EVEMONE MUST
ROOT FOR MERCER
Great Game Will be Played
at the Ball Grounds at
the Park Tomorrow.
LINE UP Os THE TEAMS.
Opening of the Season in College
Baseball Milledgeville Author
ities Establish Quarantine,
The game of ball between Mercer and
the Cadets of Milledgeville, which will be
the first of he season, will be played in
Maeon Instead of Milledgeville, as wsa at
first announced.
Manager Whitney went over to Milledge
ville yesterday and pursuaded the Mil
ledgeville- boys to come over here and play
the -game, as there are many advantages
to both teams in playing In Macon. A
larger crowd would attend and the gate
receipts would he a great deal larger, and
there were several other good reasons,
among which was one that the authori
ties in Milledgeville had stated -they
would quarantine against the Macon boys
coming, over there.
Yesterday Mayor Horne, of the former
city telegraphed Manager Whitney that
tne exercises would have to be called off,
as Milledgeville has quaraptined against
Macon, therefore Hie game had to be ar
ranged to be played here.
Manager Whitney and , Charley Harris
•went ovbr yesterday afternoon to meet
the board of health of that city to try and
convince them that there was no danger
whatever in bringing the team' and ex
cursionists over, but the trip was of no
avail.
After a long conference. In which all
the facts were placed before the board
concerning the cases now existing in the
city, they decided to put the quarantine
in effect at once in order to be on the
safe side.
The citizens of the town were very much
against the decision, as the merchants al
ways were bet- find to a great extent by
the Mercer boy’s annual excursion. The
fact that the crowd -that has heretofore
gone over with the boys on the trip were
the best people socially, should have been
enough to convince the board of healtn
that there was no danger whatever in al
lowing the excursion to be run.
The invitation tendered the .Mercer base
ball team by the mayor and council was
flatly refused, as they would not -come out
financially as well were the excursion to
be run.
But the garni' has not been called off
by any means. Tomorrow afternoon Ed
O’Connell will call “play ball’’ promptly
at 3:30 al -Central City park. No doubt a
large crowd will be' out to witness the
annual game between the “Tigers” and
the Cadets, even if it is not played al the
old capital city.” Manager Fairfield and
his team of Cadets will come over to Ma
con tomorrow via the Central and will have
their headquarters at -the Brown House.
The two teams will be as follows:
Mercer Cadets.
Jones, B catcher Brantley
(Mansfield pitcher Ellison
Garrett first base Reynolds
Harris second bjse Outlaw
Stinson third base Stalney
Kirvvln short stop Walker
Jones. R left field Wall
Acree center field Conn
Copeland right field Grimes
The real strength of tne Mercer team
will bo tested tomorrow afternoon when
they go on the diamond with the’cadets
from Milledgeville, ns the boys are In very
good trim and every man on the team will
be expected to put up the best game he
can.
The handsome new suits which the Mer
cer boys have just received, will be worn
for the first time in this game. These
suits arc very attractive, and were the
highest price that the Spalding Company
make. They are*of blue with red trim
mings, black and yellow, colors of the
team, stockings, with the initial of the
Mercer on the breasts of the shirts.
Subscrrbers must pay up and not allow
small balances to run over from week to
week. The carriers have been in strueted
to accept no part paymeat from anyone
after April Ist.

SWORD 2,000 YEARS OLD.
Presented by the Czar of Russia to Pres
ident Johnson.
I. J’. Farmer, the county surveyor of
Columbiana county, 0., who resides at
Lisbon, has in his possesion one of the
rarest historical specimens in existence.
It is an old Damascus blade which, it is
claimed, is over 2,000 years old. It is of
crude design and workmanship and was
made entirely by hand, the irregularity of
its lines proving ... ire conclusively than
anything else its antiquity.
Shortly after the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln an unsuccessful attempt was
made upon Iho life of thtvczar of Russia.
A fleet of American warships was sent on
a cruise across the ocean and incidentally
carried a message- of congratulation to
Russia’s ruler from President Johnson
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Fox ac
companied the squadron on board the
Miantonotnob, commanded by John J.
Cornwell of Lisbon, O. Secretary Fox was
presented with the sword by the czar in
person, as a token of his high esteem, ac
companied by the following speech:
“I present to you, sir, ns the represent
ative« one of the foremost and mightiest
of modern nations, this saber, as a ma
terial appreciation of your nation’s high
regard for my welfare and safety. Through
ages it has been treasured in the archives
of my fathers as a semblance of the mighty
races that swayed the destinies of future
generations on the shores of the Mediter
ranean; it was’carried through scenes of
carnage which marked the upbuilding of
’ ’ho powerful sovereignty of western Asia
.nd has outlived the kingdoms it helped
juild.
The ancient treasure was accepted by
he secretary, with an appropriate re
sponse, and as the fleet steamed out of the
Russian port ho presented the sword to
Commander Corn well
While the fleet was off Toulon, Franco,
Commander Cornwell died suddenly of
heart failure. The vessels pulled in at the
port and a telegram was sent to Faris for
i burial casket. A squad of marines under
command of a lieutenant was sent on
shore to receive the casket from the train
and convey it aboard the dead command
er’s vessel. The casket missed connections,
but the sailors, who were unaware of tbs
fact, hustled a casket which arrived on
the train off to the Ironclad. The fact that
.-ho box was quite heavy did not excite the
suspicion of the sailors and after it had
been taken to the cabin the mate opened
the cover. Consternation reigned on board
when there was disclosed the body of a
beautiful young lady, buried in a wealth
of Howers.
The lid of the casket was hurriedly re
stored to its place, and preparations were
promptly made to return the body to the
depot in Toulon. But the story of the al
leged seizure had spread, creating intense
excitement in the French port, and a city
official was preparing to board the Ameri
can warship with a search warrant. Ex
planations were made, but the mistake
came near causing an international dis
ruption.
The French newspapers char notarized
the actions of the American sailors in the
most scathing terms, assuming that the
taking of the body of the young lady was
a prearranged plan.
Commander Cornwell was buried at
Toulon, and the old sword was given into
his widow’s keeping, and she in turn pre
sented it to her brother-in-law, Mr. Farm
er.
The blade is 221a inches long and 1 inch
wide, tapering to a point. The hilt is made
of horn, ornamented with twisted brass
wire, and is as hard as adamant. The
crosspieces are of leather, tipped with sheet
brass. The scabbard is ns interesting as
tire blade, being fashioned from wood,
with a sheet brass covering- It was orna
mented in crude style by indents of a
pointed tool. Near the hilt-, on the blade,
are a number of odd characters resembling
ancient Hebrew inscriptions.—Philadel

WILL FULL MOON
BRING J[G FROST
Frost Fires Were Burning
Last Night Ail Over the
Fruit Belt.
DANGER AGAIN TONIGHT
So Far However No Damage Has
Been Done in This Section, But
Higher Up it is Worse.
Ail over the state last night frost fires
Were burning in the fruit orchards of
Georgia.
1 iie-se fires are the only means of pro
tecting fruit from frost. Pine straw and 1
trash are piled up io the windward side
of the orchards and the straw is damp
ened with water. After 1 o’clock at nigat
the piles are lighted, and the burning of
the damp straw creates dense clouds of
smoke which serve as a warm mantle for
the fruit trees. Small fruit growers burn
the fires every time frost is expected.
The cold wave that is on now supports
the theory of the old timers. Any old timer
will tell you that there is always a cold
wave and a frost just preceding the full
moon in April. Next Wednesday, April 6,
the moon will be full, and the old timer
swears that we will have a big frost before
that time; then he says fruits and all else
will be safe. Since 1839 the records of the
weather bureau and Grier’s almanac show
that the dates of the last fro’sts of the
season and the full moon in April are
nearly the same. The frosts usually oc
cur a few days previous to the full moon.
A large majority of the public believes
that the moon governs the weather condi
tions on the earth. They take Grier’s al
manac and see what it says of the moon,
and then map out their work accordingly.
If they are farmers they plant their crops
by the moon.
To show how nearly their theory is cor
rect a few comparative figures are given.
In 1888, ten years ago, the last frost of
the season occurred May 15th, and the full
moon in April was on the 26th. In 1889
the last frost was on June Ist, the latest
frost on record, and nearly two monciis
after the full moon in April, which oc
curred on the 15th. These instances go to
oppose the old timer’s theory, but the oth
ers go to support it.
On April *5, 1891, the last frost of the
season occurred. On April 23d, directly
afterwards, the moon was full. In 1892
the last frost occurred on April 12, the
same day of the full of the moon. In 1893
there were two full moons in April, but
the first practically beldnged to the pre
ceding month, as it, occurred on the first
day of the month. The second full moon
was on April 30th, and on the 24th, six
days previous, the last frost occurred. In
April, 1894, the moon was full on the 19th,
and the last frost fell on the 12th, just a
week before.
Eighteen ninety-five shows a break in the
old timer’s rule. In that year the April
moon was full on the 9th, and .the frost
fell on May 13th, more than a month after
wards. This didn’t phase the old timer,
although it killed his English peas and
tomatoes.
In 1896 the last frost occurred April 3d,
and the moon was full on the 27th of the
month. Last year the last frost fell pn
March 28th, and three days later, on the
Ist of April, the moon was full.
The following table shows the date’s on
which the last frosts have occurred for the
last twenty years, beginning 1879:
1879 April 4 1880 June 1
1880 April 12 1890 March 17
1881 April 5 1891 .. April 5
1882 May 17 1892 April 12
1883 May 23 1893 April 24
1885 .. . ✓ .. April 14 1895 May 13
1886 April 1 1896 Apiil 3
1887 .. .. ...April 5 1897 March 28
1888 May *ls
During these years killing frosts have
fallen seven times after the Ist day of
April . It will be noticed that the last
frosts have fallen in nearly every instance
before or about the time for the full moon
in April. So the old timer may be partly
right after all in his belief in the moon,
although the belief Is looked upon by some
as an old superstition.
“A word to the wise is sufficient,” and a
word from the wife should be sufficient,
but, you ask, who are the wise? Those
who know. The oft-repeated experience of
trustworthy persons may be taken for
knowledge. Mr. W. M. Terry says Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy gives better s^t- e
isfaction than any other on the market.
He has.been in the drug business at Elk
ton. Ky., for twelve years, has sold hun
dreds of bottles of this remedy, and nearly
all other cough medicines manufactured,
which shows conclusively that Chamber
lain’s is the most satisfactory to the peo
ple, and is the best. For sale by H. J.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Executive Committee of the Macon Carnival
Association.
An important meeting of the executive
committee of the Macon Carnival Associa
tion will be held at the Qhamber of Com
merce this afternoon at which time all of
the various committees will make their
reports. President Waxelbaum says that
at this meeting he hopes the members will
be present. .
At the meeting this afternoon the work
for the committees will be mapped out in
definite shape, as the time for making
preparations for the big diamond jubilee
is at hand. So far nothing at ali has been
done, and to arrange a program for such
an occasion it will take several months’
hard work.
TAKING A HOLIDAY.
The School Children Take Advantage of
April Fool Day,.
A large number of the school children
are playing truants today, and have gone
to the different parks of the city to spend
the day.
About seventy-five of the young ladies
of the High School left the school this
morning, and sent the teacher a note tell
ing her that they knew that she needed
rest and that they had two good chaperones
with them and were going out to enjoy the
day in the woods.
The custom of deserting school duties
on the first of April will never be forgot
ten by the children, and they always take
advantage of it.
THE FRUIT CROP
i Will be More Bountiful Than for' Years if no
Heavy Frost.
During the past week all the fruit crop
has developed wonderfully. All over this
country strawberry plants are full of ber
ries larger than usual. In many p.aees
the fruit is almost as large as an ordinary
I thimble. The plants appea’r to have more
; fruit on them than last year, and of finer
• quality.
One of the leading fruit growers said to
I a reporter yesterday:
“The fruit is of a very fine quality.
■ while there .is an increased acreage all
' over the country. We feel that there' will
i be no serous losses, if any, from frost. In
’ my opinion it is rather late for a heavy
j frost; however, we cannot tell.”

GETTING ONTO BERNER .
| A Georgian ’ Reviews His Record and Re
cent Utterances.
I read with much interest your editorial
ion “The Demagogue' 1 yesterday You
' showed the Hon. Robert JL, Berner up in
his true light to a limited extent. You
could have gone mucn further.
Did you ever see a candidate for office
howl as much about the oppressed people
and especially the farmer, as he? And do
you know that he never plowed a furrow
in his life, nor has he anything- comlnon
with the poorer classes or tne “farmers.”
He has been Interested in them to the
extent of working a living out of them,
and that is about all.
Mr. Editor, is there a man in ail your
acquaintance who has persistently, on all
occasions, attempted the role of the aris
tocrat as arduously as Col. Berner?
What does he know or care about the
“people?” 1 am told by good people of
Monroe county that he is a haughty, cold
•selfish man,and from what I have seen of
him I am convinced that there is no man
, in Georgia who is by nature and habit
further removed from the people than Col.
Robert L. Berner.
He pretends now to be very rabid on the
railroad question. Why, it is strange that
he would even ride on a railroad car. But
is he sincere? He now tells the people of
Georgia that the constitution of Georgia
has been shamelessly violated. Does tw
believe such? If he does then he is cer
tainly not a friend of the state. He is
now and has been for two years past a
state senator. He has had every oppor
i tunity to remedy this evil he says now
exists, but he was as silent as the grave
on the question. He could do nothing,
more than recommend an investigation if
he were governor. The legislature would
have to pass the resolution to investigate
the matter. So, you see, he has just served
out bls term in the senate, and has been
ominously silent about the question. I can
prove that he was written to by a Macon
gentleman and asked to introduce a reso
lution looking- tg such an investigation.
Mr. Berner, you now declare that the
constitution is now and has been shame
lessly violated. Why, in the name of the
struggling masses of Georgia did you not
come to their relief while it was in your
power? It is a late day or you to be
howling about the constitution's violated.
You are either very insincere now, or very
incompetent while in the senate from this
district.
Now, Mr. Berner, since you saw that
Col. Candler did not want to have any joint
deDales, and refused Judge Atkinson, you
have challenged him. Don't you think you
are acting the part of the fellow who
wanted to know “who struck Billy Pat
terson?” If Col. Candler were to accept,
you and Judge Spencer would both be
scored out of you rboots, and you know it.
Do you think it would really be well to
have joint debates? They Became very
unpleasant for Evans and Atkinson during
their campaign. Gordon and Bacon had
to discontinue them. Crisp and Smith
found that they were not a success, and
stopped them.
The state of South Carolina furnishes us
biennially with a disgraceful scene that
ought to disgust all decent people. The
joint debates in that state have all degen
erated into a battle of billingsgate. The
words ‘thief,” “liar,” “scoundrel,” form
the principal part of the vocabulary of the
candidates.
I hope Col. Candler will accept your in
vitation to have a few joint debates. If
he does you will find that what the la
mented R. U. Hardeman, state treasurer,
said, is true. He was standing on a side
walk in Macon three years ago, talking to
several gentlemen, and remarked: “Gen
tlemen, yonder comes the • best stump
speaker in Georgia.” “Who is it?” in
quired one of the party. “It is old Allen
D. Candler, said Col. Hardeman. Yes, I
expect Col. Berner will get a dose of Col
Candler before the race is over. If Col.
Candler will enter the lists, Col. Berner
will have wished’ that he had gnawed a
file and fled unto the mountains of Hep
sidam, where the lion roareth and the
whangdcodle moaneth for its first born.

Zola at floinC-.
Zola’s great source of material enjoy
ment is sumptuous furniture. His taste
in this respect is Italian. French country
houses are very simply furnished. The
curtains, when there are curtains, are gen
erally chintz. Zoin’s place near Triol is
an exception. The study, salon and din
ing room there reminded me, so far as
furniture went, of the staterooms at Isola
Bella. The bedrock of Zola’s sensorium Is
Venetian. Ho has the instincts of the
magnifico. This may seem discrepant with
what I said about his presence being like
St. Paul’s. But his mother was a French
peasant. She redeemed him from Italian
trickiness and gave him his toughness and
lo\e of hard work. Ho has, in spite of bis
nervousness, Italian suavity. The agitation
is only surface; down deep he is pococu
rante. No task daunts him. He is as
methodic as Anthony Trollope ami writes
whether in town or country so many pages
and no more a day and then cycles, boats,
gardens or chats with friends who come
down to Triel to pass the afternoon. The
house there was at first a one story road
side cottage, with a room to right and left
of the little hall. Addition after addition
have made it quite a big place. The gar
den has been widened and lengthened
down to the river, where there is a boat
house. Zola is owner of an island facing
hjs garden. The fine furniture greatly ties
him down. It represents, with the villa,
the interest of so much money that he
thinks ho cannot afford to summer unless
at Triel.
The simplicity of La Salle de la Gomme
at Ste. Pelagic will be a groat change after
Zola’s domestic sumptuosities. Fortunate
ly that prison is on a hill and the air and
view extensive. “La Salle de la Gomme”
moans ‘‘the swell’s room.” Rochefort
madp there last week a charming halt in
his feverishly busy lite, find he wrote a
preface—an exquisite gem of French liter
ature —for the Carau d’Aehe edition of
Lafontaino's “Fables.”—Paris Cor. Lop

A Story of Capoul.
Alas, poor Paul Capoul! His once over
wliclming popularity availed him little
when be arrived in Paris to compete for
the directorship of the Opera .Comique,
and he has been obliged to return again to
his admirers in America. Talking of
Capoul, I heard a rather funny tale about
him the other day. It was when he was
at the height-of his popularity, when coats
and hats, shoes and socks were being
named after him and half the men in
Paris wore their hair a la Capoul. The
celebrated tenor was traveling in the prov
inces and went into a hairdresser’s shop in
a country town to have his hair cut.
“Wbas stylo would you like, sir?” said the
man as Capoul sat down. “Can’t you
see how I like it cut?” said the singer,
puffing with self importance. “A la Ca
poul, my good man—a la Capoul, of
course.” “Oh, indeed, sir?” returned the
man; “but, if 1 might make so bold as to
give you a word of advice, I should say,
change it, sir. It may suit some people's
face, but it really isn't at all becoming to
you.”—London Sketch.

MANY EVILS
Have Developed in the Use of Fireproofed
Wood in Ships.
New York. April 1. —The use of fireproof
weed in as a building material for vessels
I is no: a success. The danger from fire is
remedbd for a while, but many other evils
■ have developed through their use.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose
I veil finds as an objection to the .fireproof
wood adopted that it is expensive to work,
dulling tools. That is of minor conse-
• cuence, however, but mere serious objec
tions are that it corrodes and by
j its absorption of moisture keeps the decks
i soaked and water-logged.
I Perhaps the most serious charge, how
! ever, is that the chemicals are washed
‘ out by water, and then the wood is more
i inflammable than if not treated by the fire
proofing precess.
It should fie said tiyit these views have
not been held in ali the reports of navy
officers on the subject, and Secretary Long
will pass final judgment in the matter. But
in view of the extra cost of the process and
the extra weight ot the wood, it would
not be strange if the fl-proofed material
should at least be kept out of neA- tor
pedo boats, where the real danger of a shot
is not that it would fire but that it would
sink the crate
