson. Mrs. Bar bour Thompson also complimented Mrs. Talbott and Mrs. Thompson with a lunch eon at the Aragon. 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.

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. CONCERT AT WESLEYAN.

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.

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 ' night accompanied by a person holding one ' paid 30 cent ticket. COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. New Yark, Jan. 1. —P. E.

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 I have painted many metal roofs in Albany, a few of which are: A. W Muse & Co., cotton warthouse, one-half acre; Hall’s warehouse, one-half acre- Cook’s warehouse, one-half acre; Gannaway warehouse, one acre: Georgia Cotton Oil Com pany. two acres; Mayo Hotel, one-half acre, and lots and lots of roofs of from one to fifty squares (100 square feet.) I am indorsed by the best men of Al- , bany, Ga. Albany, Ga., June 5. 1897. We know- Mr. Harvey English to be a citizen of Dougherty county. Georgia, a property holder therein; that he ha- done a large amount of painting in Albany, Ga. We have heard of no complaints about his work.
