TOtTNO MISSlONAIUm
SEND THEM IN TO-DAY.
All Contributions for the Poor Should
Be Sent to the City Hall Be*
fore 0 O’clock.
MUCH WILL BE NEEDED.
The Poor We Hare With V* Altraye, sad
They Halt B# Provided Kor-Ut
Kvctjbodjr air# Somelhiag
and GIr# Liberally.
According to the Chriatlan »plrlt it la
more blessed to give than to receive, but
whether you expect to receive anything
this Christinas or not, you should con*
tribute something to the poor today and
give It early.
It is true that most people get up feel
ing III and cross on Monday morning,
but this la Christmas tlmo and everybody
shouCd bo in a good humor, and 'there is
nothing In this world more conducive to
good humor than a knowledge that you
have done your duty, and It la every
body's duty to help tho poor. If you don’t
keep a store send cosh or an order for
groceries, coal, clothing or smethlng else
that will do the poor some good. Other
people besides storekeepers are expected
to contribute, and It Is going to take a
big pile of provisions to go around.
Just think of It! Over MO people in Ma
con nsedlng help, without food, without
clothing sufficient to keep them warm
and without everything else that goes
to help muke people comfortable. Who
Is it that Is able tsl will not contribute?
It is not believed that there is one man
or woman In Macon who is able who will
hot help some. Hut It must bo given to
day, and you must not wait for some one
to come around and ask you, for no one
will beg you to give. If you don't give
freely not even the suffering poor want
your contribution, fiend it up to the city
hall today and help swell the fund nnd
go homo tonight with a clear conscience.
Tell your wife and children what you
have done and they will think more of
you and help to make you have a merry
Chrlstnvis.
Everybody who Intends to give should
send their contributions to the city hail
today so that the committee in charge
of arrangements will know how to pro
ceed about th# distribution tomorrow.
Let the Telegraph bo able to publish a
long list of contributions tomorrow and
show tho World what gonerous Macon Is
doing for tho poor within her gates. There
aro comparatively few peoplo In Macon
who. cannot give something, and every
little will t>o thankfully received.
Children of First Street Church Believe
It la More Blessed to Give Than to Re
ceive.
The Juvenile Missionary Society of First
Street Methodist church gave an enter
tainment at the church Inst night which
waa decidedly unique In Its character.
It bus been tho custom of the Sunday
school of this church to have a Christmas
tree each year, on which was n Christ
mas present for each child. This year,
howrver. they decided that Instead of a
Christinas tree they would have an enter
tainment and instead of receiving <i pres
ent each eh Mil would scud one for the In
dian children in the Indlm Territory.
Among the offerlmm were many toys
contributed by the chllden to ho sent to
their little IndlAn sisters and brother* In
tho Indian Territory. Some of tho little
fellows parted with their playthings at a
great sacrifice. Ono little girl In parting
with he doll, remarked: "It was a right
young doM; only 3 weeks old." indicating,
perhaps, that it waa too young yet to go
such a long distance and fall into tho
hands of savages, and alio shed purling
tears of sorrow at tho voparatlon. but
coustivlnlng love triumphed. A truo mls-
slonnry lndi «*d was she. n* well us many
of the rest who gave their toys cheerfully,

lie Agree# With Recorder Freeman on
the Sidewalk Question.
The Telegraph published yesterday a
report of the proceedings of the trial of
a merchant for putting a box on the
ctrect, nnd also published a letter from
Recorder Freeman to Mayor Horn# stat
ing his action in dismissing the case.
Tho following letter, received by Judge
Fireman yesterday, will show ghat .May
or Home not only agrees with the r.*
corder. but Is determined that merchants
shall be allowed tho privilege of putting
boxes ond wares on the sidewalk during
the holidays:

WUl you heed the warn log—the sig

that more terrible disease, consumtlon?
Ask yourself if you can afford, for the
sake of saving 50 cents, ruu the risk
and do nothing for it. We know from
experience that Shiloh's Cure win cure
your cough- It never falls. This ex
plains why more than s million bottles
were sold the past year, it relieve#
croup and whooping cough at once.
Mothers, do not be without it FN»

Immediately following tho holidays tho
final preparatioris for receiving and
tertalning the Baptist ministers who will
attend the preachers* school will com
ma/id the time and attention of the uni
versity officials. This school opens on
the 9th of January, and from present in
dications the attendance will be decided,
ly large and representative of every sec
tion of the state. The school is designed
to help those ministers who have^aiready
flnlohed college and are on their fields
of labor. This In the flrsl year this has
been done at Mercer, but the experiment
has toeea tried at other universities and
has proven a decided success. ,
Opening on tho 9th of January, the
school and lectures will continue for two
months. Tho lectures will bo given in
the chapel building and will bo by the
moat prominent Baptist divines, not only
of Georgia, but the entire country, North
and South. The school will be under tho
general management and direction of the
president of the university, who will bo
assisted by Drs. O. C. Pope, YV. A. Nel
son, A. B. Campbell, A. B. Vaughn, Hen
ry McDonald, J. O. Gibson, L T. ichenor,
H. It. Bernard and B. D. Ragsdale. The
subjects treated will be: *
t The Bible and how to study it.
2. The doctrines of tho Bible.
3. Soul winning.
4. The cohstlutlon and culture of
churches.
5. Preparation and delivery of sermons.
The teaching will bo by lectures, using
the Bible as a text book, with references
to standard works. Time will be given to
questions on difficult matters. AH tech
nicalities will be avoided. The effort will
be to treat every subject in the plainest
possible way. Professor Murray will help
such as desire it with their qreck New
Testament. There will bo no fie for en
trance.
The churches should release their pas
tors and help them to come. Many can
upend tho five days of the lectures In
Macon and run out to tholr chbrches for
Saturday and Sunday. Tho work will be
largely In tho nature of applied theology.
"Pastors who arc In tho ruL" ns Dr.
GanTbroll puts It, "or tired anti anxious
to bring Into their work every clement
of success qro expected to come. Teach
ers attend special courses, an dao do peo
ple In other calling^."
This Is nn effort to help those who can
not go away to the theological semina
ries, and through them help the churches.
Every worker in it generously gives his
labor without money and without price..
Nearly every mall brings lotters from
pastors asking that their names he en
tered and announcing their determination
to attend these lectures, and it is esti
mated that there will bo fully 100 who will
enjoy ho privileges of this special course.

WHY THE GIRLS LAUGH AT HIM.
A Bridegroom Strikes a Match and Sets
Ills Trousers on Fire.
Detroit, Dec. 23.-A11 the girls in’ Hud-
sonville have been trying to catch Adrian
Von der Slouls for a long time. Today
they are all laughing at him.
A fair maid of Jamestown, Ottawa
county, won him, and they were married
laat night. After tlie blushing bride had
received the congratulations of her
friends, she. leaning on the bridegroom's
arm, led the way to supper. The bridal
cake was a beautiful thing, covered with
a thick layer of soft sugar and chocolate
The cake had been too tempting for the
bride's little sister. She had helped her
self to a quarter section of It, but. being
unable to eat It before the wedding c«
pany went to supper, had hidden it un
the table on a chair. That was the chair
on which Adrian Van de Slouls sat. and
Adrian Van der Slouls wore fine lavender
trousers. He did not know that the cake
lurked there.
When he arose from the wedding feast
and led tho way out of the room the
guests began to laugh. The bride, a wo
man of nerve and quick perception, hur
ried Adrian and his lavender trousers into
another room. Then with a sponge ahe
applied gasoline where It would do the
most good, and soon all evidences #>f the
chocolate were removed.
Then the happy couple returned to their
guests, but Adrian was ill at ease. Bash
ful at best, he waa damp with perspira
tion and gasoline. He felt he must *>
something to distract attention from him-
self. So be passed around a box of fine
cigars. All th# men took one and lighted
them.
Then Adrian Van der Slouls took one.
As Windy Negotiations Over America's
Cup Contest as Over Prlzo rights.
There Is much resemblance between tho
negotiations for a great yacht race and
Jhose for a great prlzo fight. In both cases
tho principals do
nn i m m o n b o
amount of talking
before thoy do any
sailing or fight
ing. They scheme
for weeks endeav
oring to secure
tho advantage In
tho arrangements
for the contests,
belioving In tho
old adage that a
match well made
Is half wen. Lord
Dunrnvon, tho
JAMES D. SMITJI. p 1 u c k y Irish
sportsman who camo dangerously near
winning tho America's cup lost season,
seems to possess but. ono ambition, and
that Is to return to England with tho cup
tho Ynnkeo yacht America won from an
entire ileet of British boats away back in
1851. Ho has already expended a vast
amount of tlmo and money without grati
fying his ambition, and ho is again nego
tiating for a race for tho famous old tro
phy.
Tho American ond of tho business is be
ing looked after by tho America’s Cup com
mittee, and tho cup is in the possession of
tho New York Yacht club. The chairman
of this committee Is James D. Smith of
Now York and Stamford, Conn. He Is
an ex-comraodoro of tho club and has long
been a prominent yachtsman. It is the
general opinion of the publlo that there \i
altogether too muoh rod tape about the ar
rangements of these international con
tests for tho cup.
Tho original document conveying the
custody of tho oupto the Now York Yacb)
club was of the simplest and clearest
form'. It stipulated that tho challenger
must bo over 80 nnd under BOO tons raw
ing, that six months’ notice bo given, and
that .the terms bo mado by mutual cczn
sent. It concluded with tho agreement
that "upon tho terms laid down abov# ,%
the trophy should "forever" be perpetuat
ed aa a challenge cup for friendly compe
tition between foreign countries. Th#
minutes of the New York Yacht club show
a resolution passed 1c July. 1857, accept
ing the full terms of trusteeship as laid
down in this agreement.
Since then the deed of gift hat been
changed several rimes, and the tlmpin
matter of ananging a race between two
yachts has developed into formidable dip
lomatlo negotiations that would give th#
nresidenva cabinet nervous prostration.
It Is sincerely to be hoped that spoitsrffan-
ship will triumph over red tape, and that
Dunraven's third Valkyrie will com#
after the old sup in 1895.
