elon and the chief, and the purpose of
»he commltteo being to make su<* pur-
oltiu.es of supplies, etc., as are needed
by that department. The committee

meiteis In comiectlou with the police
department of the city, utnl bog to ro-
port that they ham performed their
duty and pressat the fallowing report:
“The committee heard atatrmunta
from the chief ot police, tho chairman
of the police commission and the lieu
tenants of the force, as well aa others
not connected with the force, and tram
these statements the committee Is of
to* opinion that there can be no quee-
tic . as to the non-enttorcenacnt ot the

fs oku convhieed that this non-enforce

sion or misconstruction of duty no the

the committee reveals thle fact, ami on

that ths laws have not been enforced

enforce those laws as well as (ham of

"The cause for a failure of a mors

Tiro causes appear o be most promi

“An utter absence of a proper under

committees having appropriations for

“A fatlune of the law to provide ade

To the Editor of tho Telegraph:
Your correspondent from this plncehas
several times recently misrepresented
the conduct of (he young men and
bey* of Gordon Institute, the reference
of them tn today’s Telegraph doing
(hem gross Injustice.
to no sohool In Georgia is better dis
cipline maitotelncd and no where will
you find a more honorable or exem
plary set of young mon. Besides con
ducting themselves with gentlemanly
deportment, (here exists among them
n Young Men's Christian Association,
(o Which nearly all belong, and to
wldcih nearly all take sc active nnd
oonwritent part. The general conduct
of the student* the present term has
been gratifying to tho faculty and
citizens of Bamesville. and statements
to (he Ootftrary are likely to resutt to
serious Injustice to Gordon Institute,

A Splendid Performance In Store for To
morrow Night.
The performance of the New York Cel-
ebrkJes that will be given at 8tolnwa?
Hall tomorrow night promisee to be one
of the greatest musical treats Macon has
ever had, as the company Is composed of
only such people aa have already won
reputations.
The Record of Wllkesbarre Pa., says
of the company:
“One of the musical treats of the season
and one which will stand out prominently
for many seasonn to come, was the con
cert in Lho Y M C. A. auditorium laat
evening by the New York Celeorlttcs.
Every number was rendered In most ex
cellent style. Miss Van Cortlandt Is a
soprano of m&rvolous voice. Her tones
are as sweet as a bird's, and yet power
ful from the highest to the lowest note.
Mr. Towns baritone was also a wonderrul
surprise to tho audience, and many who
have heard the most noted vocallsta say

Apoplexy.

Cherry, died at her home on Pine street
at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon of apo
plexy.
Mrs. Cherry’s death was sudden. She
had not been In very good health for some
time, but nothing serious was thought
of her condition by her family and
friends.
Few women were blessed with more or
warmer friends than Mrs. Cherry, and her
death has given grief to many hearts.
She was a woman who believed in doing
good. Her heart was full of charity of
the kind that adds to tho material wel
fare of those who have been favored by
her bounty, and many needy people will
miss her more than will ever be known.
Mr*. Cherry was a good Christian women
and was tor many years a consistent
member ot the Baptist church. She was
the daugter of Mr. Alexander Harmon,
who was for a long number of years
sexton of Rose H1U and Oak Ridge cem
eteries and who died in 18J3. She was
born to Monroe county and would have
been Co years of age In a few days. In
1866 she was married to Mr. it. D. Cherry,
who survives her, togeter with three
children. Mrs. G. W. Vomer of Warren-
ton, M. Alex Cherry of Griffin and Miss
Ida Cherry.
The funeral will take place from the
home at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
