THANKS I NTHE CHURCHES.
Special Services Held All Over Macon
Yesterday.
At atl of the churches except the
First Baptist and First Strest Metho
dist special Thanksgiving sendees were
held yesterday.
All of ‘the churches where services
-were held had large congregations, but
the largest congreagtlon of ail was at
Mulberry Street Methodist, where a
special thank offering was also made for
tho poor. The announcement of this
service was made by Dr . Monk on
Sunday last, at which time ho request
ed all of the congreagtlon* to bring
something far tho poor, and the large
pile of provisions, bundles, etc., piled
up around the altar yesterday, to
gether with the sums of money and
orders for coal, wood, clothing and
provisions strongly attested the liberal
response to the request. The sermon
preached by Dr. -Monk was impressive
and appropriate to the occasion. He
spoke -of tow great things are often
made-df small things and gave tne
cities of. Birmingham. and Anniston.
Illustrations, and in telling of
how the land on which each cltv Is
now built onoe belonged to two men
respectively, who sold It for meresones
and afterwards saw what golden on-
E°Fi? nltlfS they had missed In not
bolding ithelr property.
The contributions amounted to sev
eral hundred dollars, andi the amount
of good they jyill do -to the poor Is In
calculable.
At the First Presbyterian church
Rev. w. B. Jennings, tho pastor,
preached o_*peclal Thanksgiving ser
mon to a large congregation. His ser
mon Was deeply Interesting and made
a marked Impression on the congrega
tion. Mr. Jennings paid special stress
to -the many things we have to be
thankful for, and stated why the day
was celebrated.
The special Thanksgiving service at
the Vlneville Methodist church was
conducted by Rev. H. R. Felder, pas
tor of the’ First Street Methodist
church, who was assisted by Rev. IV.
E. Wray and others. Mr. Felder
preached nn able sermon that was
highly appropriate to tho day. and the
large congregation was highly edified.
At the Tattnall Square Baptist
church there were no special Thanks
giving services other than a very
strong sermon by the pastor. Rev. S.
J,. Morris, who had specially prepared
a Sermon for the occasion. Mr. Mor
ris Is tiK,'ays a strong, forcible pulpit
Orator, but his eermon yesterday was
thought by many to be one of his
ablet efforts.

Thors is a pass in the Caucasian moun
tains along whloh runs n troll that no ani
mal can turn on and no two nnlmnls can
pass each othor on. Below tho trail thoro
la a chasm TOO feet deep, and this plsco
within the last few years has come to be
known as “The Jew’s Leap.” Thialsthp
reason:
In tho spring of 1870 a party of Jew,,
ton In numbor, wore on their way with a
pack of heavily laden mules to the Don
country, whero tboy were to attond a fair.
It was over the custom for parties coming
over from tho north to aond a man ahead
on foot to see If tho road was clear, par
ties from Circassia having the right ot
way.
It the road was all right, the man sent
in front fired off a bomb, tlio explosion of
whloh told as It echoed along tho pass that
all was well.
Captain Blatzky, who was going south
with a small escort ot mounted Cossacks,
whclly Ignoring this precaution, said to
his guide;
“Thera aro no soldiers coming this way.
Tho only party wo can meet Is rams Jew
ish poddlors, and If they got In my way I
will hurl them over the cliffs."
There waa nothing left for the Midlers
but to obey, so they rode on, and at length
entored tho pass, Captain Blstsky bring
ing up tho rear.
The sotting sun was pouring his level
rays through tho defllo when tho Russian
reached tho blghost and narrowest point,
and hero they were brought ffee to face
with tho Jewish traders, who, by the cus
tom of tho place, had the right of way,
Whon Captain Blatzky saw tho party
that opposod him, he drew his sword and
iliouted out:
“Curso the dog,I Hurl them aver tho
cliffs and ride on.”
The Jews heard the savage ordor and
held a short consultation. To go back
waa impossible, for all wero loading their
mules, as tho Russians were their horses.
“We have tho rlghtof woy,”ropllod the
foremost Jew, whose only weapon was a
stout staff.
“You have no rights," roared the Rus
sian.
“No rights In the valleys and towns, ”
replied the Jow resolutely, “but up hero,
nearer to God and man to man, wo are
equal.”
“fitoh him over and stop his talking,”
yolled tho officer.
"Try it-and take the consoqucncos,”
was tho spirited rosponso.
Tho guldo leaped forward with drawn
sword, and tho meroliant, a stalwart
young man, ralrcd his staff and stood on
tho dcfonslvo.
After fenelng for a few seconds the
Jow's staff was cut In two, but before his
assailant could strike him with his award
ha leaped forward and caught him In his
arms, and tho two fell over tho cliff and
dashed In a bleeding mass on the rocks
bolow. Tho second Russian sent the
Jew’s burdened mule after hlsmnater and
then stood face to face with another reso
lute man arrnod only with n stout stick.
The Russian losta precious second of time
In trying to draw bis pistol, for the staff
whistlod nbovo bis head, and unoonselons
and never to bo conMlous again he tum
bled Into the depths. Then the Jew sent
the Russian’s horse after him and and
came faoe to face with a second man.
Seeing tho fate of his companion, the
third Russian caught bis opponent in his
arms, Tho struggle was brief and fierce.
The Issue would have been doubtful had
not the Cossaok's horse plunged forward
In Its fright and dashed against the men,
hurling thou and Itself into tho awful
abyss.
Both parties were now wrought up to a
frenzy that blinded them to all considera
tions of life
The Russians were like bloodthirsty
savages who find their slaves rising against
them In revolt.
Tho Jews lost their habitaal prudence
and were stung to a desperate resistance
by the memory of generations of outrage
and rapine.
In the dense sottlementa the Russians
might be masters. Here they were man
to man, with all the advantage of arms
on tbe side of tbe transgressors.
The fourth Jew ploked up a sword that
a Russian had dropped before be went
over and down to death. He was a young
man, unskilled in the uso of such a weap
on, but even If be had been the wall of
rock to tho leftwonld hare balked all
sword ploy.
With tho fury of a tigor ho hurled over
his opponent and sent his homo after him.
Tho Jow had lost a brother, and hla gray
haired father was behind him.
With such n wurcry as never burst from
Jewish lips since tlio Maccabees led Israel
to victory tho young man swept every liv
ing thing from his path until ho came
faco to faco with tho last man, Captain
Blatzky.
The Russian fired bis pistol straight
into the young man’s faoe, making a se
rious but not fatal wound. Certain it Is
It did not stay the Irresistible onset.
The officer’s sword leaped up, bat it
was too late. He felt the wet blade at
bis throat, and tho next Instant he had
Joined the men ho hod so lgnomlnloualy

WHY HE DIDN’T. ~ -
He was a newspaper man and • poet.
Still tho combination worked very well.
Tho only trouble was thot his work rather
knocked tho bloom off theromanooof life.
Ho found it dlffloult to be romantlo after
chasing around after the stern realities,
the tragedies and comedies of this mortal
existence for 16 hours a day, but he man
aged to retain aomothlng of tho dreamer
about him notwithstanding. He lived in
love. Somewhere on this mundane sphore
thoro oxlstcd a woman whom he should
one day meet and love and ba happy with
her forovor after.
Sho was to bo his affinity, his twin
Mul, and they should know It tbe mo
ment their hands touohod. Naturally Ik
waa all rather hazy In his mind as yet, for
ho did not have muoh time for dreaming.
Newspaper work on a lively dally and
dreaming wore not compatible, and aa tbs
dally bread, also olgars, depended upon
the nowspaper tho dreaming was neg
lected.
He had also a rooted opinion that he
should one day commit sulolde. Hs often
said os much to his ohum Jim, who al
ways looked cynical and fell to whistling
softly with a faraway look In hi* eyes.
He would lulk about It quite seriously
and dlsouts tho different methods, but his
preference was for the revolver routo.
When he got tired of living or things
went wrong, he Intended te try It, h»
said, and kopt a revolver handy.
And so one spring day he fell In love.
It was all In ono moment. Ha was at hli
desk writing away like mad when the
door opened, and she camo In—a little,
blue eyed, fair haired, childish thing,
with Cupid's bow lips and a frightened
mannov. Ho looked up Impatiently, and
their oyes met.
They nolther knew afterward what they
•aid, but five minutes later ha waa at bis
dusk, alio wnB gone, and between hi* eye*
and the paper wo* a' fair, ohlldlsh face,
with Cupid's bow lips and bias, frighten
ed eyes.
Bofore two dsyi ho met her on the
street. Their eyes met again, and they
both spoke. Then he walked home with
hor and carried tier schoolbooks, and all
tbe world was suddenly fair and eweet ee
a rose gerdon In June. 8ho understood
bis every word, and he—well, he lived In
a world of bis own. Ho walked In a
dream. Tho real thing—tbe murders,
marriages, dlvora*. even the men and
women he met, seemed a fsreff dream,
and only Daisy and himself reel people.
Ho was In love and for the first time.
Her mother soon bsoam* aware of tbe
state of affairs and deolded Daisy was
muoh too young for love or lovers. Her
father told him ra, and also that be and
Daisy must sec each other no more exoept
as acquaintances. There wee nothing
against him—they ware simply too young.
And so tha was to go to sohool, bat Gor
don could cell to say goodby.
That night he wont to seo her end came
away filled with wonderful schemes for
the future. He was to become rloh end
famous, end when she came book he would
marry her. That -rat his plan, end from
that day he worked aa he had never
dreamed It poeslble that ho could work.
Before he workod because a oertelo amount
of work waa neceesary to keep grim want
at bay, but now he had an objeot for
whloh to work, and he threw hie wholo
soul Into It. It was for Delay, end that
thought kept him going. For two yean
It wee constantly with him. Keoh time
he cat down at hli deak he peeped at tbe
dainty chlldlah faoe In his watch ease and
whispered her name It woe Daisy always
—the alpha and omega, the sum total of
his oxlstanoo.
She was to be home In June, bat went
to visit friends and wrote him that it
would ho the let of July, and her deer
friend, Bessie Thornton, wee to coins
With her.
It woe evening when she would arrive,
snd hn started to the station to meet her.
Instead a telegram met him. Daisy had
been married tbet morning. She was not
oomlng at ell. The lights In t)» streets
danced up and down, and be repeated la
softly, "Daisy married." ’
His hand went mechanically to hie pis
tol pooket. Only one Idea was left In his
stunned brain, and that wee to carryout
his old tlmo morbid fancy and put an ond
to tho existence that he now concluded
waa not worth living.' Ho did not tako
time to arguo tbe proa and oons, but felt
a slight sense of disappointment when he
remembered be had left ble revolver at
tho office. It would not take long to go
for It, he thought dreamily, and glanced
at the telegram In his hand. “Daisy mur-
rlcd," It rmjrt l>e a dream. The train
oame In, the train Daisy was to have come
on.
The moments were like hours, yet he
did not hurry. It was not far to the office.
“Daisy married." One figure on tbs trig
ger, sod then—
There was a touoh on his hand, timid
and soft. He glanced down and for an
Instant did not ace who It wse. Thou he
knew—It was Bessie Thornton, Daley's
friend. There were tears in her ayes, and
ho read pity—and was there something
else)—In her soft brown eyes. Neither
spoke, but neither felt the need of it.
Once again hs was looking Into tbs awak
ening soul of a woman. A sudden light
sprang into her brown eyes. Unconscious,
ly their hands met, and they turned eud
walked together. The lights were golden
globes through the dock, and far overhead
the stare began to poep out. There waa a
subtle softness, a dreary langnor, In the
air as they, hand in hand, went into the
gray dusk of the evening.
