FOURTH NATIONAL BANK MACON, GEORGIA To the Prisoners at the Stockade—Al lows Fifteen to Go and Spend To day as They Please. YOU DON’T NEED A LANTERN When Mayor Miller went Into his of fice at the city hall yesterday morn ing. he heard from all around the sound of the Christmas noise, and looking out of the window he saw the people busy buying something, no matter how little, but something, for the morrow. There were people with bundles, whether of toys, of clothing, or of turkey, It matters not, and they were preparing for the morrow. Every body was looking to the morrow. Then the muyor. looking down Pop lar street at the busy throng, thought of the stockade, tho chalngang, at the lower end of the street. HJfi mind wandered adown that busy street, winding among the people who were free to go and free to come, until It reached tho stockade. Then he thought of the poor devils, pie drunks and tha disorderlies, the loiterers, and the lighters and the loafers and the vaga bonds. all shut up In that place, and for whom the morrow held no charms, but instead only tho miseries of life. There was a consultation with the recorder. It was the way In which the mayor talked. It was not tho order to do this and that, It was the kindly suggestion, the don’t-you-thlnk-so way of saying it, and out of it came the Instructions to Foreman Callaway, who was as happy as if tho finance com mittee had put an extra ten per on bis monthly salary, to sort the sheep from the goats down at tho stockade, and all thoso who were not wanted for the stato courts to pass on, to be liberat ed. and In timo to do something for the morrow. Thoso fifteen liberated devils may bo back In tho, prison before tho spn goes down tonight. They may bo drunk os lords before dinner, but they are freo when Christmas dawns this morning. For those left behind in tho stock ade,- there will be a dinner of barbe cued pig and thero will bo fruit and things, enough to bo a Christmas din ner.

It has been noticed that recently whenever tho recorder gives the par ent, or tho person in charge, the ‘op tion of allowing tho court'to punish by fine the many cases of boys under the age limit'for petty offences, or 1)6 taken out In the city prison and whip ped, there Is a decided reluctance to whip. , Whether this Is because tjio parents do not think the boys guilty, or wheth er they hud ruther pay tho fine, no matter how hard to raise, Is not known. But this has been the case several, times recently. Yesterday two small boys, ono eleven and the other nine years of sge, wero brought up by Officer Reddy for chunking rocks. The officer found them on Second street.,and a lady on a porch of a house came near being struck by one of the boysr They gavo ns an oxcuso for the chunking that other boys threw nt them and they only throw rocks back. ' Tho recorder gave the aunt of tho boys tho option as usual, but sho bnlk- ed. Sho wanted to know what he was going to flno them, and did not ,llke the Idea of the hoys being whipped, even If she did have the Job, The court saw that she hesltifted, and fined the boys five dollar* each. -That was more money than sho had calculated on, and she gave In, turning the Job of whipping tho boys over to her big strapping son. It will bo at least twenty-four hours before those boys chunk rocks again A Dangerous Operation Is tho removal of tho appendix by n surgeon. No one who takes Dr. King’s New Life Pills Is ever subjected to this frightful ordeal. They work so quietly you don’t feel them.

Hackett has met with this year In "The Prisoner of Zen da." It will bo re membered that this play was one of the R rentest successes or a decade ago. It i thought that In this day of serious und ethlcul plays, there Is still a largo, audi ence ----- w Ro‘ s win“ welcome^ tills classic the romantic stage. It Is a stirring drama without a moment’s dullness, and tho good.phi-fashioned levo story, which seems to have gotten Into disrepute, is to be found hero In ull Its strength. In addition there Is on abundance of flffc sword play that once marked tho great aptor of the old dayg, and even In these days has made James K. Hackett one of the lending romuntlc nctors in America. . It Is hardly necessary to recall the story of "Tho Prisoner of Zendo,” which enjoyed a vogue that few English novels had, and was the beginning of tho ro mantic movement In this country und England. Combining the dAsh and vigor of tho romance of Alexander Dumas wjth tho lightness of touch und hutnor that belongs to our own day, Mr. Hack- ott created a hero In Russondyll that will undoubtedly live for a long time. Mr. Hackett has gathered ubout him ns mnny of tho original cast as it has been possible, and the production, It Is of unusual and others. THE RIGHT OF WAY.

The story deals in pic. turesqun and adventurous fashion with tho redemption of a castaway life by an net of self-renunciation. The hero, Steele, stands In a cruel predicament with love anil happiness 6n one side, n honor nr.d responsibility, on tho nth..., and It Is tho solving of this problem that Mr. Eugeno W. PrOHbrey. the adapter, has brought to. a satisfactory Issue.

Miss Blanche Wulsh, who Is regarded as one of the best known emotional ac tresses In the English-speaking world, acquired her first knowledge of acting in the. old Lyceum school, and less than a year later was playing leading parts In Hhakonpearlan plays. She regards "The Test," In which she will lie seen at the Grand Opera House for a limited en gagement of one night, on Thursday, Dec. 31, as the greatest work In which she has over appeared. New York critics have pronounced It the strongest drama produced In America In many years. Miss Walsh Is supported by an exceedingly capable cast.
