Northern capitalists are investing a

have had no reason to regret doing
so.

Cdl. E. C. Machen was in the city
yesterday on liis way to New York.
He is a genius in railroad building and
an all around good fellow—one of the
brightest men the man about town
has ever met.
It is a matter of record that in
building the Macon and Covington
road Mr. Machen whipped three hun
dred suits and forty-seven injunctions
and finally came out on top. One dav
in.aNew York court when the law'-
yers had proved that he began to
build the road on a capital of a crate
of bacon, and fifty-five dollars and
were making fun of him for what they
thought was fool-hardy. Mr. Machen
got up and said; “May it please your
honor, any fool can build a railroad
if he has the money, but it takes a
smart man to build one without it ”
The judge fined Mr. Machen, fifty
dollars for contempt of court, but the
next morning’s mail brought the
plucky railroad man a number of
j letters from wealthy men who had read
an account of the proceedings, and
wanted to pay his fine. There wag
no need for that, however. The judge
knew a good thing when he saw it,
| and discretely remitted the fine.
Keep your eye on Machen. If he
lives, the best part of his career is to
ome; though he has already done
great things for middle Georgia.—

There is a cry of fear in Paris
lest dancing may be foroed out of
fashion. One reason assigned is that
women with salons no longer encour

ing. It has disappeared from many
Paris salons. A revival of the art is
oailed for. ^

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular-Correspondent.
Washington, D. C., May 5,1890.
Editors Union-Rkcordkr:
There was a cry of “Extra Paper”
ou the streets of Washington Satur
day evening, and it was soon known
throughout, the city that Senator Jas.
B. Beck the Senior Senator from Ken
tucky had dropped kead from heart
paralysis in the Baltimore and Poto
mac Railway Station. There has been
no more sudden and appalling death
of a prominent man for years. He
fell aud died in the depot in which
Gen. Garfield was assassinated nearly
ten years ago.
Senator Beck was born in Scotland
in 1822, He received an academic ed
ucation in his native country, and
came to the United States with his
parents when a young man of seven
teen or eignteen. They settled in
Kentucky and the future Senator im
mediately started to work to make a
living. He was employed in various
miuor capacities.
A story illustrating the innate hon
esty of the man, even fn his early
days, wag related last night by A gen
tleman who was thoroughly well ac
quainted with him. Mr. Beck, the
gentleman said, was employed in Cyn-
tliiaca, Ky., about one of the stables
there. Here he came under the notice
of (Ten. John C. Breckinridge, who
was attracted to him by his intelli
gence, industry and good nature,—
Gen. Breckinridge was one of the lead
ing lawyers of his section at this time,
and one day he brought’down a copy
of Blackstone and gave it to young
Beck. He red it thoroughly und
showed such a strong desire to become
a lawyer that Gen. Breckinridge took
him into his office at Lexington, Ky.
Here he entered the Jaw school of
Transylvania University, from which
he was graduated in 1840.
When General Breckinridge weut
into the late war, Mr. Beck, who was
his law partner, took charge of his af
fairs and of his law practice. Gen’I.
Breckinridge at that time owned a
large tract of undeveloped lands in
the Northwest. Mr. Beck managed
the law practice and interests com
mitted to his care so judiciously and
honestly that he was subsequently
able to turn over to Mrs. Breckinridge
$150,000. This incident, it is said, be
coming known, aided materially in
his first election to congress.
Mr. Beck devoted nimself in his
early years to the law and to business
affairs, amassing a fair competence be
fore beginning his political career in
Congress. He was a whig in his early
years, but when his law partner Gen.
Breckinridge went into the democratic
party lie carried Mr. Beck, who was
devotedly attached to his interests,
with him. la 1860 he was first elect
ed to congress as a representative in
the Fortieth Congress from the Ash
land(Ky.) district. He was re-elected
to the Forty-first Congress in which
body he made an able reply to George
S. Boutwell, arguing against the adop
tion of the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution, declaring that the
right of suffrage should not;be abridg
ed on account of race, color, or pre
vious condition of servitude, on the
ground that the regulation of suffrage
should be left to the States.
Being elected to the Forty-second
and Forty-third Congress, Mr. Beck
served on the Ways and Mean* Com
mittee. He studied tariff questions
with great assiduity, and became a
recognized authority on these matters
He declined a re-election to the House
in 1876, and was elected to the Senate.
Among those who entered the Sen
ate at this time with him were, Mes
srs Hoar, of Mass; Ben Hill, of Ga.;
David Davis, of Illinois; Plumb, or
Kans; Garland, of Ark; McPherson,
Coke and Harris aud ex-Secretary
Kirkwood of Iowa.
He took a prominent part in the
Senate in the legislation which re:
suited in the passage of the Bland
silver bill. He was always an advo
cate of a liberal silver policy, and at
this time offered a measure proposing
the coinage of not less that $3,000,000
monthly. He was assigned to the
committees on Appropriations and

An editorial in the New York Sun
dealing with women's clubs, contains
the following most significant re
marks:—"As a rule women are better
educated, and they have not impair
ed their capacities by the follies so
usual in the sex which boasts of its
greater strength.” What, I ask, is
tlie logical inference to be drawn
from this statement, if not that wo
men are better fitted for the discus
sion of questions requiring clear sight
and nice intellectual discrimination
than men? “They have not impaired
their capacities.” Glorious admission.
Wo thank you, brother Dana, in the
name of all the girls, all the spinsters,
all the wives, and all the widows who
have never been guilty of “the follies
so usual to the sex which boasts of its
greater strength.”
Here is another item, this time from
the wide-awake New York World:—
“The Ladies’ Health Protective Asso
ciation lias requested the Commission
er to appear before that organization
Saturday evening to explain his views
and prospective methods for cleaning
the streets.” I am going to that meet
ing. Isn’t it encouraging to think
that women at last are acknowledged
to have some rights that men are
bound to respect? Think of a city of
ficial being summoned before an or
ganization of women. Commissioner
Beattie is preparing his address fOr
tlie occasion, and is said lo be very
sanguine of obtaining wise advice aud
substantial assistance from the ladies.
I have had letters and letters, but
the document which 1 transcribe for
tlie amusement and perhaps instruc
tion of my readers contains more con
ceit. than any I have ever received:
“Dear Madam—I have the honor
to be a newly graduated physician,
with a fair country practice, and 1
trust you will excuse my asking an
explanation of one of tlie statements
which appeared in our local paper. If
you can give a scientific explanation
of your statement—whioh I very much
doubt—I shall be pleased to consider
it. My question is this: I do not wish
to be ungentlemanly or push a lady
too hard, but my training has been
entirely against unsupported theories.
If a lady has influence enough to
write for others to read, that lady
should be compelled to substantiate
every statement she makes. This is
my question: Why is five grains of
quinine in a soft capsule more effica
cious than five grains of quiuiue in a
pill? An early response will be much
appreciated. Permit me to say also
that I do not approve of your advice
to women about having their own
purses. A wife should have exactly
his skull is so thick and his conceit
so colossal that I doubt if he will ever
be able to understand it.
According to promise 1 have inform
ed myself on massage treatment for
tlie face. I did not submit t.o tlie op
eratiou though it seemed pleasant aud
easy enough, but 1 looked on while a
very pretty woman with dainty fin
gers and professional touch, worked
her charm upon a lined aud somewhat
battered face of fifty years or there
abouts. To begin with, tilts process
took one hour, and for the work and
various lotions used the pri* was
three dollars. I did my best to find
out what, the washes und unguents
were made of, so that T might give
my readers a gentle hiut,. But beyond
the odor of rose water, 1 could not go.
A little agute iron vessel was placed
at such a uistanoe from an alcoholio
lamp as to keep its oontents just tep
idly warm. Into this fluid the fingers
of the operator were constantly dip
ped. Tlie performance commenced
by deftly lifting the flesh from the
forehead, and softly pinching and
working it. Special attention' was
given to the eyelids and the flesh im
mediately under the eyes. It was
very funny to see the nose nipped,
but eve'-y line and every wrinkle and
every prominent nerve was carefully
treated from the forehead to tlie col
lar bones. After this a pinkish paste
was rubbed into the glowing flesh,
and while this treatment, was work
ing, tin* patient's hands were pinched
in tlie same manner as the face. Then
the pink preparation was removed by
a linen rag wet with something from
a very elegant cut-glass bottle, and
afterward ihe face was manipulated
from tlie chin upward, with what
med more like mesmeric pusses
than anything else, lint there was no
downward strokes. The fingers were
dipped in a fresli supply of tlie first
iquid for this final polishing off.
It is rather delicate work to advise
•.orrespondents about buying pianos.
I did tlie best I knew how in tills de
department of selection a few weeks
ago. Choose the instrument that ap
peals to you, and if yon cannot piny
anything more than the “Sweet. Bye
and Bye,” if you are yourself to prao
tlce on the piano, don’t be ashamed
to visit the warerooins. I claim that
the true lover of music cannot so sat
isfuctoriy select an instrument from
another’s performance as from her
own, In reference to the particular
piano 1 cannot advise. 1 have u Noh-
iner Cabiuet Grand, and it Alls my

The best recipe for luncheon buns
that I know of is tlie following. These
are especially nutritious and appetiz
ing for children who are obliged to
oat the mid-day meal at school. Of
course something besides buns should
be provided—sandwiches, good bread
and butter, boiled eggs, Ac., Ac., but
as most every child desires something
sweet to “top off with,” it is very neo
what her husband gives her, and if essary that such articles of diet should
she is worthy to he liis wife she will
be satisfied with it.”
“Young Doctor,” is a fool and a ty
rant, and my heart nobes both for ills
wife and liis patients. If it were not
for my belief in evolution 1 should
consider him a lost soul. But I will
answer his question, because he sad
ly needs the information. The qui
nine ithat goes into pills Is mix
ed with some hard substance upon
which the gastric juice 1ms frequent
ly little or no effect. If the pill does
ultimately aud entirely dissolve, the
stomach is frequently upset in the
process, and the benefit from the
quinine is very slight. When tlie soft
capsule of quinine sulphate reaches
the stomach, the delicate cover is im
mediately broken, and the quinine
begins its work at once and without
nausea or uneasiness This is my au

Georgia Teachers’ Reading Circle.
One of tlie most important resolu
tions passed by tlie Teachers’ associa
tion at Columbus, wastliat offered by
Professor J. C. Harris and seconded by
Professor J. 8. Stewart, instituting a
reading circle on tlie Chautauqua plan
for the teachers of Georgia, covering
a three years’ course in pedigogy, his
tory, science und literature. The
great mass of the teachers are un-
ble to attend normal schools and col
leges.
Fully eighty per cent of the teach
ers have only a high school education.
By means of this reading circle they
will he able to continue their studies
and receive a diploma. The circle will
he an adjunct of the state education
al department, under the manage
ment of a committee of nine, consist
ing of the following named gentle
men: State School Commissioner
Hook, Professors C. H. Lane, Atlanta;
L. B. Evans, Augusta; Otis Ashmore,
Savannah; E. B. Smith, LaGrauge;
W\ M. Zettler, Macon; VV. M. Noyes,
Atlanta, and W. R. Thigpen, Savan
nah.
These geutieinen will arrange a
course of study, hold examinations
and issue diplomas. There are over
30,000 teachers In the west engaged iu
asimilar course of study, and there
seems to he no doubt that a great
amount of good can tie accomplished

The Secret of Married Life.
Here is a hit of advice from a wo
man who isti’i one <>l tlie Moua Caird

on her wrinkled hand lias lost its
brightim-s: “Preserve the courtesy
of the beginning of married life if you

remember this : It isn't safe to be too
intimate with your husband. Have
your own thoughts aud let him have
liis, amt never let him think lie has

ty, characteristics and ideas that are
interesting. Ami if you wanttocor
reel his faults try praising his virtues.

Both Better and Cheaper.
The Royal Baking Powder, as an actual fact, is the most
economical in use of any made, because of its greatly supe
rior strength.
Both the United States and Canadian Governments in the
reports of their investigation of baking powders have pub-
Jished this fact officially.
The other baking powders known in this vicinity are shown
by chemical tests to contain from 20 to 80 per cent, less
leavening-gas than the Royal. So the Royal, even should it
cost more than the others, would be much the cheaper.
In addition to this the superior flavor, sweetness, whole
someness and delicacy of the food raised by Royal Baking
Powder would make any difference in cost insignificant.
When the Royal makes finer and more wholesome food*
at a less cost, which every housekeeper familiar with it will
affirm, why not discard altogether the old-fashioned methods
of soda and sour milk, or home-made mixture of cream of
tartar and soda, and use it exclusively ?
