TRIBUTE PAID TO DEAD BY MEMBERS OF FULTON 4 a .recent meeting' of Fulton FULTON LODGE HAD SPLENDID MEETING; NEW CLUB STARTED Fulton Lodge No. S3, I. O. O. F., tnet lust Friday nlirht at the hall, cor ner of Moore and Decatur afreets, with a large attendance. Fulton Lodge la having a very pros perous term, the third club having started through. The lodge 1ms one of the best halls In the city und can boast of being the only lodge In the city that owns Its own hall. Much interest Is being manifested In tha work of the lodge. At the present rate that applications are coming In the membership will be materially Increased by the first of the year. Lodge, Odd Fellows, resolutions sympathy were adopted oh the death of three well known members of the lodge, the late C. D. Camp, assistant United States district attorney; O. W. Wilson and B. ^ Hartline: ■The resolution* follow: C. D. Camp, To Fulton Lodge, No. 32, I. O. O. F.: Today we are called upon to cast our eyes to th£ lonely spot that leads our unwilling footsteps to the side of the little mound where rests In peace ful slumber that knows no waking, the earthly form of our beloved brother. Past Grand C. D. Camp. The sun that rose with a smile at the waking of the gray dawn, has gone down at the meridian of noontide. The sparkling rill that leaped from rock to rock on Its careless travel through the canyons that crease .* the hill*, and mountains, has ceased the way of go ing. The broad and placid river, whose glistening waters danced In the shining glow of the smiling sunlight, as It flowed In majestic silence through the emerald valley, no longer dazzle the eye with their shimmering beauty. The flowers that had shed their sweetest fragrance upon the pathway of life, the leaves that clothed the trees In a garb of verdant loveliness, and the vel vet carpet which was spread over the peaceful bosom of Mother Earth, have all faded before his mortal gaze, with ered by the dry breath'of the power that men call death. Yet, when the morning comes again, the sun will shine as bright as It did yesterday. When the heavens pour forth their tears of Joy, the springs and the rivu lets, the rills and the rivers, will hurry on as before, In their Journey of Joy and happiness. When the sprlnKtlme comes ngaln the flowers will once more send forth their fragrance upon the balmy air of eventide; the trees will Hgaln he clothed In their garlands of vernal loveliness, and the velvet carpet will once more appear upon the earth. So will our beloved Brother (’amp, who has vanished from the pale of our mor tal vision. He will rise ngaln, and shine In the firmament of the heavens, as a star of the first magnitude, ns a sun of infinite glory. He will walk beside the majestic river of life upon the boundless universe, ns a song of the waters, upon the fading twilight of the drowsy old day. Hls example of fra ternal friendship and sweet loving charity will live on and on through the endlesH ages. ’TIs a sad wind that tells us of hls going away. ’Twas a bright glow of sunbeams that reflected the glory of hls pure life In the souls of the mem bers of the fraternal family he so much loved. ’Tis a dark cloud that now comes and whispers to us In Its own silent voice that hls life work on earth Is ended. Yet, through all our sadness, there comes the still, small voice that Whispers: There is no death; that what men call death Is but the passing of a soul from a world of beauty to u world of greater beauty. From the inmost recess of our hearts there Is something thut tells us that this earth ly habitation, which surrounds our un dying souls, ts but a clonk, which must some time be put away and given back to Mother Earth, from whom It was borrowed. Fraternally, J. R. M’MICHAEL, B. A. BRAY, L. A. HOLLY. Committee. G. W. Wilson. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and all that Is contained therein, but hls masterpiece was man, whom he created In hls own Image, to rule the universe. And since that day man has multi plied and flourished, but there are a great many who do not live up to the standard that God Intended they should. And yet there are others who It seems more than make up for the shortcom ings of their brothers, by living an Ir reproachable life—an affectionate hus band. an indulgent father, an ideal neighbor, and a model Odd Fellow. Such a man was our brother, G. VV. Wilson, and, whereas the All-Seeing Eye saw lit to remove him from our midst, on August 29, 1906, therefore, be it Resplved, first. That In the death of Brother Wilson, Fulton Lodge, No. 32, I. O. O. F., loses one of Its most en thusiastic members, whose place can not be filled, and the remembrance of horn time cannot efface. Second, That this lodge extends to hie bereaved family our deepest sym pathy; with the assurance that their loss Is our loss, but heaven’s gain. Third, That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the family of Brother Wilson, The Atlanta News and The At lanta Georgian. Fourth, That our charter and regalia be draped for thirty days in honor of the memory of our departed brother. Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. WHITE, E. A. BAUGHAN, N. H. MATTHEWS, Committee. B. L. Hartline. We are again called upon to witness the passing away of one of our most beloved brothers. God, In his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call from us to the great beyond, our betoved brother. B. L. Hartline, whom we recognized and appreciated as a brother and friend His demise forcibly reminds us that ? ll that Is born must die, passing hrough death to eternity, and admon ishes us of the importance of keeping our house In order, ready for the call of the grim messenger. Resolved, That In the departure of our brother from this lodge, wc have lost a brother whom we respected for hls kind disposition and his unswerving loyalty to tne principles of friendship, love and truth. Resolved, That while we humbly and reverently acknowledge the superior wisdom and power of God, whose voice Is heard In the solitude of the pathless woods, In the thunder of the waterfall, that He doeth nil things well, yet we cannot refrain from mourning the loss of one so true to the principles of Odd Fellowship. Not now, but In the coming years, It may be in the better land, We’ll rend the meaning of our tears, And there some time we’ll understand. Then trust in God through all thy days. Fear not, for He doth nold thy hand; Tho’ dark thy way, still sing and praise, Sothe time we’ll understand. WITH FINE SPEECH MATSON PRESENTS BEAUTIFUL JEWEL Splendid Tribute in Oratory is Paid Captain John C. Joiner. We’ll catch the broken threads ngaln, And finish what we have begun, Heaven will the mysteries explain, And then ah, then, we’ll understand. God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us, with unerring hand; Some time with tearless eyes we’ll see, Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand. Fraternally submitted, J. R. M’MICHAEL, F. A. HOLLEY. W. F. YARBROUGH, Committee. Captain John C. Joiner, one of the best known Masons in Georgia, was recently presented with a beautiful past master's Jewel by Atlanta lodge, one of the features of the occasion be ing the eloquent presentation speech of Hon. James L. Mayson, whose oratory has won a wide reputation. The speech of Mr. Mayson was as “A wise man has said, *We seek for hap pines* In striving for tilings which, If got ten. nrlng tis no happiness, and. at the same time, we ignore rich source* of hap pines* that lie all around ns.* "Hoinetluies in looking out on the mn< and maddening struggle for money, I fe#i like rushing out Into the street and shout ing, ‘Hold! Hold! ray countrymen; ye seek happiness In the pursuit, but your present course Is madness.' "There Is another Idol liefore whleh we bow, and Into whose service, we throw our lives and fortunes, as eagerly ns the east ern devotee throws her first boru Into the molten mouth of Moloch. If we look at the wrecks along life’s way, how many are there because their vniilting ambition led them to attempt achievements beyond their merit, nnd to ascend steeps they could uot hold. We have not learned from the ancient story. Still we make wings of-wax. and proudly sail Into upper nlr, nnd dare the burning eye of the sun, whose scornful breath melts our little wings, und we fall—back Into the sea of despair. ” ’Tis the same old story, over and over ngaln—we literally consecrate every facul ty nnd sacrifice every opportunity In the pursuit of happiness In these glittering shadows, these glistening clouds. Yet all the while the God, who gives us air for each breath—nnd fnllcth not—lias also piled drink slid be merry.

Conesauga’s birthday la next Wed* nesday sleep, September 26. The mem bers ext—cl "heap fun." All Red Men are Invited. Big heap com and venison. MEMBER. Bright music and sparkling drama are promised at tlio Grand next week. But two engagements are on the bills, but the quality promises to be of the best. Little Chip and Mary Marble, are coming again and their vehicle‘this season Is from the same pens as "Babes In Toyland," that tuneful fan taste of Victor Herbert and Glen Mc Donough. This year It Is "Wonder land," staged by Julian Mitchell and fresh from a success In the East. Jane Kennark, who will present Vlo la Allen's last play, "The Toast of the Town," Is welt known In Atlanta. Last season she presented "The Eternal City," another of Miss Allen's successes, and created a very favorable Impres sion. Miss Kennark was associated With a stock company In the South several years ago and her remarkable versatility was shown In her ability to Interpret widely differing rotes with each weekly change of bill. In "The Toast of the Town" she has the sub ject of much favorable comment by leading critics. Sidney Toler Is coming to the Bijou again In "How Baxter Butted In,” one of the beat comediea on the Bijou cir cuit last season. The popular priced house should be filled to capacity dur ing the week. "Wonderland." After a long and auccessful run at the Majeetlc Theater taet season and scoring one of the few musical come dy hits of the metropolitan year, "Won derland” will be the attraction Monday and Tuesday at the Grand. Wonderland" la the musical off spring of Victor Herbert, and the book and lyrics arp the product of Glen Mc Donough's brain. It Is a production of Julian Mitchell, who was responsi ble for those two notable extrava- ganxas, the "Wlsard of Ox" and "Babes In Toyland,” and Is said to be the masterpiece of hla well-known taete and ability in color and stage effects. Ita story Is of the fairy-tale kind, such as Mr. Mitchell delights In for their opportunities In startling and unusual scenes and transformatlo.ns, and Is said to be diverting and amusing. Man ager Joseph M. Galtes, who controls the destinies of "Wonderland," has en gaged a large, well-balanced company, at the head of which he has placed Little Chip and Mary Marble. He has also brought the entire production that was used during the successful run of the piece at the Majestic Theater last season. “The Toast of tha Town.” Jane Kennark, last seen here In “The Eternal City," will present Clyde Pitch’s play, "The Toast of the Town," at the Grand next Wednesday and Thursday. When It was announced that Mr. Pitch had written a new play it was taken for granted that It was a modern society comedy. This did not follow, for the author’s most lasting success, "Beau Brummell,” was laid In “old and golden days.” It was but natural that Mr. Pitch should have harkened back to the Georges and again prospected In a domain which had yielded such rich dramatic ore. Brummell was the hero of hls first Georgian play, while Betty Singleton Is the heroine of hls later effort. Miss Kennark has appeared In dra mas laid in various periods of time. The chief requisite has always been that the play be a good one. While certain periods are more qteturesque thnn others, a moving story, finally told and capitally presented, Is so al luring that Us locale la of second con sideration. Unquestionably Miss Ken nark would not have hesitated at a drama laid In modern time, for she has appeared In several In recent years, notably "Tha Eternal City." "The Toast of the Town” deals with characters of a formsr age. the pict uresque period of George the Third. In this play Miss Kennark impersonates Hetty Singleton, a famous actress of the time. Miss Kennark'n company for this season is an excellent one and embraces such well-known perform ers as Carl Anthony, Lellla Vane, Ber tha Livingston. Maurice W. Stewart. Dorothy La Mar, Mr. Warren Dahler. The engagement will include a mat inee Thursday afternoon. "How Baxter Butted In.” Owen Davls' latest play, that tnueh- talked of combination of character comedy and rural drama, "How Baxter Butted In,” Is the offering at the Bijou next week. “How Baxter Butted In” appeals not only to lovers of good high- class melodrama, but to those who enjoy truthful characterization of types of every-day life. Baxter la a commercial traveler, and In the course of business drifts Into a country hotel In -a little town In Ver mont. In this hotel he meets a young girl, the step-daughter of the tight- fisted old miser who owns the place. This girl. In defending the good name of her brother, who Is accused of theft. In turned out of doors und publicly disgraced before the whole village. This Is where Rnxter "butts In." and ho butts In to such good purpose that the girl and her brother are restored to their former place In tha esteem of their neighbors and the persons who have connived and plotted against them are caught and punished. , Baxter’s victory over the young girl’s enemies Is only won after many exciting adventures, and before hls final success he has quite captured the hearts of all the young people of the town. The part of Baxter Is i most complex character study and de mands'an actor who Is equally at home In strong dramatic scenes and In com edy. The title role Is enacted by Sid ney Toler, an actor of note and varied experiences. A “Cohan 8how” Coming. Georgie M. Cohan's most famous suc cess, "Forty-five Minutes from Broad way,” will be preaented at the Grand as an early booking. The play comes here direct from a year's run In New York and Chicago, having been pre sented twenty weeks In the former and thirty weeks In the latter city to enor mous receipts. Messrs. Klaw & Er- Innger have given Mr. Cohan's bright and witty play a good production and a cast of much prominence headed by Cortnne. For hls funmaking the young play wright seised upon the harmless vil lage of New Rochelle, an the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail road, which Is only a short run from the metropolis, and brought to Its sleepy precincts a number of wide awake New Yorkers, who are In despair at being settled In a town that goes to bed at 10 o'clock, and cannot boast a single cafe. The story of the play Is told In such n novel manner as to be really absorbing—and Incident succeeds Incident In rapid order. Real comedy Is the basis of the piece. Corlnne Is Irresistible In the role of SCENE FORM "WONDERLAND” AT THE GRAND. SIDNEY TOLER IN “HOW BAXTER BUTTED IN." Mary Jane Perkins, the housemaid of the deceased millionaire. She Is giv en a splendid part, nnd bring* rare and delicate Interpretation to the role of the simple Mary, who Is all heart, with her smiles and tears, her puns and witty sallies. The music of the play Is composed In; Mr. Cohan’s best style, two of the songs, "Mary Is a Grand Old Name," and "So Long, Mary,” having acquired Immense popularity everywhere. Al G. Field’s Minstrels. A1 Field came again Friday night with hls retinue of silk-clad singers and ns always the Grand was filled to a point where even the standing room sign was taken down. That the crowd liked the show was evident' In the np- plause that follow ed every hit. It would he a waste of space to at tempt a criticism of a minstrel show. Men go to the minstrels who never vis it any other form of entertainment. They go to laugh and they do laugh. They have no standard for comparison except the minstrels of other seasons. They believe that they get their money’s worth and If a hundred laughs for a dollar—one cent a laugh—Is not cheap enough the fun-seeker should walk out to Grant park and look at the monkeys. Al Field In 1906 Is neither better nor worse than the Al Field of 1905 or 1904, or any of the seasons In the past de cade. There are many of the old faces reeognlxjtble, even under the burnt cork of minstrelsy. There are new ones whleh may In their turn be come old favorites. Some of the old singers are missing—notably Reese Prosser. There were thousands who liked Prosser’s falsetto notes, hut If there Is a flaw worth calling attention to In the show this season It Is that Mr. Field has too many of these piccolo voices oh hls program. It Is all tenor or falsetto—not u single well-rounded baritone or basso is given a solo num ber. Press Eldrtdge Is the master of the high Jinks and he has 'em going. His monologue In the olio, ending with hls song limericks, was the best feature of the program. Al Field und Doc Quig ley had their usual dialogue, which has not changed materially. The Gridiron Club Is still there with no new guests. Harry Van Fossen, w hose foghorn voice shook the rafters In "Where Is Brown V made himself one of the favorites. The first part Is beautifully staged, the en semble singing and the novelty turns at the close gave satisfaction to the spectators. The engagement Is for Sat urday afternoon and night. D. G.
