Israel Zangwill.
Israel Zangwill, the Hebrew author
who i.» now touring‘the South, is one ot
the most unique as well as distinqultfhed
characters in the literary world. He was
l«>rn in the .poor Jewish quarter, the
“Ghetto,” of London, thirty-three years
ago, and received his education in the free
Jewish schools of London. He was reared
■by very jx»or parents, and his training was
only euoh as was afforded out of the pub
lic purse. L'jton his graduation he be
i'.'uik' a teacher in the school where ho
was educated, and first attracted atten
tion by satires on London society, 'Which
< i*t him hla jxesition. He then establish
ed the ‘‘Ariel,” ami later became the edi
tor of the Standard. While at work on
tire Standard lie beg.yi the publication of
the "Ghetto" series, which have made
'him famous.
Zangwill is distinguished by a breezy,
epigrammatic style, which punctures
n<>n.-eii f . through the midriff and presents
the naked truth in the clearest light. This
quality has made him easily the greatest
< t itle in London. He is a self-made man
—as much so as Charles Dickens, and is
much like his illustrious predecessor in
his trenchant exjivsition of liteary, social,
uligious and civic fraud. His passion is
horseback riding, and his weakness, as it
were, is his love of the "Glxelta,” where
he etill lives. Like other great self-made
m< n, he probably takes pride in constantly
reminding himself of the humble origin
whence he sprang.
The Atchison Globe charges that half
the men carry the watches they gave their
wives before marriage.
Is It a Trust?
A unique and Jmimrtant jroint has been
raised by Attorney General Monnett, of
Ohio, which may have lhe effect of break
ing up the various insurance combines
which control and tlx rates. The Ohio at
torney general has begun proceedings in
tlie supreme court, to oust about sixty in
surance agents of Akron who have formed
an organization to fix fire insurance rates.
Thin will test, the question raised between
4lie attorney general and State Insurance
Commissioner Matthews as to whether
agents can make such combinations. Suit
'is brought under the general decision of
tlie Ohio supreme court that such combi
nations are in restraint of trade and
against public policy.
if lhe attorney general of Ohio is suc
cessful in breaking up a combine of this
character, it is quite probable that pro
ceedings will be brought against the
Southeastern Tariff Association,, which is
a combination "in restraint of trade and
against public policy.”
The political forcasts of the New York
papers seem to have indicated nothing ex

pers.
Contemptible, if True.
The London Chronicle has always been
known as ah enterprising ami reliable
journal. Last week it published a sensa
tional dispatch from the Soudan to the
effect that Major Marchand, before the
battle, of Omdurman. communicated with
the Khalifa, inviting the 'Dervish chief to
hoist the French flag with the purpose of
Incoming an ally of France. The dispatch,
furthermore, stated that the letter ot
Marehand and the Khalifa’s reply are in
General Kitchener's possession.
While the story seems fantastically in
credible, it still remains undenied.
Strangely inexplicable is the Sirdar’s si
lence on this startling announcement,
since his arrival in London.
Should the tale be shown to have a
Ixisis France will be the object of inter
national contempt. It is barely believable
that one civilized nation would seek the
circumvention of another by rendering aid
and comfort to Dervish fanatics. It is an
attack on humanity. It is not a question
inf "All is fair in love and war—and di
plomacy. It is a blunder—a damaging
and criminal one on the part of French
statesmen. If a nation shall seek to align
itself with barbarism as opposed to a civ
ilizing force, such action merits that she
shall be treated ns an Ishmaelite among
•the humane and progressive peoples of
the world.

A Matrimonial Chair.
The Northwestern University, at Evan
ston. 111., a Chicago suburb, has establish
ed a matrimonial course “to inculcate cor
rectness of style and demeanor while in
the act of getting married.” Well, well!
d'p to the present writing it has been the
■world-wide belief that in matters Hyme
neal, the Chicagoans had nothing to learn.
And it has been no indistinct part of the
world’s knowledge that in the undoing of
Hymens work, the Windy Citizans are the
prize winners of the advanced classes.
Hence, the surprise that will be occasion
al when it is learned that the potent,
grave and reverend seignore of the North
western University have appointed a pro
fessor whose duty it is to teach young
men and women of the Lake City proper
standards of matrimonial etiquette.
In fancy one can hear the professorial
iconoclast talking thus:
"You must avoid all display of feeling.
Such exhibitions are vulgar. Your grand
fathers and grandmothers committed that
fault. I pray you avoid iL
"There must be no betrayal of pretty
confusion on the part of the bride.
The groom must display no braggadocio. I
"You will be relieved of all embarrass
ment about finding the ring—the officiat
ing clergyman will have one in his pocket
ready for use.
"Don't trouble yourself about handing
the minister a S2O gold piece, or a SIOO
note —your best man will attend to that.
“The groom should not bother himself
about kissing the bride at the conclusion
..I /
of the ceremony—l will be on hand to at
tend to the osculatory requisites ”
Thus, at this rapid rate we are traveling
toward the prosaic age—the age when
man can plight his troth or wonun hers,
and exhibit no more emotion than when
he says: “A close shave, please,” or she;
“Three yards and a half, please.” The
poet, like Othello, will find his occupation
gone. The dramatist, whose specialty has I
been catering to the tear-ducts, will be in
arrears for his room rent. And this chair
at the Evanston school will be responsible
for it all.
The people of North Carolina have rea
son to appreciate the work of the Atlanta
Constitution during the recent campaign
in that state. Had the Constitution been
a North Carolina paper it could not have
labored more faithfully in the interests of
the white people of that stat% and it is
quite evident that Its efforts did much
which has at last rid the state of negro
domination.
sentiment which has at last rid the state
of negro domination.
BIG JUBILEE
IsWm. H. West’s Idea of Modern Stage
Minstrelsy.
At the time of the formation of William
H. West's Big Minstrel Jubilee, which is
to be seen here for the first time on next
Saturday night, there was considerable
talk of how different it was to be from all
that had gone before. The public, not un
naturally perhaps, inquired somewhat
doubtingly how, after all, one minstrel
show could differ from another. Mr. West
has positive opinions on this subject. His
' idea of modern minstrelsy is that it must,
in. a musical way, have all the value of
opera; that it must exceed in novelty any
thing known in vaudeville;. that it must
retain only a tinge of the picturesqueness
of the plantation; that it must please the
ear by vocal and orchestral excel lenece;
must surprise and delight the eye by the
beauty of its costumes and stage settings;
and must astonish the mind by the abso
lute novelty of its special features and the
spectacular character of its finale.* He be
lieves, in fact, that modern minstrelsy, or
rather the minstrelsy of the future such
as he has inaugurated, should draw all
that is best from every form of entertain
ment known to the stage, uniting them in
a pot pourri of up-to-dateness. .All should
go with the dash, rapidity and sparkle of
the ideal farce-comedy. The brightest,
latest jests, a touching ballad, a scream
ingly funny song, a refrain of the old
time darky, a daring feat of a stage ath
lete, the lightning marvelousness of a
clever juggler, a monologue of quaintest
humor, the twinkling of dancing feet,
grace, skill, melody, fun —all these follow
ing on one another’s heels with electric
swiftness, and with color, light, beauty,
brilliancy everywhere—<tha’s modern min
strelsy according to "Billy” West's ideas.
That, too, is what he promisee for his
“Big Minstrel Jubilee.” If he carries it
out the public will rise and call him Jdess
ed, for the public is hungry for just that
sort of ’thing.
AGAINST PHTLTIPPTNES.
Boston Merchants Are Opposed to the Ac
quisition of Islands.
By Associated Press.
'Boston, Nov. 10—At a meeting of the
directors of the Boston Merchants Asso
ciation the following resolution was unan
imously adopted:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the'
board of directors of this association the
acquisition of any part of the Philippine
islands except what is needed for a naval
station would be detrimental to the inter
ests of the United States.”
ACADEMY TONIGHT.
Musical Comedy is the Attraction to Play
Against the Circus.
“A Hired Girl,” a musical comedy by
Chas. E. Blaney, author of “A Baggage
Check,” “A Run on the Bank,” “A Female
Drummer,” “A Boy Wanted,” “The Elec
trician,” “A 'Railroad Ticket,” and other
successes, will be the atraction at the
Academy tonight.
It is a satire on the servant girl ques-
1 1 : \
wtl
tion, and this despised menial as por
trayed by Thos. J. 'Ryan, succeeds in get
ting herself entangled in numerous amus
ing- situations. The special music was
written by Harry James, and in addition
the latest topical songs and operatic fa
vorites are introduced.
There are also specialties by Happy
Fannie Fields, Edwina. 'Annie and Chas.
Glockers, Campbell and Beard, and nu
merous other artists.

.-OTfIIVV”, i slowly
-» to
I w death at the
stake of dis-
. ease. Their
bodies cry out but in a language that only
the sufferers themselves can hear. When
a man is suffering in this way his body
cries out with an aching head, a sluggish
body, muscles that are lax and lazy, a brain
that is dull, a stomach that disdains food
and nerves that will not rest.
A wise man will heed these warnings and
will resort to the right remedy before it is
too late. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery makes the appetite keen and hearty.
It invigorates the liver. It promotes the
natural processes of secretion and excre
tion. It makes the digestion and assimila
tion perfect. It purifies the blood and fills
it with the life-giving elements of the food.
It tears down old and worn-out tissues and
replaces them with the firm, muscular tis
sues of health. It is the great blood-maker
and flesh-builder. It is the best nerve tonic.
It cures 98 pqr cent, of all cases of consump
tion. weak lungs, bronchitis, lingering
coughs and kiuared ailments. Found at
all medicine stones. Accept no substitute
that may be represented as "just as good.”
| The “just as good” kind doesn't effect
cures like the following :
I " Twenty-five years ago eight different doctors
told me that I would live but a short time, that
I had consumption and must die," writes Geo.
R. Coope, Esq., of Myers Valley, Pottawatomie
Co.. Keim, “I finallv conuaenced taking Dr.
Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and am still
fa the land and among the living.”
Don’t suffer from constipation. Keep
the body clean inside as well as outside.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con
stipation and biliousness. They never
gripe. All good dealers have them.

BEGGAR, BUT NO LIAR.
A Mendicant’s Account of How He Lost •
Leg In Cuba.
“Yes, sir.” said the one legged man
mournfully t-c the man whose attention ho
i had attracted by addressing him as “Say,
friend”—“l list this leg at Cuba, and
that’s the trut h. ”
“You don’t say,” the other observed
sympathetically. “I’ve been reading about
the trials and troubles of you poor fellows
•—that is, allowing you are telling facts
and really were there.”
“Friend, I hope I may die in this spot
and die painfully if -it isn’t just as I tell
you. I know I am suspected as a fraud
because there are so many liars who try to
work on people’s sympathies, but I am
telling tho actual, honest truth, I lost
tiiis leg in Cuba. If you’ll give mo a dime
mister, I'll tell you all about it. It's a
very interesting story.”
The sympathetic stranger, being assur
ed, complied:
“It was a dark night, friend,” the crip
ple beg in, “and nobody but a fool or a
man who was half drunk would have
thought of doing such a tiling. I s’pose in
all honesty I ought to confess I’d took a
drop that night.”
“I can understand. I have heard about
that rainfall and the mud and exposure.”
“Yes, it was a dark night, and you could
not sco a thing. Suddenly a bright light
flashed over to the west. It wa» a head
light.”
“Ah, j’es! a searchlight, you mean.”
“And then there came tiie roar and rat
tle of”—
“A rapid fire gun. Was there any smoke
to it?”
‘ ‘ Too dark to see, but I know there was,
though, for I’ve gone against tho same
game in daylight, and I know how it looks.
Well, the fellow who was firing”—
“Only one? But, of course, there was

Tortured By
Rheumatism.
1 A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.
J /
I
If the people generally know the
i true cause of Rheumatism, there
t would be no such thing as lini
ments and lotions for this painful
k and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood—it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
k But all blood remedies can not cure
j Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
i disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy— something more than
" a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is
l the only real blood remedy, and it
i promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago I was taken with in
flammatory Rheumatism, which, though
mild at first, became gradually so in
, tense that I was for weeks unable to
walk. I tried several prominent physi
cians and took their treatment faith
i fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
i entire body, and from November to
March I suffered agony. I tried many
i patent medicines, but none relieved me.
• Upon the advice of a friend I decided to
try S. S. S. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist,analyzed the remedy, and pro
i nounced it free of potash or mercury.
Does Your I
Watch Keep Time ?
Most watches do, but few do so correctly. A |
I grain of dust, a bit of hair, a loose screw, may ■
be the trouble. You cau’t find it—we can. The I
• best watchmaker in Macon is here at your I
service.

' I felt so much better after taking two
bottles, that I continued the remedy,
and in two months I was cured com
pletely. The cure was permanent, for
I have never since had a touch of
Rheumatism, though many times
exposed to damp ’ and cold weather.
Eleanor M. Tippell,
! 3711 Powelton Avenue, Philadelphia.
’ Those who have had experience
’ with Rheumatism know that it
becomes more severe each year,
and like all other blood diseases,
’ the doctors are totally unable to
cure it. In fact,
the only remedies
which they pre
scribe are potash
and mercury, and
though temporary
relief may result,
. these remedies pro
duce a stiffness of
joints and only in-

tensify the disease.
8. S. S. never disappoints, for it
is made to cure these deep-rooted
’ diseases which are beyond the

cures permanently Rheumatism,
