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. LEGISLATION COMMITTEE Os the Georgia Teacher's Association Will Meet in Atlanta.

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. HOW TO PREVENT CROUP. We have two children who are subject to attacks of croup. Whenever at attack is coming on my wife gives them Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy and it always prevents the atack.

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.” THANKS OF THE LADIES Os the Diamond Case is Extended to The News- Macon, October 19.

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.

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.

(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.
