8 SAUNDERS WON'T TAKE THE CREDIT Os Having Returned the Mon ey He Stole at Social Circle. Sffi BE MHO IT And That Some One Has Stolen It— The Question Still Moot as to t the Mysterious Package. Lucius L. Saunders, he man now in jail at Winder charged with the theft of the package containing 14.000 at Social Circle, has confessed to the theft. Saunder’s arrest was brought about in truly sensational fashion. Six months ago he was transferred to Cincinnati, where, at his hoarding house, he met and made friends with a baking powder man. To this man, whom he thought to be a fast friend, he confided his crime and secured a prom ise to stick to him. His friend asked per mission to accompany Saunders to Geor gia, paid all the expenses of the journey, together with a guard in a hotel. When he reads this article Saunders will receive his first intimation that his friend was one of Pinkerton's shrewdest men, who never left Saunders' side until he was safe in the custody of the Walton county officers. Saunders failed to give bond and is now in jail. His trial will be held at the February term of court, beginning the 21st. Now comes one of the straugeat features of the remarkable story. Saunders, after confessing and saying he was willing to make every reparation in his power and suffer any just punishment for his crime, emphatically denies that he was the per son who sent the package of $3,700 to the express company. The officers of the com pany and the detectives who are at work on the case are inclined to believe this taking away from himself the credit he might have been given for making tho restitution. H< says that, after he took the money he really intended to return it, but was afraid to do so, and so let it remain hidden for several weeks. His story, as told to the company officials, is about as follows: "I own that I took the money, and after I had secured the money I immediately felt htat I hal an elephant on my hands. I n.t once determined to return it at the earliest possible moment, but was afraid to do so. So I hid it in the woods. Several weeks afterwad I went to the place and was astonished to find the money gone. That Is all I know about the money until I saw In th>> papers thht somebody had re turned $3,700 to the express company. I don’t know who sent that money and I can’t say whether or not. it was a portion of tho money I took. It may not be.” Thic statement coming on the heel of a full confession makes the story assume a new and decidedly Interesting turn. From what Superintendent Hulbert said yesterday afternoon it is probable that the detectives will continue to look for the person who sent the mysterious package. The location of the spot where Saunders said he hid the $4,000 would not be given for publication. Ohl People.

The opportunity for making returns is over and the work of the assessors now commences in earnest. Their report on the assessed valuation of the city of M-acon will not be ready until about the middle of March, and the result will be looked for with considerable inter est by everyone in Macon. It is expected that the assessors will be exceedingly strict in their work and an effort will be made to include in the list a much larger list of people who should pay their taxes than now do so. This means that personal property will be looked after and the returns will be much more closely investigated. Gloves. Hot kiuds. Phillips. PREPARING TO RETURN.

It is alleged that she armed herself with a pistol and went to look for him. Stripling says that when she saw him she called him out, but he saw that she was armed and was also mad so he refused to go. . Mrs. Smiley is the wife of the yard foreman of the Southern railway, and the case is attracting considerable attention. THE TI'P WAS STRAIGHT. Noised Around the Capital That Tom Al len Would Not Hang. The tip in The News a few days ago to the effect that Tom Allen would receive mercy at the hands of the pardoning board is verified by the rumors afloat around the capital in Atlanta. A gentleman came down from Atlanta this morning and said that he had heard from very liable sources -that the case had been decided favorably to Allen and would be made public in a day or two when it was reported to the governor. The report of the board may be made public at any moment. IRREPRESSIBLE HUMOR. Postmaster at Dawson is Evidently a Very Jolly Wag. A few’ days ago a prominent real estate man of Macon wrote to the postmaster at Dawson and asked the address of a gen tleman in that county who owned some property in Macon which was about to be sold for taxes. The fellow who hads out the mails there is evidently a humorist of the first water, as his reply would indicate.

MACON NEWSJTHURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3 1898. fy^’cLV— r > > pg.ga £ aX * ru* One of the meat admirable attributes i tha-r a woman can possess, aceord’jg :o : the masculine views, is pluck. You feel that a man has a sincere admiration for one of th' opposite sex when he says with an honest ring in his voice: “She ’s a plucky little woman.” And he does ,ui he can to encourage her and make the burden less heavy to carry, for if the Lord helps ' them that help themselves, it is equally true that mankind follows the hign ex ample to the letter. When a woman is gritty she is thor oughly so, and keeps up under trying cir cumstances fighting off mental and bodily - ills which, without meaning detrimental ) / z I I e I w V \\\ 0 I t \ \\\u WOOL AND VELVET COSTUME FROM HARPER’S BAZAR All through the winter as well as the spring and summer wool costumes are con sidered the smartest for street wear, and i t is surprising to see how many different fashions are continually appearing, which are, each and al Idistinctive. Just at pres ent the long poionaise or redingote effect is more in favor than the short blouse which has been so much the style for some months. Another point about the new gowns is that they are most elaborately trimmed, either with braiding, fur or vel vet. One gown which is exceedingly becoming and effective is made of cloth of dark grey color. The skirt is of medium length and is trimmed with machine stitching and a darker shade of velvet. The waist has do üble revers which at the back form capes over the shoulders. These are of the velvet of a very much deeper shade. The front of the waist is extremely odd, made with a shaped plastron of cloth which is cut so as to give long and becoming lines to the figure. This is a desirable feature and one not always easy for the amateur dress maker to attain, and here the cut tissue paper pattern of this gown issued by Harper’s Bazar, wher is appears, will be found very useful. The belt is of velvet and the color is also of velvet, while at the back of the neck is three tiny ostrich tips. Any dull effect the velvet might have is ob viated by being lined with white satin. The buttons are of velvet and the way in which the velvet is put on the skirt is decidedly new and quite unlike anything that has been seen before. to the stronger sex, we must add paren thetically, would cause a man to succumb ■at the outset. She struggles along, and -before the world is brave and cheerful, making light of the worries that in reali ty eating out her very soul. But when the necessity for wearing the mask is laid aside and she can hide away in some little corner where naught but af fection and tenderness can enter, what is she then? A woman through and through, helpless, clinging and without a vesl’ige of of those go-ahead qualities that have given her the reputation for pluck. Woman’s nature dosn’-t change, even though the need of money or the desire for fame urges her out into the hurry and worry of that side of life so different from the en circling protection of the home circle. She may appear indifferent to outsiders, but she is not really so. She may show a pair of bright, keen eyes, that look as though their brilliance never could be dimmed by tears, and yet the struggle may sometimes prove too much, and in the se clusion of her room all the pent up trouble I -will find vent in such a fit of weeping as ' would astonish those who think they know I her best, but who in reality know her so little. Ah, plucky little woman! It tikes a wo man to read your hearts, to ferret out that inner life hidden so far beneath the sur face, and it is a woman’s earnest sympa thy for you voiced in the one honest: “God help you.”—Philadelphia Times. ♦ » » Mrs. W.

The mere sight and touch of the soft, sweet, cooing, crowing little creature is a solace for many sorrows. This happiness is missed if either mother or child be sickly, weak, nervous, cross. If either is so, it is the mother’s fault. She has failed to keep herself well and strong during the period of gestation, and the neglect shows in her baby. All the peculiar ills of womankind are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It relieves pain, allays inflammation, stops debilitating drains, strengthens and vitalizes the organs involved. It so perfectly pre pares a woman for the time of parturition that pain and danger are practically elim inated. By its use perfect health is assured for both mother and baby. It is the most marvelously efficient medicine ever devised for this purpose and the only one that may be absolutely depended upon. Mrs. Amafida Ellison, of No. 2100 Boonville St., (Station A), Springfield, Mo., writes: "I am happy to say that I followed your advice and took your ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ before my fourth child was born, and I got through all right.

There is a good reason for it. | The New England Conservatory of Music did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond pianos in preference to other makes. There is a reason for it. It was not merely good luck that led nearly two hundred of the most prominent musical and educa tional institutions in the country to se lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result of careful investigation and sound rea son. There are good sound reason why you should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if you are going to buy a piano. The reputa tion of the makers for liberal and fair dealing is your safeguard. The important patented improvements found in no other piano is another reason for deciding in its favor. But it is the watchful and pains taking care that follows every piano from start to finish, and the conscientious and intelligent attention given to even the smallest details of construction that is the reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can be depended upon to give the best results and the best wear.
