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. Th? fas- /> linn is / tr'v ' 1 is co 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.

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.

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. The fu- 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.

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.— Chicago Chronicle.
