THE ACADEMY.
Good Attraction Tonight With
Two Better Ones to
Follow.
Courted into church is a simile as old j
as the universe, in fact its precedent was j
established immediately after the meeting j
of Adam and Eve under the famous apple I
tree, but it remained for Mr. John J. Me- j
Nally and the nineteenth century to j
change the caption, at least for playwright
purposes, into
which is the name of the dramatist’s big
comedy success, which Managers Rich and
Harris, who direct its destiny, will bring
to the Academy tonight.
“Courted Into Court” was p.ronounced
an unqualified success from its initial pro
duction in Omaha, from which conserva
tive city it was transferred to Kansas City,
St. Louis and Chicago; and from the en
vironments of that village, which is pop
ularly believed to conceal embryo cy
clones, was put on the stage of the Bijou
Theatre in Gotham, where its value as a
dispeller of the inheritance of the major
ity of the inhabitants of the Western Hem
isphere is melancholy, and its ability to
replace the same with that very scarce but
exceedingly healthful exercise, laughter,
was so much appreciated by dwellers on
Manhattan Island that a desire to see and
hear it was the cause of the Bijou Theatre
in New York City being crowded to its
actual capacity for a period of twenty
weeks, a record of which its managers are
justly proud.
The play folk who will interpret Mr. Mc-
Nally’s comedy here are people of distinc
tion in the comedy world, an assertion
borne out by the following names submit
ted. Marie Dresler, John C. Rice, John G.
Sparks, Jacques Kruger, James F. Calla
han, Damon Lyon, Jchn C. Sorg, Oscar L.
Figman, John Frees, Agnes Milton, Sally
Cohen, May Duryea, Blanche R. Verona.
Carrie Francis, Marion Brighton and
ethers.
A GREAT PLAY TOMORROW NIGHT.
The continued success of “Shore Acres”
is commented upon on all sides, and is an
object lesson to theatrical managers cn the
value of native plays. There is no need of
buying the foreign made article when the
theatrical patron shows his preference for
such works as “Shore Acres,” “The Old
Homestead,” and “Alabama.” Every one
of these pla/s has made a fortune for their
owners, and the demand for plays of a
similar class is constantly increasing. Mr.
Herne has been asked by several noted
players to write for them, but he prefers
to present his own works, and is looking
forward to the production of his new play,
"Rev. Griffith Davenport,” some time next
year.
For the production of "“Shore Acres” this
seasop an unusually strong company has
been engaged. The play wiil be given at
the Academy tomorrow night, and is guar
anteed to be one of the best of the season.
“THE JUCKLINS.”
Mr. Stuart Robson has scored in his new
play, “The Jucklins,” a pronounced suc
cess in his portrayal of the central figure,
Lem Jucklin. He is the southern farmer
in all his humanity, devoid of physical
fear, honest and truthful, faithful and rev
erential toward the help-mate of his years
of toil; self-sacrificing in his love for his
children, with an outlet for his nervous
energies, in his case a complex character
full of infectious sympathy, and one which
is said to offer Mr. Robson a greater op
portunity to display his natural talent and
mellow 7 grace than anything he has here
tofore attempted.
“The Jucklins” was written by Augus
tus Thomas, and is a liberal dramatization
of Opie Read’s story of the same name.
Teh play will be presented here Saturday
night.
DIFFERENT WAYS
The Disaster to the Maine Might Have Been
Caused.
John Stuart Mill, the famous logician,
says that in the calculation of chances no
factor, how seemingly insignificant, should
be discarded. In the category of proba
bilities and improbabilities all the possi
bilities should be icdluned.
Then again, two categories can be made
—the probable and, the improbable. After
eliminating -the latter, th former can be
weighed in the intellectual scales, and -the
heaviest in the series is nearest the truth,
if not the actual verity itself.
Nntil the absolute truth (discoverable
and demonetnaitable by an examination of
the fatal wounds in the ship, shall be pub
lished. speculation will continue to be rife.
Which of the following sumggestions is
nearest the truth? Which is the truth it
self?
1. Spanish treachery.
(Under this may be included all
possible methods to effect the destruction
of the vessel.)
2. Spanish fanaticism.
(With the presumption that the govern
ment officials had no knowledge of -the
plot.)
3. Friends of Ex-Cap tain General Wey
ler.
4. Cuban insurgents.
(If the deed was perpetrated by the Cu
bans who are now struggling for their lib
erty, the motive is apparent—they wish to
precipitate a conflict between the United
States and Spain, knowing that such a war
would result in the island's freedom.)
5. Spontaneous combustion.
6. Explosion of gun cotton, caused by
friction or shock.
7. Explosion of boilers.
8. Spanish spy on board the maine.
(History is full of such examples of self
immolation. The spy, of course, realized
that death would be his portion.)
9. Some of the crew of the Spanish war
ship Alfonso XII., which was anchored
near the Maine.
10. Roustabouts or wharf rats of Ha
vana, for money,
(It must be remembered that Havana is
the hotbed of anti-Americanism. It would
be easy for a wealthy Spaniard to hire
some daring longshoreman to destroy the
man-of-war.
11. Shot from Morro Castle.
12. Shot from the navy yard.
13. Shot from the Alfonso XII.
14. Shot from a cannon on shore.
15. Something in the magazine of the
Maine, which no man shall ever find oat.
16. Trajtor on board the Maine.
17. Mine under the Maine, which "was
exploded by accident.

the NOB I£ S case.
What Are tha Friends of the Old Woman Go
ing to Do?
The -Atlanta Journal says:
Will the friends of Mrs. Nobles, the
Twiggs county murderess, make -another
effort to save her from the gallows? The
time is rapidly drawing towards the end of
her ease, -and unless her sentence is -com
muted to -life imprisonment she will soon
pay the penalty of her crime 'by giving up
her life on ithe gallows.
As yet no aipplioatlon has been made to
the governor or -the prison commission for
a commutation of Mrs. Nobles’ sentence,
and they kino-w nothing of it officially.
There &.re a lot of papers in 'her case on
file in the governor’s office, and these will
be sent to the prison commission by 'Major
Frank Calloway, private secretary of the
governor.
The case will come before the commis
sion first if it is appealed, and it is expect
ed that it will be. Judge Turner, of the
commission, said today that no application
had been made in the Nobles case and that
the (commission knows nothing of the case
officially.
Mrs. Nobles was recently taken from the
Macon to the Jeffersonville jail, where she
was again sentenced to death. It was
stated at tlhat time that an application flor
a commutation of her sentence would be
filed with the proper officers at once, -but
it seems that the friends of the condemned
woman are not acting in haste in her (be
half.
The case of Gus Famles, Mrs. Nobles’
accomplice, is -in the same state as the wo
man’s and unless her sentence is .commut
ed, Fambles will also be the victim of the
gallows.
The Funny Barons of Rnnnymede.
It is recorded, and the record seems ve
racious, that the order of the Barons of
Runnyinede was organized on Jan. 8 at
the house of a Cadtvallader of Philadel
phia. Persons are eligible for membership
who can establish an unbroken lino of
descent from a thirteenth century noble
man who helped to wring the great char
ter from King John. Among the names
of persons claimed as founders of this so
ciety are Bulkeley of Hartford, Lee and
Cadwallader of Philadelphia, Whitney of
New Haven, Winston and Marsh of Chi
cago, Betts, Green, Earle, Bleeker, Par
sons, Pomeroy, Schieffelin, Richardson
and Riker of New York and a dozen oth
ers. They are respectable names, carrying
an implication of solvency, if nothing
‘more. But what a queer society, and
what a curious state of mind in an Amer
ican the desire to organize such an associ
ation and be on its roll and wear its badge
implies! Perhaps it is the expression of a
desire to have roots which is a natural re
action from tho individualism of the
American civilization.
The popular sentiment in this country
is that a man stands for what, personally,
he is and for the money that he has in
herited or got together. It may be that
we ought not to deride persons who wish
to be somewhat more representative than
that, and who foci the need of having
something under them that is less liable
to sudden removal than their own strong
boxes, and something hack of them a little
stiffer and more durable than their own
backbones. The desire to represent some
thing is lawful and wholesome, but, dear,
dear, it is such a fur cry back to Runny
mede! The descent from Adam is more
democratic and only a little more remote.

with a $35.00 diamond pin which had been
hung up as a prize. The race was three
heats of a mile each. Bosworth wen in
the first heat. This made the race all the
more interesting. But of course the Ma

he had desired to cut the interest out. The

WILL WARREN
BE IMPEACHED?
Sensational Report About the
GrandiChancellor of the
Knights of Pythias.
WHAT MACON KNiGHT SAYS.
Nothing Will be Given Out But the
Reticence of Most Prominent
Would Indicate Confirmation.
The following special to the Journal,
published last night, created no little stir
in Pythian circles in Macon last night and
this morning:
Savannah, Feb. 22. of impeach
ment have been prepared against Charles
R. Warren, of .Hawkinsville, grand chan
cellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state
of Georgia. He is charged with neglect of
duty, and other things. The charges will
be investigated in Savannah or some other
place to be selected by a committee of the
Grand Lodge officers.
If Mr. Warren has not been served yet
with articles of impeachment he will be
in a day or so. During the time he is un
der suspension the duties of the office will
be attended to by Grand Vice Chancellor
Vv. E. Algee, of Atlanta. The charges are
.signed by certain officers cf the Grand
Lodge. •
Mr. Warren was elected grand chancel
lor at the meeting of the Grand Lodge in
Sr van nah last May.
The Knights are very rst:eent on the
subject, in fact it is impossible to get any
of them to talk. They say that they know
nothing of the contents of the special that
they can give out and others saV that there
is not a word of .truth in the dispatch and
that Grand Chancellor Warren has given
every satisfaction to the Knights all over
the state. But among the leaders of the
Knights here there Is a significant silence
that indicates that there is more in the
matter than they care to talk about.
Grand Chancellor Warren has a great
many .friends in Macon ;and the are out
raged at the report. They deny it without
any qualification and say that it will be
proved to be absolutely untrue by the ac
tion of the (Pythlans.
At any rate lit ils an intaresting story.
If it is true it will cause a tremendous
sensaitton and ilf there is no truth in it and
it is only a sensational report, the sender
of it were better out of the reach of Py
thians anywhere, a task that might 'be
rather difficult.
