"The Man Of the Hour"

A throng which filed nearly every seat in
the Augusta Opera house gathered Tues
day evening to see Lillian kemble and
Charles Mackay in 1.-The Man Of the
Hour, attracted by the names of the
brilliant stars and by the fame Of book
md play.
"The Man of the Hour" as has been
MANY times reiterated. and as its title
indicates, deals with the problems Of the
strenuous game of politics as played IN
the larger American cities Alwyn Ben

ID, the granting of a street railway fran
chise comes to the fore, and its passage
takes Place when Bennett has assumed
his seat in the mayors chair, after MAX
ing 4 brilliant and successful campaign.
Perceiving the inquities of the franchise,
which gives to the company practical
ownership of the street above and below,
Bennett getoes the measure in spite Of
the fact that he has been warned by
Horrigan that the financial ruin of the
WainWrishts will he the result. The veto

unexpected good. and the play closes with

The feminine portion of the audience,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUILD.
ING,

Secretary H. P. Wood of the local
Chamber of Commerce has sent out
two hundred letters to that many other
chambers of commerce throughout the
Union, asking for information regard
ing the advantages of such organza-
tions owning and occupying their own
buildings. He has also requested in
formation on building plans and the
methods adopted by the various cham.
bers in raising the amounts required
for building. Mr.. Wood is very anx.
ious to see the local chamber in a
proper building of its own and thinks
that one to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000 would be about right.

SAW HIMSELF CARVED.
Watched Removal of His Appendix,
but Felt No Pain.

but CAV 1No oAas
Serious operations performed upon
a patient who retains full conscious
ness and watches the surgeon carving
his flesh without the least discomfort
are now said to be possible by means
of new local anesthetic. A pin prick
that accompanies the "lumbar pune
ture'' is all the pain. The patient is
enabled to witness the saving off of
both legs, if need be, without winking
an eyelash. Perhaps most patients
would rather not see such things and
would prefer Inconsistencies, but it is
possible for them to remain conscious
and nook the other way or have n
screen interposed between their eyes
and the seat of operation.
"They wheeled me into the operat-
ing theater on long barrow" says a
patient, in The Grand Magazine, who
experienced the local anesthesia. 81
