AN ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING HELD.
Chamber of Commerce Form
ally Christened New Quar
ters Yesterday.
INDUCE TRADE RELATIONS
With Cities of the State Will Be
An Important Work to Be
Taken Up.
When president Morrison Rogers, called
■the Chamber of Commerce meeting to or
d< r yesterday afternoon in the new quar
ters there was not a vacant seat in the as
sembly room.
In every respect the meeting was an
enthusiastic one, and one that bodes much
«<xxl for Macon. The possibilities of a well
organized Chamber of Commerce have
been demonstrated in Macon to be of great
magnitude, and it is an institution that
first of all aids the business men. The
Macon business men have begun to appre
ciate this, and the future of the Macon
Chamber of Commerce is bright.
The business .before the meeting was
dispatch, d in a hurry, but none of the
details were neglected, and went to show
that every member of the chamber real
ized that hereafter the institution would be
conducted on strictly business principles.
One of the great steps that the chamber
■will take during the year will be to get
the smaller towns thoroughly familiar
■with the place and busines men here. The
first step in this direction was taken when
it was decided to invite the business men
of iMounltrie, Ga., to came here as guest
of the ■Chamber of Commerce. It was also
decided to appoint a wmmittee of three to
KO to Fitzgerald and establish closer trad
relations with the city. An invitation will
be extended to Captain Gillette, of the
United States Engineer Corps, having in
charge the river and harbor improvements
In Georgia, to visit Macon as a guest of
the Chamber of Commerce at his earliest
convenience, an invitation will also be
extended to Si<rotary Wilson to visit Ma
con while h<- is touring the South.
One of the most important resolutions
was that of Mr. N. M. Block, that the sec
retary be instructed to prepare and have
published descriptive literature and sta
tlsties of Macon, properly setting forth its
-advantages and inducements to Northern
capitalists. This matter has long benn
■neglected iby the business men of the city.
It has been several years since 'Macon has
been properly advert is. d in this way, and
It is believed that it will prove most ben
eficial.
A committee was appointed to meet with
post 1)., T. I’. A. Saturday morning, and in
the name of the Chamber of Commerce ex
tend to them an invitation to join the
chamber and use the rooms for all their
meetings.
The sealpink bill that several members
of the chamber have been trying to get
resolutions passed on, was brought up by
Mr. G. A. Macdonald. The matter was fi
nally disposed of by the passage of a res
olution that the secretary write to Con
gressman ißartlett to support the passage
of the measure if he could consistently do
so.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
Macon News and the Telegraph, and it
was unanimously decided to make these
papers numbers of the Chamber of Com
merce without the payment of dues.
Secretary Ketchum announced that he
lhad received twenty-two applications for
mi nibership, which he would submit to the
board of directors. After this the meeting
Ijourntd.

GOOD PERFORMANCE
Os the "Old Homestead” and Denman
Thompson Tonight at the Academy.
In obedience to the request of a large
number of theatre patrons, who were anx
ious to see Mr. Denman Thompson in the
“Old Homestead” tonight, the advance
prices anonunced for the engagement have
been withdrawn, and regular prices will
prevail.
The "Old Homestead” has be-°n and con
tinues to be one of the most popular plays
ever produced, and one that appeals as
strong to an audience as the ablest ser
mon. Mr. Thompson is recognized in the
East and the North as an actor the equal
of Mr. Joseph Jefferson. The play is beau
tifully mounted with special scenery, and
the double quartet, one of the special fea
tures, is alone worth the price of admis
sion. Mr. Thompson deserves to be
greeted by an audience that should crowd
the theatre.
Hoyt's "A Contented Woman,' is by all
odds the best and most favorably known
plays of all the Hoptian creations. Since
*A Contented Woman” was produced last
reason it has undergone a metamorphosis
and in many respects it is new, brighter
and more entertain by him but lain aside
for lack of leisure when he has had or
could find or make a leisure hour he has
devoted ft to "A Contented Woman.” so
when he came some months ago to begin
actual work on the play the clans were
graphically outlined in his mind and he
had but to find the hands capable of real
izing his really beautiful creation that
seem to the observer and scholar in scenic
music and comedy the acme of that class
of play that Mr. Hoyt has long been iden
tified with.
During the short time ‘A Contented
Woman” has been before the public it has
been universally successful. It is the pur
pose of Mr. Hoyt in reconstructing it to
make the production stand out alone from
all others of thd class in which it so bril
liantly leads and to work an era In the
progress of refined comedy. The cast Is
one of groat excellence. Miss Belle
Archer, who is said to be the most beau
tiful as well as one of the most talented
women on the stage has “been especially
engaged for the title role. Mr. Hoyt has
engaged a company of well known people
whose individual reputation for merit of
a high order promises an able presentation
of his latest and most successful play.
Every piece of scenery that was used in
New York will be carried by the com
pany.

MISS CHEW TO WED.
News Was Received in the City to That
Effect a Few Days Ago.
A letter was received in Macon a few
days ago by one who befriended Miss Chew
while she was in Macon in which it was
intimated that this young lady would wed
Mr. Errickson sometime in the near fu
ture.
Miss Chew will be remembered as the
young lady who was arrested in Macon
while on her way to Albany, Ga., to mar
ry Mr. Errickson, a jeweler at that place.
While she was en route friends of the fam
ily prevailed on them to have the wed
ding stopped, and telegrams were sent
along the route to have Miss Chew de
tained. She was detained in Macon, and
it was afterwards learned that the infor
mation furnished the parents of Miss Chew
which prompted them to have the wedding
stopped, was by some jealous person. Miss
Chew's brother came to Macon, and car
ried her back to her home in Missouri.
While she was in Macon Mr. Errickson,
the gentleman whom she was to wed.
came up from Albany, and it was decided
to postpone the wedding until matters had
been postponed.
The letter does not state when the wed
ding will take place. Mr. Errickson de
clared while in Macon that he would yet
wed Miss Chew if she were willing.

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY io 1898.
ARTISTIC DECORATIONS.
Embellshmeut of Buildings of the Trans-
Mississippi Exposition.
Omaha,
chitectural proportions of the great build
ings ranged along either side of the Canal
Court at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition
challenges the admiration of all visitors,
whose numbers ars increasing from day to
day.
The work of modeling and casting the
figures, panels, medallions and entabla
tures is carried on extensively on the expo
sition grounds. Tons and tons of panels,
Corinthian columns, Grecian pilasters and
spandrels are ranged in order ready for
use as fast as required by the hundreds of
staff workers and building decorators. The
transformation of these great structures
from rough exteriors to realisms of grace,
beauty and dignity produces marvelously
artistic effects.
The broad bands of ornate frieze which
mark the decorative parts of the buildings
are rapidly materializing. On every side
ot the Manufactures building the rich bor
ders above the grand colonades gives am
ple evidence of the beautiful effect con
templated in the reproduction of figures in
harmony with the architectural style. The
large panels between the pilasters will be
devoted to paintings emblematical of the
evhibits. The inner dome will be decorated
in colors, each rip or panel containing a
subject of special interest. Over each col
umn a statue and pedestal will occupy a
domeconspicuous position, the stylobate of
the dome forming the background, an out
er row of dome-columns being detached
and the entablautre being broken around
them at the base. The inner dome is
richly designed with ribs and panels dec
orated in colors. Above the cononades
spacious balconies opening from the inte
rior galleries in the building will afford
a delightful point for visitors, from which
to view the wondrous beauties of the Canal
Court. At either corner of the building
square towers, surmounted by columned
pavilions will serve for electric lanterns.
The ornamental staff want on the build
ings is finished. Allegoric groups of stat
uary of heroic proportions, placed at inter
vals, will enhance the richness of the
exterior decorations and form an Interest
ing study of artistic care in every detail.
The wealth and abundance derived from
agriculture are shown in the richness of
ornamentation in the agricultural building
and the panel work above the principal
columns above the principal columns rep
resenting a bull’s head gracefully festoon
ed on either side with corn, wheat, veg
etables and fruits. The names of those
who have been patrons of agriculture or
who have made notable inventions in this
field of labor will be inscribed upon the
panels in the freize. The great semi-circle
niche forming the main entrance will be
rlghly decorated in color. On either side
of it there will be figures representing the
“Digger” and the “Sower,” taken from
Millet’s famous paintings. These will be
supported on each side by smaller figures
and the coat of arms of Nebraska and the
United States. The spandrels and arches
will be relieved by festoons of corn, beets,
tomatoes,, radishes, potatoes, apples,
pears, peaches and other products, above
which is a figure of Ceres, the goddess of
agriculture.
At intervals there are medallion orna
ments of different barnyard fowls, the
kqystone of the arch of the building repre
senting the figure of an American turkey
in the atikude of challenge. Large me
dallions of the nation’s representative
bird, the American eagle, also appear in
connection with the ornamentation of the
building. On either side of the great cen
tral arch there will be allegorical groups
of statuary, representing the zodiac and
the seasons. The central figure crowning
the whole composition will represent
“Prosperity” supported by the figures of
“Labor” and “industry.” The corner pa
vilions will be appropriately ornamented
with figures representing the seasons and
the favorable winds. The color treatment
applied to the loggias and on the surface
walls wil produce exquisite effects with
the strong shadows falling across it under
sunlight, or in half-lights reflected in the
lagoon as thfe orb of day gradually dis
appears in the west.
On the machinery and electricity build
ing the cresting or acroteria at the top is
composed of cog wheels. The ornamental
spandrels and panels are all suggestive of
machinery, this principle being carried
out in all of the decorations. Machinery
is symbolized by groups of statuary on top
of the building. At each corner will be
placed groups representing man’s early
supremacy over the untamed forces of
nature. The developing of man in sub
duing untamed forces and symbolizing in
a direct way the service of the power of
steam, fire, electricity and gravity will
also be a part of the illustrative sugges
tions in the ornamentation of the ma
chinery and electricity building. The en
tire building will be a series of yellow and
old ivory tones, growing more intense as
they reach the top, culminating in the gol
den statuary full of primitive vigor which
surmounts the whole exterior and sym
bolizes its use.
Much strength and beauty of design is
daily manifested in the artistic ornaments
which are being placed on the Administra
tion Arch. Statuary of heroic size will be
used above the cornice and each of the
pavilions emphasized by symbolic figures.
On the south side facing the lagoon, the
central group will signify “Administra
tion,” supported on one side by the coat
of arms of the state, and on- the other by
the great seal of the corporate city of
Omaha.
At no f ormer exposition held in this
country has the ornamental and decora
tive work of the main buildings and on the
principal promenades beeei so elaborate
and chaste as that now being done in the
Grand Oanal Court of the Trans-Missis
sippi Exposition. With the opening of the
gates of the great show at Omaha in June
next a triumph of its kind will be pre
sented to public view well worthy of the
name of “The Enchanted City.”
You can talk to 10,000 every day through

Saturday afternoon and night the “Pic
ture Play,” Miss Jerry, will be presented
at the Academy, and will be, no doubt,
largely attended, as it is something en
tirely novel and enterestting. “Miss Jerry”
is a love story with a newspaper woman
for the heroine, and several pictures are
shown illustrating her professional inter
views with noted pec-ple. For one of these
pictures Chauncy Depew posed ti his pri
vate office. Those who have seen “Miss
Jerry” on the stage are enthusiastic in
their praise, and say that the photographs
used in the presentation, are so lifelike as
to give the impression of real actors and
actresses. This is one of the series Os
delightful entertainments prepared by the
directors of the Macon Public Library.

At the reception tendered Mr. Marion
Crawford during his recent visit here, a
very charming woman said to him: “Mr.
Crawford, I wonder if you can make love

at the quickness «f the answer, “Ah,
madame, if I only had time. I am forced
to take that next train.”

LEGISLATIVE,
The Crop of Candidates that
Has So Far Developed.
The latest names mentioned in connec
tion with legislative race is that of Mr.
Roland Ellis. This, with Mr. George
Gantt, swells the list to appalling propor
tions and unless there is a weeding out in
the interim the wits of 'the intelligent
voter will be puzzled to make the selec
i:nn.
mire are three vacancies and the list
of candidates put forward by their friends
—not by themselves, for no one has made
an announcement yet—is about as fol
lows:
Hon. S. A. Reid, the present represen
tative, will ask to be sent back and his
friends think that he ought to be accord
ed that recognition of his services, as he
made a good representative in the first
term and he has done his duty.
Col. Joe Hall, who was defeated at the
last election by a few votes only, and who
up to a few hours before the polls opened
had the thing in a sling, says that be was
beaten by the railroad influence because
of his connection as defending counsel in
the Shaw-Criswell trial which was going
on that time. He will ask the voters of
Bibb to say whether they really meant it
or not.
Col. John R. Cooper, more familiarly
known as “Bunk” Cooper, who was a de
feated candidate last time, will make an
other effort and he is a powerful fighter,
with the dogged determination and abso
lute independence that commands respect
and commands votes too. He will make
a horrible fight of it if be goes in and will
give the boys some fun for their money.
Mr. H. V. Washington, formerly re
corder of the city and one of the most
“finished” men in Georgia, is thinking «f
entering the race. If he does so decide he
will make a strong fight. This is by no
means the first time Mr. Washington has
been mentioned, but he has not heretofore
allowed the use of his name -or is it quite
certain that he will do so this time.
Mr. John B. L. Smith, one of the young
er lawyers of Mac-on, would like to see
what politics in Bibb county is like, and
may become a candidate.
Mr. Blanton Winship, another member
of the junior bar, is spoken of, but it is
doubtful if he is seriously considering the
proposition.
Mr. Roland Ellis, above mentioned, will
come into the race with a strong backing
and will be quoted at short odds. Mr.
Bllis is a partner in the firm of Dessau,
Bartlett & Ellis, and this fact alone gives
the assurance that his advisors are “away
up in the pictures” so far as their knowl
edge of the game of politics goes.
Mr. George W. Gantt is not by any
means a factor to be “sneezed at.” He
will enter the running with a backing of
good will of which very few men indeed
can boast. He may be selected as the
candidate of the working element, and
should they settle upon him he will swing
a tremendous vote and will be a long way
ahead of the “scratch” mark in the handi
cap.
Mr. Joe James is another probable labor
candidate, and is one of the best men they
can select, He is a machinest in the Cen
tral shops, and a man of very consider
able force and influence among his asso
ciates.
So far these are the names that have
been most prominently mentioned, and
they make up a bunch from which the
most knowing will find It very difficult
to make a selection for combination bet
ting.
Os course the “trouble” has not com
menced, and the political powers that be
are like unto the Sphynx. There are many
men and many issues and the ways of the
politician are mysterious. But the inter
est is increasing and it will not be long
before the weeding out act will commence
as the crop is entirely too much.
