SHORE ACRES FAILED TO DRAW Macon Put a Slight Upon One of the Finest Attractions Ever Brought Here. MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE Greeted by a Handful of People at the Academy—lndifference that Must Hurt the House. For three hours a bandful of people were entertained at the Academy of Music last night as no audince has been entertained in the bouse this season. The occasion was the presentation of James A. Herne’s “Shore Acres,” in which Herne himself presented the leading char acter of Nathaniel Berry. The pur; st and the most perfect per formance of the sea-son will leave a most pleasant impression on the few theatre goers who had the good taste and the good sense to take advantage of an opportunity seldom offered to a provincial audience. The play is magnificently staged, and notwithstanding the disgracefully small audience, and the long rows of empty benches that greeted Mr. Herne and his splendid company last night, not a de tail was omitted nor an effect blurred by carpless work. From first to last the faithful few, who know a good thing when it gets here, saw the whole play given by the same com pany with the same scenery, the same ef fects and the same properties that has aroused the enthusiasm of the largest metropolitan audiences that have ever greeted a purely pastoral play in this coun try. It would be ridiculous, of course, to en ter into a criticism of the play. The bet ter part would be to criticise the intelli gence and appreciation of the people of Macon who allowed such an atraction to pass unnoticed. Mr. Herne must have carried away with him a poor impression of Macon, and it is dollars to doughnuts that he will not come here again. If there were more such plays as “Shore Acrts.” and moiq such honest and consci entious actors as James A. Herne, the • niious actors as James A. Herne, the I’tagc would not have fallen into its pres ent unfortunate condition of disrepute, nor would the public taste have become de moralized and immorality Jje made the chief feature of the most popular perform ances.' “Shore Acres” is a pretty story with a moral. It would do to tell around the family fireside, and sound well given in the plainest wording. Hut “Shore Acres” as presented by the company supporting Mr. Herne is a play that arouses the best and purest senti ment, it portrays types and paifits charac ter. it gives us a true idea of farm life among the people who live upon the shores of Maine, and in Nathaniel Berry it offers the simple, honest, beautiful char acter of a man, and “every inch a king.” It cannot but elevate the moral tone of an audience, and James A. Herne in his portrayal of this beautiful charac ter does as much, if not more, to help hu manity and forward the cause of honest Christianity than half the preachers in the country. Tears followed laughter and laughter tears last night. 'No man of big heart there but found the touch of nature that brought a lump to his throat, and none dared to smile because tears glistened in many an eye, even after the light had died out in the old farm kitchen on Christ mas Eve. and the dear old man had gone to bed smiting over the happiness of oth ers brought about by his own self-sacrifice. It is to be hoped that no such slight will ever again be put upon an attraction in Macon as that which the Macon people put upon Janu s A. Herne in “Shore Acres.” A repetition of such an audience to such a performance should close the house to any thing but cheap vaudeville and lavish ex hibitions of lower limbs. » STI ART ROBSON TOMORROW. Tomorrow night Mr. Stuart Robson will be at the Academy, and Macon theatre goers will enjoy a delightful treat in his presentation, with his admirable company, of “The Jucklins.” a comedy-drama in tour acts by Augustus Thomas, dramatized from Opie Read’s novel. The story is of rugged pastoral simplicity. It is Ameri can to the core, without a foreigner in it, without a city society woman in it, with out a wicked woman in it, or a dude. “The Jucklins” are a plain North Caro lina people in a.country town, and whilst the play is modelled after that of “The Old Homestead,” and of “Shore Acres,” in bright sayings it surpasses them both. The performance will be in every respect one of the most delightful of the season. and Mr. Robson's reputation is such that theatre-goers can be assured that nothing better will be seen in Macon in many’a day. “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” which can be seen at the Academy Tuesday night and matinee, seems to have the power of' delighting all classes of society. It ran for months at the fashionable Empire The atre after its initial production, and then during the winter was revived at ithe Academy of Music, the largest theatre in New York, where thousands of people were thrilled with the great stockade scene in the third act. Perhaps the judicious ming ling of judicious incident, the flirting and fun that are sure to happen wnen soldiers and pretty girls are thrown together, and the exciting war scenes explain this suc cess with different classes. But even with out its pretty girls and the brilliant ball at Camp Kennion. there is enough Are and stir tn the tremendous stockade scene to fill any audience with enthusiasm, no mat ter whether it is a purely fashionable one or not.

London, Feb. 25. —Queen Victoria is anxious about Mr.-Gladstone, and during his visit in Italy had telegraphic reports of his condition sent to her twice daily. Her venerable majesty—suc-h is the story—has some idea that Mr. Gladstone’s death will ibe 'but a brief forerunner of her own, be cause of a prediction once made to 'her by a fortune teller. Many years ago the queen and the late Prince Albert were out walking together a mile or two distant from the Highland pal ace. They were quite unattended and were passed on the road by a gypsy caravan. Acting on a sudden impulse, Prince Albert hailed the gypsies apd intimated that he and wife would like to have their fortunes told. A tall, gaunt looking mother of the tribe approached them, and, it is supposed with no idea of their exalted rank. The hand of the prince was first offered, but with a hurried glance the gypsy drop ped it and then for a few moments stared into the face of the queen’s husband. “I can tell you of no fortune,” she at last muttered. “You will live with the sun, but the dark will soon deepen.” The queen and the prince laughed, and then her majes ty’s palm was extended. The gypsy woman locked and then fell on her knees. “I am in .the presence of one who is great in this world,” she Piunnured, “and so I give you homage, though I know not wh4tn you may be; your days may be long, but sorrow will not spare you, and when your end comes there will be a falling stone.” No explanation was vouchsafed by the gypsy, and as the rest of the caravan’s inhabitants were beginning to gather around them a liberal dole was bestowed and the queen and prince resumed their walk. Probably the gypsy's words were forgotten until recalled by the death of the prince consort. The allusion to “a fall ing stone” remained a problem, but now it might be solved as having reference to a falling (Glad)stone. DANGER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow its Exces sive Use. Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily and one which is frought With dan ger; moreover the soda only gives tem porary relief and in the end the stomach trouble only gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and eases are on record where it accu mulated in the intestines, causing death by inflamation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlardson recommends as the saf est and sure cure, for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name o-f Stuart's dyspepsia tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and prompt ly before it has time to foment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in ail cases of stomach derangements and Ends them a certain cure not only for sour stomach but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, in crease flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cath artic, but intended only for stomach dis eases and weakness and will be found reli able in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach .AU druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c per package.

Hammond Speaks of Their Richness and Annual Output. New York. Feb. 25. —John Hays Ham mond. speaking of the Transvaal in the Engineering Magazine, said: “In 1892 the main trunk line from Cape Town was pushed forward from its then northern terminus to Johannesberg. The distance from Cape Town to Johannes berg by rail is 1013 miles. In 1894 the road was compk-tc d from Delagoa Bay, a port in Portuguese territory on the southeast coast of Africa, to Johannesberg—a dis tance of 377 miles. “The third road reached Johhannesberg a year later, from Durban, a port in the British colony of Natal, distant 483 miles. “From 23.000 ounces of gold in 18S7, the output has risen to 3.000,000 ounces in 1897, giving the Transvaal the second place in the world’s production. There Is no doubt that the present ourput of the country will rapidly increase, and probably within a few years, notwithstanding the increased output of other countries, the Transvaal “The town of Johannesberg may be taken as a good index of the wonderful ex pansion of the gold mining industry of the district. From a few huts in 1886 it has developed into a town unexecelled, if in deed equalled, in the imposing character of its buildings, by any of the enterprising mining towns in Western America. In dee, Johannesberg has but little of the as pect of an American mining camj. In its general appearance it reminds an Ameri can more of Spokane or Salt Lake City.” FEEL EMBARRASSED. Foolish Remarks Made by Those Who Shake Hands.at the White House. Washington, D. C„ Feb. 25.—There will always’ be something new to the observ ant eye anent a president’s reception. There is perhaps no time or place in which there is such urgent need of quick ness of wit and kindly tact as at the pub lic receptions given by the president of Hie United Slates and bis wife. When a queen receives her subjects the etiquette is fixed and inexorable. No one speaks unless addressed by royalty.. But Americans of all classes crowd into the Blueroom, many with a question or a joke which they have prepared to fire at their unprepared ruler, and they judge by the fitness of his reply whether he is com petent to hold his office or not. Many of them, too, through sheer pm bai 1 assment, make foolish remarks, the memory of which probably causes them misery afterward. One frightened lady assured Mrs. Cleve land, “It is a mutual pleasure to mees you,” correcting her mistake by calling out as she went down the line, “I meant to say the pleasure is all on your side.” Annual Sales 0ver6,000,000 Coxes POE BILIOUS AND NERVOUS DISORDERS such as Wind and Pain in the Stomacn, Giddiness, Fulness after meals.
