GOLD HUNTERS
Wade Through Snow to the
Klondike—Suffer Many
Hardships.
Chicago, 11., Jan (i. -The lEvansvile, (Ill.)
format si ekers. who started for the Klon
dike » arly last summer, are having a pret
ty tough time of it. The party has divid
ed, one division having decided not to try
to reach Dawson City until next spring.
The last division pressed forward, and
whi n last heard fmm expected to reach by
October :;i.
Two letters have recently been received
by friends of the travelers from K. Agas
si.;, one of the gold hunters. The first let
ter Mr. Agassiz wrote from a point thirty
mills from Dalton Dost ,iu Alaska. It
bears tin date of iSoptt mber 29th. He says:
"We have had a pretty hard 'time so far,
and a number of our boys have had to quit
and go home, and their horses have died,
and they It ive their grub. 1 have only
lost one so far, and had to leave part of
bis load. We are in two feet of snow, and
it is very cold and hard on stock; ten
horses dud last night. I keep my blankets
over each horse when 1 unpack at night,
ami go without myself. Have lo do it or
can’t get through.
Ihe Thori have lost lots of stock, and
arc today disgustui, and the old man, with
one son and foui or five other, are going
home, as he thinks there is no chance to
get in this winter. The St. Louis newspa
per man weakened two days ago and left
his grub and vveiH thick with three others.
"There is lots of grub stored along
where people are quitting, and it is not
worth anything as the trouble is to get
it in. •
“We are feeding some Hour and oatmeal
1a our horses, so as to keep them from
quitting on us. We are going to Five Fin
ger Rapid, as Foi't Selkirk is too far, and
we are afraid that the river will freeze up
on us and that we will be shut out for the
.•pur, as the most that we can make with
nir pack hordes is fifteen miles a day. and
we expect to make the rapids in seventeen
days and be at Dawson, which is 'two hun
dred miles, on raft: day and night down
the Yukon in five days more.
"We met two men coming out today.
They say that there is no grub at any
■price to be had in there, but they are tak
ing out lots of gold, but no finds that are
rich outside the Klondike.
“Well, 1 will get there if I have to pack
in on my back, unless we get snowed in
altogether so 'that we cannot move. It is
coming down fast and thick now, and very
cold; lots of hard work from 5 a. m. to 7
p. m.; only stop when we get too hungry
to go further. We do not stop for lunch;
only two meals a day.
"I will write again as soon as we get
into Dawson."
Unlike most correspondents, Mr. Agas
siz is better than his word, for his next
letter was written on October 26, before
it he party had reached Dawson.
He said: "We have just got to the Yu
kon, with six horses, all of which are al
most played ou-t. We lost twenty-eight
horses since we left the other boys. There
are five of us. all good fellows.
"We expect to get to Dawson about the
Slst if the river keeps open. It seems good
to quit traveling through the snow with
seventy-five pounds on our backs. W e
have abou. eight hundred pounds of grub
to divide among five of us. and where we
will get more vve don't know, as none of
the steamers got up from the mouth of the
river, and everyone is trying to get out."
France's Chamber of Deputies is ex
amining st: iously a curious project for di
minishing child murder by making the
punishment tit the crime. M. Lautiers
proposes that mothers convicted of infant
icide shall be sentenced to transportation,
and compelled lo bear one, two or three
children, according to the degree of the
crime.

HAROINJN IT,
His Circular Letter Received
Here Today Puts Him
Squarely in the Race,
WHO SUCCEEDS HIM?
Is the Quest on Now Asked on Every
Side by the Politicians—There
Will be Swarms of Them.
The following circular letter which has
been received by the leading politicians
and by representative people in Macon dis
pels all doubt as to me position of both
Col. A. D. Candler, the secretary of state,
and Mr. M. A. Hardin, the clerk of the
house, in the next campaign:
“Atlanta, Jan. 4, ISOB. —My Dear Sir:
Being satisfied that the present incumbent
of the office of secretary of state will not
be a candidate for re-election, I hereby
announce as a candidate for that office.
"My long experience as clerk of the
house peculiarly fits rne for the proper dis
charge of the duties of that position.
"i respectfully solicit the benefit of your
aid and influence in my election. I am
yours truly, M. A. Hardin.”
Os course this means positively that Coi.
Candler has notified Mr. Hardin that he
will not be a candidate for the secretary
shii of state, and it puts Mr. Mark Hardin
squarely into the race for the place.
This leaves tbe clerkship open and the
politicians are looking around for the best
man. He will probably bob up in a few
days, and in fact even now there are many
tumors of a host of candidates for the
place that Mark Hardin has held for the
last twenty years.
It is not improbable at all that Mark
Hardin’s successor will be a Macon man.
JAMES O'NEILL
In The Dead Heart at the
Academy of Music
Tonight.
"The Dead Heart,” with James O’Neill
in the part of Robert Landry, should, and
doubtless will prove a drawing card at the
Academy of Music tonight.
It will he an exact duplicate of Sir
Henry Irving’s production of the same
play m London five years ago. Mr.
O'Neill himself will play the part of the
hero, Robert Landry, whose sufferings and
trials arc portrayed by Mr. O’Neill in a

heart rending and appealing manner. Mr.
O'Neill has spent a great deal of time and
money on the production, as it requires an
enormous scenic equipment. The action
takes place during the revolting days of
■the French Revolution and one picture
after another illustrating the history of
those days is rolled up before the public’s
eyes.
WOODW ARD - WAR REN.
The very excellent popular priced at
traction at the Academy of Music this
week —the Woodward-Warren Company,
which is filling in the time from Wednes
day to Saturday and will give Its last two
performances at the Academy matinee and
night, tomorrow, thoroughly deserves the
patronage of the public. The repertoire
of the company is replete with good things
and the support of Mr. Woodward and
Miss Warren is even and talented. At the
prices, ten, twenty and thirty cents, no
better attraction has ever been given to
the people of Macon.
“CARMEN.”
Rosabel Morrison’s Success as the Bewitch
ing Spanish Gipsey.
In his famous story of “Carmen,” Pros
per Merriaiee has given to the world a ver
itable classic. There is nothing else just
like it. Dealing as it does with Spanish
gypsy peasant life, it admits of local color
and romance to an intense degree. The
ever present soldiery, the bull fighter and
the bandit lend no little aid in giving the
story atmosphere. "Carmen" is famous
in literature and song and the intensity
of iis human interest has given it wide
spread popularity. It is now nearly half
a century old, and it is still new. That is
the strongest evidence of its merit. It is
probably better known to the American
public through Bizet’s opera founded on
Merrimee’s story, than through the orig
inal -work itself, but the interest in the
lory must naturally be lost when placed
in a musical setting. In the opera (and in
deed in all dramatic versions except that
used by Rosabel Morrison) several of the
most important characters of Merrimee's
work are unseen. The most important of
these is "Garcia,” the convict husband of
“Carmen,” who plays a prominent part in
Miss Morrison’s dramatization. As a piay
“Carmen” has recently attracted great in
terest in both New York and London. It
is the most talked of play now before the
public. Miss Morrison will present it in
this city at the Academy of Music on
Wednesday, January 12. The production
will be brilliant from a scenic point of
view, and the cast is composed of the high
est salaried and most efficient people in
the dramatic profession. Nothing like this
performance has ever been seen here, and
it will doubtless attract the same degree
of interest here as it has done elsewhere.
Miss Morrison’s support is headed by Ed
ward Eisner, one of the best of the younger
Heading men of this country, and an actor
of talent and force.
BOARDMAN’S EFFORT.
Washington. Jan. 6. —L. P. Boardman.
attorney for Durrani, left his hotel at an
early hour this morning to make a last
effort to secure a stay of proceedings for
the condemned man. His plan was to see
the individual members of the supreme
court in the hope of securing from one of
them his signature to an order for a writ
of habeas corpus, failing in tis he will ap
pear before court at noon and ask for a
writ of habeas corpus or prohibition.
Any action of an individual justice
would be communicated to the clerk of
the court who issues the formal writ.
Up to 10 o'clock the court officer had
received no notice that any action has
been taken and the strong impression pre
vails that no step would be taken until the
court assembled at noon.

Last night was the time for the January
bicycle german at the Log Cabin, but the
inclement weather prevented the bicycles
taking any active part in the affair. The
german was danced, however, by about
twenty-five couples, chaperoned by Mrs.
Walace MoCaw and Mrs. Sidney Wiley.
The young ladies all wore elegant street
gowns, and the visiting young ladies were
Mis Todd, of Atlanta; Miss Keith and Miss
Dallas, of Nashville, and Miss Heath, of
Charlotte.
The delicious supper served at the Cher

ed of by those who cbjoyed if, Tile Cher
okee Club gave the order for the supper to
the Woman’s Exchange, and as the price
charged was much less than was expected,
the difference in the price was given to
the Macon Hospital. In this case, too,
“Virtue had its reward,” for the refresh
ments were the best of their kind, and
most daintily served. Macon social clubs

EDISON’S LATEST SCHEME.
Would Apply His Separator in the Treat
ment of Gold Ore.
New York, Jan. 7. —'Wizard Edison lias
buzzing in his busy brain a schema of
greater magnitude, perhaps, than any he
has yet undertaken. It is m less than the
application of a modified form of his ore
separator, now used in developing iron
ores of a poor quality, to the treatment of
gold ores of the same grade. Just how it
is to be done, he, of course, is not telling,
but he says that within a couple of years
he will be able to begin work ou his new
scheme. He is convinced that there is not
a single abandoned gold claim in the coun
try, where gold was ever discovered, from
which the precious ore canot be extracted
in quantities to pay a big margin of profit
over the cost of operation, and he propo
ses to prove the truth of this statement.
The reason that he does not take the mat
ter up now is that he is deeply involve 1 in
the production of iron ores by his recently
invented separator, and he never cares to
go into one big scheme while he has an
other on hand. The process, he said, in
the development of gold ores will not dif
fer substantially from the method of iron
working. The mining is all done by ma
chinery, not a hand being required to do
any part of it other than to direct the
mechanism.
NORTH DAKOTA DIVORCE.
Wealthy Brazilian Fred From a Mexican j
Adventuress.
New York, Jan. 7. —Don Eugenio de Fa
ria y Goneoles de Teixeira, New- York’s
new "Count of Monte Cristo,” has re
ceived a decree annulling his marriage
with beautiful Carmen Domingo. The pa
pers were filed last summer at Mandan, a
iutle town across the Missouri river from
Bismarck, after Teixeira had lived in the
state the required three months. All of
the dark hints of a conspiracy that was
woven about the wealthy senor to secure
his marriage to Carmen were sustained by
the decree of the court.
The Dakota court was convinced that the
plot was devised by the girl’s mother, fa
ther and brother, who knew of the Bra
zilian's palace in Brazil with miles of land,
his chateau in France, and his mine in
South America. Carmen told the Brazilian
that she was engaged to be married to a
Mexican she did not love, and prayed him
to save her.
The senor’s heart was touched, and he in
vited Carmen and her designing family to
come as his guests to Washington. Then
being placed by the conspirators in a false
position and deluded by Carmen’s vows of
love, he married her in this city January
14, 1897. After that the girl and family
threw aside all pretense. They tried bold
ly to get the Brazilian’s money. On April
29 Carmen fled from her palatial home
with money and diamonds valued at sev
eral thousand dollars.
The affidavits connect the names ot two
Spanish officials, high in authority in this
city, with the conspiracy.
