DEEPLY WOUNDED
Hiss Crane, the Actress Will Not Talk
About Charleston Episode.
COMES FROM A SPLENDID FAMILY
Beal Name Is Miss Bows, and She ia the
Daughter of a Springfield, 11l , Phy si
alclan of Good Standing.
After the show last night a Telegraph
reporter called on Miss Crane on the
stage, and asked if she cared to discuss
the affair in Charleston, which has, dur
ing the past two or three days, caused a
sensation in nearly every part of thia
country aad in portions of Europe, says
the Macon Telegraph.
The papers have been discussing the
matter; so have society people, actors
and others and everybody has an opinion
one way or the other. Son e of the
theatrical people think Clement A. Scott’s
arraignment of the actresses of the world
had considerable weight upon the Char
leston chaperons who are responsible for
the scenes in the ball room there, but
Macon society people yesterday, even
before they had seen the charming little
actress, were prompt to condemn the
Charleston people for the course they
had pursued.
When the reporter approached Miss
Crane last evening he told her that he
did not wish to wound her feelings or
cause her any pain. She looked at him
inquiringly, and then with a forced smile
said:
“Well, I believe you. I don’t know a
great deal about newspaper reporters,
but I was afraid not to see you, because
I didn’t know what you might wnte
about me. If you intend to deal kindly
with me I will trust you. My limited ex
perience has taught me that reporters are
like the little girl who had a little curl
on her forehead—“when she was good
she was very good, very good, but when
she was bad she was horrid, you know
it, don’t you?”
She conversed pleasantly on various
subjects, but when asked if she would
not give the people her side of the Char
leston affair, her tender, soft eyes would
fill with tears in spite of herself, and she
would have to turn her head. Eventual
ly she said:
“Please say for me that I never -hall
want to discuss that awful affair. It has
been a sad thing for me. I could endure
it if nobody else had been dragged into
it, but my mother —she has learned of it.
And then the young man who on account
of bis acquaintance with his friends,
sought to make me enjoy my stay in
Charleston—l grieve to think that he
should have been so humiliated on my
account,"
But to say this much required great
effort on the part of Miss Crane, and it
was plain to see that she has suffered
much mental anguish. Even during
the performance on the stage last night
it was noticed that she at times conld
not throw her soul into the work.
She is cultured and refined, and im
presses one that she has been accus
tomed to gentle home influences. When
the reporter bade her good-bye after the
interview she said she had no fear that
he would fail to give her fair treat
ment. One or two of the other mem
bers of the company insisted that she
ought to tell the whole world how
rudely she had been treated in a place
where she had a right to expect to find
civilty, at least, but she declared she
would never willingly utter one word
of criticism about the asst ir, and she
seemed to be weL settled as to che course
she would pursue. >
The manager of the company cheer
fully discussed Miss Cra ie, and said
that never in his life bad he known a
more proper and lady lure actress, and
she bad always seemed anxious to,-
and bad conducted herself while on
the road, just exactly as she thought
her mother would direct if she was
back In Illinois.
Miss Crane’s real name is Miss Bows.
She is the daughter of a physician in
Springfield, 111., and has been accus
tomed to the best social standing.
She only recently entered the dra
matic profession, joining the com
pany of which she is now a member,
when it was organized to play a
aged southern mills have been made
“Stranger in New York.” Those who
know her say she was mistreated In
Charleston, and that nothing in her
life or manner would have warranted
it,even had it oceured in a less cultured
city than Charleston.

of the Christmas bells, scarce, linger

of last - evening’s entertainment. A
variety of games were enjoyed, the

| A Christmas Rose. |

**’Tis. the Last Rose of Summer,”
The sweet, familiar strains of that
charming aria came from a violin in
the hands of a maestro, at least there
was a feeling in them that showed
such skill and power in the hand that
drew the bow.
It was one of those moments when
the busy lawyer, the busy railroader
and the busy newspaper man stopped
in the rush, bustle and scramble in
our dollarcratic race of life. There
are few such occasions when three
busy men stop in the broad daylight
of a brief December day and listen
and make music on a violin. There
fore snch an incident deserves to be
recorded in “high notes.”
There may be more finished violin
ists than Judge Joel Branham, but
few ever drew truer or more sympa
thetic notes from that favorite instru
ment than he did yesterday about
noon. It would surprise many
Romans to hear the eloquent orator
and famous jury pleader play a vio
lin.
The judge has just passed one of the
pleasantest Christmases of his life. He
received an array of artistic, useful
and thoughtful presents from loved
ones and friends, such as would make
the heart of any man glad.
The rose was presented by Capt. J.
J. Seay and grew before tbe recent
frosts in his garden on Second avenue,
and in fond recollection of the lovely
dower, when a Tribune man dropped
into his office about noon. Judge Bran
ham gave the impromptu musicale,
“The Last Rose of Summer, then a
dainty, lively waltz and "Home,
Sweet Home’’ were rendered with re
markable sweetness.
Who says that there is no bright
ness, or beauty, or sympathy, or that
tbe bright star of hope has faded in
this world when busy men wl’l take
time to enjoy such sentiment music?

A CAYENNE COMMENT i
i
-——
On a Poor Reporter W ho Would Give Up
His Beefst-ak to Have Betn the
Afores .ld Spider.
To the Ed’tor of Thb RombTsibvne:
One of your reckless and indiscreet
correspondents has written, I see, an
account of Miss Ayer’s "Spider Bite,”
and told more stories than he will ever
get forgiveness for. What ind need him
to do it. the pnblic generally may never
know. Those on the inside of are
porter’s life will, however, because they
know that tbe reporter must ill his
quarter column with seme sensation or
do without his beefsteak the next day.
So whether what he writes is true or
not, whether it hurts a sensitive, modest,
retirisg lady or not, it must be head
lined and printed and d—n be him or
her who winces under the exaggerated
or false report. The paper has a sen
sation, and the writer’s long, lean,
scant, hollow eyed, rattled-boned old
skeleton has its beefsteak the next day.
Celeste can’t smile on bis sort, for she
is not studying anatomy or articulating
or revivifying old skeletons covered
only with yellow skin drawn tight and
wrinkled with "not more than three
short hairs on tbe top of it.
If a fine fellow, yonng, handsome and
smart comes stepping proudly, along
she may turn and smile for a moment,
but if she does the morning breaks and
beauty lights up the day. If she speaks
a stream of troopers slide softly through
their pearly gate, and he bows down in
adoration and love. It is a discreet,
sensible man that receives this sunshine,
not a hungry correspondent who mur
ders himself by his own indiscretion
and folly. J. Branham.
The Greatest Discovery Yet.
W, M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, HL.
“Chief.” says: “We won’t keep* bouse
without Dr, King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy nntil we used Dr.
King’s New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as in it
we have a certain and sure cure for
Coughs. Colds, Whoopifig Cough, etc.”
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. They are not as good, because
this remedy has a record of cures and
besides is guaranteed. It never fails to
satisfy. Trial bottles free at Curry-Ar
