PRIVATE FLYNN.
Who Was Cut Several Davs Ago is Rap
idly Recovering.
Private Flynn, who was so seriously cut |
Tuesday by Private Tilford at j
| the camp of the Engineers, is resting well
and the surgeons think that he will re
; cover.
Private Tilford has been captured and is
now held in the guard house. It is very
probable that he will be turned ever to the
J civil authorities for trial.
He has employed Mr. ■ John R. Copper to
defend him in the eveilt that he is tried in
. the state courts. It is eaid at thecamps .
that the cutting was done in self defense, '
I but others say. that Tilford had no cause I
I w ha;-ever to cut Flynir.
If the man is tried in the state court Ibis
. case will not come up until January.
THE HEART OF MARYLAND® I
Will Be at the Academy of Music Monday ;
Night.
David Belasco’s famous play, “The i
Heart of Maryland,” which is to be pre- ;
: sented at the Academy of Music on next
i Wednesday night, is one of the few plays
I now patent upon which the English speak
ing stage that is natural, not exaggerated
, in the heroism of its situations nor over
-1 strained for the sake of effect in the nar
ration of its story. Its theme is woman’s
love, and her struggle to protect and j
j shield from harm the one to secure whose i
' happiness she devotes all the energies of
her nature, is the animate motive and ab- '
' j
'sorbent interest of its action.
; After its triumphant success in every i
! leading city in this country, its presenta

! ter, crowned its American company and
I the author with the laurels of an artistic ,
j and literary triumph seldom accarded to
■ ihe dramatic work of those foreign to the ,
i English stage. Throughout its long se-
j ries of performances it ran nightly, ap
[ plauded to the verw echo by crowded and
enthusiastic- audiences, of which the no
bility and the most cultured of the Metro
politan playgoers were conspicuous in
their demonstrations of approval.
There is no denying that this play is
’ worthy of the most liberal patronage of
J our theater goers. It is a splendid produc
j tion of dramatic skill and enterprise,
j Moreover, it is interpreted by a cast that
jis as nearly perfect as it would seem
possible.
HONORABLE METHODIST
Offer to Return that s2Bß,ooo—Congress
will Probably not Accept.
An Atlanta Journal AA’ashington special ;
i says: Nice President Hobart today sub
i mitted the following letter, which he has
[ received from the Methodist church south,
j to the senate:
“My Dear Sir—At a meeting of the bish- i
ops of the Methodist Episcopal church i
i south, held in Nashville, Tenn., July 4, ■
i 1898, with reference to the war claim re- i
i cently granted by the government to the
church they represent, the following ac
tion was taken by them, of which it is
made my duty to give you as president of
; the senate of the United States, official
, notice for presentation to that honorable
i body: AVbile reaffirming the justness of
j our claim, payment of which has been
i sought for 25 years, we insist that the
j church cannot afford to accept it as a
guaranty or on condition that reflect upon
i its honor.”
“Inasmuch, therefore, as some senators
J have affirmed on the floor of the senate
i they were induced to support the
claim by misleading statements on the
part of the representatives of the church
—statements, however, which did not af
fect the merits of our claim—we hereby
j give this assurance: that if the senate, by
: affirmative action, declares that the pas
. sage of the bill was due to such mislead
ing statements, we wil take the proper
i steps to have the entire amount returned
i o the government.
“(Signed) ROBERT K. HARGROA’E. :
. “Secretary of the College of Bishops.”
The general impression among the sena-
I tors with whom I have -talked on the sub-
■ ject is that the senate will not ask that
j the money be returned. The opinion of
, many is that the senate has no right to
make the request not to receive the money
. from the bishops inasmuch as the money
' was paid for property which is. to all pur
, poses, in the possession of theaged and in
! firm clergymen of the Methodist church.
The point is also made that should the
; bishops claim jurisdiction over the Meth
odist publishing house that they could be
enjoined by the aged clergyman who is
now a recipient of the earnings of the
Methodist publishing house.
An attempt to refund the $288,000 to
the government would involve much liti
gation. The matter will continue to be
agitated, however, here in congress by
• one faction in the church which wishes to
I return the money. In all probability
I there will be no further action taken in
' the matter.
Senator Pasco, who conducted the in-
I vestigation, at rhe last session, said to
me: “The committee will either ignore, the
. matter further or else report to the senate
their recommendation that nothing more
j be done. The senate is through with the
matter.”

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful de
liverance from a frightful death. Tn tell- i
; ing of it he says: “I was taken with ty- I
phoid fever, -that ran into pneumonia. I
My lungs became hardened. I was so
'.v.-.ak 4 I couldn’t even sit up in bed. Noth
helped me. I expected to soon die of
o ‘.’.sumption, when I heard of Dr. King's
New Discovery. Nine bottles gave great
reiiof. I continued to use it, and. now am
well and strong, I can’t say too much in
its praise.” This marvellous medicine is

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9 189 b,
MACON'SHEALTH.
Only Two Deaths in Three
Weeks Among the Soldiers.
J REMARKABLE RECORD,
General Wilson’s Camp Has the
Same Experience that Ray’s
Regiment Had,
i
For the past three weeks, during which
time over six thousand trops have been j
camped in and around Macon onlv two
soldiers have died of disease. Both these ,
soldiers were negroes and were members 1
of the Seventh Immunes regiment. The !
cause of the men’s death was pneumonia, i
which was contracted by unnecessary ex- .
posure on the part of themselves.
This is a remarkable health record and '
, goes to show that Macon is one of the |
healthiest cities in the world. Never be- i
fore in the history of the army has so
large a body of men camped together for j
so long a time with as few deaths as have j
occurred here. Six thousand troops is a
large body of men when a person comes ;
to think of it and the fact that they are
all massed in one body is another proof 1
that Macon ranks among the. foremost in
the matter of health..
Ray’s Immunes were camped her all
during the summer and out of the 1,200
men of that regiment not one of them
died, nor were any of them sick for any
length of time. The regiment was camped
near the river also.
The First Georgia was in camp here for
over a month and out of that body one sol
dier died and the disease was contracted
at Knoxville before coming here.
One of the army surgeons in speaking
of the matter last night said that Macon
was one of the healthiest places that he
had ever seen and that its health record
was wonderful. He said that he had been
in many camps this summer but that Ma
con was the best he had yet seen in the
matter of health.
As was stated in the News some time i
ago. it is very probable that the govern
ment will locate a permanent hospital
here. The surgeons are in favor of it and
say that they will recommend it.
The number of patients at the division
hospital is very small and very few of the
men are sick. It is a noteworthy fact that
the main trouble at the hospital is la
grippe and that many of the soldiers are
only affected with that disease. No con
tagious disease has yet made its appear
ance among the troops, nod is any liable
to as the sanitary condition of all of the
camps is perfect.
Macon should be proud of her health re
cord as no other city in the Union can
boast of one so good.
No Right to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face, form
and temper will always have friends, but :
one who would be attractive must keep |
health. If she is weak, sickly and all
run down she will be nervous and irri- ;
table. If she has constipation or kidne'y
trouble, her impure blood will cause pim- ‘
pies, blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is
the best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify
the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright
eyes, smooth velvety skin, rich com
pleccion. It will make a good looking wo- i
man of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents j
