LEW TEAMS
DOWNTO WORK
When All the Different Big
Teams Are Getting in
Their Practice.
RELIGION GETS ESTERBOOK.
The Dude of the League Has Found
a New Line—Some Dots of
Different Players.
The Baltimore team will leave Macon
tonight and as -stated in The News yester
day will go to Savannah to play a game
of indoor baseball for the benefit of the
Young Men’s Christian Association.
All along the League line pickets have
been sent out on patrol duty. In a dozen
camps the work of preparation for the
longest campaign in League history is be
ing rapidly pushed.
Only one team is at home. The Senators
find the air on the Potomac balmy enough
for their purposes. The Bostons are at
Greensboro, among the Tar Heels of the
Old North State. Two teams are circu
lating in Georgia. The Baltimores are here
in Macon, and the Chicagos at Waycross.
The remaining trio of the Eastern division
are in New Jersey. With New York's
Giants at Lakewood, the Brooklyn’s forces
at Allaire and the Phillies at Cape May,
the sportive Sand Snipes are feeling agree
ably important.
West Baden is entertaining the Col
onels and St. Louis Browns, Pittsburg's
Pirate Band at Little Rock, and Oliver
Wendell Tebeau’s Indians at Hot Springs
have already met in several ante-season
skirmishes. Cincinnati’s Reds are still in
Texas and will remain there ten more
days.
“DUDE” ESTERBROOK.
Nearly every ball crank in the country,
or at least the older element of them, re
members Tommy Esterbrook, better known
as “Dude” Esterbrook, the one-time idol
of New York “fans,” the star third base
player of the National League, the Beau
Brummel of the baseball world.
It was in the days of the old Metropoli
tans, from ’Bl to ’B7, that Esterbrook dis
tinguished himself, being then in the
zenieth of his meteor-like career. But
1890 saw the last of Tommy as a profes
sional ball player, it being in that year
year he broke his arm while playing on the
New York team, after which he perma
nently retired. People who knew Ester
brook in those days even after he left the
ball field and settled down in his boy
hood’s home, Brooklyn, will remember him
as the most fastidious dresser in the busi
ness.
It’s hard to associate “Dude” Ester
brook, the human fashion plate, the gay
man about town of a few years ago, with
the Esterbrook of today; a victim of reli
gious mania, but such he surely is.
When asked what was the cause of his
sudden religious turn of mind, Esterbrook
replied, “the world, the flesh and the
devil. When I say the world I mean the
people, aye the people, they constitute the
world and it’s the people and not the
world that causes us to sin and heaps our
trials and tribulations upon us. Iv’e had
my hard rubs, you understand, and I’ve
seen life in all its forms and all its phases,
land I found out that when you are down
everybody points at you; but if you are
on the top of the heap you are a good fel
low, everybody wants to shake your hand,
hit you on the back and tell you how
clever you are, but all the time they are
talking they are trying to steal a base on
you, do you understand. I found this out
and left the world and turned to the
Lord.”
CAMP-FIRE NOTES.
Jack Boyle has moved on to Cape May.
Joe Campbell calls the Quakers the All-
Sorts Combination.
Little Eva Lange and Frank Chance
both laid in a sprained ankle at Way
cross.
Director Hammer, of the Colonels, ought
to be able to bring matters there to a
head.
Little Eva Lange’s trials at Waycross
have been acute. There are no soubrettes
there.
Charley Nichols, Boston’s star twirler,
wants more coin, and may not sign a Bos
ton contract.
Bunting and right-field hitting are the
lessons Tutor Ewing had on the black
board at Houston.
Jimmy Chard will leave the latter part
of the week for Norfolk. Va., which is to ;
be the scene of h’s ’9B slab operations.
Big Chief Tebeau chases the Indians to i
bed at 10:30 at Hot Springs. They are
expected to be up in time to do an early
sun dance.
Rock bottom figures are offered minor
leaguers this year that make major league
salaries look like princely incomes in com
parison.
Jack Corcoran, better known as
“Corkie,” is now at Norfolk, where his
game leg which kept him out of the game
most of last season, is giving him no
trouble.
Al Jacks, who played with the Reds in
one of their practice games, is an athlete
and wrestler and was once anchor on the
tug-of-war team at the Detroit High
School.
Cincinnatians had all but forgotten that
Frank Hahn was on earth. Advices from
Nashville are to the effect that Cincinnati
had relinquished claim on him and that
he would go to Detroit.
Captain Dahlen! There is a surprise par- ‘
ty. Perhaps Manager Tom Burns, by
holding the bauble of ambition before the
short stop can get greater work out of an
acknowledged great player, one of whose
faults has been listlessness.
MERCER IN GOOD SHAPE.
■
Will Open the Season With Milledgeville-
Athens to Follow.
The Mercer and Baltimore baseball
teams will meet again this afternoon on
the ball diamond at the ball park for the
last game that will be played here in some
time, and it will be the last exhibition
game of the Baltimore team here.
The full Mercer team will be out this
afternoon to take part in the game, and it
i will be one of the most interesting that
has been played on the diamond here in
some time. The Mercer boys are not so
frightened at the big heavy hitters of the
Orioles' team, and will not be so wild this
afternoon.
Mansfiled will be in the box for the Mer
cer boys, and Hoffer or Pond will pitch for
the Orioles. For the past few days Mans
field has been suffereing from a very sore
arm, and has not been able to show up in
as good fom as usual.
The iMereer boys have been taking ad
vantage of the points they have received
from the Baltimore team, and have been
practicing with a view to interesting the
big hitters this afternoon.
The uniforms of the Mercer tea have
not yet arrived but are expected every day,
and will b worn for the first time when
the team foes to Milledgeville to play the
Cadets on April 2.
The Mercer baseball team, which is get
ting some good practice with the Orioles
and has had a good trainer in MoCraw,
more commonly called “Scrappy,” will go
1 over to Milledgeville on Saturday, April
2d and will open the season with a game
with the school there.
The Mercers are in good shape to start
out the season and they are simply itch
ing for a chance at Athens. When these
two old-time oponents on the diamond do
meet there will be a hot time and interest
has been aroused so that the rooting will
be something terrible to see.
The Mercer ball team is especially strong
and they are practicing hard and are de
termined to do more than sustain the rep
utation of the college for baseball.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be supplied
with every means posisble for its relief.
It is with pleasure we publish the follow
ing: “This is to certify that I was a ter
rible sufferer from yellow jaundice for over
six months and was.treated by some of the
best physicians in our city and all to no
avail. Dr. Bell, our druggist, recommended
Electric Bitters, and after taking two bot
tles, I was entirely cured. I now take great
pleasure in recommending them to any
one suffering from this terible malady. ’ I
am gratefully yours, M. A. Hogarty, Lex
ington, Ky.” Sold by H. J. Lamar & Sons,

TATTNALL SQUARE
Presbyterians Are Having a Great Revival at
Their Church.
The good work of Dr. Bachman goes on
and yesterday afternoon the children, the
lambs of the flock of Jesus, the hope of the
church and the country for the future
were looked after and carefully instructed
in the way in which they should go, and
to seek the guidance of the great shep
herd, that He may lead them in the green
pastures and by the still waters in this
life, and into the delightful presence of
the lamb of God that taketh away the sin
of the world hereafter.
Much feeling was manifested and no
doubt much good done.
At night the long suffering patience of
the Lord was dwelt upon to the comfort
and edification of all who were present.
The services tonight, Friday, will be the
last of the week, and it is to be hoped the
needed rest to the doctor will reinvigorate
him for the coming and last week of his
ministrations among us. He has done
much good and looks for much more.
MR. GRAVES HERE.
Arrived on Central Train—A Banquet Will
be Tendered Him.
All arrangements have been completed
for Mr. Graves’ lecture on the “Twentieth
Century Woman” at Wesleyan tonight,
and a large number of tickets have been
sold. The Mercer boys wiil attend in full
force, and the Wesleyan girls will grace
the occasion with their smiles and beauty.
They are curious to hear the prophecy of
the ideal woman of the next century—and
the speaker of the evening will doubtless
gather inspiration from their interest.
Mr. John Roach Straton will introduce
Mr. Graves, and besides the faculties of
Mercer and Wesleyan a number of dis
tinguished gentlemen from the city will
occupy seats on the platform.
The lecturer arrived on the Central I
train from Atlanta this morning, and was i
met by a committee and escorted to his
hotel. He will stay over tomorrow and
be the guest of the Kappa Alpha frater
nity of which he is a member, at their
banquet Saturday night. No event for a
long time past has aroused as much inter
est in Macon as this lecture, and an en
thusiastic audience will pack Wesleyan
chapel to the doors tonight.
I have been afflicted with rheumatism
for fourteeen years and nothing seemed to
give me any relief. I was able to be
around al Ithe time, but constantly suf
fering. I had tried everything I could hear
of and was at last told to try Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm, which I did, and was
immediately relieved and in a short time
cured. I am happy to say that it has not
since returned.—Josh. Edgar, Germantown.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
The Sale Os Season Tickets is Opening Up
Well.
Macon is to have a grand May Musical
Festival under the auspices of the Young
Men's Christian Association and a very
considerable amount of interest, has been
aroused.
The fact that Wesleyan has subscribed
for SIBO worth of the season tickets is an
indication of the rate at which they’ are
going. The festival is made up of the At
kinson Campany which has forty-two peo
ple in the chorus and a number of very
strong principals.
The season tickets for the three days
sell for? 3 and as the guarantee is neces
sarily large the association is anxious to
sell as large a number of the tickets, as
possible.
It will be a great musical treat to a
large number of people in Macon.
Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of the English
Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when
suffering with rheumatism, was advised to
try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He says:
“A few applications of this linament
proved of great service to me. It sub
dued the inflammation and relieved the
pain. Should any sufferer profi-t by giving
Pain Balm a trial it wil please me.” For

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 25 1898.
AMERICANS HAVE SUFFERED
In Cuban War Second Only to Spain—Citi
zens Killed and Trade Destroyed.
Washington, March 25—The report of
the Cuban commission dwells upon the
misery horror of the situation of the
! reconcentrados. The report says that one-
I half of the inhabitants of the rural dis
■ triers of Cuba are dead. The Spaniards
have suffered severely, also, it is said.
; They have lost prestige and their finan
i cial resources are quite exhausted.
The report makes clear the fact that the
United States has suffered from the effects
of the war second only to that of Spain in
Cuba. American citizens have been mal
treated, imprisoned, wounded and killed,
and American commerce destroyed.
It is positively stated that the Cubans
are consequently by the Spanish force, and
that they will hold their position for lib
erty with unflinching persistency.
It is said that the future of Cuba is
American, and that even now American
speculators are traversing the island, mak
ing options and buying real estate at so
low’ a price as to make enormous returns
in the future. The belief of the commis
sion is that Cubans are capable of self
government.

IN DANGER
Are Foreigners Residing in Ching Kia'.g,
China.
Shanghai, March 25.—An anit-foreign
demonstration has taken place at Ching
Kiang, in the province of Kiang-Soo. A
mission student was murdered and the
American Episcopal Mission destroyed.
Three of the murderers of the student were
sentenced to death, but a large force of
Chinese malitia refused to allow the sen
tence to be executed. The foreign consuls
demand the dispersal of the militia, and
the execution of the sentence of death pro
nounced up the murderers. They also de
mand that the authorities offer a reward
c>f 5,0000 taels for the arrest of the ring
leaders of the demonstration, and that
they afford full protection to the mission
aries and their property. It is feared that
the authorities are too weak to control
the disorderly element and preserve order.

Until It Brought Him to
Death’s Door.
Mr. James S. Harrison, a well-known
and highly respected citizen of Cleve
land, ()., was for years a sufferer from
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:
Gentlemen: For the benefit of all
suffering from dyspepsia and general
debility I beg to submit my testimonial
as to the efficacy of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, as a positive
cure for all the distressing complaints
from which 1 suffered.
My system was also full of Malaria
and my condition was growing very
serious ; I had no appetite, was losing
strength and was completely broken
down in health, but now my health is
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
of restoring me to my accustomed
health. Yours truly,
JAMES S. HARRISON",
