CHRISTMAS MUSIC
FROM NEW PIPE ORGAN
First Baptist Church Antici
pates That Pleasure.
The Christmas music at the First
Baptist Church will be furnished so
far as the instrumental portion of
it is concerned, from the magnificent
pipe organ recently ordered from the
Estey Company, the famous pipe or
gan manufacturers of Brattleboro,
Mass. .
Word has been reecived that the or
gan will be in Americus for installa
tion on or before December 20. It
is believed that it will be in readi
ness for Christmas music and that
the first recital upon it may be in
the nature of the joyous music that
marks the anniversary of Christ’s
birth.
The organ will be one of the finest
in this section of the State. It will
cost $2,500. In all there will be about
750 pipes. In every respect the instru
ment is to be one of the finest qual
ity and there is no doubt but that it
will be a decided addition to the
instruments now in Americus and add
materially to the attractiveness of
the musical portion of the services at
the First church.
The installation of the new pipe
organ will be one of the events that
indicate the progressive spirit of the
church under the pastorate of Rev.
O. P. Gilbert.

WAR TALK BY
NEW YORK SUN
Fever Spreading In Army
and Navy
NE W YORK, October 17.—(Spec
ial) —The Sun this morning prints a
first page, double-leaded story from
Washington on the subject of war.
The war fever, it says, is spreading
through the personnel of the army
and navy, the idea that war with Ja
pan is coming being firmly fixed in
the minds of some of those having
superior means of obtaining infor
mation as to the government’s atti
tude.
Preparationsfor hostile emergen
ciesinthePacific are occupying the
time and attention of the military and
naval authorities to such extent, ac
cording to the Sun, that all other
w r ork has been suspended in some
branches of the two services.
It was to be in readiness , it is
held, that President Roosevelt ordered
the fleet to the Pacific.
Japanese spies are said to be in
the Philippines and the Japanese are
drilling armies in Japan.
SMALL BOY IS CAUGHT
AT DOOR Os SAFE
But Escapes By Giving An
other's Name.
While sitting at the front of his
store on Cotton avenue yesterday af
ternoon Mr. W. J. Webb, the grocer,
heard someone working at his safe
and rushing to the rear of the store,
he found a young lad at the safe
door. Collaring the youngster, who
had entered by the back door, Mr.
Webb demanded his name, not know
ing him. The lad, fully up to date,
gave a fictitious name, that of ano
ther'boy here, about his size. At
this Mr. Webb released his youthful
prisoner and telephoned his father,
as he supposed, relying upon t,he
name given by the young culprit. The
supposed father came post haste to
the Webb store, accompanied by the
accused son. Upon seeing the boy
whose name had been given him Mr.
Webb stated that he was not the one
caught at the safe door and the par
ent, much relieved, left with the in
nocent lad who had thus been cruelly
wronged by the other boy. In the
mean time the police are looking for
the young fellow who thus workqd a
smooth game upon Grocer Webb and
got away.

HEINZ & CO’S FAILURE
DUE TO COPPER SLUMP
Copper King Resigns Dank
Presidency.
NEW YORK, October 17. (Spec
ial) —Otto Heinz & Co., si -:k brok
ers, announced their suspension to
day on account of financial troubles
growing out of the rapid decline of
United Copper. F. Augustus Heinz,
the - copper king, resigned the presi
dency of the Mercantile Bank, fol
lowing the suspension. The place
has been offered to W. B. Ridgely,
comptroller of the currency.
The failure of Gross & Kleeburgon
yesterday was due to the inability of
Heinz &. Co., to take up their share
of stock recently purchased to boost
the market. The sharp break of the
past two days swept away all hope
of retrieving values, and the latter
firm went to the wall, to be followed
by Heinz & Co., today.
