The Lyceum a Measure of Our Culture It la to be hoped that Atlanta will not at any time per mit tta enthusiasm to lag or its patronage to wane In the natter of the Atlanta Lecture Association. The past record of this admirable sene* of enter- Ulnments fa abundant to ylndlcate Its claim to our hearti est future support. There la not In the realm of entertain ment so much of pleasure and of real profit to be derived from the expenditure of so small a sum of money as that which an annual membership In the Atlanta Lecture Asso ciation provides. The Atlanta Lyceum has brought to our people In time pait many of the moet eminent, eloquent and distin guished men and women of the United States. Orators, thinkers, readers and entertainers of national and Inter national reputation are put upon our opera house plat- forma at stated Interval* at a coat which ta scarcely more than the price of a ticket to one of our ordinary time killing and mlnd-dl*slpntlng comic operas of the day. It la a measure of Atlanta’* intellectual appreciation that sne should faithfully sustain a lyceum association which for live years past has ranked at the head of the American list The editor of The Georgian has heard men like Wcndllng, Hillts an' Ounsaulus declare that the At lanta audience* of live years ago were In numbers, Intelli gence. . nd enthusiasm the finest of America, and we have been proud to beileve that the culturo and appreciation of our people was being heralded widely and happily by the nature and numbers of Its splendid lyceum auditory. The Atlanta Lyceum list for the present season Is *ip to the high standard of those that have gone before. The list opens on November 1 with Dr. Leonard Levy, of Pitts- burg, rabbi of one of the richest congregation* of Hebrew* In the world, and himself one of the moat Interesting •pcskers ot bis race. It include* *uch eminent attractions a* Maud Balllngton-Booth, whose audience* always leave delighted with the grace and eloquence ot this charming and noble woman. Frank Dixon, who has frequently pleased our people, and who Is one of tho growing men of the American platform. The wonderful magician, Dr. Edward Burton McDowell, tella of tho land of ixmls Stevenson In "Samoa." The picture play of Lorna Doone by Albert Armstrong comes, and that prince of the plat form, George R. Wendllng, has also a strong place oh the program. These attractions coming in turn, with many others probably to include some of the great political figures now moving on the horizon, mako up a program worthy of Atlanta and of the past record of Its great lyceum. We commend this admirable Institution to the cordial support snd practical patronage of the people. Let the Auditorium Remember Art. James B. Townsend, editor of Tho American Art Ksws, and for many years a well known figure In the art circlet of New York and London, In a recent letter to the editor of The Georgian, asks a question which Is not without bearing upon the Armory-Auditorium project now meettng with such enthusiastic encouragement from the Atlanta public. "Is It possible," writes Mr. Townsend, who will man age the second annual art exhibit to be held In Atlunta under the auspices of the Atlanta Art Association, “that the city of Atlanta has no gallery worthy to house a representative collection of American paintings? Or no hall which you use for exhibit, concert and lecture pur pose*?" These are embarrassing questions, to be sure, but the time It ripe for cona.'derlng ihem, and, certainly ripe for answering them In the affirmative. The (act alone that Atlanta it to have annually a great exhibition of painting*, and at Intervals throughout the year smaller •Xhlbltlooa of pottery, craft work and other branches of art. creates a distinct need (or an exhibit hall. Such a ball would soon become as neceasary to the artistic and esthetic life of our city as Is the picture gallery to the artistic and esthetic life of New York,- Boston. Buf falo, Cincinnati, St. Louis or any other great municipality which recognises the vital relation of art to civic devel opment. When the great armory-auditorium ts planned, there fore, let us Include a smaller gallery whose main pur pose shall be the housing of the art exhibitions which are henceforth to be brought to Atlanta from New York and from European cities. To those who question the practicality of such n suggestion, it Rhonld be sufficient to remember that this gallery would be In constant de mand for concerts, lectures and all occaslona to which a vast auditorium Is wholly unsuited. At comparatively little extra cost. It may now be Included in the plans, while to neglect it would be to overlook a requirement which within a few years’ time will have become a ne cessity. For In view of the earnest snd Intelligent efforts of the men and women who comprise the Atlanta Art As sociation, It it inevitable that our city shall awaken, as other great American cities have done, to the necessity of civic advancement, and to the value of art Interests as factors In the best development of our civic and national life. We shall learn, as other people In other sections are learning, that to commercialize the whole ot life Is to lay the ax at the very root a ot our civilization: but that to preserve the true balance between utility and beauty, the practical and the esthetic, and to let the Ideal be cause, Is to make possible a civilization which Bball one day surpass In excellence and stability "The Glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome.” Saturday Evening and Atlanta. ft Is a trite saying and credited to the Atlanta Spirit, that Atlanta la the "best city ot Its size la the world.” Let us see If there Is not beneath the proud asser tion something more substantial than a civic boast, and something more authoritative than the pride and hope of a loyal citizenry. Say first that In all the fluctuations of these two eventful decades. In which trade has turned somersault* and cities have alternatively waxed and waned, that At lanta has never known a panic, recognized a depression, or called one moment's halt in her stately stride of steady progresa and development. Is there another city in the land that can say as much? Say, again, that alnce Sherman's soldiers left At lanta In the lurid glare of Its burning homes, "marching through Georgia" to the sea, that Atlanta has never been so prosperous, so solid, so established in credit, so rich in receipts, so prosperous In manufactures, so bulging with buyers, so crowded with shoppers, so thick with Investors, and so universally and unoxceptionally comfort able and well-to-do ns she Is today. And say, that even In the very pomp and fulness of prosperity, the city strenuous, not resting nor baiting, Is going forward now, today and every day 'with a buzz of saws, a clanging of hammers and a pounding of masonry In the most extensive and comprehensive building period of Its long and eventful history. Why has Atlanta never known a panic, when her neighbors have b.en la gloom? Because Atlanta's pros perity rests upon an Industrial life so varied and com prehensive that only a universal depression could becloud Its trade. Did you know, young fellow Just come to town, that Atlanta has two hundred and fifty-seven different Industries In successful operation? Did you know that thla number does not Include the variations of a single Industry, but counts, for Instance, under the general head of furniture making the sccre or more of factories which concentrate their work upon aome separate piece of furniture? Did you know that no other city of your near or remote acquaintance and of approximate size has so many Industrial Irons In the fire? And did you know that this wonderful variety of industrial activity Is the sound foundation for Atlanta's unbroken progress and unvarying prosperity? Why, if the Iron product sinks for a season to depression, Bir mingham Is In the dump* and long faces line her streets. If the cotton market slumps) continually. New Orleans and Memphis are In gloom. If the furniture trade la off, Grand Rapids sobs bard times, and so along the long list ot cities founded on fewer factories. But Atlanta, when the Iron market slumps, goes whirling her products from two hundred other mills to satisfy the world. When cotton wanes her versatile wheels go turning her resources from other lines to brldgfe the season Without loss, and whatever shadow falls upon any section of commercial life, she la ready and prepared to see ond to shed the sunshine that has been stored by her genius and energy Into the other side. Atlanta has no panics and no depressions, because her energies and resources have been diffused through so many various lines of productive work that the wise law ot compensation keeps the balance of her trade In poise. And she Is safe beyond her sisters for the future, for her prosperity, so wisely and discreetly founded, Is budded to endure. Upon this deep theory of diversified Industry we are set to continued prosperity and growth. It Is In dividual as well as general. A man In West End has six sons. They are growing capably In six zeparate lines of business. Nothing can bring that family to want If It will stand together. If the son In cotton falla on evil times, the sons In Iron, coal and patent medicines are there to bridge the time. If five of them find business to languish lu their lines, the sixth must Burely bo doing something that can hold his crew together. And as with the family so with the city In Its many phases of undustrisl life. And Atlanta Is growing now like Jonah's gourd. We who do not believe this simply do not go around. -Get out of the shed In which you work a moment and look around. Down at the end of the stirring street on which we work there Is rising a stately structure. Look at It. It Is five stories high, and it stretches the magnificent length of two city blocks. Its floor space is Immense, It ts built of concrete masonry to last a thousand years. It Is the freight terminal of a single railroad, and tt marks the fatth of tho 1-oulsvllle and Nashville In the present power and certain growth of Atlanta. It Is spanned by a long viaduct of stone—the greatest that. Atlanta owns— and It ts going to revolutionize the appearance, growth and business atatua of a populous portion of the city. The Bell Telephone Company, which, ten years ago, was housed in one room In the Healy budding, bought a coetly lot and set out, ten years ago. to build a stately structure that its friends thought bII too large for Its nesds. The company had outgrown the bolldtng be fore It entered it, and jras clamoring for space. The north exchange was added, and then the east, and the west, and today the Bed people are budding a structure nearly twice a* large at the first, and twice as wed equipped; and wondering where they shall find more but the effort of hla body to make room for his crowding wares. Look at the Pratts, who are so quiet that you never hear them, but who are covering acres with fac tories and mills and laboratories In the suburbs ot Atlanta. Look at Jacob Elsas selling money bags to every city In the world. Look at the Adairs planting every dol lar as they make tt in Atlanta dirt. Go anywhere, where there la apace, and see If it is not filling or being sought to fill. And, mark you, this great city Is built and being built by Southern men. With wide welcome to those who come to us across the border, with wide acknowl edgment to those from colder climates who have done their part, the fact standi clear and Inspiring that In the great aggregate the stately structure of thla twentieth century city is Southern built, home-made and homo geneous. This strain' la not exhausted. It might run along Its current of Inspiring facts Indefinitely. Atlanta's credit Is superb. Its merchants are as much, If not better, trusted than any business men in the South. It has a bank which, while 160 banka may outrank it In deposits, Is yet rated about tenth or twelfth among the substan tial Institutions ot the country. Its railroads have In vested $8,000,000 In .Atlanta real estate within the decad Its factories include every necessity from the cradle to the grave. It manufactures the forceps which expedite our first protesting struggle In the world. It manufactures the cofllns which bury our bodies at Oakland or West- view. It quarries the stone which tells our virtues to succeeding years, and It manufactures every necessity that we require between the forceps and the monument. There Is no mortal man In all Atlanta who Is Industrious and worthy who has an excuse for suffering today. There are fewer paupers In Atlanta than In any city of Its numbers in the world. There Is more and swifter charity for human suffering than In any other town, and there Is not among all the municipalities of modern progress one whose air la softer and purer, fuller of ozone and fuller ot Inspiration than this city of Atlanta. Let us stop here—not for material, but for breath. The moral is In cheer. Let us rejoice In our goodly city. Let us beileve In It. Let us never deprecate, but always magnify Us advantages. Let us have faith that will speak In service. In affection, and In Investment. And let us thank God on this Saturday evening that It Is our happy lot to live, to labor and to love In the best, the healthiest, the happiest and the most wholesome city In the world. , HEARST AS I KNEW HIM Personal Sid* of tho Msn Who Is Now the Central Figure in Polities. His Genuine Conosrn for tho Under Dog—Many Instances Cited by On* Who Has Had Peculiarly Good Opportunities of Study ing tho Man in His relations to His Followman. CHARLES E. RUSSSLL in Ridgway’s for October 27. I suppose all the mystery that in some minds seems to surround W. R. Hearst, the course he has pursued and the strength of his following, arises from this: that his position Is wholly new and seems sinister and abnormal. Here Is a rich man that has turned against his order and used his wealth to fight wealth Instead of to gain more wealth. We have never before In our affairs known that, or anything like The Instant conclusion among the wealthy was, naturally, that such a man could be actuated only by the most wicked, selfish and malign of mo tives, and this Idea, being diligently fostered by the newspapers that are owned by or conducted In the Inter est of predatory wealth, has been ac cepted as true by many men that have ways In which men had tried to change these conditions, the futility of even the best meant philanthropy, and the essential failure of most of the schemes of beneficences. My faith was In the coming of unother Wendell Phillips, who, keeping aloof from parties and politics, should achieve reform by per sistent agitation. Mr. Hearst was all for action, for doing something by practical means, for controlling exist ing machinery to secure present re sults. We talked often of the men in the United States that seemed able, or likely, to do these things, and It never occurred to either of us that he would try to put his Ideas Into practice by becoming a candidate for office. From these talks that recurred through many days and weeks, I could see clearly enough the origin of some of his peculiarities. I could under- cepten as “'Tf. “ E stand, for Instance, a thing I had often about"him!* and *has° been accenTuatad New York-that he would by the prejudices of those already of- space. . Ten years ago Jim Nunnally was fearing that he had far outbuilt bis needs In the little candy factory set on Ivy street. He has quadrupled It since then, and on yesterday paid $22,000 for adjoining space to double his present factory And Nunnally's Is the story of every man who has staked bis Intelligent -faith In industrial Atlanta. Every one of them has far outgrown the cgrly stake, and the cry and problem of the hour Is more space In which to come the real as gradually, aa logically, oa effect follows jgrow. Look at 8am D. Jones, whose amule avoirdupois 1* fended on whnt we are pleased to call grounds of tasto because Mr. Hearst had chosen deliberately to address his newspapers to the leaet fortunate. To these and to many others It has un doubtcdly seemed certain that a rich man would not attack wealth except under some strong Impulsion to gain office and power for himself, and prob ably to use for evil purposes what he thus gained. . , 1 suppose, further, that only those of us that for years and years have been closely associated with Mr. Hearst, that from Intimate observation of him under all conditions have learned what he really believes and alms at and tries to do, can understand how much the men who do not believe In his sincerity have missed the dominant keynote in his character. Not freer than other men from errors of Judgment, no doubt, ts Mr. Hearst; but none of the men that have known him Intimately ever questions the honesty of his convic tions, nor their essential excellence; end It seems unfair In one of these not to make a protest against whnt he knows very well Is a radical Injustice. If you Imagine a man among many oc- cupatlons, distractions and ambitions that still held always and first to a perfectly unaffected, unpretended and Innate sympathy with the less fortu nate people In the world; that was pro foundly dissatisfied with existing con ditions; that really desired to do some- thing to make life better anil easier for those at the bottom of the social title; that was naturally and first of all Interested In lessening the burden of misery, and then was determined to follow what seemed to him the best way to better conditions, you would have a fnlr view of one side (and that the most Important and effective) of Mr. llearst's character. His way might not be another man's way and It might seem to many conscientious persons to be strange and unwise, but It would be at least honest throughout and truly followed. J go back now to a time when no one had thought of Mr. Hearst as a can didate for any office, when he himself believed that his line of work was strictly within his newspapers, when he used to marvel boa* any man ever made n public speech and would con fess stage fright when he talked to hie editors In council. We were traveling In Italy. I was not then In his employ (though 1 had been before anil was afterwards), but our paths happened to come together at Florence, and we renewed an old friendship na we Jour neyed together. Day by day and night after night as we were Jotted about on the Italian railroads or sat watting for an Italian table d'bote, we threshed over the subjects In which we were most Interested. So thrown together In tr foreign country, without Interruptions and with no reason for concealment, men usually stop In the street to watch a limping horse- or make an unreasonable ado about a hurt vagrant dog. I could un derstand, better, that night In San Francisco, when there was a storm and some fishermen were wrecked on a rock outside, and he was the only man that would undertake to get them off. I could See what moved him one day In Naples when he threshed a cab man for beating a horse, and that other time when the sight of maltreated ani mals In a foreign city drove him to hunt up on obscure humane society and give It what was probably the largest subscription In Its history. As to that cabman, by the tvay, we were driving In an open carriage, and Mr. Hearst had twice told the driver to atop strik ing the horse. The driver paid no at tention,-so Mr. Hearst made one sudden leap from the seat, got the cabman by the back of the neck, and landed In the street upon him. And I recalled how, Jn New York, he used to Insist on going home from the office by the wny of the Bowery and would observe and comment upon the ffiuman wrecks that drifted there, or In the "breadline" at Flelshmann's, and these were manifestations of the same Interest tn whoever or whatever In the world for any cause fared lit or suf fered wrong. But all these things are familiar enough to the men who have worked with Mr. Hearst, so that they will rath- er wonder why I set them down. They will recall the many occasions In man?' winters when we had to turn the staff Into charity organization societies to go about the tenement house* with wagon loads of food and supplies; the tug tha't he hired to pull a stranded schooner off Fire Island beach In the heart of a howling blizzard: the count less Instances and wnys of which the outside world has never heard wherein he has used the machinery of his of fices to relieve distress; and none of those men will need to be reminded that all these sprang from the same genuine and spontaneous Interest tn the unfortunate und the unassisted. < He has Ills full share of faults like other men, but they nre not the faults that have been attributed to him, and to my mind they seem unimportant when weighed against the fact that, having wealth and power, he Is willing to fight the corporations snd try to do something practical for the men ot the bottom. No other man tn our time has been so fiercely ussalled, but In ull history every man that hns disturbed vested Interests has been made the target of the same sort of attack. The weapons Mr. Hearst hns chosen have not always been pretty, but It Is beyond question that they have been effective. Any way. 1 have no more doubt of hts sin cerity In waging war on the men that he believes arc oppressing the masses of people than I had of Ills sincerity million dollars of thb people’s money In overcharges to the trust, and I worked to secure the passage of an 80-cent gas law. and then we court and obtained an Injunction com pelling the company to furnish gas at 80 cents, In accordance with the law. "Then I fought the shipyard trust, with which corporation Campaign Fund Collector Sheldon was scandalously connected. I Instituted criminal pro ceedings, but Jerome quashed them. "I fought the Ramapo water grab. “I fought the Brooklyn franchise grab. "I fought the scheme to rent seats In public parks. "I fought the Seventh National bank wreckers and had the depositors paid In full and the president Indicted and fined $10,000. “I fought the wreckers of the Merchants' Trust Company, and peti tioned Governor Higgins to remove Banking Superintendent Kltbum as corrupt and Incompetent. This Hig gins refused to do. I applied to Je rome to Institute criminal proceedings, which Jerome refused to do, but we had-the depositors paid In full never theless. "I fought the traction trust In New York city and petitioned Attorney Gen eral Mayer to Institute proceedings. "I fought the' election cases through every court, not only for myself, but for all the candidates, and, above all, tor the people and for principle. I will never cease fighting these cases, and, If necessary, I will spend every dollar I have In the world to have these votes counted ns cast. “I fought the New York Central and other railroads disaster in the tunnel, and presented Immense petitions to Mayor Low and helped to secure the electrification of the road now under way. "I fought the New York Central and other railroads for criminal rebating to the sugar trust, nnd gave tho gov ernment the evidence, which was pub licly acknowledged by Attorney Gen eral Moody. The officials of the New York Central have lately been convict ed on all counts. ‘ “I fought The New York Herald for printing n directory of vice on Its-front page nnd for sending procurers' adver tisements Into respectable homes to lure Innocent girls and wives to their destruction, and today James Gordoh Bennett and The Herald and tho busi ness manager of The Herald were In dicted by the United States grand Jury on eight separate counts for un lawfully, wilfully and knowingly de positing In the malls of the United States non-mailable matter, consisting of -obscene, lewd, lascivious and Inde cent advertisements.’ "I have made all these fights for the public good, nnd certainly my sincer ity Is established by the many powerful enemies l have made. "I have made all these fights not only without pay, but at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And certainly that Is some guarantee of sincerity.” i GOSSIP I TOTS DATE IN .HISTORY.

He died an hour later In the city hospital. The remains were removed to his home at 818 Walnut street. BY CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. New York, Qct. !?.—J. Plerpont Morgan Is planning an Italian garden to adjoin his residence at 219 Madison avenue, to be laid out on the site of the house now occupied by Mr. 'Morgan's daughter, Mrs. Herbert Satterlee. He Is having a, brand-new house built for her next to his magnificent library In East Thlrty-sixth street. When she moves Into tt In the spring her present house will be torn down Immediately, and no expense will he spared to make the J. Plerpont Mor gan Italian garden the most beautiful small formal garden In the country. It will cost him about $1,000,000. T. P. O’Conner, better known as "Tay Pay," both In Great Britain 'and over here, where he has been for the past two weeks on h mission to get sub stantial help for the Irish party, of which he Is one of the leaders In par liament, declared today that he had been far more successful than even he had hoped. Mr. O'Conner was at the Hotel Prince George, on Twenty-seventh street, near Fifth avenue. He sails today on the Lucania, and hts last evening was spent at the home of Mark Twain, who had invited him to a private dinner to meet a number of friends of the Irish leader, and also some noted American writers. "My mission to the United States." said Mr. O’Conner to a reporter today. “Is the most successful I have ever had. I am going away most satisfied. Within the next twelve months I ex pect that there will be $150,000 contrib uted for the cause ot the Irish partv as a result ot my two weeks’ stay In the United States. “And I am not going away leaving the work uncared for. I can go away the better satisfied, although regretfully, because I am leaving behind two of my most able helpers—Richard Hazle ton and Timothy Kettle—both mem bers of parliament.” Commander Nebolsine, the new naval attache of the Russian embassy, and Mme. Nebolsine have reached Wash ington accompanied by their children, and have taken a house In M street. The new attache arrived in this coun try in June with hts family, and has occupied a cottage at Black Rock, Conn. Mme. Nebolsine Is an accom plished Russian woman and a linguist of ability. The doubting surrogate In hearing a rill contest does not believe a woman could possibly hide her father’s will for 80 years and not look at It—not take a single peep at the precious paper In all those years. The woman says she did. I wonder! Hugh Duffy died 80 years ago, leaving an estate valued at 810,000. Since that time hts children have acted on the resumption that he left no will nnd tave divided up the property. Recently one of the daughters. Mar garet Duffy, produced the wilt nnd asked that It be declared the last will of her father, and testified that while she knew, that the paper In question was tho will of her father, she put tt away In a box nnd that she never opened or looked at It from that time until just before she offered It for pro bate. "Without following the common as sertion as to the curiosity of woman,” Surrogate Church said In Ills opinion, "it Is assuredly beyond the realm of probability that any person would re ceive a will and keep tt for 30 years without ever having opened It to see what It contained." Admiral and Mrs. Dewey arc enter taining at their Washington home the latter's sister, Mrs. Ludlow, wife of Rear Admiral Ludlow, U. S. N. The Atlantic Fruit Company's steamer, Yumurl, arrived early yester day from Port Antonio, Jamaica, with a cargo of 15,000 bunches of bananns. The centipedes, scorpions and taran tulas that accompanied the succulent fruit were down on the manifest. Banana crews hnve their troubles. It is a common sight to see a dozen centi pedes basking In the warmth of the forecastle, while tho big hungry taran tulas crawl around and dry up In the warmth. "That’s all right, though," said one of the Yunturl's officers. "The tarantulas are useful In their way. They're so In telligent, when the mate strikes eight bells he has no need to go forward to call the watch, because the tarantulas know what’s wanted. They make tho sunny, dull, booming noise In the men’s ears until they tumble out and get on deck.” The Yumurl sailed again for Jamaica today for another cargo. Thirty-four children from the Hos pital for Crippled Children who were out for an airing In two large wagon* were made happy when a handsoinely- dressed woman gave to each a half- >und box of candy and a glass of srnla. Their wardens had stopped and the children were buying candy from a vendor. The woman, after warning the little ones of the danger of eating such candy, took them to n shop n few blocks away and for the next half hour the proprietor had the busiest time of his life. Tile woman would not reveal her Identity, but she said she had spent several weeks In a hospital recently as the result of being thrown from a horse and that her eympathtea were with alt cripples. perfectly clear to me that this man bo. Ileved he had a work to do In bettering conditions, believed In his own ability to do that work, and would follow Ills convictions to the end without the ellgluest concern about the opposition he might arouse. Ills course since then has been perfectly consistent with that Impression—with his views ex pressed without reserve In many Inti mate talks—and perfectly logical, also, although events hnve turned out so differently from anything we then ex pected. We used to talk about the steady In crease of the (Mover of wealth tn the republic; about the Interference of the corporattone In politics and public fife, the control of the government for the corporation Intereets; about the grow ing evil of slums In the cities, the mil lions of people that live therein with out sufficient food, light, air or oppor tunity; about the startling parallel be tween the situation tn America and the situation In Rome at the time of the Gracchi ond the last days of the Roman republic. For all these evils he had the same remedy—which was the extension of democracy and the turning of the first attention of the government to the state of the less fortunate. Progress seemed Garden, he gave a catalogue of the things he has done In the war he has made. Put together thus, they make an amazing showing. On the whole, he seems to have good erason to be proud of the results. This Is what he said about them: "Insincerity Is to say something you do not mean, to profess something you are not willing to perform. I point not to my worde. but my actions.
