4 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.

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.

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.

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 the columns of The News.

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 as charmingly as you" write it in your books?” The lady was a little surprised at the quickness «f the answer, “Ah, madame, if I only had time.

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. EXCITEMEN SALE TIES. 35c elegant goods, Phillips. HALF CENT A WORD.
