4 1 M ■> • /wsMI HF /. • O-® n 1 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- MITCHELL - HOUSE, THOMASVILLE, GA.

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 playing, Inink of it—my acting put them i to sleep, and some of the .people tied them in their chairs. What will they think ; when they wake? Evidently Madame Mod- 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. » * * Saturday afternoon Mrs. McEwen John ston gave a tea for Miss Mangham in hon lor of Miss Green, of Washington. The beautiful drawing room and dining room were decorated with fragrant pink and white carnations, and Mrs. Johnston was, as always, a charming hostess. She was ■attired in a tea gown of pale blue satin, exquisitely embroidered in delicate flow ers, an importation from Japan. Miss Mangham was daintily pretty in rose colored silk, and ably assisted Mrs. Johnston in making the tea one of the happiest yet given in Macon.

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.

TO THE SUPREME COURT. Macon Lawyers Have Gone to Atlanta to Attend Their Cases There. A large number of the Macon bar left yesterday for Atlanta to attend the ses sion of the supreme court which will take up the Macon circuit this week. There are a large number of cases ap pealed from the Macon circuit, and it will probably take all of this week and part of next to finish the docket. 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” Was the Subject of Rabbi Marcussan’s Lecture Last Night, At the Beth Israel synagogue last night Rabbi- Marcussan delivered his lecture on the “Sweet Singer of Israel.” A large num ber of the members of the congregation were present to hear the eloquent 'Rabbi. The address was exceedingly interesting. Next Sunday Rabbi IMarcussan will de liver a lecture on the (Dreyfus affair in France. This is a live topic, and is sure to be most interesting. 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 tion Company at Fort Yukon, and, don 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 unteers at his back to enforce his authori ty. The Alaska Commercial Company’s 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 tion. There are many men fleeing from Fort Yukon up the river on the ice to wards Dawson, and there will be five hun dred coming before March. Dawson is out of provisions for new comers. There are I,oo# white persons at Circle City and Fort Yukon, while there is hardly 300 tons of provisions in sight, and many, hundred native Alaskans out of food. Harry Davis is She Fort Yukon agent of the Alaska Comercial Company, and John Boggs agent for the other company. The lower Yukon river is reported to be thronged with 2,000 Klondikers and pro ■ visions scarce. Captain Healy, general manager of the North American Transportation and Trad ! ing Company, said to me: “We must act 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 ; be driven from the country, and there will ; be no supplies for anyone.” Captain Ray's dispatch concludes: “As matters now stand I am feeding the destitute that I know are such. All those having money must pay for what they get. No man shall be allowed to purchase more than $l5O worth for an outfit for the bal ance of the year and purchasers must leave the place at once. “This was not a case of starvation, but of premeditated robbery. If you wish to preserve your property, use your influence to have the necessary legislation, so that 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 ly 25 cents a vial. If in doubt, Professor Munyon invites you to write to him, at 1,505 Arch Street, Philadelphia, for free medical advice. troops, when they arrive next spring, can act promptly and unhampered.” Another distressing feature of the situa tion at Dawson City now is the complete destitution of neighboring Indians, 300 or 400 in number, who are almost entirely out of provisions. f \f p* 5 C r? V 11 K gk g i C S' 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.
