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.

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.
