THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN’, sATCKDAV. si:item nr:n i ioo«. UNCLE- OF CZAR iNTJERECEIVED Vladimir Not Wanted at the Court of England’s Rulers. THE THEATERS HI By RICHARD ABERCORN (Copyright, 1906, by the Hearst New* Service.) London, Sept. 8.—Before *he left England to vlalt her daughter, Queen jj au ,i of Norway, Queen Alexandra la iaht io have made King Edward give her the promlae that he would Inform Gram! Duke Vladimir of Ruaala, uncle 0 j the czar, that ht» presence in this country during hla term of Lunlah- tnent from Ruaala la not wanted, and •hould he come to London he would not be received at the English court. In spite of hla fear of hla uncle, the 'czar a couple of weeks ago Issued a decree banishing Vladimir from Rus sia for one year because of hla scan dalous behavior, which defles all de scription. For many months the grand duke, who has always been the black sheep n f the Imperial family, has been In a slate of permanent Intoxication, but nothing was done to restrain hftn until he during one of hla spasms, forced hla way Into the czar's private apartments at Peterhof and threatened to knock Nicholas' head oft because the' czar had refused to make Admiral AlexlefT, the roan who was responsible for the Russo-jnpanese war, minister of ma rine In the Stolypln cabinet.. When General Trepoff, commander of the palace, tried to stop him he was thrown violently to the floor by a blow from the list of the furious grand duke, who has the strength of a giant It took the combined strength of ten of ficers and soldiers to overpower the drunken ntnn and carry him off to a cell, where he spent the night. Though the czar ordered every one to keep the afTalr secret, the czarina heard of It, and she forced her hus band to banish his uncle. Vladimir then announced his Intention of spend ing next winter In London, supposedly to study the workings of the British parliament, but really because he is afraid to go to France, which Is full of Russian refugees, any one of whom would gladly sacrifice nls own life to rid the world of Vladimir, whom they consider responsible for the czar's fail ure to grnnt a constitution to Rus sia. Now that also England Is closed to this dissipated and blood-thirsty mon ster, he can do nothing better than ask the hospitality of Leopold of Bel gium. who might take pity on him and receive him as guest at Laeken. Hopes are entertained that the treas ure ship of the Spanish Armada, which has lain for centuries at the bottom of Tobermory bay, will soon be located and Its cargo of gold and silver re covered. The latest scientific methods have been used In a search which has ex tended over centuries. Sand pumping and modern diving bells and other In genious contrivances, of which the ear lier searchers knew nothing, are being employed, and by their aid the fasci nating Spanish doubloons will once more see the light of the day. The treasure ship Florencla was 961 tons and carried 52 guns. One of the quaint traditions still current as to the sinking of the ship In the smooth waters of Tobermory attributes the dis aster to the work of the witches from the neighboring Island of Mull. These, the story runs, appeared on the spars of the vessel In the form of black cats and brought on the gale which sunk her. Aside from the traditions, It ha* defi nitely been determined that the Floren ce Is actually at the bottom of the bay. The Argyll family began the first search for the treasure about a century after the visit of the Armada, but since that time various attempts have been made and brass cannon, one of eleven feet in length and of most elaborate Workmanship, with engraving attribut ed to the great Benebenuto Cellini, money chests and stray doubloons have been found. While King Edward Is fond of wine (nls preference Is old champagne), none nf the ladles of the royal household ever drink wine. Queen Alexandra never louche* wine at the state din ners she attends, drinking nothing but "Old Innocence.' A comedy In three acts, by Richard Kingsley. ^*® on Green ....Mr. Tim Murphy Flint Green, His Brother H 7 „ • • -Mr. James Cooper Ben. His Nephew .... Mr. John Arthur Lon, hla shoemaker.Mr. Charles Dudley Joe, his butler .Mr. O. J. Griffin Frank Goodfrlend, his friend's son.. •• •; Mr. Walter G. Hess Olive, his daughter Miss Louise Whitfield Gladys, his cook ..Mrs. Aubrey Powell May, his wife ..Miss Dorothy Sherrod Tim Murphy, quaint, eccentric, lov< able in the part of Jasqn Green, as he has been In all the characters he has portrayed, appeared at the Grand Frt day night In "Old Innocence,'* sup ported by perhaps the best company with which he has ever surrounded himself. The ^performance was fin ished, even brilliant, and the play one of the most delightful ever presented by Mr. Murphy. Tim Murphy is essentially a South ern player. He Is pt the South by birth and training, he chose his wife, who has for several seasons been his eadlng woman, from Tennessee, and it has been his habit to surround him- self with Southern men and women when practicable. He has not the prestige of a two-hundred-ntght run on Broadway; he does not bear the hall mark of.the Frohmans or any of the great managers, but In the years he has visited the cities of the South he has won an Increasing host of friends who find In him those same elements which made the name of Sol Smith Russell known wherever there Is a stage. His portrayal of elderly, eccen tric characters Is delicious. They are all lovable old men—Tim Murphy could not play a villain if he would—and Jason Green Is one of the most lovable of them all. Miss Dorothy Sherrod, the leading woman. Is given but slight opportunity as the wife of "Old' Innocence,” but she Is as acceptable as she has always been, and her gowns made the women In the audience draw a deep breath. Miss Louise Whitfield, the Ingenue, Is so attractive that many a man envied the stage lover In some of their scene*. James Cooper, as the hard-hearted brother, gave a splendid Impersonation of a difficult role and fairly divided the honors wjth Mr. Murphy. John Arthur's conception of his role, the neglected son, was not a pleasing one, but his acting was thoroughly artistic. The entire company gave a finished performance, unmarred by any false note. The engagement continues Sat urday afternoon and night. DUDLEY GLASS. The Grand will be dark next week until Friday night, when "Foxy Grand- billed as a ‘‘musical comedy for children of all ages,” will begin Its engagement of two evenings and Sat urday matinee. The popularity of the "Foxy Grandpa" pictures In the comic supplements and the success which has attended the dramatization of "Buster Brown" and other members of the Sun day morning picture colony should re sult In drawing a representative au dience.

Jamea Mclptyre, of the old team of McIntyre and Heath, now appearing as Joint stars In "The Ham Tree," learned the other day that he had fall en heir to! a large fortune. Mr Mc Intyre explains that several years ago when he was In Australia with the Georgia Minstrels, since elaborated In to "The Ham Tree,” he was able to render a very substantial service to an expressions of congratulation. McIn tyre Inquired with'surprise what It all meant. He has been married for a number of year* and the felicities could not have been extended to hilt- as a benedict. The visitor explained that the congratulations were due to Mr. McIntyre's having Inherited a large amount from a certain rich In dividual In Australia. As the actor was In a hurry to go on, he pinned the man's card to his dressing table, requesting him to call again and at the same time promising to visit the Australian the next day at his hotel. McIntyre say* that when he returned both tne card and the vis itor were gone and he has not been able to locate him since. The story of the old man's death has-been veri fied. He passed away In a home for the old and Infirm at Sydney. The only trouble Is they cannot find the money. ^ Nat Goodwin has begun rehearsals of "The Genius,” a farcical comedy, written by W. C. and Cecil de Mille, sons *of the late Henfy C. de Mille. It proved a popular piece for Mr. Good win on his tour to the Pacific coast last spring. It was then- known as "The Genius and the Model." During .Mr. Goodwin's season he will also present Paul Armstrong's one-act character study. "In a Blase of Glory." Later In the season he will present "Sierra,” another play also written for him by Mr. Armstrong. In Mr. Goodwin’s company will be Neil O'Brien, Robert Paton Gibbs, Edna Goodrich and Louise Randolph. An amusing Incident occurred dur ing the progress of a picture show at Altoona, Pa., tho other evening. The film represented a mob In pursuit of a malefactor. It was a very exciting chase, and a young farmer In the nu- dlence got so worked up that when the. villain became Impaled In a picket fence he rushed toward the stage In an effort to assist him. It took sev eral ushers to make tho Jtir.net- un derstand that the show wSi only pic tures. the Scotch whisky the physician or ders. While the prince of Wales, like his father, the king, Is fond of champagne, and Isn't averse to the flavor of Scotch whisky, the princess of Wales taboos all alcoholic beverages. The princess recently summarily discharged a gov erness who permitted her son, the lit tle Prince Edward, to sip a glass of claret at the governess' luncheon. The princess is bringing up her children to taboo wine and all alcoholic bever ages. Princess Patricia of Connaught and her sister never taste wine, while an other royal teetotaller Is the duchess of Argyll. The duchess of Sutherland and many other titled ladles are prohibi tionists.

(Copyright, 1906, by the Hearst News Service.) Paris, Sept. 8.—King Alfonso Is an observant young monarch, as many things have gone to prove. He has Just Inquired of a friend In Paris for news of a certain kitchen-garden In the Rue Guy de Maupassant. He no- tlced this "potager" • on arriving In Paris at the station of the Porte Dau- phlne. It Is situated on the side of the line between the Rue* Guy de Maupassant and Eugene Lahlche, and la cultivated by a railway pointsman. Its well-ordered lines of excellent veg etables astonished the king, and ns It appears, he has never forgotten It. It Is at present a very pleasing, spec tacle, with Its cabbage, artichokes, sal ads, beetroots and radishes, and the proprietor Is pushing forward his mel ons, the first of which he Intends to present to hJs Spanish majesty, while the finest bunch of grapes this autumn Is to be sent to Queen Victoria. When the government wlsbes to con fer a favor on the widow or the orphan of a deceased officer,or civil function ary, It accords her the concession of tobacco shop. The minister of finances has Just had the list drawn up for pre sentatlon to parliament of the tobacco shops, which he • granted last year. There are 286 of them, and anions the beneficiaries are the widows of two deputies, and two senators, a musical composer, an admiral, a general of brigade, two presidents of courts of law, an ex-minister, a public prosecutor and others. ■ Besides these widows, the following Individuals among others have been given tobnero shops—an ex actress of the Comedle Francalse, the daughter of a "proscrlt," the father of seventeen children and the father of a non-commissioned officer murdered In Madagascar. & Jules Forget, aged 28, a Mason at ■sonnes, near Corbell, who accom plished his first period of military ser vice In 1903, was shortly afterwards run over by a tramway and lost his leg. Last month he received order* to rejoin hla regiment and presented him self at the gendarmerie to demonstrate his Incapacity. The worthy officer on duty, however, ho could not get beyond the rules. In formed him that he could do nothing In the matter as long as he did not bring n doctor's, certificate. So Jules presented himself at the barracks yesterday, greatly to the sur prise of the officers, when willing enough, and as active as circumstances would allow, he hobbled along In the ranks with a wooden leg. Naturally, he was sent home again. The campaign against feathers In ladles' hats has now. reached France. The most humanitarian of ladles have, naturally, been a trifle doubtful of Ihe success of the movement, In spite of Its high patronage—In view of the fact that everything In regard to female fashion still follows the lead of Paris. But now we have here taken up the matter In which London, New York, Berlin and Amsterdam has already moved, and a league exists, whose ob ject It Is to combat the slaughter of young birds for 'feminine adornment. The president of the league Is a young lady named Mile. Marguerite des Vurennes, who Is the secretary of the "Revae des Anlmaux lllustrees." and who, assisted by a few friends, rounded It. Their Idea Is not to trou ble the legislature or the authorities, but to endeavor to Influence public opinion, and first of all, to Interest the modistes In the movement. One point gained Is the fact that all who have heard about the matter seem to be surprised that hats ran be made so at tractive without birds* feathers.

I wrote my book, 'The Strug gle,' for the avowed purpose of placing John D. Rockefeller In the peniten tiary."—Tapp. The man who put John D. Rockefel ler In the penitentiary—In a novel la a lawyer of Atlanta, Ga. He Is likewise the man who exposed Tom Taggart’s gambling. Joint In French Lick Springs, resulting In the prosecution of the chairman of the Democratic national committee. The Georgia author says he expects Ills book to revolutionize American sen timent to such an extent that the Standard Oil magnate will get In reali ty what hls counterpart In the novel got—not,less than 20 years. The pictures drawn In Tapp.'s novel are so sharp and dear that they are easily recognized. For instance, John Suekelow, with neither hair nor "eye brows and able to eat only crackers and milk, and one of the greatest com mercial pirates tlv» world hqs ever seen, has been identified by the critics as John D. Pont Slogan & Co.’s office, where all the villainy was perpetrated, has been recognized as a very good picture of the headquarters of J. Plerpont Mor gan, Wall street, New York. J. Ogden Armour has a double In the book, and It is said that the people of North Carolina have Identified one of the characters as John B. Duke, the tobac co trust man. It is also said that the people «»f Georgia have recognized a similarity between John Horton, of the novel, and Hamilton McWhorter.'the "Bill Phelps" of the Southern railway. The novel has created n sensation throughout the , South. It Is a terrible arraignment of the trusts and trust masters, whose com mercial tyranny Is depicted with great force by the author of the novel. The book ta called “l\hc Struggle,’’ and It starts out by picturing the beau tiful home of a Blue Grass farmer surrounded by the happiness that should be hls under normal commer cial conditions. Then .the story shows the results of "trustlsm,” and with fine strokes of sarcasm draws characters that are readily recognized as the heads of several of the country’s greatest combinations of capital. The author Is making no verification or denial of Identifications. It Is said that a man who thinks he Is the origi nal of one of the characters In the book has threatened to prqsecute the author. It would be a back-handed stroke of fate If a book written for the avowed purpose of sending the trust magnates to the penitentiary should land Its author In Jail. "The book Is a problematical novel dealing with the industrial and com mercial condition* of our times,” said Tapp. "I wrote It to show up the Infamy of the trust magnates, and to prove, by deduction, that the Anglo- Saxon race Is capable of s|df-govern- ment. of course, It has n love story, but around that Is woven the facta that deal with our times.

F. JACKSON, ATLANTA Manage* Nat F. Jackson, of the Fidelity Mutual.

The application was secured by Mr. Arllne, of Savannah, who rtcently became Mr. Jackson's partner in the management, and the amount of the policy Is 150,000. The Insured is a well-known financier of Savannah, and in payment of tho premium he gave hls Check for the ump sum of $25,362. No farther pay ments will have to be made on the policy. A life Insurance policy of an equal amount was also written this week In Atlanta by Manager John S. Cowles, of the Metropolitan Life, who, until early this year, was executive special agent of the Mutual Life, and who, since go ing with the Metropolitan, has reor ganized the Atlanta force until it is the strongest office that company boasts In the South. The policy men tioned was on the life of a business man of large Interests,, whb took the policy ns a special protection to hls creditors, a practice that is now meet ing with great favor all over the coun try. The annunl premium on this pol icy is $3,100. Mr. Cowles has steadily held first place as regards business written personally among all the agents of the company In the United States nnd Canada, which, considering that the company has nearly one million workers, Is a striking tribute to the quality of men that are attracted to Atlanta us a business center.
