Entertaining Prayer Meetings.

IIIISUUTE DIBpaICH.
Men and women will patronize that which is
entertaining, no matter whether they are taken
by the hand and led to the front seats or not.
They do not ask to be petted and have Difference
shown them if only they are agreeably enter
tanned. Let any pastor in the city devise an en-
PERTAINING prayer meeting and he will find it well
patronized.
1t is equally true that men and women will not
patronize that which is not entertaining.

THE GRAND JURY FINDS INDICT-
MENTS BY THE DOZEN.

! Solicitor General DuBignon Creates a
Lively Stir Among the G smbling Room
! Keepers-The CITY Authorities Called
Upon for Information in Regard TO
Violations of the Sunday Law.
The sporting men were greatly sur
prised yesterday by tAe presentments
found by the grand jury OF the City Court.
Hardly gaming place OF any Importance
in the city that was not struck through
some representative.
solicitor General DeBignon, for good
reasons, suppressed the names of the
gamblers that he has on his list, but as
the afternoon wore on dozen or more Of
them were seen hustling around for bonds
men, a pretty good indication that they
had been arrested. Some OF the manipu-
lators Of the 'ace' and "jack" got bail
and hunted up an officer, it is said, after
hearing that they were wanted. The ma
jority OF them, however, were apprehended
before they knew what action had been
taken. one Of them stated that he had
just stepped out Of a barber shop to the
street, and seeing an officer spoke to him.
"YOu are the man ] am looking for" re-
piled the officer, and to the astonishment
Of the CANISTER served warrant.
Who furnished the information TO the
jury was not learned, but the gambling
places have been run so openly Of late,
that there will doubtless be little difficulty
In procuring evidence for prosecuting the
cases. The places were open last night
as usual, the evident idea Of the proprie-
tors being that they "might as we'll hang
for sheep as for a lamb"
IL is understood that a considerable
sensation is about TO be sprung by the
Solicitor General. Recently, Acting So
licitor General George w. Owens, Esq,
called upon the city authorities to obtain
some information in regard to the viola
ton of the Sunday liquor law by the sa-
loon keepers.
1t is reported that the authorities re-
fused to give the information aud would
not allow the record to 20 into the hands
Of the Solicitor General. The latter has
declared his intention, it is said, of COM
pelling the authorities to bring their books
into court.
The county authorities have declared
war on the gamblers, and in event Of
conflict with the municipal authorities
there are likely to be some interesting de-
velopments.

The meeting OF the directors of the
Southern Base Ball League at Macon next
Tuesday will be an important one. Be-
sides the election of treasurer to sue
ceed George G. Price, resigned, large
amount Of other business will be trans
acted.
According to the arrangement made at
previous meeting held in Atlanta, the
treasurer Will be taken from the same
city in which the president resides. Ma
con will, therefore, presenta name for the
directors consideration.
AT a meeting IN Atlanta resolution
was adopted fOrfeiting the franchise of
those clubs which failed to pay their in
debtedness to the league by Nov. 1. Pres
ident PTOudit says that all the clubs had
paid their Indebtedness except Memphis
and Birmingham. The franchises of these
two clubs have, therefore, been forfeited,
and they are no longer members OF the
league.
Several cities are applying for the
vacant places. AT their meeting next
Tuesday the directors will decide to
which of the applicants the places will be
given.
1t is considered probable that Savan-
nah and Charleston will be the fortunate
cities.

Association was called last night to ar

"Mixed Pickles" on Monday and Tues

The sale of reserved seats for "Mixed
Pickles" at the Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday nights Will begin at Davis Bros.
at $50 O'Clock this morning.
The plot of the play mixes up two char
acters by the name of Pickle, Mr.. Polk as
"JOseph Pickle" scapegrace, imper-
sonates his truly good brother, the Rev.
Arthur Pickle. Mr.. Polk, who throws a
good deal OF humor, viyacity aud GOODNESS
into all his work, and descends consider
ably less to self-consciOusness and
grimace than do many comedians who
have won greater renOwn than he in
the plays written expressly for
their use, is fitted with a
part in which the most effective
characteristics OF his acting have promi-
nence. Joseph Pickle, whom the bills de-
scribe as ''inclned TO mischief" is man
Of the period who delights in the frolics
OF bachelOrhOod and in endless prac-
tical jokes, for the annoying consequences
OF which his untailing good spirits and
temper and his contagious liveliness al
ways atone. The light comedy that serves
as frame for his droll adventures is
neatly put together; it is free from the
rough pranks and irrelevant incidents
that spoil many pieces of the same pat
tern, and the slender story upon which it
rests is unfolded briskly and with rum
ming accompaniment of dialogue.
