FACTS COHCERHIHG KAMA'S BRAACH Jhs Directors Will Heed Some Money Csrry the Aiiocletlos Znecetsfniljr Over the Coming Year and Will Appeal to Citizeni for It. In view of the unusual Interest at taching nt this time to the work of the Young Men's Christian Association of Macon and of the work), It Is Inter esting to note the magnitude of this work, which began llfty years ago last June in Ixmdon. with one man, George (Wiliams, now the head of the Im mense establishment In which he was then n clerk, of Hitchcock, Williams 4 Co. From one man It Was grown until to- • Hay these organisations are (Irmly es tablished in almost every country on the globe. The following figures, cull ed from Itbe reports for the past year, give some idea of the vnatness of this work: There ore 6,861 Young Men's Christ- I4n Associations in the world today, and 1,431 In AmeHcn These 1.431 h'avs an aggregate membership of 250,001) young men. They have 33,000 young men serving on committees, and In t/hls Way being trained to do Christian Work. They own $10,252,815 In build ings and libraries. They paid last year for current expenses $2,250,240. They have 1,150 men at work aa gen eral seeretariro and physical direct ors 1n charge of these association*. THE MACON ASSOCIATION. It has a membership of 215 young men. It hah 27 young men working on committees. During the past year it has held 52 Gospel meetings, intended by 1,6*0 young men, nn average of 30 at each meeting. An average of 75 young men per day visit Its rooms nnd enjoy Its privileges, or a total at 37,176 for the year. The 56 sessions of the Itlble class had a total attendance of 400, nn average of 8 at each session. Nine thousand young men, or 25 per day. enjoyed It* reading room. Ten thousand, nine hundred nnd fif ty young men, or 30 per day. used lte department of physical culture. But figures can never tell the whole story ot the actual good accomplished, nf the wrecked lives It Ties led Into nafe harbor, of the wounded and »ln- elck hearts ft Was succored, ot the Sheltering arms thrown around thou sands of young men. shielding them from the temptations to which otherwise they would have fallen an easy prey, of tho lives and hearts and homes that have been made better nml brighter because of tho work of this right hand of the church; this brother hood which ta tho combined- forco of the young manhood of all tile churches at work for tholr fellow young men. , This is * work In which Macon Ims taken a deep Interest, and Justly so, for It Is onr thing tho city could not do without. Tho directors will risk the cltlsrns of Muoon for $2,000 to carry on this work for tha coming year, nnd It ought to be promptly and willingly given. TMb, with the Increase from mem bership, will Insure the success of the work for 189*. ■WHOSE DUTY 7 X Maimed Dog Allowed to Remiln In , , 'the Streets Four Day*. For four consecutive days a poor lit tle halt starved, badly crippled dog, was permitted to He In tho street park on Third street, near the Exchange bank, and but for the kindly actions of a few cltlscns It would have been permitted to atarve to death. The dog was lying near the coping thnt bordere tho crossing from tho Ex- rhnngo bank to Harris' atorc. In full view of every paiecr-by. Its piteous whines excited much sympathy nnd several cltlsrna brought It food. Every body who saw tho dog wondered why It was permitted to lie there and It was reported to several policemen. The policemen said thsy had nothing to do with the caao and the cltlscns who wanted the dog killed, or at least re moved, not knowing who to nppenl to, finally gave It out anil contented them selves with abusing the entire city gov ernment for permitting a poor starving nnd Buffering animal to lie conspicu ously on the most public street In the dly for four day*, Hutylreda and even thousands of people saw the dog and their pity was aroused In Us behalf, but they found no way to have It re moved or put out of tts misery. Thero seems to be no protection for dumb animals In this enlightened city. latte yesterday afternoon Chief Hut- Her had the dog removed. - Where It the dog catcher? Oh. where Is oomebody to protect dumb animals. TWO EXCELLENT ATTRACTIONS. “A Railroad Ticket" and Hanlon's Fantasma, two Excellent Shows, Here This Week. One of the most successful farce- oomedles of the season-Is "A Railroad Ticket," which comes to the Academy of Music Monday night. Undoubtedly the chief reason for Its pronounced suet cess Is that It le filled with fun. From start to finish tho food for laughter Is dealt out with a lavish hand. What Is more, the unflagging humor ie new and springe spontaneously from everyday happenings and experiences. In con structing "A Railroad Ticket" the.au thor has left the beaten path of farce- comedy far to one aide. He entirely es chews the ancient gags and devices. No siphon bottles or crashing crockery enter Into this theme of diversion. The superabundance of humor crowding every scene Is good, original and Irre sistible. In the line of legitimate com edy the laughable situations are worked up. Of the beet and most fetch ing kind Is the music. A mechanical adjunct i* an etoclrlc car. fully equipped, well Ailed with passengers and In rapid motion, nnd a rain-mak ing machine in operation. The company presenting the piece this season Is sold to .be an excellent one and Includes Eugene Canfield, James II. Kmdboury. Gus C. Wein berg, Harry Porter, Frank Gardiner, John B. Terry, Kathel Kerr. Beatrice Norman, Hattie Waters, Bailie Stem- blcr, Mattie Lockett, Hulda Halvers and Lou ltlce. "A Railroad Ticket" la said to bo one of the best farce-comedies playing through the Mouth this season. If you want to laugh and drive dull care away go to see Freeman's fun-makers In "A Railroad Ticket.’ HANLON'S FANTASMA COMING. An attraction that Is always sure of drawing large and enthusiastic audi ences Is Hanlon's Brothers' Fantasma. This attraction usually charges an ad vance price, but this time Manager Horne prevailed upon them to charge regular prices and that the Academy of Music would be filled for once this season. Fantasma comes to the Acad emy on next Thursday for one perform ance only. Ther can be no doubt thnt the Amerl- ran public like to be amused In a way that does not require any very deep thought on their part. Fantasma easily fills the hill, which no doubt accounts for Its continued popularity. It Is es sentially a play depending on Its wealth of beautiful and dazzling scen ery. Us magnificent costuming and the variety and Ingenuity of the mechan ical contrivance* with which the per- formanmee abounds. Quite a number of novelties have been added since Fantasma waa last given at this the atre, and It Is promised by the man agement that nothing will be left un done to render tho present engagement a banner one, both as to attendance and aa to the excellence of the en tertainment. It Is claimed that the company Is su perior to any that has yet appeared In the spectacle. George H. Adame, the wel-known and favorite clown, Is still a prominent member of the organiza tion. The part of Fantasma will no doubt bo well taken care of by Mize Nottle Black, while specialties will be given by tho McDonough Brothree, Miss Badle Stephens, mezzo-soprano, and othera.

The evidence closed on Friday night Just before ad journment. The case whs given to the Jury yeetenlsy afternoon. They were locked up until a late hour, and it wss feared that n mistrial would result, or that the Jury ouuld not agree for a long time, but at shout 8 o'clock last night, they left the room, presumably with a sealed verdict.

The courtroom will not be used again until the heaters are ready for use. A force of hands will he put to wor kthis week night and duy, In order to finish up tho job us early as possible. Messrs. Bubers & Son so noti fied the county commissioners yester day. Quito an important question in con nection with the hot water heaters in tho county Courthouse was being dis cussed yesterday. The clerk's office Is said to bo fire-proof. The question Is, will the cutting through the cement between the floors of the office destroy tho protection against fire? This ques tion was nsked Chairman Davis of the board of commissioners by a Telegraph reporieh lest night. Ho replied that the only danger appeared to be in the fact that the piping might not .be os fire proof ns the cement, hut the contractors oro to leate the office in as good con dition as when they found it. That is, they must cement around the piping so that Ilia only way tiro could reach up through the flooring would be to go through tile pipe. THROUGH THE CITY. CARRIAGES, wagons and buggies.

She Hnx Returned to Georgia, and Will Probably Make Macon Her Home. Mrs. Annie Abbott, who Is known the world over as the "Georgia Magnet," has returned to the city, and wilt prob ably mako this her home in future, al though she has not made up her mind to quit traveling. Mrs. Abbott is one of the best adver tised women In America, and the for eign papers have contained many col umns about her, together rylth mag nificent Illustrations. Some of tbe ad vertising the little magnet has received, however, was not of the kind she de sired and. In fact, she says It has done her great injustice. The articles she complains of first appeared in the New York World and ,wero afterwards co pied all over the country. They were of a sensational character, and placed the little woman In a very embarrass ing predicament. Mrs. Abbott says that when the ar ticles first appeared In the World she was In Canada, but as soon as they were brought to her attention she came back to the states at once, and brand ed them as false. Later she Instituted suit for libel against the JVorld for 350.- 000, and has secured a verdict In the lower court. She saya ehe also Insti tuted suit against the Englishman who Instigated the charges and has secured a verdict for $10,000 In the lower court. She has not yet decided on what course she will pursue with other papers that have yc-publlshed the sensational sto ries that appeared In the World, some of which were credited and some para phrased and published as original sto ries. Mrs. Abbott denies that there Is any truth In any of these reports. In regard to the stories written by Nellie Blye and published In the World, Mrs. Abbott says she has no complaint o* they proved the best advertisements she ever had. These stories were to the effect that Mrs. Abbott's mani fests were not accomplished through any electrical power as alleged, but that anybody could accomplish them with a little practice. These state ments In the face of testimonials from leading physicians and other prominent peoble, both In this country and Eu rope, left the public undecided and they crowded to see her to ascertain for themselves. Mrs. Abbott may give a performance in Macon within the next week or two. Since her last performance In Macon she has discovered that she can accom plish n great many things that she did not know of then, and should she de cide to give a performance she would, no doubt, be greeted by a large audi ence. THE LIST GROWS. Nearly Eight Hundred HnS Registered' nt the Close Last Night. When the registration books closed last night nearly 800 people had regis tered, the number being 770 at 7 o'olock and a number are known 'Do have reg istered after that hour. The Impression that has prevailed that the negroes are flocking to the registrars' office to qualify by taking the oath ts all a mistake, as the rec ords show that the percentage of pe- groes Is very email. When tho polls opened yesterday morning the regis tration by Wards was as follows: Ward. White. Colored. Total.

One of these was a well known young man who stands well in the community. The young man Is an ar dent supporter of the Good Govern ment Club ticket. There Is talk of u. special meeting of oounoll Monday to take some action on the refusal of the registrars to per mit people to take the oath, as both tho Good Govermnnt and the Citi zens’ ticket, supporters believe that since eminent attorneys on both sides have agreed 'that everyone has the privilege of taking the okth that they should be permitted to do so.
