A Glimpse of Macon’s 8oeIsl Life—In-

Short Skirts In Vogue.
There are prophets bold enough to
declare that something a good deal
like the jersey ot some years ago, and
also a good deal like the sweater of
today, la on Its way to offer a solution
of the question, “What shall we have
In the way of a novelty for specialty
waists?" The weave of the new Jersey
la a marvel. The delicate ribs are all
curved to follow the lines of the figure,
and the garment clasps the figure so
firmly and closely that no boning Is re
quired, though a perfeot corset Is neces
sary. Into the weave, spangles, beads,
lines of silk, or satin and to on, art
set, allowing any degree of elaboration
In effect. One example ehows merely a
glint of oerlso under tbreada of mul
berry color that makes tho tone of tho
Jersey. The garment laces at tho sides
and on one shoulder. It fits like a
glove. The usual elaboration ot collar,
shoulder pieces and boleros will bo
worn with It, one prophet says, “till

in something less radical. Hero Is a
model that makes severe enough de

yet that “tho public” Is used to. It was
tight titling, with a small bolero that
was appllqucd with white lace. Yoke
and collar were white chiffon garnlehcd
with Btcel galoon, and the sleeves were
largo puffs reaching to the elbow and
ending with deep mines of bruseels

the very closo weave being Just now
In great demand. In good quality this
has tho wlre-llrm finish of a twisted

make tho material dressy as well. A
canvas skirt worn with a silk bodies Is
used where a while ago a figured silk
would have been deemed more suitable.
•• Very pleasant news comes from

young woman, who during several visit*
to Macon, has made many friends here.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. A. J, Bla

of tho most charming social event* of the
eeasou In Baencsville, and thoac who
know Mrs. IXa'ock will not need to ho
assured of the fact, since it 1* conceded
that sho Is one of thu must charming
and cordial of hostesses. Miss Atwater

hearted, noble, womanly girl. Her many
friends will be glad to hear of the boun
tiful compliment paid her by Mr*. Bla

I have so often made a pica—a tim
id, half-hearted appeal, 1 grant you, but
a -sincere plea—for a ralny-day costume
for working women, that It given mu gen
ulne pleasure to copy the following from
tho New York Press;
“It is worth whllu to notice the hold
that the ahort skirt lm's taken upon
Washington. As long ago a* last winter
it was aa ordinary occurrence to see wo
men in bicycle skirt* without their
wheel*. Sometime* they were going
skate, sometime* they were going _
play gulf, and aumetHne* they only pre
tended they were going lo do these
things. This winter it i» so much au ev
ery-day affair that wearing a short ikirt
requires no courage at ail. No one pays
any attesitlon to the wearer. Thu least
appearance of mud or wet In the street
brings out women in blcyUc eklrt* by
the score. They pat on their ehun skirts
now as naturally as a man turns un the
bottom of bla trouser* when it Is raining
hi London. And the people who do It are
the people who determine whether *
thing is guod form or not. For example,
That the attention uf capitalist* la turn
ed toward the South Is shown lu tho desire
of tho great financial representatives of the
country to learn more about us. l'orbaps
In no Instance has this been more clearly
ahown than In tho action of Harvey Flske
& Son of New York In sending one of
their keenest observers, one of tbelr brain
iest men, on a trip of observation uml In
vestigation through tho South. Tho name
of Hurvcy Flake fc Bon Is a synonym for
financial probity and stability In the bull-
noss world. Their recommendation, al
ways based oa an accurate knowledge of
tho conditions (hey present, is accepted
without question lu tho world ot finance.
That they deem the South worth un ex-
bauatlvo examination, such ns will fur
nish them with an accurate idea of tho
business conditions, resources and charac
ter of Its dtlfcrent sections la ot the ut
most significance.
For several days Mr. Seymour W. Hon-
sail, .tin! representative of Flake & Hon,
has brctl lu Macon. Some Idea of tile
character of hla Investigation can bn an I ti
er.'ll from « brief sketch of tho line of his
Inquiries, llo visited the city authorities,
tho schools, and had a talk with I'rofcasor
Abbott; rode through all aeetlons of tho
city and noted tho character of the real-
denco ond business portion; talked with
representative business men and working
men. llo procured a map of tho city, anu
on It hn Indicated the character of the dif
ferent portions of tho city. In short, tie
learned nil ubout Macon. After he had
romplnted au exhaustive Investigation,
upon which his report will tie based, a rep
resentative of Ihe Telegraph asked him
for on expression of his estimate of Macon.

Cntnu to Macou from Columbus Ten
Day* Ago—Vns Despondent mid Has
Been Drinking—Leaves n IViro
and Two Children.
Dr. J. C. Montgomery committed
sulolde at his homo on Jackson street
yesterday afternoon. He swallowed
thirty grains or morphine at 2:20'
o'clock, and at 5 o’clock bis body was
a corpse.
The news of Dr. Montgomery’s sul-
cids created much surprise to those
who heard of It last night, as but very
few people In Macon knew there was
such a physician residing hers. Dr.
Montgomery canto to Macon,about tan
days ago from Columbus, where ho
had been practicing medicine, with the
Intention of continuing tho work of his
profession hero. His family has been
In the city for some time, and resldo
on Jackson street.
Yesterday afternoon Dr, Montgom
ery came down town and remained
about an hour. Ho took several drinks
ot whisky and returned home. Shortly
after he reached his room he walked
Into hit wife's room, handed her a note
and walked out before sho read it. Mr*.
Montgomery read tho note, and with a
shriek Jumped up from-ltcr chair s'nd
ran Into Dr. Mnntgomcry'a room, whets
sho found the doctor sitting In a chair.
Hls face was perfectly ptirpio and he
showed no signs of consciousness.
Mrs, Montgomery called to her 12-
year-old son nnd her daughter and
they laid the doctor upon tho bed and
removed Ills clothes. Physicians were
at once summoned, nnd tho work of
trying t« shvh the man's life Wits be
gun. Drs. o. C, Gibson, J. C. lluck-
aby and Hope were found Slid reached
the dying inn a few minutes before Ills
death. At 5 o'clock lifo was extinct.
Tho deadly drug had done Us work.
Drs. OibBon, Hucknby and Hope dis
covered that bo hud taken thirty grains
of morphine, and the djug had too ef
fectively done Us work for human skill
to bo of any aid.
Why Dr. Montgomery committed sui
cide Is not known. That he took mor
phine to end hls life Is a certainty, for
he addressed a short note to his wife,
which simply slated that ho had taken
hls life In his own hands and It would
soon bo over. He gave no reason for
the rash «"i. but it Is believed by hls
wlfo that lie was despondent over hls
failure to obtain practice sufficient to
provide for himself and family, that
lto gavo up hope and ended hla ex
istence.
Dr. Montgomery did not suocced Well
In Columbus, sn It Is stated, and he
came here expecting to do better. 11s
seemed to be brooding over somo dis
appointment or trouble and had been
drinking for the lout few days. Yes
terday afternoon -he took several drinks
but no ono anticipated that ho was
steadying hls nerves for the fearful
act ho contemplated.
Dr.* Montgomery was 45 years of age.
He was born In Green county, Ga.,
nnd has lived at different places In tho
state since entering the practice of hls
professions. He was a graduate of the
Atlanta Medical College, and has been
In active practice for fifteen years.
Ho wo# a Royal Arch Mason and was
a member of the lodge at Chaunccy,
Go., where he at one lime resided.
Dr. Montgomery leaves a wlfo ond
two sons. Tho oldest son Is u young
man 18 years old, Who Is a.telegraph
operation at Jacksonville, Fla. TBS
youngest son is 12 years old, and lives
in Macon with hls parents. Mrs. Mont
gomery Jibs two children, a daughter
and u son, the latter a motormun on
the Mncoji and Indian Spring street
The family of Dr. Montgomery Is
•aid to bo In rather needy, circum
stances. No nrrangements have as yet
been made for the burial of tho re
mains of tho suicide. -Unless the body
is taken In charge by friends of tho
family, the city will liavo tho remains
