Presidential Invitation Com
mittee Makes its Report.
RECOBD OF THE TRIP
Just What Kind of Review the Pres
ident Desires—Will not Go
to CamDS.
The special committee of the general
ommlttee on invitation, which has re
f urned from Washington, where it obtaln
.l the president’s consent to visit Macon
n the course of his southern trip, met
». .ns. momiig at the Chamber of Commerce
and drew up a formal report of its work.
This report will be submitted to the gen
ral committee next Monday. The report
i-< as follows:
Macon, Ga., Dec. 19, 1898.
To R. M. Rogers, Esq., President Cham
ber Commerce—Dear Sir: -As instructed,
your commit te, appointed to convey per
sonally the invitation to President Mc-
Kinley to visit Macon, left Macon via the
Southern Railway at 7:10 Saturday night,
reaching Washington Sunday night.
We called at the executive mansion at
10:30 Monday morning and arranged for
an. interview with the president at 3
o’clock that afternoon. At 3 o’clock the
president, according to appointment, met
Honorable A. O. Bacon and Honora
ble C. L. Bartlett in a few remarks ex
plained the object of our visit, after which
Miss Mary Wilson presented the engrossed
nvitation to the president. The president
explained that it would be, gratifying to
him to be able to visit Macon, but he
hardly could see his way clear to do so;
chat the matter would 'be given due con
sideration, and every possible effort would
■he made to accede to the kind invitation
of the citizens of Macon. After the dif
ferent. railway lines were pointed out to
the president we received somewhat more
encouragement. By suggestion of the
Honorable A. O. Bacon the president re
pue*ted us to confer with his private sec
retary, Mr. G. A. Porter. After this we
cook leave of the president to confer with
Mr. Porter, as suggested. We made an
■ ngagement with Mr. Porter for the fol
lowing morning at 10 o’clock.
Promptly at the appointed hour your
committee, also Mr. L. S. Brown, general
of the passenger department of the
Southern railway, who had been consult
ig with Mr. Porter regarding the South
ern trip, met Mr. Porter. After consider
tble discussion no final arrangement, could
be made. We, therefore, made an en
gagement with iMr. Porter for 3 o’clock
that afternoon. This meeting turned out
rhe same as the meeting in the morning.
Mr. Porter asked us how long wg would
main in Washington, to which w« re
plied that we were there to remain until
we had a definite reply regarding the pro
posed visit of the president to Macon. We
therefore made arrangements to meet Mr.
Porter 'at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning,
at which time 'the engagement was ful- i
filled.
After quite a discussion we were sue- '
cessful in securing a promise from Mr. i
Porter that the president would visit ‘Ma
con on Monday, December 19. Immedi
ately after which 'the message confirming
this was sent to Mr. R. M. Rogers.
On our going trip we met General
Wheeler, who accepted our invitation.
This was made known to Mr. Porter, who
requested us to invite the general to be
of the president’s party. After conveying
i his invitat ion to General Wheeler, he was
very much pleased, indeed, and stated
That nothin# would give him more pleas
ure than to visit Macon. This informa
tion was immediately telephoned to Pri
vate Secretary Porter, and It was at that
rime definitely arranged to have General
. Wheeler join the party. We are advised
Uy General Wheeler that he will be ac
ompanif»d by his daughters.
Op cur return 'to the hotel we sent you ,
!•**•<. tele-gram reading as follows:
‘ “In connection with telegram sent you
’ his morning by the president's private
secretary we are definitely informed that
he president and cabinet wilt visit Macon
December 19th. His party will consist of
'he following: The president, Mrs. Me- •
Kinley, maid, steward; Secretary Gage, i

The president will reach Macon at 9:00
u m. Monday, December 19th. Review
will commence not later than 9:30 a. m.
is the president must leave Macon at
toon in order to reach Washington early
Tuesday morning.
In conversation with the presidnt’s pri
vate secretary as to an entertainment it j
jpvas particularly requested that we make
:he demonstration as simple as possible,
it heing desired that the troops should
lb**' reviewed on the principal street of the
ity, avoiding the necessary long drive to
iie camps. It was further suggested that
is simple a reception as possible be given
ihe president, particular stress being
laid upon the fact that the president's
pleasure would be augmented by the re
t :ew of the troops and rhe decorations of
the city. The suggestion 'was made that it
would be a good idea to have the troops
lined up as near the depot as possible up
on the president’s arrival, and to have the
roops follow the carriages containing the

Stealing to Sustain Life.
Should a starving man and a woman be
convicted of theft for taking bread when
it is to save their life'? This question is
being keenly discussed in the French
press. The court at Chateau-Thierry ac
quitted a woman who stole bread for her
mother and child, who had been without
, food for 36 hours, and an appeal has been
| lodged on behalf of the government. It is
, argued that such an act is not theft ac-
I cording to French law. The mediaeval law
i did not consider it a crime; the criminal
code of Charles V expressly excluded it,
• and Diderot and the other encyclopedists
in the encyclopedia published in 1765 said,
! “Any one who takes from necessity and
! solely to prevent death from starvation
1 does not commit the crime of theft.” —
London Chronicle.
A New Artificial Stone.
Papyristite is a new artificial stone
made from purified paper pulp and other
ingredients by Fr. Gehre, a civil engineer
|of Zurijh. It is an improvement on papy
rolitte, invented by the same man. It is
especially intended for jointless roofs or
floors, and is a nonconductor of heat, cold
or sound. It is hard as a stone, but has
a soft, linoleumlike feeling under foot,
and is noiseless. It weighs less than stone
. or cement, and 220 pounds of the prepara
tion in powdered form, spread .4 inch
thick, will cover 90 square feet. The cost
is said to be exceedingly low, and it can
be laid without special machinery. It is
dry in 24 hours, and can then be highly
polished.—Engineering News.
His Two Texts.
The Troy Times says that when the cor
poral ion of Yale college was considering
the question of a president, some 12 years
ago, Dr. Timothy Dwight, who was then
a professor in the Yale Divinity schobl, in
speaking of the suggestion of his own
name for the position said to his class
that he had in mind two texts to apply to
the result. In case the choice fell on some
other man than himself, then he would
say with Paul, in Hebrews xiii. 23, “Know
ye that our brother Timothy is set at lib-
I erty.” Should he be selected, then he
would try to carry our the injunction in I
Timothy iv, 12, “Let no man despise thy
youth.”

Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring* I became
Much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P, P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
Market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore*
cheerfully recommend it.
