STEAMED AW
THIS_MDRHING.
For the First Time in Years a
Boat Leaves Macon
For Brunswick.
II IMPORTAHT EVENT
In the Commercial History of Macon
—Will Bring Back a Full
4 ■ Cargo.
Th* first cargo of goods shipped to th*
coast from Ma«>n via water in several
years was the one which the City of Ma
con bore as she steamed away from the
river bank at the foot of Sixth street this
morning.
The boat was not loaded to its full ca
pacity as it was thought best to make the
first trip with as small amount of cargo
as possible. A little ovdr half the carry
ing capacity was loaded on the t»oat yes
terday, and it was found that It drew only
twelve inches of water, which is the light
est darught of any boat on the river. (
The cargo was made up of shipments of
candy, crackers, shoes, dry goods, groce
ries, guano and quantiles of miscellaneous
articles.
Anchor was weighed this morning at
the first break of day, and the little craft
which may be a means of opening up a
traffic that will mean much for Macon,
steamed down the river towards the sea.
It has been many years since the echo
of steamboat whistles have been heard
along the tanks of the Ocmulgee, and the
commerce on the river which was once the
life of Macon will be resumed, now that
the business men of the city see that
navigation on the Ocmulgee is not an im
possibility, they will lend their support to
the Macon Navigation Company, and more
twats will ply the muddy waters of the
Ocmulgee between here and Brunswick.
Mr. George Smith, president of the Ma
con Navigation Company, says that he is
highly pleased with the results of the
company’s efforts so far. The cargo which
was carried down this morning was a pay
ing one, and on its return trip a full cargo
will be loaded on the craft. Captain Mil
ler was in charge of the boat.
The boat will reach Brunswick about
Saturday, stay there several days to load
before making the return trip, and reach
Matton about two weeks from today with
a full cargo of merchandise.
Many believe now that the boat will not
reach Brunswick without being hung up
somewhere on a snag. There is plenty of
water in the river, however, to carry the
boat safely over all snags.
It will take a good deal longer to make
the return trip, not only from the fact
that the boat will be coming up stream but
will have on a full cargo.
The crew was ns follows:
Captain, J. B. Miller.
Pilot, W. iD. Armstrong.
Chief engineer, E. E. Ramsey.
Assistant engineer, Jerre Williams.
Fireman. Walter McKenney.
There were deck hands.
Tho goods were consigned to different
parties along the river, some going as far
as Brunswick.

The following fable from the Japanese
is a neat hit at woman’s capacity for over
doing pretty much everything that she
undertakes: Once upon a time a man dis
covered the fountain of youth. Thanks
to its magic, he returned young, strong
and hearty to the land from which but a
short time before he had departed an old
and feeble man. The first person he met
after his return was an old woman, and
he told her about the fountain. The wo
man knew a good thing when she heard
of It, and she at once set off to seek re
juvenation upon her own account. The
next day when the man again repaired to
the fountain he found by its side a few
days’ old babe. It was the woman. She
had overdone it.
DEFIES LAWS OF NATURE.
Philadelphia Man Who Has Not Slept for 15
Years.
For fifteen years William Kelley, a
young machinist, has been denied nature’s
commonest blessing—sleep. Physicians of
note have examined this young man and
have agreed in pronouncing his affliction
the most extraordinary case of insomnia
on record.
The young man is 26 years of age, of
slight, wiry build, and weighs about 125
pounds. He is a skilled riveter, but when
not at work employs his time with books,
being a most assiduous reader.
“I am perfectly willing,” he said, "to
state on oath that I have not slept—that
is to say, as every one else does —for fif
teen years, and that this Insomnia results
from a nervous affection. I do not go to
bed, as a rule, until between 12 and 1
o’clock In the morning.
"Until 5:30 in the morning I lie very
still, in order to give my muscles a chance
to get thoroughly rested. I close my eyes
simply to give the nerves an opportunity
of being relieved of the strain of the day,
but even this does not prevent the lids
from paining me and being very heavy
at times. After morning ablutions I eat
a hearty breakfast, it being to me one of
the best meals of the day, although I have
not a very strong appetite. Then I go to
work.
"All day long I ply the hammer in the
riveting department, only getting a few
minutes at a time for rest. As you can
imagine, I am thoroughly tired out when
1 reach my boarding house in the even
ing, and am ready to do justice to a hearty
meal. The evening I spend in reading
and playing games with the other
lodgers.”

IS GRANITE
FAVORABLE?
What Fourth Street Business
Men Say About
It.
THEIR EXPERIENCE
With Granite Paving is Worth Con
sidering—Almost to a Man They
Seem to Favor it.
The question of paving material has
bobbed up again with great force, and the
advocates of asphalt are making them
selves heard in favor of that material.
In doing so, however, they are doing the
contractors who laid the granite blocks
on Fourth stret an evident injustice; for
it is clear to everyone that these con
tractors deserve praise and encourage
ment for the character of paving that they
have laid in this city.
To read an article in this morning's
Telegraph in reference to the paving put
down by the Georgia Quincy Com
pany, on Fourth street, one would think
that the noise occasioned by the granite
blocks is something terrific, and that the
residents of that street are almost dis
tracted.
The News stated sometime ago that the
granite blocks had proven such a surprise,
even to those who at first objected to this
class of paving, that many were now de
manding its general use in Macon. That
the granite paving has proven eminently
satisfactory is easily proven. To show the
fallacy of the statements in this morning’s
Telegraph, a News representative today
interviewed a number of prominent prop
erty holders and business men on Fourtn
street, who were originally opposed to the
granite blocks, and this is what they say:
Mr. T. C. Parker, lessee of the Brown
House says: "I have yet to find the first
objection to the cubes either on the part
of my guests or my office force as to the
■noise caused by the paving just laid in
front of the hotel. I am perfectly satis
fied with the same and think it the ideal
pavement for the remaining streets of the
city which are to be paved. I honestly
believe there is but very little, if any pro
fit to the contractors in the work and In
all my travels have never seen a pavement
of its kind to excell it. In opposing it, I
had been misled as to the quality of pave
ment possible to be laid out of stone.
Mr. Morris Harris, one of the owners of
the Brown House, says: "I am perfectly
delighted with the pavement put down in
front of our hotel and as one of the origi
nal opponents of this style of paving, have
yet to hear of the first complaint as to
any noise caused thereby. I have nothing
but praise for the pavement.”
Mr. E. Wolff said: "I am perfectly sat
isfied with the granite paving. I have ex
perienced no annoyance whatever.”
Mr. W. H. Snowden was another to en
dorse the granite paving, and says the
objections urged against it will not hold
good. “I consider it about as noiseless as
■any of them,” he said, "and certainly
more durable.”
Mr. N. iM. Block, a large tax payer and
merchant on Fourth street says: "I have
experienced no inconvenience from noir>
occasioned by the pavement on Fourth
street and my office is located directly on
the street. I am perfectly satisfied with
the work and would be glad to see it ex
tend all over the paving district. I think
it an ideal pavement.”
Heard & Moore, cotton factors on Fourth
street, says: "Our office is located imme
diately on Fourth street and we find no
inconvenience whatever from noise occa
sioned by the cube pavement on Fourth
street and think it a fine pavement in
every respect.”
Mr. D. F. Gunn, a very large property
owner on Fourth street expreses himself
as follows: “I have always been and am
yet the strongest kind of an advocate of
the granite pavement. It gives perfect
satisfaction and will remain without re
pairs for years to come. It was used by '
the Romans thousand of years ago and I
see ino reason why we should depart from
their rules.”
Mr. Jake Hirsch, a merchant on Fourth
street and whose office by the way is in
the front of his building, says that he has
yet to experience the slightest inconve
nience from noise caused by the pavement
■and thinks It an ideal one in the fullest
sense of the word.”
There are many more Interviews to this
effect which could be published in support
of the granite cubes.
It is enough, how’ever, to say the gran
ite pavement gives eminent satisfaction,
and a large number of citizens, who were
formerly opposed to granite, now say they
see no reason why and change should be
made.
Said a prominent citizen who would
not allow his name used:
‘The parties quoted In the morning pa
per certainly have made no investigation
as to noise caused by the cubes, before
expressing their opinions. If they had,
they would perhaps have been more kind
ly inclined to the granite pavement. The
advocates of ‘Greater Macon’ are claiming
that in inviting the citizens of the su
burbs to become part of our city they
should be able to point out the advantages
of a pavement, which would prove lasting
for years to come and not be a continual
source of expense to the city.”

Equal to the Occasion.
The Bektashee is an influential and en
lightened order of dervishes which no sul
tan has ever been able to suppress. At the
present time the gentlemen of the order
belong to tho Liberal or Young Turkey
party; they have always played a promi
nent part in revolutionary movements,
and in connection with a period when
thoso wore in nvnnpi ionally bad odor, the
author of “The Sultan and His Subjects”
relates a comical anecdote:
Rival orders, taking advantage of the
situation, endeavored to induce Sultan
Mahmoud II to suppress tho Bektashee,
which, in truth, he was not at all reluc
tant to do. His majesty, however, deter
mined to put the unpopular brethren to a
test.
He accordingly gave a great banquet, to
which ho Invited all the principal dervishes
in Constantinople. What was the surprise
of his guests to find that each was supplied
with a spoon having a handle a yard long!
How on earth were they to their
pilaf? They looked at each other and
shrugged their shoulders, and wondered
what it could mean.
“Come, come,” cries the sultan from his
throne at tho upper end of the room, “why
d<you not eat your pilaf?”
The dismayed looks of the dervishes
plainly indicated tho puzzled condition of
thoir minds. Suddenly, to the intense
amusement of tho commander of tho faith
ful and of the company in general, the
Bektashee began to feed each other mutual
ly, across the table, with their giant
spoons.
“Well done!” cried the padishah, clap
ping his hands with delight, “you are in
deed progressive and sensible men, O Bek
tashee, and I shall not suppress your order
to please these idiots, who are so dull of
comprehension. ”
The Mummies Are Still Alive.
Egyptian mummies are being cruelly
maltreated, according to Mrs. El iso Braun,
a thoosophist and pastor of the Progres
sive Spiritual church of St. Paul. Refer
ring to some mummies in Minneapolis,
she says: “If those poor things were on
sale, and I only had money enough, I
would purchase them and end their suffer
ings by incineration. The lowest astral
form of life still’ exists in these poor old
‘physicals,’ and as a result they have been
suffering for thousands of years. The low
est astral does not leave the body of flesh
and blood until it has entirely returned to
its original condition—dust. When a
physical is embalmed, disintegration is
prevented, and the astral cannot take its
flight. For this reason alone I believo the
practice of embalming is a relic of barbar
ism.”
Describing the transition of the divine
spark—the “I am”—from the physical to
the beyond—in other words, the deathbed
—Mrs. Braun says that astral forms often
left the physical with the greatest reluc
tance. Consequently the body frequently
took on the semblance of death while life
yet remained. For this reason she advises
all people not to allow the burial of a loved
one until the fourth day after the supposed
death—or until decomposition has set in.
As an instance, she cited the case of a
man buried when death was thought to
have intervened who had endured untold
agonies in his grave for 30 years. The
astrals bad not deserted the physical. The
only proper way to set the psychic free
from the body as soon as death has actual
ly been ascertained is by cremation.
They Weren’t Great Boalneaa Men.
Micky Doolan and Patrick O'Connor
were brought before the magistrate for
having violently assaulted each other.
It was explained that they had invested
5 shillings, their joint capital, in the pur
chase of a small keg of whisky to retail for
twopence a glass at the local fair. This
exhausted all their money except a solitary
twopence, belonging to Micky. He be
came thirsty on the road to the fair and
purchased a glass of whisky from his part
ner.
Patrick became thirsty in his turn and
handed back the twopence for a drink.
Micky paid it over again, and so the proc
ess continued until the keg was empty
and the two proprietors were decidedly
drunk. As each bad paid twopence for
every drink and there were 50 drinks in
the keg, each agreed that there ought to
be Bs. 4d. to divide between them.
As in fact there was only twopence,
each accused the other of stealing the pro
ceeds. Words led to blows, and the as
saults were the consequence.—Pearson's

why any woman should remain in this sad
condition. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tioa gives vigor, vitality, virility, health,
strength and elasticity to the feminine or
gans. It fits for capable wifehood and com
petent motherhood It banishes the dis
comforts of the period of anxiety and makes
baby’s advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands of once childless and unhappy
homes now echo with childish laughter,
and are lighted by the smiles of a happy
wife and mother, because of the marvelous
merits of this great medicine. Good drug
gists don’t urge inferior substitutes.
I have beea taking your ‘ Favorite Prescrip

mingo Co., Miss., and have a fine boy babv seven
weeks old. Your medicine did me so much good,
I told my husband I knew you could do some
thing for him. I took ‘ Favorite Prescription ’

less than ever before. I praise your medicine to
all, especially to ladies.”
