IN SAVANNAH MAY 15.
Thr graduate nurses of the State
of Gf-r.r;.: w;'.'. meet in S.sva-.-.nn'a.
Woo:-.. ■ : iy. May 16. for the purpose
of forming * State association of
SjiirHf and discnsslon of a proposed
hfor State registration. Very few
States of the union are without such
nn 0rvanlzatlon, and the example in
Georg will be set by Macon, Savan
na a .i nd Atlanta.
I'[t to a few weeks ago the nurses
were organized only in two cities In
r Stnte, Atlanta and Savannah, but
more recently the matter was taken
up in Macon, by Miss Borthwlck and
other nurses, and with the co-opera-
tion of Dr. Elder and the hospital staff
a local association was formed.
The State registration is not meant
to exclude practicing nurses, but to
Kf-ep out inexperienced nurses. The
nurses say that they come second to
a physician in importance and as a
rigid examination Is required before a
physician is admitted to practcc in the
kt: why should there not bo some
•'rotectlon from those only second in
Importance in the sick room.
The local association will send sev-

SANTIAGO, May 2.—The conflict
Tuesday between police and sailors of
the Tacoma followed an orderly banquet
which was given at the Cafe Leon De Oro
by a party of first-class seamen of the
cruiser. Along in the morning the men
separated and 12 of them went to the
Cafe Union. They were not Intoxicated.
A police captain named Lay, who was in
citizen's clothes, had been watching this
cafe ail the evening with seven Or eight
policemen to support him. At about 2
o'clock in the morning, the seamen
started for the wharf with the in
tention of boarding the Tacoma. Capt.
Lay claims that the seamen started the
trouble, and the sailors claim Capt. Lay.
without anv provocation, caused the dis
turbance. As the enlisted men of the Ta
coma had been hindered by the police on
their way to the wharf Ensign Brisbin
decided to walk slightly ahead of the
party. Suddenly he heard a revolver shot,
and immediately afterwards the police
charged with revolvers and machetes.
Brlsbine received an ugly cut on the arm.
and was felled to the ground three times.
A fierce fight ensued, with the result that
Henry L. Lee. a fireman of the Tacoma,
will probably die of a compound fracture
of the skull, caused by a machete and
a gun shot wound in the right breast.
Ten other members of the crew of the
Tacomff were taken to the ship's hospital
suffering from machete wounds and club
bing. Not one of the policemen was badly
hurt, although several or them suffered
from fist contusions. The captain and all
the policemen who paftTcfjkrtr-d in the
affair have been suspended by order of
the Civil Governor of Santiago, upon the
repsenstations of Commander Tappen. of
the Tacoma, and the^American consul.
Mr. Hoiaday. who affirm that the lives
of the American officers and men who
go ashore are not safe while such men
are acting as agents of the laiv. Mr.
Hoiaday is making a thorough investiga

WEIRS TO LEAVE FOR
THEY WILL ARRANGE THE D1S-
PLAY OF GEORGIA SCHOOLS.
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Weir leave on
Tuesday for Jamestown.
State School Commissioner Merritt
bestowed an unusual compliment on
Macon when he selected Mr. and Mrs.
Weir to arrange the displays of Geor
gia schools in the Educational Build
ing at Jameston. Mr. Weir is the gen
ius of the public school system of Ma
con. Not only is he a genius, but a
bundle of energy. He can fix a lock
or a window, or build a school house
complete. There is nothing about a
school house that he cannot do. The
good condition of all the many build
ings in the city and county attest the
good work he can do. With it all he
is ready to perform any service, from
•laying a sidewalk to instructing
class in manual training.
Mrs. Weir is the principal of South
Macon school. With her duties of
principal she teaches a class of sixty
odd children, and by the way she has
in her school children from 23 counties
of the State, the parents having
i moved to Macon to have their child
ren educated in the Bibb County
schools.
Mrs. Weir has her heart wrapped up
in school work. In the laborious and
tiresome work of arranging the ex
hibits of the schools at the local fairs
she displayed fine judgment and ex
cellent taste. Her displays were the
talk of the visitors. In her arrange
ment and display at Jamestown, .where
she will have, as at home, the aid of
Mr. Weir, it is not guesswork to say
that Georgia’s school exhibit will com
pare most favorably with that of the
wealthiest State in the Union.

JAY GOULD WON FROM
CHAMPION OF 1904.
LONDON, May 2.—In the final inter-’
national court tennis championship
game. Jay Gould won from Pen
nell. the champion of 1904, in three
straight sets, 6-1. 6-1. 6-1.
The ease with which the American
champion beat Pennell was a surprise
to the British players, who anticipated
at least a great match, some of them
even maintaining that the ex-champion
was quite capable of defeating the vis
itor. Pennell, however, was over
matched. He found himself powerless
to run the American's service. Gould
played brilliantly throughout, returning
almost every play his opponent made.
Gould and Eustace H. Miles will
compete for the championship May 4.
Though retiring from public life.
Lady Henry will carry on her homes at
Duxhurst. where she will continue to
live. She has been before the public
for many years and is almost as well

unhappy marriage led to a separation
from her husband and she determined
henceforth to give herself to social and
religious work. Her first public meet
ing was a little gathering of villagers !
F.' A. Becket, of Houston County,
appears,to 'be in some trouble, having
the charge of larceny written opposite
his name on the police docket.
It seems that Becket came to town
Monday with a wagon and pair of
miiles. He left the wagon on the
English lot. near the corner of Poplar
and First streets, and carried the mules
to Waterman's stable with the pur
pose, he said,, of selling them. He
needed some money and was given a
check for twenty dollars for spending
money.
So far there seems to have been
nothing wrong in his actions. Yester
day morning Lizzie Whitehead, a ne
gro woman living near Fourth street,
reported to Officer Coley that Becket
had been to her house, and wanted
to make some inquiries about parties
he used to know. She stepped out to
get the information, leaving a pocket-
book containing about eight dollars on
her table. When she returned Becket
was gone, so she reported to the of
ficer. and so was the pocketbook and
money.
On this accusation Becket was locked
up to answer to the charge of larceny
this morning. It is said that Becket is
well connected in Houston and his
friends say he will piove himself clear
of the charge when the case is heard,

sessed him ten dollars.

It is useless to try to cure rheu
matism by rubbing liniments and oils
on the skin.
External applications are of use in
securing temporary relief from pain—
the cure for.rheumatism lies in purify
ing and enriching the blood.
The one remedy that has cured more
cases of rheumatism than any other is
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and an in
stance of its power is found in the case
of Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sump
ter street, Sandy Hill, N. Y.
Mrs. Brown, who is now in the prime
of life and the mother of a family, was
a sufferer from inflammatory rheuma
tism from the time she was sixteen.
She says. “It first appeared in my
knee joints, then in my hips and waist.
It became a regular thing that I would
be laid up all winter. The rheumatism
affected mostly my hands, hips, feet
and shoulders. My hands were all
puffed up and my feet became de
formed. I lost my appetite, couldn’t
sleep and sometimes I was compelled
to cry out. the pain was so intense.
"For several winters I was under
the doctor’s care and while his medi
cine relieved the pain for a little while
there seemed no prospect for a perma
nent cure. I was confined to my bed.
off and on, for weeks at a time. My
limbs swelled dreadfully at times and
I was reduced almost to nothing.
“In the spring of 1904 upon the ad
vice of a friend. I began to use Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. At that time I
wasn’t able to do anything and could
barely eat enough to keep alive, I felt
a change for the better in about a
month. I-began to eat heartily and I
suffered less pain. Of course I kept on
the treatment, using care in my diet,
and in about three months I was cured.
I am entirely well today ,and do all
my own work. One of my daughters
was also cured of rheumatism by the
use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and
m.v other daughter, has taken them with
success for debility. She has greatly
improved her strength, appetite and
spirits and is a walking testimonial
for the pills.”
Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis have also
cured such blood disease* as anaemia,
debility, scrofulous conditions, after
effects of the grip and fevers. Owing
to the intimate relation between the
blood and nerves, the''pills have been
found invaluable in such nervous dis
eases as dizziness, nervous debility,
neuralgia. St. Vitus’ dance, and even
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilis are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re
ceipt of price, 50 cents ner box, six
boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams

In talking to a well-known contrac
tor yesterday aboutN-the growing de
mand for tenantable houses, he said
to The Telegraph:
“There is no doubt about the de
mand. and that it is growing, but
there is one cause for it that perhaps
you haven't thought of. There is not
near the building going on now that
is usual at this season, and the rea
son of it is the high price of material.
I have myself some vacant lots on
which I would like to build some
$1,200 houses, but It wouldn't pay me
at tlie prevailing rent prices. I could
not get 8 per cent on my investment.
Material and labor is not going to
get any lower. The rents must and
will go up. When rents are higher it
will pay to build houses and rent
them. It is inevitable, and you may
just as well make up your mind to
see it.
“There are a number of people with
money in Macon who have plans
drawn for houses, some of them for
their own homes, but the price of la
bor and material and especially mate
rial scares them off.

which there is a vacant residence lot,

Others say that while the raising of
rents is sure to come, the final re

T ON BUILD!
yesterday was a great day at the Young
Men's Christian Association, and an un
usual day in the history of many an asso
ciation. The last mortgage on the prop
erty was cancelled and there was great
rejoicing.
When the present building was erected
in 1899. it was nessary to make loans for
its completion, and gradually these loans
have been cancelled, and yesterday the
last building obligation was placed in the
hands of the Clerk of the Superior Court
for a full release of all claims.
This was made possible by the splendid
efforts of the ladies' auxiliary and a few
of the most deeDlv interested young men
—with one member of the board of direc
tor.*.
The association is just closing the most
successful season's work in the history
of the organization in Macon, and much
good has been accomplished. The regular
. | class schedule will be carried out in the
I physical department until May 21. at
James -Butler, of New York, the own- I which time there will be a closing social
er of the longest string of fine race and SJ'^nhslum exhibition.

COLORED BAPTISTS
CLOSE CONVENTION
Good luck seems to follow the work
men employed on and around the new
postoffice.
The other day, without any warning,
not even the creak of timber, a por
tion of the huge derrick located in the
center of the new building, and which
has been used in hauling up and plac
ing the blocks of marble, fell into the
building without striking any of the
workmen or doing any damage.
Yesterday, one of the largest pieces
of timber in its construction fell on
the east side of the building with a
tremendous crash, hut strange to say
no one was hurt.- On that side of the
building are a number of stonecutters
and other workmen, and there is al
ways somebody passing on the very
spot where the timber fell, but all es
caped.
There is more of the derrick left,
however, and something may happen
yet.

Raleigh Music Festival.
RALEIGH. N. C.. May I.—Many vis
itors have arrived in the city to attend
the annual musical festival of the Ral
eigh Choral Society. The festival pro
gram consist s of four concerts, the in
itial one to be given tonight. The Cho
ral Society of 100 voices will be as
sisted by a children's chorus of 250. an
orchestra of thirty pieces and a num
ber of well known soloists. Among the
solists are George Hamlin, tenor: Wil
liam Harper, basso; Mrs. Mary De
Moss, soprano: Miss Margaret Keys,
contralto: Leo Schultz, vioiincello, and
Loraine Holloway, organist.
Something must have gotten into the
horses driven by the city officials.
On Sunday afternoon as Marshal
Chapman was coming in from his par
lor farm at Cross Keys, his horse,
heretofore known as one of the meek
est. most docile of animals, suddenly-
straightened himself out as the mar
shal turned into Cherry street from
Third and struck a gait that was
never dreamed to be in him. There
was no holding him back, and the mar
shal was looking every- minute to be
summoned before the recorder for ex
ceeding the speed limit.
The horse was finally guided with
blistered hands to Mr. Chapman’s
house on Magnolia street, and
quickly as possible' the harness was
taken off. It was then that the horse
kicked up worse and tried to break into
all the houses of the neighborhood. So
frantic was he that no one could
near him.
As quickly as possible Mr. Chapman
got two veterinary surgeons to his
horse, and their first diagnosis was
that the horse had hydrophobia, but on
Mr. Chapman’s saying he would shoot
the horse on the spot if they said so,
they- qualified their statement. The
horse was finally gotten into the stable
and next morning was all right. . It Is
supposed that he had an attack of
staggers.
Yesterday morning the horse of City-
Electrician Humphreys ran .away. It
is supposed that some part of the har
ness broke and became disarrange:!,
and this frightened the animal. The
only damage done was the breaking
of the harness into shoe strings, but
for a time it looked as though the
horse would run into Forsyth.
The Superior court will likely finish
the civil docket of the April term to
day, and preparations will be made for
the taking up of the criminal docket
Monday morning. The first and last
cases set for hearing are the most
important of the docket, being that of
L. S. McConnell, charged with the
murder of John King in East Macon
some weeks ago. and L. D. Strong,who
is charged with tlie murder of Henry-
Smith. Monday. The docket, which
is composed of thirty-nine cases, has
been set for next week, but owing to
the time expected to be consumed in
the trial of the principal cases, the
docket, without doubt, will require the
consumption of the following week.
Owing to the absence of the so’.icJ
iior general yesterday, the grand jury
postponed the-investigation of pros
pective cases, and devoted its time to
the examination of the books of butch
ers in the county. This is an impor
tant duly of the jury each year, and
done for the purpose of determining
whether or not the butchers are con
forming with the lav.-. Butchers are
required to enter upon their books
the brand, ear-marks, or other marks
of identifica'ion.of each purchase, and
this is an effective means for identify
ing cattle thieves.
