THE FACTS
IN JHE CASE.
Fully and Frankly Stated by
the Firm of Burden,
Smith and Co.
UNWARRANTED RUMORS
Calculated to Do Damage—The Em
pire Store’s Correction With
Miss Knox’s Case.
The following card from Burden, Smith
& Co., proprietors of the Empire Store,
will be read with inirrts: by the public:
Macon, Ga.. Jan. 2‘J, 1898.
Editor 'Evening News —dJear Sir; lo
day'a tasue of rue Telegraph utaUa, with
regard to •mallpox rumors, that Mdtou
ia being slandered by the circulation ot
fooliHh reports,” growing out of the two
or three caaea that are now believed to
be in our city, and we think that we might
very Justly add that the same can be
truthfully said with regard to our busi
ness. These reporbs, so far as they relate
to us, have been in the main so ridiculous
and ,pr»posterous, that we have given
th. tn no serious attention. The rumor,
however, that Is now going the rounds,
which Is published in the morning paper,
to the effect that Miss Knox ‘.•contracted
her case while working on a dress, eent
here from Griffin, to be remodeled,” par
ticularly as the same was published in
connection with a conversation ot one of
their reporters with the senior member
of otfl- Arm, would seem to require more
than a parsing notice from us.
Our Mr. Burden has not talked with any
reporter from the Telegraph since last
Tuesday night, and at that time, the above,
rumor was not in circulation, so far ar he
knows. A careful scrutiny of our books
discloses no trace whatever of any pack
age, having been received from Griffin or
Atlanta this season, and Miss .Miller, over
her own signature, as will be seen below,
states that she has no knowledge of any
such package, nor has any employe in her
department received one for their own ac
count, each having been individually can
vassed.
As the proprietors and employes of our
•bore all have families, deserving their
care and protection, they are as much, .if
not more, interested than any one else; in
the city can be, in ascertaining the origin
of the disease, .particularly that of Miss
Knox, that they may use every possible
precaution to avoid its spread, particular
ly to members of their own families.
Miss Knox has not been in very good
health for some time. She has recently
had a severe cold and cough, and when
she complained of not feeling well on the
day bhat she left our store, which was
Wednesday, January 19th, nothing unusual
was thought of It. When it was reported
to us that she had smallpox, which was
on the following Tuesday, upon the advice
of reliable physicians, every precautionary
measure on our part was promptly taken,
to prevent the spread of the disease. Miss
Knox has been in our employ continuously
during the whole of the past season, and
no far as we know, she has not been ab
sent from the city, or exposed to smallpox.
She was employed in the capacity of stock
and time-keeper, for the dressmaking de-

partment, but was never at any time en
gaged as a saleslady, nor has she ever done
any sewing on dresses. She is simply the
custodian of unfinished work, and assists
the dressmaker in various ways.
While we do a great deal of woj'k for
patrons from other cities, it is the rule of
our house not to make up goods, not pur
chased from us, the idea and purpose of
this department being to furnish -the ladies
erf our city and section a convenience, of
having first class work done at home, in
stead of having to send abroad for it.
ment on the part of the members of our
dressmaking department will be closed,
during the month of February, and until
Miss Miller's return from New York, about
the first week in March, during which
time, as an extra sanitary measure, every
article will be removed from the dress
making department, the carpets taken up,
the walls kalsomlned, and everything
given a thorough ventilation.
Happily for us, our trade is hurt little,
if any, affected by the idle rumors in cir
culation, and our business is going on as
usual.
There Las been no evasion or conceal
ment on the part of the mefoers of our
firm, or any employe in connection there
with, so far as we know, of any fact in
connection w'ith this case, nor auy dispo
sition on our part to minify the gravity of
the situation.
We beg to say, therefore, that if news
paper reporters feel it to be to the interest
the public to publish any further ru
mors, so far as we * are concerned, they
will have no trouble in getting at the facts
so far as we know them, upon application
to us. Very respectfully,
Burden, Smith & Co.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 29, 1898.
Messrs. Burden, Smith & Co. In answer
to your inquiry. I have received no pack
age from Grifiin, Atlanta, Montgomery,
or any place, recently exposed to small
pox. But one has been remodeled in this
department this season, one formerly made
by me tor Miss Julia Collins, the daughter
of Dr. O. C. Collins, of Forsyth, da. The
work on this dre-ss was done during the
month of November, and the dress was
delivered to her as the records show, on
November 27th. Very respectfully,
Mi* M. E. Miller.

MODJESKA PLAYS,
For the Benefit of the Travel

tion Branch of Macon.
RHE PERFORMANCE
Magda, Which Will Be Presented
Tonight. Delights Everyone
Who Sees It.
Modjeska in Magda is the attraction at
the Academy of Music tonight, and she
will play for the benefit of the Travelers’
Protective Association.
Tlie Constitution oi yesterday thus de
scribes the appearance oi 'this great artist
in "Magda,” the play in Which she ap
pears tomgnt.
Few greater artists than Modjeska grace
the stage of any country. She is an artjM
that everyone aboutd sef, and having seen
her she can never be forgotten. Last nignt
site presented Suderman's four-act piay,
‘'Magda.” No actress ever field an aud
ience in her power mure taan she aid last
night. When the curtain went down at the
conclusion of the last act there was one
thing that was noticeable. z i acre was no
rush for the doors. For fully thirty sec
onds everyone sat spell-bound, and then
slowly rose and left the theater. No great
er testimonial of appreciation could 'have
been shown by an audience, and especially
an Atlanta audience, that as a rule, are
half way out of the theater before the cur
tain reaches the floor. But it was not alone
the great Modjeska taac charmed them.
For she is not the only artist of the star,
and his acting almost as Haworth is a
strong actor. His part in “Magda” cer
tainly is equal to that of the star, and his
acting almost as perfect. The entire com
pany is a good one and so well balanced
that to particularize would be unjust. Fol
lowing was the cast:

To put at rest rumors referring to this

the following statement of facts: Any
other statement is without foundation and
unauthorized.:
Mrs. Thomas B. Gresham and Mrs. Ar
thur W. Machen, of Baltimore, have of
fered to give the Macon Hospital Associa
tion $6,000 to be used by the association
in erecting a new building on their grounds
to known as the John J. Gresham building.
This donation has been made upon the
condition that the people of Macon will
contribute the amount necessary to pay off
the existnig mortgage on the hospital
property, and an effort is now being made
to accomplish this object, in order that the
hospital may have the benefit of the new
building as scon as possible. The building
will not be an annex to the old hospital,
but will be entirely separate and will be
made so at the request of . the donors, so
that it may be a more distinct and appro
priate memorial to their father, Judge
Gresham, who was so long and so promi
nently identified with the history of Ma
con.
Positively his last appear
