MISSION WORK.
Report of What is Being Dene at the First
Methodist Church. *
The February number of the First
Street Church Messenger Is being sent onit
today, .and in the number are some valua
ble facts concerning the mission .work that
as being done by the First Street Meth
odist church Mission Society.
The report of the mission .ociety shows
that fnrm January 7 to February 1 155
homes had been visited. In these homes
there are 317 children. Os this number 165
are in Sunday school, 112 more are old
enough to go to Sunday school.
In sixty-tour of these families both pa
rents are church members; in sixty-nine,
one parent is a member of some church;
In thirty-two both parents are not of the
church and unsaved. ■ Some of the latter
are not wholly indifferent to their spiritual
well being, having expressed a willing
ness to have cottage prayer meetings in
their homes.
When tlie night school for the boys and
Kills who worked In the factories was es
tablished twelve pupils were enrolled. Now
there are twenty-nine attendants upon the
tmhool. A number of the young ladies in
the church have expressed the desire to
take places as teachers in the school, and
soon as the attendance will warrant it
st he number of teachers will be increased.
In the column devoted to the Door of
Hope the following appears:
Two girls at the Door of Hope joined the
Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society at
Its last meeting. They are earning their
money for dues by doing the washing for
the home.
. East fall at an earnest missionary ser
vice one of the girls gave her only gold
breastpin as an offering to missions.
Encouraging letters h|ve been received
from Bertha Ehrenrich, who, after being
five months at the home, returned to her
mother in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.- She sent
grateful messages of love to the managers
of the Door of (Hope.
Stella Woodward has w’ritten for her
church letter, and says she is teaching in
a Sunday school, and earns 67% cents a
day working in a factory.
First church ha's done a worthy part in
ihe malntenace of the Door of'Hope.
Twenty dollars a month are paid by this
church, and it is gratifying to find the in-,
tereat manifested in the welfare of rhe
■home as the directors ’(or, as somebody
calls them, the collectors) go each month
for ft o contributions. These contributions
range from five cents to one dollar a
month.
There are many In our church who do
. not contribute, and we want to give each
one an opportunity to help this noble
cause.
Through the courtesy of Mr. A. A. Cord
son, seventy-four pounds of cotton have
been given to the Door of Hope this month.
Mr. Richmond, superintendent of Mill'No.
2, kindly exchanged it for cotton batted*
and rolled. This will be made into com
forts by the girls for the horns.
Do you not wish to give ten yards of
calico for a covering to a comfort?. If so,
send it at once to Miss Philibar.

ENUMERATORS
GOING JO WORK
A Meeting Will be Be Held
Tomorrow at the Office
. Board of Education.
SPECIFIC INSTPUCTIONS
Will be Given to the Force of Enum
erators by Prof. Abbott—Out
line of the Work,
The school census enumerators will
commence their work next week. The enu
merators will make a complete canvass of
the entire city, and some valuable school
statistics will be collected by them.
Explicit instructions to the enumera
tors will be given by Superintendent Ab
bott tomorrow, and when the reports are
made the officials will have in their pos
session the best and'most complete array
of figures relating to Macon’s schools
which has ever been printed.
A census of the kind has not been taken
for years, and the whole school statistics
will be corrected and brought up to date.
The enumerators wiilga ther information,
and report as to the number of schools,
white and colored, in each ward of the
city, the value of each school house, the
value of school supplies, such as maps,
charts, desks, and the like, and the num
ber of private schools also. They will re
cord the name of each child, residence,
sex, whether blind, deaf and dumb, and
whether they can read and write, and who
have never attended a public school, and
who have never attended any school, will
be reported by the enumerators. The num
ber of idiots will also be ascertained.
The enumerators have been instructed
to secure the name and address of each
child between the ages of 6 and 18, and
to secure 'the same information as to the
colored race as to whites,
The enumerators will be required to sub
mit their returns io the Board of Educa
tion, and subscribe to an oath as to their
correctness. If the State Board of Edu
cation should have any doubt as to the
accuracy of the returns the board has pow
er to order another enumeration, in which
case the first enumerator will receive no
compensation for his work. The enumer
ators are paid $2 per day.
A census of a similar character is being
•taken throughout the state, and 'Professor
Glenn and Assistant Woodall have been
very busy recently arranging the work.
Thousands of blanks have been printed and
sent out to the different counties, and
great care is being taken to insure a re
liable and complete return of the census
work. The Boards of Education in the
cities and counties have been given in
structions as to the work.
The returns from the entire state must
be in the hands of the state school com
missioner not later than June 1.
The general school appropriation appor
tionment will be based this year on the
returns of the census. Each county and
city will be allowed an appropriation ac
cording to the school population.

Story That Ought to Fit Our English Spar
rows.
Fresno, Cal., Feb. 25.—'Fresno can of
fer to sister cities a recipe for the sparrow
pest.
A picture representing the head of a
bird, seared and almost denuded of flesh,
•four legs—two of them with talons tightly
gripping a wire—a piece of vitrified quartz.
These vestigese are all that remain of two
eagles that ventiured to alight on high
potential transmission lin of the San Joa
quin Electric Company, of Fresno, Cal.,
which makes a 10,000-volt circuit.
It seems that one day when the trans
mission plant was running with its. usual
serenity, one of the transmissions devel
oped a dead short circuit, .and there was
trouble along the line and a cessation of
service in Fresno. When the lineman who
went out to ascertain the cause of the in
terruption and repair the broken circuit
had gone over nearly thirty milese of line
they came to the break and the explana-'
tion of which lay before them.
This consisted of the scant relics of two
gray eaglees—merely one skull and four
feet and parts of two legs. Two of the
talons clutched the line wire and were
burned to a crisp, .but the other two fee't
and pairs of legs were free from the
marks of roasting. Not a vestige of the
bodies or feathers of either bird, nor the
head of one of them could be found. An
other interesting proof of the terrific heat
of the electric arc which they had evi
dently been instrumental in causing was
picked up. •
It is supposed.that the two eagles alight
ed on differed legs of the transmission
current within such close proximity to
each other that they actually came into
contact, and in so doing formed a short
circuit, which not only dissipated them for
the most part, in blue smoke, but threw
the wires into short circuits and burned
them off. '

MADE A HUMAN SAIL.
The Maine Disaster Recalls the Samoan
Hurricane.
The disaster which .befell the Maine in
■Havana harbor recalls, by its awfulness,
the huricane of Apia harbor, Samoa, in
which a Cincinnati man, Lieutenant Com
mander R. M. G. Brown, brother to Post
master Brown, with herioc presence of
mind, saved the lives of hundreds of
American sailors, says uhe Cincinnati Post.
Liuetenant Commander Brown was the
navigating officer of the Trenton, the larg
est vessel in the Apia horbor at uhe time
of the hurricane. There were more than
four hundred sailors* aboard her. Waves
were fifty feet high, with 'spray twenty
feet higher. The Trenton, in the terrific
gale which permitted no sail to be spread,
was drifing oa to certain doom on the coral
reef.- The men aboard (her were either
cursing or kneeling on the decks praying.
In these terrible moments, Brown, whose
was the only voice that could be heard in
the uproar, issued the order: “All hands
into the rigging and make a human sail!”
He was obeyed and the vessel was saved
Not only did he save his own ship, but he
was the rescuer of theseeminly doomed
crew of the Vandalia, and American ves
sel which had sunk and whose crew were
clinging to the masts, which still protru
ded above the water.
Brown had the Trenton steered so that
she grazed the Vandalia, and as the Tren
ton swung around the stranded sailors cf
the sunken vessel dropped on the decks of
the Trenton. About forty of the Vanda
lia’s crew had fallen into the sea and had
been drowned before the others were thus
rescued,
The Trejjtpn passed on and was beached
on the shore of the harb&r.

Mr. Phil Stephans, who is chief jailer
for Bibbb county, has eonipiltd some very
interesting figures from the books of the
jail and makes a showing which, possibly,
no other jail in the country can compare
to.
In the past eighteen years 16,000 pris
oners have been placed in the Bibb county
jail; and out of that number there is but
one escape that has never been captured,
and that is the man Johnson who escaped
at the same time with Tom Allen and
others.
The increase of prisoners every year at
the jail has been on an average of ten
per cent, and the percentage is growing
larger every year.
The prisoner Johnson, who is still at
large, did not belong to Bibb county, but
was onlyy here for safe keeping from
Dodge county.
HQ.W DO YOU WALK?
Character of a Person Truly Shown by the
Gaft.
ptetir.acy is indicated by the slow, heavy
■and flat-footed style of walking, while
miserliness may be suspected from short,
nervous and anxious footsteps.
Turned-in toes generally ehara : t .'rize
the absent-minded, and a stoop the stu
dious and eeply reflective, whose thoughts
are anywhere rather than with themselves.
* Sly, cunning people walk with a noise
less, even and stealthly tread, resembling
that o fa cat. A proud person generally
takes even steps, holds the figure upright
and the head a little back and turns the
toes well out.
A gay and volatile person trips lightly
land easily, n sympathy with his or her
nature. Character is shown by all sorts
of odities in gait.
Quick steps denote agitation; slow steps
cither long or short, suggest a gentle and
contemplative turn of mind.
A Straight Line.
•'A straight line is the shortest distance
between two points. /Geometrical Defini
tion.) A telephone line is the quickest
and most satisfactory means of communi
cation between two points. (Commercial
fact.) First point—The toil system of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company affords the means of holding pri
vate conversation with your correspon
dents in Atlanta, Rome, Newnan, Griffin.
Columbus, Opelika. Americus, Albany
Athens and intermediate towns, and gives
all the advantages of personal interviews
without the expense, fatigue and incon
venience of traveling.
Second point—A night rate has been
established and connections between the
hours of 6 p. m. and 8 a. m. can be had at
nne-half of the day rates.
