To Put Railings on the Porticos.

Steps are at last to be taken to pre-
vent any more people from falling off
the north and south pOrticos to the state
house. The new executive council held
a meeting last evening and instructed
superintendent Nelson and Treasurer
Grimes to confer with the ways and
means committee of the house to Sc
cure an appropriation for that purpose.
At present there are no funds available
for the building of railings. AS soon as
an appropriation is made the executive
council will let the proposition for bids.
The idea is to bufl1 an iron railing along
the sides of the north and south porti-
cos. The east and west porticos already
have them. Another improvement that
is contemplated by the council is the
flooring of the corridors on the main
floor with tiling, as the rotunda of the
third floor is now tiled.

of Mrs. Adams Poisoner.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The Evening
Journal today offers $1,000 reward for
any clue or information that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
murderer in the Adams poisoning case.
The Evening Journal says the police
believe a certain man is guilty, but
that this man is so hedged around with
intelligence, legal ability and wealth
that it has been impossible to secure
positive evidence.
The Evening Journal offers the re-
ward, it says, so that a man may not
commit the most cowardly and dan
gerous of murders and escape, provid-

CROKER GROWS PATRIOTIC
Says America Can Do Things That
Other Nations Cannot Do.

New York, Jan. 28,-Richard Croker,
discussing the subject of expansion last
night, said:
WHICH, one might say, but century
ago, was a primeva1 wilderness, In
habited by savageS as unprOmiSing at
least as the Filipinos. What people but
the American people could have done
this? None. 1 have faith in America S
capacity to do anything that any other
nation can do-and to do things that no
other nation could do
What would you think of an alliance
with England or some other power to
carry out the American policy?"
Il am opposed to such alliances and
SO far as / know the sentiment of every
mar in the political organization to
which belong, is opposed to them. And
/ will say this, that my mind is perfect
ly open to consider events and condi-
tions as they may develop and if at
any time it appeared that expansion
meant alliances with England or any
other European power, I would be op-
posed to expansion.
My opinions in favor of expansion
are based upon the assumption that no
power could interfere with US and no
combination can be made against US
necessitating an alliance with any Euro
pean power"
England seems to think alliance with
her would be necessary"
England deceives herself. 1t is not
the first time she has made miscalcula-
tions about America. America in the
past has not needed her menaces as in
the civil war, or her cajoleries as in
other epochs and in my judgment it is
those who are in favor of expansion
who are the strongest bulwark against
the danger of any foreign alliance.
L notice, however, among the Op-
popents of expansion the names of men
who have been generally at the front
forming measures toward making
American sentiment trustful and fav-
0Fable to England"

The following tribute and resolutions
were adopted by the Macon Methodist
Sunday Schools
Judge H, W. Foote. cur much loved
and honored superintendent. is no more.
On Sunday morning, Jan. 20, 1899, he
was summoned to join the host of the
redeemed, whose robes have been
washed and made white in the blood Of
the lamb. For fifty -six years he was
the faithful Sup t Of this school. His
fidelity was answering, his interest and
zeal increasing as he grew older. He
never allowed anything except sickness
or absence from home to keep him from
being prompt in attendance. thus being
an example to both teachers and pupils,
until the inirmities of age rendered it
impossible. He then. in tender, loving
words, offered his resignation to tn,
Quarterly Conference, but the School
protested against accepting it, because
we wanted MIN to enter heaven as our
Superintendent.
Among his last and best gifts to the
School was an organ and two doz. chairs
for the Infant - class room, and a be.
quest which stands as a memorial to the
ever faithful and loving friend Of the
children.
Whereas his place has become vacant,
we would pay this loving tribute to his
loyalty to the church, his fidelity to du-
ty and cherish his memory in or hearts.
Resolved, That this Sunday School
has sustained an irreparable loss, the
Borrowing family is bereft of a loving
husband and father, and Macon Of one
Of her best and most worthy citizens.
Resolved, That to his loved ones We
tender u deepest sympathies, sharing
their sorrows, but rejoicing in the hope
Of everlasting life which is promised to
the faithful.
Resolved. That a page in our minutes
