PROMINET MEN ‘
MET YESTERDAY,:
And Discussed Exhibit for
Georgia at Trans-Missis
sippi Exposition.
MACON Will HELP, |
Interesting Speeches Were Made-
Next Meeting to’ Be Held in
Augusta Wednesday.
The meeting of Georgia’s Tnaris-Missis- |
nippi Exposition Commission at the Brown I
House yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
warn of vital importance to Georgia, and
the cnthushasm was intense.
Attendant upon the meeting were some
of the most prominent citizens from ail |
section* of the state, and the speeches ’
which were made were aoanirance* that I
Georgia’s exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi |
Exposition will be something worthy of 1
the Empire Slate of the South.
The primary object of the meeting was
to interest the city council of Macon, and ,
Impress them with the benefits which the
state would derive from a creditable ex
hibit at Omaha, where so many home
seekers wIH go -before selecting places to
migrate to. No state In the Union can
offer so many advantages. But the North
ern and Western people have never known
much of this state, and the many Induce
ments to monte seekers. In the past year I
or two the importance of advertising the
state has appeared, and the railroads have
taken the matter up.
Georgia was the only state in the Union
which did not have some kind of display
at th<- World’s Fair in Chicago, and now
the people are determined, more than ever,
to be represented at the great Trans-Mls
sfustppl Exposition. If Gorgia will make
the display there which she can make,
thousands of homo seekers will come here,
and the vast distances that are now cov
ered with timber w-ill be inhabited by
progressive farmers and men skilled in
.•very branch of trade.
Mr. W. A. Hemphill’s talk was most in
teresting. He said that Atlanta was great
ly enthused over the Idea of n-iking the
exhibit. He said that Atlanta could safely
be counted on for at least SI,OOO.
Col. John F. Debacy, of Eastman, spoke
of the vast area of lands in the state that
were now practically waste places. A
state, -lie raid, that only hid a popula
tion of 2,000,000 when 1,000,000 was what
she needed, -and could easily support. He
-set forth the many Inducements that could
be offend tihe Northern home seekers, and
that the best way to attract, them was to
make in exhibit a>t -the Trans-tMisslssilppi
Eximsltlon that would In some degree dis
play the poKstbllltles cf the state.
Chairman Northen introduced Mr. Broib
aton, of Glynn county. Mr. Brobston is
one o-f the largest potato growers in the
state, and has Interested the planters in
his counity in the culture of potatoes. Mr.
Brobaton said that cotton -could not touch
potato culture a.s a aource of revenue. He
said that Glynn county would ship any
where between 3,000 and 10,000 barrels of
potatoes this year.
Mr. Henry Richardson, of Atlanta, made
a most excellent speech full of sugges
tions and enthusiasm. He was followed
by Mr. Kincaid, of Griffin. Mr. Kincaid
is one of the largest cotton -spinners i-n
the South. He mid that he did not think
Georgia could make an exhibit of her cot
ton manufactories at the exposition as it
would require 100 much space. Mr. Kin
caid spoke of the differences in the con
dition of the mill operatives in the South
a-nd In the New England states. He • iid
that the women In his mills made as much
-as $1.75 per day. This, if nothing more,
should attract a large number of people
to the South.
At 6 o’clock Mayor Price excused him
self, raying that he had to attend the
meeting of council, he assured the com
mittee, however, that Macon would do her
share, and whatever \ Horney Wimberly
thought was proper would be agreed -to by
the city.
Messrs. C. R. Pendleton. I. B. English I
and G. Matthews made important sug- I
geetlons. as also did Messrs. O. A. role
man and Major W. L. Gleaner. Mr. Cole
man suggested that a committee be ap- I
pointed to see the business men o-f Macon I
and see what could be raised In the way
of private subscriptions.
The next meeting of the commission
wIM be held In Augusta next Wednesday.

THE IMPS OF THE AIR.
Snowflakes as Large as Footballs Fell Left
Marks in the Ground.
Salina. K.is., Jan. 27.—Snowflakes as
large as footballs, it is said, have just
fallen seven miles southwest of here,
blocks, landed w ith a musical thud and did
not break.
Cattle dashed for cove as if a trop of
howli-ng deamons were throwing bricks.
Indentations where the meteoric snow
flakes landed are still- in evidence.
Snow began falling in this vicinity early
Thursday morning and continued at inter
vals until midnight, the total precipita
tion amounting to about two inches.
So far no satisfactory explication of
this freak of nature has been offered, al
though it h<as been the -talk of the city all
day and citizens and college proffessors
have vied with each other in character
izing it as one of those strange and un
accountable events which happen only in
Kansas.

MINSTRELS.
Primrose and West at the
Academy Tonight.
Primrose & West’* big minstrels will
make their appearance at the Academy to- j
night.
The company this season is said to be j
fully up to the standard of excellence set
by this successful firm of minstrel mag
nates. and include* the names of well- j
known favorites of national reputation.
In the list of entertainers headed by
that remarkably versatile comedian,
G.orge H. Primrose will be found the I
names of Ernest Tenny, the eccentric com
median, George Wilson, “Waltz me Again,
George;’’ Manuel Romane, Waterbury |
Bros, and Tenny, Quaker City Quartette; j
the marvelous S. ymours and Ben Mowatt, j
trio of club ewingers.
The attraction at the Academy Saturday !
night wall be the eminent Modjeska, who ■
han returned to the stage completely -re
stored to health, and who is making a t
short tour this season. She will be seen I
Saturday evening in “Magda,” -a play
which she presented a few lime in
this country just after her return
from Europe, and which ha«s been
one of the greatest successes of recent
years. Duse and Burnhardt have pre
sented the piece In this country, but Moi
j< ska is the only one who has done it in
English. The play is by Hitman Suder
mann, perhaps the most distinguished
dramatic author in Europe today.
The story is that of Magda Shubert, a
willful, independent young girl, who -re
fuses to marry a man chosen for her by
her stern and narrow minded, though af
fectionate ohl father. She leaves home
and twelve years after retunrs to the
humble villiage a great and famous opera
singer. The unrelenting parent refuses to
see her, but at the solicitation of the good
hearted villiage rector a reconciliation is
about to be effected, when the father
learns of an event in Magda’s city career
which, according to his stringent ideas,
has cast an indelible stain upon her char
acter, and he again closes his heart to her.
The real nobility and sublimity of Magda's
nature, however, are at las-t made clear to
the old father who dies with forgiveness
on his lips.
The [day is a study of character, highly
dramatic, and Modjfska's portrayal of the
leading role has been ranked by critics
aamong her finest creations.
The company supporting Modjeska this
year is one of merit. Mr. Joseph Haworth,
an actor of excellent ability and fine repu
tation plays the leatd-lng role, and in ad
dition to him the company contains a
number of other well-known players.
“A Milk White Flag,” Hoyt’s clever
satire on the “citizen soldiery” commonly
called the militia, will be presented at the
Academy Thursday night. “A Milk White
Flag” is probably the best, as it certainly
is the most pretentious of all Hoyt’s pro
duetdons. It has a good plot; it is really
funny and legitimately amusing; its
satire is just yet not too biter; it is crowd
ed with good music, original and pleasing
specialties, bright dialogue, clever danc'ing
and pretty marches. The brilliant cos
tumes of the officers and v-ivandiers and
the rpotty faces and and graceful figures
of the female contingent of -the Ransome
Guards contribute materially to the charm
of the -performance. Forty people are en
gaged in this production. The iptece will
be presented here exactly as to costume
and scenery as it was clone at Hoyt’s The
ater, New York, during the run of 200
nights.

BLACK NAPOLEONS.
Zulu Kings Who H»vo Keen Condemned
to Kxiln ou St. Helena.
Once again St. ILltua has become
' the prison of Great Britain. Seventy
! two years ago Napfleou entered on his
; six years’ exile there, fretting and fv.-
| miug in his cuperb loneliness, with
nothing to survey but those seven and
forty square miles which the little is
land is composed of. Today three king
lets live in exile there—namely, Dini
zulu, the son ; Ndabn' o, tiki T-bingana,
the brother and half brother of the great
Zulu, Cetewayo. It is not the mere fact
of St. Helena being the prison that
makes me speak of the exiled chiefs at
“Black Napoleons,” for the Zulu, sima
the beginning of the century, had been
the greatest warrior in South Africa.
Win n the English first landed at Pori
Natal, Chaka, the chief, dominated the
whole of the southeastern seaboard,
from the Limpopo to Cape Colony.
Chaka was killed by bis brother in 1828,
and Succeeded by another, called Din
gaan, who warred against the Boers
and was defeated by them in 1838. The
Cape government took military posses
. sion of the country in 1841 and felt
I bound to blot out the Zulus under Cete
wayo in 1883-1. When the great chief
I died, or was poisoned, in 1884, the quar
rel was continued by his sou, Dinizulu,
and in 1888 be and his upcles were
banished to St. Helena.
All the exiled chiefs are married, Di
nizulu having actually two wives. Iht
wives of the elder chiefs have their hah
dressed in the cone which is the propei
coiffure of Zulu married women. This
however, cannot lawfully be done til;
all the marriage rites are duly com
pleted, and as this was impossible in
Dinizulu’s case, his marriage having
taken place only during his exile, the
brides bad to be contented with a par
tial ceremony and will only be able k
dress their hair on their return home,
after the remaining observances have
been gone through with.
With the chiefs in exile there is ar.
old map, Paul Mtimkulu, a catechist
from Cape Town, who was invited by
Cetewayo many years ago to settle in
Zululaud and teacji his people. V’hen
the chiefs were exiled, “Dr. Paul,” au
the Zulus call him, accompanied them
of his own accord and has since married
a St. Tlt lena woman. It may be men
tioned that Dinizulu writes an excellent
> hand and can speak and read English
; with facility and write it tolerably
well. The Zulu attendants who ac
i companied the party (or were sent out
■ later by the government) all came of
their own free will. Those who have
advocated the release of the chiefs ar
gue that they will be welcomed by the
whole Zulu people, who have never
ceased to sorrow for the woes of their
royal house. It will have the effect of
convincing them—a conviction they are
by no means slow to accept—that the
queen’s government means to deal fairly
by them. As Mr. Escombe said some
years ago, “There is not in the whole
of her majesty’s possessions a race morq
loyal and more wronged than the
j Zulus.”—Sketch.

SOME WHITE INDIANS.
Member* es Tribe* Who Were Not Prop
er Government Wards.
There are too many whit<t Indian*, says
a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The increasing value of the reservations,
the distribution of great sums of n.oney i
by the government to members of tribes, ,
the development of splendid educational j
institutions for the exclusive benefit of I
Indian children, these and other advan
tages have had the effect to draw back Into -
tribal relationship thousands whose title -
depends upon a small strain of the blood. |
These changid conditions are stimulating
marriages between white im n and Indian
women and between Indian men and
white women. In the Indian school nt
Lawrence, Kan., can be seen blue eyed
fair haired little Indians mciving living,
clothing and educati n at the cost of fcb*
government. The same is true at Carlisle
and at Hampton - and at all of the Indian
schools. The richest people per capita in
this country are the members: of some of
these tribes. The probl i;i of the five civ
ilized tribes is complicated by the presence
of too many “squaw men,” white men
who have married Indian womcm, to the
great advantage of their personal fortunes.
It is enough to bring tears to the eyes of a
graven image to hear these squaw men
talk of the wrongs of the poor Indian.
Governor Brocktneyer of Missouri went
down to the Indian Territory some years
ago to transact business with one of the
tribes. When he came back, after having
driven a hard bargain for his clients, be
commented on the people he had dealt
with.
“Indians!” said he. “These fellows are
not Indians. They are mighty smart Yan
kees. tanned a little.”
The new superintendent of Indian
schools is impressed with the growing
numbers of white Indians, and he calls
the attention of the government to them
In a forcible manner.
“Inspecting officials," Superintendent
Hailman says, “are frequently embar
rassed on visiting lx>ar<iing s< heels by the
discovery that among the children there
are many who apparently have very little,
if any, Indian blood. On inquiry these
children claim a slight degree of Indian
blood, varying from one-sixteenth to one
sixty-fourth. In a number of instances,
however, it is found that they are the chil
dren of white parents who were adopted
into the tribe previous to the census for
registering its members. In most cases
the parents of these children are sufficient
ly well to do and able to provide for their
education.
“ For a number of reasons the presence
of these‘white Indians’in the schools ie
liable to become a disturbing element in
its life, either through the greater natural
turbulence of white blood in their veins
or through fancied superiority of race.
Moreover, these children upon graduation
may seek employment in the Indian serv
ice and gain admission thereto without
being subjected to the civil service exam
ination which stands between other whites
and appointments.
“On technical grounds all this may be
correct, but in equity it seen s to hold ele
ments of unfairness both to the real In
dians and the white citizens of the United
States, who pay the bills lor the education
and maintenance of the>,e people. Inas
much as there seems to be no remedy for
this in existing laws it is imperative in
the interest of justice to both races that
congress should at an early date indicate
by statute what degree of blood shall con
stitute an Indian and to what extent
adopted Indians shall bo entitled to gov
ernmental support in n,alters of educa
tion.”
CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure
for it.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
some times with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gasses, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs -and difficult breath
ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of
the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges
tion is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the n-ame of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent
medicine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
through digestion will follow their regu
lar use after meals,
Mr. N. J. Booher, 2710 Dearborn street,
Ghicago, 111., writes: “Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for me
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today I am the happiest
of men after using only one box of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro
priate words to express my good feeliug,
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, hearthurn and bloat
ing after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be
found at a drug store.

GHOST IN A RUINED FACTOR’* !
Her Face Is White n* Milk Against Bur- ’
rounding Blackness.
Os all Chicago's Iva’H.ts the most distin
guished by far is the woman in white
w!io. on the sharp peaks and corners of a
mined factory at Le Moyne street- and Po
tomac avenue, dances a skirt dance at mid
night t-o tunes set by the wind. That she I
does this thing is the averment of the peo
ple of the district, many < f whom say they |
have seen the “white lady.”
Tnis haunted house is now scarcely en- |
titled to the latter part of the title, so ;
thoroughly has it been pullet! to pieces by ■
men of the vicinity who needed kindling '
wood. It was once the location of a pros '
perous paint business, and in those days I
there was no haunt. It is since the build !
ing, which was large and partly of brick,
was abandoned by the paint manufactur
ers that the “white lady” has shown her
self. She confined herself at first to short
turns in the close vicinity of midnight.
When tlm building was whole, she was a
mildly inoffensive “spook.” Showing
herself at intervals at. windows or passing
through the closed doors, she did nothing
more than scare an occasional policeman.
Her face and clothing are, described as
showing milky white against the night’s
blackness. She was always distinctly vis
ible, whether she stood in clouded shadow
or in moonlight, and yet those who have
seen her declare that t here was no phos
phorescent or glowing effect about her or
her clothing.
The factory structure was partly demol
ished a few weeks ago, and now its out
line, as viewed against the sky, is much
like that of a cluster of spires. It is on
the tips of these sharp [ rejections that the
“white lady” is accustomed to give her
skirt dance. Since this new performance
Ik-gan there Ims aptr i.r.-d among the boys
of the district a strong inclination to stay
in of nights. The story of the skirt dance
has spread far and wide, and on a recent
occasion, when it was supposed that some
one had been hurt by the fail of some of
the building s tinder it. was only with
the greatest difficulty that policemen could
lx induced to go about ti e structure. The
dancer is attired in a knee long skirt, of
the accordion kind, and the way in which
she flirts it as she pirouettes from pinnacle
to pinnacle is described as distracting.—
