Students Have Returned to Both the Colleges and Work in Earnest COMMENCED FDR TERM, The Principals of Both Instutions are Very Hopeful and Say That They Look for a Prosperous Year. This morning t ,-hcol life was begun again at Wetkyan Female College. Near ly all of the .-;«<!< i who will attend this ,oti have r< irti',l. and the building is w<4l filkd. President Hammond said that the out look for W. sh van brightens every day, and that with the commencement of this .. Sion he :•<<.- additional reason for hope that the college w 11 si. ;.<lily grow in pros -1>( rity and the favor of the people. Sin .• Mo: lay morning the students h i,, b > n einrnitig from their homes winT- tin y v. tn. to spend the holidays, and ye. ierday afternoon the last detach i, n arriv'd. though tome few more are < ;<'t<d today and tomorrow. , w... .no special feature to the opening. students went back to their v.ork as though they had had no vacation, liver. ; n», i.-i running as smoothly as it did before the holidays. Pi. d. ■ ■ Hammond spoke very encour ag< Ingly 'ins morning when speaking of the pric,peels of th, college. “The finances of the college are better th'ii th, v have been for some time.” he laid, ”.bth, fact that the year just pm, d has been one of the hardest the college has ever experienced.” “Considerable has been said about pa rents sending their children from Macon and other parts of the state to schools <1 .'where to have th, in educated. Os. com - ■ the only way for us to stop this is to place Wesleyan at the head of the list as a desirable place for the training of the youn> women of the land in every branch of uo full,. At present everything is Working a smoothly as could be, and I have no i, ason to doubt that next year the a; t< n Juno 1 it Wesleyan will be remarka bly increased.” All of the students at the college, with the exception of some few, have been re e. ntly v.tccii. iltd. Many of them hadal ready been treated. The !..xt commencement at 'Wesleyan will lie some different from those that have been at, nd, d in former years. Dr. Hammond's vigorous ideas of reform have been evinced in every branch of the school, and the long, tiresome commencement ex ercises will be done away with to some ex tent. The broad id. i upon which the college has been conducted for the past year has rapidly won the commendation of the pu pils and patron'-. The students are no longer treated as prisoners, so that when they come out into the world they are at a lo r, to know what to do unless a teacher is a with them to tell them the way. There Is more conscientious work, and a better feeling between teacher and pupil. No one doubts that Wesleyan has enter ed upon a glorious era of prosperity and progress. MERiCHR OPENS. Mercer University opened for the spring term this morning with the largest at tendance that has characterized any open ing of the college since it was established. The large ittendance so soon after the holidays is considered remarkable. Every cottage on the campus was occu pied before holidays, and it was a hard matter to get boarding places near the college, it is still harder now, and some of the pupils are living a good way from the college. Professor Pollock says that he feels very highly cncouagcd at the prospects that lie before the college. lie says that the spirit towards the university all over the state where he has been is much kindlier and the people feel more generous towards it. The crusade inaugurated in the Baptist churches in the city and state has done much to helti the college along, and great results are expected to accrue from this source yet. Personals of the Day W.

The Exterior of the Building Will be Very Handsome and the Interior Arrangements are Perfect, The plans for the proposed new hotel for Ma con were brought to Macon a few days ago by Architect Denny, who has had the matter in hand. Those who have seen 'the plans are de lighted with them. They present the most perfect plan for a comotnation of stores and hole-1 that has ever been erected in Georgia. I'ae cost of the new hotel under these plans would be about sl7ti,ooo but by close figuring and composition may he brought down to 5160,000. There are those who look upon the idea of a new hotel in Macon on tne scale out lined by these plans as somewhat chimer ical, but on the other hand there are ocher practical business men and men with plenty of capital who look upon it as per fectly feasible. The plans have attracted ’considerable amount of attention though they have only been seen by a few people. The outside appearance of the hotel will equal any building of the kind erected in Georgia in accordance with its size and the 'interior, office and store arrangements are very perfect. The hotel scheme will be pushed forward rapidly as scon as the matter can be taken up on a basis of business. A number o* good people are interested. They say that 'Macon needs the hotel and that its erection will mean much to the city. The last place selected for the building provided the proper arrangements oan be made Is the Jaques & Tinsley building on the corner of Cherry and Fourth streets. Sporting News Os the Day.

Be fore the meeting adjourned the delegates were instructed. The New York delega tion will urge the passage of an amend ment to the constitution of the league, al lowing state divisions to establish cadet corps, to which bicyclists between the ages of 12 and 18, children or wards of senior members of the league, would be eligible. Two-thirds of the delegates of the country are said to be opposed to the six-day races and an amendment is to be introduced pro hibiting them. Baseball managers of Michigan, Wis consin Illinois, Chicago and Northwestern Universities met in Chicago Monday to arrange for a championship series of games next spring. It resulted in the organiza tion of a Western inter-collegiate baseball league. * Jockey Joe Hill has almost entirely re covered from the bad fall he received at Latonia last fall. He is now at the Cres cent City track and will be seen in the pig skin before the meeting is over. “It is bad enough for a bookmaker to rob the public,” said a horseman at Frisco recently, “but when a sneak thief can help himself to $2,600 in greenbacks from a booky’s box he is all right. Joe Rose was touched for that amount out West recently. Ashley Lloyd will send autograph let ters of New Y'ear’s greeting to all the members of the red-legged family. It will not be long before Elmer -miih will have company. Not for years has there been a winter fraught with more live interest to base ball enthusiasts than the present one. All old records for deals have been broken. The St. Louis and Chicago managerial questions are still open ones and the dia mond situations in those cities have been subjects for fruitful debate. Not until the training days of the Reds end at the Alamo City will the playing make-up of the Cin cinnati team be officially outlined. Possi bly such a conclusion will not be reached until the series of April exhibitions is over. With the coming of January the managers will lose little time in getting down to work, but there are only a few who have not decided upon their spring plans. JABS AND COUNTERS.

We have ail heard that “bargain seeker” was feminine, but any impartial observer who is out early enough will notice that the shop windows have great attractions for the men on their way to the office and counting house. Just mark a window “Everything in this window goes for sl, ’ and the men are so attentive to its attrac tions, that very fe wwomen could get near enough to ste anything inside, but must content themselves witn reading th§ pla card from a distance. One comfort, how ever, is that when the men Have made their selections it is safe to say that me most desirable of the $1 articles are stilt left in the windows. Women don’t love bargains any better than men—well, of course not —and that sentence needs eluci dating. What I meant to say is that men and women have the same fascinated lik ing for bargains and the real difference is that, as a rule, the woman gets the worth of her money, and an article either of beauty or of utility, and the ma ngets less than his money’s worth and at the same time provides himself with something that neither he nor anybody else has any use for. You see it is all iu judgment, and few men are gifted as shoppers. On every counter that you see marked “This lot to go at 50 cents,” etc. there is sure to be something worth really more than 50 cents, and in nine cases out of ten, I think a woman will get that article and a man will take just what “comes to hand.” Some women have a genius for buying the best things just at the time when they can do so to the most advantage, and one se cret of this is to watch the newspaper ad vertisements and be in time to make se lections of the things offered. Then you have time to collect your thoughts and to arrange your shopping list, knowing just where to go and what you will find there. This plan is infinitely more satisfactory to the merchants too, for it must be some what exasperating to wait while a woman looks around to see what line of goods the store- carries, when if she had read the ad vertisements she would at least have a general idea of things purchasable and where to find them. The History 'Club met yesterday after noon at the residence of Mrs. Mallory Taylor, with the following ladies present: Mrs. Campbell T. King, Mrs. Robert Mum ford, Mrs. I. B. English, Mrs. J. H. Wil cox, Mrs. Tichenor, Mrs. W. C. Turpin, Mrs. T. O. Chestney, Mrs. Wingfied Nisbet, Miss Ruth (Allen, 'Miss Kate Ayres, Mrs. F. F .Reese, Miss Ruan, Mrs. Walter D. La mar and Miss Patterson. After the usual asking and answering of questions, of which part of the program Mrs. Mumford Wad charge, a fine paper was read by Mrs. Walter Lamar. Her subject was “Why Did Germany Become an Elective Mon archy and France a Hereditary One, and What was the effect on the two Nations?” The paper was both entertaining ana in structive and was a treat to those who heard it. Hereafter the meetings of the club will take place on Saturday afternoons, instead of Monday, in order not to conflict with other engagements of the members. The next meeting takes place Saturday after noon, the 15th. * * * Miss Mildred Cabaniss will reach Ma con this week to be the guest of Miss Ber tha Willingham.

Americus, Jan. 4. —The Georgia and Ala bama railway yesterday made a clean sweep in the removal of its offices and heads of departments from Americus to Savannah. When the main offices were re moved recently the officials allowed the departments of trainmaster and chief en gineer to remain here, but today an order was given for their removal also. This takes away everything except the shops, which remain by virtue of $25,000 paid by the citizens of Americus for their loca tion here. Citizens are making a stubborn fight in the courts over the removal of the general offices in violation of the com pany’s charter. Telephone. No. 343, The Bradstreet Compan . Na. 47. Mi’’V. S.

Certficates of Stock Go Back to the Central Railroad Ownership OH ACCOUNT OF DEAL Which Transfers the Lease of the Georgia Railroad the Louis ville and Nashville. Railroad officials here have heard noth ing as yet about the transfer of the Cen tal’s lease on the Georgia Railroad to the Louisville and Nashville. The first move is looked forward to with interest if not with anxiety. Just what will be done no one knows, though, as The News stated some days ago, the probabili ty is that offices will be established here by the Louisville, and Nashville. This is, however, so far purely a matter of guess work, for the new owners of the lease have not intimated to anyone what policy they intend to pursue. The terms of the transfer of the lease have not yet been made public, but it is intimated in railroad circles that the transfer would never have been made if there had not been some agreement on the subject of rates. A fight between the .two roads would -be a matter of great interest to the Macon people and the public generally. Just what would be the course to be pursued has not tieen planned out by those who are mak ing it their business to gather up all the guesses, but unless their has been an agreement the chances are in favor of a big fight. As a result of a settlement of the mat ter and the assumption of the entire ren tal by the Louisville and Nashville the Central will get back certificates for 1,198 shares of Southwestern railroad stock. These certificates were placed with the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company as security for the Central's payment of its half of the rental. Upon its missing the .payments the stock was to be held by the owners of the Georgia.. The Central has missed but the rentals have been paid by the Louisville and Nashville and the road is not liable. An order was oase secured from Judge Speer of the United States court to pre vent the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company having the stock transferred to it upon the books of the Southwestern. The Central has drawn the dividends on the security all the time it has been held by the banking company, so that its get ting the stock back will not represent any additional income. OTIS SKINNER At the Academy .Tonight- Other Good Attractions Offered for the Week. Otis Skinner, long lookwd for by the the atre-goers ot Macon, comes to tae Acade my 01 Music tonignl xu fils great play, ■•rrinee uiKiplpfi." That it will oe one of the great treats of tne season goes without saying. Otis Skinner has won a magnificent reputation as an actor and has won it on his merits, in Prince Otto he has found, it is said, a cnaracter that suits him better than any he has ever taken; in fact, one that suits him exactly. Everywhere, without exception, the crit ics have awarded him praise witnout stint, and have even been encnusiastic. The play comes to Macon with full scenery and will be elaborately staged. The demand for reserved seats has been very heavy, and Mr. Skinner will tonight play to one of the most select and one of the largest audiences of this season in Macon. JAMES O’NEIL. “The Dead Heart, ’ with James O’Neil in the character of Robert Landrum, has been seen in Macon once, but it is so long ago and the play gave such pleasure io every one who saw it that it is safe to predict tor Mr. O’Neil a splendid audience on Friday night. The famous Bastile scene is one of the most elaborately mounted and the most stirring ever put upon the stage. Mr. O’Neil carries an unusually strong compa ny, both numerically and in point of abil ity. In this scene fifty people are upon the stage at one time, and the rescue of Robert Landry from the dungeon is real istic and powerful. WOOD WARD-WARREN. The intervals of Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of the week will be filled in by the Woodward-Warren popular priced company, which has established itself as a strong favorite throughout the country. It comes to Macon this year better equipped than ever. Its repertoire is full of new and good comedies and the prices at which the company opens the doors of the Academy this year affords every one an opportunity to enjoy a good play. Ten. twenty and thirty cents are the prices, and they should, and doubtless will, draw im mense houses. ABOUT BALLPLAYERS. Billy Merritt’s Pittsburg hat is chalked. He is marked for a spring promenade. Ned Cartwright’s figures gave Jimmy Manning a bad case of ante holiday blind staggers. Herman Doescher prefers to remain in the Eastern League to joining Uncle Nick's post-graduate class in umpiring. Senator Cy Swaim expects to do a little twirling this winter. He will play with Jacksonville in the Florida League. The out-of-town vote has given Billy Hoy a big majority in the Fans’ election, but in the city Miller’s friends are largely in evidence. Henry Chadwick thinks that Jack Doyje’s presence on the' Washington team means a rank .or Senators as low as eighth by October Ifi. “Barring accidents,” chirps crappy Bill Joyce, “New York will win the flag in a walk.” Aye, that's the rub. You can’t bar accidents. They are in the game to give it life, Tom Burns may manage Chjcggo, but he is still putting game in his Bay State bag. He has signed Mike McDermott, who flitted out es league view only last season. If Guy Hecker’s f.ond hopes are reglised the Iron and OH League will again be in the field next season. The veteran ex king of Bourbondom is still in OR City, Catcher W. J. Clarke turned up in Bal timore after the far Western trip loaded down vzith Indian relics. Bill would look well on the coach line next-year wrapped in a red blanket and with feathers In his hair. Once more the giants will train at Lake wood. “Society was all agog,” as Mr. Jen kins would say, last spring when the New Yorker* mingled with the swell push at the New Jersey resort. “Dad” Clarke vows there was a dead line established for the Glagf#, and that after dark no ball player was permitted io parade in certain corridors of the hotel. “I was promenad ing in the proscribed territory one even ing,” said Dad. “Upon my arm there leaned a very lovely skirt. The sight seemed to disturb my old friend Freedman, apd he rushed over and demanded: ‘What do you mean by bringing a chambermaid into this crowd?’ And I told him: ’This j Is no ehambermaid; she’s a lady’s compan ion!’ In the part of the hotel in which ! we were supposed to remain there were : musicians, waiters, barbers, chamber- ' maids, barkeepers, ballplayers and dogs!” I But Dad doesn’t love the New Yorker. CZUoTOiTIA. J ”* "*** i! A WORD FROM “OLD NEWTON.” Cheney's Expectorant cured my son of spasmodic croup. I find it equally benefi- i eial in all kinds of throat trouble. I con sider it a blessing in my family. C. D. McCurry. j Newton County, Ga. Disease makes a man just as helpless is if he were tied with ropes. Weary lassitude makes his muscles useless—slug gish circulation of impure blood fills his brain with useless clogging matter. Ef fort is distasteful and brings scant results. The trouble usually starts with the diges tion. Teo much brain work takes needed blood from stomach to head and retards the stomach’s work. The body is not fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes a stranger, loss of appetite is followed by loss of flesh —and all for the want of the right medicine at the right time. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is for the man who is losing flesh and vitality. It is for the man whose digestion needs help and whose nerves and brain are overworked. It is the greatest of all tonics. No matter what seems to be your trouble, the “Golden Medical Discovery” will cure it. It cures by making the blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur nishing food for nerves and brain. Noth ing has ever been found to equal it, but dishonest druggists sometimes try to make you believe that something more profitable to them is “ just as good.” Do not be deceived.
