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.

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. ♦ * * Saturday afternoon Miss Leila Birch was hostess at a charming party. One of the pleasures of the evening was guessing the number of beans in a jar. Miss Eliza 'Patterson won 'the first prize among the girls, a cup and saucer, and Miss Octavia Burden won the consolation prize, a game. Mr. Hubbard McHatton ;won the prize among the boys. « • * Mrs. Minter Wimberly entertains this evening in honor of Miss Green, of Wash ington.

Miss Wheatley, who has been the guest of Miss Julia Muguenin, returns today to Americus, where she will be an attendant at the marriage this week of Miss Lucy Sheffield and 'Mr. Charles Crisp.

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.

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 dered at that Suzel fell in love with him. 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 part of Llsbetn was a clever bit of work. Iler winsome manner and graceful stage presence are extraordinary for one so young, and augur a bright future for her. “Sol Aiken did good work as David Lich el, the rabbi, and the other parts were all well sustained. “Friend Fritz” is one of the most de lightful comedies ever seen here and all who enjoy artistic acting and god singing ing should see it. They will be at the Academy tomorow night. PRIMROSE AND WEST. An entirely new company brought to gether on entirely new lines and with up to-date ideas Is the description given of Primrose & (West’s minstrels, who make their apearance at the 'Academy on Thurs day night. The company Is said to be composed of the best talent available, both as to come dians, singers and specialists; certainly Lt eanot sass to be a pleasing performance when headed by such well known artists in their respective lines as George Wilson, George H. Primrose, Ernest Tenney and Manuel Romans. 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.
