CYMBELINE
Will Be Presented at the Academy of Music
Tonight.
’ “Cymbellne,” a problem play, and the
first of the kind of which we have any
record, is to be presented by Miss Marga
ret Mather tonight at the Academy.
It is said to be the crudest, cruelest and
most improper of all Shakespeare’s pro
ductions.
Whether this be true or otherwise, the
fact remains -that, as the play is printed
in the earlier editions, it could not be read
in public without giving affront -to those
who are not over fastidious about elegance
of spet eh and purity of phraseology. It is
supposed to be the inspiration of those
erratic play-builders who have construct
ed such acting pieces as ’’The Crust of
Society,” “The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith,”
’’Lady Windermere's Fan,” etc.
The version of it which Miss Mather
presents is distinguished by the wealth of
its scenic Investiture and lavish costum
ing. although the text has not been so
radically abridged as to rob it of its
risque tenor and support.
We cannot undertake to give more than
(the briefest outline of the story. We are
(told that Ibsthumus come into the world
upon the death of his mother, his father
Slaving previously died, and was taken
Into the borne of the king, where he lived
'intil he coached manhood. Then he mar
ries Imogen, the king’s only doughter, and
thereby Incurs the kings’ wrath and his
own banishment. He goes to Rome, where
be meets lachjtuo, a scheming villain, who
.rails at his cohstaucy to Imogen and lays
n wager that he can prove her false. Then
laehimo comes to the court of "Cymbc
iline and by artful lying seeks to poison
(the mind of Imogen against her husband,
■but he gets a slap in the face and -a proof
of her womanliness that stuns him.
I- nil of resources, he is not dismayed,
but, with honeyed words, extols her in-
craves her pardon, which she
(graciously vouchsafes hi in and then asks
the poor privilege of storing with her a
trunk containing jewels to be presented
to the king. To insure it against loss,
she orders that it be taken to her bed
chamber. The trunk is brought in and
Imogen goes to bed. reading herself to
sleep. When slumber drowses her. lachi-
Bno lifts the cover of the trunk, and. step
ping forth, secures from her arm a brace
let and discovers on her breast a mole.
Then he returns to Rome and submits to
iPosthumus the indisputable proofs of his
wife’s infidelity and wins his wager. Pos
t hum us gives way to jealous rage—not -the.
heroic jealousy of Othello—but a gross,
unworthy jealousy which reflects un
charitably upon himself.
The motive of the play from this on is
to prove laehimo’s dastard calumny, aud
in doing so the lovely character of Imogen
is brought into other prominence. Except
tor granducr and majesty, which are re-
Kerved to other Shakespearean heroines,
Imogen is the most perfect woman in the
f-riat dramatist’s galaxy of glorious wo
men.

About $12,000- is being distributed among

amount of good to a large number of peo

ATKINSON I NAVEST POINT.
West Point, Ga., March 17. —Judge
Spencer R. Atkinson was in the city today
reminding the people of West Point and
vicinity that he is still in the race for
governor. He did not speak, but was es
corted around the city by Hon. Ben H.
Hill, member cf the legislature: Judge A.
S. Freeman, the county court, and Colonel
A. C. Mobley, of The News, and met all
the prominent men of the town. If Geor
gia votes as West Point will Candler will
win a walk.
POLITICAL POT
IS NOHfIILING
War Seems to Have Driven
It Out of the Public
Mind.
I
GUBERNATORIAL MATTERS.
Not Probable That a Berner Club
Will be Organized, But He Will
be Asked to Speak Here.
■While all the war talk has been going
on local politics have beta shamefully
neglected.
The legislative candidates have 'been
slumbering in the most delightful obli
vion and those who have announced befose
or whose candidacy was a foregone conclu
sion have been making hay very quietly.
Everyone is watching the gubernatorial
race with interest, expecting to hear
something drop within the next few days.
The rumor that Judge Atkinson might
come down is denied very emphatically by
his friends, but on Che outer hand there
are many among the Candler men and the
neutrals who think that there is some,-
thing in the rumor and .that the candidacy
of Mr. Berner has had a very eonsidenaible
effect upon that of the man from Glynn
county.
It is argued that Candler has developed
such ft markable strength *in Judge At
kinson’s ow>n stamping ground, tfhat there
■is very little doubt but that his support
ers are disappointed in that section of the
state, and it is feared that the foices that
have .been behind him will desert him in
numbers and take up Berner as the most
available man. But this is most strenu
ously denied by his .friends here and in lais
home county. Judge Atkinson is now in
the western part of the state and himself
shows no evidence of weakening.
1 he local legislative race depends to a
very considerable -extent upon the devel
opments in the gubernatorial race.
It is, however, an acknowledged fact that
'Mr. Roland Ellis, John R. Cooper and S.
A. Reid are candidates, the latter for re
election aud all of them are running good
races. Colonel J. H. Hall is looked upon
as a very strong probability, but he has as
yet declined to make an announcement
either 'formal or inlformal:
'Mr. D. D. Craig will in ail probability foe
put into Uiie race to represent tine same
element as that which put him to the
front and elected him the last time. While
not an announced candidate, ’Mr. Craig
would not be unwilling to make the race
again, and if he does enter he will, in all
probability be elected, as his course in the
last legislature was 'generally approved
and he is looked upon as a safe man by all
■parties.
Outside of these there are no names
mentioned.
(So far nothing has been stirred up in
county politics, and it is 'altogether im
probable that anything will turn up or
that the present office holders will have
any opposition.
There has been some talk about Captain
W. A. Davis entering the race for the
sheriff’s office, but the rumor is positively
denied by Mr. Davis-arid his friends. There
is not the slightest reason to expect op
position to the county officers unless the
Populists put up a forlorn hope fight,
which, of course, would not .count. The
preseiit officers are all saife and popular
men, who have discharged the duties of
their various offices with .-eifeet satis
faction to the people at large, and they
will not be disturbed.
The only chance for anything like a
lively political fight is in the legislative
race, and even here the Indications are
that nothing of very great interest will
arise.
'Tihe real interest centers in the guber
natorial race. Mr. Berner has not yet en
tered Bibb, in fact he has not been in Ma
con since he announced his candidacy, but
it is probable that his friends will invite
him here in the near future and .that he
will make another speech similar to that
delivered at Montezuma. It is not yet
certain that any Berner club 'will be or
ganized here. Mr. C. A. Turner, .who is
taking a strong Berner stand in Bi’bb and
will be found leading his supporters, says
tlhat he 'does not (know whether Mr. Ber
ner wants clubs organized in his interest,
but that a very strong fight will 'be put up
in his ’behalf.
Meanwhile the Gaudier men are quiet.
They are confident of a complete victory
in Bibb county, and have every reason 'to
think it. Colonel Candler will be invited
to speak in Bibb in the near future .by the
Candler Club.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
I his remedy is intended especially for
coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and

What is Going
On in Society.
After Lent will come the Easter wed
dings, and the engaged girls all have a de
sire to do the propar thing, so the follow
ing suggestion is in order;
“it used to be the corect thing, says
an exa_ia»g€, when a young woman was
, engaged to be married, to nave a double
picture frame In te-r boudoir, or bed room,
containing a .photograph of her fiance and
herself. Twenty-five years ago it was the
proper thing to have your photograph
taken with the young men you were en
gaged to, and that was placed on your
dressing table. Now there is a new fad.
ou must not, of ceurtse, be photographed
with your fiance —that is not considered
good form. Nor must you even nave >\our
picture in the same frame with his; The
uuw fad is to have a frame holding four
cabinet sized photographs, and in this you
must put four pictures of your fiance in
four different positions—one full face, one
side face, one three-quaiters face and one
profile. It is rather an interesting idea, as
it is astonishing how changed a person’s
expression is with the face iu different
posi Cions. One of these esets of photo
graphs was seen fne other day on a young
girls writing desk, and it was hard to be
lieve that the profile and full face wore of
the same man. This is one of the latest
fads of engaged men os well as girls.

FRENCH FANCY SILK WAISTS FROM HARPERS BAZAR
One of the new spring fancies is illus trated in a bodice of Wedgewood-blue silk
strapped with blue velvet of a much darker shade. The frone is original, made with
a wide box pleat banded in the darker tone. This Ibox 'plcat is bordered aech side
with double ruffles of hemst'iteehed lawn—- a French fancy for trimming silk and
even cloth. The bodice has little basques set over the hips and back, with vertical
rows of velvet, which are a continuation of those from the shoulder seams. The
sleeves, of the small variety one now sees oh all fancy bodices, are finished at the
wrist with plain lawn cuffs and -trimmed i n the same style as the rest of the bodice
with velvet lines in a diagonal direction. - The band at the throat is arranged for a
detachable collar, whish is worn with a crav'.it of the same material as the waisl
aud likewise banded. The belt is of velveit with an old silver buckle.
A light-weight fancy wool in wistaria color is the material of another imported
model. A yoke of Russian •embroidery, whi dh is most lavishly used in Paris at pres
ent, is outlined in’the back, as well as in the front, with Three tiny ruffles of lawn
bound with black gauze ribbon. These lit tie frills graduate to the waist, where they
are confined by a pointed and rather har flow satin girdle. The collar of the same
■satin, draped, is finished with a corres- ponding ruffle. The sleeves, in a diminuti
ve mutton-leg style, are adorned at- the wrist with two tiny, black-bordered frills.
The proper cut of both waists can be obtained from the cut patterns furnished
by Harper’s Bazar, where they appear.

NEARLY READY
. WITHEPORT
The Assessors Will Have Their
Books Ready for Council
Next Tuesday Week.
CAUSES OF THE REDUCTION.
Merchants Has Smaller Stocks, and
Owners of Large Amounts Per
sonal Property Didn’t Give It In.
The report df the assesorS will be ready
to be prcsenfcd ter the city council a week
from next Tuesday night.
As stated in lue News some days ago,
the totals will show a very considerable
reduction in the gross valuation of per
sonal and real property all over the city.
This is due to the fact that the asses
sors realize that all values of real estate
had fallen off and that the same amount
could not .be placed upon property as was
iput upon it for the last few years. Then
again the merchants have ‘been more eco
nomical in their purchase of stock.
But in tine personal property of many of
the residents of the eity it is a fact that
the returns are not as full as they ought
to be. .Many of those who have personal
property do not return it at all, and oth
ers who have a sutpera.bund’ance of it
only return in some cases about one half
of what they are really worth.
This work is an injustice upon the poor
man. who 'has for many years 'been paging
a. greater proportion of the taxes >n pro
portion to his belongings than have the
richer men of the city.
It is a condition that calls for a change.
The oonsequewce of it is that the rich man
escapes taxes ‘and the poor man pays his
taxes for him. This is a matter that was
touched upon at seme length by Mr. (Bryan
in his speech in Macon and it had a yery
great<eflect upon his hearers at it brought
the matter very closely to them.
The great difficulty wiill be to find a
cure feu the evil. This year is no excep
tion to all the years that have gone by,
by, but the injustice grows greater with
each year in a growing city like Macon.
It will take some local statesman to find
away out of the difficulty, but the man
who does find the way will earn the.eter
nal gratitude of the majority of the tax
payers of the city.
