CLISBY &, McKAY HOW MISS JERRY Mg A HIT. Something That is Coming to Interest the People of Macon. MARION CRAWFORO TOO. Both of the Good Attractions Are to be Here Next Month—Some thing About Both of Them. When Alexander Block’s “Miss Jerry” i was announced the critics and dramatic | prophets with one voice began to cry ' failure. i That photography should invade the i fields of drama pictorial art seemed be yond belief. But from the very start. “Miss Jerry” was an overwhelming success. Presented to a crowded house upon its first niAt— a crowded house made up almost eirtt.ely of the curious and the critical —"Miss Jerry” continued to draw in spite of dire ful prophecies to the contrary. Those who on trie first night come to scoff remained to enjoy; and came again. From New York, where it was first put on the boards, “Miss Jerry” was taken to London and there the picture-play made Ihe distinctive success of the season of ’!'s and ’96. Night after night the play was presented .to the largest mid most cul tured audiences of London. From London tin. play came back to New York and was a “sure winner” again last season. On February 12th “Miss Jerry” will be presented at matinee and evening per formance as one of the regular Library I-.yce u m a t tractions. Like every other work of genius its sim plicity appeals to childhood as well as age. Being a picture-play, its story is so clear that the smallest child may understand and enjoy it. For this reason—-and in order that the children may be taught what wonderful things it is possible to do with pictures—the Library directors have arranged for a “Miss Jerry” matinee for which duly advertised rates will be an nounced for school children. As there are only two matinees billed for the remainder of Macon's theatrical season it is safe to predict that “Miss Jerry” will be present ed to a packed house. The coming of Mr. Marion Crawford’ to lecture for the Library is the grandest victory yet achieved by the managers of the Library Lyceum. It is unquestionably "carrying coals to Newcastle” to speak to Macon people of Mr. Crawford’s power and Charm as a novelist; but it may interest them to know that as a lecturer he holds his own. with the best although lecturing is for him a "new departure” and something in the nature of a "literary lodlF” In December Mr. Crawford delivered his lecture upon Pope Leo XIII. before a rep resentative Boston audience. It is well known that a lecturer who pleases .Boston and passes successfully the test of her critics bears off the palm and is victor in this lecture field. Harper’s Weekly in speaking of Mr. Crawford's Boston lecture is as nearly enthusiastic as that conserva tive journal ever becomes when writing of Boston. ‘Mr. Crawford clearly took "the Hub” by storm. “It is clear that Mr. Crawford is able— as no other American can be—-to speak I wI th assurance about matters pertaining to Pope Leo Xlll—that grand old man who with Gladstone stands prominently ■before the world in the sublimity of his vigorous and consecrated age—‘tlhe most notable and the most forceful personality of his time. .Being a Catholic thoroughly in touch with the church, Mr. Crawford is almost as liberal and as broad-minded as the Pope himself, and therefore thor oughly furnished in all points to talk both entertainingly and instructively about ‘Pope Leo and the Vatican.’ "As this lecture is so distinctively edu cative in its tendency the Lyceum man agement has decided to make special rates for school and colleges whose pupils are seated in a body. Special rates will also be made to Lyceum subscribers, since this is an extra attraction which was secured by purest good fortune and most unex peett dly. The St. Joseph Cadets in compliment to Mr. Crawford will attend in a body in full dress uniform; and also in compliment of the distinguished speaker Fathers Brislan and Winkelreid will be asked to occupy seats on the rostrum. Mr. Crawford expected to return to his home in Italy immediately after Christ mas: but owing to his unexpected success as a lecturer he was induced remain in America to make the tour upon which he is at present engaged. It must be borne in mind that Mr. Crawford did not mean to be a lecturer. It is an instance of glory being thrust 1 upon a man. Lecturing, or rather talking, at first simply to gratify the wishes and requests of a number of close personal friends who were convinced of his powers in this line and who desired to make use of them for the furtherance of some of those “pet” charities to which the world of fashion nowadays devotes itself. Mr. Crawford soon awoke to find himself the lecture-lion of the day. Professionally, Mr. Crawford is not a lecturer. He is a literary man—a novelist and (latterly) a very clever essayist. His victorious career as a lecturer is as amusing to him as it is to those of his admirers who know him best, who are his close personal friends -and who. in a large measure are respon sible for this additional leaf in his already weighty laurel-crown of popularity.

CARLEY REID BROUGHT BACK He is Looking a Good Deal Better Than When He Left Macon. HIS WE WITH HIM. She Has Spent the Entire Day in His Cell at the County Jail. Charles Reid, who has been serving sen tence in the Durham coal mines, near Cattanooga, Tenn., for the murder of L. VV. Halstead, was brought to Macon last night and placed in jail, from where he will be taken next week and will appear as a witness against Robert Dennington. Reid says that he is treated all right at the camp where he is stationed. His la bors are comparatively light. He has been made storekeeper for the camp. His appearance indicates that he has had good treatment. He is some heavier than he was when he left Macon, and has more color in his cheeks. He has allowed a slight mustache to grow. Mrs. Reid went to the early this morning and has been with her husband all day. Their meeting was a most affec tionate one, and tears were in the eyes of both. Next week Mrs. Reid and Robert Den nington will be put on trial as accessories to the crime which Charley Reid is serv ing sentence for. Reid will appear as a witness in the ease, and no doubt his evi dence will clear both of them. He has not tried to shirk any of the blame, and has in no way implicated either of the other two accused. The trial will not last long, as there is no evidence further than that which was introduced in the trial of Reid. It is prob able that both Mrs. Reid and Dennington will be tried together. thereaCdebs. What a Georgia Editor Thinks of the Young Labor Leader. Editor J. B. Nevin, writing in his paper, the Rome Commercial, talks interestingly of Eugene V. Debs and his work. Mr. Nevm seems to have formed the correct impression of the man, as all will agree who have met him or who heard his speech. Editor Nevin writes as follows: 1 huce taken some pains to inquire around town as to the effect of Mr. Eugene V. Deos’ speech at the opera house a few nights ago. I will not say that I was sur prisea at the general approval of lais speecn, tor 1 cannot see now a man could weii oojeet to it, out 1 was somewhat sur prised at me very kina words expressed tor nun by ail classes ot citizens, zv great many people went to me opera house ex pecting to hear a blood and thunder ora tion uau seiiL.mcneS odlcmdlca du OlcfcU discord amt discontent, instead tkey wer« treated to a speech teeming with kmdness and good win, and overflowing wiwi tne doctrine ot universal brotherhood. While there are many men wxio do not accept his doctrines as practical, there seems to be none who do not respect the man and his methods. In other words, mere are some who do not question his theory but who question its application to present conditions, i am glaa r went and 1 am glad so many of my fellow Romans were on hand also. That speech could do no harm and it must do good. A great many questions concerning the present conditions of the laboring classes were pre sented in so truthful and so frank an as pect that it must cause men to stop and think. Whether we decide that his remedy is the right one or not, we must confess that something is wrong. If he did not giVe his hearers some hard nuts to crack 1 never heard any one do it. He has been called a “dreamer.” Prob ably lie is, but 1 will say that if he is he has dreamed some mighty hard, common, everday facts. When he dreamed that a man couid not live and support a family on 42 cents a day, he dreamed a dream that cannot be disputed. When he dreamed that the world cannot go on at this kind of business forever, he dreamed a dream that we all know to be only too true. A dreamer maybe, but a prophet more Mkely. There is only one thing that is the mat ter with men in general along this line, and that is the fact that we will not be frank with one another. I know one man who would not go to hear Debs because he said that he “did no like him.” Condemned him before he heard him! I am glad that so many did hear him, for he made a splendid impression and convinced many that his methods were those of kindness and not of harshness. I heard one of Rome’s most prominent citizens say the day after that speech: “Debs made a speech that it would do any man good to hear.” The man who said this confessed to me that he went .there prejudiced against the man and expecting to come away respecting him less. This man is a prominent capitalist in Rome and one who has never had much sympathy for the laboring man. If Debs can bring such a sentiment from the lips of one of this kind he certainly must be doing a good work. Disagree with him, if you want to, call him a dreamer if you want to, but re spect him you must—if you are not preju diced against him. I believe him to be a man. as I said in introducing him, “work ing, struggling and striving for the uplift ing of the laboring man and the peace and comfort of every fireside in America.” I like the mai as a. man. and I think he will do good. I certainly do not believe him a bird of evil. When our Lord and Savior lived on earth he was called a pub lic enemy and everywhere was heard the cry. “Crucify him, crucify him.” and yet the day has come when his persecution and death is the grandest and most glo rious song of all and the light shed there has pierced the utmost corners of the earth and toda* r its rays guides the foot steps of millions upon millions of men. When Patrick Henry made his famous speech demanding liberty or death, the cry of treason was heard upon all sides. And yet he lives today in the memory of all, oae of our most cherished heroes. When Lincoln swore the Union should be pre served some called him fool and tyrant. When Davis swore the Confederacy should be maintained, some called him kaave and traitor. And yet neither one was such. Each was an honest man, standing by his sincere convictions and battling for the right as he saw it. If you de not agree to all Debs says, and you may not. let me say that it is not a sign it is not true. Be fair and honest with all men and never more condemn a man without giving him a hearing. I am certain of the opin ion that Eugene Debs is a man more “sinned against than sinning.” PROMINENT CAROLINIAN DEAD. Columbia, S. C-, January 13.—General John Bratton, of Fairfield, died at 'Winns boro last night of heart trouble. He was for maay years prominent in public affairs in this state. Entering the Confederate service as captain, he rose to the grade of brigadier-general. He was a'ctive in the Hampton campaign of 1876, being a mem ber of the state Democratic committee, and was chairman in 1880. In that year the legislature elected him to comptroller general. which post he held for two years. In 18S3 he was sent to congress, filling the unexpirsd term of John W. Evans. In 1800 he was induced to run for governor against I Tillman. Since then he has taken no part in politics. He was about 66 years old.

The Bostonians a New Opera by a Great Cast. That exceptional group of artists known as “The Bostonians,” are announeed for an apearance at the Academy of Music next Thursday. The 'engagement is sure to elicit a warm respone from the music lovers, for, beyond question, this splendid light opera company is the best equipped and most famous in the world. This year the 'Bostonians have entered on their tenth annual tour, playing ‘to crowded houses everywhere and creating a veritable .furore with their latest operatic offering, “The Serenade,” written expressly for them by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith. In fact so urgent has been the demand for this opera that their reperto'ire has been limited to this above named composition •and “Robin IHood.” The management has also been extremely fortunate in securing a list of talented young singers, who have made unqualified hits and- strongly aug mented the artistic forces. Among the most prominent singers will appear here Henry Clay Barnabee, William PI. Mac- Donald, Jessie Bartlet Davis, Eugene Cowles, Alice Nielsen, George Frothing ham, Jesephene Bartlett, William E. Philp and many others. The production to be made here will be on most lavish lines, in cluding full singing and acting strength of the organization and with the same acces sories that have marked the original pro ductions of the opera.
