NIGHT CONCERTS END BUT AT GRANT PARK No more, at least for some months, will those addicted to moonlight strolls through Grant pnrk listen to the music of the band. Superintendent Myers said Thurs day: "The night concerts have been done away with for this year. The Sunday afternoon music will continue through out September. The money appropri ated for music In the park Is getting low, and to have the band on Sunday afternoon throughout September we will have tn give up the evening con certs." During the hot afternoons and close evenings of the summer the music him been enjoyed by thousands of citizens not so situated us to leave the city for •euslde or inounlnln-top resorts. The appropriation to this fenture of the park has probably been enjoyed more und by a greater number of citizens thun any other municipal donation to the police.

This picture shows Mrs. Harry Thaw as she appeared when about to enter the Tombs prison In New York to visit her Imprisoned husband. On her arm hangs a basket In which she daily carries to him fruit or some delicacy to tempt the palate. Mrs. Thaw's face Is now quite familiar to the prison officials and her-dally appearance within the dreary corridor docs much to cheer those who, like her husband, are kept behind the bars of cheerless cells. CUBAN REBELS AGREE TO TEN DAYS TRUCE lly Private Leased Wire.

WORK WILL SOON BEGIN ON THE MASONIC TEMPLE DEVOID JMNTEREST Only Excitement Is Where Local Contests Are Be ing Waged. Mrs. Alice N. Clark. Funeral services over the body of Mrs. Alice E. dark, wife of Dr. John ('lark, were held at the residence, 15 Forrest avenue, at 5 o'clock Wed nesday afternoon. The body was ta ken to Smlthvllle, Oa., for Interment. J. A. Scott Funeral services of J. A. Scott will be held at the residence, 19 Longley avenue, Howells Station, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Before the winter months have come around, work will start on the Masonlj temple to be erected at the corner of Peachtree and West t'alne streets. Thomas II. Morgan, of Morgan ft Dillon, the architects who drew the plans for the $2on,ooo building, stated Thursday that work of raising money to build the temple had begun again nnd that It was the expectation to break the ground before many months "There has never been any loss of In terest In raising the money," said Mr. Morgan, "hut when the exposition mat ter came up most of those working for the temple were Interested. Then the summer came on and the election, so the work was laid aside. • During the last week or ten days It has been started again. There Is about $?5,0M or $90,000 already raised and the work could start Immediately, but It Is the wish of the committee to have as little debt on the building as Is possible." The lot at the corner <4f Auburn ave nue nnd North Pryor street, which was owned by the Masons, was sold some time ago for S40JI00 and the Peachtree lot, <0 by 140 feet, was bought tor $30,- 000. The surplus, $10,000, was put In the building fund and the several local lodges raised the rest of the $80,000 as bodies. It Is probable now that private subscriptions will be accepted and if so there will be but little delay before the work has commenced. Mr. Morgan stated Wednesday that It was nlso probable that one of the niuln entrances to the building would be on Peachtree. In the plans now- complete, there are three stores on 'he Peachtree side and the main en- t-ance la on Cain street. It was the original plan to later do away with one of the stores and to make the main en trance on Peachtree, but now It Is be lieved that the center store will be don away with from the beginning. The entrance on Cain street will also remain. The building will be. when completed n«t only one of the handsomest fra ternal buildings In the South, but In every way suggestive of the organisa tion It will house This has been car ried out with such knowledge nnd ar tistic skill that even the lodge rooms will sugges* In the Interior architect ure the oiden that will occupy them.

Albany, N. Y„ Sept. 8.—It la believe that the conference of Democrats from various parts of New York state, hell here yesterday, had for Its sole’ pur . pose the, prevention of the nomination of William Randolph Hearst for the governorship. Last night some of the radicals held caucus nnd declared against u. Hearst, criticizing him severely and Indorsing Congressman William Sulier for the nomination by the Democratic state convention, which Is to be held at Buffalo. The radicals. In a statement Issued last evening, declared that the Hearst movement was Inimical to that of Mr Brynn. that Mr. Hearst Is a persona non grata to the Bryan Democrats District Attorney Jerome was a prominent figure here at the confer ence. Hls speech caused considerable 1 By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. Copyright, 1906, by American, Journal and Examiner. A N anonymous correspondent Is sending his Idea of a prayer and a blessing, with a "string tied to It," through the m^Jls. Hls prayer ends as follows: "O, Eetemal Lord, have mercy upon us and deliver us from all evil. Amen.” "At Jerusalem during holy mass a voice was heard to say: ‘They who do not write this prayer after receiving it shall be afflicted 4jy a great calamity, and he who pays no attention to It shall be punished by an accident. " ‘They who write this prayer for nine days and deliver It to persons through mall beginning the day they receive It, and sending one only each day, will receive great blessing after nine days. Don’t sign your name to it.’ ” The writer of thfe above will find hls threat a boomerang. All thoughts of evil sent out from the mind to an$* one fly hime like ravens and carrion crows to roost. The mind which conceived such an endless chuin of wrong-thlnklng needs, indeed, to cry "Deliver us from all evil." But God does not deliver us from evil if we fill our hearts with the superstition and black thought of the dark ages. The only evil Is made by the minds of men, und they must deliver them- selve# of It. No one can curse us or bring-disaster upon us> saVe'our own* selves. If I fill my mind with fear and be come weak and nervous and make no assertions to the Creator of the Uni verse, of love, faith and gratitude, but permit myself to dwell on gloomy and Ijesslmlstlc subjects, then 1 fit myself 1’or the reception of hypnotic sugges tions from some other tnlnd. I become like the man who destroys hls 'digestive powers with drink and drugs und gross foods and other bad habits, and opens the door to disease. When he falls M, it Is not "a calamity Gcd has sent upon him," but the re sult of hls own misuse of hls body. Had he lived properly he would have made It impossible for disease to gain an entrance at hls door. 1/ I think property, which means lov ingly, kindly, cheerfully and earnest ly, about life and Its responsibilities; If I wish no man evil, and all men good, and envy no one, and worship my Creator in my own way, honestly believing In that way, all the combined curses of a multitude can not reach or harm me. But every person of thnt multitude who sent me a curse, would In due sea son be afflicted In some manner. For thoughts are things, as science is proving, and the kind of thoughts we ?end forth will return to us as events. So sure as the writer of the above anonymous communication lives, he or ihe will suffer from the effect of such mental condition. 1 am sorry for tilm and will send him thoughts of reformation. We have no right to formulate any prayer for another. Each soul must roake its own petition to the Great Cause, in order to have It heard, Just we must aim our own arrow if ve would hit a* mark. There Is not an hour passes by that my heart does not send forth its pray er of gratitude to the Creator for Hls tlorlous gift of life. And added to It s the petition for strength and wis dom to use the great gift wisely and well and to keep ever In my mental foreground the knowledge that what ever comes to my lot, Joy or sorrow, gain or loss, la for the best develop ment of my character nnd must be so used. Does the writer of the anonymous prayer for one Instant imagine^ there gulshlng nil worth-while qualities in a purely selfish existence. There was a little magazine publish- ed In .San Francisco called “Now." It was devoted to ‘‘new thought." Its ed itor writes of the great calamity: "Never so strong In faith as now. Never so (Irmly fixed as now in truth and love. Never were we so very deep, ly grounded In the principles for which Now stand*. Amid all these conditions, which no pen or tongue can describe, wo have rejoiced that we have laid up our treasures In the heaven of our soul where neither moth and rust, earth quake or Are can destroy. Never did I sense as now the real possession, and zee the illusion of material things. “Never was my faith In, nnd my love for, humanity so great as now, when I have seen It tested and realized the true nobility of the men and women about me Brave, noble, generous, help ful, patient, and, above all. trustful. "Humanity stands glorified, the air filled with new thought vibrations. The thought of the advanced thinkers nf the world will crystallze here. This ?lty Is to be the psychic, the spiritual *apltnl of the nation. The civic capital s on the Atlantic coast, but this Is Its real thought and soul capital. “Not a ‘member of Now folk was Injured. We were thrown about Wed nesday morning, but by some peculiar circumstance, falling furniture did not hit any one. There were thirteen per sons in the home. “I looked at my pleasant sanctum on Thursday when we thought it, would lx saved, and said tq Jt: ‘Blessed little room. You are the pleasantest and the only one where I have things ns I wish for my work. J have been happy in you. But If it Is decreed that I must lose you, blessed are we for having each other. I got along before I hm) so will I get along now. You nix not necessary to me. I can build an other!’ After this I could have seen it bum and said: ‘All Is good!’ In this same spirit my co-workers met ecery occasion. Many times they said: i can get along without it.’ "Oh! but it was an awe-inspiring spectacle to see square miles of noble biuldings in flames. It was a moment of'Intense concentration, as we four sat on the hill together and knowing the pow’er of thought wo said of the church on Dolores street that was the crucial point: ‘It Is safe!’ Tho steeple caught Are. If that went then the fire would back up to our llune. When heroes saved It, never went a ’praise God* more devoutly than went from our hearts. To our blankets In t..e park we went and slept. The home was saved, not for us, but for tne needy. To our brothers and sisters in need, Now, Its publishers and their property Is devoted." , , This Is the religion the world needs. Not the anonymous letter, with its “or thodox" prayer and postscript of « curse—not the creed which says: "lou shall be damned If you do not worship In my way!" Away with such creeds to the ra| man! They are moth eaten. BAIL IS GRANTED TO MRS. BIRDSONG HELD FOR MUBDEB THINK MISS HADDEN TOOK REN OWN LIFE Special to The Georgian. Greenville. S. C., Sept. 6.—Later de velopments In the death of Miss Had den tend to show that the young woman shot herself, whether accidentally ol with suicidal Intent, can not be learned. .The coroner’s jury Is now sitting on the case. God so pusillanimous and re vengeful that He would send "acci dents" and "calamities" to me If I fail ed to say and send out a prayer of an other's wording? I am glad I can not conceive of such a Creator. The name of the Great Master and Teacher, Christ, was spoken several times In this prayer. That gentle being Is newly crucified by such a follower, who blasphemes In using Hls name. It would be well for many pretenders In the court of Christianity If they could realize that accidents are not always calamities, but many times blessings In disguise. A woman, famed the world over, never knew she possessed talent until she was the victim of an accident which caused her to be confined to her room for many months. The self-sup porting occupation In which she was engaged, at the time of her "calamity" was cast away as a broken reed, and on the-ranlte stairway of her discov ered taient she climbed to success and fame and usefulness. Thousands of people who suffered tn the great calamity of the Pacific coast will yet date the hour of their greatest prosperity, and their best mental and spiritual development, from that event. There Is no ralamlty for a human be ing so great as the loss of self-respect and faith la eternal justice. It Is a calamity to forget the real purpose of existence, which Is develop ment of character. In the mad rare for wealth, fame, power and worldly achievements.
