4 WILL TRY 10 | 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.

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.

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.

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. ■ "WAGNER, il • i fflustlc, Poet, niusiclap. ; Lecture and Musical Recital Mrs. Alice Cleatlier ‘ Mr. Basil Crump. t " Distinguished lecturers of the London J e Wagner Society. b • Stcreoptieon Views and favorite selections, L, Wednesday Night, .
