WILSON-CLEVELAND.
The Great Minstrel Combination at the
Academy. Next Week.
The ladiese always did love George Wil
son and W. S. Cleveland.
When they were rivals, managing oppos
ing shows, they sighed and said that it
was a shame that two such splendid fel
lows should be enemies. They sigh no
longer, for the favorites have combined
and it is now the Wilson-Cleveland Min
strel Company. George has away with
him that always wins the hearts of the
•women, and when he sings, “Girls, I Dove
You AM," he makes each one of the dear
creatures jealous of the rest, for you know
she would much rather have George love
her alone. W. S. Cleveland, whose hand
some face and stalwart, commanding figure
are familiar on the streets of evefy city in
*the country, has no a hold on the
hearts of the feminine majority, and
■wherever he goes there are smiles To greet
him and tears to bid him farewell. John
Queen is another favorite with the ladies,
and so is E. M. Hall. Both are with Wil
son & Cleveland. Such an aggregation of
favorites never got together before and
for the first time the ladies can see them
all in the Same evening and settle on
the one they like best. They will play
here next Wednesday.

GREAT LECTURE
i NEXT MONDAY
I
’ “Stonewall Jackson” Will Be
the Theme of Wendling’s
Oration in Macon.
AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING
For the Lyceum Will Bring Out a
Large Audience of the Best
People in the City.
The Macon Lyceum people are jubilant
today over their good fortune in securing
George R. Wendling for next Monday
night.
This famous orator and lecturer Is prob
ably without a peer upon the American
platform, and his lectures are pronounced
marvels of beauty.
For the third time Atlanta has selected
him for the opening night of the season.
Augusta has him for the first and second
nights. Columbus has him for the first
night.
On Monday Macon’s Lyceum begins its
existence under a baptism of his elo
quence.
George R. Wendling is a Virginian, born
among the scenes which famed the heroic
campaigns of that immortal soldier,
Stonewall Jackson. Imbued with the
same high sentiments, In love with his
country's history and devoted to her tra
ditions, gifted with all tho graces of
rhetoric and diction, a man of fine pres
ence and massive head, he is eminently
fitted for a masterly exposition of the life
and character of the South's ideal man.
His coming is directly due to Macon's
new and enthusiastic Lyceum, and if it
did no more than bring Wendling here it
has earned the thanks of the city.
The Lyceum will issue upon Monday
tickets to all members that admit two. It
will then offer for sale the seats and space
left over. If the membership of the
Lyceum has reached the limit, which is
300 and means an audience of 600, there
will be no seats sold. If you are not a
member of the Lyceum send in at once
your name to H. S. Edwards, secretary.
If you have a son or daughter preparing
for life, send in his or her name.
Yesterday’s Atlanta Journal devotes
nearly two columns to Wendling’s lecture
of the night before, on “The Man of
Gallilee,” and the 'Constitution a strong
editorial in addition to its local. From the
former we quote a few lines:
“The lecture was in many respects a
wonderful performance. There was no
appeararnce of declamation, and only now
and then a gesture, but the audience hung
on the words of the speaker and resented
the slightest interruption. His style was
perspicious and the words seemed only
a scaffolding to support the weight of
ideas. There was no apparent use of the
dramatic power with which the speaker
is gifted until the very close of the lec
ture, when, with wonderful effect, he un
veiled the cplossal figure he had painted
and explained.
“As to oratorical flights which the rhet
oricians coldly call peroration, let us have
none. No words of any language of this
earth could raise our conception to a
greater eminence. Are we not already
above the mists of the world, where the
finger points to the infinite?’
‘lt was as if he had raised the audi
ence imperceptibly, step by step, until
their heads were above the clouds, and
there a burst of light revealed the “Man
of Galilen” towering above the forms of
men.
“ ‘The stages by which the speaker at
tained the great eminence were covered
with rhetorical verdure to hide the crags
of thought and fact. He seemed to have
caught the spirit of Voltaire’s aphorism,
which he quoted, ‘Adjectives are the ene
mies of nouns,’ and his own style was
in places a fine imitation of that of the
Great Galileean in the parables. iMr.
Wendling said of the style of Christ’s
discourse. .
Mr. Wendling’s subject in Macon will
be “Stonewall Jackson.” A movement is
on foot to bring out in evening dress a
large party that will add brilliancy to the
occasion.

KIPLINGAS A
PROHIBITIONIST.
Why He Changed the Views
He Had Previously
Held.
In his “American Notes,” page 121, Rud
yard Kipling, the English author whose
stories and poems are read by all the
English-speaking world, tells how, in a
concert hall in the city of Buffalo, he saw
two young men get two girls drunk and
then lead them reeling down a dark street.
Mr. Kipling has not been a total abstainer
nor have his writing commented temper
ance. but of that scene he writes:
“Then, recanting previous opinions, I
became a Prohibitionist. Better it is that
a man should go without his beer in public
places, and content himself with swearing
at 'the narrow-mindedness of the majority;
better it is to poison she inside with very
vile temperance drinks, and to buy lager
furtively at back doors, than to bring
temptation to the lips of young fools such
as the four I had seen. I understand now
why the preachers rage against drink. I
have said: ‘There is no harm in it, taken
moderately;’ and yet my own demand for
beer helped to seid these two girls reeling
down the dark street to—God only knows
what end. If liquor is worth drinking,
it is worth taking a little trouble to come
at—such trouble as a man will undergo to
compass his own desires. It is not good
that we should let it lie before the eyes of
children, and I have been a fool for writ
ing to the contrary.”

AGUINALDO’S INFLUENCE
Is Decidedly on the Wane According to Re
port from Gen. Otis.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 20.—A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major General Otis has calbled to the
lyar department a review of the situation
In the Philippines, showing that Agui
naldo’s Influence is on the wane.
General Otis stated that Aguinaldo’s
forces were being rapidly depleted. Many
of the deserters are Joining the Spanish
party, apparently because of the belief in
the possibility that the island may be re
turned to Spain.
The situation Is peaceful and there Is lit-
Pe danger of trouble between the natives
and Americans, and Genera: Otis express
ed confidence in his ability to cope with
any developments. •
'Secretary Alger sent a copy of the dis
patch to the state department and it is
pxpected that it will be cabled to the
American com miss ion ere In Paris.
Adjutant General Simpkins, who has
just returned to Washington, brought with
him from Manila all the correspondence
Which has passed ■between Rear Admiral
Dewey .and Major General Merritt and
Agulnaldo.
This correspondence shows conclusively
that the American officers entered into no
alliance, direct, with Aguinaldo,
and that the hands of this government
are tied in no way as a result of the co
operation of the Insurgents.
Some of the more important passages of
the correspondence have been cabled to
Paris and 'complete copies were forwarded
to the commissioners by mail today.
LETT GOT A VERDICT
For Three Thousand Dollars Against Wa
bash Railroad.
By Associated Press. '
New York, Oct. 20.—Jacob Litt, the the
atrical manager, has obtained a verdict for
49 ,000 against the Wabash Railroad in the
second judicial district court in Long Is
land City. The suit was brought to re
cover the value of scenery, properties, bag
gage and. horses used fby Mr. Litt in his
production of “In Old Kentucky,’’ destroy
ed by the iburnlng of a baggage car of a
special train of the Wabash line near Kan
sas City in January, 1898.
(When the claim was presented to the
officers of the railroad in St. Louis, pay
ment was refused on the ground that the
road was not responsible as a common car
rier, because the train was specially char
tered and the company had no control aver
Is.
Judge Garrettson directed! the jury to
bring in a verdict for Mr. Litt. The judge
held that a railroad company was liable
under the circumetances as a common car
rier.
The case has been closely watched by
theatrical managers, because it is said to
be the first instance wherein a railroad
company has contested a claim for dama
gges resulting from a destruction of bag
gage and scenery in transit. Theatrical
men contend that the position of the rail
road company was untenable.
PEST HOUSES’
To Be Torn Down —Will Be Carried to Ross
Home.
The county pest houses which were
erected during the smallpox epidemic will
be torn down this week and the lumber
will be carried to the Ross Home where
it will be used in - making shelters.
The pest houses were erected on the
condition that they should be torn down
as soon as the disease was stamped out
and many complaints have been made by
the people residing in that section. The
complaints became so numerous that 'the
county commissioners ordered the houses
torn down. It will be a loss to the county
but the commissioners had to abide by
their contract with the residents of that
section.

D°ings of the Day in Jhe Commissioners
Office.
An interesting ease was tried before
Commissioner Erwin this morning. W. G.
Smith was charged with Intimidating an
other witness who had given testimony
against a moonshiner. The witness was
D. J. Brown and he claimed that Smith
had threatened his life because he had
testified against Joe Durden who was

ing.
Smith proved, however, that he did not
make any threats, but that he was only
carrying messages from Durden, who was
convicted. Smith was released as tha
evidence showed that he was not guilty.

has been threatened several times by the
moonshiners. Durden is now out on bond
and it is understood that he said that he
would get even with those who testified
against him.
