THE TELEGRAPH REPRESENTED
In the I*er« on of Its Special South Macon
Corrr.pnntlent, Who tin. Something
file. to. S*y of All Who Took
Port In tho Programme.
A comfortably filled hall greeted the
young ladies and gentlemen of the- South
Macon Baptist church and their friends
who had volunteered their efforts In mak
ing up the grand entertainment offered
on Thursday evening at the Stelnway
hall the eminent success that resulted as
a rewardfor patient and persistent ef
fort.
Repeated rehearsals under the Instruc
tions of Mr. H. Barney had brought that
perfection seen In every number of the
programme. A grand vocal and Instru
mental number, comprising twenty-four
voices, opened tho evening, "The Opening
Bong,’’ which was followed by tho recita
tions "Preying for Shoes” and "Dora’s
Soliloquy,” pleasantly spoken by Mias
Lucy Nichols and Miss Janlo Solomon.
In the tableau "TJie Bridal” tho anxiouB
nnd anticipating audience never antici
pated how completely they had been de-
reived until the withdrawal of the cur
tain presented to view pendent from the
gas Jet that Indispensable portion of horse
paraphernalia, a bridle. In tho "Sailor’s
Song,” action and tableau, the rising cur
tain presented to view a group In sailors'
costume, with oars. The movements of
this body were very graceful and the
accompanying song was excellent The
ladles and gentlemen of the group were
Misses Cattle Young, Ola Langston. Pearl
Armstrong. Ogene Adamson. Lucy Grif
fin, Minnie Treadwell; Messrs. George
Whittaker. Guy Armstrong,- Llnsrood
Bright Ed Wilder, James Etheridge.
"Brought Back," a recitation by Miss Ola
Courseu, was beautifully rendered. It
was followed by the song “Sweet Sum
mer's Passed Away" by the quartette—
soprano, Miss Callle' Young; alto. Miss
Lena Etheridge; tenor. J. • W. Nichols:
bass, George Whittaker. In the next
number, for any disappointment felt at
the ending of the bridle scene In the
early evening, they were amply compen
sated by witnessing in “Paying the Par
son, or the Bag of Beans," n •"■"•itiful
marriage scene cn tableau, supplemented
by a recitation by Miss Susie Nichols re
lating how the parson was paid with
beans. The brtdo was represented by Miss
Oullle Young, and a lovely bride made
she. Mr. Guy Armstrong was the groom,
the knot being tied by Mr. W. It. Kelly.
"Sunday Fishing" was a most amusing
piru-t .1 by Mr. Kd Wll-b-r, lh<- old
negro fisherman who was warned of his
awful fate by the old preacher, who. when
the fishing came to the point of excite
ment by the hooking of an enormous vic
tim, couti net resist bis feelings. The
minister and other characters were taken
by John Fermlntet, Ltnwood Bright and
James Etheridge. "Rouse Brothers,
Rouse,” a song by twelve male and the
same number of female voices was next
on the programme, followed by the beau
tiful scarf drill participated In by seven
young ladles In varl-colered dresses and
scarfs. The movements were beautiful
and In accord' with the musical notes.
The voting ladles engaged In this feature
were Misses Lena Etheridge, Eva Smith,
Cattle Young,Ola -angeton, Minnie yread-
well. Annie Wyche »nd Pearl Aimstrong.
"At thettlake," a tableau, proved to be a
steak cut from a choice quarter of beef,
and afforded much amusement. Uncle
and Rastus." by Ed Wilder and Ed Avant
also afforded a fund of merrtir.ent,though
bordering on tbe pathetic* ,
The hoop drill, a beautiful part ot the
evening's entertainment was next pre
sented and was engaged In by the young
ladles here mentioned: Misses Oenle Math
ews, Eva Smith. Collie Young. Ad-
anion, Lena Etheridge, Annie
Katte Lou Hall, Lucy Griffin. Minnie
Treadwou. OU Langston, Penri Arm
strong. Their beautiful Orecla» eo«tnag
of white, trimmed witb igold tlnseh w re
Biown in all . their.
several movements • and oatldns of the
drill and tent added grandeur to the'
which was contemputed wlth apt at
tention by the admiring fidlence to the
last footfall motion of tbo hoop.
"The Price of a Drink” woe the
of a recitation by ' JRes CalUe Yeung
which next claimed the undlrided^atten
t;on of tlw e^lence. «f be fotowrt by a
entitled "Where Is My Wandering Boy
Toijtsht?” And strikingly graphic wus
the Illustration (presented in both song
and. tableau. Miss Minnie Treadwell, Guy
Armstrong, John Perminter, James Eth
eridge were the characters.
“A Rumpus In a Shoe Shop," a dialogue,
represented the discontent and disquie
tude engendered In a happy family by
the sal&sn acquisition of riches. Tho two
character 5 }, the heads of the family, were
creditably borne by Miss Annie and Mr.
John Wythe.
"Nobody’s Child," the next number on
tho programme, was listened to with
great attention os recited by Miss Minnie
Treadwell.
It was left to Messrs. R. W. Freeman,
John Wyche and Ed Wilder to elevate
the audience to the supreme height of
humor and unrestrained mirth as the
wiles of the maneuvering widow in "Wid
ow’s Victims ' were opened to their view
by the amateur artists of the mimio
stage; bolt to be returned to soberness by
listening to the recitation of Miss Ola
Coasort, "Aunt Rhoda’s Dream," in which
she relates her experience In the several
religious denominations both in this world
and, through the dream, in the better
land.
The dialogue, "Aunt Angelina Constan-
tina Whrfberlotter," was the concluding
number, in this portion of the entertain,
ment the characters in the representation
were borne by Miss Minnie Treadwell,
Miss Annie.Wyche, Mr. John Wyche and
Mr. R. Freeman. It was listened to with
showers of laughter as the ludicrous
scenes were presented to view.
But the good lad.'es, promoters of this
beautiful exhibition, had reserved the best
for the last, and as the moment drew nigh
for the Jisplay of the grand Anal tableau,
"The Sculptor’s Studio," a thrill of in
patient expectancy permeated the au
dience, which increased to murmurs of
delightful satisfaction as at the with
drawal of the curtain the lovely picture
was .presented to view. On the right a
representation of a figure engaged In feed
ing her birds, taken by Miss Genie Math
ews. Next Id this "Grandmother’s
Prayer" was represented by Miss Annie
Wyche, and kneeling by her were Misses
Susie and Lucy Nichols. "Revenge" was
illustrated by a draft’n dagger presented
at the form ot Miss Lucy Griffin by Miss
Ogene Adamson. Ib$)r€sentations were
also presented allegorically »n the picture
by Misses Ola Langston and Cable Young.
A beautiful picture was shown in the
active work of the sculptor by Mr. H.
Barney stand I ng by thi 3 Me of T.10 fast
revealing statuo from the .'nanimate mar
ble to representations of life. This beau,
tttul piece of work was represented by

-Nation the same subject, intemperance.
Miss Eva Smith.
Redoubled lustre end beauty was added
to the picture by the light thrown on it
and long was it gazed on In rapt admira
tion.
The good ladles are rejoiced over their
public venture and in this connection the
committee, Mrs. McDuffie, Mr. and Mrs.
Nichols and others take tills opportunity
to publicly thank the members of the
South Macon Jolly Club for their valuable
aid in this great success and to the many
other young ladles and gentlemen who
also rendered willing assistance, to whom
they are under many obligations and thus
render their thanks. And to Mr. ,H*all
Barney who» in season and out, was ever
present with his Invaluable aid and In
structions in the various drills and con
necting movements pertaining to them.
The heartfelt thanks of the committee
and all participants arc greatly due him
and are gratefully offered. During the
evening Miss Ola Ccason was pleased to
favor the audience with the rendition of
the amusing recitation "Counting
Eggs."
The South Macon Jolly Club will meet
next Thursday evening instead of Friday
as heretofore. 'Hereafter the meetings
will be held on Thursday evening..

AFTER THE STEEL TRUST.
A Rival Organizatirv with Big Capital
Has Been Formed. *
Pittaburg. Oct 6.—'Powerful competi
tion to the steel rail trust to coming
from th# Mahoning Va«ey. At Young#*
town, O.. an ifafomm steel plant has
been erected by the Ohla Steel Compa
ny at a coat of Sl.500,000. In January
next It will be placed In operattlon day
ami night with a carefully selected
orew of experienced workinen.
The plant will have a capacity of 1,000
tone of steel rails per day, and by
rcanon of the many modern improve
ments employed. It will do the wo.it at
a great caving in cost over present
mebtods. The new development threat
ens destruction <t the oolofesal pool that
now virtually controls steel rail and
billet production in the United States,
and It seems certain that steel vails
will b3 cheaper in a few monhs than
ever before in America.

A Fruit Girl Who D»cam« tho Wife of aa
Ohio Legislator. u#
An Interesting and romantic bit of truth
can be told concerning the oarly lifo of the.
wife of one of Ohio’s indst gifted legisla
tors. Twenty years ago In a small Ohio
town nestled among tho hills ot tho Hock
ing valloy lived a littlo girl of 8 years, with
black eyes, short, curly hair, dear brunette
skin nnd known by tho appropriate name,
Gypsy. Tho men who wero commercial
travelers in thoso days who were frequent
ly along tho road will remember Gypsy as
sho swung herself on tbo car steps ns the
train pulled in, with a blue coat and cap
and a largo basket of fruit and confec
tionery .on her arm. She would pass from
coach to coach, disposing of her wares.
She rodo to and from the depot in the
great bus or on passing drays and would
make frequent sales on route. Gypsy was
a general favorito both with tho citizens
on the train and with tho traveling public.
Tho little girl was tho main support of the
family, as both tho fathor and brother
were nddioted to drink. At tho ago of 14
Gypsy realized sho could not well continue
tho work sho bad so long and successfully
ongagod in. The operators and depot em
ployees wore greatly interested irf. the
child, and a generous, well to do, eldorly
man tendered her aa a loan a sum suffi
cient to meet necessary expenses while she
studied tolography. Tho offer was accept
ed. Later sho wont to Cofuinbus and ac
cepted a position as operator, and it was
hero tho legislator mot her, admired, wooed
and won her. Her husband was elected to
a second term as roprosontatlvo ond*proved
an aotlvo, valuablo membor of tho house.
His wife was always admired and loved.
She was always brrght nnd vivaoious. Her
many friends were gratified that her lines
should have fallen In such pleasant places,
ns sho so justly deserved they should.—
Columbus Journal.
The Circumference of a Glrole.
One of the most fascinating studies ot
tho old mathematicians was whnt is known
as tbe valuo of "pi’’—pi, tho Greek Jotter,
expressing tho relation of the circumfer
ence ot a circle to its diameter. _
If the value of pi could bo found exactly,
the old problom 'ot "squaring tho circle"
might be solved—that is, the side of a
square having precisely tho area of a given
clrclo might be found. But tho valuo of
pi, whloh is given in tho arithmetics ap
proximately as 8.14160 can never be as
certained oxaotly.
The calculation has been carried to 600
decimal places without coming to any
sorlcs of repeating decimals. Mathema
ticians have now, by means of their mod
em methods of analysis, demonstrated
that tho calculation might bo oxtendod
forever without coming to an exact result.
It Is not generally known that there are
two numbors of three digits each whose
ratio comes surprisingly noar that of the
diameter and circuinforonce of the circle.
They are 118 nnd 366. They are to each
other as ono to 3.1416021) plus, whereas tho
value of pi is 8.1416926 plus. Tho differ-
enco is so small that It would amount to
only 67 miles In tho orbit of tho earth.
Or, measured hy tho tlmo it would tako
the earth to traverso tho distanoe, it is an
error of only three seconds in a year.-

fiaUd Dressing,
Mrs. Rout uses cocoanut water In
novel way in a salad dressing, for which
sho claims "an unrivaled flavor:" Cut
tho nice, tender and white parts of celery
as for any salad and put thorn in a bowl.
Grcto a coconnut and pour over it a pint
of boiling water. Let it stand until the
water Is cool; then with your band squeozo
tho cocoanut in the water. Then press the
pulp out nml throw It away. Strain the
milky water through cheesecloth and let
it stand until cold and a cream rises on
top. Just beforo sending your celery to
tho tablo scatter over it a tablespoonful of
grated onion and a trifle of a fresh red
pepper or a dash of cayenne and a half
teaspoonful of salt. Ffcim the cream from
tho top of the cocoanut milk nnd put over
the celery; then add 2 tablcspoonfuls of
lemon Julec.—Now York Times.
Enough,
A pretty schoolmistress told a rather
amusing story, Bho asked one of her
classes to put the nouns "boys," "bees'
and "bears" Into a sentence. The scholars
thought intently for a few moments, when
ono ragged youngster, with a look of vic
tory on hlsfacc, raised his hand. "Well,
Johnny," »ald the schoolteacher, "what
is your sentence!" "Boys bees bare when
they go In swlmmtn." Tho teacher did
not call on any more of her class.—Bos
