UN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
Is Made in a Circular Sent Out by
the Committee on Enter
tainment.
, The entertainment committee of the
j Kp .vor It Leagues, who have been appoint
j e<] to take charge of the delegates who
will aJtteiul the' conference next month are
stili hi want of hundreds of homes for the
I dclogattttC Some time ago cards were sent
j to evofy Methodist in the city whose name
I and address could be procured, asking
! them to eomunicata with the committee
i at once if they cquld possibly entertain
one or more delegates. Very few people
• j have returned these cards, and the com
, mitte, is anxious to hear from them at
| once, as the names of delegates are pour
. ! ing 1u and they have not enough homes
I to accommodate those who "have already
sent, in their names.
There will he at least 1,000 delegates to
ihc conference, and so far riot homes
enough for half the delegates have been
secured.
The chairman of the entertainment cam-
I mittee Issues the following:
1 To the Public: The Epworth League
. Conference, which convenes in this city,
, 7th, and lasting through the 10th,
will bring at the lowest estimate, 2,000
1 people. One thousand of these will be the
duly selected, and elected delegates to this
> conference, and will be the authorized rep
resentative's of the Epworth Leaugues of
tin* state. To this thousand of delegates,
the Macon Leaguers have pledged not only
a grand and good conference, but free en
-3 tertainnv nt. and we now ask the good
people of the city to help us in this work.
We have purchased .a large tent at con
siderable cost, we have arranged a pro
gram with a large number of the ablest
speakers. In the South, in raet have about
completed all arrangements, except the
- providing of hemes for the delegates. We
r have been, hard at work on this Tor three
a weeks, principally among the Methodists,
as we did not feel at liberty to ask others,
until we had shown our own disposition
to entertain liberally. This w«.have done,
1 and in so doing, have secured about four
t hundred homes, we want six hundred
more, anil we appeal to every family in
, , Macon to help us. Lists of delegates are
coming in daily, and by making inquiry
of the undersigned, any information will
be gladly given, and we want you to ad
’’ vise us how many delegates you will take,
and if you have any choice, and will make
e it known, we will gladly make the assign
x. mi nts accordingly.
Committees are out soliciting homes,
but It is Impossible to see all, and if you
'' will aid us. kindly mail me a card to that
r effect, and it will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly, \V. t B. King,
Chairman Entertainment Committee.
KID McCOY*
Makes Claim to the Championship of the
World.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 12 —Kid Mc-
Coy today formally claimed the champion
ship ot the world as a prize tighter. He
lob graphed Itiehard K. Fox, wit h whom
ne had $5,000 forfeit money, backing up
his challenge to tight Fitzsimmons or Cor
bett, to withdraw the deposit, as neither
had accepted.
He then signed articles to fight Gus
Ituhlin, the Akron Giant, at San. Fran
cisco, is from six to twelve weeks. McCoy
announced that he would defend his title '
of champion against all comers.
Kid McCoy, American citizen, heavy and
middle-weight champion of the world, is
surely a title of which anybody with’an
ambition to pugilistic fame can be proud.
Nobody can gainsay the young Hoosier's
light to the title, for he has fought his
way up from the bottom, and, with the ex
ception of two defeats in his early experi
ence. he has never met his conqueror. He
has fought, in America, England ami South
Africa, and has never been accused of
quitting or lying down. He has fought, all
kinds of men at all kinds of weights, and
critics who say that Im> has never defeated
any good their ignorance of the
ability of such men as Dan Creedou and
Tommy Ryan.
McCoy has the appearance and bearing
of a well-bred young man, just entering
the prime of manhood, and for a prize
fighter has unusually good habits. He has
made a study of his following and has a
splendid knowledge of anatomy, together
with a fair general education. In assum
ing the championship lie does not follow
the footsteps of other fighters of the
latter day school by asking challenges to
,-,ct a reputation and fight the matter of
supremacy out among themselves, after
which he will meet the survivor.
The young champion says that all com
ers will be given a chance, and that he
will fight as fast as nurses of suitable size
can be obtained, giving the preference at
ill times to Corbett or Fitzsimmons. It is
not at all likely that the latter will allow
tae championship to go by default. It
would mean his ruin. He will bo forced
.o fignt McCoy, but when they meet it will
doubtless be for the middle-weight cham
pionship. or at least at the middle-weight
limit. Julian said not long ago that Fitz
would fight McCoy at this weight.
There is an object in this. Fitz. if de
feated in such a fight, could easily sav
that he overestimated his strength and ask
at once for another meeting at catc-h
weights, thus having two‘chances to land
a lucky blow with that terrible right. Mc-
Coy has certainly done nothing to Fitz
simmons to,warrant the contempt which
too New Zealander uses in speaking of the
“upstart" as he calls him.

WAGNER THEORY 1
! ILLUSTRATED.
A Very Delightful Entertain
ment Will Be Given in
Macon Next Week.
| DISTINGUISHED MORS,
Members of the Lo ndonl Wagner
Society Will Give tb£ People
of Macon a Great Treat.
Wagner’s thoory of music is well known
U> most of those who have made any
sfudy of Wagner and the general outline
of it is,outlined In the mind of tbV> public
generally, but very few' people have.had
an opporaunlty to test the theory when -put
into practice. ” \ \
An oppoYtunily to do this will be offel ed
in an entertainment to be given in Mad an
next week. It is under the auspices ,*f tide
I.ondon Wagner Society and the Urfivei
sal tlrotherhood. \
Wagner’s theory and idea on which he
wrote all of his magnificent composit ions
was that music brought out all .hat is Trad
or all that is good in human nature, Ac
cording to the chords tha are toucHed.
He believed that in every chord of mutsic
and in every note there is a corresponding
vibration in ihe human system or in the
sou!, if you will, which was affected. He
believed that the influence of music for
good was very great and that a greaiter
depth of human love could be touched by
the sound of music than by the sound of
human voice, no matter how eloquent. ;
It is a beautiful idea and the Waglter
Society of London has done much to bring
the Wagner theory before the considjer
tion of the people of cultivation and edu
cation in the world. Gradually the truth
of Wagner’s belief has been dawning upon
those who have investigated the matter.
There is nothing irrational in it. It is in
the highest degre plausible. For why
should not he notes of music and its har
monies appeal Co all that- is best in a
human being and why sho-ufUl not its effect
be good and its influence be better than
merely human influence? Why should not
the spirit of harmony be beter for, the man
than the spirit of discord.
On ’Wednesday night at a pl&ce to be
announced on Tuesday Mrs. Alice Leighton
Cl cat her and Mr. Basil me.mbers of
an illustrated lecture on the Wagner the
ory of music. Those who have heard the
lecture say that it is very \yonderful and
very beautiful and that it appeals to the
highest cultivation.
The entertainment eonsisus of a short
lecture on the life and worth of Wagner
with intermiisisons of Waj ;uer music,
which is played behind a eurti fin on which
is cast the characters taken fix jin the great
works of the composer.
The entertainment is dosc-rib.?d as weird
and beautiful. As Macon is tins only point
in the south to be visited by these dis
tinguished people who are not traveling for
the profits of their entertainment, they
should have, ami no doubt will have, a
large and representative audience, made
up of M'aeon’s, best people.
the entertainment will lie given cithe
at the Volunteers’ armory or at the Acad
emy of Music, in the event he Academy is
not engaged for the night.

NEW MISSILE,
■* A
Invention Designed to Start Conflagrations
in War.
Cincinahti, March 12. —Eli Norris, of
Linwood, njy just invented a projectile
designated for naval and land warfare.
The small missile, which can be hurled
three miles, Is designed for starting con
flagrations. The projectile as inclosed in a
steel shell eight inches in circumference
and fifteen inches long. It uentains from
oe to three gallons of gasoline, (resin, saw
dust, gun powder and other explosives,
which, when the missile strikes a fort or
ship, bursts, igniting the oil and causing
an immediate conflagration. A cartridge
extends the length of the shell. Th :■ butt
of the si ell is made of thicker Steel to
prevent its explosion at firing. The mis
siles can be ’’urled from a four to five ton
gun mstead of the’guns of manv times
that weight now in use at Sandy Hook.
They can be used in coast, field or seige
guns.
Norris will go to Washington March 20th
to push his invention before the navy de
partment. To a Post reporter he said: “I
have made this projectile a study for three
years. It was a matter of no little diffi
culty to perfect it, but I have succeeded. I
can cover a man of war with fire with
three of these shells. I dbn't doubt that
the government will aecepfi them:”
FIRST PRESBYTEh'IAN.
Great Interest Being Displayed, and Large
Congregations-
Much interest has been aroused by the
evangelistic metings under the couduct of
■Dr. Nathan 800 liman, at the First Presby
| terian church. Dr. Boehman is an unusual
i man. It is common to hear the remark,
“1 never listened to anyone like him.”
During the past week the audiences have
grown and the interest has constantly in-
The meetings are omitted today, being
Saturday, but Dr. Boehman wiil preach at
the First Presbyterian church, tomorrow
morning at 11 o’clock and in the evening
at 7:30, and next week the services will
! continue at the First Presbyterian Church
every day, at 4 and at 8 p. m.
An unusual feature of the gospel meet
ings in this city has been adapted by the
ladies of the church. Recognizing that
many business men are unable to go home
to supper and return to our 8 o’clock meet
ing. they are providing a lunch with hot
coffee for all comers betrveen 7 and
8 o’clock p. m. every night. Os course
there is no charge for this, and it goes
without saying that the young ladies make
all who come very much at home. All <jre
cordially welcome.

This Morning.
HUNDREDS OF VISITORS
Have Come to the City to Witness j
the Performance -A Glorious
Time Tonight.
Early this morning—very early, Mayor
Price sent the keys of Macon to Exalted
Ruler Lon Hollingsworth of the Elks, to be
used by him for the purpose of opening
any oul thing in the city for the next
twenty-four hours
Duplicate keys were at once handed to
the visiting members of the Benevolent
and Protective Order, and the city and all.
that therein is belongs to the gentlemen
with horns. «
The Benevolent ones seem to be having
a very uelerious period. The band is play- I
ing “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight,”
and the tent is packed with people who are
getting more than the value of their ad
mission fee.
Last night the first performance of the
Harris Nickel Plate Circus since they went
; into winter quarters here last winter was
had.
, It was not a regular rehearsal, but the
. program, as it wil be giver, during the
■circus’ tour through the south, was gone
through in skeleton form and ai of the
1 perllormers were present eo see where
their parts came and to instruct the men
bow to handle their paraphernalia.
it is interesting to ncle the prdpara
i tin ns that aire made by a circus before
; it starts out for the season. There are a
. thousand and one litle things to do and
it requires no small amount of work to
get things runnig smoothly, even in a
1 small circus.
The Harris Nickel Plate Shows have
1 been greatly enlarged since last season.
1 The tent Ete nearly twice as large as it
3 was then and a -number of now horse,
wagons, etc., have been added, beside the
engagement of a large number of the best
circus performers of this country.
There will be some specialties in the
show tills season that are truly marvellous.
The famous Yamato family, Japanese per-
S formers, have been engaed for the season.
Last night he Elks were present to see
where their parts in the program came
in. Everything went off smoothly,
f The .performance which commenced at 2
o’clock this afternoon bids fair to be all
that has been advertised. The peanut and
, lemonade venders have their parts down
J line an dthe mouth of the individual from
the rural district is made to water as he
*" listens to the honey-coated speeches made
by the sellers of these necessary adjuncts
' to a genuine circus.
I This is a red letter in the history of the
Elks of Macon. Visitors from ail over the
State have gathered her in large numbers
a'ud the street pageant which moved down
the' ■ streets of the city at one o’clock was
j the grandest that has even been scan in
Macon'.
At 2 o’clock the doors were thrown open
' and the crowd began pouring in the large
1 tent, Which had been handsomely decorated
I on the inside. When the ‘performance com
menced every in’ch of available space un
-1 der the canvass was occupied, and the
shouts of the audience told how they were
enjoying the performance.
The best performance wil be tonight, |
3 when a complete change ot. program will I
- be given. Special care has been taken with ,
> the performance which wil take place to- j
night, for this will be made the crowning j
s event of the glorious success. j
After the evening performance the Elks
will repair to the lodge room, where a so
cial session will be held. All day long the
lodge room has been kept open for the
’ visitors and the day hs been spent as
pleasantly as possible.
r An" old resident said this mornig that
today reminded him of the old. days in
’BO in Macon and that he supposed tonight
s would bear a more striking resemblance
g if the refreshments held out.
■| The crowd which has come ’to- see the
; ! circus is much larger than the Elks had
f | hoped for, and in every way it will be a
.success.
At scan when the street procession be
gan to move there was a burst of music
- and .a g?ftter of shining uniforms. The Elks
headed the procession, and two hundred
' strong they marched down the street of
the city like .knights of old. Card’s band
; headed the corunm of Elks, and when they
’ pars' d ; n .review the regular circus parade
commenced. The' Elks were dressed in
1 silk hats and long black coats. Col. Dan
Hughes, the veteran member of the order,
’ be -r ‘ the white and purple banner.
The procession started from the city hall,
went down Cotton avenue to Cherry, down
Cherry to Fourth, down Fourth to Plum,
up Plum to Third, up Third to Mulberry,
up Mulberry to the monument and then
back up Cotton avenue to the city hall.
The Harris Nickel Plate Shows wi‘ll j
Have the city tonijxht at 11:59 for he sea
; sen of 1898.
During the stay in the city the manage
ment of this show has won many friends.
They have refuted their shows for the
season and all cf their new cars and
'.v ago ns were built *here of Georgia pine.
The handsomest advance car sent out by
any show is the one which the management
had built here by the G. S. & F.
' shops. Ten new cars, sixty feet long, were
built here. Mr. Harris says that he will
| make Macon his permanent winter quar-
J ters.

l mornrgat 10 o’clock and adopted a new
