6 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, druggists. 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. Cal. For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists. 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 sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists. 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.

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.
