SLAIN IN A SPANISH PRISON.
Macon Boy Captured on an American
Vessel Murdered.

Macon Boy Captured on an American
Vessel Murdered.
Macon Ga, May 14--Lawrence Hester,
a young boy of Macon, who ran away
from home some years ago and it is
thought went to sea on an American
sailing vessel, has been killed by Spaniards
while imprisoned on the island of Cuba.
1t was reported some days ago that he
was among the prisoners on board an
American vessel that had been captured
as a prize by the Spahiards, and his par
ents, who are now living in Florida, were
greatly distressed about it.
Young Hester left Macon without the
consent of his parents. The first infor-
nation received about him was when the
department at Washington notified his
father, who was formerly Macon po-
liceman, that his son was among the pris-
oners held by the Spaniards on the, island.
A telegram received to-day by his broth
ers here says that young Hester has been
cruelty murdered in a Spanish prison,
but no particulars are given.

THE NAMING OF John BULL"
DIR, ArbuthnOt Was the Man Who
Thus Dubbed Great Britain.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Now that John Bull and Uncle Sam are
exchanging compliments in such friendly
fashion folk are asking where our trans
Atlantic cousin got his name, and very
few people can answer the question. II
is of special interest to note just now that
It was noculated in a story of Spanish
affairs.
DR.. John Arbuthnot one of the many
royal physicians 10 whom the Scotch city
of Aberdeen has given birth, was the au-
thor of John Bulls being. Almost forgot
ten now by all but the erudite who re-
member him as the intimate of Pope anc
Swift. Arbuthnot christened the British
nation in bulk as John Bull in the politi-
cal strife incidental TO the dismissal OF
the Wing ministry of 171O when the able
and yavaricious Marlborough saw the be-
ginning of Tie decline Of his brilliant for
tunes.
THE History of John Bulr' was a sa-
tire on the political events preceding the
treaty of Utrecht in 1713, written by Ar
buthnot In 170l he had been created ply
stefan extraordinary 10 the Queen in recog-
milton of his services in saving the life Of
Anne's husband, Prince George of Den
mark. He had become the Queens medi-
cal attendant. a position of no mean i'm.
portant at time when so much depended
on the succession to the crown, and he
was closely in touch with court life.
For the better understanding OF the
following history, the reader ought TO
know thai Bull, in the main, was an hon
est plain-dealing fellow, choleric, bold ana
of very inconstant temper He dread
cd not old Lewis, either at backsword sin
gle falchion or cudgel play, but then he
was very apt to quarrel with his best
friends, especially if they pretended to
govern him; IL you iattered him you might
lead him Ike a child. Johns temper de-
pended very much on the air; his spirits
rose and fell with his weather glass.
John was quick and understood his
business very well, but no man alive wa.
more careless in looking into his accounts
or more cheated BY partners"

Clothes Ignited by an OIL Stove, and
She Will Probably Die.

She Will Probably Die.
Macon, Ga, May IA frightful acct
dent occurred this morning at o'clock
at boarding house on First street, kept
by Mrs. George T. Lawrence, which may
result in the death of Mrs. Anne OrmeS 20
years of age.
Mrs. Orme, who was boarding at the
house, had lighted a kerosene oil stove in
her room, and by some means the fire
was communicated. to her dress. She
screamed and enveloped in flames ran into
the hallway
Wilbur Lawrence ran to her and threw
a rug about her, but she forced him sway.
Lawrence then caught her in his arms
and placed her In a bath tub, turned on
the water and soon quenched the fire.
Mrs Orme is terribly burned. Her back
and limbs are blackened, and the skin is
crisp Blistered from head to loot, she
suffered intense agony until opiates made
her insensible to pain. Her recovery is i'm
probable.

for the reception and entertainment of the
125 or $50 delegates who will attend. This
figure is rather a small attendance, sbut
a large attendance of the laity is
not expected at this time on ac-

different houses in the city, where they

hand, have gone thoroughly into detail.

pews in st. Johns Church, where the con-
vention will meet, will be placarded as is
done at the meetings of the general con-
vention, the placards indicating the name
of the parish represented by the dele
gates who sit around that post. This will
make things quite easy for the president
of the convention, Bishop Nelson. who
must recognize each speaker addressing
him.
st. Johns Church is being put in good
order, and when the work is completed
as 1t will be in few days, it will present
an elegant appearance. In the parish
building will be located the postoffice de-
partment, the telephone, a telegraph ness
enger and the general bureau of Informal

also be five or six divisions for the diff

CAN SEE THINGS GROW.
The Tall Story London Paper Tells
About Recent German
Invention.

The farmers wall about bad wealth

dead letter, says London Tit-Bits.
Prof. Sclinck. of Stuttgart, Ger.
many, says that he cannot only grow
your vegetables while you wait-right
from the seeds 20 the full-blown cab
bage or lettuce as the case may be
but can also rear the newborn calf
into the prime healthy OK in few
hours.
In the case of the vegetable king
dom, scientists have long been on the
verge of the professors discovery. 1t
has long been known that if potash
were applied to potatoes the seed
yielded more than double the quanti-
ty, and, which is more important, that
disease seemed to disappear.
Now, Prof. Schinck, not only uses
potash, but mixes it with albumen.
The exact process is not yet known.
You call at, say, midday, and in your
presence he will plant a cabbage seed
in a substance which looks like red
earth.
Then he will take the newly-born
calf, which again you can supply, and
commence injecting his concoction
into it.
know it is hard to believe, but you
can actually see the plant and animal
growing, and by $3.50 the cabbage will
be full-grown, and the calf about the
size of a healthy 18-month animal.

MALE DOLLS.
They Form Only Five Per Cent. OF the
l. Total, But Many of Them
f,i,: :. Have Character.

OF the doll population males form
perhaps five per cent. and females
IS per cent. Many dolls are capable
of passing as either, according to the
way in which they are dressed, but
in some the male sex is indicated by
parting their hair on the side. An
other popularity about boy dolls is
that a great many of them represent
types. Many sailor dolls are sold,
some of them logged out in white
flannel suits of the regulation cut and
with the broad top sailor hats, making
very trim and jaunty figures. There
are dolls, dressed as Little Lord
Fauntleroys. There is boy doll
known from it's dress as marquis,
and there is farmer boy, standing
with his suspenders over his shoulders
and wearing straw hat, very pretty
figure indeed. There are many har-
lequin figures and many Santa Clauses
and many negro boys, these including
dolls Of worsted. Some boy dolls and
girl dolls are sold together in pairs.
There is. for instance. couple known
as the bride and bridegroom; another
pair is known as Uncle Sam and the
Goddess of Liberty, says the New York
Sun.
Among more conventional styles
there are boy dolls dressed as little
men and wearing derby hats, and boy
dolls dressed as old men and as call
dren, and then there are handsome big
boy dolls dressed in silks and satins.
Boy dolls are sold at all sorts of
prices. Sailor boys, for instance, cost
at retail from rs cents to five dollars
each.
