The following from a London letter will
be particularly valuable to those who con- <
template writing to the Quetm, and is gen- j
erally inlet ■ ~tm> '•» ’ ■> >'*':
‘‘Many tbousai; ■ of Queen Victoria’s I
subjects who have .oid<e.-scd private let- ,
tors io Her M ijesty and have never -•
celved a reply Live often wondered why !
they have not. Since it is the right of
every English stibji ct to address a com
plaint or any appeal to his sovereign when
ho has sulTtctetn r< a on for doing so, it
is not surprising that wine wonderment
and, evtn lutuiMi i» experienced when,
after a r< .1 -on-,tide time, an earnest appeal,
marked private’ bungs no reply what-
... r ,.. .... ....
soever. Hut whenever a letter of any na
ture addro.iied to the Queen remains un
answered it is due to the fault of the sub
ject, and not of the sovereign. And for
the simple ri a <>n that persons who are
unacquainted with the details of court
etiquette do not take the trouble when
writing to the Queen to familiarize them
selves wi'lh the requirt incuts covering
such matters. Usually the letters are
pro|H rly add re• I, and, as the writer
thinks, properly folded and dispatched.
“'But in folding the letter is where the
fatal error is made, for the Queen never,
under any circumstances, reads a folded
sheet of paper. If, by any chance, or
through the importance of a cause, a let
ter is banded to Hei Majesty and the sheet
is folded. It is immediately thrown to the
floor without even a second glance. This
is not permitted to occur often, however,
for the Mistress of the Robes now looks
over all the Queen’s letters, even after
they hav< pinned through the hands of two
private secretaries before they are taken
to Her Majesty's apartments.”
“A sheet of thick white paper of ordi
nary size, with envelope of same size,
should be used when writing to the Queen.
The color does not matter so much, but
as the royal taste prefer white paper, of
course it is advisable that it should be
used. The Queen Is particular about these
small matters, and anything that she is
pleased to regard as a royal prerogative
must never be trilled with.
“The Queen does not put her letter into
a waste basket, as ordinary mortals do,
bat as soon as they are rqpd, unless they
need to be preserved for some particular
reason, the letters are thrown on the floor
at her feet, ami later are removed by a
body servant.”
Now this is my Idea of luxury, never to
have to pick up anything, and yet to know
the work wdll be done. Altogether it
seems to me that Queen Victoria has a
very -comfortable time.

COMMMITTEE
FRDM£DNGRESS.
Will Probably Visit This Point
on its Trip Through the
South.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
I
Committee Will be Invited by the
Chamber of Commerce and the
City to Pay Us a Visit.
The rivers and harbors committee of
congress will, in all probability, visit Ma
con before long.
It is the intention of the members of the
committee to make a trip through the
South at a near date for the purpose of
making a personal investigation of the
needs of the different places asking for
appropriations.
Charleston and Savannah are on the list
of the principal points, but as the commit
tee has intimated that some of the near
points will also be visited, it is more than
probable that Macon will be included.
The matter may be taken up by the
Chamber of Commerce at its meeting this
evening and a formal invitation sent to the
committee to come to Macon.
As an appropriation for the clearing and
deepening of the channel between here
and Hawkinsville is on the list of good
things to be attended by the committee
and an appropriation has been asked for
for the purpose, a favorable answer to the
invitation of the chamber will be favorably
received and favorably acted on.
If the committee visits Macon the mem
bers will be entertained by the city and
the chamber, and, among other things, it
is possible that they will be given a short
run down the river on the City of Macon.
THE DAZZLER.
Grand Spectacular Production Matinee and
Tomorrow Night.
Tomorrow' at matinee and night Cos
grove & Grant’s comedians will present
that always entertaining farce comedy,
“The Dazzler,” at the -Academy of Music.
tin this case it is safe to say always
entertaining, for every year -the “Dazzler”
comes -to -us in new’ dress, so new that
nothing remains of -the previous season’s
performance but pleasing recollections.
This year’s production will prove no ex
ception to the rule, but on -the contrary
the changes have -been even more sweep
ing -than ever. The piece is filled with new’
music, dances and specialties, no one of
-the old numbers of last season remaining.
The ladies are bright, pret-ty and grace
ful, as well as 'tuneful of voice; and their
charms -are set off by new and elegant sets
of costumes throughout.
Those members of -the company who
made special hits last season have been
retained, but a number of new faces will
be seen, and it is predicted that in every
case the change will be considered a de
cided improvement.
For this -season the company consists -of
Ida Rogers, Will West, Agnes Evans,
Emile Hensel, Lizzie Sa-nger, Boulden &
Griffin, -Ruby Marks, Frank Mack, Eva.
Leslie, E. Cosgrove, -Evelyn Murphey,.

DON’T MISS A GREAT TREAT.
Social as w-ell as musical circles will no
doubt be delighted to learn that the ever
welcome light opera company, the -Bosto
nians, has been been secured for ain ap
pearance here Thursday night. For ten
yeans the 'Bostonians have held -the envia
ble record of maintaining first position in
the comic opera world and heralded with
achieving another -success in a new opera
‘their advent here will no doubt be eagerly
ilooked for. From all accounts this sape.n
did company is -said to be in .admirable
'form, and it is sufficient to say that Bar
;n-abee, MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett -Davis,
Eugene Cowles, George Frothingiham and
•others are still in admirable voice, and
‘that a coterie of bright young singers, in
cluding Alice -Neilson, William IE. Philp,
■Nellie Guisti, Helena Fredericks, Jennie
Hawley and others have become great fa
vorites. The repertoire for the present
■tour is the comic opera by Victor Herbert,
entitled “The Serenade.” and the ever
popular opera “Robin Hood.” It has not
been decided what opera will be done here,
but it is hoped that “The Serenade” will
be selected for the engagement, as music
lovers are familiar with the furore this
opera has created elsewhere.
AL FIELD’? OBSERVATIONS.
The Minstrel's Comments on Matters and
Things Southern.
Al G. Fields, of minstrel fame, is an ob
server of matters and things outside of
stage life as well as in it. In a letter to
the Columbus, 0., Dispatch he reviews his
recent trip south, commenting on the con
dition of the country as he found it.
In writing of the prosperity of the South
he says:
“All parts of the country are in better
condition than they were last year. In all
the principal states of -the sixteen we vis
ited the past four months there was a no
ticeable improvement in all lines of trade.
Merchants, railroad men and those ther
mometers of the pulse of trade, the com
mercial travelers, unite in saying that
bus'ines has vastly improved.”
Mr. Field tells some good yellow fever
stories, and winds up with his political ob
servations. “No Republican has interest
ed the South so much as President McKin
leyley, has,” he says. He then touches on
the subject of race politics. “Race prej
udice,” he says, “is still so strong, and it
is not confined to any party, but predomi
nates in both —that no negro can fill an
i important office without opposition from
■ 90 per cent of the white people of -the
community. That -the negro as a voter is
entitled to a share of the offices none will
deny, but race prejudice is still so strong
that we doubt if the people will ever out
grow it. There are many prosperous and
intelligent negroes throughout the South.
They are recognized and treated well in a
business way. Many of these negroes de
plore the fact that the administration has
revived race prejudice by making these
appointments. A negro who is in busi
. ness in Savannah, and has made a fortune
of over $50,000, used these words: “No
negro who respects himself and his party
would accept an office in the South, know
ing that nearly all the white people are
prejudiced against his holding it.
“A leading Republican who managed the
campaign in Texas last year, and had a
prospect of carrying that state for McKin
ley, said to me that no party chat appoints
a negro to office in the South can keep
within its lines the representative and in
telligent people. The sentiment that has
prompted this policy may be right, but the
practical workings will defeat its purpose.
No friend of the negro, who understands
the conditions as they exist will appoint
one of them to any office South of the Ma
son and Dixie line.”

When arrested Taylor was behind
Pierce’s house and stoutly denied any con
nection with the robbery.
He said that he had been running the
guilty parties himself.

WANTED HIS PAY,
So He Held Up the Coach and Took the
Horses.
Los, Angeles, Cal., Jan. 14 —Near Twen
ty-nine Palms, in the heart of the Colora
do desert, whose novel way of colecting a
debt has brought him into conflict with
Uncle Sam’s mail. The man has been
working for a stage company, which owed
him money and was slow in paving.
So when the stage left a few days ago
he was at a conventienx place with a shot
gun a-nd ordered the driver to stop. The
passengers at first thought it was a case
of stage robbery, but the man said they
could go their way. He did not molest the
treasure box or mail pouches.
He simply said he wanted his pay and
intended to take the stage horse as secu
rity, so he unharnessed the ani»als and
drove them to his carol and has been car
ing for them ever since. The mail and the
coach are still standing in the desert.

ASSAULTED.
Young Lady Intercepted While on Her Way
Home.
Last night about fl o’clock the residents
on Second street between Plumb and Pine
streets, were startled by the cries qf some
one who seemed to be in distress. Several
people rushed into the street and found
that a young lady had fainted at th a
mouth of the alley which runs through te
First street.
She soon recovered and was found to be
Miss Tabberville, who lives out Second
street, and is employed at the Bazar. She
was hysterical and could not at first make
herself understood. She was carried to
the house of Miss Addie Gregory, on the
corner of Plumb and Second streets where
she told the story.
As she was passing the alley a white
man stepped out and caught hold of her
and tried to drag her into the alley. She
at once began screaming and the ruffian
turned her loose. She said she knew he
was a white man, but did not get a good
look at his face.
The assault was a most audacious one,
and in a few minutes after the occurrence
the neighborhood was wild with excite
ment. The police were at once informed
of the occurrence and were put to work
on Mie case. So far no clew as to who the
assailant was has been Sound.
