Bit Alto Duhei Off a Few Verses of Pottiy
—ll Now in New York on the Way to
Germany, Where She Will Make
HerCliltna Known.
IWEo Is Mra. Bethels of Georgia?
Inquiry of a number of old residents
last Sight failed to find anyone who
knew her. although several were of the
opinion tha,t there is probably such a
person, asthey had an Indistinct recol
lection of the name.
Whoever Mrs. Beibels might be. she
has. according to an interview in the
How York Commercial of last Friday,
two big fortunes awaiting her in Ger-
jnany or somewhere else. The follow
ing It the Interview:
Stopping at the Copenhagen hotel, on
Rector street, awaiting the sailing of
the steamer which will take her to Ger
many In search of a fortune tomorrow,
la Miss Cornelia I*. Selbels, aged 84
K ears. She halls from Georgia, and is
close relative, she says, of the La-
tnar family.
Miss Selbels is rather cautious in
speaking about her fortune. f ‘“
heiress to two estates,” she said to a
Commercial Advertiser representative
today. "One of them I will say noth
ing about, though I will not tell you
where It Is, but it is not in Germany.
It is worth $20,000,000 and my share
will be nearly a quarter of that sum.
Another in Germany left by a million
aire member of the Selbels family is
worth about $4,000,000, but my share of
it will only be three or four hundred
thousand dollars, and that I am going
to see about first."
In answer to the reporter's question
as to what proof she could offer to
prove her claim to being on heiress to
these fortunes, Miss Selbels said indig
nantly: “Do you think I am going to
Germany without knowing what I am
doing? I have letters from no less
than four governors, eight senators
and one foreign minister to prove who
I am, and that I am entitled to my
share of these estates. I have been
told by some of the smartest men in
the South,” she said, "that I am a very
smart, shrewd woman, and that
would have made a great lawyer."
Miss Selbels, in addition to her other
attainments, is a poetess. “I frequently
dash oft a few verses in the morning
and my friends In the South have hun
dreds of them that they have copied,"
she said. ”1 am going to start on a
history of my life as soon as I secure
my money and get back to tills coun
try.”
To prove her right to rank in the
world of poetry. Miss Selbels dashed
off the following without a pause, and
as fast as lines could be written down:
There was a mind oft thought of thee
In dreams of fondest Joy.
Away that mind—away that thought
'Twill ne'er dream again of thee.
There was an eye whose partial glance
Thy every Inmost thought could know.
Now closed forever is that eye,
'Twill ne'er see the mote.
Miss Selbels dashed off a few more
little efforts uf poetical thought much
in the same strain, und in reply to a
question ns to whether she contempla
ted publishing her poems, with the his
tory of her life, said that she proba
bly would Include a few of her latest
efforts In It.
RECITAL TONIGHT.
Louis Spencer Daniel Will Entertain a
Cultured Audience.
Tonight the spacious parlor at the
residence of Mrs. George Jones In Vlne-
vllle will be thrown open to receive
the music and literary loving people of
Macon and Vinevllle.
The ladles of the Vinevllle Methodist
church having prevailed on Mr. Louis
Spencer Daniel, the popular and tal
ented young Tennessee orator, writer
and actor, to return to Naoon and give
them an evening of wit and humor, a
large select audience will hear him to
night. The seating capacity being lim
ited to about 250, many seats have pre
viously been engaged. The fact that
tho evening 1* under the management
of the Methodist ladles of Vinevllle,
together with the popularity and genl-
ua of the young Tennesseean. Is a
double assurance that the evening will
be one of great pleasure. Wit, hu
mor and music will prevail, and an en
joyable evening is aesured to all who
may be present.
To those who have hag the pleasure
of seeing Kitty Cheatham, Louis Spen
cer Daniel and Bob Taylor. It may
seem a pronounced fact that Tennessee
Is prominent beyond the usual In tal
ent. humor and eloquence. The three
eminent 'talents have received tht
unnalmouB praise of America and Eng
land. Mr. Daniel has already signed
with a prominent bureau of London
to make a recital tour of England.
Scotland, Wales and Ireland next sea
son, and will sail for London in July
next. 'He was raised on a "perpendic
ular farm" In middle Tennessee. Al
the age of 15 he left his home tor New
England against t'he wishes of his pa
rents, and it was by hard and con
tinual struggle that he acquired an ed
ucation to bring any man to the front,
At the age of 21 the young man was
admitted to the practice of law In the
courts of Tennessee. But this was a
mere form, as Daniel never meant to
practice law, as he openly declares
that he was never lazy enough to be
a lawyer of the nineteenth century
type. While in Boston ho was given
the name of the "Tennessee Lad" by
Bishop Brooks on a public occasion.
Having traveled extensively he has
made many friends in all parts of the
country and In England. While In
England he was calted upon to recite
for her majesty, the queen and her
court, and met with such success in
London as merited 'him with a recall
for next season by the London Bureau
at a neat salary.
The people of Macon should not miss
an opportunity of seeing and hearing
the “Tennessee Lad.” The Waverly
Magazine of Boston says of Daniel;
"He is a gentleman by birth, a schol
ar by perseverance and a 'true son of
the South."

Master Mechanic's OIHce Is
Abolished.

That Huter Machinist Harris Is Out-
What the Change Keens to the

That Famous Melodrama Will Be at
the Academy of Music Thursday.
Tom Craven's famous London play,
"The Stowaway.” which will be seen
here Thursday, is one of the most suc
cessful melodramas ever given in this
country. It has remained secure in
popular esteem for half a dozen years,
and still shows no algns of waning pop
ularity. Its success may be attributed
solely to Its unquestionable merit and
to the excellent manner in which it
has always been played and mounted,
it belongs to the good old melodra
matic school, and its stirring scenes
and thrilling situations, all of which
are worked up to exciting climaxes
by the skillful hand of a practical play
wright, never fall to evoke the wildest
applause. The real burglars. Spike
Hennessey and Kid McCoy, arc Inter
esting members of the company, which

MR. SPARKS HAS RETURNED.
Has Nothing to Say in Regard to His
Trip to New York.
Ex-General Manager Sparks of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
has returned from New York but de
clines to state the object of his visit to
the metropolis.
A whole lot of surmises are made as
to Mr. Sparks’ visit, but until he de
cides to unbosom himself. If he intendB
doing so at all, the public must remain
in Ignorance of his visit, upon which
Is thought to depend his future actions.
There Is little doubt hut that his visit
was upon railroad business of some
kind.
WOULDN'T PAY THE PRICE.
Therefore the M. & B. Trains Will No
Longer Use the Union Depot.
Beginning yesterday morning, the
Macon and Birmingham railroad dls.
continued the use of the union pnssen.
ger depot, and henceforth the trains
of that road will put off and take on
passengers at the foot of Pine street,
near the Intersection of Fifth street.
The cause of the discontinuance it
the refusal of the Macon and Birming
ham to pay the price charged by the
Central for the use of the depot since
the Macon and Birmingham has gotten
out from under the control of the Geor
gia Southern and Is running on Its own
hook. The change Is an inconvenient
one for the traveling public.

WHEW? AIN’T IT COOL? See our
underwear. Miller White.
The general topie of conversation at
the shops of the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad yesterday was the re
ported removal of Master Machinist
George Harris, and the abolition of his
office. All sorts of speculations could
bo beard us to what It meant. Those
who heard the reports were loth to be
lieve them, but the employees of the road
in and about the shops stated positively
that there was no mistake.
A Telegraph reporter asked Superin
tendent Jeff Lano about the report. Mr.
Lane’s reply was:
“I am not prepared to discuss the mat
ter.”
Mr. Harris was absent from tho city,
and could not bo seen, but some of his
closest friends arc confident that tho re
ports are true.
What is meant by the aetlon of the
Georgia Southern, if the master mechan
ic's office has been abolished, is only
to be conjectured, bnt the most popular
idea sccais to be that the shops are to
ho merged with those of cither the
Central er tho Southern. In fact, it was
the prevailing opinion among Central
railroad men a few weeks ago that as
soon as the Central had been reorganized
tho shops of that road and of the
Georgia Southern would he merged. This,
of course, would reduce the clerical
forces of oue or the other shop and save
the expense of one master mechanic.
Another idea wus suggested by a rail
road man yesterday afternoon: Perhaps
tho bulk of tho work formerly done by
tho Georgia Southern shops will hereaf
ter bo done • by the Southern shops in
Atlanta, allowing the Georgia Southern
shops to be used simply for repairs, etc.
A contraot between the city of Ma -on
and tho Georgia Southern compels tho
road to keep its shops located in the
city, but such a contract, it is said,
could not dlctato what work should bo
done at the shops, what forces should be
employed, or anything of that kind, and
would not prevent the consolidation of
the Georgia Southern shopa with those
of any other road, so long us some kind
of shop was maintained in this city by
tho Georgia Southern road.
Mr. Harris has been 1 in Macon as mas.
ter Machinist of tho Georgia Southern
for the post six years. Ho came from
Snulsbury, N. C., and was employed by
the old R. and D.: he was also at one
tlrao superintendent of motive power on
the Mobile and Ghio railroad, with head
quarters at Mobile. Ho is considered
-most capable man, nnd has given tho
greatest satisfaction during his connec
tion with the road. Mr. Harris has also
made himsnlf very popular with tho
business men of Macon.

There is no villian, no murder, no
