TENT UP, ALL IN READINESS. Elks Are Duly Waiting for Saturday to Come to Pull Off the Grand SOCIAL EVEN! OF THE SHM The Attendauce Will Be Tremen dous—Nearly All of the Boxes Have Been Sold. Everything ig now In readiness for the grand *ociai circus which the Elka will pull off on Saturday, and the event bids fair t* eclipse any thing of the kind ever given in Macon before. The scheme of giving a social circus is not an original one with the Macon Elks, for it has been worked in several instances bofore, but has always proven a great suc <-et:K. its first success is from Uhe fact that there are well known local characters on the program. Such will be the case witli the Elks circus in Macon. The big tent which Is being pitched for Hoti. William J. Bryan's speech tonight Is where the circus will be held, and with the exception of the* crowd that will <issenitol< to 'hear Mr. Bryan t ie largest number of people that lifii ever ass. tnokd on that block will b<> present. There will be not only a tr< mendous crowd of Macon people, but hundreds of vi.ut-.r, . AH of the rail roads have granted reduced rates, and for mihs around the people will take advan tage of them. Seteral lodges in dlffcren, parts of the State Will attend in a body, and will oc cupy conspicuous placed in the parade. Yesterday afternoon the gentlemen who will do the bareback riding for the circus were at Central City park, where the Har ris Nickel Plate dhows are now situated, practicing for the coming event. All of these riders are daring, and some of their feats of hor;a manship will oe won derful. On the morning of the 12th, at 8 o’clock, n meeting of all the lodges in the state ■will be held in the Elks' headquarters in (Macon, for the purpose of adopting a new ritual. Tiie circus parade will commence to move about noon. It will be headed by the .Macon lodge, all members in uifiform. Then will come the visiting Elks and the rest of tin proces.-ion. It has been decid ed to have only two bands, Card’s famous military band and the regular circus hand W ith tins, two excellent musical organi ganizations music enough can be furnished for any parade. All during the day the Elks will keep often house a.'t their lodge rooms, and r< fit sbnit fils will be served to all visitors. Manager Harris, of the Harris Nickh Plate .ohc'.vs, says that he lias everything in whip shape for his part of the program. He has secured some of theflnest circus talent in the country, and outside of the fact that tin* Elks themselves will give a show that is well worth the price of ad r mission, ihe regular perfe.manee will be most excellent. 'bhe performance will commence promirt ly at 2 o’clock an I the present indications are that there will not lie standing room under the tent. There are SOO reserved scats and fifty boxes. Nearly all of the boxes have been taken, and a "large number of the reserved seats have been disposed of. The aale of tickets is going steadily on. All of the offices of the circus will be filled by Elks. 'I icy will sell and collect tickets, sell lemonade, peanuts, popcorn and have complete control of everything. 'I i< re will be two performances. Ont In the afternoon and one at night, and a eonct it after t ach pt rformanee. Messrs. l»an Hall anil Rudolph Dennick have com pli te ('.large of the program tor the con cert. which in tire-- success. Tile Elks have entered into the circus Io make it one of the grandest things ever pulled off in the south. Tiey will use the paraphernalia of the Harris Nickle Platt Railroad Shows, w'licit have been greatly enlarged Cais y. ar. The ni .cAci ment of the shew has tendered to the Elks the usu of their tents anil other paraphernalia, and also tin services of their own performers. Invitations have been issued 'to every lodge jn the state, and there will be hun dreds of visitors here The grand street parade ami pageant wll begin to move nt noon on March 12. Os ail the magnificent street pageants ‘that have ever passed over the streets of M t con this will be the grandest. Blazing in brilliancy. marvelous in ineoh.inlsin, stu pendous and sublime in conception, sights to <lelight and astonish ai once. Those who jnlsH It will always regret it. Proft.-sor E. 1.. Martin, who was elected to go in front of the parade and hold up the wires for the tall band wagons anil cages to pass under, says that he will b< unable to net in tills capacity, and. in fact, will not lie able to appear in t.ie paradt nt all. ns he ha be. n given a part of th; program with which he is not as familial as hi should l>e. find it will take all of his time in prai tiring for it. The managt - niei t insist thn't he give k!u\skirt dance which made him famous in the vaudeville world, and though it has been some time rance be attempted those matveious crea tions. he says he thinks he will be ablt to master it by March 12. The goods for the skirt are being made up at the factory now. To avoid the el-ctrio light wires the pa rade will confine itself to those streets where there are no wires. This has been decided on at the request of the ci!'- au thorities. . There will be two mammoth brass bands In the process.on. They will both be under the direction < . Professor Card. At fust there was some objection to such music, •bu't this was mini overruled, as it was .proven that it would at least be necessary to have a band to every mile of the parade, and it has been estimated that it will be a little over twelve miles, long. I’t would be impossible* to describe all the marvelous features in this parade. There will be several droves of real Elks, cows, sheep, etc., from Dodge county, genuine goats from Jones county, and in the cages will be sem some of far most marvelous captures of the men sent out by the man agement of the menagerie. Chickens, ducks, pigions, to say nothing of the rab bits from the banks of the Ocmulgee, and wood r.i s from Fort Hawkins. It is estimated that it wil take the pa rade three hours to pas a given point, and while the spectators watch in breathless excitement, light lunches will be served to any of rhe saloons. Immediately after rhe parade the visitors will repair to the eiycus grounds, where the different officials will direct them to ■the ticket windows and lend them every service possible—tout no money. The handling of a crowd such as will attend the circus is no small matter, and it will take all the ingenuity at 'the com mand of the superintendent of the beer wigons to accommodate the people. Instead of giving rhe slack wire per formance to which he was assigned. Mr C. R. Wright has decided to make the bal loon ascension, as he is more familiar with “high lonesomes.” A decidedly new and novtff feature of the parade will be the substitution of Church Berryman for the steam calliope. He will be placed in a one horse wagon, and his risibles operated by George Macdonald with selections of tois hates: funny successes. There are very few human calliopes such as Mr. Berry man. There is a melancholy sweetness in the dulcet tones of his playing.

PUMMTION Only a Few Weeks Until Ma con Will Have High Pres ure and Plenty of Water INSURANCE RATES CUT In Consequence of the Increased Water Supply—A Magnificent Water Plant, The work on the new waterworks pump ing station up -the river has progressed to such a degree now that it is only the ques tion of a week or two until the plant is completed, and Macon will be using water from one of the finest pumping stations in the 'South. it is expected by the insurance men that when the new plant gets into operation the rate for '.Macon will ibe lowered, as the low pressure here haS been one reason why ■the rates are 'high. The inadequacy of the present supply has ben demonstarted on several occasions. The new pumping station will embrace all the latest and improved machinery for such purposes, and* will toe a splendid example of ithc skill of modern engineers. The two monster ten million gallon re servoirs were completed some time ago, as were the wells. The pumping and boiler rooms are rapidly nearing comple tion, and the machinery is on the ground ready to toe placed in position. From the Ocmulgee Pairk club house to the waterworks station is just about a mile, on a straight line to the river. A large ten-inch main will be run from the pumping station to the Intersection of Cot ton avenue and New street, in the city, and the contract of the water company with the Ocmulgee Land and Improve ment iCompany provides that the water company shall open and .improve a street along it-he line of pipe between the river and the club house, which will give an unlntcrupted view of the river. it is interesting to note the precautions the company is making to keep the water clear, and also to keep up the supply under any and all conditions. They have several pumps with an aggre gate capacity of 10,500,000 gallons per day, and have reserved a place *£or another large pump should the city’s continued growth demand it. As 'the present con sumption of the patrons is only three million gallons per day, it will be seen that a very good margin is left for future increase of demand. The water is first let into a large basin or sink, whiciv is ibuilt up from a solid foundation about six or eight feet below the river bottom. The walls of this basiu are made of heavy timbers so constructed ■that no amount of freshet or wind could dis-Uu'b it, and the heavy timbers, besides being interlocked at their ends, are weighted down by huge piles of rocks 'built upon the inside of the crib. This inclos ure protects the basin from trash, fishes, or other objectionable matter, and the wa ter flows from this basiu or crib into the first well, a hundred yards from the river bank. A large main or pipe conducts the water from the basin into the well by gravity, being lower at the end where the well is titan at the river. In the well is a huge pump which throws the water up through two large mains or pipes to a couplsof immense basins built of earth and cement. Each of these basins hold two and a half million gallons of wa ter. Os course, when the water gets into the basins it is as muddy as when it flowed in the river bed. but it is slowed to remain there twenty-four hours to settle. Alum is thrown into the basins so as to help calrify the water. A gate connects the two .rrasins. so that either of them may be cleaned ou; and the mud wa-ii<d off from the bottom and sides every week or so. M hen one is being washed out in this way the other is used for the water supply, but hose and all .the appliances arc arranged so that the work of cleaning the basins Joes not consume much time, and the two basins will be constantly and steadily in use. The water is taken by means of other pipes front these two basins of either of them to filters, which are large barrel shaped concerns about twelve feet in di ameter, filled with layers of sand, gravel, etc. intende to catch and hold every parti cle of mud that might be in the water when it comes from the big basins, and even will take the yellow stains out of the water, which is then run into what is called the clear water well. The clear wa ter well is connected with pipes which run to the city and furnish the consumers with their water. All parts of the plant are set several feet above the highest water mark that the swollen river ever made, and every piece of machinery has a duplicate, so that there can never be a necessity for shutting off the city's water supply. If anything should happen to ithe filters the witer can be turned directly from the big basins into the city mains. If anything should hap pen to both of the big basins, the water can beturned into the filters or the clear well, and be sent into the city without having one through the basins. Within a short time Waterville will be abandoned by the waterworks company, and al! of the company forces will be tr.insftrcd to the new station. t’nder the city contract with ithe com pany it is generally conceded that the company cap deny any citizen a connec tion with the mains, if they so desire, but this was never done except in cases i-be mains were found too small for the demand on them. Now that the plant ,o a.ge and so complete, it will perhaps never again be necessary fcr the companv to use this great power of denying a cit izen the use of water from the main near est his premises. beßt advertise la *ll the HERO OF THj_ MAINE. The Story of a Gallant* and Big Hearted Ghaplian in the Disaster. 11 FATHER JOHN" CHADWICK. Loved and Trusted by His Ship mates, Proved Himself of Their Confidence. From the New York Herald. After Captain Sigsbee, the man who seems to have attained a heroic figure in the incidents of the tragedy of the de struction cf the Maine is the chaplain. Father John P. Chadwick. All accounts agree that he showed himself-fully equal ;o the most exacting demands of the emer gency. He was one of the last to leave the vicinity of the wreck, and only sought the shore when there was apparently no furth er possibility of rescuing another of his ’.veil beloved “boys.” In the hospitals he was tireless in comforting and helping the wounded and in consoling and making ready fcr their last voyage the gallant men whose lives were sacrificed in the awful calamity. His was the central figure of the imposing obsequies of the honored dead. He saw to it that each body re ceived the proper marks of identification and that each grave could be hereafter specially located. in addition to all this, the remainder of Father Chadwick’s time was chiefly spent at the Machina dock, where the mangled and battered bodies of the dead were drawn ashore, seeking, amid the most re pulsive and forbidding environment, the smallest sign for identification, and the last sad mementos for the loved ones far away. He has indeed proved himself an ideal “sky-pilot,” to give him the familiar sea title of his calling. But in this’there is no surprise for the legion of the clergyman’s friends and ad mirers in this, his native city. The record only realizes the estimate they long since formed of him and predicted of his career when he accepted his commission in the navy at President Cleveland’s appointment in March, 1895. Although more than forty per cent of the men in in the service are Catholics, of the twenty-nine chaplains of that church. The majority of the chaplains are Bap tists. The navy department' takes no cog nizance of religious belief. According to an absurd and anomalous custom, it as signs the chaplain to his station without any regard for the doctrinal bias of the men. The chaplain is merely one of the ship's company, just aS there must be en gineers, lieutenants, et al., in it. Hence the place was generally used to give fat berths to ministers of the denomination most in favor during the current adminis tration. r A chaplain ranks as a lieutenant. For the first five years he draws $1,500 a year for shore duty, SI,BOO a year for sea pay and $1,200 while awaiting orders. His rank and pay increase with his years of service. Xfter five years he gets $2,800 a year, and lie can retire with the allowance of his rank at the legal age limit. A glance at the naval register would seem to show that many of the chaplains had long terms but very little sea'service. Those who have families are naturally averse to the separation it would involve and the mo notony of the very 'rivjal duties life on board ship would mean for them. One chaplain’s name, for instance, was on the pdy roil-for twenty-five years, with only three years’ sea service; another, ranking as captain, with $1,500 a year pay, had six years at sea during twenty-seven A third, retired as commodore at $3,700 a year, had only seven years sea-going in the total'of fifty of his service, wh’le a luckier fifth had no sea record at all dur ing a thirty-four years’ term. The injustice of denying to Catholic sailors, who form so large a portion of the navy, the ministrations of priests of their own faith was seen in 1887 by President Cleveland,,who appointed the Rev. Charles Parks as the first Catholic priest to re.- ccive a chaplain’s commission in the navy. He was the chaplain of the Vermont, at the navy yard, for three years; then was detained to the Philadelphia and is now aboard on the San Francisco. The second priest appointed was the Rev. W. H. I. Rainey, whose father had also served in the navy. He went to sea at once, and was for several years on the Asiatic station. He is now attached to the Vermont at the Brooklyn navy yard. The thjrd and last Catholic chaplain is the hero of the Maine episode, Father Ch id wick. He was broken into his duties at the navy yard by Father Parks, and joined the Maine when she was put in commission and served with her ever since. . Father Chidwick was born in St. Ga briel’s parish, East Thirty-seven street, this city, thirty-four years ago. His fath er, the late John B. Chidwick. who died a short time after his son’s appointment as chaplain, enjoyed the distinction of serv ing the Union in both army and navy during the civil war. His mother is still a resident of the upper section of the city. He has one brother. William B. Chidwick. who is in business here, and a sister, who is a nun in the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Peterboro, Canada. Y’oung Chidwick grew up under the watchful eye of the founder of St. Gabriel’s the venerable Father William H. Clowry, well remembered as one of the pioneer priests of the parochial school, where he had the Christian Brothers as his instruc tors. He was an apt and diligent pupil, and. though loving his books," was equally eager to participate in all the boyish sports and ventures of his comrades. When he had finished his term in the parochial school he was sent to Manhattan College, whence after the usual classical course, he receiv ed his bachelor's degree, and was gradu ated with the class of ISS3. He then elect ed to give himself to the.service of the Church, and being received as a diocesan student went to make his theological stud ies at St. Joseph’s Seminary, Troy. These were completed in the subsequent four years, and he was ordained a priest by Bishop ■ McNeirny on December 17, 1887. Archbishop -Corrigan then assigned him for duty as an assistant to the Rev. Chas. H. Colton, rector of St. Stephen’s Church, East Twenty-eighth street, where he re mained until his appointment to the navy, March 25, 1895. When r asked Father Colton yesterday to tell me something about the now fam ous chaplain’s personality he answered: “Well, there Is nothing too good that you could say of him. During the eight years he was with me here I found him an ideal priest. I know many young priests who have special characteristics, but few who unite so many attractive and brilliant personal traits as can be found in Father Chidwick. He has a cheerful, winsome temper and a most simple and trustful nature. His wit is keen and ready, but -it is never used to inflict the slightest gain on any one, • “He is an eloquent and fluent speaker, and his clever, handsome face reflects a well balanced, bright aa-nd talented mind. Th.-> ’ca’onsness faithfulness of his attention to the sick and peer the parish here were really remarkable. We y-ho bn??? the man, and what a.trying po sition that of a Catholic chaplain in the navy is. were well satisfied, when Arch bisbop Corrigan named him for the com mission, that no mistake had been made. The scenes in Havana. « well as his whole record in the navy, have amply justified this appreciation of his sterling charac ter.” Father’ Chidwick has * strong athletic MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 6 1898. frame, standing five feet six Inches in height, and weighs 160 pounds. In the messroom his companionable and lovable disposition makes him a general favorite with his brother officers. Among the men his influence is unbounded, and is contin ually felt in the improved morale and dis cipline of good natured Jack, whose faults and laches are usually only the result of bis traditional convivial disposition. It is likely that when Father Chidwiek returns to New York his friends and ad mirers will join in tendering him some special mark of recognition of the part he played in the Maine disaster.

It Is a Great Difficulty—lndividual Members of the Board Want Miss Moore Remain. The question of a successor to Mrs. Moore, the mucic teacher of the schools of the city and of the county, is a matter in which a very large number of people in Bibb county are interested. -It is known that a very strong pressure has been brought, to bear on the Board of Education to retain the services of Mrs. 'Moore and it is hoped by a great many people that the Board will decide to forego the de mand for a strict adherence to the rule requiring vaccination in this single case. The individual members of the board are unanimous in their regret that the conditions are such as to make it impera tive on them to let Mrs. Moore go and it is to be presumed that the board as a whole is very much tempted to wink at the vaccination requirement in this case, but at the same time the members of the board say that to allow Mrs. Moore to re main tftider the conditions would be sim ply letting down the bars for others and this they say they have no right to do especially as it is the intention of the board to make this rule permanent. The conditions are, to say the least of it, peculiar and very extraordinary. It is not probable that the same conditions would occur again say the friends of Mrs. Moore and those who wish to retain the services of a. most excellent teacher, Mrs. Moore’s opposition to vaccination is based upon a religious soruple and being a Christian scientist* she c annot, she says comply with the order of the board. But on the other hand the board says that, there may be fifty pupils in the schools whose 'parents are Christian scientists and if Mrs. Moore is allowed to remain, no vaccination could be demanded of them and in this way the whole scheme of the board would break down. It is not a pleasant situation for the board, and their petion in the matter is being watched with no little interest. Ths fas- yj? Jiails z is efi Kentucky’s Freakish Well. “One of tho most remarkable natural wonders I ever saw, ” said a gentleman from the Purchase today, “is an old un used well on the Tennessee river, down in our country. “Nobody knows who dug the well or why it was ever dug, as it is not near any farmhouse or village. But the un usual thing about it is its freakishness. For instance, last summer, during the drought, when water was at a premium, I went-to the well while fishing in the neighborhood and found it over half full of the coldest limestone aqua pura lever drank. But*every fall and winter the well goes dry, and there is seeming ly no stream from which the well can draw its supply of watqr. An old man who lives near by told me that last sum mer was tbe only time he had ever known limestone water to rise in the well. “‘Why,’said tbe old river man in speaking of the mysterious well, ‘I have drawn the very best of iron minc-ral water out of it at one time and white .'sulphur at another. The negroes say the well is haunted because steam rises from it in the winter time, when there is not a drop of water in it. The blacks shun it as they would the boss denizens of the infernal regions, swearing the water is poisoned and that a draft from it means death to him who sw’al lows the potion. And it is as queer and freakish a spot as ever I saw. ’ ”—Louis ville Post, London Bridge. The Britons themselves were quite unable to construct a bridge of any kind unless in the primitive methods observ ed at Post bridge and Two bridges, on Dartmoor, by a glabxif etone laid across two bowlders. The work, therefore, was certainly undertaken by Roman engi neers. We have, in the next place, to in quire what kind of bridge was built at that time by the Romans. They built bridges’ of wood and of stcnei Many of these stone bridges still remain; in oth er cases the pieces of hewn stone still remain. The bridge over the Thames, however, was of wood. This is proved by the fact that had it been of tbe solid Roman construction in stone the piers would be still remaining; also by tbe fact that London had to be contented with a wooden bridge till the year ■(>, when the first bridge of stone was ctimmeEced.
