Tne Republicans About Beady to Drop Tbs Force Bill- Roma’s Publio Build ing. Boms Excellent Shows Are Booksd S'or the Future.—What They Are—Several Changes Made. “Well, how’s the Opera House?” said a Recorder representative to Manager Glover yesterday. "All right, and things are mov ing along nicely. Some changes have been made In future dates, and right here I want to say that we are going to have some excel lent attractions “Show folks say that Amerleua Is the best show town for its size In the South, and hence we get better attractions than any city of our size. The people appreciate good •hows, and, as a rule, turn out well, though occasionally they let a good show go by without seeing It. Theu, too, occasionally we, as well as they, get bit and bock a poor affair, but we have been especially careful, aud I don’t think we will have another that will not please them.” And it does look like those book ed for llie future are good. Some of them have made splendid repu tations, and are known to our peo pie as such, while all those uot known come well reeommeuded. The booking has recently been revised, some booked will not come, aud others have made dates. Hence, their list revised, is pub lished, and you can see for your self that much pleasure Is in store for the theatre goers. The uext play, as already adver tised, Is A1 Field's minstrels, which shows here on the 17lh. It has made quite a .reputation and wtit draw a big house..

Washington, Dei. 18 —The Force bill people are making a des perate effort to effect somp com promises before their dual caucus Monday night. A number of propositions have been talked about. One plan Is to so amend the blit so as to make its application general, without petitions from voters and the elimination of the bayonet clause. To satisfy silver men, the extreme radicals are ready to agree to anything. The best opinions are that the Force bill will be laid aside on Tuesday next. Senator Daniel, from committee on Public Buildiugs .and Grounds, reported Mr. element's bill for a public building at Rome. The ap propriation for the improvement is $50,000. Tills bill is a House measure. J. G. Zaobry, formerly of Atlan ta, aud for some yeaiB a prominent young attorney of the city, will liiove to New York and practice law. It is hinted that Mr. Zachry has nm<le some connection with the West Point Terminal Company people, and has that job In hand. A postoffice has been established in Dodge county, Georgia, called “Jeliue." Peyton W. Bussy Is manager A SLIM ATTENDANCE. SOCIAL STRAYINGS. THE WEEK'S PLEASURES DISHED FOR SUNDAY.

Hpeclul to Rkcoroek. Atlanta, December 13.—The house met this morning at 9 o’clock. There-wasa slim attend ance, owing to the fact that many legislators pull out for home on Friday night Tlie friends of education have not yet deserted the cause and this morning the first thing done was to make an effort to reconsider the action of yesterday in refusing to grant appropriations to branch col leges. Ail sons of plans were worked, but Humphries & Co. held their own and the effort to reconsider miscarried. The matter may or may uot be up again. If It is It will, in all prolpbillty.have to be Is some other shape. The friends of education dislike exceedingly to ser such a blow made at the State institutions, and will use every means to prevent such a thing going Into effect. The tax and appropriation bill both passed the House this morn ing. To-day Governor Nortben signed the bill to increase the number of comQpnlea of the Second Georgia battalion so as to form the Second Georgia regiment. Little else of interest was transacted at to-day’s session. It is generally believed both Houses will be ready for ad journment next Saturday. Th*y Are Lovely. A Recorder representative was given a glimpse at the dressing gowns and veet* to be opened at T. Wheatley’s, Monday, and a hand somer line was never seen by him. For a gentleman no better Christ mas present could be found. He also has a line nf^nll dress vests, which are simply beautiful. ^AIl space will be devoted to their exhibition Monday, and all, es pecially the ladles, are Invited to come and look at them. Attention, Knights of Fythlsrl Regular convention of George F. Cooper Lodge, No. <43, Knights of Pytbtas, will be held Monday night at 7:30 o’clock at Masonlo ball. A full attendance is desired.

Never wss there a more delight ful danos than that of Friday night. And how could It be otherwise? For besides the charming array of Americus’bsautlful daughters, there were present two lovely visitors In honor of whom the dance was given. Miss Annie Lou DeJsrnette, of Atlanta, has been visiting Miss Flora Wheatley for the past two weeks, and was one of the two to whom the occasion was compli mentary. The other was Miss Mary Bones Dougherty, of Augusta, for the week a visitor to Miss Alice Wheatley. Tbesetwo young ladles are .belles of the respective cities whloh are made proud to be known as their homes, and since being here have gathered around them a eirele of ardent admirers, who delight to do them honor, and who are, if sueh a thing be possible, extravagant in their praises of'tbeir fascinations and charms. The German of Friday night was given in tbeir honor, and their presence added much to the happi ness of the occasion. And it wat a happy occaelou. All present united in expressing verbally, aud by sparkling eyes and glorious countenance the joy experienced, aud old Morpheus was Ailed with Jealousy of Telpsichore before the last sweet waltz had been tripped to a finish. Never did the fair mladens look more beautiful or appear to more advantage, and the evening was one where joy reigned supreme. V The Literary club recently re organized, met again Friday night at the residence of Major M. Speer, and the time was most pleasantly spent. , First, business was attended to, the constitution and by-laws were adopted, ana the name deolded upon. This Is “TnE Club." The business part of the program took up only a few minutes, and then those present were treated to styne delightful music and reelta- tions. Tblsolub Is to be, and Is already, a most potent factor In the social pleasure of the city, and its reor ganization Is hailed with delight. V As has been announced through the columns of The BKcobder Mr R. L. Maynard and Miss Susie Sheppatd will be united In the bouda of matrimony next Thurs day. This event was qnlte a sur prise to nearly all the friends of the couple, and congratulations have already been flowing tn. They will leave the day of the marrlege for the home of the groom in Foreytb, where they will spend’ the Christ mas holidays. V About this time'of the year the young gentlemen usually begin to get worried over the matter of Christmas presents. What must be sent to hie best girl? And what must he send to the numerous other young ladles whom he olaims aefriends? The ^question is hard enough to a man of unlimited means, ana to the great majority of yonng men, nearly all or whom work for a salary, It 1* of vital Im portance. He cannot afford to give an ex- penslve present, and yet be wants to and thinks he must get some thing elegant. The ladles, too, are In the same- fix. They have many gentlemen friends who they think expect something, and from whom they, wonld not be surprised to receive a present. The most sensible way ont of this dilemma, and the one usually adopted, 1j the Christmas cards. They show a remembrance of the recipient, aud are all that is ex pected. If a young manor a young .lady baa a number of friends whqm they wish to show are remembered, and are still held as friends, these qards are most applicable. If they have a Mend especially dear, some thing else may bs sent, but ac cording to the latest society canon these are sufficient in all cases but one. ... If, however, something else la de sired, there it now a greater abun dance of handsome and appropriate gifts to choose from than ever be fore. To take a look over the goods displayed by those who deal insnoh goods Is sufficient toconvlnee one of this fact, .after seeing them one esn not bat help wish for an unlim ited pocket book. Jewelry Is lovelier than ever. The lines displayed In the elty are enoh as to allow any one to find an ap propriate gift for anybody. And the tame may be said of other lines of goods. If yon have the amount of lucre necessary you will have no trouble In choosing presents. If yoo haven’t, why, send card*. •** On the line of Christmas pres ents, one of Americas’ most popu- Isr and oharming yonng ladies said yeaterda^: “I just don’t know what to do. I have a great many gentlemen friends, but I don’t know whether to send them remembrances or noil I consider them friends, but If they don’t send me something, say a card, why I don’t think I ought to •end them anything. Then sup pose I were to receive a present of some kind from them late Christ mas dsy. I would feel bsd because I had not sent them aoytblng. So you see I am In a dilemma. I have many whom I call friends, and if they consider me the tame way, I would delight in sending them something. But I don’t know whether they will send me any-, tblug or not, aDd I don’t know what to do.” The right way to cure catarrh is to eradicate the poisonous taint which causes the disease, by taking Hood’e Sarsaparilla.
