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. • • * The ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary met this morning at 11 o'clock at the Public Library. The treasurer, Mrs. Louis Ste vens, trad' l her report tor the year. L was found that the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Hospital Association had made some thing over SBIO since they began their work last April, a marvelously good re cord, as the ladies had thought the would do w< 11 to make $25 a month. The election officers for the coming year took place, and Mrs. Jaques positively re fusing to serve again, Che following were elected: Mrs. Ixrnis Stevens, president; Mrs. J. D. Stetson, vice president; Mrs. Minter Wimberly, treasurer, ami Mrs. B. C. Snttth, secretary. Mrs. Jaques has made a remarkably good presiding officer, and the Auxiliary give her up with regret, tout consider the organization fortunate in having Mrs. Louis Stevens at. its head. Mrs. Stevens as treasurer h-.is worked with Mrs. Jaques, and as her successor, understands the work she is to do.

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. > STRAYED OR STOLEN. *■ A white water spaniel with brown spots * and ears, about 2 years old —answers to > name Prince.

'GEORGIA OUINCY 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. what”haFpened To Jones is Booked for the Academy of Music To morrow Night. “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 out a flaw. y wife 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, the 7th.

NO QUORUM At the Meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Commission Yesterday. A meeting of the local commission of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition was called for yesterday afternoon to receive the re ports cf the committee appointed to so licit subscriptions from the leading busi ness houses of the city and see how much could be raised in Macon to take the ex hibit of the state of Georgia at the Ex position what it should be.

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, A. E. Keenan, Prin. Second St. School. Macon, Feb. 1, 1898. 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 ped the blazing sheet on the bear’s head. 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.” “Coin” Harvey. William Hope (“Coin”) Harvey lectured in Baltimore the other evening. He has recently turned over to the new political the Patriots of America, the entire assets of the Coin Publishing company of Chicago, which he owned, and the value of which wa= estimated at about $28,000. The organization is now in complete con trol of this company, although Mr. Harvey etill has a hand in its management. With the Coin company went the copyrights of all of Mr. Harvey’s works and about 70,- 000 volumes.

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.
