But we put aside all these circumstantial facts. We are content with the assurance that Sarah began life by playing "Little Eva.” • We thought she had escaped, but It seems fated. Winston Spenser Churchill, the Britisher, will be more Jealous than ever since his American namesake has created such a stir In politics. : THE GEORGIAN COMES TO I GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE “Porteus, there la a proverb thou shouldst read: 'When flatterers meat, the Devil goes to dinner.’* —Peter Pindar. A Fair, Brave Editor. Henry M. McIntosh, of The Albany Herald, I* said to have presided fairly and Impartially over the Albany dobate. . Of course he did. Who that knows him would have expected him to do otberwtsaT The brave old Scotchman who edits The Albany Herald la always on one side or the other. He Is a frank, brare partisan, but he la above all things an bon' est man and a square one, and If he bad been twice na eager In hla partisanship of Clark Howell, be would still have been an eminently fitting man to do Impartial Jus tice between Clark Howell and Hoke Smith. There are men built after the pattern of Editor Mc Intosh. whom the world does not understand. The world Is made up of so many partisans, rank and violent, that they find it dlmcult to understand a man who can carry fairness along with his preferences. The partisans would have been delighted to have had Henry McIn tosh follow hla owo predilections and rule In favor of hla candidate. There are those who will criticise him for being fair and attribute It to weakness and protest the Integrity of hts convictions, but men tike Henry McIn tosh can always laugh to acorn the Idle complaints and stings of those who are themselves too mad with parti sanship to recognize the truth or the merits of the other side. The time will come when McIntosh and men like him who demand the right to be fair and Juat In their discriminations will be vindicated In the judgment and admiration of their fellow men when qolay and unrea sonably partisans with their hasty and heated decisions have passed from the memory of men. Of course Henry McIntosh la fair. He was not only fair on the stage, but he was fair In the columns 'of his paper. He recognized the obligation upon him as an editor aa fully as he did hla obligation aa a presiding officer. As a presiding officer. It was hla duty to be passionless and Judicially fair between both aides who hnd agreed upon him as the ruling officer of the day, and he rote to the measure of this expectation. A* an editor conducting a great organ of public opinion, pledged)by hla official position to tell the truth to the people of both side* who patronize It, he did not hcstltnte to give credit where credit was due, and real ized that the obligation of the editor, which wae hla chief vocntlon, transcended the obligation of the partlcan, which Is hla merely temporary assignment. We rejoice in the spirit and In the example of a man like Henry Mclntoah, In him and In hts type alone la the commonwealth rich In that character and in that justice which will establish the sound and durable things of tho futuro. And The Georgian congratulates Itself upon the fact that many of the statements made by Henry McIntosh In hts Albany Herald coincide exactly as to fact and conclusion with those which were recently written In the columns of thla paper. The pacific cltlsens of “little old New York" tried to lynch a negro In Herald square the other day. This “southern outrage" business simply refutes to stay at home. Bernhardt’s Hawkcye Parentage. The "seven rival towna" through which good old* Homer begged hla bread at least, waited until he was dead and gone before they bogan to put In their claims foe tho honor of being hla birthplace. But that was merely Homer. No such fate la to await the Divine Sarah, who was so recently In our midst. She has gone back to Paris, with her—er—wherever the keeps It—full of money, and sbo la not worrying very much as to her antecedents or where she was born. Of course ba* been generally un derstood for a long time that she wap born In Paris In 1844, of Jewish parent*, baptized In the Christian'faith, educated in a convent and made her debut at the Theater Francals at the age of 18. But all that was merely our Imperfect Information. Mr*. Lucy King, who Uvea, moves and haa aa much of being aa one can expect out In Minneapolis, contends that Sarah la her slater and was born In the little town of Rochester, Iowa. Furthermore, ahe give* It out that Sarah ran away In order to Join a company playing that Immortal drama, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," In which she represented “Little Eva." There are few actresses on the American stage, at least among those who confess to forty seasons or more, who did not begin their stage career by playing “Little Eva.” In the early days U was part of the tutelage of the stage to play "Little Eva.” No actress could ever hope to attain success unless at some period In her ca reer she had played “Little Eva." It was almost as es sential as having a past or a full set of diamonds. Bat we had thought that the Divine Sarah would be allowed to "just grow" without having to go through the Little Eva process. We had Indulged the delusion that ahe possessed so much that was extraordinary that she would be allowed to come In as an exception. Bat Bister Lucy, of Minneapolis and Rochester, Iowa, haa Intervened and In the Interest of the truth of history haa given it out that Sarah was just like all the reaL Sbe ran away to play "Little Eva," and then she went further and married a man named Bernhardt—"so that’s the way,” Says Mrs. King, conclusively, "that ahe came to be called Bernhardt” There are circumstantial stories of how Bernhardt made a clandestine visit to the little Iowa town of her birth and brought away some souvenirs from her parents’ graves, when she was over here last and how ah# drove by Mrs King’* house—Just how the daughter of Mr. King Is still "Mrs.” King does not appear—and tried to gut a look at her sitter sitting, like Hannah, at the win- Mr. Charlton’s Address on Oglethorpe. T&e members of the general assembly and the people of Atlanta bare a treat In store for them this evening when Hon. W. 0- Charlton, of Savannah, will deliver an addreas In the ball of the house on the subject of James Edward Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia. Mr. Charlton Is one of the moat gifted and eloquent members of the Savannah bar. He Is essentially a schol nr. He baa taken all knowledge for his province and ibe exqulslto culture which characterizes him finds hnppy expression In his polished and persuasive oratory. In Mb native city ho ranks among the moat charming arid effective orators, and la called upon on public occa atom of every kind. He haa been a tower of strength In supporting the movement to erect some sullablo memorial to General Oglethorpe. Under the auspices of the Daughters of the Revolution a persistent effort has been made to erect such a monument to the memory of the founder of the Georgia colony. The sum of $10,000 hfiB already been raised, but $16,000 more la necessary to carry out tho dealgn now proposed and this sum the assembly la asked to appropriate. The man and the occasion meet when Mr. Charlton appear* before such an audience na that which'will as semble thla evening to'discuss tho life and times of Ogle thorpe. The founder of Georgia was one of the most re markable men of bis time. The ninety years of hla llfo were spent amidst scenes which It falla to the lot of but few men to witneas—all of which he saw and great part of which he was. In letters he was the Inti mate associate of Dr. Johnson. In war he was the com' panlon of Prince Eugene. And when the death of friend In debtors’ prison first turned hts attention to the Injustice and abuse of that Infamous system, he devoted himself to the amelioration of their condition with the seal and determination which marked everything he did. From the day when he landed In Georgia, In 1T88, with a handful of colonists, until he resigned bis position to return home and straighten out his personal affairs, which had become Involved largsly through loafts he had made In behalf of tbs colony, he was the tealous and devoted friend of Georgia, her guardian and friend In peace and war. A* a soldier, a philanthropist and an administrator he had no superior If Indeed he had an equal among the colonisers of the thirteen original states. And yet we are strangely deficient In any suitable memorial to bis name and fame. Thla prolonged neglect has become our shame and reproach and It Is high time that something were done to make amends for this long oversight. The devoted women who have the matter In charge have not spared themselves in raising the fundi collected thus far, but now the time has arrived when the state, through the general assembly, should do Its part, and It la to Impress this fact upon tbe members and upon the clt liens In general that Mr. Charlton will apeak this eve ning. It will be an Intellectual treat to hear him and we feel sure that he will have the large audience he so eml nently deserves. Mr. Rockefeller may decide to reduce hla own sen tence to transportation. An Atlanta Magazine. For reasons both personal and general, Tho Georgian finds much pleasure In the evidences of substantial growth and prosperity on the part of The Altruist Msgs sine. Tbe Altruist Is a quiet msgsxlne of phllanthropy-and sociological endeavor established a little over two years ago, wjth Mr. W. Woods Whits as editor-in-chief and Mr, J. D. Cleaton as managing editor. Without pretense and without garish exploitation, this little periodical has won Its way steadily and (lowly by tbe merit of Its motives, the consistency of Its meth ods, and the loftiness of IU principles of life and advo cacy. At this time The Altruist baa reached a self-sus taining basis, and the very truthful gentlemen who con trol It make the statement that It Is growing steadily at the rats of two hundred subscribers a month. This Is not a sensational growth, but It Is a steady evidence of Increasing support and confidence, and of the steady development of the noble and altruistic sen timent Which Jho magazine pleads In Us monthly Issues. There Is no end of Individuality In this periodical and no man ever- reads It without an uplift to hla philanthropy, his religion, and hla patriotism. Because we know that the state and our present day society cannot fall to be benefited and bettered by the continued life and Increasing prosperity of this high toned periodical, The Georgian unhesitatingly wishes It an erer-lncreailng Hat of subscribers and a life contin ued beyond the generation In which we live. The friends and admirer* of the Hon. Richard Rus aell, of Winder, are preparing to give “plain Dick" on Saturday next an llluatratllon of the honor which one prophet haa In hla own country, and so the people of Winder, which la In the center of three counties, la pre paring a monster celebration of "plain Dick’s" arrival at 2 o'clock on Saturday next . A Virginia Guest. Henry St. qeorge Tucker, president of the James town Exposition, scholar, orator and Virginia genUeman, Is a guest of Atlanta today. He la welcome to the city which has received so rich an addition to Us civic and social wealth from the great state which he represents. He Is welcome as the evangel of a great enterprise which Is designed to revive the ancient memories of our republic and the modern glo ries of our slater commonwealth on the Potodmc, and he should be royally welcomed by the statesmen of Georgia In their general assembly when he rises to speak to them of matters and of memories which are of Interest and of nearness to them both. MR. SEELV8 RECOVERY. The recent return of Mr. F. L. Seely alter an absence and Illness of several weeks, haa caused many expres sions of genuine rejoicing among hla wide circle of friends, and especially among the staff and employees of Mr. Seely's paper. The Atlanta Georgian. The Golden Age covets the privilege of obeying the sacred Injunc tion: “Rejoice with them that do rejoice.'’ Frederick L Seely deserves everlasting honor from bis fellowmen for bptng tbe unselfish projector of a great dally paper with Ideals high and columns dean—Bowing like a pure gulf stream through dally Journalism and blessing wherever it touches-—The Golden Age.

While here he declared that America!) men were far Inferior to Englishmen as lovers and sweethearts and he haa signalised his arrival at Boston by declaring that men are su perior to women. “Tell me," he says, "one single in stance In which woman has proven hernelf the qunl or superior of man. I am willing to be convinced. Where Is the woman pianist who can equal Pad erewski? Who are our greatest poets? Men, not women. You know that au thla talk about the equality of the sexes Is rubbish. I believe In speaking the truth. It la silly to nurse delusions. Women run my papers devoted to women’s Interests splendidly, but as a rule I am restricting women's work. Instead of Increasing It." AutomoblUtls ta the latest fatal dis ease. Dr. Charles A. Tinker Is dead, a victim of exctsslvt automobile rid ing.

Dr. Tinker was 61 years old. Impure milk, It was declared, today Is responsible for the alarming death rate among babies In Greater New York. Startling statistics from the state board of heaRh show that more than three times as many children between 12 months and 2 years die dally In Great-' er New York than In the rest of the state. The death rate of children one year In New York city Is <6.66 per cent of the total for the state, and for children 1 to 6 yean old, 76.2 per cent. This excessive death rate cannot be wholly accounted for by the congestion of the tenement districts, the lack of air and sanitary conditions. • The explanation Is Indicated by the large number of deaths from disease due to germ polluted milk, and the greater mortality from these diseases aa compared with the rest of the state.
