THE SONNY SOOTH, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL 2,189*
The venerable dramatic writer, Dr Gm •
tarns A. Kane, who is in needy circun -
stances and feeble health, at the age ot
seventy-four, is shortly to be given a bene
fit in Baltimore- He was intimate with
the elder Booth, Forrest, Macrealy, Char
lotte Cushman, Davenport,and others con
spicnons on the stage half a century ago,
while his acquaintance with more mod
ern actors extends to nearly every one of
prominence.
' The Spooner Comedy company has made
a great success throughout the West In
the new comedy drama, A Fight for a Mil
lion. Edna May, as PallieJane Villian,
Cecil Spooner as Benjamin Charles Vil-
llan, ftnd the Chinese specialty by the
Mexican Troubadours, have been highly
praised by the press wherever the piece
has been played. The Spooner Comedy
company is always greeted by lar?e au
diences wherever it is known, which is a
substantial evidence of its merit.
French’s new theatre, in New York which
is to be built at Forty-second street and
Eighth avenue, will be a stunner in many
respects. It is to cost in the neighborhood
of $400,000, but the rentals of those parts
of the building not used for strictly the
atrical purposes will, I understand, cut
down the yearly output on rent account to
something like $5,000. This will be rather
different from the arrangement proposed
to Mr. French by the Goulds for a ten
years’ lease of the Grand Opera House.
Thev wanted him to pay $07,000 a year
and*15 per cent, of his profits. He was
also to pay the cost of repairing the house.
I wonder if the Goulds will find a lessee
at those terms. I am told that Mr. French’s
new theatre will have a number of big
elevators to take people up to the bal
conies, and that there will be several
other costlv devices. They say Mr. Za-
browski, w'lio is also interested in the
Broadway Theatre, is Mr. French’s part
ner in the new scheme.

Miss Katie Emmett will be seen Monday
and Tuesday, April 4th and 5th, in a grand
dramatic ami Bcenic production of “The
Waifs of New York,” which has already
met, with much success throughout toe
country. Miss Emmett is supported bj
one of the be.st dramatic companies now
before the public, consisting of the follow
ing well-known players: Amy Ames,
Geo. W. Thompson, Willard Lee, Leslie
Edmunds, Ida Burrows, Nellie Edmunds,
Edward Clifford, Gus Hennessy, Edward
Lester, Thomas Massengale and Charles
Prior. The play-going public chooses its
own favorites among actors and actresses,
and warms to them season by season, quite
regardless of managerial efforts. As a
consequence it often happens that a mod
est young woman who makes no preten
sions in the beginning of her stage career,
finds herself singled out by the theater
goers and made a favorite before she has
bad time to realize that she is in the pos
session of qualities that lift her above the
rest ot her class. Miss Emmett was made
a public pet without seeking to be one or
§yen thinking of such a thing,

Etienne Arago, tile French writer, dra
matist and statesman, and last surviving
brother of the illustrious astronomer,
Francois Arago, died at Paris, Fr., March
5. He was born at Perpignan Feb. 9, 1802.
He went to Paris, at the age of twenty, to
be a teacher of chemistry at the Polytech
nic School, and instantly became a man of
letters and a politician. He wrote, under
ihe pseudonym of “Dora Rago,” in collab
oration with Ba’zaC, “L’Heriticre de Bira-
eue ” He became a turbulent member of
the Carbonari. The book was a financial
failure. In 1870 be was appointed Mayor
of Paris, and filled his diflicult office credi
tably resigning when it became impossi
ble to prevent the Commune, refusing com
pensation for his services and leaving a
record that tlie accusations of Gen. Duerot
could not tarnish. He was the author of
more than a i undretl plays. Several of
them weie written in collaboration with
Alhoy, Anicet, Bourgeois, Supeuty, Deav-
eigers, Verraond ami Villeneuve. His
principal work was a comedy, in five acts,
in verse, “Les Aristocraties ” pfrformed
at the Theatre Franca : s in 1S47. He was
manager cf the Vaudeville playhouse from
18‘»9 until 1840, when he failed for a sum
amounting to 24(5 393f. Ill 1872, after thir
ty two years of a life of one in abject mis*
erv be had paid in full every cent of his
indebtedness. His plays, mostly vaude
villes, have only a slight, local, inartistic
value; hut a novel in two volumes, “Les
Bleus et les Blancs,” which he published
in 1802, is a picturesque record of the wars
in Vendee. He wrote“UneVoixdel’Exil,”
which created a sensation in France in 1800,
and memoirs of his political career.

Lew Dockstader, the renowned minstrel
comedian, will appear at DeGive’s Opera
House next Friday and Saturday nights
and Saturday matinee. It has been the
aim of the management to make Dock-
stader’s Minstrels the leading company in
America and to that end they have secured
as leading artists the following: George
Powers, comedian, end man ana banjo so
loist, well known and popular every
where; Frank Girard, the veteran come
dian and stage manager, whose funny
sketches have made New York theatre
goers laugh for many seasons past; Me-
Intire and Heath, premier exponents of
the Southern negro in a new sketch, intro
ducing tlieir famous plantation songs and
dances; The Three Marvel les, grotesque
contortionists and dancers in a funny act
called “From the Sublime to Ridicu
lous;” Perry an ‘ l Magrew in a tar-
Ipsuue boxing exhibition. One of these
artists is over six and a half feet tall, while
the other is not quite four feet in height,
hence it can be easily understood that this
j! an nproarously funny specialty. The
vocal department is very strong and in
cludes eight superb cultured vocalists.
Besides the above headlights, the talented
Dockstader will present fill entirely new
and original sketch, in which be will ap
pear as “Our President,” with numerous
bright., witty stories aud original songs
Every performance will conclude with
McIntyre aud Heath’s Ethiopian farce
comedy entitled, “Hotel Punch De Leon,”
which abounds in bright and laughable
situations. The entire company will appear
in the cast, including a band of twenty
musicians and a solo orchestra of fifteen.
The popular old minstrel manager, Har-
rv J. Clapham, who is in charge, points
w itli pride to this company and declares
of all the large companies which he has or
ganized and controlled this is by all odds
the strongest and best in every respect.
A press reception, for a snrvey and in
spection of the new Columbia Theatre,
Brooklyn, N. Y., was given by Knowles,
Hayman & Frohman, on Friday evening,
March 4, on which occasion nothing was
left undone to make the visit of invited
guests enjoyable. There is no gainsaying
the fact that in the erection of this theatre
has an addition to its list of playhouses, of
which it may justly be proud. The new
theatre was built in accordance with
plans drawn by Parfitt Bros., five months
being consumed in its erection. The main
entrance is on Washington Street, addi
tional entrance being afforded on Adams
Street, with an exit on Tillary Street.
Upon entering, one is immedia.ely struck
by tbe length of the foyer, it being one of
the longest in the country. Reaching tbe
auditorium, the capacity and magnificence
of the house are at once apparent. The
theatre stands upon about 18,000 square
feet of surface, having a stage 95ft wide,
and 55ft deep; from stage floor to fly gal
leries is 39ft., and to rigging loft 70ft. The
proscenium opening is 42ft. wide and 39ft.
high. The auditorium is 100ft. square,
and the comfortable seating capacity
of the house is 2.000, with an arrangement
as to position and pitch of floors, afford
ing from each seat a full view ol the stage.
The chairs are furnished by the Andrew’s-
Demarest Seating Co. Each chair occu
pies ever five square feet of floor surface,
and the rows are far enough apart to ob
viate the usual discomfort caused by late
comers and tbose who find it necessary to
“see a man.” Four grand stairways lead
from the foyer to the first balcony, and two
to the family circle, while back of the
seats on each floor is ample promenade
room. Lavatories are convenient to the
foyers, and a cloak room adjoins the en
trance to the auditorium. The architec
ture of the interior is East Indian in de
sign, the coloring being in buff and red,
with touches of blue and green, relieved
by metallic colors. A shallow dome occu
pies the centre of the ceiling, the coloring
of which, in conjunction with that ol the
ceiling, in perfection of detail and harmo
ny of tints, is a triumph of the painter’s
skill. Tiie lighting of the house is entirely
by electricity, 2,000 lights being utilized
for illumination, the arrangement of those
in the auditorium being both novel and
handsome. The beating is through a sys
tem ot small hot air registers placed be
neath every other chair on the or liestra
floor. Before the raising of the qurt^ir* it,
is proposed to force A ilitge volume of hot
air to t he front of the stage to offset the
cold draughts which seem inevitable at
that time. The stage is flanked on either
side with four private boxes of good size,
in two tiers, backed by a small parlor, and
possessing the rare advantage of affording
to occupants a view of the whole stage.
The sixteen dressing rooms Which are all
upon one side of the stage, and reached by
stairs and balconies, are commodious aud
complete to a degree commanding praise
from all professional visitors. The stage i
and fittings are Nick Lorritz, while the
drop curtain Is by II. Young and the
scenery is from the brush of Harley Mer y.
On the occasion of the reception Manager
Edwin Knowles was all attention to his
guests, and at the spread, celebrating the
launching of the new playhouse, a con--
tinual fire of popping corks lent a fitting
eclat, while the success of the new and
enterprising managerial firm of Edwin
Knowles & Co. was drank in numberless
fizzing beakers. The new house is tlie
property of Henry Weil, and is leased by
Edwin Knowles, Al Hayman and Daniel
Frohman, under the firm name of Edwin
Knowles & Co. They pay an annual ren
tal of $20,000. The first performance was
given evening of March 7, when A. M.
Palmer’s original company presented
“Alabama.”
Colin Eaves, whose mother was a the
atrical costumer, thinks his . father and
stepmother have robbed him of his birth
right, and he is suing to recover it. Mrs.
Eaves was the financial backer of Salmi
Morse in the production of “The Passion
Play.” The trouble is over a real estate
transaction. Mr. Eaves claims to have
lost $10,000, and de flares that Charles
Crisdie was a party to the conspiracy by
which lie lost it. Mr Eaves is about
twenty-five years old. His father is the
head, of the Eaves Costume Co., a corpora
tion which, the plaintiff claims, was the
property of his mother. This claim will
soon he the basis for another suit. Young
Mr. Eaves has very little property, and he
says lb a: his father is in receipt of an in
come of from $8 000 to $10,000 a year, the
proceeds of the thrift aud ability of Mrs.
Eaves No. 1. The present suit is brought
in Westchester County, and the plaintiff's
lawyers served papers on some of the de
fendants March 15. They are Albert. G.
Eaves, the father and administrator of tbe
estate of Harriet J. Eaves, tbe plaintiff’s
mother; Charles Crisdie, Joseph O. and
Elizabeth Miller and Mary A. Eaves,
second wife of Albert G. Eaves.

plaintiff, his mother gave a five thousand
dollar mortgage on property she owned in
the town of Newcastle, Westchester coun
ty, valued at $10,000, to Charles Crisdie*
Mrs. Eaves died intestate on June 15,1885.
Up to the time of the death of Mrs. Eaves
the son claims, his father was not pos
sessed of any property whatever. The
only property in the family was that be
longing to the mother. Bhe had been
very wealthy, but her unfortunate ven
ture as Salmi Morse’s backer cost her
something like $75,000. It was after the
death of the mother that the effort to ob
tain control of her estate was made, In
August following Mrs. Eaves’ death, it is
alleged, Joseph Miller began an action to
foreclose the mortgage on the Newcastle
property. It was sold under foreclosure
for $2,500, and Mr. Miller himself was the
purchaser. It is charged that he paid no mon
ey but receipted for the amount of liis bid to
the referee. Mr. Miller held this property
until 1889, when it was conveyed by Mr.
Eaves's father to his second wife, he liav'
ing remarried Nov. 19, 1888. Young Mr.
Eaves alleges that Mrs. Eaves did not pay
Mr. Miller a single cent for tbe property
Tlie manner in which the property was
obtained from Mrs. Eaves No. 1 was, ac
core ing to the son, one complete line of
fraud. He charges that his father and Mr.
Chrisdie conspired with Joseph Mil\prto
wrongfully defraud and cheat him out of
his inheritance; tbat Mr Chrisdie was a
dummy who lent himself to tbe conspir
acy ; that Mr. Miller was equally guilty,
and that Mrs. Eaves No. 2, received the
deed of the property fully knowing that it
was obtained by fraud. The father is ac
cused of having caused tbe mother to sign
the mortgage by means of fraudulent rep
resentations and through duress.

[CONTINUED FROM FIRST FAQN.j
IS IT A DISEASE, OK WHAT IS IT?
Is There No Remedy?
Mr. Editor: I see advertised in Thb
Sunny South infallible remedies for every
disease to which humanity is subject with
one exception. But I don’t know whether
it is a disease or not, nor wbat is its cause.
Does anybody know? It is, I believe,
confined to tlie young. It is in its begin
ning but a slight annoyance to the vic
tim and a subject of merriment to lookers-
on. It a ttacks those in robust health and
usually passes off in a few minutes. In
my boyhood nine shallows of water or a
sudden frigbt was cODsicered a sovereign
cure. Sometimes, fortunately, very rare
ly, the disease, or whatever it is, passes
beyond the pojwCr of these remedies and
then it seems v bid defiance to human
Skill and to produce death in from twenty-
four to thirty-^' X. hours. It is hiccoughs.
In early life / kiiew of two cases of
strong young men, in all appearance vig
orous health, who died in twenty-four
hours; have seen accounts of a good many
similar cases since. Every case that I,
ever heard of which had assumed a form
requiring medical aid ended in death, and
it is said the victims suffer intensely.
I write this because a few days ago I
read an account of a young lady who was
attacked in tlie bloom of health and

MAGAZINE SUCCESSES IN ENGLAND.
The English reading public is said to be
far more critical than is that of America,
but I often wonder how tbat statement is
reconciled with tlie peculiar successes
achieved in English periodical ventures.
The perfect east with which a magazine
of doubtful merit can apparently be
launched in England is astounding.
Take the new periodicals of recent origin
and not one of them could achieve even a
moderate degree of success were it pub
lished in America. The "Review of Re
views” is, perhaps the most worthy of sup
port from the standpoint of true merit,
yet a more shockingly made-up magazine
than is tlie English edition of that periodi
cal would be uifflcult to find. Yet Mr.
Stead has secured an actual sale of 150,
000 copies for his paper. Of the first issue
of Jerome K Jerome’s new monthly. “The
Idler,” over ICO 000copies were sold, yet no
one, I am sure, will say that either the first
or second number of the magazine was
within hailing distance of being even
readable, to say nothing of being interest
ing. In the first issue there was printed
as original, a poem to Mark Twain pub
lished years ago in this country. Then it
had the first installment of Mark Twain’s
story, “The American Claiment,” which is
about through its tedious ruu in this coun
try. The “Strand Magazine,” a publica
tion a trifle over a year old, has also a cir
culation of 100,000 and over, and if you
give it credit for having had three bright
features since its commencement you have
said all and more. “The Long Quarterly’s
is the latest venture, and a success from
the start, I am informed. It has brought
out one issue. This quarterly purposes to
be for fiction what the existing quarterlies
are towards politic* and church matters
A quarterly is alw-ays a dismal periodical
at its best, but this recent acquisition
from London is simply par excellence in
that respect. Truly to edit a magazine in
England and to edit one in America are
two entirely distinct things.
LITERARY WOMEN AS HOUSEKEEPERS.
It is a popular supposition that literary
women live in a sort of hazy atmosphere,
and that the homely arts of cooking and
housekeeping are unknown to them. I was
particularly struck by the fallacy of this
notion by listening to the conversation of
two of the most prominent literary women
of the day at a dinner-party a few even
ings ago. One would have supposed that
such a thing as the pen never came into
their fingers, but that their lives were
spent in the kitchen. The fact is that the
majority of literary women are far better
housekeepers than the public imagine.
While portions of their days are spent in
their “dens,” the kitchen is not forgotten,
and frequently have I sat down to a de
licious Uioner peisonally prepared by a
hostess of literary renown in the absence
or sickness of cook or servant. Mrs. Ad
miral Dahlgren, for example, can cook as
well as she can write. Anna Katharine
Green is a model housekeeper. For years
Frances Hodgson Burnett did all her own
work, and co<*king is not a lost art with
her today. * The Duchess” can prepare as
palatable a diuuer as can her cook. Edna
Dean Proctor is likewise an excellent
co<>k. Madeline Bridges loves housekeep
ing as much as she does to write a poem.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox superintends tbe
preparation of all her meals, and markets
like an expert. Rebecca Harding Davis is
another good domestic manager. Mrs.
Humphry Ward is not in love with the
kitchen, but she lias an intelligent knowl
edge of everything in connection with it
that makes her independent of the whims
of servants. And there is a long list which
one could give to prove, and most conclu
sively, too, that some of our foremost lit
erary women are among the best house
keepers, and do not neglect the kitchen
for the library.
