VISITORS—A GALA
WEEK.

[Special.]—Society in the Magic City dur-
iag the past week has been busy with en
tertainments, marriages and receptions.
In musical circles the event of the week
was the “ Oratorio ” given by the First
Baptist church Monday night. It was un
der the able direction of Mr. E. E. Wil
liams, the well known local manager of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
who is one of the most skilled musicians
in the city. The Oratorio was a rendition
of the seven last sayings of Christ. Misses
Fannie Kobinson. Lila Lovelace and Mrs.
Seabrook deserve special mention for their
parts.
The grand german of the Ridotto Club,

a successful affair, largely attended and
highly enjoyed. The university at Tuska-
loosa and Howard College were both well
represented.
The marriage Tuesday night, of Robert
P. McDavid and Miss Virginia Irene Smith,
which took place at the First Methodist

CHRISTMAS IN GRIFFIN.
A SPLENDID RECORD—A FEARFUL LICK.
Griffin, Ga., December 27.—[Special.]
The holidays passed in Griffin without ac
cident or any incident worthy of note.
The streets were, perhaps, more densely
crowded on Christmas day than they had
ever been before, yet Chief of Police Shack
elford says only one arrest was made, and
this one only through fear that the party
arrested would wander off, get down and
freeze, or get ruu over by a passing train.
Religious services were held at the Meth
odist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Episcopal
churches. A good attendance was report
ed at each church.
Griffin is proud of this record, and it is
doubtful if another city its size can boast
such good behavior with such a large
crowd.
At night the young people held a ger
man at the court house, which was largely
attended and greatly enjoyed by those
present. Quite a number of visitors were
present from a distance, who added
greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Several very pleasant firework parties,
masquerades, etc., occurred on Friday
night. Mr. J. M. Mills entertained a
large circle of friends and treated them to
au extensive pyrotechnic display. The
Misses Dismuke gave a similar entertain
ment at their home on Tinsley street.
At the residence of Judge John I. Hall
the young people enjoyed a masquerade.
Some miserable thief who had a great
desire for firearms and overcoats entered
the residence of J. P. Sawtell, editor of
the Morning Call, last night about 7
o’clock, and stole three guns and the
editor’s overcoat. The rascal who would
rob an editor in this style is too mean to
inhabit even the land presided over by his
satanic majesty.
Today at 1 o’clock Henry Rivers, a
negro bar-tender at Mabery Scott’s bar,
knocked an eye out of another negro. The
negro, Rivers says, came in and called
for drinks for himself and friend. After
the drinks were served a
nickel was tendered in pay
ment. Rivers told him the amount
was insufficient and demanded the balance
at which the negro became abusive and
started at Rivers with his knife. Before
the knife could be opened, Rivers had
pasted the intruder in the eye with his
fist, bursiiug the member from its socket.
Rivers was arrested, but gave immediate
bond, without being locked up.

OTHER NOTES.
Seale, December 27.—[Special.]—The
spelling bee came off last night, but owing
to the change in the weather the attend
ance was not quite what had been ex
pected. Only a few persons from the coun
try were present, which fact was regretted,
as our Longview and Viliuia friends were
expected to take-’part in the spelling.
Chicago, December 26.—[Special.]—
At this writing the officials of the World’s
Fair are awaiting the Presidents pleasure
regarding the proclamation which will iD-
vite all the nations of the world to par
ticipate in the grandest exhibit ever con
ceived by man. The proclamation will be
the signal to start, and when the start is
made a successful finish may be depended
upon.
There are in this city, as in all other
cities, wise men who are fittingly called
cranks or croakers. They are sure that
the World’s fair project will not be a suc
cess, because it is too stupendous for them
to comprehend. Little attention, however,
is paid to them in this bustling, seething,
surging city with its 1,200,000 inhabitants
made up from all the nations of the world.
The outcome of the quarrel between the
local directory and a great railroad cor
poration promises |o come to a peaceful
climax. During the past Week the
directory tendered its ultimatum
to the railroad corporation, which
in substance was that they
must remove their railroad tracks from
the lake front or sink them and their cars
out of sight for at least four miles along
the shore. As yet the railroad company
has made no-reply. The object of the di
rectory is to have the entire Jake front
clear when it is proposed to build several
permanent buildings, prominent amoDg
whicli is the grand art palace, to cost
$1,200,000, plans for which are now
finished.
Aside from the anxiety attending the
President’s proclamation, everybody in
Chicago is individually and collectively in
terested in the proposed air ship which is
now being constructed at Mt. Carmel.
Nothing is too chimerical but what it will
attract "the attention of the average Chi-
cagoian. It is promised that within three
weeks the Airship will be finished. The
readers of the Enquirer-Sun have only
to imagine a large cigar-shaped balloon,
with basket attached, capable of carrying
250 people, Spacing at an altitude of 300
feet, and traveling at a rate of speed equal
to 100 miles an hour, to obtain an ade
quate idea of the great aerial discovery.
Messrs. Pennington and Butler do not
claim to be the inventors, but rather dis
coverers, and after eight years of experi
menting, they have satisfied themselves
and others of the practicability of their air
conveyance. In fact, a corporate company
with $20,000,000 capital, all paid in, has
been formed to manufacture the ships, and
not one share of the stock is purchaseable
at any price. Everybody is awaiting the
outcome of the trial trip of the monarch of

ing the last to stand up. The prize was a
handsome copy of “The Lady of the Lake.”
About $8 was taken in at the door and will
be turned over to the cemetery committee.
Mr. John E. Henry “gave out” the
words and presented the prizes. The win
ner of the booby prize confessed to being
greatly consoled by the pretiy red horn
he now blows so musically.
The weather is quite cold and clear to
day, and seems more like winter than at
any time before this season.
Quite a number of persons are spendin_

ton High School, Miss Coriune Evans, of
Clayton Female Academy, Mr. P. A.
Strong, Miss Fanny Lou Williams, and
others are here. Misses Tarver are visit

WOODBURY GOSSIP.
Woodbury, December 27.—[Special.]—
Quite an excitement was created here yes

was under the influence of whisky, waving
his pistol and shooting it promiscuously.
After some, trouble he was arrested and
placed in the lock-up. lie was tried be
fore council and remanded to jail to await
the action of the grand jury.
Thursday night a negro by the name of
Perry Brinson, who was well known here
as a quiet and peaceful negro, was stabbed
by some unknown party, which resuited
in his death. The coroner’s jury returned
a verdict in accordance with the above.
The young people had an entertainment
at the Hotel de Findly Thursday night,
and all spent a delightful time, and after
reveling until a late hour, departed for
their homes, wishing for an early repeti
tion in the future.
It is rumored that we will have a news
paper next year. This will add much to
our town, and will be a fine paying invest
ment for the progressive man, whoever he
may be.
It is stated that tlic Macon and Birming
ham will soon put on a schedule to con
nect with the. Georgia Midland and Gulf.
The Christmas tree Wednesday night
presented a baautiful appearance, and was
leaded with hundreds of beautiful pres
ents.
ABOUT THE CAPITOL.
Washington, December 27.—Eighteen
Senators, with the Vice-President, assem
bled at noon today in the Senate chamber.
The chaplain prayed and'then, on motion
of Hoar, the Senate adjourned. The pro
gram previously arranged had been carried
out, and the Senate, which had refused to
take the usual holiday recess, organized
without transacting any business.
There was not a committee meet
ing on the Senate side today, and
as but one Republican member
of the finance committee (Hiscock) was at
the capitol, there was not even the con
versational reference among Senators to
the financial bill, which was but a few
days ago the all absorbing topic of interest.
It is an undeniable fact that the conser
vative element among Republican Sena
tors—those who believed that there should
be no legislation at all on financial mat
ters, have gained some ground by tbe in
tervention of the holiday season.
"They relied largely upon a
heavy Christmas trade, with a correspond
ingly quickened circulation of money, to
allay the agitation amongthe business men
of the country. They also calculated that
the delay gained by a recess would increase
individual discontent with the caucus
financial bill, and here again they seem to
have been successful, but the extent of the
disaffection cannot yet be foretold, and if
the pending business in the Senate
is disposed of within a reasona
bly short space of time, it is
probable tliat the financial Dill will be
brought up by the votes of Senators who
feel that, while it is not acceptable to them
in every particular, still it is the best com
promise measure attainable.
a deserted house. »
With the exception of a coterie of news
paper men chatting with Representative
Crisp, of Georgia, the hall of the House
was well nigh deserted. Beside Crisp,
Hayes and Wade were the only members
present, and they were engaged in their
correspondence. There was a dearth of
gossip, and the news gatherers found their
search a bootless one.
the question. If, by a happy combination
of aluminum, hydrogen gas, eiecricity and
automatic appliances, it is to be possible,
by increasing the rate of speed, upon the
same day to dine in Chicago and go to the
matinee in New York then, indeed, may
the people of this day and generation con
gratulate themselves that they are liv
ing’ to comprehend it. A model
of the airship, made of wood, is
now' on exhibition at tbe Exposition
building in this city, and is attracting
much attention.
What promises to materially interfere
wdth the plans of a good many people, and
the income of the great exhibition, is
whether or not it shall be kept open Sun
day. A league of men who seem to be self-
elected censors of morality, incorporated a
company the past week, with the object in
view to use their influence to close the
show on Sunday. As this city is in favor
of a liberal democratic government, which
allows the theaters, billiard and drinking
salooms to remain open upon the Sabbath,
the majority vote, if based upon public
opinion, would doubtless be in favor of
keeping “the bars down” Sunday
as well as any other day. People are
flocking to the city in thousands. All are
coming to get rich in 1803 A large per
cent will be back breaking stone upon the
old farm before the fair gets fairly started.
Fourteen thousand people arrived from
Kansas City one day last week. Mammoth
hotels are being erected in all directions,
and all the old ones are being renovated.
Elevated roads, railroads, cable roads, and
probably the air ships, will solve the prob
lem how to get the quarter of a million
visitors to and from the fair grounds every
day. As early as April it is expected the
first spade of dirt will be turned
and the army of artisans and laborers be
set to w’ork.
INTESTING SOUTHEBN NOTES—PERSONAL
AND GENERAL.
New Tobk, December 26.—[Special.]—
Last Thursday will be long remembered
and talked of among the Southern colony
in New York. It was the occasion of the
first Ladies’ Reception given by the mem
bers of the Southern Society at their Club
House on West Twenty-fifth street. The
rooms were beautifully adorned with plants
and flowers—Southern palms and magno
lias being conspicuous among the decora
tions. Costly paintings, from the collec
tions of some of our Southern art lovers,
hung on the walls, and statues from the
chisel of Couper and Valentine stood in
alcoves and corridors. But flowers, paint
ings and statuary were forgotten in look
ing at the throngs of lovely women who
trooped into the rooms from 3 o’clock un
til after dark. At one time it seemed im
possible for any more people to
get into the building, and when
not one quarter of the cards of invitation
had been presented. Room was, however,
found for all, but it has been decided on
the occasion of the next Ladies’ Reception
to secure either the Madison Square Gar
den or the Metropolitan Opera House.
The membership of the Southern Society
numbers about one thousand, and each
member had the privilege of inviting six
ladies. Fully fifteen hundred were re
sponded to, and during the day showers of
letters and telegrams came from New Or
leans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston,
Jackson and over the South, indeed, in
response to cards of invitation sent to
mothers, sisters and friends in the South.
There was an auxiliary reception com
mittee composed of twelve prominent
Southern ladies like Mrs. Hugh R. Gar
den, Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, Mrs. Anna
Bettner and Mrs. John C. Calhoun. A
list of a few of those present taken at
random includes Mrs. Win. K. Vander
bilt, Mrs. Semmes Ives, Mrs. Hicks-Lord,
Mrs. Burton N. Harrison, Mrs. Moncure
D. Conway, Archbishop Corrigan. Gen
eral and Mrs. Fitz John Porter,General and
Mrs. Wagner Swayne, the Countess Ester-
hazy, the Countess de Caumont, Mr. and
Mrs. Ballard Smith, Professor and Mrs.
Charles A. Doremus, Mr. and Mrs. Frcd-
T. Coudert, the Misses Bisland, Miss
Fielding Roselle and Miss Martin of Mis
sissippi, Miss Keith of South Carolina and
Miss Goidthwaite of Alabama. The the
atrical profession was represented by two
beautiful Southern girls, each of whom is
an ornament to the New York stage—Miss
Kitty Cheatham, of Daly’s Theatre, who
is a Memphis giri, and Miss Odette Tyler,
of the Twenty-third Street Theatre, a
daughter of Generai W. W. Kirkland of
North Caroiina. Congratulatory letters
were received from Joseph Jefferson, Wm.
J. Florence and other distinguished actors,
who have been entertained at various
times at the home of the Southern Society.
The first Ladies’ Reception was a pro
nounced success. Its annual recurrence
is now assured.

Glasgow, December 27.—The North
British Railroad Company is making
strong efforts to secure tbe services of as
many new hands as possible, in order to
keep up tbe fight against the suiters. 80
far, the company has met with some suc
cess and the result is that they have suc
ceeded in bringing about a slight improve
ment in the traffic which they keep mov
ing alo’.'g the lines. As the result of an
unofficial conference between the railroad
officials and the representatives oi the
strikers, the latter have agreed to send a
deputation to confer with the board of
directors of the North British company,
on condition, however, that the secretary
of the local labor organization to which
the strikers belong is permitted to be

\
Sometime during the winter w’e are told
that we may expect to see a novel free ex
hibition at the Grand Central Railway
Station. This is to bs a railroad train
with cars filled with the natural products
of the Southern States—the cotton and
rice plants; their grains, their many kinds
of fruits and their fig trees. It will also
show specimens of metals and coais, and
in fact most things that are found under
the earth or that grow in the soil. This
train will make a grand tour through the
cities and towns of the North, beginning
with New York, thence to the Middle
States and the West. It will be known as
the Southern Locomotive Fair, and will
be managed by the Southern Immigration
Company of North Carolina.

The Mississippi Conference will be pre
sided over this year by Bishop John P.
Newman, of the Methodist Episcopal
church. He will leave New York next
week for Mobile and thence go to Moss
Point, a watering place near Mobile where
the conference will sit. Bishop Newman
is an ardent lover of the South and recalls
with delight his pastorate in the city of
New Orleans. There he was the pioneer
of his church, and this year the Metho
dists of New Orleans celebrate their silver
jubilee. It will open on January 14th.
Bishop Newman, although in his 70th
year, is strong and active and in the en
joyment of complete health.

Sardou’s play of “Cleopatra,” as seen
Tuesday night for the first time in New r
York is the climax of tableauismto which
modern playwrights have gradually been
leading u , Sardou, having a contempt for
his fellow writers, would be the first to de
ny that he is the leader of a school, but
such he is, considered as having pushed
the new convention to the extreme. lie
denies the necessity of teaching a lesson
which is the theatrical ideal, and he pro
duces only tableaux—nothing but tableaux.
It is true in “Cleopatra” he makes these
scenes with all the talent that a man com
mands—yet they are scenes merely, and
nothing will remain of them. There was
little to excite enthusiasm in Tuesday
night’s performance except when in the
text one caught the echo of the great
Elizabethan or saw on the stage a picture
which he had described in immortal verse.
The genera! impression seemed to be that
there was considerable Shakespere mixed
np with Sardou in this new r “Cleopatra.”
and that the clever Frenchman was the
tinsel of the combination. The drama is
formulated in six tableaux which Jshow us
what the scene painters (who have never
been there) imagine Egypt and the Nile
to be. Cleopatra appears in every tableau,
and the story of her love for Antony the ,
dramatist insists upon as being real, if
stormy. Her character, indeed, is much
less complicated than the sorceress of the
Nile as Shakespeare paints her. As to |
Miss Davenport’s conception of the role,
it is wholly modern. She moves and talks
with the bustle and incoherency that have
been noted in most of her performances,
and it, is hardly likely that Cleopatra will
long remain associated with her name.
Nevertheless, she makes a briiiant picture
and seems a fitting part of the gorgeous
background, the whole entertainment af
fording a triumph for the stage carpenter
and property man.
