Attendance at the Schools is Good and Everything in Good Order. The schools of Macon and Bibb county opened yesterday with the largest number of pupils in attendance ever known. Many new scholars apeared to enter upon the work of the year. All of the children seemed to be happy and anxious to begin the work. Many of the children had never been in school before and seemed frightened, but this was soon overcome. Professor Abbott visited every school in the city yesterday and got things in working order. All of ■the teachers were on haqjl and the work of examining the new pupils began at once. The attendance this year is the largest that has ever been known in the schools, and Professor Abbott is highly gratified at the result. Many pupils appeared at the schools without admission cards and it wax necessary to turn them away. They did not seem to understand that It was nec essary to have cards of admission. It is probable that over a hundred came with out cards and when these secure them the attendance will be largely increased. Many of the classes are already over crowded. The first year classes are the ones that are erowdad most. ‘The county schools have not been heard from yet, but it is thought that the attendance in the country will foe as large as evtT, if not larger. • All of the ney students have been vacci nated and there has been no complaints. Everything will be in working order by to morrow and all of j-he scholars will get down to work. BIG ATTRACTION DURING CARNIVAL. Al G. Fields Great Minstrels Will Hold Down Boards at the Academy. Speaking of Al Field’s Minstrel show, •which will be in Macon during the Carni val, the Atlanta Journal says that the show is ptynaps the most elaborate minstrel pro duction ever seen here and contains many good feature*. The pnly dull moments iwhich last night's audience suffered were such as are common to all jniqstreJg. and in Al Field's conglomeration the ojd ele ment Is almost eliminated. The audience was in high good humor, and seemed pleas ed enough with everything. Tlie performance opened in the regula tion way, dppe up in national colors and with much patriotic display, followed by the usual dialongue auj songs. Tommy Donnelly, Arthur Rigby and Al ‘Field were very funny, while the eccentric dancing of Doc Quigley another of that ijk, made a pronounced hit. The performance continued with a neat display of jugging by Everhardt, and then there was a skit on the Santiago campaign, in which Dan Quinlan, the “premier ftfterloeutor," (ap peared in canvas uniform apd eyeglasses as Colonel Teddy Roosevelt. Mr- Quinlan’s naturally persistent smile and consequent display of teeth added something to > swifter felt which was otherwise not very strong- Field, (Donnelly. Will Patton and Doc Quigley .took part in this absurdity, which revolver the 'big Mr. Field and gave horn a good unity to display his talent for fun-making. One of 'the best features was the gro tesque turn by Gruet, Beers and Grqet, in which one of the trio, a man apparently without bones or nerves, allowed himself to I be hanged mauled about in away that was truly rem4trjcable. It was one of the most laughable e%h) ! bji4if?ns of reckless ath letics ever witnessed. The Faust family, which confab?* sev eral members not old enough i<? begin school, won high favor with another ath letic exhibitlop. The performance closed with a display of shadowgraph picture* by the DeVilliers. This pantomime'contaJned a prize tight, «ie of the most remarkable eyey seen on canvass, and other noveltie* in shadow ef fects which were very good. Taken in its entirety, Al Field has this year a show wnicl? is well worth seeing, and one which last nigh? seemed to please an andience as great as which paid trioute to Patti—there has been fro greats? until last night. THEATRICAL. “Strange Adventures of Miss Brown to Be Here Saturday.l The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown, by Robert Buchanan and C. Marlowe, an exceedingly funny farce in three acts, so bright and swift in action that it has made its presence in the playhouses a jealous competition to Craley's Aunt, for ft con tains all the Incongruous situations that a man can conceive while masquarading in feminine attire. The play held the boards of the Standard theater. New York, for over one hundred night*, and ran in London for two consecutive seasons. The play deals with the adventures of a young army officer, in disguise of a school girl, sojourning in an academy of young ladies, while in search of his wife, whose guardian separated fhem on the, eve of their marriage. The c* nip Heated situa tions are said to keep the audience in one continuous roar of laughter from ®|art to IMTGHTA.N'T TO CHRISTIANS.

Is Being Talked s 3f9 n to Be Held in 1900- There is considerable talk among the . atholics in Macon about holding a great thuroh congress at the beginning of the new century. The Church Progress, in St. Louis, heads the movement direc- tion and says among other things; VI by cannot the American church cele brate the opening of the new century with a great national Catholic congress, such as aer frequently held in many European countries, and such as Australasia is pre paring to hold in 1900? Such a gathering would be of incalcula ble service to English-speaking North Auierica. If not many tangible results fol lowed from tfie only one thus far held, that of Baltirnjore ip 1889, it is because it was crowded in between ©they events, bo that the sessions did not last Long enough [of the delegates to begin to get acquaifit.i ed, much jess to do any real work. What a glpyious Pentecostal spectacle it would be to see of ti?e great American church meeting together on sueh an occasion. We are many rites .and al most of all language*. Besides Lg-tt# Catholics, ae most of us are, have among us many churches that belong to the £rreek, Greco-Ruthenian, Armenian and rites, and we do not know how many others. By language we are divide into English, German. French, Czech, Polish, Slo vak, Dutch, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Port ugese. Spanish, and Lithuanian s>id doubtless others still. l«a rece ye aye Indo-Europeans, Indians, Semites, uegro®?. and .since the acquisition of our new terrtwree? fe l £b e Pacific. Ma lays and perhaps Negfttpe* and Mongo lians. ' , . The more fully all these rite*, language* and races could be represented, both by clergymen and laymen, the more useful proposed congress would be.

General Merritt's private secretary writes to a friend in Washington: “Cavite 1$ a strange plane. Thq njMcts fire paprow, houses pply one story high, and the horses are but mere popies. They are driven to funny little two wheel contrivances. Another man and myself drove around in one of these carts yester day afternoon, and all it cost us for the two hours we had it was 30 cents, Mexi can; 15 cents, American. Notwithstand ing this low charge, clothes and the like have gone up in price, although I ordered a linen suit, and the price is to b,fi $7, - ' f!Tho rainy season is how on, and when }t rains it rains hard, coming down in regular torrents. The mornings are usual ly clear, and, much to my surprise, I have not as yet found any extremely hot weather. I think the climate is not half as bad as it has been pictured. Certainly |t is not overhot.” Believes In Vaccination. The Duke of Argyll has given the anti ypecinationis'ts the following “testimo nial;” “I look upon theeifqptsof vaccina tion as one of the great triumphs of pcience, ami I deplore the mania which h<is set in, as the result of a long iinmu pity from the disease, which has led to a dis creditable and stupid forgetfulness of its paupq. Tim highlands of Scotland in the last century used to be swept by the pesti lence to a fearful extent. ‘Decimation’ is now inadequate to convey an idea of the effect on the population. Whole parishes were depopulated. All.this stopped when inoculation came and vaccination subse quently. No fact in history is more clear ly established.” J.Vq«l«ln’t Stop Him.

Sold onl by IMPORTANT TO LADIES During the past few weeks we have had so many in quiries concerning our Dressmaking Department —“Can I have a dress made before the Carnival?” is the question asked—that we desire to make public announcement of the fact that all orders for dresses placed before October 5 will receive immediate and'careful attention, and will be filled in HmDle Time foi me Carnival We desire, too, to lay some stress on the advantages of our Dressmaking Department this season. In the first place, it is in charge of Miss Birdie Smith, one of the most experienced dressmakers in Macon. In point of experience and taste MISS SMITH has few equals. Her work is guaranteed, and with the opportunity now afforded her of adding to her reputation it is a foregone conclusion that Miss Smith’s Creations will take the lead among the fashionable women of Macon and middle Georgia. But another very important point is the fact that MISS SMITH has arranged to turn out the Highest Class Work at Reasonable Prices. She is not disposed to add on five or ten dollars for her name alone She merely charges the worth of the work—and hardly that. We aie convinced that the fashionable women of Macon and vicinity will live to thank us for directing their atten tion to MISS SMITH’S work and prices when once they give her a trial. We know from years of experience in the business that Her Work Cannot be excelled in Macon, and Her Prices Cannot be Duplicated. If you must have one or two new dresses for the Car nival, it will pay you to consult MISS SMITH at once. Here are a few suggestions that may help you to make a selection at once—and we have made the prices with a view to inducing immediate action on your part: Black Dress Goods. 50c yard, black crepons. worth 69c. 75c yard, 44-lnch Black Crepons in handsome designs, worth sl.
