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. Rheumatism Cured.

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. The half a cent a ward column of The News la the cheapest advertising medium in Geargia. , MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26 1898.

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.” Composed by Augustina F.
