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.

WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE OP A GREAT IJOUBE THINKS. Mr. Seymour W. Botisall, Representa tive of Raney Pisko A Son of Now Ygrk. lias studied and Thinks Ma con la All Right. the tight all-over bodice, and wo have been comfortable no long now that wo will be slow to submit to anything but Sn clastic tight tit. While what this soothsayer styles “tho public'’ le deciding whether It la worth while do become acouatomed to this new sort of bodice, sensible women can well afford do Interest themselves in something less radical. Hero Is a model that makes severe enough de mands In the way of a good llgurp, and 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 lace. Burahs aro again on the market, and bo It remembered that no wonvo Is more enduring, or more artistic In gloss and fold. Canvas Is opt In many sorts, the very closo weave being Just now In great demand. In good quality this has tho wlre-llrm finish of a twisted cord serge, but Its glosa and beauty 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 Barnesvllle concerning a most Wiurinlng young woman, who during several visit* to Macon, has made many friends here. On Wednesday evening Mrs. A. J, Bla lock efitertilnod most delightfully at a plllow-dex party complimentary to her guest, Miss Carry Payno Atwater ol Thomaitan. This Is said to have lieen one 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 1* an unusually .beautiful girl, a true hearted, noble, womanly girl. Her many friends will be glad to hear of the boun tiful compliment paid her by Mr*. Bla lock. 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.

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.
