Summer Stock at Grand.
The George Fawcett Stock Company
begins an Indefinite engagement at the
Grand Monday night, when "The Hen
rietta" will be presented.
It was to present just those high-
class plays of which “The Henrietta,'
•'Friends'* and "The Cowboy and the
Lady" are examples, that the company
was secured. It speaks well of the cal
iber of the company that so high-class
a comedy la used for the opening bill.
“Henrietta'' la the name of a mining
and land company, a ballet dancer,
a race horse and the witch of Wall
street. During the action of the |
these four get hopelessly mixed am
a result there are any number of laugh
able complications.
Miss Rose Curry came across the
continent to essay the leading role In
this play. Regan Hughston, one of the
best known stock actors In the com
pany, will have the role made famous
by Stuart Robson, and critics who have
seen him In the part say that the play
does not suffer by comparison. Amoni
the others to be seen In the cast wll
be DeWltt Jennings, Frank Craven,
Frank Johnson, Stuart Bebee, George
Schrader. Sydney Parsons, Ethel Con
roy and Grace and Phyllis Sherwood.

Mary Marble, at the head of a well-
known company, will present “The

for seats for this entire engagement,
but there are a number of good loca
tions still obtainable.
There will be a great many special
ties. In which the stars will appear, and
which will Introduce other members of
the company who will bid for favor.
Much Interest has been manifested in
the enterprise of the engagement In es
tablishing the Casino orchestra. Fif
teen selected musicians make up this
new organisation, and under the direc
tion of Professor Matthlessen they have
developed Into quite a feature of the
Casino.

With the Casino In full operation and
St. Nicholas Auditorium more popular
than ever, beautiful Ponce DeLeon
Park is now fairly on Its way for the
summer season. All of the amusements
are In perfect and pleasing operation,
and are enjoying more attention than
has been recorded.
A moat pleasing feature to this place
Is the fact that though It Is operated
by a private corporation. It Is one of the
handsomest places of rest In Greater
Atlanta. There are seats and there Is
Plenty of shelter to care for thousands,
without the cost of a cent A magnifi
cent brass band, under the direction
"I J. P. Matthlessen, plays twice dally,
and In the main shelter building a
wonder musical Instrument keeps up a
continual strain of the newest popular
music.

Picnic grove, and park attendants will
be on duty to give the little ones at
tention.

AN OLD ADACE
SAYS—-w.
“A light purse Is a heavy curse”
Sickness makes ■ light purse.
The LIVER Is the seat of nine
tenths of all disease.
Tutt'sPills
go to the root of the whole mat*
ter, thoroughly, quickly sately
and restore the action of the
LIVER to normal condition.
Give tone to the system and
solid flesh to the body.
Take No Substitute.
Reported That Southern
Deal Has Failed to
. Materialize.
The Indications now are that If the
Seaboard Air Line wants a road Into
Atlanta from Macon In order to con
tinue Its new acquisition—the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah to this city—It
must build an entirely new line.
Those In a position to know, say
such a proposition Is hardly among the
P re « ent - When Preel-
dent Finley, of the Southern, spoke In
S u"i e i ,m ® “S® he said the
southern had offered the Seaboard both
and trackage privileges over the
Southern between Macon and Atlanta.
i ne Seaboard, according to President
r inlay, has declined to accept the prop
osition made by the Southern regarding
the use of Its tracks for Seaboard
trains, and the second proposition of
sending freight and passenger traffic
over the Southern from Macon on
southern trains Is now being consld-
Slnce the Seaboard acquired the M.,
D. & S. road It gave the Seaboard a
«hort line from Macon to Savannah,
and If It had a short road Into Atlanta
It would be In a position to gather In a
big slice of the traffic from Atlanta to
Savannah by reason of having a much
shorter and quicker schedule.
At present the Atlanta, Grlffln and
Macon Electric Railway Company Is
building, or Is about to build, a line
from Atlanta to Macon and as this
route Is between the Southern and the
Central there Is no other available
route for the Seaboard to select In case
a road would be built. The new trolley
line Is -being built along the lines of a
steam road, with few curves and a
slight grade, so that when completed It
will make an Ideal Bteam route.

Fields Reported by
Railroad Men.
According to reports now circulating
In railroad circles, J. H. Winder, a well-
known railroad man. formerly with the
Seaboard Air Line In Atlanta, will In

an Interests, which will build a trunk
line Into Atlanta tor the purpose of de

formed and Is headed by Thomas
Ryan, and Includes such men as
Jefferson Coolldge of the Old Colony
Trust Company: Norman B. Beam, of
New York, and George L. Carter, of
Johnson City. Tenn. This syndicate,
It Is said, controls thousands of miles
of road In the South, and wilt use these
and the new rood to be built to Atlanta
to develop the property and- ship the
coal to all parts of ths United States.
In addition, ports on the Atlantic will
be used at Wilmington, N. C., Charles
ton and Savannah.
The trunk line through Atlanta will

being constructed, and connections will
be made with the Chesapeake and Ohio,

Line.
