Foar Sanitary Imptclon and a Clerk of
the Market Home to Be Sleeted®
Standing Contmllfaes of Coun
cil to Be Appointed,
A gro-.it dell of Interest now centres
on the election of commissioners on
next Tuesday night, not only among
toe employe.) of the city and among
toe various commissions, but among
toe people generally.
Tire chunter provides for a vaouncy
on each of the commissions each year.
Th{* IS the first year during Which
too seve n! brandies of the city gov
ernment have bean administered by
commlmkais, and ovnueduenty rh<- char
ier rays which ones shall go out ot
office. These will be: From the police
commission, T. C. Hendrix; from the
fire commission, T. C. Burke; from
the public works commission, w. Lee
Ellis, who succeeded Mr. Virgil Pow
ers, demised. Tho bond commission
wi.ih created bafore toe new charter
was framed ,and Is consequently not
on the same footing as too other com
missions. The chanter Hays toltt no
commissioner shall be eligible to rc-
elccUon until after toe expiration of
■three years. The first commissioners
are noimed hi toe cl tarter, cud us It
toys "toey,* mrtinlng the commission
ers name,I, -‘shall not be eligible to
re-election," etc.. It Iib claimed by Mr.
11111b' friends that he will be eligible
to succeed Mmaelf us .he succeeded
Mr. Powera and Is not: one of the com
missioners Included tn the word "toey"
in 'too charter.
Who will;be ejected to toe other, va;
cundos on the commissions it Is bard
to tell. Ex-Aldermlun Collins Is praml-
nenCy spoken of ns a o-indWat-. for
fire comimlasloner to succeed Mr.
Burke, and exHAIdermon Dinkier la
spoken of as a candidate fbr police
cummlsslooier 'to succeed Mr. Hendrix.
Mr. W .It. Cox Is also spoken of is a
successor to Mr. .Hendrix. It is not
positively known to Wife public, how
ever, whether the gentCemen arc cun-
d’idUtes or whether thciir namrei are
simply 'being used 'by 'their friend!),
and, besides, It Is 'highly probable that
there will be other oandldutoa.
Fir the other ofilces to ne filled on
Tuosdliy night, which are the four
rninPtory Inspcotorshlps and thodnspee-
terwhtp of the market house, the only
ramdMates so Tar as known Tor tho
InspectorHhlps are toe present Incum
bents, and for .the mturket house clerk
ship Mr. W. T. Oaintel, the prew-nt
ineuntbent, and Mr. H. P. Westoott.
It Is needless fo eay, however, tout
-there will be a 'host ot other applicants
for alt of toe positions.
Hite mayor's message, which he Is
now busily cng.tsed In preparing, may
contain more than one sensation. Ill
fact, tt may be confidently expected to
open toe eyes of some people with
"‘under and rcivwil some things not
known to toe general public. The mes-
Sjige will. In all probability, be read
by council on next Tuesday olght, nnd
If the 'treasurer can got his report in
readiness by thci't time, it will certainty
he read toon.
Mayor Horne Just now bar his IiU,nd*
full. In 'jddIHon to the preparaiilon of
Ills message he is also making up his
committees, which may be announced
before Tuesday night. The tosk of
making up'toe committees ts tv haul
one nnd Involves considerable amount
of thought as well as Judgment, but
toe mayor 1s e-quin to too disk, and
the or pan Ren-'ll of his committers
will be made with a special'.' view to
each man's fitness for his position on
Buch committees.
TRAMPS GALORE.
MU8. DUFFY DEAD.
She Wus a Daughter of too Lite Jacob
Russell.
Mrs. Catherine Duffy, wife of r. J.
Duffy, died at her home, 8K1 Elm street,
yesterday ufternoon at l:tt o clock after
a long Illness,
Mrs. Duffy was tho daughter ot the
late Jacob Russell, once an alderman ot
this city, and of Mrs. Russell, who is
now living In Florida. She was also sis
ter to Mrs. Louts Vnnuccl,- Mrs. J. H.
Ott o nnd Mrs. Matt Taylor.
Mrs. Duffy was a woman of many no
ble trails of character and leaves a largo
number of friends to mourn her death.
Sho loaves tour children, two hoys nnd
two Birin, who will greatly miss her lov
ing cure and direction.
Tho nrrnngemonts for Mrs. Duffy's fu-
neral have not yet been perfected, con
sequently the hour cannot be announced
until tomorrow. 1-ut tho present Intention
Is to havo tho funeral some time tomor
row.
The City and Suburbs Literally Over
run with tic Ftotlve Hobos.
In the oplnloo of the police a larger
mid more worthless crop of tramps haa
bef-n raised this season than ever be
fore, and every one of them seems to
have caught the Southern Immigra
tion fever, and ' followed the star of
empire, which Is rapidly moving South
ward.
For a month past the city has been
infested with an uniwually larg.- num
ber of about an flue specimens of the
genus "hobo" as this great republic
eara produce. Where they have been
during the summer Is not known, and
It is doubtful if anyone cares, not even
the tramps themselves, but they seem
to have conie from everywhere In gen
eral. and nowhere In particular. So far,
however, they have committed few
depredations In the city, but from all
accounts henhouses, ptiitrien und hat
racks in the suburbs have yielded them
a bountiful harvest and made them
fat and well’clothed. Some residence.)
in the city where there are no police
have been raided, but few things of
value have be;n sullen, the "hobos
seemingly being content with “pan-
Iwuadllng'' a “fullness" of cold victuals.
When asked what lie is doing in this
section of country 999 tramps out of
every 1,000 will say ho is on his way to
Florida to pick oranges, but as the
Florl'At crop is estimated at only
4,500,000 boxes title year, there would
only he about one box to each traimp.
even If all the resident ptekers stood
hands off and let the tramps have It
mil to'elr own way.
Some people pity the podr tramp be
cause he walks so much, but if they
only knew that the average citizen
doch four times as much walking a.) the
average tramp, they. would not be so
generous with their sympathy, as no
greater Insult can be given a pjgfes-
slonsl tramp than to ;tsk him it he
walked to town. Not so long as freight
train,) run will a tramp walk, and as
freight trains must rim tramps will
continue to ride—sometimes on the
bumpers, sometimes ou top of cars, and
sometimes locked on the Inside of cars,
It Is true, but they ride all tlie same,
und the train crew that attempts to
keep them off will have little time to
leak after toe running of tho train.
Macon has always been a kind of
tramps' paradise, on account of defect
ive vagrant Saws, and toe tramps know
this as well as toe most learned lawyer
hi toe city. Many of them apply at
the police station for a night'® lodging,
and If toe sergeant on duty thinks
they are worthy ot shelter, they are
Kiven the privilege of sleeping on the
lioor by 4he stove in the city prison—of
this privilege they are never slow to
avail themselves. Macon lias triwaya
treated the tramps kindly, and the
tramps, with comparatively few ex
ceptions, have treated Mucmi nicely,
everything being considered.

OFFICIAL NOTICE
OF TUB
WORLD’S FAIR AWARD
Dr. Price’s
Cream Baking Powder.
John Boyd Thacher, Chairman of the
Executive Committee on Awards at the’ Col
umbian Exposition, writing from Washington,
D. C., to tne Price Baking Powder Company,
says:
“/ herocith enclose you an official copy of your
award, which in due time, will be inscribed in the
Diploma, and forwarded to your address, unless other•
wise indicated ly you."
Thus are the honors awarded
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
at the World’s Fair fully verified.
On the other hand the claims to awards
at the Fair by a New York Baking Powder
are proven wholly false. Official records
show it was not even an exhibitor. Was
U because it contained Ammonia ?

The Horae Knew®
“Tho other day,” says a man, “Ibought
an applo on the street, and after taking a
bite discovered that I did not want it. A
horso attached to a truck stood at tho curb
at tho moment, and in passing I tossed
tho applo to him. Ho was only able to
seize it sideways and get a small bite, tho
most of tho fruit dropping in tho gutter at
his foot. His driver, standing not far from
his bead, noticed this, and stooping picked
up tho apple, lie held it up on n level
with tho horso’s eyes, so that ho could seo
it fully, and then lowering it criod^penl’
Instantly tho horso stretched his jaws
wide apart, deploying a cavern of a throat,
and the driver skillfully shot tlio apple in,
tho horso catching it between Ids teeth and
proceeding to munch contentedly. Tlio lit
tle incident was chiefly significant beenuso
it showed a thoroughly good understand
ing between tho man and tho animal,
which, in theso days, when a Society For
tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
necessary, seems worth noting.**—Now

A Misstatement.
Mrs. Splfilns had answored tho doorbell
of her suburban rcsldonco In person. Tlicro
was a man at tho threshold who politely
touched tho brim of a hat of tho vintage
of 1893 and began:
“Madam, I represent’*—
Ho did not proceed. Mrs. Splfilns had
recognized him Instantly, and sho inter
rupted his romarks:
‘•No, you don’t represent! Youmlsrepro-

resented that somo seed you sold mo woro
those of a celebrated floworlng shrub from
China, whoso blossoms would give mo joy

Racing Railway Trains.
Tho “brldgo junction” is a point ahovo
Salt 8fc. Louis where tho Wabash, Big
Four and Alton roads strlko tho tormlnnl
tracks. From tho junction to tho'relay
dopot all trains of tho throo roads run on
tho samo track, and ns tho roads named
run parallel and closo together for several
miles north oxciting races somotlmos oc
cur, ns two or moro trains occasionally ap
proach tho junction nt about tho samo
tlmo. Tho early morning incoming trains
Dn each road nro scheduled to arrive at tho
junction within n few minutes of each
other. It often happens that two of thorn
pass tho Merchants’ brldgo closo together,
nnd then there is a race to tho junction,
as tho first; ono to reach it gets tho track
to the relay dopot. It is said that tho
rivalry between tho engineers sometimes
prompts thorn to put on a full bond of
stonm nnd carry their trains along nt tho
rato of 70 miles an hour. Very few ncol-
donts occur at *tho junction, hut it is
claimed that nearly all that do happen aro
caused by the racing of trains.—St. Louis

Lomon juice will whiten it, tho grated

Bob Roy, tlio Philanthropist.
During moro than 40 years John Mac
Gregor (Rob Roy) was a groat exemplar of
tho host sort of philanthropy. Thoro was
somo narrowress, perhaps bigotry, in his
religious creed, hut nono whatever in his
practloo. Ho was a man of considerable
attainments in literature, science, art and
muslo. Above all, ho was a born adven
turer, as his voyages In his “Rob Roy”
canoo testify, and all tho profits that ho
ohtalnod from his books and lectures woro
handed over to tho charities—charltios of
tho beet sort—In which ho was interested.
By lecturing alone he earned and thus
applied £10,000, and having set himself to
collect that sum ho persevered in the work
during several years, and after his health
had begun to fail, until tho total hod boon
roached. Dying in 1893, at the ago of 67,
ho left a record of steady heroism and of
real service to his fellow men which Is al
most unique.—Academy.
Of Coarse They Da
“I wonder,” said the sentimental board-
eress, “If the little birds make any plans
for their homes in tho spring.”
“Of courso they do,” said tho cheerful
idiot “Don’t they havo to make a nest
to mate?”
