Not long ago in a city not far away
there was an interesting debate between
«• veral young men. This beginning is
nufficienliy vague, but the report of the
debate shall be exact enough, Before the
account of the debate has proceeded far,
you will s< e that the young men were
superlatively young- but none the less ag
gressive in their opinions and far more
open in the expression of their ideas thin :
most older men would dare to be. This
debating club had selected as the subject !
to tie decided, "Shall Women Be Allow, d .
to Vote?” and let no one call to mind that :
saying " and fools rush in where an- .
gels fear to tread." But anyhow that oc- .
oaalonally objectionable word “young”
might have been left out altogether—for |
the lack of age of the debaters would have I
betrayed Itself in course of the debate, i
Th< president was ensconced in his chair
of state and pr» nted with the .insignia of
office, and then the debaters rushed at
thoir subject in a manner that would have
•made Fitzsimmons blush for lack of ener-
gy.
One gentleman said, "Women are fee
ble-minded. They could not govern any
thing, and how could they decide how to
vole.'” To irreverent outsiders it would
suggest itself that a mild season in a dark
closet rccommended by the debater’s (?)
mother might improve his idt asof w oman’s
strength of mind, on the affirmative side
a chivalric young man sugested that
“God appreciated the worth of woman, for
he said, ‘it is not good for man to live
alone, and created Eve from the part of j
Adam's body nearest to his heart.” To
ithis came the quick rejoinder, “Well if
God did create Eve from the place nearest
Adam's heart, you must all acknowledge
that Adam was ribbed!” it was mildly
suggested that Queen Elizabeth was not
exactly weak minded, .and then the speak
er, forgetting 'his next point, was audibly
(prompted by one o.f his side, “Queen Vic
toria! Don’t forget Queen Victoria!” The
t>piak< r kindly accepted the correction,
argeeing that it was important to remem
ber the lady, but not exactly recalling
■what he Intended saying of her! He clear
ed his throat and said, "Oh, yes! Queen
Victoria! —Queen Victoria’s all right!”
Here, one of the members of the debating
(club, thinking he was at a football game,
began the usual formula of the college
“yell,” with different words —so—" Queen
Victoria! Queen Victoria! She’s all right!
Who’s all right? Queen Victoria! Who
.says so? We say so!!! Victoria, Victo
ria!” But here .the irreverent youth was
Interrupted by an indignant presiding of
ficer, and told to “Be quiet. You’re not in
this debate!” The club member, not
crushed by reproof, answert d with empha
sis, “You're too smart. Mr. (President!
You're entirely too fresh!” The president
made only the dignified rejoinder, “Fine
(him a nickel for that- Let’s go on and get
this thing decided about women voting.'
An excellent speech followed, by a gal-
I lant number, who said in part. “One of
you said 'that woman was weak minded
and ought not to vote. Well, in my opin
ion they ought not only to vote but to
govern Georgia- The men govern it now.
and won’t let the women vote, but make
them pay taxes, and that shows that the
men have no Idea of what is right. Now
if the women wire in power they would be
willing for the men to vole, and that goes
4o prove th; the wom< n are lucre just
than th men! One of my opponents, Mr.
Fresh, has said that ‘women hav< no more
business voting t'han hogs have in heaven.’
Well, If the hogs had a K.-aven they would
not let Mr. Fresh stay there a minute, be
cause he isn’t gentleman enough even to
. asoelite with the .hogs!” Here Mr. Fresh
rose and tried to speak, but was suppress
es!, as it seemed to be the sense of the
meeting that he had already said enough.
It was plainly to be seen that the women
had the advantage in their champion, and
■those in favor of equal suffrage, will be
glad to hear that the matter wins decided
in the affirmative, and that when these
young debaters control the polls, women
will have no trouble in obtaining the right
to vote.

Madame Modjeska delighted her audi
ence Saturday night with her finished act
ing in “Magda,” and after the play was
over, she graciously received a few people,
who were introduced to her by Dr. and
McHatton, her personal friends.
Madame Modjeska was clad in the ex
quisite tea gown she had worn in the last
act of “IMogda,” a robe well suited to her
stately figure. The aristocratic carriage
and high bred air that always distin
guishes this great 'actress, seems accentua
ted in the woman and anyone would know
her as one “to the manner born.” She
asked if we had met her husband, and
when assured that we had had that pleas-

Fortunately we could truthfully answer
that we thought he was, and indeed he is
an interesting gentleman, of courtly man
j ner, and, it is easy to see that the great
. actress and her husband are great admi
rers of each other. When asked if she
liked America, Modjeska replied, "oh, but
y<s. we like A America: our home is here,
in (al if oral a, and the Americans have
’ been kind to those exiles from Poland who
have <ome here.” 1 asked if it was true
that toe czar would not permit her to play
in Russia, and a cloud came over her face
as one answered, “Yes; it is quite true
that the czar would not allow me to come
into his kingdom. He feared that seeing
me would arouse the sympathy of my pto
; pie.”
Modjeska says that next year she will
only play in the large cities. New Yofk,
1 iuladelphia, Baltimore, etc., so that Ma
i con people will not nave the pleasure of
seeing her here again for several years,
i Just as we were telling ner goodbye, Ma
aame Modjeska said, “On but let me tell
i you the funny thing. Two negroes, who
move the scenery, went to slep while 1 was

i to sleep, and some of the .people tied them
in their chairs. What will they think

Jeska had no idea of tue capacity or incli-
I nation to slumber that is the distinguish
ing trait of the average Ethiopian, but we
knew that if Sarah Bernhardt had been
playing tragedy on the Academy of Music
boards, those two colored “gentlemen”
would have taken their nap just the same.
As an actress Modjeska’s talent is too
well known and admired for criticism, but
to fully appreciate the charm and nobility
of the woman, one must talk to her face
to face. Her English, of course, is
perfect, and the occasional hesitation for
a word is fascinating, while it is the only
evidence of her foreign birth.

EFFECT Os TROST
ON THETHEATRE
Better Attractions This Season
Than Ever Before and
Fewer Poor Ones.
SOMETHING ABOUT PRICES.
Modjeska on Saturday Night Played
in a Tale of Woe and Again
, Pleased Everyone.
It is worthy of note that Macon has had
more first class attractions at the Acad
emy of Music this year than ever before
in her history and this is due, strange to
say, to the fact that Macon is in the theat
rical trust.
At least such is the natural presumption
as a comparison of the bookings of last
year and this year shows a larger num
ber of first Class attractions. A smaller
number of the less important and those
less worthy of the patronage of the thea
ter goers.
In fact for the last two months Macon
has had a remarkable run and there are
I still some great attractions to come.
I On the subject of prices Morton Smith,
i writing in the Atlanta Journal says:
Well meaning persons who have not in
vestigated the matter think that prices of
admission to the theatre in Atlanta are
too high, and some charge that the “trust”
is to blame for this. A careful investiga
tion will disclose the fact that prices rule
no higher here than in other cities where
companies remain only one or two nights.
It is true that where week stands are made
the prices are sometimes lower for an at
traction than is charged in one and two
night stands. The reason for this is that
expenses are less in week stands.
It is also a fact that Atlanta theater
goers often see high class stars and com
binations for less money than it costs the
play-goers in the big cities to see them.
Last fall I paid $2 for a single seat to see
“A Stranger in New York.” Three weeiks
later the comedy was presented at the
Grand and $1 was the price of the best
seats. It costs $2 to see “The Geisha” or
“My Friend from India” in New York.
Here both of them played for $1.50 for the
best seats. The regular price of orchestra
seats for the Bostonians’ performances
is $2, yet the best in the house here could
be had for $1.50. The reason for this —
there is a reason for everything—is that
the Grand has such an immense capacity
that it will hold more money at $1.50 than
most houses will at $2.
Modjeska played on Saturday night to
only a fair house, but after all a good Sat
urday night house and a better house
than her very depressing play called for.
Modjeska, of course, gets everything out
of "Magda” that can be extracted and she
in conjunction with Joe (Haworth drag at
the heart strings attached to the tear
tanks of an audience as much as possible
and as they are well qualified to do, but
after all the play is as miserable a piece
of morbid unnecessary moralizing as ever
was written by a play wright. One always
admires Modjeska’s work, but the public
in its right mind cannot enjoy the utter
wretchedness, misery, lamentation, moan
ing and woe that is wailed and wept
through nearly three long hours and four
acts containing the history of a girl who
is the victim of a double dyed scoundrel,
liar and coward who is permitted to walk
off with a smile while the father dies a
paralyte before the audience and mother,
sister —everyone shares in the shame.
Modjska left a bad taste in the mouth of
her audience which went home, however,
and after recovering decided that she is
as great an actress as ever.
Local play-goers have, always extended
a cordial welcome to the comedies of
Charles H. Hoyt, but the presentation of
his most artistic success, “A Milk White
Flag,” at the Academy Friday and Satur
day next will command more than ordi
nary interest.
“A Milk White Flag” is a production
more pretentious than anything that this
popular playwright has yet offered to the
theatre-going public. The cast is com
posed of the best talent in the profession,
and will number about forty performers,
including a military band under the di
rection of Professor Frank Camp. All the
scenery used in the production is carried
by the company, having been brought
from Hoyt’s New York theatre.
Charles Hoyt’s pieces are not modeled
on classic drama, but they all have a story
to tell and tell it plainly; they satirize the
fad and fancy of the moment; they abound
in humor and not infrequently scintillate
with true wit.
“A Milk White Flag” has its shaft of
wit directed at the National Guard. One
of the chief characters of the play is a
fin de siecle American woman, who knows
her rights and means to maintain them.
The role is entrusted to the dexterous and
experienced bands of Miss Lansing
Rowan.
ANOTHER FROM KENTUCKY.
Cheney’s Expectorant cured my nephew,
a little 4-year-old boy. of a severe case
of croup. No other medicine did him any
good. Send me by express one dozen bot
tles. W. H. MILLEN,
Adairsville, Ken.
NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleeplessness that can be
Readily Overcome.
Mr. William Handschu, of 46th St. Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa. expresses him
self as follows regardingthe new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease,
piles: I take pleasure in stating that I
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months I got no regular sleep; I became
completely prostrated, the doctors did me
no good: my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I
purchased from my druggist three 50c
boxes and they completely cured me. I
am once more at my work and but for this
excellent medicine I would be on my back.
I take great pleasure in writing this letter
because so many people are sufierers from
I this trouble, who. like myself, did not
! know where to look for a permanent, re
i i liable safe cure.
■ i Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
' for the past three years has demonstrated
’ i to the medical profession, as well as to
' ' thousands of sufferers from piles, that it
’ i is the safest and most effectual pile cure
, I ever offered to the public, containing no
i : opiates or poisons of any kind, painless
• and convenient to handle and being sold
’ by druggists at 50c and $1 per box, is
’ within the reach of every sufferer.
, Very frequentlyy two or three boxes have
, made a complete cure of chronic cases that
> had not yielded to other remedy for years.
’ There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
> vating and obstinate to cure than the
> various forms of piles and it is the com
» mon practice to use ointments, salves and
’ similar preparations containing dangerous
’ poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra
, mid has superceded all of these ineffectual
k remedies and no one suffering with any
> rectal trouble will make any mistake in
• i hiving the Pyramid a trial.
: if in doubt as to the nature of your
’ trouble send to he Pyramid Drug Co.,
’ Marshall. Mich., for a valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the dis-
’ ease and deseritipg the methods of cure.
i Any druggist ean furnish the Pyramid
1 Pile Cure, as it is the best known and
’ most popular remedy for piles, and if you
’ ask him he can doubtless refer you to
many people in your vicinity who have
’ i been cured completely by it.

CASTORIA
For Infants and Children
tlail* s? is
• * -
MSK ARE =
VACCINATED.
Board of Health Reports That
Over Four Thousand Have
Been Inoculated.
FLURRY IS ABOUT OVER.
No New Cases Have Developed and
There is Every Reason to Expect
None Will be Reported.
The smallpox flurry has about died out,
though the city physicians are kept busy
at the work of vaccination of people of all
colors, sexes and ages. Miss Knox is re
ported to be better and strong hopes are
entertained of her recovery. No other
eases have been reported, but physicians
all over the city are kept busy answering
calls to cases created by alarmists and ner
vous people.
There is a good deal of chicken pox in
the city, and of course every case of this
kind is put down as smallpox by the fam
ily until reassured by the attending phy
sician and even then “old calamity” gets
in his work and makes the worst of it.
The difference of opinion between physi
cians as to the case of Miss Knox still
continues, but the concensus of opinion is
that it is smallpox and there is no doubt of
it. The one case, however, has so far not
communicated itself to any one and so
long a time has elapsed since Miss Knox
was taken that there is really no reason
in the word to look for any more cases.
The foolish rumors about a number of
cases of smallpox in Macon are entirely
without foundation. The Board of Health
has determined to furnish information
promptly to the newspapers and so avoid
the charge of concealing anything.
A rumor was current this morning to
the effect that some of the members of
the Board of Health were considering
sending in their resignation unless coun
cil passed the compulsory vaccination or
dinance.
Investigation showed, however, that the
report is not true and Chairman Barron
said that he had hoard nothing of it and
did not believe that there is a word of
truth in it.
As a matter of fact the members of the
Board of Health feel that they have done
their full duty. They have asked council
to pass the ordinance believing it was to
the best interests of the people to do so,
but council declined, believing also that
it was to the best interest of the city to
take that course.
Time will, of course, tell which was
right. If the disease should spread, the
blame will be on council, if not then coun
cil will be praised, but in any event the
work of vaccination is going on as rapidly
as it would be (possible under any circum
stances.
Chairman Barron said this morning that
upwards of 4,000 people had been vacci
nated in the last week and they still come
in a steady stream.
Smallpox will generally develop in from
ten to fifteen days from the time the con
tagion has been given and the fact that
no new cases have developed since the
first reports were received is particularly
encouraging. It is now twelve days since
Miss Knox went home sick. No case has
been found among her associates previous
to that time or among the members of her
family since then.
Os course of Miss Knox recovers and no
other cases develop it will be hard to con
vince anyone that there has (been a_case
of smallpox in the city, and Dr. Worsham
still sticks to it most positively that hers
is not a case of smallpox.
The other physicians are as positive on
the other side. There is some serious
doubt in the case of the negroes, however,
and theirs may turn out to he simply
chicken pox.
At any rate between vaccination and
isolation the probability is that no further
cases will develop now.
“SWEET SINGER OF ISRAEL”

The address was exceedingly interesting.
Next Sunday Rabbi IMarcussan will de

HERO RAY,
With Stars and Stripes, Defied a Mob at
Fort Yukon.
Dawson City, Yukon River, N. W. T.,
Dec. 11, 1897.—8 y Telegraph, Via Port
Townsend, Washington, Jan. 31. —The par
ticulars of the startling events at Fort Yu
kon, 400 miles down the river, which
reached here today are the sole topic of
discussion,
Philip Lann, one of the couriers, said:
“Captain P. H. Ray, of the Eighth United
States Infantry, heroically placed the stars
and stripes above two provision caches of
the Alaska Commercial Company and the
.North American Trading and Transporta

ning his full uniform _as a United States
officer, dared a big mob of men to attack
the provisions, or fire on the United States
flag. Ray has placed Fort Yukon under
martial law until next spring. Ray has no
soldiers nearer than St. Michaels, 1,080
miles away, his only companion being
Lieuteant Richardson.
Ray has posted notices on both provis
ion caches to the effect that Uncle Sam
controls the grub, and warning ail to keep
hands off. Ray now’ has twenty-five vol

coache of provisions in a frame building, is
five miles down the river, while the North
American Transportation and Trading
Company's coaches of logs is at the sta

Fort Yukon up the river on the ice to
wards Dawson, and there will be five hun

Dawson is out of provisions for new

There are I,oo# white persons at Circle

300 tons of provisions in sight, and many,

Captain Healy, general manager of the
North American Transportation and Trad

quickly, or there will be terrible times in
the Youkon next year. The United States
government should take steps at onee to
place all Alaska under martial law and
send plenty of troops to enforce order.
Otherwise the two trading companies may

Captain Ray's dispatch concludes:
“As matters now stand I am feeding the

No man shall be allowed to purchase more

No More Argument.
n the Light of Existing Fact, Why
Argue?
The great Munyon system-the school
of medic me which is superseding au
Others —has passed the stage where argu
ment is necessary. To the whole coun
try has come the satisfying demonstra
tions of its worth and value, and in every
hamlet, town, and city is to be found
those who have tested the Munyon
Remedies, and are ready to go on record
as witnesses for the truth.
John Burns and his sister live at 140
King Street, Charleston, S. C.. and beta
have been afflicted with Rheumatism for
years, being unable to obtain relief from
remedies or doctors. Mr. Burns says:
“ One bottle of Munyon’s Rheumatism
Cure made a perfect cure in both our
cases. Its curative effect is almost
miraculous. A few doses did more for
us than all the doctors and medicines
we have ever tried. I shall always say
a good word for Munyon.”
Mr. John C. Young, 9* Beal Street,
Memphis, Tenn., says: “ For five months
I suffered continually from Rheumatism
in my right shoulder and neck. Some
time ago I got a bottle of Munyon’s
Rheumatism Cure, and after taking the
litUe sugar-coated pills for four days, I
was completely well. You are at liberty
to use the above testimonial in any shape
you wish, and I will be pleased at any
time to testify as to the great merit of
Munyon’s Rheumatic Cure.”
Munyon has a separate remedy for each
disease, and all druggists sell them. Most

Munyon invites you to write to him, at
1,505 Arch Street, Philadelphia, for free
medical advice.

Another distressing feature of the situa

destitution of neighboring Indians, 300 or
400 in number, who are almost entirely out
of provisions.

HIM £ r EL
P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Ammons, a well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing- in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. I*. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
‘‘l think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
soning in a remarkably short time.
“ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.
