4 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 ted. 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 promenade concert was most thoroughly promenade c oncert was most thoroughly \nd marly the whole town was there 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. Thes are by far the most convenient .fid the most comfortable offices sh the city. The splendid windows afford ample air and light and the offices are all of such size as 'to make them the acme of perfec tion and comfort for the lawyer who can almost overlook what is going on at the court house and from his windows has a view of the business and the residence portions of the city .

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 lent auditorium for ordinary’ occasions in 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 and directors made up of Messrs. T. J. Carling, W. J. Beeland. Gus Bernd. <M. H. Taylor. J. W. Tt. Roundtree, John Hartz and W. T. Morgan. The contract under the specification was awarded to the Macon Sash, Door and Lumber Company and has been fully car ried out.

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 grand total for the month of June, 1897, was 41, which shows that deaths in 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.
