4 NIACON CHAPTER WILL BE ACTIVE Daughters of the Confederacy z Held an Important Meet ing TO PASS RESOLUTIONS On the Death of Miss Davis at the ' Next Meeting-Will Hold Monthly Meeting. The Macon Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy m< t yesterday afternoon with a larger attendance than has been n< •*! at any meeting of the organization for a long time. The .Macon Chapter will Join in the movement to erect a monu ment to Miss Winnie IXavis and will lend valuable assistance. At the next’ meeting of the chapter proper resolutions on the death of Miss Davis will be read and pass ed. Miss J>avi« having been at one time the guest of the Macon Chapter of the Daugh ter* of the Confederacy the members nat ually feel that their action on the subject of her death requires something more than the quick and cursory attention of a meet ing where the matter is brought up and pas- > d upon without due consideration. While it will be impossible for any of the members of the chapter to be present at Richmond 'omorrow and bake part in the obsequies, no chapter In the South feels a more hearty kympathy for the be reaved mother or feel deeper sorrow at the death of the "Daughter of the Confed eracy.” The Macon Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy will hold regular monthly meetings in future and an additional in terest will be added to th». e meetings by the preparation of a regular program to consist or reminiscences of the war be tween the states. The members of the chapter will take part In these programs In turn and in this way a valuable collec tion of matter relating to the war and Its local connection will be added to the archives of the chapter. It. is probable that these reminiscences will be compiled and edited and that they will then be published for distribution and for sale for the benefit of the object of the organization. Mrs. T O. Chestney speaking of the fu ture of tin- organization of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Macon to a News rejxtrter last night said that while the war with Spain had done more than any one eoubl have conceived possible to w'-e out a.ny feeling of sectionalism that might be remainlt ; Lt wa as much Incumbent as ever upon the members of the organization to keep it alive. 'We have .as great a duty to perform as ever,” she said. "The heroism of our dead soldiers has not been overshadowed by the heroism of the men who fought an I served under the stars and stripes in the 18f>S. Our war, its history an t the lessons that it taught are •is much alive in our hearts as ever. When all ‘race of feeling has been removed by time and when we Daughters of the Con federacy have passed over to the great ma jority the memory of oer dead heroes must be kept green with their graves bj’ our children and our children's children. The p. rpetuabiou ot the work of. the Daughters of the Confederacy does not indicate any feeling of sectionalism. Lt simply means the performance of a pleasant and a pa triotic duty in which all good cDtlzens Join and which is honored and respected by all people of nil countries and of al) sections.” HOW TO WOK GOOD Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy con dition of all the vital organs.

The New Rules of the Dance Do Not Allow a Close Hold. 1 lie Macon girls and boys are much con cerned in the proposed changes in the rules for the dancing of the waltz and some of them seem to fear the correction of certain abuses will remove all the pleas ure from the dance. It has been decreed in the up-to-date dancing schools that hugging must stop, Htid the dancing masters have been evolv ing ideas as to the proper manner in which the waits should be danced. The waltz is not to be banished from society programs, but It will be regulated and made to conform to rules adopted by the dancing teachers. Henceforth the young man who slides over the waxed floor •holding to his fa r partner like a grizzly bear may be ruled out of society. At any rate the American society of pro fessors of dancing h;\s decided to apply a remedy that will remove all objectionable f.xttures of the round dance; la short, the professors have decreed that hugging while waltzing must s;op. The question of how to correct the ob jectionable feature of the waltz is one that has been discussed and studied by the teachers of the terpslehorean art. for many yeans. But this season the criticisms be came bo severe all over the country that it was necessary to change things 'immedi ately. "There is but one proper position to as sume when waltzing," says an authority, “and that is the right one. The dancers should face each other, the hidy standing a little to the right. The man's right hand should be placed at his partner's back. Just above the waist line. The left arm should be extended and he should hold his part ner s right hand lightly and easily about even with the center of the body. That Is the position 1 have always taught for the waltz The idea of holding the arm that should be extended at an angle toward the. shoulder is contrary to grace and style. It makes the dancers appear ridiculous and places the arms in an awkward, cramped Ixis.Lion. The question of remedying the troubk caused by what may be vulgarly termed the hugging position, has always been a difficult one to correct, and one to which I have given constant thought and study. It is beyond all forms of propriety, but for some reason or other people imag ine that the round dance allows them to portray in public that which Is embar rassing for others than themselves and out side the limit of good breeding. I am earn est in my wish to assist society and carry out Its decision against the vulgar posi tions." C-A.STOTt.X.A.. the Kind You Harc Always Bougnt I Big sale winter underwear, reduced prices.

As an explantation of the name “Black Maria," given to the police van in London, the following is a new and very Ingenious theory: King Charles IPs'state vessel, or barge, on the Thames, presented to him by the Dutch in 1660, was called the Maria and the sombre vessel that then conveyed its prisoners to the Tower naturally got the nickname which clings to the land equippage now known as the “Black Maria.” In those days prisoners were brought by waiter to the Tower and intro duced into the fortress by a private pas sage by water to St. Thomas' Tower from the Thames.

'Dublin, Sept 22.—Major J. F. Hanson and Mr. Wilkinspn spoke here yesterday. They had between 300 and 400 in their audience. More than half were colored, some of the whites were Democrats. There are few white Republicans in the county, not as many as twenty-five all told. Major Hanson’s speech was Republican. In the main, of course, but he is an im prudent thinker, and some things which he aaid ought to make votes for the Demo crats. For example, he declared that the man who believes in free trade and free silver, and votes the Republican ticket stultifies himself. The major went fur ther and declared that such a man had no business in the Republican, party, and ought not to have the right to vote. He also stated that a man who brieves in the gold standard and protection has no bus iness in the Democratic party. He de nounced Cleveland, saying that the ex president had cost this country more money, more misery and more humbug gery than Aany other man shat ever. lived.. Major Hanson advocated the annexation of Cuta and Porto Rico. As to the Philip pines, he favored whateve- policy would be to the commercial interests of the United States He urged the building of the Ni carauguan canal. Some of his colored hearers understood him to call it the ‘‘Nigger Auga” canal, and they shouted “Amen, dat niggeraugan canal ought to be built.” Subsidies for steamship lines be tween gulf ports and Spanish-American countries were also advocated by Major Hanson, but that question, like some of the others he discussed, seemed to be above the heads of part of his audience. He said he quit the Democratic party because it aban doned its principles, and-he stated with much emphasis that he would not stay in the Republican party if it should abandon Its principles. He argued that the Demo cratic party had been inconsistent, and that both the gold and silver partisans bad lied about each other. He hoped that both the old parties would get together on a policy in regard to Cuba and the Philip pines. and not make them a political issue. There is no danger of negro supremacy s n Geo.'g'a, he declared, adding that it was only a bug bear with which the Democrats were trying to frighten the white Popu lists. GETTING IN A TANGLE, Marshal Barnes Wants to Take the Adula to New York. Savannah, Sept. 22. —The case of the prize steamship Adula is becoming more tangled than ever. The government authorities at Washing ton have notified Marshal John M. Barnes that a cheek for $1,500 would be sent him at once for the purpose of defraying the expenses in taking the vessel to New York to be sold. It is not believed that this amount will cover the necessary 'expenses according to the present calculations. Assistant District Attorney W. R. Leakin went to Macon last nignt to see Marshal Barnes and District Attorney Marion Erwin with regard to the matter. Mr. Leakin believes lit will require con siderable more money to pay the expenses of taking the Adula to New fort It is said the Adula could be sold in Savannah for? 40,000 of $45,000 if the court officials are willing to let her go at that price. That would be a reduction of $lO,- 000 to $15,000 over the amount originally ■asked for her, but at the same time con siderable would be saved in the way of expenses and no chances would have to be taken. Marshal Barnes will be here today and expects to get the Adula ready to go to , New York by Friday or Saturday. AT BRUNSWICK The City of Macon is Expected to Arrive To morrow. The steamer City of Macon will in all probability reach Brunswick tomorrow. The boat was at Abbeville Tuesday night and was at Doctortown when last heard from. It is only a few miles to Brunswick from Doctortown and it will not take long to make the trip. The captain wires that he has on board a large cargo of naval stores and that he will take on a great deal more before be reaches the end of his trip. Work on the new boat will be commenced very soon and the city can soon boasit of having two boats on the niver. CARRIED CONCEALED WEAPONS. I. E. Smith Bound Over to the City Court this Morning. I. E. Smith, a well known negro who frequents Rusty Row, was arrested yester day on the change of disorderly conduct . and carrying concealed weapons. Yester day afternoon Smith tried to raise a dis turbance with some mortormen who were walking down the street and pulled out a pistol. The motormen had him arrested and he was tried in the recorder's count this morning. He was fined $5 far disorderly conduct and was bound over to the city court under a SIOO bond on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The court was rather small this morn ing. The case against Smith being the ouly thing of any importance. CASTOHT-A.. Bears the _^ Ttlo Kind Y ° U Have A,wa ? s Bought Bi6 T' list~oFprizes To be Given to Paid Up Sub scribers of The News.

CARNIVAL ARRANGEMENTS ■ Everything is Moving Along Very Smoothlv and Sat isfactorilv. ■ The Reception and -Invitation committee of the Carnival Association will hold a < meeting at the .Chamber of Commerce to morrow afternoon at 4:30 to perfect ar rangements for the entertainment of the visitors who attend the Carnival. The committee has been hard at work for the past few days discussing plans and the object of the meeting tomorrow is to come to a final arrangement. Poftt D, of the T. P. A., of the Drum mers' Carnival committee will meet at the Chamber of Commerce Saturday to con sider the work incident to the drummers’ participation in the Carnival celebration. 1 Tae drummers intend to do their part for the Carnival Association and their work ; w ill be a surprise to many people. The public comfort committee, from fig ures showmg a canvass of Lhe city and I through accommodations auxiliary to that, will be in a position to entertain all who i come to Macon during the Carnival. It is still requested, however, that all who i have not contributed their names to the list and who can accommodate visitors to i send their names to he secretary of the I committee at the Chamber of Commerce ' and they will confer a special favor upon t the Carnival Association. ; The Ladies’ Auxilliary committee will j hold a meeting Friday afternoon at the ’ residence of Mrs. Ben C. Smith, on Mul berry street. Every member is requested to be present. The committee is composed of the fol lowing members: Mrs. Ben C. Smith, chairman; Mesdames R. H. Plant, W. M. Johnson, J. M. Johnston, W. E. McCaw, J. W. Cabaniss, George H. Plant, J. Dan- I nenberg, E. M. Talbott, Roland Ellis, C. i B. Willingham, E. J. Willingham, George | W. Duncan, W. H. Felton, Sam Mayer, I J. F. Hanson, S. R. Jaques, I. B. English, 1 T. C. Burke, L. A. Jordan, C, L. Bartlett, ; Henry Wortham, L. O. Stevens, and R. Morrison Rogers. Mrs. Smith hopes that every member of the committee will be present at the final arrangements for the Carnival, so far as 'the committee is concerned, which will be made. President Waxelbaum went to Monte zuma last night in interest of the Carni val. He will return this afternoon. The floats at the park are nearing completion and will soon be ready for the parade. The Trades Display committee have com pleted their canvass and have secured al most a hundred floats for the trades dis play. The Carnival Association will endeavor to get the old hand fire engine which was Used for a number of years by the volun teer department brought back to the city to participate in one of the parades. It was suggested that if the engine could be secured that the members of the company to which the engine belonged be allowed to pull it in the parade. The engine is at present owned by the city of Thomson, but it is thought that it can be easily gotten. Extensive preparations are being made for the decorations of the residences throughout the city. Many people intend decorating their buildings with the Car nival colors—cardinal and.white. The members of that so long famous fire company, Defiance No. 5, are determined that their enthusiastic friends shall again have an opportunity of seeing them to gether, and arrangements are being per fected for their appearance in the parade on patriotic day of the Carnival. The cele brated running squad., composed vt fellows so daring and gallant, Will again march •through Macon’s now paved streets, clad as of old, and will receive the cheers that so often made them invincible. They will, as formerly, pull their dear old reel. The Mattie, which has for 'a number of years been in the hands of the Cuthbert depart ment, Ibut which will be brought back for the occasion, the trophy of many a hard fought battle. But we have not mention ed Monk K. Jones, our present chief, who was as closely identified with Old Defiance during her illuistroius career, and who, more than once saw that his was the first stream on the fire, as he 4s today with our glorious department that a pride and safe be sent to council asking that he be per with his valliant crßw, and ia petition will be sent to cuncll 'asking that he be per mitted to parade with No. 5, as in former years, and it Is more than probable the request will be granted. Then there will be Jack Deitz and Frank Loh, who were never missed being in the running squad wnen it swept the field, and Hon. W. A. •Huff, for whom the engine was named, will be there to give the encouraging word and to let the boys know how he wanted to see they had everything they wanted. This promises to be a great feature of the parade and everybody is discussing it. For further information see either Iver son Harris, Henry Loh or Alex Subers, the • committee. A TEWS WONDER.

Colonel Birch tells in a Plattsburg paper of the following conversation he had 30 years ago with Colonel Vincent Marma duke, and its application to present condi tions is such that we give it to the public. Every Missourian knows that Colonel Marmaduke, like his brother, was a de cided Confederate, and during the war ho was the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Davis to Mr. Mason, who represented the southern Confederacy in England. Mar maduke says that one evening Mr. Mason said to him: “Mr. Marmaduke, John Bright is to make a speech tonight in tho house of commons, and I think it would bo to your pleasure and interest to go down to hear him.” It will be remembered that at that day Mr. Bright was the most conspicuous fig ure in England. Marmaduke went, and during his speech Marmaduke says that Bright stopped, and, changing his line of remarks, said, ‘‘Mr. Speaker, if our kins folk on the other side of the Atlantic set tle their civil war satisfactorily and get back together in peace, in 40 years there will not be a gun fired in tho world with out their consent.” This statement at that day seemed pre posterous, and no one but a man with Bright’s comprehensive mind could have dared to make such an assertion to go be fore the world. It has been but 35 years since Mr. Bright made that statement, and yet events have happened in the last few months which give to Mr. Bright’s words the spirit of prophecy, and no one would now hesitate to reproduce it.— Kansas City Journal. The Old Man’s Hobby. There was a traveling salesman foe a New York hardware house up here tho other day, and in tho course of his conver sation ho lot fall a bit of wisdom that 1 believe is worth preserving. Said he: “If you want to get a man interested and to draw him out, talk about something he knows all about. Let me illustrate. I went down home the other day and found that my uncle from Philadelphia was there. ‘I don't believe he has a tongue in his head,’ said my mother. ‘He never has a word to say, but sits about as glum as a funeral.’ ‘What’s his business?’ said I. 'What has he done all his life?’ ‘Nothing but make bricks.’ “With that I set out to open the old man up. Wo took a walk. I turned the conversation around to bricks and aired a choice lot of misinformation. Uncle look ed dazed and then grew interested. He began or> the brick question, and as we walked on he grew eloquent. He told me more about bricks than you could find in all the books. lie piled up information of various forms. He went into tho his tory of brickmaking from Babel to tho United States. He oozed statistics. He kept it up all the while I was there and would come up to my room at night to talk bricks. Yes, it’s a good plan, but it can be overdone!”—Hardware. “Get There” Tactics. “What gives mo most trouble,” said a foreign military attache, “is trying to translate your American language into English first, and then into my own lan guage, so as to give my government a cor rect understanding of the spirit and char acter of your soldiers. “I find the phrase‘get there,’ forex ample, difficult. When I saw your in fantry going forward against tho opposing troops jn the forts and intrenchments, I said to the officer with me that the in fantry should pot attempt such a move mentwithqut the artillery. ‘You’re right,’ be told me, ‘but the boys will get there.’ At night, when we were all so hungry, I venturefl to inquire if a further movement were contemplated till your army was pro visioned. Then the officers, who were gentlemanly, all laughed and said the army would think about rations when they ‘got there. ’ >( The second day we met many of your wounded men coming back as wo were go jpg forward. When the colonel asked them about the fighting, so many times I heard them say, ‘We got there,’ and afterward also I heard those words used very often. But it is so difficult for mo to explain so my own people will understand it what pature pf tacticsis ‘get there.’ Boston Transcript. Third Class Matter. “Say,” said the bookkeeper, addressing the cashier and winking knowingly at tho office boy, ‘ ‘do you know anything about this stamp tax?” “Sure,” replied tho cashier. “What do you want to know?” “Suppose,” continued tho b. k., “that I wanted to express my opinion; would I have to stamp the express receipt?” “Undoubtedly,” answered the cashier. “But if you will allow me, I would sug gest that you forward your opinions by mail!” “And why by mail?” asked tho autocrat of the jedgjer. “Because,” replied the cashier, “as they have no weight it would bo much cheap er. ’* —Chicago News. An Expert Opinion. “I suppose,” remarked Farmer Corn tossel, “that when Christopher Columbus landed in this hemisphere one of the first things he did was to plant the Spanish flag.” “I should say that ’ud seem the reg’lar thing to do.” “Well, speakin perfessionally, I should say that he managed to raise one of the poorest crops ever known. ” —Washington Star.
