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.

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.

Sault Ste, Marie, Mich., July 12 —Re- ports of locating placer gold at Michipi coten have been made for several months, but were accepted with considerable scep-i ticism. J. C.

The announcement has caused great excitement here. Over one hundred claims are staked out. A large number of gold hunters are going on the steamer Tele gram. SHOT BY BURGLARS. Two Negroes Arrested Suspected of Being Men Wanted. Birmingham, Ala., July 12.—At an early hour yesterday morning at Oxmoor, a small furnace 'town six miles below here, ’Mrs. Thomas Melvin, wife of the section foreman on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was shot and desperately woun ded by a burglar.

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.”— Chicago Post.
