HUT JENKINS
TALKS_ABOUT IT,
He Was in Macon Yesterday
Looking Over the Situa
tion in Bibb.
MURPHY ON POPS,
He Says that Watson Will Certainly
Be the Nominee of the Con
vention.
Hon. Hut Jenkins dropped into Macon
unexpectedly on Saturday night on his
way from Atlanta to his home in Putnam
county.
He spoke freely to The Nsws reporter,
but on the subject of the gubernatorial
announcement he was somew’hat vague.
Mr. Jenkins oame to Macon to consult
with his friends here. He wants to know
what sort of a showing he has to carry
Bibb, for the speaker knows that as Bibb
goes so go many other counties in Middle
and South Georgia.
From what Mr. Jenkins said it is ex
tremely probable that he will make the
race, but what comfort he received here
he did not say. He was only feeling around
he said, and during yesterday he met a
number of the people who are generally
supported to know a good deal about poli
tics.
Mr. Jenkins and Solicitor General
Hedges are close personal friends and
were together a good deal, but Mr.
Hodges would not give away his friend's
intentions if indeed Mr. Jenkins confided
anything to him.
“I am undecided,” said Mr. Jenkins.
“I have really not had time to investigate
the field. I have been asked to make the
race by a large number of my friends in
every part of the state and I have good
reason to think that I would get a liberal
support from this section of the state and
from southwest and east Georgia. As
speaker of the House I was kept very
busy and I made no effort of a canvass at
that time.
'Since then my friends all over the state
have urged me to run and I have had
many very kindly proffers of support
made voluntarily from different sections
of the state and by men who would not
I think urge me to sacrifice myself.’
Mr. Jenkins sems to think that Mr.
dußibnon will not run and it is very prob
able he will wait a little longer or
until the Savannah man returns from
Washington.
A. A. MURPHY TALKS.
Talking of gubernatorial candidates
Mr. A. A. Murphy, who has figured some
what as a Populist leader says that Tom
Watson wil be nominated by the Populists
and that the nomination will be forced
upon the Thomson man whether he likes
it or not.
Mr. Murphy was at the Union depot
yesterday afternoon on his way to South
Georgia on business, but Murphy, who is
a mighty hunter, always manages to com
bine pleasure and business and is gener
ally accompanied by a good bird dog.
This trip was no exception. The dog was
lavish in its affection amd interrupted no
little the conversation which turned upon
politics.
“The Populists will nominate Tom Wat
son,” said Mr. Murphy very decidedly.
They will nominate him whether he likes
it (get down Jess) or not. We think that
he ought :to lead the party in the field
(confound the dog) and if he doesn’t take
the nomination (I’ll knock your confound
ed head off you fool) I don’t know who
the convention will turn to.
“You Democrats think that the Popu
lists are coming back into the (Democratic
party and you never were worse fooled in
your lives. (She’s a good bird dog, mind
you, but she’s a nuisance out of the field).
1 here a whole lot of issues to come into
this campaign. The church people (hang
the slut, get off my feet) have about made
up their minds that the Democrats are
not going to do anything with the liquor
question and if the preachers turn loose
in this campaign they will make a mighty
difference while If the saloon keepers re
fuse to put up the sinews of war the Dem
ocrats will have a hard fight. (There, I’ll
turn you loose and let you go to thunder.)
And the dog being disposed of the con
versation went on a little more smoothly.
Mr. 'Murphy says that Watson has re
fused so far to express himself on the
subject of the nomination. He will not
say one way or the other, but Murphy
also believes evidently that Mr. Watson
will finally accept for the good of the Pop
ulist party, w’hich he says is just as much
alive as ever and will make a better fight
under Watson than it did under Wright
two years ago.
He said that the Democrats could not
put up a man who could meet Watson on
the stump and was so interested in his
defense of the position of the Populist
party that he nearly left his bird dog be
hind as a legacy to the newspaper man.
The Surprise of All.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son. Cowden, 111., in speaking of
Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked wit la grippe,
and her case grew so serious that physi
cians at Cowden and Pana could do noth
ing for her! It seemed to develop into
hasty consumption. Having Dr. King’s
New Discovery in store, and selling lots
of it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to grow better
from the first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. Dr.
King s New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds is guaranteed to do this
good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at
H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store.
THE VAUDEVILLE.
Good Talent Has Been Engaged f or this
and Performances ars Better than Ever.
'Putzel’s Vaudeville will offer to the pa
trons of the house this week a list of at
tractions that cannot fail to draw big
houses.
To the already big list of good things
have been added Mr. G. Clayton Frye afid
Miss Eva Allen, one of the strongest com
binations of talent on the vaudeville stage.
They come to Macon heralded by the very
strongest recommendations of the press.
Miss Bessie Nitram, the great marble
slab dancer, continues to delight her au
diences and Florence Russell, the old Ma
con favorite, is back again with new soags.
Frank Binuey and Miss Chapman re
main over. Binney as manager and Miss
Chapman as one of the cleverest all-round
vaudeville attractions ever brought to
Maoen.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24 1898.
What is Going
On fn Society.
Now that the first flush of Quo vadas en
thusiasm has had time to abate, the cooler
judgment prevails, and there seems a gen
eral opinion that the great work might have
been better done. The concensus of opin
ion from literary people is that the book
needs to be “boiled.” The story is inter
esting, but rather long to be an unquali
fied pleasure to an American reader pos
sessed of the natural impatience of every
thing slow. The gem of the book is the
letter from Petroneus to his nephew, and
this is exquisitely worded. Some one calls
this letter “skeptical,” and, of course it
is, for how could it well be otherwise? To
me it breathes marvelous tolerance of the
religion in which the author did not be
lieve, and Petroneus was at least an hon
est heathen.
Anyhow, more*copies of Quo Vadis have
been sold during the past month than of
any book in the world, and one must read
it, in self-defense, if not out of curiosity.
In “self defence," because in every cir
cle of acquaintances the book is discussed
and the person who has not read the book
has an uncomfortable “behind the times”
sensation, and even rejoices to occasion
ally hear Nero's name. Not that Nero
was a cheerful gentleman, but at least one
has heard of him, even If one has not read
Quo Vadas, and quite brightens at mention
of any familiar name, after listening for
an hour or so to a discussion of a book
one hasn't read.

There is no doubt that ear-rings are a
relic «f barbarism, somewhat more be
coming than a ring worn through the
nose, but quite as savage. Yet "—if its
the fashion we will smile,” and earrings
are said to be eoming back into favor, if
we may believe the Northern papers. The
Philadelphia Times says:
“Touching a matter of import, honesty
demands a faithful reporting of the fact
that rings are dangling from many pretty
pairs of little pink ears. To tell the truth,
these have only been, seen in the “hupper
surcles” of society, but who, pray, sets
the fashion, if not that very coterie?
“To make these barbaric ornaments pop
ular, the jewelers are contriving the more
sensible little attachments by which eht
rings can be comfortably worn and no
cruel hole forced through the under lobe.
From the 'top of the ring a thread-like
gold hook passes up into the hollow of
the ear in front and at the back a little
gold foot lies against the tender lobe with
a firm, yet not annoying pressure. Thus
the ornament is hung on safely and pain
lessly.
“Stud eardrops are most distinctly Out
of this new race. Long, lovely drops, so
long as to almost touch the neck, are the
mode, though a pair of perfect pear
shaped pearls dangling from the tip of
the lobe are, like solitaire diamond rings,
the expression of utmost elegant refine
ment in jewels.
“Perhaps if there is a woman who is
going to have her cherished diamond ring
reset, she will listen to a word of wisdom
and follow the latest fashion and select
her setting in the form of a coronet in
variously colored gold. The smart and
novel setings for large stones are duoal
coronets, while small gems are exquisitely
placed in prongs of gold to represent a
sovereign ruler’s crown, the diamond set
exactly in the top. Almost entirely have
these new crown designs taken the place
of the long-loved but painfully overcopied
marquise rings.”

Macon people are always proudly inter
ested in praise of their own poet, Sidney
Lanier. The current number of Werner’s
Magazine contains Lanier’s poem, "Hymns
of the Marshes,” and devotes several pages
to a study of the poem. It also illustrates
it with two scenes in the marshes of
Glynn county, Ga. The following flattering
criticisms are also copied:
“The best poetry of the United States
has always seemed to us more remarkable
for refinement and fancy than for either
passion or power. We are not, of course,
speaking of the humorous poetry which is
a class by itself, and is In every respect
sufficiently unique and original, but of the
serious poetry, the poetry which deals di
rectly with the deepest life. No one can
say that ‘Hiawatha’ is a poem of high
passion. Sidney Lanier may claim to be
such a poet, though he was only thirty
nine when he died, and had to struggle
with poverty all the years of his life, so
that even in the twenty or so years of his.
mature powers, a great deal of effort had
to be devoted to the hard work of keeping
the wolf from the door. He was the first,
too, of notable Southern poets.
“That we have in Lanier an original
poet—one more original, we think, than
the United States has ever yet produced,
•more original than any poet whom Eng
land has produced during the last thirty
years at least —we feel no sort of doubt.
William Hayes Ward, who has prefixed an
interesting ‘Memorial,” speaks of the first
poem in the volumn. “Sunrise,’ as the fin
est it contains. Os that we are not sure,
but it is certainly a very noble poem of
its kind, a picture of sunrise over the salt
marshes near the sea, of remarkable bril
liance and fascination.
“Lanier died so early that he really did
not show us more than the bud of his ge
nius; but if he h’ad lived ten years longer,
he would, we believe, have ranked high
among English poets, and probably above
every American poet of the past. As it Is,
we think there is more of genius in this
wiume (Poems by Sidney Lanier) than in
ail Poe’s poems, or all Longfellow’s, or all
Lowell's (the humorous poems excepted,)
and the poetry is. we think, of the kind
that gains on us with familiarity, ins-teed
of losing ground.”—From the London
“Spectator” for December 6, 1799.

“FREIND FRITZ.”
What the Journal Has to Say
About This Most Delight
ful Comedy.
The Atlanta Journal, speaking of the
performance of “Friend Fritz” at the
Grand Opera house in Atlanta, on Friday
njght last, says:
“Marion Manola and John Mason ap
peared at the Grand last night in their
beatuiful pastoral comedy, “Friend Fritz,"
than which there has been no prettier play
in Atlanta in many a day, if ever. The
piece was not new, having been seen here
once before, but it was none the less en
joyable for all that.
The chief charm of the comedy lies in its
simplicity and its freedom from any
thought or suggestion save those of the
purest and most wholesome kind. It is a
play without a villian and is the more to
be commanded on tha't account. “Friend
Fritz,” in short, is a beautiful love story,
delightfully told in three acts, illustrating
how a country lass, won the love of a con
firmed bachelor, whose friend had been
trying for years to marry him off. This
pretty story is admirably told In such a
way as to touch the heart of everyone.
Miss Manola’s portrayal of Suzel was ex
quisite. She Invested the rustic simplicity
of the characters with a simplicity of the
characters with a charm that was all her
own, and at the same time a more dainty
and effective characterization could not be
imagined. She won the hearts of her aud
itors early tn the first act and retained it
throughout. Her work was delightful, as
that of the true artist always is. Miss Ma
nola’s numerous songs were thoroughly
enjoyed.
“John Mason was such a handsome and
clever bachelor that it was not to be won

Mr. Mason is a finished actor, and the part
of Fritz Is one for which he is well fitted.
“A really charming little actress is Miss
Adelaide UMom, and her portrayal of the

Iler winsome manner and graceful stage
presence are extraordinary for one so

“Sol Aiken did good work as David Lich

“Friend Fritz” is one of the most de

GRACE CHURCH
Revival Sermons Have Done
Much Good—Dr. Pinson
to Preach Tonight.
A GREJAT DAY AT GRACE—
Yesterday was a red letter day In the
history of Grace church, for the revival
services revival services that J. L. Morrell
has been conducting for three weeks
reached the highest point of enthusiasm
and effectivetfess yesterday. The services
began in the morning With an old fash
ioned clas meeting, followed by a sermon
of rare force and beauty by Mr. Morrell.
Mr. Morrell spoke feelingly of the preacher
who sat in the chancel with him, Rev. C.
J. Toole and Rev. G. W. Snow, the one
under whose preaching he was convicted
of sin, and the other under whose ministry
he was converted.
The 'Sunday school in the afternoon was
largely attended and the exercises were
full of spirit and enthusiasm. Grace Sun
day school has doubled its membership
in the last six months, and Is now one of
the largest Sunday schools in the citF- A
room has been neatly fitted up for the pri
mary department, and it Is now necessary
to meet the growing wants of the school,
to take in another of the wings of the
building.
Last night it was impossible to seat the
large congregation that assembled to hear
Mr. Morrell preach his last sermon, which
will doubtless be remembered by those
who heard it as long as they live.
Two or three hundred people must have
remained after the sermon who were im
pressed by its force and pathos, and many
penitents went up to the altar for prayer,
and a number joined the church.
The revival services at Grace church
have been remarkable in many respects.
A great many adults have been in attend
ance at the meetings who have net been
in the habit of going to church, and a
large number of these have been converted
and come into the church. Most of the
penitents at the altar have been from out
side the church, and many of these have
been saved. There has not been a single
sermon preached under which there was
not a conversion or accession to the
church. The new converts have gone to
work with a zeal almost heretofore un
known to bring others to Christ. Grace
church is fortunate indeed this year in
having Rev. Snow as its pastor. (Mr.
Snow is thoroughly consecrated to the ser
vice of his master, and is full of good
works Mr. Morrell returned to his home
in Cartersville this morning? but the ser
vices at Grace church will be protracted
during the week under the direction of
Rev. Snow. Preaching every night at 7:30
o’clock.
Dr. Pinson will preach at Grace church
tonight, and this very able pulpit orator
will surely bring out a large congregation.

NEPTUNE’S PHANTASM.
French Naval Officer Tells How It Deceived
His Crew.
Lieutenant Lestonatt, of the French Na
vy, cites an Instance in which the entire
crew of one of his vessels was fooled by an
optical illusion at sea. There are many in
stances of this kind, but seldom is the
mirage observed by so many. A pirogue
was sighted by a man in the rigging. The
stranger seemed to be in distress, and was
making frantic signals towards us. The
lieutenant says:
“After having observed the boat with
attention, I saw as plainly as possible, and
all the crew saw just as I did, a man mak
ing signals with an oar, at the end of
which was fixed a piece of cloth.
“The captain gave the order to the man
at- the wheel to let the vessel fall off so as
to get the boat well on our starboard?- The
man, seeing that we were coming to him,
ceased to signal and sat down in the stern
of the boat, and with his oar he steered
his boat toward us. Suddenly, as if we all
had been aroused from a dream, the man
and the boat turned into a block of pumic£
stone, on which were 'several branches of
banana tree? After drifting slowly along
side of the vessel before the stupefied sail
ors, it vanished out of sight,
