BIG ECLIPSE THIS YEAR. The Sun Will be Dark and Macon Will See a Part of It. CLOSE TO ITS PATH. A Pamphlet on the Subject Has Been Printed and the Course of the Sun Has Been Laid Out. Mr. Bridges Smith has just received from Washington a pamphlet on “The probable state of the sky along the path of total eclipse of the sun, May 28, 1900.” The pamphlet is the result of observa tions made during the past year by Mr. Marbury and other weatner bureau offi cials at stations along the line which the eclipse is calculated to follow. The line of the total eclipse will be through southern Louisiana, southern Alabama, central and northeastern Geor gia, northern South Carolina, western and northern North Carolina, passing out the coast of Virginia near Norfolk. The path of the total eclipse will be forty miles Ibroad and its eastern margin will bb about forty miles distant and to the west of Macon. N. V'-rtheless, Macon will experi ence a partial eclipse of the sun. Last April charts were received showing the portion of Georgia that would be best adapted for the observation of the total eclipse of the May 28, 1900, with the re quest that daily observations of 'the state of the sky at certain hours be obtained. A circular letter was sent out to points in Georgia best adapted for taking 'these observa tlons. Similar letters were sent to the weather bureau officials in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana. The pamphlet is the result of these ob servations and shows e<the prevalent con ditions of the sky during the interval, May 15, 1897. An examination of the sev eral days of the interval shows that days of cloudiness occurred from May 29 to June 9, the remaining days being gener ally clear. An inspection of the daily weather maps for the same period shows that from May 15 to May 29 areas of high pressure persistently covered South At lantic states, giving fine, clear weather; from May 30 to June 15, the high areas were located in the northwestern districts of the United States, that is, in the Mis souri valley, causing low’ pressures and lowering skies in the southern states. Rain areas tended to prevail in the Mis sissippi valley, and also on the North At lantic coast, in which districts conditions would have been much less favorable for seeing the eclipse than in Georgia and Alabama. It is intended to repeat these observations during the years 1898 and 1899. after which we will be as well in formed as possible regarding the selection of the eclipse stations for the year 1900. HANNA BEATEN. Graft Thinks Garrard Is In Line For Short Term. Columbus, 0., Jan. B—Fix-Representative James A. Graft, of Cincinnati, who is here managing Colonel .Teptha Garrard’s cam paign for the senatorship, says Hanna is beaten and that Garrard is the logical candidate for the short term. He feels confident of success, he says. M. A. Neff Is also still here putting in some hard work for the silver Republican candidate. Lewis G. Bernard lingers to help keep the Democrats in line, and E. O. Shelby and Captain Sam Bailey, Jr., have not let up tn support of .the work of Senator Voight and Representative Kemper to get Republicans and Democrats in line for Hanna. UNION SERVICES Were Brought to a Close at First Presby terian Last Night. The last service or the union prayer meeting was held at the First Prebyterian church last night. The last sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. Pinson, of the Mulberry Street Methodist church, and was a magnificent piece of pulpit oratory. The union services have been a com plete success and it is probable that they will be repeated in the near future. THE ACADEMY. Woodward-Warren Co. Closes Tonight— Carmen is Coming. The Woodward-Warren Company closes a most satisfactory engagement at the Academy of Music with matinee and night performances today. “Cheek’’ is on the bill for the matinee performance and at night “Too. Much Smith" is on the boards. The bill for to night is especially attractive and is sure to draw a good house at the prices named. The Woodward-Warren Company is be yond a doubt" the best popular priced com pany that has visited Macon. They afford a most enjoyable entertainment and de serve the patronage of the public gener ally. ROSABEL MORRISON. Miss Rosabel Morrison will be seen to night in “Carmen." The name of Miss Morrison is Something to conjure with. She is the gifted daughter of Louis Mor rison of “Faust" fame, and has earned her right to appear in a stellar role by years of association with the traditions of the stage. Aside from her histronic abil ity, nature has been more than kind to her from a physical standpoint. She has youth and beauty, which are most valu able requisites for those who sue for the public favor. “Carmen” is a character that requires not only beauty, but must be imbued with a sinuosity of movement that can never be acquired. The successful exponent of the character must be “born to the part” —'hence the success that has attended Miss Morrison’s career as an exponent of the character. Miss Morrison has been, dur ing her career, the leading support of Joseph Jefferson. TOURISTTRAIN Seems to be a Little Late this Year Says a Rail road Man. not comm quickly. Much Later this Year Than in the Past But it Will Pick up Says Another. A prominent railroad official, in speak ing of the tourist traffic yesterday, said that it is very late this season in putting in its apeparance. “The tourists are not coming to Macon, and they are npt going through in the numbers they should,” he said. “Usually at this time there is a strong movement, and many tourists are stopping over here for a few days’ stay, while all 'the through trains are crowded. This year but few are going through and scarcely any are stopping here. They are not coming from the North, nor are they coming from the West. I do not know to what to ascribe the meagerness of the crowds that go 'through unless it be that many more people than usual are going to other winter resorts. I expect that Cali fornia is getting a good many more than went there last season.” Another rail road man did not agree with this state ment. This latter railroad man takes a more hoptful view of the outlook and says the season will probably open up right at the proper time. This proper time, he considers to be the middle of this month, when the ve-tibuled trains from New York to Florida will be put on. January 17 is the date upon which these trains will leave New York.

COUNTRY ROADS PROTECTED. The State Law Now Puts Them Under the Same Regulations as Streets. Under a recent act passed by the legis lature a general law was put in force which puts the macadamized roads under the same protection from depredations as the paved streets of the city. The same penalty is prescribed for all violations. It is dene to protect the roads from damage. It may interfere in the laying of pipes near the larger cities of the state, for the law does not contemplate that -the pro visions shall be violated even for this pur pose. It is a matter that may materially affect the people of the city, especially those living just beyond the city limits. The best time to advertise is all the time.
