LESSEH’S BEE HIITE, 559 Cherry Street,
ALL MOST FARE ALIKE.
Recorder Freeman Does Not Believe
in Granting Special Privileges
to a Few.
SOME UNPLEASANT REMARKS.
Chief balner and Mr, Eugene Harris
Have a Few Words in the Recorder^
Court-All About a Box on
the Sidewalk*
Should any one citizen enjoy priv
ileges not extended to others? was vir
tually an issue before Recorder Free
man yesterday morning, and in conse
quence & few unpleasant remarks
passed between Chief of Police Butner
and Mr. Eugene Harris.
The oldest citizen of Maooun cannnrt
run his memory back to the time when
merchants to a greater or lees extent
have not kept boxes, barrels, tables,
chicken coops and orJhcr things both
on the in and outsEde of the sidewalk
the year round, and uit Christmas time
almost fill the sidewalks with their
wares, notwithstanding that there has
.been for several years am. ordinance
against such things. At the last three
meetings of council a number of mer
chants have asked for permission to
display their wares on tho sidewalks,
and in each instance the permission
has been granted. Mr. Eugene Harris
did. not get'permission to put boxes or
goods on the sidewalk but, sselng that
othera had done so, he put out a box.
For tills he was summoned before the
recorder, and as he refused to take In
the box he was again summoned be
fore the recorder yesterday morning.
At court Mr. Hands woe calCcd up on
two charges, and offered as his excuse
for violating the ordinance that others
were allowed to put boxes on the side
walk. This brought forth a reply from
Chief Butner, and a few words passed
between them. Reborder Freeman dis
missed both charges against Mr. Har
ris and intimation! that he would dis
miss al others brought up on the same
charge during the holidays.
After oourc had adjourned the re
corder served Mayor Horne with the
following notice of his action;
Hon.'H. Horae, Mayor of City of Ma
con—Dear Sir; I desire to call your at
tention to a case heard before me tills
morning for the violation of sections
269 and 270 of the city code. At the
moating of council Dec. 4, 11 and 18,
permission* was given to some of the
business Anns of tha city to violate
this ordinance for the purpose of dis
playing their "goods la front Of their
respective places of busdneas "during
the holidays." Numerous merchants of
(the city, presumably upon this grant,
have taken the privilege given by coun
cil to this merchants who did apply,
without making any formal applica
tion themselves. One of these defend
ants who did not make formal applica
tion was today . arraigned as above
m i ted, and, after hearing the case, I
d^ided it was not the intention of
council to withhold from, any merchant
the privlleg'e granted to others in- this
respect, and, so long as there was no
obstruction that would 1 Impede the free
passage of pedestrians on the sidewalk,
any merchant who desired could avail
himself of ihe pi^lvili-ge granted to
Others, and for the samis ’terms amd
conditions, to-wit: "For the dispjay of
goods during the holidays." I am de*
dtfedly In sympathy with the mer
chants in any honest efforts to Increase
th:ir trade, especially during tb? finan
cial depression th.it is upon us, and I
think that all reasonable concessions
should be made to them for the holi
days. at least. The chief of police In
forms me that he has Instructions to
prevent their display unless the parties
have special permission from council.
And, with a view to relieving him
from censure in the matter, I request
that your honor wilP, If ueces^iry, call
\ special m?etlng of council and make
tine grant general Instead of a few. I
also desire fa cull your attention to the
fa-ct that a strict construction of throe
ordinances would remove all box and
standing signs on the curb or the
sid walks, and that these sign4 have
been allowed without let or hindrance
for years, r.otwithstundlng the ordi
nance cigalrwt It. If it Ls the intention
of council to strictly enforce these ordi
nances I again, on behalf of th* mer
chants, ask thut this strictness shall
not operate until after the holidays.
The display of goods by :h - merchants
on the sidewalks in front of their places
of business has be-n a custom univer
sally indulged in on suoh occa«d*JC.s,
tvithin my personal knowledge, for the
post thirty years. Very respectfully,
MATT R. FREEMAN, Recorder.
To a Telegraph reporter who ask^d
him atooKt the at«e. Recorder Freeman
said thatne could positively state that
boxes and' wares hhd been placed on
sidewalks for the piet thirty years,
awl that While he believed in enforcing
th«» ordinances, he did not believe In
allowing some people privileges that
were riot uHowrd Others and conse
quently" he would dismiss every oa«e
of the kind brought before him during
the holidays.
Chief Butner is reported t» have
«Wd that ho had orders to make ca*»:-s
acain*-t th< — »!i«> p’.r. obstructions on
the sidewalks who did not have permls-
mlsslon to do so, and that the Intendtd
to carry out his instructions.
Further developments arc expected,
and if cases are made against all who
have boxes and wares oil the side
walks without special permission a ma
jority of the retail dealers of the city
will be before the recorder.

thtehled to A. Ullman’a milk rwagon ran
awlay at the market yesterdlay, and
!n addition to demolishing the waigon

pieces. No one tiq hurt, but considera
ble excitement prevailed at the time.
tt>ATE CANCELLED. — Mantuger
Horne df the ’A'cadeftny of Music has
received a 'telegra. from Gen. John B.
Gordon, in which he states Thalt he will
not toe able to lecture here on Friday
evening •,as hha been announced. The
Gordon, lecture had been anticipated
with much pleasure, and many wall be
disappointed at Qvea'ring of his determi
nation not ito visit Macon this week.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.—A negro wo
man i.living Just toeyond Vfnevilie re
ported to Officer Mack yesterday that
two negro boys had attempted to out-
riitge her young daughter. As the crime
wUs.committed outside the city Officer
Mack could take no action liv the mat
ter, tout advised .the woman to have
warrants issued for the urreet of the
boys. The woman said she would, urnd
when last seen was hunting a Justice
of the peace.
A . ROUGH -ROAD—Considerable
complaint is heard concerning Wash
ington tvven-ue since hhe sewor pi pit
wtis laid 'along that thoroughfare. The
roadway 4s full of ruts, holes and
ridges, and 4'f a periston riding over it
•don't have his terth Loosened ihe is in
deed fortunate. Some olf the little
m/umls In the street look right pretty,
but they make lb very, uncomfortable
for people rldilng.
THE BROWNIE TREE.—The
Brownie tree at the residence of Mr.
OaimpbeCi T. King Friday afternoon
was a highly enpoyable affair for the
little ones, who were mode happy by
good -things Santa Claus brought
them. Over $50 wtl® realized for itho
hospital linen. Many lovely brownies
are stMl unsoCd, but th-e College street
circle of King’s Daughters have placed
Ithem for sale at half price at John R.
EWis’ wnd C. T. King’s.
'PYTHIAN CASTLE.—It ds saM bhbt
preparations are being made to resume
-the work on the (Pythian oasMe on
Mulberry street, the foundation of
which was Dat'd some time ago. The
plans for 'the building show that It
wMl to’a one of the prettiest, if not the
prettiest, in the city when completed,
and the members of the order ore anx
ious that Uhe work should recommence
as earty as possible. Much of 'the ma
terial to 'be used in the construction of
the building has been purchased and
some of It is on the ground.
AN OYSTER SUFFER.—When po
ke squad -No. 1, under command of
Lieut. Games, oaime .in from their
beats Friday night 'they were informed
by the lieutenant tohat <they mus re
main until the last man had come in
and reported. The police did not know
wftia't to think of the new order, and
•while -no oomplj-imt was made it was
very evident that come of the men did
not exactly relish It, ai» they bad been
accustomed to hanging up their club
and hurrying off home. Finally, how
ever, the fast man came In from the
outside beats, and about the name time
Caterer KnoKoch entered with one
of the finest oyster suppers of the sea
son and i*?on hud dt spread out 4n <3hc
most tempting manner. Lieut. Carnes
then invited 'tihe men Ito purtuke of the
supper as his treivt In celebration of
h!a first anniversary with the force.
It is needless to say ttoiat a man who
.ban walked a beat for twelve hours
bis an appetite, and lihe oysters re
ceived fun Justice. It was a -pleasant
occasion amid one that convinced the
members of squad No. l that tlheir lieu
tenant Upipreohvted their f lSthful ser
vices during the past year, and no
lieutenant ever more fuMy enjoyed the
esteem of his men than does Lieut.
CXuroes,

It h'as been difficult to arrange a plan
for deciding the contest which •would be

It would surprise almost anyone to see
the answers piled up 4m the advertlsinu
department. It would almost seem that,
settra member of every iDouisehold in Ma
con contested for the Telegrupto’s prizes.
Surely the Tetograph’s “cheap col

HERALDRY IN AMERICA.
An Important Treatise on a Subject of
Much Interest.
One of the flmoriant putolkations of
the holiday season w the handsome vol
ume upon "Henaldry iu America,'’ by
Eugene Zelbor, i«:med by Lite heraldry
dopurtjrwnt of -the Bafley, Bxrrk« & Bid
dle Company. It is a splendid quanto
of oev r 400 pages, profusely illustrated
with colored plait**, SOdh&niQB arvi en
gravings, many hundreds of out*#
of arm*, seals and heraldic deviceescat-
ten°d through the well prlot«Al ftext. Mr.
Zeiber d->es not agree wttii tlrjwe who

In this oQUtftry 1a unreatrmabk*, even
though suoh dvto es hav no offhlal r(Xr

“that arms were borne here during co*
lonial thnea creates of them AmegicuO

theUl use toy descendants of th»j old fam
ines." But it iu desirable, if arme are
to be used, whether as personal ilevlcw*
or In architectural or otiu-r adornne-nt.
that they »1vjriU1 be u<ed kvtelHgeiitly
nnd corre.tly, and to tlifs end Mr. Zci-
toer ham pr N pxred the present w'ork.
It opens wl«h a ger»:ral wUacement of
the orjgun arid •dcvelbpmem't olf heraldry,
with examples of iits> appMcarion in the
artu, foliasvod toy a deLu'led <leaoriiptlon
of u. 'large number of fajmflly arms
borne in tihie country fram ajvi early pe
riod, or preserved upoai* exiHtiiryg menu*
menti?, with s>nw remarks upon' the
misappropriation of arms, tihe ubcj und
misuse of <the meet, nnd a summary of
llio daws whidh sihould govern heraldry
in 'America. Theo^ chuplena are fol
lowed toy a number wf iumsUratlvo ex-
amp'.es of the arms of PdrnnBylvanla
families. Mr. eiber tlhen irttsees to 'the
conaldcni'tlon of Ameritean flags, seals
and coins, studying in detail itlvd seal of
•the United S.iates and those of the dc-
partmenits, und I'liw seals of 'the several
states, thcee lattwr furnishing a partic
ularly inteietstlng ehaptar of History.
Next comes a chapter on ecoleSlwtatleal
se.iils, with the ems of the arms of near
ly all the American dloooses and the
devices iof 'dhc tolahops; the seals of sev
eral American cities and of various cor
porations and socDetles, iududiilg wpe-
clnlly tho cotonilail and mdlitury ordefs.
After this dlscrlptlve nnd historic mat
ter, Mr. Zleber proceeds to a technical
exposition of the dealls of heraldry, des
cribing with Illustrations the parts of an
achievement, tho points and partitions of
tho shield, tho tinctures and furs, the or
dinaries and their dlmunltlves and com
binations, the varied fields and diaper,
charges, etr, with elaborate and fully il
lustrated rules for blazoning. Scperate
chapters are given also upon crestp,
badges, mottoes and supporters, marks
of cadency, marshaling and many im
portant details and some interesting ex
amples of American book plates, with a
chapter on French and German heraldry,
and finally a very complete and useful
glossary and a comprehensive Index com
plete this admiral work.
Now that the social organization of
tho United States has advanced to a nolnt
at which family history has become a
matter of llgltlmate pride and care, the
interest in armorial bearings as a part
of the family record Is not unnatural,
Mr. Zleber's work will bo helpful alike
ns a guIdQ to thoso who can trace their
descent from armlgerl and no a warning
to thora who cannot. It will bo useful
also thoso who undertake to devise arms
or seals, either for themselves or for
societies and organizations. If we must
have such things, and they cortainly are
useful, It is Just as well to have them
right; nnd since there is a grammar
of heraldry, which is here intelligibly
expounded, there is no more excuse for
ungrammatical blazoning, In public or in
orlvate. than for ungrammatical lan
guage.—Philadelphia Times.
INTRODUCTION OF TEA.
Tho Chinese Herb Unknown in Europe
Until the Sixteenth Century.
There waa no knowledge of tea In
Europe before 1617, when Intercourse be
gan between Portugal and China. It
vvao first actually brought to Europe
in 1010 by Dutch imrckan'to, says
Good Words, and some years later was
introduced into England. In China
there are two words for it—te (pro-
noune.d like -ilio French the) and chav/,
and we formerly u*ed both words.
Them? is a letter from a Mr. Wickham,
lu 1615, asking a friend to procuro him
”a pot of the best sort of chaw," und
in tills friend’s own accounts occur*
Uhe item: "Three silver porringers to
drink cliaw In." Pepya says, on Uie
23th of Septembsr, 1660: “I did send for
a cup of tea (a. China drink), of which
I had never drank before."
Nearly seven years later, however,
he corma Homs oae day nnd finds his
wife making tea, as If it had hccomo
a much more common thing. Neverthe
less, the price was very high. In 4660
Mr. Garway, the first London tea d al-
er, sold it at 1&«. <to 60s. per pound, end
it was valuable enough In 1684 forth©
East India Company to make a pres
ent of two pounds of tea to Catharine,
queen of Charles II. By 1725 tho pries
had fallen to 12s. to 80s. It was kept
up partly toy an import duty of f«. on
tho pound, buv mainly by the enormous
export duty lovled in China. The^e du
ties wero tho great difficulty in the
early trade with the Chinese empire. At
one time an additional 10 per cent, w.i*
added. Tho Canton merchants peti
tioned against this, and in 1736 the
emperor agreed to take it off, but he
said merchants must come to hear this
a : ■<[' gri.M* read on t'h.-ir knees. How
ever, they all met tog( ;her und resolved
"on their honor not to submit u> this
tflavith posture," and the emperor wus
