VIOLINIST WAS WORRIED.
Mr. Gordonh, of the Musical Festival Or
chestra, Tried to Suicide.
Air. Gordonh, who is one of the violin
virtuosos with the great festival orchestra
which played in 'Macon last Monday and
Tuesday, attempted (o commit suicide-at
his hotel in Augusta last Friday night.
The Augusta Herald says: He was stop
ping at rhe Planters’ on Macartan and
Broad and most of the musicians in the
orchestra were staying at the same place.
It is fortunate that his fellow musicians
were at the same hotel, as they were able
to prevent the young man from carrying
out bis rash intention. Mr. Gordonh played
a solo at the performance last night and
played it almost divinely. He was given an
ovation and the audience encored him to
the eciio.
He responded and Miss Bridewell played
an aecoirrpaiHment to his second selection,
she presided at the piano, while Mr. Gor
donh played a soft and sweet ballad on
bis violin. While this number was being
I rendered the violinist made a slight error
In his part. Very few people in the au
dience detected it. however, though some
of the most observant noticed at one time
that he frowned as if he or the pianist
ha.l made 1 an error.
i It was grace'flly passed over, however,
ami the second selection was encored
j < v n mor. chan the first had been. Mr.
' Gordonh did not respond.
Tais error was the cause of all the
t trouble which the musician had last night.
He stateel to the policeman who was called
• in that he had never made an error in
I that piece before and that he never made
I a mistake in playing before an audience
and that the thought that he had done so
this time had almost briyen him frantic.
1 He took two or three drinks to ease his
nerves, but the whisky had the opposite
effect, and about midnight he became al
most wild and went <o his valise and took
out his razor, declaring that he was going
to end things. His colleagues took the
razor away from him and he then at
tempted to jump out of the window. He
, was caught and tied securely, hands and
feet, with the sheets from the bed. Dr.
Holliday was sent for and administered
treatment which would tend to quiet the
neivts and Mr. Gordonh wns then put in a
place of safety until this morning. He is
all right now. except that .he is very much
wonied over the occurrence. z z
MACON NEWb MONDAY EVENING MAY 16 i»ga
SUNDAY SCENES
AT CAMP GRIFFIN
Macon Soldiers Feasted, and
the Camp Was Like a
Picnic Ground.
SAD PARTING SCENES,
The Wives and Mothers Were There
Today Even the Flag is in
Mourning for the Past,
Camp Northern, Griffin, Ga., ‘May 15—
The triumphant shout of the proud Volun
teer has dwindled to a pigmj' minor, and
now the Hus. ars, (hi “soldi; rs." have come
to* the front in the good material rivalry
between the companies, and today for the
-first time contested for orderly s place—■
and .got it.
Tie re was no special demonstration in
trt i .inks of the Hussars when it was an
nounced that thqy had won orderly's place,
for everyone felt, that the company would
get it the first time it was contest, d for.
For the' past few days the Volunteers
have won orderlies’ places at ew iy guard
rruiint, ami they naturally took much
cr .lit ur.to themselves. The Vol inteers
came with all of their equipment, and in
this way had a decided advantage. None
of the other Macon companies brought
either their guns or side arms, and made
no attempt, to get orderlies’ places, though
orderlies were selected from the Hussars
for the first two days of camps by virtue
of the good bearing of the company. Sev
eral hours each day were spent in keeping
the prize orderly guns of the Volunteers
in shape for the contests, and one of their
members has already described how the
whole eomyany assisted in preparing the
man who was to bear off the honors for
the command. He was groomed like a race
horse, and was not even permitted to walk
out upon the field. All the time that the
Volunteers were taking for preparing or
derlies, the other companies from (Macon
were busy getting their company quarters
in good condition, and hard work sup
plied what money currency could not.
Saturday night after supper the Hus
sars got together and decided to contest
for orderly for Sunday. None of the com
panyguns were here, but there are military
men in the Hussars who know a thing or
two about cleaning guns, and they proved
that it makes no difference what kind of
guns they have they can make them shine
well enough to outrank the Volunteers. The
guns used were turned over to Sargents
Massenberg and 'Smart, the side arms to
.Corporals Napier and Gordon, the uniform
to Corporal Gepslir.g and Private Guerry,
and the shoes to Private Barclay.
News was received at the Husars’ head
quarters that the Volunteers were making
special effort tor orderly and would put
Privates Sparks and Green in their detail.
It was also learned that the papers of Ma
con had been notified that the orderly for
Sunday for the First Georgia would be
either Sparks or Green of the Volunteers.
They were expecting their friends and for
many reasons wanted to get the place.of
honor, and when their detail marched on
the field a shout went up. It was in charge
of Sargeant Lawson Brown.
Sargeant Massen'burg, in charge of the
Hussars’ detail, composed of Privates
Tom Ellis and AValter 'Herrington, appear
ed a few minutes later, and iji a quiet mil
itary fashion, took its place. None of the
other companies who had sent out details
stood a show in the contest, and in a min
ute it was narrowed down to the Volun
teers an-d Hussars, and then —to the two
representatives of the Hussars’.
Private Ellis was appointed orderly, al
though there was no difference in the neat
ness of the two men from the Hussars, El
lis being awarded the place because he
came first in rank.
Th? two men from the Volunteers walk
id their posts wile Ellis reported to Col
onel Law ton.
The eld time rivalry between the two
companies has sprung up again, though it
is altogether friendly. The opinion ex
pressed to me by one of the most promi
nent officials in camps is that the Hussars
is a military company in every sense of the
word, and has a commander witnout a su
perior. Goode M. Guerry.

AT A NEGRO REVIVAL.
Unlettered Men Who Wisely Expound the
Truth.
We-were a party of six, all Sunday
school teachers, all supposed Scriptural
experts. Ono of our number was a re
tired American Missionary association
worker and another one had been prepar
ing for the foreign mission Hold when her
health failed her. The flvo'of us accepted
the invitation of the sixth, our hostess, to
attend a colored revival meeting near by.
We were the only white people in the
crowded church. All about us were dusky
faces; all around us the mellow negro
voices rang out in characteristic negro re
vival songs. The words were trivial, the
choruses but disjointed bits of sentences,
but the melody was intoxicating to the
senses. Though untuned, what voices;
untrained, without rule, yet with a
strange rhythm and passionate fire that
stirred one’s pulses as never operatic aria
could!
Our dark skinned brethren wore of the
Christian religion; therefore -they were
nearer to us than heathen. Nevertheless
between us and them rolled a great gulf.
They were illiterate, emotional babes in
the gospel. They had never board of the
higher criticism and never studied Barnes
or Adam Clarke and were not afraid of
Do Wette or Kenan. So we sat there with
the patronizing air that human beings are
apt to assume when thrown in contact
with mortals less wise than themselves.
Brother Jonah Watkins, a white wooled,
bent backed man of 70, was called upon
to pray. He responded, in nowise over
awed by our superior presence. Ho prayed
as though his lips had indeed been touched
by a live coal from God’s own altar.
“O Lord,” he prayed, “thou kuowest
dis people. Hero we arc befo’ de, down on
our marrer bones in de low lands of sorrow.
Raise us up, deah Lord, an stan us up
upon our feet upon do mountain tops of
glory. An do sinnabs of dis congregation,
deah Lord, smite ’em wid de hammah of
Jeremiah”—
I heard no more. ‘‘The hammah of
Jeremiah”—what was it? I bad read the
prophet Jeremiah through and through,
with the commentaries and Bible diction
aries open at every page, but never a syl
lable had I caught about Jeremiah’s ham
mer. What did this bent backed colored
man know about Jeremiah that the wise
teachers of the law had overlooked? The
question was broached on the homeward
walk. Our party had all been struck with
the expression, but not one of us six Sun
day school teachers had the remotest idea
of what Jeremiah’s hammer might be.
The next day six men and women read
their Bibles, and each of the six began at
the first verse of the first chapter of Jere
miah. One by one as we reached the
twenty-ninth verse of the twenty-third
chapter we found what we were after.
‘‘ls not my word like a lire? saith the
Lord, and like a hannuor that breaketh the
rook in pieces?” Jeremiah’s hammer was
God’s word, that was able to break down
the flinty resistance of the indifferent soul.
Could Scripture reference have been more
applicable? And the wonder of all was
that this low born sou of toil, spelling his
text out word by word, should have found
the kernel of the meat, while others, with
every’ help at hand, pasend over it.—ln
