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.

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.

Theshooting took place 'in the base ment of the hotel. Legare Phillips and Enoch Weaver quarrelled about something and Phillips shot at Weaver twice missing him narrowly both times.

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.
