at .16.-. Broadway. He said today
m is93 a young "man" secured
iSfpIovment In the office as a sten-
SSpher, giving the name of Langel.
„f Langel’* appearance there

It was not long before the employees

the offic e, and was highly esteemed by
the members of the Arm. Because of

the speaker was a woman. “His" ap

caused good-natured bandlnage.
Ungel was afflicted with a chronjc

Seen Wearing Woman’s Clothes.
A short time after "his" departure
an office boy spread the news among
other employees that he had seen Lan
gel on the street. dressed In woman's
clothes. The boy was ridiculed, but
stoutly clung to his story. He said he
could not be mistaken, because of a
slight scar on Langel’s face. The boy
said lie had made an effort to address
Ungel, hut the latter avoided him.
Mr, Hance and his present law part
ner. William J. Miller, were walking
along Broadway a year later, when
both exclaimed almost simultaneously:
"There Is Langel dressed In woman's
clothes."
She Fled From Employers.
They were so startled by the dtseov-

TOOK HIM TO PARK
TO GET HIS
When O W. Lee. a middle-aged man
of neat appearance, who came to At
lanta two weeks ago from New York,
was arraigned before Recorder Broyles
Thursday morning he was accused of
operating a smooth flim-flam game, by
which he was fleecing Atlanta banks
and Atlanta undertakers.
After hearing the evidence, the re
corder ordered the New Yorket* held in
„ 1V . . 6200 bond for the state courts on the
vi„T" ^,h» JZi !*k!d ch » r * e » f cheating and swindling.
A number of prominent banker* and
business men appeared In court to tea-
tlly agalntt Lee.
The evidence, in effect, wa* that the
New Yorker had gotten up a railroad
time book, to be u»ed by railroad, in
keeping the time of their employee,,
and had worked a fraud In the solicit
ing of advertisement, for the front
and back rover, of the book. He I,
said to have visited the Lowry Notion
al bank and there accured an ad. prom
ising this bank it should have the ex
clusive right In the book for this line of
ads. Tile Fourth National bank la said
to have been visited on the same mis
sion and the same promise made to
thla bank, that It should have the ex
clusive bunk space.
“Exclusive” Advertising.
Lee, It 1, aald, carried to each bank
a dummy of tha book, explaining to
the officials whera the ad would ap
pear, and In each Instance agreeing
that till, should be the only bank ad In
the book. .
The officials of the two banks, each
thinking their bank would be the only
one represented, thought this u good
plun and rcudily accepted the spare.
The undertaking Arms of Barclay &
Brandon and H. M. Patterson are said
to have taken space In the book on the
same condition that the ad of each tlrm
was to be exclusive, neither one know
ing the other had bought space.
Lee had stated In each Instance,
Is said, that several thousahd of the
time books would be printed.
Sufficient Information waa finally ob.
talned, however, by the bankers and
undertakers to lead them to believe
they were the vlctlpt, of graft, and ap
Investigation was made, resulting in
the arrest of Lee Wednesday by Po
liceman Florence.
Two of the time books were Intro
duced In evidence to show the alleged
scheme of duplicity. On one of the
books appeared the advertisement of
the Lowry bank, while on the other ap
peared the ad of the Fourth National
bank. This also applied to the under-
ta joseph T. Orme, cashier of the Low-
ry bank; J. K. Ottley, of the Fourth
National bank; Q. H. Brandon, of Bar
clay * Brandon; Fred Patterson, son
of «. M. Patterson: John Thomasop,
the printer, and others testified. The
prosecution was represented by Judge
Walter T. I’olqultt, while Attorney
John W. Moore appeared for the de
fendant.
Lee made no. statement. Hla at
torney, however, declared Lee meant
no wrong by the duplicate books. He
said Lee had Intended one of the books
for the railroad yard men and the oth
er for the nten on the main line.

Princeton Oise Club.
One of the rarest musical treats In
many years was presented to a large
audience In. the Orand Wednesday
night when the Princeton Glee Club
rendered a program of vocal and In
strumental music tyat was enjoyed
from the beginning until the end, when
the Princeton yell concluded the pro
gram.
Every man In the organisation b an
amateur, an undergraduate In college,
but the performance was equal to any
high-class professional aggregation.
The program conalnletl of songs ren
dered only as Princeton men eun render
them, nnd aelectloni on the banjo nnd
mandolin that called fArm round after
round of applause. Especially Inter
esting was "The Grasshopper," by
Messrs. Wells, Wagner. McClIntock,
Hamilton. Dillon. Scott, Cass and Rob
bins. and the singing of “Old Nassau
vividly brought to the minds of old
Princeton men the dayie spent In the
old New Jersey college.
Another Interesting number by the
Glee Club was "1907 Medley—A Trip
to Coney Island." Popular airs by the
banjo nnd mandolin clubs caught the
audience and not a selection wa* ren
dered without an encore being called
for.
The appearance of the club In At
lanta waa the first In ten years and the
reault of tlie entertainment was a unan
imous desire on the part of the au
dience that Atlanta be Included In the
holiday tour each year. P. E. W.
Mansfield in “Peer Qynt."
No artistic event In the dramatic
history of this city eclipses the Interest
and Importance attaching to the com'
Ing of Richard Mansfield to the Grand
on Thursday night.
Mr. Mansfleld stands alone among
English speaking artists In a pre-emi
nence for which nature intended him,
and he has prepared and maintained
himself by the most untiring xeal on a
lofty plane and unstinted generosity In
furnishing pictorial gnd artistic en
vironment.
The greatest success of his career
has recently crowned Mansfield's most
daring effort. Where only a few of the
endowed theaters of Europe dared to
tread,' Mansfield, with Infallible confi
dence In tlie public's latent desire for
superior drama when finely performed
and presented, rushed in and acted
Peer Oynt." This Is Henrik Ibsen's
masterpiece, a isiem comprehensive as
human life, vibrant with emotion, bril
liant with comedy, vast In the pano
ramic demands, exquisite In the motion
of dances, the lilt of songs, and fn the
celebrated musical background written
by Edward Grieg.
Mansfield’s triumph was Instantane
ous and beyond anything else in recent
dramatic history. "Peer Gynt" ran
for four consecutive weeks In Chicago,
where It waa put on for only one orig
inally.
“Peer Gynt" plrtorially eclipses
Mansfield's celebrated "Cyrano de Ber
gerac." "King Henry V." “King Rich
ard 111" and "Julius Caesar." It fat in
fact the most extensive set of stage
pictures ever displayed In a single
evening. Other reasons for the ex
traordinary popularity of “Peer Gynt”
ore not absent Trom the reviews. The
great role of "Peer Gynt" affords Mr.
Mansfield's art a wider scope than one
could Imagine In one evening, though
longer than Cyrano, Hamlet or King
nichard III. The poetry charms, the
music and singing nnd the ballets di
vert, the fourteen massive settings fur
nish n continually changing panorama,
the vast crowd furnish agreeable move
ment, nnd the story Is ns amusing as
Rip Van Winkle, while vastly more
profound.
"Peer Oynt" has been acted before,
but never In English. It was done with
pitiable poverty In Purls and with
somewhat more pretense nt state per
formances In Munich nnd DerlM. It Is
most often presented In the royal tlie
nters. Christiania and Copenhagen,
where It Is beloved as no other play
given.
The cast numbers 47. All told, the
company numbers 138 souls. For Iho
production here Mr. Mansfield'* corps
of musicians tn play the Grieg nnd
other music will bo doubled, and 70
extra stage hand* will be required to
work with his stage force of 32.
“Pariifal.”
A singularly Impressive and magnifi
cent spectacle scene, among several
Others In the famous production of
"Arslfar (In English), which Is to bfe
presented nt the Grand Friday and Sat
urday nights and Snturday matinee, Is
the Temple of tho Holy Grail In the
fast act. It fa supposed to be situated
on Mount Salvant In the Pyrenees
mountnlns of Spain. Tlie temple Is tho
place of worship of the Knights of the
Holy Grail and was originally erected
for the safe-keeping of tlie sacred rel
ics. the holy cup and spear. ,
It Is into this gorgeous temple that
Parsifal Is escorted by the faithful
Gurnemanx and accompanied by the
reformed anil penitent Kundry. The
assembled knights proclaim and crown
him king of the Holy Grail. Parslful
ascends the marble throne upon which
th# Holy arall Is placed. The assem
bled knights and all present sink to the
floor upon their bended knees ns Parsi
fal, throwing back the knightly mantle
from his shoulders, uncovers and raises
the Holy Grail In adoration. As oe
raises It aloft It glows with a radiant
light that Illumines nil present with Its
rays of restored grace, a beautiful
white dove descends from above, hov
ering over the head of Parsifal, and
the curtain slowly falls upon the grand
and llnal tableau of Wagner's glorious
masterpiece.
“The Two Orphan*.”
* In spite of the fact that "Tlie Two
Orphans'* Is one of the most expensive
productions srenlcally that It would be
possible to produce, the Baldwin-Mel-
ville Stock Company, now at the El
Dorado, In their desire to give their
Atlanta patrons only the best that can
be procured, have decided to put on
this great melodrama this week. JJr.
Maitland, Miss Kent. Mr. Murdoch afii

Two Orphans" will be given Thursday.

expectations were surpassed. Colonel

GOODE PRICE'S NECKTIE;
HOW TWO ST REE T ARABS
REMEMBERED A FRIEND
FIGHT FOR STREET!
CENTRAL AND CITY
WAGING A BATTLE
Foundry Street Side Track
Right Cause'of
•Trouble.
The city of Atlanta and the Central
railroad are mixed up In quite o lively
little tilt over the possession of Foun
dry street.
About six months ago Mayor Wood
ward was notified that the Central was
planning to build a sidetrack on Foun
dry street, parallel with the other
teack* on the crossing. Thla. the may
or knew, would perforce cut Foundry
street In ^vo, and would destroy Its
usefulness as a thoroughfare.
He notified Chief Jennings of the
circumstances, and Instructed him to
station a policeman at the crossing, to
see that the tracks were not laid. The
Central officials, told the mayor that
they did not Intend to lay the rack,
and, after the officer had been there six
weeks, he was withdrawn.
Thing* went along smoothly for ser
ai months, the Central, It Is pre
sumed, watching for an opportunity to
catch the city napping. A few days
Goode Price got a necktie for a
Christmas present.
He got other things, toe, but he
prises < the necktie above all of his
other gifts.
Not because It Is the finest-non per
haps the most beautiful necktie In the
world. Front the viewpoint of a man
extraordinarily fastidious in his per
sonal attire that miktle mlght.be
called 'impossible.''
But not by Goode Price. It came as
the grateful, remembrance of two little
"newsies" to whom Mr. Price had been
kind. He denies that ho had done
anything to bring forth this expression
of gratitude from the tiny street Arabs.
But that's the way of all men whose
hearts are right, and who do kindly
things without a bell and banner an
nouncement of the fact.
Wednesday evening Mr. Price was
hRVIng dinner in a cafe. Suddenly the
door opened and admitted a very dirty,
but a very blight-faced lad. lie gazed
about the brilliantly lighted, warm,
cosy room, and then Ills eyes lighted
up a* he saw Mr. Price.
''Gee,' dere he Is! Hardest man In de
town to fin'.”
He darted out and In a twinkle was
back with knottier youngster Just as
dirty and Just as alert as himself. One
of them held a gorgeously decorated
box In his outstretched hand.
"8ay, mister, dl* here's fer you from
me an' de udder kid. Youse been good
ter us, an' we kinder wanted to 'mem-
|ier youse.' Merry Christmas!"
few days
ago the mayor waa notified thot the
road was again getting auspiciously
busy In the neighborhood of the pro
posed sidetrack on Foundry street. He
notified the chief and a special officer
was again sent there.
It seems that last Sunday the road
had
track and to arrest all trying to do so.
The officers arrived In time to pre-
rent the confiscation of the street, if
such was the Intention of the road. It
seems to he the Idea of the Central
that If the tracks are once laid they
cannot be taken up by the city, except
by litigation, nnd the case can be kept
has about served Its purpose, or
until the city loses heart and gives up.
It Is the Intention of the city to make
the railroad go Into the court first. If
the officials think they have the right to
lay the proposed track.
, . .... Mayor Woodward states that the
-t everything ready for the lay- street will now be fenced In. A line
or posts the length of the crossing will
be erected on the edge of the street,

“As to the attitude of this associa

"While the punishment of the crime
Is Important, and the association trusts
the district attorney will take up the
matter vigorously, nevertheless, tn view
of the fact that tho election Is over
