APPRENTICES
AT THECENTRAL
An Interesting Method Adopt
ed by the Officials That
Helps Many Boys.
HOW THEY ARE RECEIVED,
The Work They Do and the Pay
They Receive While They Are
Acting as Apprentices.
Apprentice* to the Central railroad is
•oinething new and it has been proven to
ire very thoroughly effective.
Tne plan has been given a fair trial and
nas preven a complete success.
For a boy to retain his place on the roll
as apprentices in the Central shops he has
to be honest, industrious, quick, and intel
ligent. The shops do not long hold lag
..aids or drones. They are soon found
out and their places filled with more val
uabh lads.
"When a boy enters the Central shops,”
. ai<l Mr. Kline, “he Is given a six month’s
trial. This is ample time to tell whether
or not he is made of the proper stuff. If
lie 1.-; found to be of the right callibre in
that time he is token on as a regular ap
prentice. When he is allowed to leave the
■bops as a finished workman he need not
be ashamed to go in any machine shop
in the country and ask for work. He is
capable of doing any class of machinist’s
work. Their training is thorough under
our system of apprenticeship. Minors em
ploy, d in tlie workshops of the Central
must come under and be subject to, cer
tain rules until their term of service ex
pires.
"If over the age of 17 when they enter
the service of the company they serve the
full term of four years; if under the age
of 17 tl’.ey serve until they are 21 years
of age. The service in each year is 130
day* of ten hours each. In case of absence
'luring the term of service they serve such
ulditional time as will make up for the
time lost.
"It is required of each to devote his
whole time during working hours faith
fully to his duty. Those not observing this
rule are liable to be discharged. The wages
raid by the Central to each boy employed,
luring his period of service, is as follows:
For the first year $lB per month; for the
second year, $22.50 per month; for the
third year, $27 per month; for the fourth
year. $31.50 per month.
"We retain the right to discharge any
employe for indolence, negligence, or bad
conduct. This right is expressly.reserved.
Upon the discharge of such an employe his
contract with 'the company terminates. If
the Central at any time sees proper to sus
pend the whole or any part of the work
in any of the shops the wages of the ap
prentice is not suspended. He may be
transferred to any shops of the company
on any of the lines owned, operated, or
controlled by it; or assigned to any other
labor which the company may elect, save
train service, until the shops are reopened.
The time during which the work of .any
■uch shops is suspended Is not included in
the term of aprewtlceshlp.”
The superintendent and other officials
believe that boys should do something to
improve their minds when not wi the shops
•nd for this reason apprentices are re
tuiled to improve themselves by reading,
•Ira wing, and attending night schools
when practicable, and are liable to be dis
charged for misconduct at, or even when
absent from the workshops.
"There was a time.” says Mr. Kline,
"when apprentices in shops were, at the
end of their time, given a suit of .clothes
and a small sum of money and told to go
and seek work. We do not adopt this plan,
'Hit. lay aside a certain sum yearly to be
given a young man when he finishes his
ippren-ticeship. Those apprentices who
serve out a full term under the rules are
paid upon the completion of a full term
of service, in addition to the wages above
stipulated, as follows:
For the first whole year $24 pg
For the second whole year 30 00
For 'the third whole year 36 00
bor the fourth whole year 42 00
"This will give .a boy $132 in cash when
he concludes his time. But no apprentice
or employe will be paid any part of the
additional sum unless he has completed
the full term of service provided for.”
, When a boy apprentices himself to the
Central he signs a contract agreeing to the
rules outlined by Mr. Kline .and his pa
rents or guardian also give their written
issent to the apprenticeship.
Mr. Kline thinks a boy can get an edu
cation in the shops of the Central as good
as that secured in any school of tech
nology.

HOVERING ABOUT HAVANA.
Warning to Spain Upon a Placard Posted on
Palace Wall.
Havana. March 17—The patriots, with
the prospects before them ot a war be
tween the United States and Spain, are
preparing to take an important part in the
events.
The bands in the Province of Havana
are rapidly increasing in number. Many
persons in the city are joining them, and
the Cuban forces in Matanzas -and Santa
Clara are moving westward.
Around Guanabacoa, Caivario, Marianao
and other places on the outskirts of Ha
vana. the Cubans are showing renewed
activity, and eagerly await an opportunity
to fall on the capital itself.
Inside Havana also, as scon as the firs-t
shot of the American guns shall be heard,
over 5,000 men will immediately join the
Cuban army to invest the city. From
Pinar del Rio Province. 2,000 well armed
C übans are ready under General Perico'
Delgado to march on Havana in addition
to the more formidable attack that General
Gomez will make from the West. The
Spanish will have a hard time of it.
The savage assault of the Cubans, even
with their comparatively small resources,
will be irresistible. Some towns and
cities less strongly fortified will be imme
diately attacked. Carlo* Rojas, a dashing
Cuban commander in Matanzas Province,
is ready to fall on Cardenas at any mo
ment.
The following placard was posted the '
other night on the O'Reilley-Street side
of the palace: "Spain, your time has
come.”

ELIGIBLES FOR WAR SERVICE. |
In Case of a Conflict With Spain Would You
Volunteer to Go?
In the event of war with a foreign pow
er, the facts about the enrollment of vol
unteers by Uncle Sam, become of vital im
portance. AVho are eligible and who are
not? tAm I eligible for military service
against Bpu.n, should war be declared? s is .
just now the question of questions.
Tae war department »n estimating the
number of men wi.o, in case ors a great
war, ougat be drafted into ser.vice in a last
emergency. The rough estimate of the
Adjutant General's office 1* that we oan, if
it needs be, rase an army of 10,726,208
males ot fighting age.
Every man muatererd into service in
case of war with Spam, must submit to
examination by an army surgeon.
The greater part of the popular mind
has the mistaken idea that men in une
national guard, the organized state mili
tia, would be pressed into service next af
ter the regular army, but such is not the
case. At jhe first bugle call every mem
bei of the maKtia will 'have a chance to
volunteer, but until a draft is ordered no
militiamen will be required to take the
field against bis desire. Men who go un
willingly are not wanted. They make the
poorest soldiers.
There will be no such arm of the service
as tlie militia rn the event of the next
great war with a foreign power. It would
be illegal for President McKinley, com
-1 mander-in-chief ot the army and navy, to
; order the malitia outside our boundaries
lor the purpose of invading Spanish terri
tory or any other foreign domain. No
governor would be required by law to
honor the president’s call for militia. To
avoid possible complication, therefore, the
president would act on the assumption
that there is no militia in any ■of the
states. The regular army proving insuffi
cient. he would first call upon the gov
ernor’s o>f states for a certain number of
volunteers. Organized bodies of militia
might volunteer in a body and offer tlhem
selves already organized, every man con
senting. Officers from and including the
lank of colonel down would be appointed
by the governors of_ states to command
badies of volunteers, but for the president
is reserved the appointing all general of
ficers.
Should you volunteer your services at
the first call you may stand a chance to
enter the ranks if you are between 21 and
30 years old, of good character and habits,
able bodied, free from disease, not less
than five feet and four inches tall and be
tween 128 and 190 pounds in weight. ’lf
you measure above five feet ten inches in
height, or weigh above 165 pounds, you
can enter the infantry or artillery, but
not tlhe calvary. These are the require
ments for entrance to the regular army.
They would remain in force during 'the
mustering of volunteers until men should
be passed tin with Insufficient speed.
Then the restrictions in regard to age
would be made less exacting. Ln a great
emergency the fighting age would be
stretched from 18 to 45. The restrictions
in .regard to weight would ’perhaps be
changed, ibut very heavy men would not
be accepted. Fat men do not make as good
soldiers as thin men.

MAKE THEM MISERABLE.
Lives of Offiice Holders Made Burdensome
by 1 hose Seeking Appointments.
For sometime the lives of the Republi
can officials have been made miserable by
the appeals made to them by their unfor
tunate political brethren who have failed
to secure appointments.
The fortunate holders of good jobs have
been called on to subscribe to many poli
tical funds and have- been given to under
sand that it is their duty to divide their
iiii oinc-s with the horde of politicians of
their faith upon whom the “powers that
be" have not showered their favors.
One of the United Stales officials in
speaking of this evil to a News reporter
todpy said:
“You cannot imagine the annoyance
that is caused by this hungry horde* of
disappointed place hunters. They seem
to think 'that those who secured appoint
ments are in honor bound to support them
m idleness, and there is simply no limit
to the demands they make. You can see
for yourself there is always a crowd of
them hanging about this building. This
practice-is in violation of 'the civil service
act and there is going to be a stop put to
it.
“The civil service act is commonly un
derstood to relate only to retentions and
promotions of men in the civil service, but
the Latter part of the law has the punitory
clause in full.
"It. makes it criminal for any federal
officer, directly or indirectly, to solicit or
receive or be in any manner concerned in
soliciting or receiving any assessments,
subscriptions or contributions for any
political purpose.
“It also makes it criminal for any out
sider to enter any "government building
or office and ask for or receive assess
ments, subscriptions or contributions for
political purposes. It is also criminal far
any officeholder 'to ’threaten another offi
cer. or to hint to him that his job may be
unsafe if he don’t shell out the cash for
political purposes. Besides, it is criminal
for any officeholder to hand over or pay
another officer any money or valuable
thing to be used for political expenses.
"The punishment for committing any of
these offenses Is a fine of not more than
$5,000 or imprisonment for not more than
three years, or both.”

RECORD BROKEN
AT CEMETERIES
Not a Sinde Interment Has
Taken Place in Rose Hill
or Riverside
FOB LAST EIGHTEEN OMS.
Something Very Remarkable, Con
sidering the Population of
the Town.
The funeral which takes place this af
ternoon will be the first that has 'been held
•in tiuher Rose Hill or Riverside cemete
ries for the last eighteen days. .
This breaks the record so far as tlhe
cemeteries are concerned and is one of the
highest tributes that could be paid to rhe
health of Macon.
It is a singular condition existing at a
time .when there is no’ little talk going
around on the outside about the esndition
of the city and the smallpox situation.
■But it .is nevertheless a fact tihat not
a funeral has been held for'tlhe last eigh
teen days and that Sexton Roland B. Hall
says that it is the most remarkable thing
on record. It is indeed remarkable when
one comes to think of it that put of a pop
ulation of about thirty thousand people,
and, in fact, a population of Ifully fifty
thousand people, contributing to the two
cemeteries, not a single interment has
taken place.
Both the cemeteries are looking very
pretty just at tfhe dawn Os spring, and
Sexton HaM is hard at work making a
number of improvements at Rose Hill that
will add to tlhe beauty of the place.

STARVING TO DEATH
And the Boys Stoned Him, Thinking He Was
Drunk.
'New York, 'March 17.—1 t was not drunk
enness, but starvation. Several persons
noticed Christopher Weiner lying on the
sidewalk at the corner of Stagg street and
Busljwick evenue, Will’iamsbung, ami they
though he was drunk. Some small boys
of the same mind tood advantage of the
opportunity to tie placards to his cloOhing
and pelt him with stones and other mis
siles.
It was this that brought Policeman Jo
seph iDollert, of the Stagg Street Sta
tion, to the scene. 'He spoke to 'thia.uncon
scious man, and getting no answer, re
moved him to 4be station house. An am
bulance surgeon was summoned, and he
succeeded in restoring tlhe man to con
sciousness.
"For the love o*f God give me some food
or a drink!” gasped the man as he open
ed this eyes. Brandy was forced down his
throat and in a few minutes he recovered
sufficiently to say that he was slowly
starving. This proved to be the case.

Mr. James S. Harrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve

dyspepsia and general debility, and in
his weakened condition, resulting from
the above causes, he had the additional
ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from
this complication of disorders. Mr.
Harrison’s condition was becoming very
serious, when he commenced to take P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy. Its
effects were marked and immediate.
Read his letter to us. Its earnestness
is apparent:

completely restored, and I can eat like
a field laborer, without the slightest
fear of any serious results.
I take great pleasure in telling the
world that P. P. P. did the grand work
