WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.—The flrat
dinner of the Gridiron Club for the
season Was given at the Arlington Ho
tel tonight and the beautifully decorat
ed dining room rang with merriment
1*666 j for more than fobr hours, greatly to
the delight of tha two hundred persons
present. The recent election afforded
the famous club of Washington corres
pondents an opportunity to maek mirth
ut the expense of both the successful
and the defeated parties, prominent
representatives of both being present
to enjoy tho quips and burlesques
which were presented with gridiron
humor end pleasantry. Cabinet offi
cers, senators, representatives, diplo
mats and other officials were there to
be put on the gridiron and also to ap
preciate the clever skits which had
been concocted for their especial ben
efit.
An attemtp to reorganise the Demo
cratic party in which Cleveland, Bry
an, Watson, Debs, Davis, Taggart and
others were personated by members
of the club, and Into which a fortune
teller full of wit and alive to the gen-
crnl situation Injected himself, made
the hit of the evening.
The Initiation of two members, Phi
lander Johnson of the Washington Star
and Richard II. Lindsay of the Kansas
City Star, afforded great amusement.
The "twin stars." "stars of the even
ing" and "Beautiful Stars," intertwin
ed with the personal characteristics of
each, resulted In pleasing situations.
The Dead Letter office, to which a
member of the club had recently been
appointed chief, wna opened and some
curious nnd unheard of letters relating
to prominent guests were unearthed.
The musical feature was one of the
heat nnd topical songs, choruses and
solos dedicated especially to thone who
sat at tables were enjoyed during the
dinner. One of tho musical skits was
tho "Litis Country Band," which pa
raded the hall like a political associa
tion. The menu was the offlelal ballot
of the Gridiron Club with several In
tereetln^ suggestions for the benefit ot
the assemblage.
Many bright speeches were mnde by
several guests who were cleverly In
troduced by the president, Louis A.

IN THE CHURCHES.
citizens have discussed the new ordl
nance of Alderman Damour f6r the
erection of a steel viaduct at the en
trance of Central City Park. Since the
measure was presented to council last
Tuesday night it has found favor with
many people and members of council
are desirous of seeing the ordinance
become a law.
The measure is now in the hands of
the ordinance committee of council.
The members of thia committee are
Aldermen Massee, Burdick and Red- 1
mond. The report will be made on the
ordinance at the next meeting of coun
cil and the recommendation from this
committee will accompany Its return to
council.
The Central railroad has the order
filled for the steel bridge on "Walnut
street Just In front of the gates to the
park and this will be greeted in the
near future. This will provide large
space for the entrance to the park at
this point and the old dingy net work
of wooden trestle will be cleared away
for the more spacious and comely steel
bridge.
The effort now being mi le to pro
vide a steel viaduct has been the out
come of long prevailing need.of a safe
entrance to the park. It Is stated that
the crossing near the gates becomes
more dangerous every year and peo
ple who frequent the park now are
happy at the suggestion of the viaduct.
Many people are Interested In the
outcome of the proposed ordinance
and hnv* expressed desire to see the
action of council prove its passage. It
Is urged that such action would bring
Central City Park within reach of the
citizenship, ladles, children and all.
"I am In favor of building the via
duct," said an alderman whose word
goes a long way in the making of Ma
con's municipal laws, yesterday. "We
are not the only people who have an
idea of this kind. If It were the pur
pose of Macon's board of aldermen
alone to look out for improvement and
progressive might find It hard at thrifts

much Interest In the safety of hu
manity and the making of an entrance
to Central City Park as we have and I
believe Macon railroad officials will
agree with us when we express a de
sire to construct a viaduct which will
relieve the situation for the railroads
os well as the city.
"It Isn't hard to see the great ad
vantages which will be afforded to the
Southern and the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah railroads os well as to the
people of Macon who frequent Central
City Park by thousands. And besides,
no railroad official would evince any
pride in knowing that the line* In Ma-
are cutting the city off from one of
the most beautiful parks in the whole
country.
"Yea we ought to have the viaduct,"
said another citizen who holds a seat
In council. "I want to see it built on
account of the benefits the city will
derive from It And the railroads want
it, too, I believe. Railroad officials who
have spent thousands at other points
to relieve the imminent danger which
prevails in crossing the lines, will not
be willing to offer a serious objection
to the erection of a viaduct at the en
trance of one of Macon's parks.
"Everybody in Macon wants to see
the gates to Central City Park put
within reach of every man, woman and
child. We want It and we believe our
railroads upon which the expenses will
be thrown In cbnstructing the viaduct
would not hesitate to place this most
needed Improvement over their prop
erty at the parks gates. Thia entire
citly goes in and out at them more
than forty times a year and every in
dividual crosses a net work of tracks
not knowing at what mometn a train
will dash along and crush out the life
of some one.
"Many more people would learn to
appreciate Central City Park if the en
trance were made more secure against
danger. If the railroads having tracks
In front of Central City Park would
not curb this most appreciable spirit
of progress and thus further bury
the park from the reach of the public,
they will every man put a shoulder to
the wheel and give Macon evidence of
their Interest in building this viaduct."

Greatest of all waa the last faculty
recital ot “The Weeloyan College Con-
aervutory of Muelc.” under which
name the department of music of this
Institution Is now known'.
It was a record breaker, both In re
gard to tho number of those present,
those, who, for lack of standing room
even vainly sought admission, and for
whose special benefit the recital waa
to be repeuted on Thursday night last,
and above all for the unrivalled excel
lency of the make-up and rendition
of the programme.
Under tho pereonal supervision of
Professor Edouard Hoeselberg. its ar
tistic and able director, Wesleyan prov
ed beyond further doubt, that It un
questionably podsess one of the most
capable und strongest corps of Instruc
tors of sny music school In the whole
country.
The programme opened with Bee
thoven'S beautiful ''Prisoners Chorus.’*
from "Fldello,” rendered by Mrs. H. A.
C. Everett, on the newly purchased
organ. Ill this, and tho following ex
hibition of her nrt. Mrs. Everett, aa
usual, made a very favorable Impres
sion. sustaining her high reputation.
■ Mlsa Dora Comba (Florence. Italy),
one ot the new vocallata (Contralto),
though slightly Indisposed, carried off
her share of honors and (towers, and
waa recalled many tlmea. Her beat
effort was “O Sols Mlo." by Capua, one
of her native popular arsl, tha beauty
of which appealed to all.
Mlsa Leila Wheeler (Cincinnati), Is
the happy possessor of a Lyric So
prano. nnd showed the artiste In every
note she sang. Alt of her selection,
were novelties to the public, and did
t.at fall to make a great Impression.
Posseulng the "coloratura/' Mias
Wheeler lays equal atree# on the
-'cantando,” as was shown In her Tlrln-
delli group of "CAnsonettas.” each ot
which went straight to the heart.
Mlsa F .Eva Massey, tat, from Kobe,
(Japan), undoubtedly haa not allowed
the bombardment of the Russian, to
Interfere with her music. For her
rendition ot Moakowaki’a E Major
Val»e, waa all that could be desired,
nnd on no previous occasion have we
heard her to better advantage. It was
a beautiful conception and execution
of the tone creation of the noted Polish
composer, and the masses appreciated
It. a, waa proven by th, lovely encore,
given tn response to the Imperative np-
P In regard to Mlsa Conner, the faV'
orlte and popular vlolinlate. and Pro.
teeoor Heooelberg. Uttlo can be said,
which has not been stated previously
over and over again. In th.tr reent
offerings, on both occasion, they dupli
cated thetr previous sweeping .ne
sses, and were recalled Ume upon
time.
But the crowning glory of both even
lng. ere, th. “Bach-Gounod." Are
Marie, for voice. vloUn. piano and or
gan, rendered by Misses Wheeler. Con
ner. Mrs. Everett and Mr. llexselberg.
It waa music at for the angels and
little wonder It entranced all.
Right here It la not out of place to
mention Prof. Heaselberfs exquisite
aeeompolnments. They were marked
by rare precision, artistic feeling,
and depth.
As haa been stated previously, never
in the history of Werleyan arm,
demonstrated more clearly nnd con
vincingly. how badly a new chapel or
auditorium Is heeded. Over 100 per
sona were turned away on the first oc
casion. snd the members ot the music
faculty were urgently requested and

Geographically. Australia is Isolated—aa

which nature haa bound the fortunes of

this, the Australian la tenaciously Insular,

that "this country has Mt Its heart on
keeping those fortunes forever separate."
