"This," wild he, "is the telephonic mess, tiger, or talking newspaper—the only thing of its kind in the world. It has now been established in Budapest about three years. It differs from the or tlimiry telephone in the fact that the latter is directly connected with the central of fice, whereas we are aide to connect from 200 or 300 subscribers in one circuit. The city is divided into 30 circuits All day lung tmws is spoken into a specially con jtructed tipuaratns at the central office, varied with entertainments, the opera and linguistic lessons.

"The answer is very simple. Os course the new spaper feature would be impossible in Loticion, where time is everything, and a mail could nut sit the whole day with the apparatus to his ear, waiting for some particular news or exchange prices. Then, again, other towns ara not so advantage ously situated in this respect as Budapest, where the lew empowers the company to introduce the appiuatus into any house in the city in spite of the objections of the landlord.

'The general public, too, can have news in advance of the newspapers.

Without ibis apparatus they would have bad to wait until next day.” "Have you a regular daily programme?’' “Yes. It is announced in the morning and changes every half hour or so.

Telegrams of importance are communi cated at once, the telephonic messenger being in direct connection with a leading Budapest newspaper. At about 2 o’clock the morning new sis in part repeated, then come exchange prices, telegrams, law re- 1 ports, a shoit, entertaining story, theat rical items and sometimes a concert, and for an hour in the evening we get a lesson in English, Italian and French. You leave no idea what a benefit this is to the young generation and how popular these lessons are among them. A complete set of graduated exercises has been published in these languages.

Sweetwater, Tenn. MACON DID NOT BITE TWIT Resolutions Passed by Cham ber ofCommerce Endors ing Senator Bacon. . AIIIOTI ADVOCATED The Members of the Chamber of Commerce Heid Rousing Meet ing Moultrie Coming. The Chamber of Commerce at its monthly meeting held yesterday after noon got into i.ne on the war .uid passed re-elutions endorsing the course of Senator Bacon on the subject. A telegram was ordered .-ent to the senator asking him to convey to the prisident and to Congress man Bartlett the views ot the Macon Chamber ot Commerce. Senator Bacon has taken the position that war should be avoided if possible, but he does not go so far as the resolutions tiiat >iere forwarded from the Baltimore Chamber of Commerce and which are evi dently prepared by some one whose per sonal interest is to be subserved by pre venting war at any cost. It was at the request of the Baltimore cruirnber that the matter was brought up but fortunately the Macon chamber did not fall into the same error as did some of the other commercial ixrdies of the e-oiau try which have swallowed the resolutions whole and in doing so have run counter to the course that honor and decency would suggest, and in fact the position that is taken throughout the whole country. These resolutions were shelved though there was a desire on the part of a cer tain element to shove them through. But Macon is not to be caught napping so easily and the course adopted was grace ful and proper. Senattor Bacon has not taken a stand against war, lie has stated repeatedly through the columns of the papers and elsewhere that he thought that the presi dent should go slowly in the matter and that for the sake of the honor of the na tion he should proceed with the utmost caution. He has gone so far as to point out that as a senator from Georgia, a coast town, it was his duty to prevent war if it could be avoided with honor, but it is not at all probable that he will look at the action of the Chamber of Commerce as taken yesterday in the light of a pro test against war at this time or a protest against any action that the president may have determined upon and which may lead up to war. If that is the purpose of the telegram which was sent to Senator Bacon last night it is more than probable that he will look upon it in the light of an •affront. He is probably directly in line with the president in any action that he may now take and a recommendation that may be made at this time coming from any commercial bodies in the country is cal culated to carry much weight with it if it is to be construed as a protest against war under the circumstances. action of the Chamber of. Com merce is a graceful aeknowledment ok the proper course taken by Senator Bacon and as such will be accepted by him. Following is. the telegram sent to Sen ator Bacon: “Senator A. O. Bacon, Washington, D. C —The Macon Chamber of Commerce at a largely attended meeting unanimously endorses your course relative to the main t'aindng of an honorable peace and respect fully request your communicating the tame to the president and to Representa tive C. L. Bartlett. “R. M. Rogers, "President Macon Chamber of Commerce.” The Chamber of Commerce has shown that it is in line for a greater Macon. At ■he meeting held yesterday resolutions were introduced looking to the solidifying of the movement to incorporate the su burbs of Macon so as to bring them in with the city and so swell the population and the revenue. The resolutions were introduced by Mr. George A. Smith and were seconded by Mr. Jack Jones, the latter himself a ’resi dent of A’ineville, who made a strong speech in favor of the annexation of that suburb. Greater Macon is a popular move ment with the people of Macon but so far it has met with very strong opposition from the people of Vineville and some good proselyting work will have to be clone by the people who have now under taken to bring the suburbs in if they would avoid a very big fight before the legislature. Following are the resolutions as passed: AA’hereas, At a recent’session of the city council, Alderman Edward Huthnance presented a resolution favoring such steps as would secure annexation of Macon’s su burbs, so that at the next national census Macon would make a showing that would give her greater prestige., and entitle her to be styled Greater Macon, and Whereas, Council adopted said resolu tion by a unanimous vote, thereby endors ing the spirit and purpose of the same, and putting itself on record in favor of the upbuilding of the city of Macon, therefore be it Resolved, By the Chamber of Commerce, That it is in complete accord with the ac tion taken by council in reference to Ai derman Huthnauce’s resolution, and it is the sense of this organization that every reasonable and honorable effort be used to create a Greater Macon; and to that end we pledge ourselves. All Moultrie will be In Macon next week. The merchants and business ine.i gener ally of that thriving town will be the guests of the Macon Chamber of Com merce next Tuesday, and they will be ■given a right royal reception. Arrange ments were made at the meeting yester-i Jay for the entertainment of the visitors who come here to judge of Macon as a trading point. Heretofore the business of MoultHe has been directed to Savannah but the merchants there think that they ean trade better here and they have been doing so for a little time with the help of" some improved railroad rates. It is now proposed to show them that it would pay to bring all their trade to Macon and the chances are that they will not he neglected of their own interests in this direction. At any rate those who come here as the guests of the Chamber of Commerce will be made to realize that Macon can act the part of a most excel lent host. The meeting of the chamber yesterday was marked by the enthusiasm of the members and was in every way most cred itable to Macon. It was in fact indicative of the new spirit that has been imbued into the Macon Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Ketchum re-ad his mouthy re port. which was as follows: Mr. President and Members of the Chamber of Commerce: During the past month the work of the Chamber of Com merce has inc Teased in scope and much has been done on the line of policy adopt ed by this organization as the most likely to increase the efficiency of the Chamber of Commerce, and make it a practical fac tor in the development of Macon’s com mercial interests and its upbuilding on in dustrial lines. The work of the chamber under the present conditions has produced results that are a practical encouragement. Questions have been submitted to us from other commercial bodies and our prompt action through the appropriate comnfit tees and the chamber has been attested by the thanks extended us and by the prominence given to this organization in other cominereial centers. Every day proves beyond question that an organized force of the business men of any city is MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRII/6 1898. the most potential factor in guarding and developing its commercial interests and maintaining its civic importance. During the past month the first of a se ries of social meetings was held, and that it was a success is well known. At that meeting a subscription was started to se cure a fund for the construction of an other steamer for the Macon Navigation Company and marly one-half cf the de sired amount was raised in a few mo ment?. In thi? connection r desire tn call atten tion to the future social met tings that will be held at our quarters and to assure membtis that their prime object is to bring members together for social pur poses. The call for subscriptions for the boat fund at the first smoker was only an incident and not the purpose of that meet ing, and it does not form a precedent or create a rule for subsequent social gather- ‘ b-urman Martin, of the resident mem bership committee is proparing for a vigor ous campjign to secure new members, and « next regular inerting 1 have no dout.t I will be able to report a gratifying im.resw in the membership of this body.

On the 12tli of this month, through in vitation of the Chamber of Commerce, the merchants of Moultrie, Ga., will visit the city of Macon and form a closer acquaint ance with our business men. The special committee of arrangements for this occa sion, consisting of Capt. I. B. English, chairman; Mr. George A. Macdonald and Mr. Henry Horne, have made all the nec essary arrangements and the outcome of their visit to -Macon as our guests cannot fail to have a good result. A motion was made that the newspapers be requested to publish the report and it was adopted. The meeting was in session over an hour and a half and was about, the liveliest held in some time.
