At the Current Topics Club meeting
yesterday was broached the subject ot toe
piojtCKU National I niver»ity to oe loun-
Ued at •Va.sfiington, out owing to limited
time, the matter could nor be gone into at
length, and will be discussed at another
«n<eM.ing.
The eetabliwhinent of this National Uni
vsreity at- Wasniugton is a work watch is
« ngagrng the earnest interest of some of
the most premint at women ,n tae Called
Stan a. Perhaps »t i.i not generally known
that the idea oi estabi.suing tula Lniverai
ly uad its origin v.ita George Ve'asaingeon
mmr.eif, and mat in his will he loft |zs,-
ovo to be used for taut purpose. Tnereiore,
■tihe National University, when establish
ed, is io be Tile George Washington Me
morial, and the idea now is to bring the
importance of the university beiore tae
people and <o make February 2 Ard, 1898,
Washington's b.ru.day, lac •‘Offering Day'
of the nation, when iv as.iington s will may
ue read and -a fund secured toward its re
alization. America needs a university well
equipped and largely endowed, for educa
tion and scientific research and it is the
aim of those ini'rested in the monument
to make the National University at Wusn
ington .the grandest scat of learning in the
world. Mrs. 1. S. Boyd, of Atlanta, is a
vice-chairman on the executive board of
the Central Committee for the George
Washington University and has as her as
sociates Mrs. Pn»obe Hearst, of California;
Mrs. Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio; and many
other distinguished women. Mrs. Eikn A.
Richardson, of Boston, Mass., is chairman.
The facts which the executive board would
•have known are these: That George Wash
ington in ills will left a bequest of $25,00u
for the foundation of a National Universi
ty; that Lae bequest would now equal
nearly 14,500,000 it cared for as designa
ted, that this bequest was allowed io lapse
and that the need of a university for re
search and Investigation is nearly as great
as it was a hundred years ago. The com
mittee of one hund-ied leading men in edu
cational circles has the matter in charge
and has rept utedjy brought .it before Con
gress.
The women of the country, recognizing
ithe great obstacle in the fruition of the
wonk to be popular ignorance of historic
fact, have set themselves to arouse inter
est In the bequest and the purpose. To
attain definite results -a definite aim has
been wet. Therefore the committee pro
pose to raise $250,000 for a (Memorial build
ing to be used as an administration build
ing for the National University of the
United States,
The proceeds of the collection taken on
February 22d will be used for this pur
pose. and when the women raise ithe
$250,000 Congress must see that the $25,-
000 lift by Washington is paid with accu
mulated interest.
It is certainly a patriotic object to which
to give, and will be a noble monument to
Washington.

vens, trad' l her report tor the year. L

Sporting News
Os the Day.
An interesting meeting of the Macon
Bicycle Club will toe held at Percy Grif
feth’s on Cotton avenue tonight.
At this meeting it will be decided when
the first race meet will be held in Macon,
and it is expected that Mr. Winters will
have heard from the management of the
Consolidated Street Railway Company, to
whom he has written to get their permis
sion to build a track at Crump’s park.
Though Major Winters has no doubt but
that they will give their consent, it is
necessary to have their official permission.
The track which it is proposed to build
at Crump’s park has already been de
scribed in The News.
It will be arond the lake where the
boats from the chutes went, and will be
six laps to the mile. AL the turns of this
track it will be necessary to make the
track at an angle of 35 degrees.
Lights will be arranged around the
track so that night races can be run in
full view of the crowd. The grand stand
will be arranged on the side of the hili
where the chutes now stand, and at all
times the riders will be in full view of the
spectators.
A small race track such as the one
which it is proposed to build has long
been needed in Macon, and now that it
will undoubtedly be built, racing here will
be greatly increased. Interest in bicycle
racing in Macon has never been very great
from the fact that the spectators who have
seen the races cn former occasions could
not see the riders only as they passed the
grand stand on the old mile track at the
Central City park.
The first meet that will be held in Ma
con will be between the home riders. It
has ion.g been a question as to wbo was
the swiftest man in 'Macon, and it is
hoped to settle this question as soon as
the new track has been finisehd. At pres
ent Arthur Chapman holds the champion
ship for Bibb county, but he has been
challenged several times and has never
consented to ride since he won the cham
pionship at the park lasWssummer. Many
j of the riders claim that Chapman is not
the fastest man by any means, and that
if he will ride it will be found that he
won the championship on a chance.
The Americus wheelmen have issued a
challenge to any amateur riders in the
j state to compete with the riders there for
j a handsome prize. Lynwood Bright, the
[ champion short distance rider of Macon,
' has already stated that he would accept
the challenge if Arthur Chapman did not.
Chapman says that he will not accept it
I as he has not the time to train and run
• the race. Bright is in good condition, and
| should he go down to Americus and ride
j against the cracks, which it is claimed,
i ' are located there, there is no doubt m the
1 minds of his friends here but that he will
come cut. victorious.

810 THE LOWEST
They Wi!l Get the Contract
tor Paving More of the
Streets of Macon,
OSH TWO DTHtTS IS IT.
I i 1-
Two Atlanta Firms Came In, but
Did Not Put Their Prices
Low Enough.
The bids for paving the streets of Macon
| were opened last night at the city hall by
I the Board of Public Works and resulted
j in the practical awarding of the bid to the
, j Georgia Quincy Granite Company as the
■ lowest bidder.
Two Atlanta firms were in the contest.
> The Venable Company’s bid was for $2.59
I cents the square yard, and M. T. Lewman
for $2.66. The Georgia Quincy Granite
der will, of course, be awarded the con
tract by council at the meeting to be held
tonight.
The bids made by both the Venable and
the Georgia Quincy Granite Company’s are
the same as made in reply to the last ad
vertisement for bids on the paving of
Fourth street. The deduction is that the
work is being done at the lowest price at
which it is possible to do it without loss.
Otherwise, as the Venable people are well
aware at what price the work was done
by the Georgia Quincy Granite Company,
• they would in all reason have cut a peg be
low those figures had they been able to
take the contract at a lower price, and, for
| the same reason, the Georgia Quincy
Granite people would have probably bid
lower, in anticipation of what the Vena
bles would do had they been able to do so.
The award of this contract to the Geor
gia Quincy Granite Company means that
the work of paving one block of Ocmulgee
street will proceed at once, or at least that
it will be commenced as soon as Fourth
street is finished, which will be in about a
week or ten days.
But that is not all. The advertisement
under council’s resolution was on an om
nibus order and the Board of Public
Works will now go ahead with the work
of paving such streets as are to be laid
with granite cubes as rapidly as a large
force of hands can do it. As the outlook is
now that most of the streets of the city are
to be laid with these granite cubes the
Georgia Quincy Granite Company has very
probably secured a large contract. Every
one, or nearly everyone seems to be satis
fied with with the granite cubes and the
company is to be congratulated upon the
very excellent work done on Fourth street.

To Jones is Booked for the

“What Happened to Jones,” the largest
comedy success, in these days of munici
pal upheaval, wars and tariff results, is a
good antidote for thought. Broadhurst's
capital farce Which had a three months'
run at the Bijou Theater in New York, and
comes tomorrow night with its splendid
cast, is described by a well known Metro
politan writer as an 18-karat comedy with

ANNA BELMONT.
The company includes such clever play
ers as George C. Boniface, Jr., George
Vvni. Bernard, Reuben Fax, J. iW.
Cope, Cecil Kingston, Harry Rose, Anna
Belmont, Kathryn Osterman, Mattie Fer
guson, Florence Robinson, Mrs. E. A.
Eberle, and Rose Stuart. Boniface han
dles the lines and actions of Jones with a
humor and fineness that makes the part a
delight. Tobe sure he has one cf the fattest
parts ever written for a comedian, but it
isn’t every man who can keep a person’s
jaws on the hinge with his drolleries as a
playing card drummer, 'masquerading as a
bishop and the next minute start one to
gulping down a surprisingly hard lump in
one’s throat. Anna Belmont, who is a big
favorite with theater goers, is one of the
hits of the female members of the compa
ny.
THE GREAT SUCCESS.
When Hoyt's greatest work and most
phenominal success, “A Milk White Flag,”
comes Thursday night, it is but fair ‘to pre
sume that the “standing room only” sign
will be brought into use. Mr. Hoyt is the
cartoonist of the stage, sometimes he
draws with such delicate satiric touch car
icatures of well known types, but in this
instance he works in brood and exaggera
ted black and white, after the fashion of
“Zim” rather than DuiMaurier. In all of
Hoyt’s comedies he satirizes some fad.
In “A Milk White Flag” 'he has Chosen our
■national guard as a target for his shafts of
wit, and in order to be thoroughly up-to
date, the author touches on insurance,
frauds and divoces. The new piece has
proven a great success, and it has been
pronounced by competent critics as being
up to this day this clever playwright’s
master piece; it is full of real humor,
played by a big company of talented peo
ple, staged as none of his other plays
have been, and the music is credited wtih
being tuneful, bright and catchy.
THE YELLOW KID.”
Don’t forget the day and the date on
which “Hogan’s Alley” appears at the
Academy of Music, for there will be a
grand treat awaiting you, and the little
Yellow Kid will be at his best with Gil
more & Leonard’s Company on Monday,

A HANDSOME PROGRAM
Will be Issued for the Next Carnival Held
in Macon in October.
Mr. George A. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Promotion and Publicity of the
Macon Carnival Association, is now mak
ing arangeroents for one of the handsomest
programs ever gotten out in the South.
This program is to be for the next Car
nival which will be held in Macon in Oc
tobei.
All of the work in this program will be
of the finest lithographing, and they will
be sold for a small sum. In these pro
grams, which will be souvenirs, will be
advertisements of some of the principle
industries of the South. When the Carni
val is over a lot of these books will be
turned over to the Chamber of Commerce
and they will be sent all over the North
and West. This will be one of the best
advertisements that Macon has ever had.
The work will not be so much an adver
tisement as it will be a souvenir, and for
that reason will be much more valuable.
JUDGE BARTLETT
Took an Active Part in the Debate on the
Teller Resolution.
In the debate on the Teller resolution
in the House yesterday Judge Bartlett, of
Georgia, and General Wheeler, of Ala
bama, and Congressman Clayton, of Ala
bama, were among those who participated
in ti' 3 debate.
Judge Bartlett created a sensation by
cue Republicans that this very
resolution appeared in the Republican
campaign book in 1896, where it was used
as one of the evidences of the Republican
friendship for silver. It was put forward
then among the measures introduced by
a Republican and supported by Republi
cans.
He bitterly arraigned the Republicans
for their subservience to the moneyed in
fluences wheich secured McKinley’s nomi
nation for him and which, by corrupting
the ballot by the purchase of every pur
shaseable vote, elected him.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Mrs. A. E. Keenan Offers a Word of Ad
vice to Parents.
Editor of The Macon Evening News—
Dear Sir: Much es the perplexity and em
barrassment incident to sending children
away from school could be avoided if all
mothers who have any sickness whatever
in the household would positively forbid
other children from coming on the prem
ises.
It is so -often the case that what is
thought to be merely a bad cold is after
wards pronounced scarlet fever by the
physician. If this rule could be rigidly
adhered to no disease in the city could
spread. Respectfully sugested,

OIL AND MATCHES
Drove the Beast Off the Treo Into the
Brush, Howling.
Fort Jervis, Feb. I—Sam1 —Sam Clark, a hunt
er, north of Williamsport, Pao., was riding
with his horse laden with flour, bacon and
stuff for his hunting cabin when a big
bear walked out of the brush. Cairk says:
“I had no revolver and my rifle had
fallen in the first plunge of the horse. I
barked it up the nearest tree. The bear
commenced to climb the tree after me.
“I had no knife, but luck and a happy
thought helped me. I had a canteen of
kerosene oil about my neck suspended by
a string. I unslung the canteen and pour
ed the raw oil on his head. The oil had
no effect.
“Then I lighted an old letter and drop

The oil took fire. The bear dropped to
mother earth with a howl of pain, and up
went his paws to brush off the fire. Then
down went his nose in the dirt, and over
and over he rolled. Finally, with a roar
of agony, bruin headed for the brush.”

P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Nr. 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. Ail 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. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVSIS HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 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.
“I 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 eases.
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.
