4 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. Sporting News Os the Day. 11. H. McCall, of Atlanta, Is here. L. B.

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.” REDUCED PRICES. Benner’s Barbershop Makes a Big Cut — (Baths Free.

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.” A Word from Mr. Candler.

Rome, Jan. 25. —Owing <tp the bread riots it has been decided't® call out one class of reserves. 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 Weekly.
