MT W DIO 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 Mrs. Gage: Secretary Alger, Mrs Alger: 1 Secretary Long, Miss Long: Postmaster- j general Smith, Mrs. Smith: Secretary Bliss, Miss Bliss: Secretary Wilson.

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 Free Medical Treatment for Weak Men I X Who Are Willing to Pay When _ L Convinced of Cure. ■ ' ] A scientific combined medical and mechanical cure ha» • | been discovered for* Weakness of Men.” Its success Lai i| I been so startling tha the proprietors now announce that —-i / I I -they will send it on trial—remedies and appliance y JV / / —without advance payment—to any honest man. a>‘ >*■ VB s I ' If not all that is claimed all you wish send it 'py* V. > back—that ends it—pay nothing! q Z/ No such offer was ever made in good faith before; Il ! /Zz \ VxV s * we believe no other remedy would stand such a te< \)'V IP» This corn bmetl treatment cures quickly, thoroughly IM ' and forever all effects of early evil habits, later ex- w\\ b//< ' cesses, overwork, worry, etc. It creates health, L F'._- —strength, vitality, sustaining powers and restores K -X'' <Z< 7 -'' r^: vS weak and undeveloi-ed portions to natural dimen- V « a. lions at functions.

Bears ihe The Kind You Have Always Bought I Sis “T 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.” BW Erysipelas Two Diseases That Cause Their Victims to Be Shunned by Their Fellow-Man.
