PYTHIANS PROUD
OF THEIR HOME
Brilliant Opening Last Night
of the Finest Combination
Building in the City.
SPLENDID AUDITORIUM.
Offices on Two Floor? All Equipped
With Every Possible Modern
Convenience
Th< most coniodiuoe. the most compact
and tb< most attractive combined office
building and hail in the city of Macon, and
one of the t,. st in the state, was opened
last night to the public.
Tile Ne.v Pythian Castle on Mulberry
street is now one of the buildings of the
city in which the breath of business has
been infu ■ •<! and it has become a part of
the habitation in which the lite of com
merce finds a home. *
it is no exaggeration to say that It is
the haud.-om.-st building in the city.
There arc others that are more imposing
and of greater size, but none more strik
ing and none that will win as much praise
troni tile public and from the artist and
architect than will this new home of tho
J’yihlaais.
When lighted up bye lectricity last night
the building presented a .very attractive
ap|H<ir.ince from the outside.
its design gives it an unusual amount of
window space, so much In fact, that with
every window lighted the front of the
building apears. io be almost all illumina

But not only doee this window exposure
give to the building a pleasing apearanee,
but the <l> signer had a more practical ob
jeet in view, for with so much glass and
and ea.-tern exposure the biuldlng will get
none of the afternoon sun and can be
thrown ojieii to the breeze during almost
Ilh< whole of the summer day.
For this reason this building will be the
cooltst in the city and last night notwith
standing the closeness ol the atmosphere
the rooms were delightfully cool and the

for there an thousands of people in 'the
city who are interested in this building.
cEvery Knight of Pythias in the city has
an interest in it and this causes the inter
est of his family and his friends to be
awakened. It is probable therefore, the
tenants of this building will enjoy a larger
patronage than will those in any other
building in the city.
For the Knights of ‘Pythias are inter
ested in tlie welfare of the building and
consequently in the welfare of its tenants.
ft woud be difficult to say how many
people were present last night bu» st--
eral thousand passed through the 1 building
from the ground floor up to the handsome
halls in the third story.
tin Ute ground floor are four handsome
stores. They afford ample space for a bus
iness and will make ideal offices for real
esttate firms. In fact it has been suggested
that this should be known as the real
estate row of Macon. The offices or stores
are provide ci with electric light, gas watef
and all eonvc ietiees. The two corner stores
have a large number of windows but all
are well lighted and thoroughly ventilated.
There is a private room at the rear of each
store or office and the front windows are
large and handsome.
In fact these are Ideal offices for the
transaction of uliiwsl any busiftess, but
above all things for those which do not
call for the close touch with the busiest
thoroughfares and in which as in real es
tate the customer seeks out the firm and
is not attracted by window display.
The* Macon and Indian Spring Street
Kailroad Company and the Electric Light
Company already occupy one of these
ground floor oil ices and have fitted id up
with handsome fixtures made from Georgia
pine, and above all things made in Macon
i>y the Macon Sash. Door and Lumber
Company.
In the rear of the front entrance which
passes under a spacious arch is a large
room sixteen fe< t by thirty feet which will
be used as a library and reading room by
the knights of Pythias.
Each Knight will have his key to this
room and it will be one of the most com
fortable resorts immaginable. There will
be established in addition to the other
treading matter a regular Pythian library
containing all sorts of Pythian literature.
Mr. T. .1. Carling, who has accumulated
a very fine Pythian library will lend his
collection to this library.
The second floor of the building is ap
proached by si w ide flight of stairs made of
Georgia pine and contrasting handsomely
with the finish of the walls.
The stairway leads on to a spacious hall
way out of which open twelve offices.

the most comfortable offices sh the city.
The splendid windows afford ample air

size as 'to make them the acme of perfec

The stairway leads from this floor to the
third story where the halls are situated.
The ball room and assembly hall on the
north side of the building is the most spa
cious for the purpose in the city with the
exception of the drill hall in the Volun
teers armory which, however, is not as
well ventilated or lighted.
This ball room is fifty feet by fifty-six
feet and is provided with ladies parlor and
cloak room and a gentlemen’s smoking
room. The balcony for the band is large
enough to accommodate an orchestra of
twenty-five pieces.
The hall will also make a most excel

Macon and will answer for the demands
that have been hitherto unsupplied on ac
count of the lack of such a place in the
city.
Next to this hall or auditorium is the
Pythian hall that will be used by the
Knights of Pythias of the city for meeting
purposes. It is thirty-six feet and has two
commodious ante rooms.
hile the decorations outside and in are
by no means elaborate they will be in the
best taste and the Knights of Pythias of
the city have good cause to congratulate
themselves and their building committee

LONDON PAPERS
ON THE SITUATION.
Say that the Time Has Come
for Spain to Sue for
Peace,
Londohn, July 5.—A1l the papers today
comment on the sudden and dramatic
transformation resulting from Admiral
Cerveia’s mysterious and suicidal move,
for which various theories are advanced
to explain.
All eulogize the bravery displayed on
both sides and strongly counsel Spain to
accept the inevitable and sue for peace,
which would entail no dishonor.
The Daily Graphic says: “If Senor Sa
gasta elects to risk further disasters for
fear of the foolish jingoism in Madrid, he
will incurr a terrible responsibility. The
Spanish flag has been borne with undying
glory in the face of tremendous odds and
the punctilios of honor have been entire
ly satisfied.
The Daily 'News tenders similar advice:
It says:
“The Spaniards can fight and die. So
can the Americans. Ambassador Hay, in
his glowing and elegant speech of yeseter
day, gloried in this thought but to their
equal courage Americans add in this une
qual combat with Spain not only vastly
superior material resources but a devis
ing mind and a skilled organization, with
out which bravery is nothing but a means
of providing stuff for the shambles.”
The Daily Telegraph, commenting on the
way in which the American commanders at
Santiago and, probably at Manila at Ma
nila also have fulfilled their predictions
for the Fourth of July, says:
“The Americans rushed San Juan in a
manner displaying the immense virility of
American manhood. Unfitness upon the
part of the American officers to conduct
military operations and unflinching per
sonal bravery upon the part of both offi
cers and men, were, In the educated judg
ment of our correspondent, the character
istics of the desperate fight Friday and
Saturday.
The prospect of European intervention
on behalf of Spain has vanished and the
significant fraternization of 'England and
American independence in the United
States and in London, may well give cause
to those continental statesmen who are
credited with a design to dictate to Amer
ca the terms of peace.
"Spain, if her statesmen have any frag
ment of political wisdom, will make terms
with her adversary quickly. Delay is dan
gerous on many grounds.”
The Standard suggests that the war cab
inet at Washington on the receipt of Gen
eral Shafter’s dispatch saying that it was
impossible to take Santiago until he had
Iveen reinforced, ordered him to demand
its surrender.”
The Daily Chronicle comments on the
"Blood brotherhood of England and Amer
ica on the glorious Fourth of July, which
is an Important outcome of grim war.”
The Morning Post advises Spain to treat
directly with her foe, but fear
that even this course will hardly save her
from the grasping propensities of some
of her European neighbors.

The mortuary report for the month of
June was given out by Clerk Smith this

Colored males 15, females 11. Total 26.

The grand total for the month of June,

creased in the month of June this year.
The annual ration per thousand is twenty.
CANDLER NOT
SENIOR COLONEL.
Reasons Whv It is Thought
Military Men Are Apa
thetic.
The claim is made by Atlanta papers
that in selecting the colonel for the Third
regiment of Georgia volunteers Governor
Atkinson selected the senior colonel of the
Georgia militia.
This presumably has reference to the
Colonel Candler, but the claim is un
true.
The senior colonel of the Georgia militia
is Col. C. M. .Wiley. The scant courtesy
with which he and his have been treated
by the governor and the little clique of
pandering vets who tell him he ought to
be a brigadier general is responsible for
the lack of interest that a number of the
military men, especially of Macon, have
shown in this call which unlike the first
call does not point directly at the mili
tary.
The governor will find that his troops
are not made up of military men and they
will find that he can be given the reasons.
The feeling among military men in the
state is that if the governor had expected
the military men of the state to answer
his call he should have parcelled out the
commissions among militray men and as
commander in chief he should have shown
common courtesv to the senior colonel of
the state troops—a soldier and not a grand
stand player.
The work of mustering at Camp Northen
at Griffin is now going on.
It is learned that the war department
has consented to allow the captains to
send down their men in squads of fifteen
or twenty, as fast as they are enlisted and
examined. Colonel Candler, with his ad
jutant and other staff officers, will be in
camp from now on.
The camp at Griffin will now rapidly fill
up. There are hundreds of men already
enlisted who are anxious to go direct to
camp without any delay and it is regarded
as very fortunate that they can be sent
there without having to wait until the full
regiment is raised. ,
The plan of recruiting this regiment is
to examine the applicants as soon as they
enlist. ißy this means the captains may
feel certain of the number of men they
have who can go. Under the last call
many were turned dow r n after the com
panies had been raised and the officers
were compelled to secure other men .
The examinations this time are unusual
ly strict. It was expected that the exami
nation would no-t be so strict as it was ou
the first eall, but this time the surgeons
are severe and it takes a fine specimen of
manhood to pass.
SHOUTS DROWN
MUSKET SHOTS
When the News That the
Spanish Fleet Had Been
Destroyed Reached
the Troops.
(Copyrighted by Associated Press.)
Shafter’s headquarters before Santiago,
Sunday. July 3 —Early today the man on
the lookout reported that the Spanish fleet
had sailed out of the harbor of Santiago,
but not until late this afternoon was the
result known at headquarters. ,
> As the news of the victory flew from
sentry to sentry along the firing lines and
was shouted to companies, regiments and
brigades a great cheer swept down the line
of weary men which gathered force as it
went until the rattle of musketry was
drowned in the rear from American
throats.
Although the firing continued all day
between the outposts very little damage
was done either side.
General Chaffee was wounded slightly,
a rifle ball cutting through his foot. but
he was not compelled to leave the field.
The only severe firing during the day
occurred when the Spanish fleet was leav
ing the harbor. The enemy evidently at
tempted to divert the attention of oue
posts. but the Americans responded so
willingly that the fire soon ceased and was
only resumed at intervals during the day.
Last night the only aggressive move
ment the Spaniards made resulted in a se
vere defeat- About 1,000 of the enemy
came out of the breeches about the city
walls in large force and dashed straight
for the American lines. In one or two
places our men fell back from their posi
tion but quickly rallied and drove tha
enefljv back pell mell into its own ditches.
The Spanish losses must have been
frightful as they were exposed to a ter
rific fire for a quarter of an hour.
The losses on the lAmeriean side were
light, as our soldiers lay in the rifle pits
and had every advantage. The most daring
Spanish forces are the sharp shooters.
They take positions almost at the wall and
from the dense tree tops do execution with
the smokeless powder, making it difficult
to locate them. Several times they have
shot into General Shafter’s tent which is
several miles from the front and they have
infested the trail for ten tuiles between
Juraguay and the outposts.
One of the most horrible features of war
is that dozens of men have been killed as
they lay in litters and that the surgeons
wearing the emblem of the Red Cross so
ciety upon their arms have been the spe
cial object of attack.
The number of killed and wounded for
the week reaches tonight about 1,800.
No effort is being made by our officers
to expedite the listing of casualties, and
not one-fifth of the total of the names is
known even to the commanding officers.
Already 800 cases have been handled at
the hospital here because of the overflow
from the hospitals at the front.
(All the wounded here are recovering.
Private Meyers, of the Sixth infantry
died.
Adjutant Wood, of the Ninth cavalry is
improving and will be sent to Key West.
A HEAVY SENTENCE.
Berlin, July s—Baron5 —Baron Halberg-Stumm,
an intimate friend of Emperor William,
has been sentenced to twenty days im
prisonment or to a substantial fine for
slandering Dr. Stoecker, former court
chaplain.
MANILA HEMP
BADLY WANTED.
Blockade May Cause Great
Loss to the Western
Farmers.
New York, July 5. —The World says:
Admiral Dewey’s blockade of the Phil
ippines threatens to create a cordage short
age throughout the civilized world. It has
doubled the price of Manila rope and twine
in this country, and by doubling the value
of Manila hemp has made fortunes for
manufacturers who had large stocks in re
serve.
The John Good Cordage and Machine
Company, which was forced into the hands
of a receiver some months ago, was one of
the concerns which held a reserve of stock
of the hemp, and steps are being taken to
reorganize the company on a solid basis.
John Good, of cordage fame, discussed the
situation at the machine works on Park
and Washington avenues in Brooklyn.
“It will require,” he said, about 150,000,-
000 pieces of Manila twine to bind this
year’s wheat crop in the United States.
From the closest estimate we can make
we find the present supply of Manila hemp
outside of the 'Philippines Islands will be
exhausted in three months. As considera
ble time is required to import the hemp
from Manila to this country we will have
to arrange matters soon or the cordage
manufacturers will find themselves with
out any raw material.
“In that even the great western wheat
farmers would soon have no binding ma
terial to use on their reapers and might
be forced to go back to the old fashioned
methods of binding their sheaves with
straw. This would be a tremendous task
in fields which cover miles upon miles of
territory and might result in loss of much
grain through being exposed to the weath
er. Sissal twine, the material for which
comes from Mexico, might be substituted
in the reapers for the Manila, but the sup
ply of this is limited and would certainly
not be sufficient to meet the demand,
“You may gain some idea of the immen
sity of the demand when I tell you that
the 150,000,000 pieces of twine required
this year by the farmers would contain
ninety billion lined feet and would cost
about $18,000,000. Since the war began
the price of Manila hemp has run up from
4 to cents a pound- I think it is sell
ing at 8 cents today. English merchants
through their local agents are offering it
for sale here at the market price but will
not guarantee its delivery at any specified
time.
ENDEAVORERS.
Delegates from Macon Will
Leave Here this Evening.
Macon delegates to the Convention of
Christian Endeavorers will leave tonight.
The convention meets in Nashville to
morrow.
Nashville has made preparations for 40,-
000 delegates coming from every part of
the United States and the city will be
crowded to overflowing with the Christian
workers during the sessions of the conven
tion.
The convention will last a week, and the
program of exercises which has been ar
ranged for the meetings is asserted t<7 be
the best ever gotten up by the order.
Hitherto there has been a division in the
ranks of the Christian endeavor at the
anual convention brought about by the
differences between the delegates from the
South and those from the North. The old
feeling of dilike, it is said, has crept into
the deliberations of the convention, and
one of the strongest efforts at the coming
convention will be to abolish that feeling
and unite the order as it has never been
united before. To this end some of the
most prominent soldiers of the late war
from both sides have been invited to ad
dress the convention and be the guests of
the delegates while in Nashville. General
Clement A. Evans will be one of the prin
cipal speakers on this occasion.
Tennessee’s gifted governor, Bob Tay
lor, will deliver the address of welcome on
the part of the state, and many other
prominent speakers will grace the plat
form of the convention hall during the va
rious sessions.
One of the most inspiring features of the
exercises will be the singing of patriotic
songs in chorus, where fully 30,000 voices
will join in the music.
South Macon Dots
The Fourth of July was heralded yes
terday morning at early dawn by the pop
popping sounds of fireworks throughout
the entire vicinity which continued at in
tervals throughout the day and until a late
hour at night. Everybody and his boy
went out to the big barbecue given at
Rice’s mill yesterday by the successful
candidates in the late nomination.
Several hundred people were on the
grounds, who found an ample supply of
barbecued pig, mutton, and veal on hand to
feed a regiment of starving Spaniards, with
Cervera and his fellow' prisoners thrown
in as second relief to the feasters.
After viewing the two lengthy cue pits,
covered with sixteen carcasses, aggregat
ing a weight of 1.000 pounds, all of which
was smoking dripping and browming nicely
and beautifully while impregnating the
balmy breezes with the well known appe
tizing order peculair only to the old time
far famed Georgia barbecue until the
mouth watered sufficiently to pump the
throat and stomach as dry as a pow'der
house, we made quick time to the spring;
the pure limped waters of which sparkled
and glittered in the sunshine as they
bubbled up down by the mill race, whose
transparent waters were rippling over the
pebbly bed.
The occasion was most thoroughly en
joyed. The ’cue was good, the speeches
were excellent and the humor of the crow'd
was in perfect accord with the beauty of
the day and the surroundings.

HARD TO GET
MDRETRDOPS
From Georgia, According to
Governor Atkinson’s Ex
pressed Ideas,
EXPECTS ANOTHER CALL
But Does Not Know Where the Men
Will Come From—Four Regi
ments Raised Already.
Governor Atkinson was seen by a News
reporter at the train yesterday afternoon
just before he left. He was asked what
he thought of the war and how long he
thought it would last.
He said; “I think that the war will con
tinue for some months yet. The people of
this country did not realize that the Span
ish troops has been on the Island of Cuba
for nearly three years and that they were
fighting men better trained and more used
to fighting than our men.”
“Admiral Sampson’s victory was a great
thing for the United States and it equals
if not surpasses Dewey’s victory at Mani
la. His victory will tend to bring the war
to an earlier close than was anticipated.”
He was asked if he thought that Georgia
would be called on to furnish another regi
ment. He said: “I think that the will be
called upon again for another regiment,
but I do not see where we will get them.
We have already sent three regiments. I
consider Colonel Ray’s regiment a Georgia
regiment, as most of the men are from
Georgia, and the recruiting of the fourth is
going on very slow .If the government
authorities are not less strict on the phys
ical examinations we will find it a hard
mater to fill out the regiment which is now
being recruited.

FAWN-COLORED PIQUE GOWN WITH BLUE RUCHES FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
Blue and a certain shade of fawi, which
are the dominant noes of color at present,
combine to form pretty pique model which
is equally desirable for foulard, nun’s veil
ing oi- cashmere. A novel feature of 'the
waist is the trimming of festooned ruches,
a revival of an old time fashion. It is an
imported fancy, consisting of pleated frills
of ribbon which are fringed in the weaving
—a tiny fringe on each edge—and a cord is
also woven in for drawing it into any re
quired fulness or design. The yoke, now
an almost universal feature of dress, is of
corded white linen lawn, an accompani
ment to the smallest of gigot sleeves,
