ROMANTIC MARRIAGE,
Happy Couple Come to Macon to Live Until
Ordered to the Front.
Yesterday’s Savannah Press contains an
interesting account of a romantic wedding
which will interest Macon people, inasmuch
as the happy couple are to make Macon
their home for a time. Says the Press:
Another romantic wedding took place to
day where a gallant soldier boy preferred
to leave behind him a wife instead of a
sweetheart when he goes forth to try his
fortunes in war.
This morning at 8 o’clock at the resi
dence of the bride’s grandparents, Mr. and
’Mrs. Moses'A. Cohen, occurred the marriage
of Captain John D. Twiggs, of the Augusta
company of Colonel Ray’s Third regiment,
U. S. V. immunes, and 'Miss Ada C. May,
of Savannah. It was a very beautiful and
imposing home wedding and was attended
by only the family and a very few intimate
friends.
After the ceremony an elegant course
wedding breakfast was served by Miss Jen
nie Cohen and Miss Madgie Lewis. Cap
tain and Mrs. Twiggs left on the Central
railway for Macon, where they will re
main until his company is ordered to the
front.
The bride is the second daughter of <Dr.
and Mrs. William F. May. She is a very
beautiful and accomplished young lady. She
is a great favorite in Savannah and has
been the recipient of marked social dis
tinctions in Augusta, where she has been
a frequent visitor.
The groom is the son of Captain Albert
A. Twiggs, of Augusta. He is a Washing
ton-Lee University man and succeeds his
father in prominence in military affairs.
In private life Captain Twiggs is a civil
engineer and he stands high in his pro
fession. He is a man of the highest char
acter, is manly, chivalrous and courteous.
He is a descendant of General Twiggs of
Mexican war fame. Captain Twiggs was
adjutant of the Independent Georgia bat
talion and was camped Trt. 'Meldrim last
July.

SAME OLD FLAG.
One Hauled Down by Commissioner Blount
to be Raised at Honolulu.
The following from the New York Her
ald is of local and general interest:
To the Editor of the Herald:
lit may interest your readers to know
that the same flag that was hauled down
by Commissioner Blount shortly after his
arrival at Honolulu, is the one to be hoist
ed when annexation takes place. The flag
■ at that time —February IS, 1893 —was re
-1 turned to the Boston, then lying in port.
I One of her officers, Lieutenant Lucien
. Young, promptly obtained “Old Glory”
and presented it to Minister Thurston.
Another flag, ten by fourteen feet, was
made to order on the 'Boston for Mrs.
: Moore, wife of Lieutenant Commander E,
' K. Moore. She presented it to Samuel M.
■ Damon, minister of finance in Honolulu.
Mrs. Moore was very active in her sympa
i thy with the provisional government peo
ple, and her name is much revered by hun-
I dreds of friends in the Hawaiian Islands.

SOLDIERS’ “HOUSEWIVES.”
How to Make a Welcome Article for the Boys
in the Field.
Why didn’t she send a bath tub, to bathe
this sailor bold,
Who’s glad to wash in a bucket, far down
in the ship’s dark hold?
A girl can do much for the comfort of
the soldiers, even though she does not be
long to a regular relief organization. Many
of them wonder what to make for the sol
diers, and, not knowing, make nothing.
The first thing to remember is that a
soldier travels in light marching order.
He might find a dressing gown and knit
slippers very comfortable after a long
march, but the comfort would be more
than offset by the burden of lugging them
about. Privates carry their knapsac’Ss and
accoutrements on their backs, and every
additional ounce seems heavier than a
pound.
Perhaps nothing saved the soldiers in the
civil war so much solid sati.faction as the
“housewife,” or “comfort bag.” Veterans
say so, anyway, and many a battle-scarred
man still cherishes his “housewife” as a
woman does her wedding ring.
Take a piece of brown chamois skin,
imitation morocco or any very soft and
pliable leather 12 inches by 7 or even 8,
line it with flannel or a scrap of silk or
satin that is sure to wear well and before
putting the lining in divide it into small
pockets. Secure the lining to the leather
by means of a strong braid, and when this
is done securely tack a small, round cush
ion on one end. This can be filled with
pins, and serves as a roll for the house%
wife. Fill the pockets with papers of
coarse needles, for a man despises nothing
more than fine needles; strong black and
white thread, wound on bits of cardboard;
a small pair of scissors, buttons for trous
ers and underwear, shoe laces, preferably
of leather, and a packeage of court plaster.
Two pieces of braid or ribbon, with which
to secure the housewife when it is rolled
up, should be fastened on the flat end.
This weighs next to nothing and takes up
almost no space. A man in camp can keep
himself tidy by means of one of these arti
cles, say the volunteers who hove tried
them.
Boxes of eatables, such as school boys
like, are most acceptable to the men in
camp, and the girl who has attended cook
ing-school will undoubtedly find her ef
forts more appreciated than the girl who
is a skillful needle-woman. Army rations
are plentiful, such as they are, but they
are not exactly appetizing to the rejuit.
A soldier who is made of the proper stuff
soon gets used to hardtack, and, what is
more, enjoys it, but at first it goes hard,
and a box from home is much enjoyed.
Ther are many little things 'that the
average stay-at-home girl may do for the
comfort of soldiers if her heart is in the
work and she sets her nimble American
wits to thinking.

A MICHIGAN KLONDIKE .
Sault Ste, Marie, Mich., July 12 —Re-
ports of locating placer gold at Michipi

but were accepted with considerable scep-i

Canadian canal, received from there today
on the steamer Telegram a bottle of

SHOT BY BURGLARS.
Two Negroes Arrested Suspected of Being
Men Wanted.
Birmingham, Ala., July 12.—At an early
hour yesterday morning at Oxmoor, a

’Mrs. Thomas Melvin, wife of the section
foreman on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, was shot and desperately woun
ded by a burglar. It was 1:30 when Mrs.
Melvin awoke at a noise in an adjoining
room to her sleeping apartment. She arose
and struck a match and began an investi
gation. Hardly had the match flared its
ligh when the burglar fired on the lady.
The bullet struck Mrs. 'Melvin near the
abdomen, in the thigh, inflictmg an awful
wound. The brute then jumped out of a
window and made his escape.
Messages were sent to the city at once
and deputies went to the scene.

JOHN FLECKENSTEIN DEAD.
Well Known and Generally Beloved Old Ger
man Citizen Passes Away.
There will be a great many people in
Macon and throughout the county sadden
ed by the news that Mr. John Fleckenstein
is dead
Mr. Fleckenstein was a well known Ger
man citizen living in the (Howard district,
about six miles from the court house. He
was a constable in his district and is
known and liked by almost everyone in
that part of the county.
He has lived in Bibb county about forty
years, farming and practicing as a vete
rinaiy in his neighborhood. In the latter
profession he was considered an expert,
and many people in (Macon were in his
patrons and friends.
He was a jolly, good-hearted old Ger
man and it was his greatest pleasure to do
someone a service. During his residence
in Bibb county he managed to accumulate
scratching for a rainy day, which consists
mainly in a well tilled farm and pictures
que little home. He leaves an aged wife,
who has been his devoted companion and
help-meet since they camo to America
forty-odd years ago, a fond daughter and
three little grandchildren.
Mr. Fleckenstein's death occurred this
morning at 11:30.o’clock after an illness
of over two weeks of inflamation of the
bowels. He was 63 years of age. Before
coming to this country he served in the
German army as a musician, and was quite
talented in this direction.
■Mr. Fleckenstein also served in the Con
federate army throughout the four years
of the war, and made a brave and faithful
soldier.
His remains will be interred tomorrow
morning at 9 o’clock at his home in the
Howard district.
The Philippine Natives. f
However lacking in intelligence the
natives of the Philippines generally may
bo, they could not with truth be character
ized as savages. There are in the Philip
pines between 6,000,000 and 9,000,000 peo
ple—probably about 7,000,000. Nearly
half this number inhabit Luzon, the prin
cipal island of the group. The Tagals of
Luzon are a copper colored people, and,
like all the people of the Malay family,
are short of stature. These Tagals are
the most advanced and influential element
of the whole population of tiie islands.
There are a great many very intelligent
and ambitious men among them, men
who got their start in the schools estab
lished by the monastic friars, whose po
litical domination furnishes one of the
many grievances which have given rise to
the present insurrection. The Tagals are
as industrious as the Chinese and Japa
nese and more easily controlled and less
criminally disposed than the latter.
That they are entirely amenable to dis
cipline when they have confidence in and
respect for their leaders and advisers is
evidenced by the fact that for over a year
General Emilio Aguinaldo, their acknowl
edged leader, was aldo to maintain good
order and comparatively good discipline
among his 40,000 or 50,000 followers and
under circumstances where chaos and dis
order would be the most natural condi
tions. lam not a sentimentalist—not the
sort of man to go into ecstasies of delight
over the profuse politeness and kotowing
of the Japanese—but' 1 have observed in
the leading men and women a charmingly
courteous manner. Such characteristics
as rudeness, assumption or boisterousness
are entirely lacking in their tempera
ment. —Review of Reviews.
Sunstroke Infectious.
Dr. L. Sambon, who is considered by
The British Medical and Surgical Jour
nal an authority on such matters, says
that sunstroke is infectious and is pro
duced by a specific germ.
Dr. Sambon’s theory is that sunstroke
as a germ disease requires great heat for
its development, but is not directly caused
by heat. He maintains that sunstroke is
unknown in many of the hottest parts of
the world, nor in the temperate areas is it
prevalent in the warmest years or in the
hottest season of the year.
Dr. Sambon concludes, from carefully
verified facts, that the geographical dis
tribution, the endemicity, the occurrence
of epidemics, the characters of the symp
toms, the very definite lesions, the liabil
ity to relapse and other points in the nat
ural history of the disease are strong
arguments for regarding siriasis as be
longing to the same category as yellow
fever, dengue and certain other tropical
affections universally acknowledged to de
pend on specific germs—germs for whose
growth and transmission to man and from
man to man high atmospheric tempera
ture is necessary, but which, though oc
| curving in, are certainly not created by,
| high atmospheric temperature.
Not Good For the Boys.
The officer shook his head.
“X think,” he said, “that sweets of that
sort are not good for the boys. That kind
of a diet gets them out of condition. Os
course we are very grateful to you for re
membering us, but I really think it would
be a serious mistake to let the boys have
them.”
• But what shall I do with all that I
have brought them?” asked the visitor to
the camp.
“Um—well—ah—er—you might leave
it at the officers’ quarters, you know.”—
