DEATH OF JoHN:L. SHEA

There died in Macon's poor house a
day or two ago man once prominent
and well known in commercial circles
in that CITY but who, in his declining
years, was driven to bitter poverty by
men whom he deemed honest AID who
robbed him of his possessions. 1t was
the old story of confidence betrayed;
of an honest man who fell among
ingrates and was robbed of his little all
and made pauper His money went
to clothe their worthless backs, which
were finally turned upon him IN his
poverty and distress.
The story of the poor tailor, Shea' Is
told in the Telegraph as follows:
The death of John LShea at the Rotf
Home-the countys asylum for the
poor-is a matter of passing interest.
He lived to be something more than
three score and ten, his last days being
wretched enough Mr. Shea was
tailor and an artist at his trade The
very mention of his name must bring up
to our older citizens recoleetions of the
DAYS when the beaux of Macon and
Middlel Georgia regarded him as the
arbiter of fashion
He lived and worked IN that period
of our social life when men were fastI-
dious as to their garments, when there
was individuality in dress, and when
the man IN new suit was subjected to
critical comment upon his apparel
Nowadays most of us wear garments
made in Eastern factories. SO far as
ones dress is concerned, one may
not distinguish the man of New Or
leans from the man of New York, or
the man of Baltimore from the man of
San Francisco. We all look alike Yet
in Shea's early time, the provincial
dress was so characteristic that these
distinctions could readily be made. 1t
cost money to wear clothes when his
goose" was active on the lap board,
for each customers taste had to be re-
garded.
Shea was the Poole of Macon the
very YIgo of Disraell's story
But in the evolution of things indus
trial. he was driven out of business, for
we have learned to live more cheaply
We can now be comfortably and ele-
gantly dressed for a comparatively tri
fling expenditure, because of economy
in the manufacture 1t Is true enough
that men still have their measures
taken, and that Shea has his prosper
GUS successors, even in his old home,
but it is not the rule as once it was
The women cling to individuality far
more than the men.
Il was pitiable to see Shea, in his old
age, crippled aud financially ruined,
merely surviving in a generation that
knew of him only as tradition He
should have had happier fate than a
death in the poor house He was gen.
erous in his affluence, but suffered
much injustice, which he bore with lit
tie complaint 1t is strange enough
that society is not more kindly than it
is in its relations to those who have
been good and helpful to it. But it is
soc1ety's way It forgets the favors of
yesterday The mill, ''as the old song
says, will never grind with the water
that is past
Mr.. Shea will be given decent
burial, but that is about all the lonely
old man has gained after long life of
industry. The lesson of his life is one
that only Victor Hugo could adequate
" interpret And yet there is many an
other.

 The royal party arrived at the ball. room shortly before 9 o'clock, and after the grand march and royal quadrille the king and queen ascended the throne while the courtiers and princes mingled with the merry crowd of dancers. There were many beautiful masks seen on the floor, some of them novel in the extreme. The prince and the pauper were represented while hobos, baseball play CTS, the genial Irishman and other fa- miliar characters mingled In the maze of the waltz. The most popular little lady was a charming little miss, whose costume was made of Age-Heralds, dex- teriously converted into a fetching dress and cooked hat.
 The music was furnished by Gramb's Orchestra and the following programme was rendered:

 q can truthfully say the result has far exceeded my expectations. She is now hearty, well, and can run and play as other children do. l am trying an ex- pertinent this summer on leaving out meat altogether for breakfast and using Grape Nuts food instead. Thus far we have all been unusually well, and my men rolks (we are famers) say that they do not get hungry so quick when they use Grape Nuts food as they used to when ttev had meat"
