loyal lovers of the Confederacy in Macon,
that as the years go on the day seems to
be more generally honored here than ever
before. The Ladles' Memorial Associa

it is largely due to the noble work of its
members that the graves of the dead he
roes have been so well taken care of.

The Two Teams Are Anxious
for the Game This
Afternoon.
The largest crowd that has attended a
ball game in Macon in some years will be
present this afternoon when Umpire Ed
O’iConnell calls the game between Mercer
and the University of Georgia.
The game has not only excited the most
intense local interest, but has attracted
attention all over the state, and there will
lie hundreds of visitors here to see it.
Manager Winters, of the Consolidated, has
made every arrangement to handle the
large crowd that will go down.
The Atchns boys reached the city last
night over the Macon and Northern from
Athens, and were conducted to the Brown
House where they will make their head
quarters during their stay in Macon. The
team is not as strong as it was hoped to
have this year, but the Athens men are
all confident that'they will win out. A
large number of the students came along
to witness the game, ftnd many bets are
being made, but. no odds are given.
Tin' sponsors for Mercer will be Misses
Edith Stetson and Cleveland Smith, and
they will be accompanied by Professors
Mosley and Kilpatrick. The sponsors for
Georgia will be Misses Ella May Williams
and Fannie Lane. They will be accompa
nied by Messrs. Salisbury Huff and Tom
Hardeman.
The following will be the line-up of the
two teams:
Georgia. Position. Mercer.
Moore catcher Jones, B.
Curtis or Cox pitcher Mansfield
Jones second base Harris
Heidt third base .Stinson
Tiehenor (cap!) ..shortstop ...Massenbung
Huff left field Jones, R.
dußignon center field Aeroe
Walker right field Copeland
Weddington .... first base Garrett
Substitutes—Georgia: BrighfwelJ, Mc-
Bride, Dußose. Mercer: AVachtel, Kirven,
Whitney.
Captain Tiehenor says lie is looking "for
his men to win out easily, and that the
Georgia boys have 'been greatly over
rated this year. Moore lias been induced
(o play this game, and he is the strongest
man of the team. Ho will catch. Moore
was the first man up in the Pennsylvania
game and thumpped out a home run the
first ball over the plate. Athens’ weakest
point is said to be in the box, and if this
is the ease the Mercer boys will have foot
laces around the bases, for every man on
the team this year is especially good with
his stick work. It has net been fully de
cided yet as to whether Curtis or Cox will
pitch for Georgia.
Jim Mansfield wiil present his ever
smiling face to the batters on the Georgia
team, and Bruce Jones will wash for the
"cherries.”
Admirers of both the colleges in the
state will watch the game with the most
intense interest, and it is probable that
the people at Athens will have the game
reported to them over the telephone as
they did last year.
The crowd will be the largest that has
assembled at the park in years despite the
fact that today is memorial day.

IN EAST MACON.
Residents Preparing to Make Move Toward
Getting a Bridge.
The residents of East Macon are prepar
ing to make a move todwards getting a
new bridge across the river at Fifth
street, and they say promise after promise
has boon broken with them, and that now
they are going to take the matter in their
own hands and see why they'can’t get the
city to build them a new one.
They have not yet decided on just what
they will do, but they are determined not
to risk their lives and property on the
present structure any longer.
Bis Maiden Speech.
Tho malady known as “stage fright” is
by no moans confined to tho stage or to
people deficient in sols confidence. It is
one of tho peculiarities of tho house of
commons,'AS related by Mr. Michael Mac
Bonagh in tho “Book of Parliament,”
that it not only expects but demands a
certain amount of stage fright in a mem
ber’s maiden speech as an indication of a
•‘becoming awe of the august assembly
listening to his words.”
When Mr. Joseph Chamberlain was first
elected, an old friend, who was also an old
member of the house of commons, came
to him and gnvo him this bit of advice:
“You know you have come into the
house rather late, and you have some sort
of reputation outside. Tho house of com
mons docs not like outside reputation. It
is accustomed to make and unmake its
own. As you are going shortly to make
your maiden speech, if you could contrive
to break down a little I think the house
of commons would take it ns a compli
ment, and you will be ali the better for it. ”
There are occasional failures to got off
one’s maiden speech, though it may have
boon conned hundreds of times. Tho most
extraordinary breakdown that ever oc
eu.-rod in the house happened some years
ag*> The address hi answer to the queen’s
speech was to bo seconded by a young
country member in a maiden speech. Ho
came attired, as is customary on tho occa
sion, in uniform—in the gorgeous attiro
of a captain of mounted yeomanry. He
stood up in his piece, and, grasping tho
hilt of his sword w ith his left hand, in
dulged in some graceful gestures with his
right, but though bis lips wore seen to
move not a sound could be heard by the
house.
For nearly five minutes the honorable
and gallant gentleman continued this
dumb show and sat down. The most re
markable feature of the incident was that
the honorable gentleman did not himself
miss the sound of his vocal organs; all
through the incident ho seemed to be un
der the impression tiint tho house was lis
tening with rapt attention, to his eloquent
periods, set to tho exquisite music of his
voice.
What Sympathy Could 80.
It is difficult to imagine a bright sido to
prison life, and when to confinement is
added the gloom of insanity tho darkness
seems impenetrable. The author of “The
Dungeons of Old Paris, ” however, gives a
touching picturo of what womanly sym
pathy once accomplished even in so ex
treme a case.
There was a strangely sympathetic sido
to this saddest of the prisons of Paris (St.
t.nznro, for women). The sick and worn
out were always tenderly regarded by
their follow prisoners, and if a woman
died in the prison it was not unusual for
the rest to club together to provide a cost
ly funeral.
In the early years of the restoration a
pretty peasant girl named Marie was sent
to St. Lazaro for stealing roses. She had
a passion for tho flower, and a thousand
mystical notions had woven themselves
about it in her mind. She said that rose
trees would detach themselves from their
roots and glide after her wherever sho
went to tempt her to pluck the blossoms.
One in a garden, taller than the rest, had
compelled her to climb the wall and gath
er as many roses as she could, and there
the gendarmes found her.
This poor giri excited the most vivid in
terest in that sordid place. Tiie prisoners
plotted to restore her to reason, christened
her Rose, which delighted her, and set
themselves to make artificial roses for her
of silk and paper. Those fingers, so rebel
lious at allotted tasks, created roses with
out number, till Mario’s ceil was trans
formed into a bower.
An interested director of prison labor
seconded these efforts, and opened in St.
Lazaro a workroom for tho manufacture
of artificial flowers, to which Marie was
introduced as an apprentice.
Hero she made roses from morning till
night, and her dread of tho future being
dispelled the malady of her mind reached
its term with the end of her sentence, and
she left the prison cured and happy. She'
became one cf the most successful florists
in Paris.

Onr Dead Heroes.
Dedicated to the memory of “Our Sol
dier's Graves.”
Thou art still resting, O, brave heroic
souls.
'Neath shades of old trees of long, long
ago;
And that dear old river still runs softly
by.
And it's sweet gentle echoes are the sol
dier’s lullaby.
For it tells each heart how brave he had
fought.
How the memory still clings to each one
of us;
How we love them for our freedom they
sought.
These brave old “Confederates” our hearts
interest.
And while our hearts are sadden today;
We behold each grave with a long tearful
gaze
And we think of the time when fighting
were they.
O shall we forget those sorrowful days?
When our forefathers fought and victory
reigned;
Throua-h battle fields their muskets gleam
ed
On the stars and stripes the grey coats
leaned.
Wounded and dying no love ones to see.
And on this day we have gathered to meet
To fill each grave with a token of our
grief
And our wreath of flowers we place in
. prayer.
That God has taken them in his care;
That may we always honor their names
These dear beloved soldiers for years have
layed,
rest', in peace day after day—
Our dear old Confederates, our “Soldier's
Graves.”
