ISADORE RUSH
MB ROLAND REED.
The Two Macon Favorites Ar
rived in the City This
Morning.
BOTH GUO TO BE HERE.
What They Have to Say About Ma
con—The Bostonians Gave Gen
eral Satisfaction Last Night.
Mr. Roland Reed 'and Miss Isadore Rush
are in the city and aj-e naturally a strong
■attraction for the hotel.
When Mr. Roland Reed was here six
months ago with his beautiful leading
lady, Miss Isadore Rush, he furnished con
siderable amusement and interest as a wit
ness and a plaintiff in the United States
court.
They were then simply Roland Reed
and Isadore Rush, two victims of a grind
ing railroad monopoly that first engaged to
transport them to their destination, then
jumbled them all up in thei rsieeping car
berths, inflicting cuts, wounds and bruises
until blood and bones and groans filled the
ambient atmosphere of Buzzard’s Roost, a
thriving wide place in the road on the
line of the Southern Railway, where the
wreck took place—-and then after all, the
road refused to pay the bills, and had to
be sued for them.
Mr. Reed,is a rich man, that is to say he
is rich in ability, brain and energy and is
fairly well endowed with the world’s
goods, so the money didn’t count much
with him, but it was principle that he was
after, and he told the court so, and the
jury agreed with him and gave him and
the members of his company $6,000 worth
of principle.
While Mr. Reed was giving the Southern
Railroad the dry grins and was melting
the austerity of the United States court
itself, he was building up a reputation for
himself in iMacon as a jolly good fellow
whom nobody can deny.
iMiss Rush was winning hearts that have
been hers from that good time till now,
and this afternoon and tonight the owners
of those hearts, numbering from one to
500 will pay out large fat samoleons to
worship afar once more at the Shrine of
dimpled youth and laughing beauty.
When seen this morning by a News re
porter, ‘Mr. Reed was the harne happy soul.
He really seemed glad to see his Macon
.friends, whom he has not forgotten, he
says. He is looking well and as prosper
ous as ever, notwithstand the fact that the
railroad has not yet prd out the money
they jußly owe him. He exp.-ets to get it,
however, and to mfil.nt .»■•<• b’s friends
ot nis get ~g t, mat he ha« had off-re to
discount the $6,000, but he prefers to hold
on to it and reap all the benefit and satis
faction possible from the money that Colo
nel Henderson tried so hard to stave for the
railroad which he represents.
'Miss Rush, of course, is as charming as
ever, for hers is a beauty and a charm that
'is perennial and will surely never fade.
She too greeted a number of her admirers
with a sincerity that spoke well for the
impression created on her during her visit
to the city.
At the performance tonight both Mr.
Reed and Miss Rush will be seen to their
best advantage in Mr. Reed’s new play,
"A Man of Ideas.” The play is full of snap
and go and human nature.
The situations are striking, and the
characters of Froso Wales, the "boomer,”
and Grace Marvel, the pretty widow, are
strongest the two have ever assumed.
"The Serenade” by the Bostonians at
the Academy of Music last night very nat
urally drew the largest audience of the
season —naturally because the Bostonians
have been artistically boomed and because
the people of Macon know a good thing
when they see it, even if it does come
high.
Os course elaborate criticisms from pro
vincial critics are superfluous after the
company has flitted through the town with
a trill, a chirp, a flutter and a fare
well, but it Is simply justice to say that
the attraction is first class opera from a
musical standpoint, and the holes that
might be jacked and have been picked in
the opera can be plugged with ithe surplus
enthusiasm aroused by the excellence of
the general performance.
Numerically, of course, the compamy
does not measure up to some of the opera
companies that have visited Macon, and in
point of interest for the plot or situation,
the performance is a complete "bust,” but
evidently Mr. Harry Smith had no intention
of laying for popular approval on this line.
The scenery is good—excellent in fact, and
unlike some of the big things and stars
the Bostonians have paid proper and par
ticular attention to this feature of their
attraction. The costuming is picturesque
and the chorus wears the costumes well.
The music of the opera is—-not magnificent
by any means, but very catchy and calcu
lated to stir an audience to liberal ap
plause, as was well illustrated last night.
Eugene Coles and Miss Frederick shared
the big honors of the evening, but the gen
eral work of the principals was, averaged
throughout, very pleasing. From a box
office and an artistic standpoint, the per
formance was very satisfactory, and Man
ager Horne has reason to congratulate
himself and to be congratulated.
"Friend Fritz,” Strange & Edward's
adaptation of Christian’s “L’Amage
Fritz,” will be presented at the Academy
of Music next Wednesday by the delight
ful artists, Marion Manola and John Ma
son. This beautiful pastoral, with its
pure atmosphere and haunting music, has
got down into the hearts of the people
and will abide there -as long as it is por
trayed by artists like these. Mr. Marion
is easy, natural and forcible as the Ger
man bachelor. Fritz and his solo work
receive nightly encores. Miss Manola is
the same delightful Suzel, shy, fresh and
as sweet as the violets that she presents
on Fritz’s birthday. Her story of Rebecca
wbiteboewgsn islre’Sbm.RaE, tharhtrahtr
In the second ac-t is one of the most per
fect artistic touches ever rendered upon
the st.'ge. It is intensely characteristic in
its simpli’dty. “Friend Fritz,” beyond a
doubt, is one of the sweetest plays ever
placed upon the stage.
Primrose & West, headed by the popu
lar George Wilson, comes to the Academy
of Music Thursday night with the greatest
minstrel organization that has eve- vis
ited Macon.
Madam Kellen Mojeska will be at the
Academy next Saturday. The mere an
nouncement of the coming of t.,.s great
actress should be sufficient to pack the
Academy.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it. but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
50c. a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug

DR. [. C. CHIVERS
T 0 YOUNG PEOPLE.
What the Atlanta Journal Has
to Say About the Noted
Divine
AND HIS GREAT WORK.
His Hearers Much Interested Last
Night WheiT He Spoke of the
First Baptist Church.
Dr. E. C. Chivers, general secretary of
the Baptist Young People’s Union of
America, spoke last night at the First
Baptist church to an interested audience.
Speaking of the noted man and his
work the Atlanta Journal of yesterday
should be given credit for the following:
“As secretary, Dr. ChiVers is the lead
ing officer in this organization of religious
young people. He is its moving spirit,
and editor of the Baptist Union, its offi
cial organ.
“This movement among Baptist young
people was organized about seven years
ago. Prominent Baptists from all over
the United States and Canada met in
Chicago in July, 1891, and it was formed.
The time seemed ripe for it, for in an
amazingly short time unions were formed
in the churches everywhere. Since its
organization it has steadily grown. Its an
nual conventions are wonderful in size
and in enthusiasm. At most of its con
ventions the attendance has been 20,000.
The last convention was at Chattanooga.
The next one will be at Buffalo. ‘
“Nearly every state has its state B. Y.
P. U. organization, and Georgia has been
organized about three years. J. J. Whit
field, of Hawkinsville, is president of the
state union, and Mr. F. J. Paxon, of At
lanta, secretary.
“The southern states have organized a
Southern B. Y. P. U., auxiliary to the
Southern Baptist convention. This body
has held three annual conventions. Rev.
L. O. Dawson, D.D., of Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
is president of the Southern union, and
Mr. W. W. Gaines, of Atlanta, is secre
tary. Its general secretary is Rev. Cal
vin S. Blackwell, Ph. D.. of Birmingham,
where the headquarters of the Southern
union is located.
“Recently the Southern B. Y. P. U. and
the International B. Y. P. U. have enter
ed into federative relations, whereby all
study the same courses, the Christian
Culture courses. These studies appear
each week in the Baptist Union, published
at Chicago, the official organ.
“The courses of study are three. The
Bible Reader’s course, the Conquest Mis
sionary course and the Sacred Literature
course. The first Is a course of daily
Bible reading, so arranged as to complete
the entire Bible In four years. The sec
ond a course in -missionary history and
operation, -the third, as its name suggests,
in sacred literature. This year it is con
cerning the labors and letters of the apos
tles.
“The object of the union is the unifica
tion of Baptist young people, their growth
in knowledge of Bible doctrine and ethics
of Baptist polity and history, and of mis
sionary principles and enterprises; their
development in spiritual life and Christian
graces; their training in the best methods
of Christian work, and their culture in
devout and reverent Christian worship.
“Dr. Chivers, as general secretary and
also editor of the Baptist Union, occupies
the most conspicuous position in the or
ganization. He is the second general
secretary, having succeeded Dr. F. L.
Wilkins, who more than any other man,
gave the movement form and substance.
“E. E. Chivers is a Welshman by birth.
He came to this country in early life, en
tered upon the ministry, held important
charges in Buffalo and in Brooklyn, from
where he was called to his present work.
“He is a man of broad -and liberal cul
ture, and thoroughly consecrated to his
work. He is a man of pleasing address,
an impressive speaker and seems the very
man for the position he holds.
"Dr. Chivers has been attending the
Florida B. Y. P. U., and the Atlanta
unions have intercepted him on his re
turn to Chicago. He will stop in Atlanta
for a few days.”
A COLLISION
Between a Street Car and a Buggy on
Cotton Avenue.
This afternoon at 12:30 o’clock a'negro
man named William Bently and his wife,
Liza, were overturned in their buggy by
a street car on the Metropolitan line.
The couple were in front of Knobloch’s
store on Cotton avenue when the car ap
proached. The mule which the couple was
driving became fri-ghteaied and began to
back. He backed the buggy into the car
just as it was passing. The buggy struck
the car about middle way, and was over
turned. The woman, who weighs about
250 pounds was hurt from the fall, while
the man escaped uninjured.
The ambulance was called and the wo
man was carried to the Hospital.
One of the buggy wheels was complete
ly smashed. No blame whatever is at
tached to the street ear company. Manager
Winters showed the couple every atten
tion and will have the buggy repaired.
BAZIN IS DEAD.
The Inventor of the Roller
Steamer Will Not See

Paris, Jan. 21. —M. Ernest .Bazin, inven
tor of the roler steamer, is dead. M. Bazin
had projected a vessel which, it was
claimed would cross the Atlantic from
Havre to New York in about four days.
The vessel, named Ernest Bazin, was
launched August 19, 1896, at St. Donis. It
is said to have met some of the expecta
tions of her inventor, but the principal

to 'have gained favor.
