Monday next the Oakland Exposition
will be opened, but not until Tuesday
evening will the formal Inauguration ex-
ercises be held. Monday the Fourth cele-
bratioa and kindred attractions will be
the center of interest, and on the follow
ing night President Mckinley will open
the exposition with special message
from the White House.
Preparatory to the receiving of the
Presidents message the platform has been
fitted up to resem BILE a telegraph office.
ard as last as the message ls received 1T
will be handed to uniformed messenger,
who will carry it to the bulletin-cl clerk, and
the latter will write it on the blackboards.
Several hundred people were at work in
the numerous buildings to-day decorating
and putting mp exhibits, and the exposi-
tion will be far ahead of either OF its
predecessors. More prominence than
usual is being given to special occasions,
and it now looks as though there would De

times But just like many another club
it got in debt after awhile, the mem bers
lost interest in it, and finally the doors
were closed.
Among the liabilities of the concern
was bill for $22S 30 owed to the liquor
dealing firm or A. Akesson d Co. for
goods, wares and merchandise sold and
denvered." Efforts 10 collect this bill
were frequently made and just as fre-
quently proved futile, and it began at last
to look as if the goods would never be
paid for, though long since consumed.
But the dealers kept their ewes open and
to-day, fancying they saw G ance to re-
coup themselves, they sued Ell Nido Club
for the amount of their claim and then at
tached anv money that might be in The
Alameda Bank to the credit of the club.
There happened 10 be some there, the
pr ceeds of the sale of The furniture OF the
defunct organization, and it is now only u
matter OF legal procedure for the deale RS
to get their own again after long wait.

Rossini's Trumpeter

This is story Rossini liked to tell: A
performance of 1.-The Barber" was being
given in nv honor in the local theater.
While the overture was in full swing
noticed huge trumpet in the orchestra,
nanifestly blown with remarkable force
and continuity by member of the band; /;
but not sound IN the least akin to the
tone of that instrument could l hear. At
the close of the performance 1 inter-
viewed the conductor, and asked him to
explain the purpose OF the trumpet. He
answered: maestro, in this town there
is not a living soul who can play the
trumpet; therefore, specially engaged an
artist TO hold Que up to his lips, binding
him by an oath not TO blow into it, for it
looks we'll to have trumpet in an operate

that Won Kapff ever sent it to him.

Plan For IN Exhibition Of It at the 0reat
Paris Show In 1000.
A southern woman-a Macon woman
has conceived project of such merit
and SO worthy of notice that space is
given to presentation Of it.
No one need be told that we have q
Woman's Exchange in Macon, for it has
won its way to recognition. There are
like exchanges at Augusta. Savannah
and Atlanta, Ga Montgomery, Ala |;
Richmond. New Orleans and Chatta-
nooga and Memphis.
Miss Annie Napier, manager OF the
Macon Woman's Exchange, has conceiv-
ed the plan Of uniting the woman's ex-
changes in the different southern cities
in an exhibit Of the handiwork and skill
of southern women at the Paris exposi-
ton. 1t is not only laudable and pos
sible proposition, but very sensible
one as well.
1t is proposed to make the exhibit a
veritable history in the story it will tell
of southern women, from the days when
they armed sons and husbands and fa-
theirs to fight under Marion, Sumter
and Morgan, and their loyal devotion,
their self sacrifice, nerved the arms OF
patriots to greater deeds Of the southern
women Of a later day, who were just as
loyal, Just as tender and true; Of the
southern women who had done so much
in the days since 1866, helping by their
patience, their self denial and their in
spring influence to build up what wars
stern exactions had destroyed
To the people Of the old world it will
be revelation of the American, the
southern woman, of which they never
dreamed. To the American who shall
visit the great exposition in the gay cap
ital of France it will tell the story Of q
womanhood in which he takes greater
pride and interest than any exhibit he
may see. 1t will be story Of the self
helpfulness which the women of the
south are learning, and in learning are
preparing themselves to teach to the
women Of the nation.
The movement is well under way, and
today request for space in one of the
exposition buildings at Paris will be
mailed from Macon.
The headquarters Of the movement
will be in this city and in charge of the
Macon Woman's Exchange. Other ex-
changes will be solicited to join in the
project, and there is no doubt that every
woman's exchange in the south will in.
