DIED AT MONTEZUMA.
AT THE TTIEATER.
The Very Sad Death of a Hrlght Young
Attorney.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Sim Glaze
received a telegram from Montezuma
announcing the death, at 1 o'clock, of Mr.
B. H. Wilkinson, formerly of this place,
after an illness of a month's duration
with typhoid fever.
The remains will be sent to Maddox
Crossing to-day, and at 3 o'clock the
funeral will take place at Benevolonce
church, five miles from Amerlcus.
Mr. Wilkinson was a young man of
many line qualities and practiced law in
Amerlcus some years before his removal
to Montezuma, which took place about
two years ago. He was held in high es
teem by those who knew him, and his
character and life were without blemish
He was unmarried, but leaves several
brothers to mourn his loss.
It Is possible that Rev. Mr. Johnstone
of the Methodist church of this city will
conduct the funeral services.
A Distinguished Visitor.
Dr. R. S. Rust, vice-president of tho
•Jnlon Central Life Insurance Company
of Cincinnati is in the city, accompanied
by Mr. T. S. Lowry, manager of the
company for this department. These
gentlemen are here for the purpose of
looking into values of realty with a view
to bringing the money of this sterling
company into this state and section to
develop the resources. Mr. J. J. Unites-
ley has secured the general agency for
the Union Central and for him a pros
perous business is beyond peradven-
tnre.
The Chattahoochee Bridge.
Reports from the Chattahoochee
bridge state that It is virtually finished,
and that to-day or to-morrow the first
engine will cross the river over the new
structure. The road will be completed
entirely and the link welded that is to
bind Montgomery and Amerlcus to
gether within tho next few weeks, and
the day the first train goes through will
be a big one for Amerlcus and the Sam
road.

The Funny Fares Comedy "Keep It Dark'
Last Nlxht.
The second attraction of the season,
“Keep It Dark,” drew a good audience
at Glover's Opera House last night.
The farce is full of fun and keeps the
audience in a fit of laughter all the way
through. The situations are excruciat
ingly comical, the songs and dances
good and the company first-class. Alto
gether, It Is a good show.
Mr. Bryant, as Vaseline, Is great and
with Miss Richmond, as Clementine,
caught the audience from the beginning.
Mr. Bryant, Miss Richmond and Little
Alice ought to be accorded a warm wel
come anywhere.
The support is very good.
The only disagreeable feature about
the night's entertainment was furnished
by a portion of the audience; some peo
ple will come in late.
It had been promised that the curtain
would rise at 8 o'clock sharp, but this
was not the case. Possibly if the rale
was strictly adhered to the late-comers
would make an effort to be on time.
ABOUND AND ABOUT.
The case of Ortb Stein, America's
champion all-around criminal, is excit
ing a lot of interest in Georgia and the
state press is teeming with a lot of maud
lin sentiment about him. The Atlanta
Constitution has taken the lead in the
matter, and Is endeavoring to arouse the
sympathies of the public in behalf of
this slick artist, and Frank L. Stanton
has even written a poem entitled “Hunt
ed Down,” which, evidently Is dedicated
to the man of many aliases, although
that fact is cot stated.
s • *
Good men and women have let their
compassion get the best of their com
mon sense and arc endeavoring to
smooth the way for the early release of
this gllb-tongued criminal, who, accord
ing to his own statement, “burnt all the
bridges behind him” years ago and has
led a life of crime ever since. Of course,
now that he is locked up, he is very pen
itent, and would lead a very different
life if ho was a free man; all of which
brings up that old saw;
'The Dovll was sick; the Dee it a monk
would be—
The Devil was well, hut devil a monk was
Stein has had opportunity after op
portunity to become a different man, but
he has proven incorrigible. What bet
ter opportunity could he have wished
for than he had after escaping tho gal
lows for tho murder of Fredericks? If
he had any good In him bo would have
shown it then. .
• • •
But he’s a tliok artlstl He knows
how to t>l»y upon the human heart and
his gift of gab has enabled'him, with the
aid of the Constitution, to build up a
mandlin sentiment in his behalf. He is
not a novice In crime, by any means; on
the other hand he Is an educated criminal
who has been schooled in nearly every
branch of crime from murder, up and
down.
s a a
However, ho Is an educated man of
the world and what’s moro a good news
paper man and he knows oxactly how to
reach the hearts of tho great and Inno
cent publio, despite his criminal carocr.
He has succeed in bis efforts—more’s the
pity—and the heart of tho readers of tho
press, In Georgia, are bleeding for the
“poor bunted penitent, who only wants
one more chance." Bah!
as*
Instead of wasting their sympathies
on such a professional criminal, why
don't the good men and women of Geor
gia give their attention to some of the
poor fel|ows who are now serving sen
tences in the state penitentiary for com
mitting only one crime ? Isn't it pos
•iblo that there aro young men In state’s
prison, to-day, who would mend their
future lives far more effectually and
permanently thou would Stein, If they
bad the opportunity ?
Take young Danforth, who slow the
man who bad the audacity to make him
a vile proposition about his sister. That
was Danfoi^li's first crime, if it can be
called a crime, and it Is certain that he
would lead a peaceful, Industrious life
if be were again in the home circle that
was so rudely broken. IVhy don't somo
of these good people interest themselves
In him and froe his limbs from the clank
tng chains that he wears for his sitter’s
honor?
* s s
There are Georgians in the peniten
tiary who neet all tho sympathy Geor
gians can give r.nd there’s not much use
In wasting It on Stein alias numerous
other namos.
* * *
But then—this Is a funny world!

Cotton was a little lower yesterday.
The Catholic church is rapidly nearing
completion.
There were only two cases tried in
police court yesterday.
The cotton receipt* at the warehouses
were 400 bales yesterday.
The work of numbering the houses in
Amerlcus is being pushed rapidly.
Cotton roceipts were light yesterday,
and the visitors' list was a short one.
There is some talk of organizing a
gun club in Amerlcus at an early date.
Yesterday was one of the dullest day’s
Amerlcus has experienced in a long
time.
The real cstatu men are smiling again
—the market ha« begun to resume ac
tivity.
Merchants are complaining greatly
about tho scarcity of small change in
Amerlcus.
Amerlcus has more graceful eques
triennes than any city of its size in Geor
gia and the ladies ride “early and often.”
Warehousemen expect a great deal of
cotton to-day and to-morrow, as the
weather has been so favorable to picking
all the week.
The song of the saw and the sound of
the hammer are heard in the land, and
improvements are tho order of the day
in Amerlcus.
Said a stranger yesterday: “There is
less drunkenness seen on the streets of
Amerlcus than in any other town of its
sizo in the stale.”
Loranna Williams, the nurse who stole
Mrs. Johnson’s jewels, was tried before
Judge Pilsbury yesterday morning, but
sentence was reserved.
Tho Windsor attracts the attention of
every stranger coming into Americus,
and, If it could do so, tho handsome
building would blush often at the com
pliments paid It.
