At the meeting the reports of the dif
ferent committees were made.
From the railroads of the state the cwn
ininsion received every assurance of theii
support.
The reports of all the committees were
most encouarging.
The next meeting will be held at Au
gusta.
Nearly all of the states of the Union
have made appropriations to make ex
hibits ut the exposition, which will rival
the great World’s Fair at Chicago.
The constitution of Georgia does not
permit of appropriations being made for
the purpose of making exhibits at fairs
and expositions, consequently, the show
that will be made at the exposition de
pends entirely upon the liberality of the
citizens of the state.
For the purpose of getting up a fund
the commission was appointed by Gov
ernor .Atkinson.
At the meeting this afternoon the mayor
am! council will lie in session with the
commission, and it. is safe to say that
Macon will do her part towards making
the exhibit what it should be.

E. Hazard Willis, of Cincinna
ti now in the Yukon Tells
What to Take There.
Dawson, N. W. T., Nov. 30 —It may be
well to give some exact information re
garding the outfits which mca should
bring with them in this country. No
doubt there are thousands who are pre
paring for the trip.
In the first place, each man should pur
chase, and bring through without fail, the
following supplies, wihch will last ham for
one year: Flour, 10 50-lb sacks; salt, 20
lbs; bacon, well cured, 150 lbs; ham, 50
lbs; coffee, 20 lbs; tea 15 lbs; sugar, 150
lbs; dried fruit, 200 lbs; rice, 100 lbs;
butter, 100 lbs; lard 60 lbs; oatmeal and
otehr cereals, 100 lbs; one case (24 cans)
condensed milk, weight 60 lbs; two cases
corned beef, weight 112 lbs; two cases
roast beef, weight, 132 lbs; two cases beef
tongue, weight, 134 lbs; two cases canned
tomatoes, weight, 144 lbs; two cases can
ned cabbage, weight, 128 lbs; two cases
canned corn, weight, &0 lbs; 50 lbs split
peas; 240 lbs candles; 10 gallons coal oil,
in tin cases; two cases of can fruit; con
densed vinegar, 1 quart; evaporated
onions, 10 lbs; desiccated potatoes, 50 lbs;
Ivory soap, 20 bars; pilot bread, 50 lbs;
black beans, 100 lbs; 10 lbs baking powder,
2 lbs extract of beef; pepper, 1 lb; mus
tard, 1 lb; matches in waterproof cans;
string, etc. Total weight of provisions,
2785 pounds.
These goods should be placed under
double coverings, first in light cotton sacks
and then In heavy oiled canvas sack§ to
keep out water. Many a fine outfit has
been spoiled because of neglect in this
particular. If you cannot bring the pro
visions, etc., mentioned in this list it will
be far better and safer to stay at home,
as the food supplies of the Yukon trading
companies during the coming year, 1898,
will not begin to be sufficient for the
army of people in this section.
In addition to the food it will be neces
sary to bring a sheet-iron stove for cook
ing and heating in a cabin, costing in
Seattle $8; also heavy woolen underwear,
a complete suit of gray mackintosh (wa
ter-proof), 3 pairs crack-proof gum boots,
200 feet %-inch man 411a boat rope; small
er sizes in rope, medicines, one tarpaulin
for covering goods in boat, carpenter tools
for boat building, gold pan, pick, shovel,
whipsaw, cross-cut saw, 2-inch auger for
raft building, 10 by 12 A tent, 2 rubber
blankets, mosquito neting, 3 pounds pitch,
15 .pounds nails, 3 pounds oakum, 2 pul
ley blocks for hoisting logs, 2 Yale locks
and staples, 1 fur rope, wolf prefered, 9
by 9 feet; 3 pairs heavy double blankets,
one fur cap, one pair wool boots with
arctic overshoes, 3 ptirs heavy German
socks, cooking outfit, including only gran
ite-ware [ait's of best quality; Winchester
45-90 rifle, fishing tackle, 2 axes an a
hatchet.
Heavy leather shoes are an absurdity;
three pairs of light hob-nailed shoes are
sufficient. Moccasins, obtainable .in the
country, must be worn during the winter.
Ordinary overcoats are useless. Two or
three heavy shirts give better protection.
It is well to have a dozen extra canvas
sacks in the outfit for use in replacing
torn sacks. A bold of unbleached cotton
cloth will be very useful. Folding can
vas boats are occasionally of use, but are
not etror.ig enough for traveling on the
Yukon. The sectional wooden boats sold
by Seattle .merchants are worse than use
less, being positively dangerous. ~
Person’s outfitting for a year's sojourn
'in the Yukon country cannot afford to
take the advice of Portland or Seattle mer
chants concerning the supplies that are
required. My observation has been .that
these gentlemen know little or nothing
about the matter, although 'they will offer
profuse information, and even insist on
putting up outfits according to their ideas.
Those who trusted to these men and came
into the Yukon recently, have not ceased
to bewail their ill luck. It is better, per
haps, to outfit in one’s own town, attend
ing personally to the minutest details,
and then ship the stuff to the Pacific Coast,
Some articles, however, especially arctie
woolens, cannot be purchased except at
San Francisco, St. Paul or Puget Sound
cities. ,
Having disposed of the question of out
fits, let me offer one other bit of advice.
Do not start out with the sole intention of
reaching the Klondike. It is well enough
to descend the Yukon and stop here for
a few days or weeks, if you wish, 'but
understand, the Klondike and all its trib
utaries are staked from its source to its
mouth, and there is no room for newcom
ers except those prepared to purchase the
mines.
Your plan of op-- '.an must be along the
prospecting 1 to. New streams may de
velop the wealth of the Klondike. There
are hundreds of streams, both rivers and
creeks in Alaska and the British north
western territory. ,
Americans can well afford to prospect
in Alaska, where .immense quantities of
gold exist and where mining regulations
are much more favorable than in the Can
adian territory. Since Canadians adopted
the plan of allowing only one hundred
feet to a placer claim, instead of five
hundred feet, as formerly, and have de
termined to rob the claim owners of 20
per cent of their gross profits, under the
plea of exocaing royalty, many Americans
mining here have become disgusted and
have determined to try their luck in Uncle
Sam's territory.

GOODJOWIIIG.
Their Anuual Report to Coun
cil Were Read and Dis
cussed Last Night.
CRIME ON DECREASE,
As is Shown By Police Record
Much Saved By the Fire
Department-
The reports made to city council last
night by Chief of Police Boifeuillet and
Chief of Fire Department L. M. Jones are
most gratifying.
Chief of Police Boifeuillet’s report show
ed that the department had lived within
its budget of $40,780 and has $479.35 to its
credit. Os this amount $4,814.04 was ex
pended for things that were not provided
in the appropriation of the department.
The total amount collected from fines im
posed by the recorder was $4,980.44.
Attention is called to the large beats
that are patrolled by some of the men,
and shows the necessity of extra men.
Fifty miles of street, fifty miles of alleys
are patrolled by the force.
The report shows that crime is on the
decrease. The number of barrooms has
decreased from 100 to 56 since 1895. Fol
lowing is the number of arrests made as
to sex and color:
White males, 1,102.
White females 19.
Colored males 1,917.
Colored females 5,550.
The report then cites the causes for ar
rests.
CHIEF JONES’ REPORT.
One hundred and six alarms were res
ponded to by the department during 1897.
The valuation of property endangered was
as follows:
Buildings, $472,700.
Contents, $173,000.
Insurance on buildings, $428,600.
Insurance oh contents, $158,000.
Insurance paid on buildings, $14,095.
Insurance paid on contents, $110,484.
This does not include the fire at Central
railroad shops, .as the officials would not
give any information as to amount of
property endangered or amount of loss.
Repairs 'wore recommended for the
building occupied by the hook and ladder
company. Recommended that the fire
hydrants be oiled and repaired.
DEUGHTFTFUL
John and Marion Manola
Give Two Performances
of Friend Fritz Today.
•Marion .Manola and John Mason will
again be seen tonight in that delightful
pastoral play, “Friend Fritz.”
At no time since John Mason and Marion
Manola have been joint stars have they
ever been in tinier form or better voice
than the present season, and their present
tour in “Friend Fritz” has been the most
prosperous that they have ever enjoyed.
Manager Askin, in selecting the company,
was fortunate in being able to secure all
of the 'members of the original organiza
tion, with but one exception. The sceery
and costumes for every act are all new
this season, and never before was this pic
turesque and elightful play so well equip
ped as at the present season. Several new
songs have been interpolated with all of
•the popular gems having been retained.
Madame Helena Mojeska, the great Pol
ish actress, will be at the Academy of
Music Saturday next. The admirers of this
Celebrated artist will be delighted to hear
that she is now in excellent health, and
that her brilliant and varied artistic gifts
have never been more in evidence than
they are on the tour which she is now
making.
She will present Herman Sudermann’s
master piece, “Magda,” the play which has
aroused more interest and comment than
any other recent dramatic production, and
in which Mojeska, Duse and Bernhardt,
the world’s three most distinguished ac
tresses, have all made pronounced hits.
It is the simple story of life in the hum
ble home o's an old German retired officer,
whose daughter, Magda, had gone out into
the great world when only a young girl, in
the face of bitter opposition from her
father, and who returns a dozen years af
ter, brilliant, accomplished, and with a
great reputation as a prima donna, to seek
a reeoncilliation and forgiveness from the
stern parent.
Magda’s career and her views of life are
wholly opposed to the narrow conventional
principles of her father, but parental affec
tion finally triumphs over everything, and
the old man’s expiring moment 'is marked
by a caress extended to the offending girl.
The situations in the play are highly dra
matic and realistic, and Mojeska’s portray
al of ‘“Magda” is one of the most powerful
an dconvincing of all her interpretations.
PRIMROSE AND WEST.
The attraction at the Academy of Music
Thursday will be Primrose & West’s big
minstrel organization, new in every detail,
both as to songs, jokes, etc., and in gen
eral make-up. Os the new people engaged
for the season, chief among them will be
found the names of Ernest Tenney, Water
bury Bros. & Tenney, Quaker City Quar
tette. and Manuel Romaine, the sweet
voiced tenor. George Wilson is still a
feature of the program with his monologue
specialty.
ANGUSTA’S POSTOFFICE MUDDLE.
It Is a Toss-Up Between Smythe and Stal
lings for the Plum.
Augusta., Ga., Jan. 26.—The local Re
publicans are greatly excited over the post
office appointment. As long as Jucfeon
Lyons was in the race the party organiza
tion was behind him, but now that he has
withdrawn from the field and called upon
them to endorse somebody else, they have
split between Smythe and Stallings.
From a party standpoint of party ser
vice, Stallings ought to have it. He has
been a Republican always, in evil and in
good report, when it was not popular for
a white man to be a Republican and to
meet with negroes in their party meetings.
Smythe is a store keeper, a member of
the Grand Army of the Republic and a
northern man, but he has never been an
active Republican politician. He comes
more in the kid-glove lily white depart
ment. and consequently is oposed by these
who think the prize should go to the man
who has fought the party's battles.
Last night the local organization met
and wrangled until past midnight, but did
not endorse anybody. About 3 o’clock in
the morning a faction claiming to be the
majority indorsed Stallings and telegrams
to this effect were sent to Washington.
Counter telegrams were sent in the inter
est of Smythe, and this afternoon a Smythe
delegation left for Washington. Both Stal
lings and Smythe confidently counted on
the appoint me nt as soon as Lyons with
drew his name, and it is a toss-up as to
who will win.

AND THEN SHE FAINTED.
Girl Advertised for a Husband and a Negro
Answered Her.
Pensacola, Fla., Jan. 26.—A sensational
report 'has been received from River Junc
tion, the eastern terminus of the Louis
ville and Nashville roda in this state.
Some time since a very pretty and styl
ish young woman in New York adver
tised for a husband. The advertisement
was answered by a 'man in Calhoun coun
ty, this state, who has negro blood in his
veins, but is nearly white. Photographs
and letters were exchanged, and it was
finally agreed that the young lady should
come to River Junction, where the man
would meet her and after marriage take
her to his heme.
Early this week the man went to River
Junction to meet the train from New York,
upon which the young lady was coming.
■Before leaving home he was so overjoyed
that he told his mission.
When he reached River Junction he
found a committee of citizens awaiting
him. They informed him that he must
tell the young woman immediately upon
her arrival that he had negro blood in his
veins. At first he refused, but several
drawn revolvers soon brought him to
terms.
An hour afterward the New York train
arrived, and a very stylish young woman
alighted. The man knew her at once, and
with great hesitation informed her that
he was partly a negro. She fainted on
hearing the news and later repulsed him,
although he earnestly pleaded with her.
The young woman seemed to be greatly
overcome, but she had money and at once
purchased a return ticket to New York.

A Joke on General Lee.
Mrs. Cleveland enjoys a joke as much
as her husband and has a good memory.
One of her first remarks, after she knew
that Ruth and Esther had a little broth
er, was that the good news should
straightway be telegraphed to General
Fitz Hugh Lee. That gentleman, who is
now our consul general at Havana, was
in this country at the time, but his
name did not appear among the list of
persons who congratulated the ex-presh
dent and Mrs. Cleveland upon the birth
of their son. The reason was that four
years previous General Lee had been
royally laughed at all over the country
for premature enthusiasm in the matter
of such congratulations. The Democrat
ic convention of Virginia was in ses
sion, and its hundreds of delegates were
engrossed in the electioneering contests
and the platform discussions which
usually absorb the attention of such a
gathering.
Somebody up in Massachusetts set in
motion what is known in the newspaper
profession as a “fake dispatch,’’ to the
effect that a son had been born to Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland. When this infor
mation reached Virginia, General Lee
did not stojj to verify it or wait for its
publication in any responsible newspa
per, but at once demanded the attention
of the convention while he read a series
of resolutions, which by rising vote
were adopted and telegraphed to Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland at Buzzards Bay. He
went so far as to designate the putative
youngster as “Grover, Jr.,’’ and said
many things in the course of an elo
quent address which did nej; sound
either wise or witty when found to be
builded on a fake. General Lee was se
verely ridiculed for his indiscretion, and
he probably considered it the part of
wisdom to refrain from entering the lists
upon the'more recent occasion of felic
itation. —Chicago Record.
Huxley.
Professor St. George Mivart, the emi
nent English scientist, who is a Roman
Catholic, pays this tribute to the late
Professor Huxley jn The Nineteenth
Century: “Though I attended his lec
tures for years, never once did I befit
him make use of his position as a teach
er to inculcate or even hint at his owij
theological views or to depreciate or asr
sail w£at might be supposed to be the
religion of his hearers. No ope could
have behaved more loyally in that re*
spect, and a proof that 1 thought so is
that I subsequently sent my son to be
bis pupil at South Kensington, where
his experience confirmed what had pre
viously been my own. As to science, 1
learned more from him in two years
than I had acquired in any previous dec
ade biological study.’’
