SAVE THE HOME
Meeting of the Daughters of
the Confederacy is Being
Held This Afternoon.
BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION
Important Movement Has Been
Started —Will Require Quick
' Work Social News.
A meeting of the Daughters of the Con
y will b<- h’ w tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock at the Public Library ami
everybody interoC'd should be present.
The folowing letter to .Mrs. Appleton Col
lins will explain the purpose ami impor
tance of the meeting:
Rome, Ga., March 9, 1898.
".Mrs. Appleton Collins, President Chap
ter D. Georgia Division U. D. C.
".My Dear Mrs. Collins: Realizing th-aj.
If it could be proved practicable, the
Paughtem of the Confederacy, in Georgia,
would desire to save the Soldiers’ Home,
now advertised for sale on April 5, 1898.
I wrote as soon as I learned of the pro-
JH(S ,<al< , to Judge Calhoun, chairman of
eonimissiom rs of the Home, asking upon
what terms the Daughters could secure
po*session or control of the property.
"After some correspondence he signified
a personal readiness to agree to terms
contained in the enclosed letter, and has
asked for an expression from the other
commissioners. If they agree (o terms
similar to these, it will be possible for the
Daughters to obtain control of the Soldiers
Home, ami devote it to the purpose for
which it was originally intended; if they
can, between this date and the sth of
April, (little more than three weeks) raise
T,v popular subscription or otherwise, the
num of $5,00b.
■’We have in the state, twenty-five chap
ters in good standing. If through each
chapter, we could secure, In the 'time
named, subscriptions amounting to S2OO,
we could pay the debt now resting on the
Home, and afterwards raise the amount
necessary tx> maintain it. Os course the
S2OO named, represents the average amount
each chapter would have to raise.
“I believe there are four or five chapters
In the state, that could, in a few days,
raise from three to five hundred dollars
i ach, if they go to work in the right spirit,
and this would relieve the weaker chap
ters from the necessity of raising the full
S2OO.
’Btt' cannot each community furnish
'twenty men who would give ten dollars
each, ‘or forty men who would give five
dollars each for such a purpose. Perhaps
n few could be found who would give a
hundred dollars or more.
"I’l. :i e call a meeting of your chapter
Immediately, lay this matter before it'hem,
and let us have an expression of opinion
by the first possible mail. The limited
time will allow the use of no superflous
“red tape.”
Descriptions of Soldiers’ Home property,
will he found in the advertisements of
sale, appearing In the Atlanta papers,
dated March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31.

Dear Madam: Your letter of the Ist of
March was duly received and ns requested,
I have sent copies of our correspondence
in relation tn the Soldiers Home to the
other commlsloners.
When the was advertised for sale
before, no bid was received.
There seemed to be no demand for It at
that. time. As for myself. If the Daughters
of the Confederacy could raise the amount.
«>f the indebtedness on the Home, some
thing over sl,ooo before the day of sale
and pay off the debt, and agree to open
mid maintain It as a Confederate Soldiers
Home, upon proper conditions: the prop
erty to revert to the trustees in case of
failure to open and maintain for said pur-
IM'.e, I would sanction it. if the approval
of the others could bo obtained. Respect
fully, w. l, Calhoun.

A PETITION FOR
MRUOBLES
Has Been Forwarded to the
Governor Asking Him to
Consider Her Case.
OTHER STITES UTERESTED
Secretary Callaway Writes That
There Art Numbers of Letters
From Other States on File.
Application has been made to Governor
Atkmson. by Mrs. Nobles’ attorneys for a
hearing before him asking for the commu
tation of her senteutw, and it is probable
that the governor will give audience ta
the attorneys the later part of this week
or the first o-f the next, if he does not -re
fer them to the pardon board.
The interest that was manifested when
the fight for the life of the old woman
was first taken up is conspicuous now by
its aibsenee, and the case has dragged
through the courts so long that the people
have -begun to look upon ‘it in an indiffer
ent light. But never before has the old
woman been so close to the gallows, though
many times no intereference has been
made in her behalf until 'the day set for
the execution was at hand. But there was
always some ground for an appeal to stay
the execution, but now there is none, and
if at the last moment the governor should
refuse to interfere there will be nothing to
prevent the execution of the odd woman
and her accomplice, Gus Fambles.
The petition asking for a hearing before
the governor was forwarded a few days
ago, and -if the hearing is granted it VFill
be conducted 'by Messrs. Marion Harr!*
and Glenn & Rountree.
A letter was received from Governor At
kinson’s private secretary ‘today stating
that the papers had been received. The
letter also stated that there were hundreds
of letters on file in the governor's office,
not only from citizens in Georgia, but res
idents in cither states, asking that the
sentence of ‘Mrs. Nobles be commuted.
The ladies who have interested them
selves in Mrs. Nobles’ behalf will start to
work this afternoon getting signatures to
the petition to 'the governor for the com
mutafion of the sentence.
The date sat for the execution of Gus
Fambles is next Friday, ‘but in all proba
bility he wil be granted a respite until the
fa’te of Mrs. Nobles Is settled.
MORE MONEY
Has Been Subscribed for the Hospital Mort
gage Lund.
The movement to secure enough money
to pay off the mortgage hanging over the
city hospital and then to take advantage
of the offer made by Mr. T. B. Gresham
and iris sister, Mrs. Machen; of Baltimore,
to erect a memorial building to be used as
a hospital, goes on 'all too slowly, though
the subscriptions have -been coming in
steadily and showing in the amounts oppo
site the names of those who have sub
scribed is very creditable.
There is no doubt about the whole sum
being raised eventually, ibut there should
not he so much 'delay. The hospital ad
dition is very badly needed, the report of
the resident physician, showing that there
is not enough room for the -patients for
whom application is made. This hospital
'has been a very small ta\ upon the chari
ty or the generosity of the wealthy citi
zens of Macon who are jn a position to
subscribe liberally to such a movement.
The present buildings wore bought with
money mainly contributed by the Kings'
Daughters -and without them Macon would
not have had a hospital at all, much to
her discredit. It is only proper that now
rhe jieople should the more readily re
spond to a call that means so much to the
city and to the interests of the hospital.

■Messrs. S. H. and W. H. Amenable, of At

en route to Key West, where they go to
look after the fortifications that they are
building at that poin’t for the government.
Nearly all of the masonry work has been
completed, and all that remains to be done
now is to put in the sand pits. The for
tifications wil be among the strongest on
the Atlantic 'coast when the}’ are complet
ed. An outer wall of heavy stone masonry
is built and sixty feet back of this is a
parallel wall of concrete and granite. In
the distance (between the two walls, wet
sand is placed, which makes the fortifica
tions almost impregnable to the biggest
guns. .

WEIRD AND MYSTIC
i ’Entertainment to Be Given Explanatian of
the Wagner Theory..
The lecture and musical recital to be 1
I given on Wednesday night by Mrs. Oleath
er and Mr. Crump, o< the London AVagner ‘
Society, is full o< the deepest jaferest to
lovers of music and to students of liter- i
ature and of art In tMs city.
Such an opoprtunXy to get an insight
into the thoughts of the great composer I
has never before been offered to the people
of this commun'ity or of the Soush.
Mrs. Cleaither and Mr. Crump come to
this city direct from San Diego. California,
selecting Macon as the home of culture
and refinement in toe South. They sail
for England from New York on March 26,
and consequently, this will be the only
point at which they will ecture in the
South.
The Wagner theory of music is full of
the mostt delightful sensations. It is mys
, tie and interesting. The audience seated
• i in the darkened hall listens to the wierd
strains of music and feels the marvelous
effect —for it is said by those w’ho have
heard this recital that the theory is
brought out in practice and that Warper’s
music, as none other, reaches hesponsive
| cbotds in the heath of an audience. The
I music is concealed. It is behind a screen,
i and on the screen are thrown rhe illustra
tions by a stereoptican. The lecutrer
gives a description of the life and works
of AVagnfr and the intermissions are filled
with the most delightful music.
-No more perfect form of entertainment
for an audience of culture could be con
ceived. It is to be hoped that the distin
guished lecturers will have a large au
dience.
They came to this country not for the
purjiose of delivering these lectures, but
on business connected with the Universal
'Brotherhood. -When 'that business was
finished they iwent direct to California,
' where they have delivered a few lectures,
j ’Mrs. Cleather comes of one of the oM-
I est families in England. 0n her mother’s
side she is descended from the Rev. Co
myus, of Scotland, and-on the father's side
from Alys, lord of Deyvot, w'ho' lived in
AVale-s fifty years 'before AVilliam the Con-
- queror.
Colonel Barkley G. Cleather, her ’hus
band, Is now -in cbm-mand of the 79th, or
Queen’s, own Cameron Highlanders; now at
the front in Egypt.
Mr. Crup is the -son of a prominent
-member of the Queen's Counsel In Lon
don., and -is one of the leading members of
the Wagner Society Os England.
To the student the 'lecture will appeal
more than any other that has been given
-in Macon for many years. lit is probable
that the students of Mercer and Wesleyan
will attend in a body.
The place selected for the entertainment
will be announced tomorrow.

A New Word Coined.
Ph ladelphia has invented a word that is
. not without Its merits as a convenient L.ub
( lititute for phrases more or less long and
complicated. In that city, so The North
. Anferican reveals, “a person who has been
i a jolly good fellow and who has reformed”
is called a “gink.” No light on the
word’s etymology is given, and there is
not evena hint as towhat practical utility
’ it can be to the Philadelphians. But the
. first of these points is unimportant, and as
to the second any outside criticism would,
of course, be resented by our sensitive
; neighbors.
; It were best to take for granted, there
fore, the fact that certain residents of the
Quaker City, at some period or other in
t their lives, have been jolly good fellows.
Obviously they deserve to be styled
’ “ginks,” and we hasten to add, as The
. North Amei’ican does, that “the word is
expressive of contempt or admiration, ac-
1 cording to the company you are lu.” This
is most interesting, both absolutely and be
cause it throws new light on the inhabit
ants of that little understood community.
The editors and orators of Philadelphia
have hitherto almost ignored the wealth of
J ethnological material that lies around
them, but of late they, too, have “reform
ed,” to the great edification of the general
public.—New York Times.
