B«v. Robert J. Willingham preached a
line sermon a", the First Baptist church
yesterday raoralnz.
Thfc* in the dnvroto of Mr. Willingham*#
flirjler life, anl he felt it ft great privi*
lege to once more face a congregation
there. Ho bad not Intended to fill the
pulpit, but It wo* bis purpose, to sit in
the congregation and hear the words of
•rtodojn from Dr. mite. He had not
been granted that privilege, however,
es he was called upon c« soon as bis
presence in the city bad been ascer
tained. and won asked to preach the
morning sermon. In this request I)r.
White had earnestly Joined.
Mr. Willingham will be in the city
until this afternoon, -when he will go
on his way to Tampa to attend *ths
Baptist convention there, being com-
spooling secretary of the foreign mis*
(gone board of the Southern Diptist con
vention.
His sermon yesterday morning was on
patience. The subject was handled cn
only a man of experience and profound
thought could handle It. The distin*
gulshed Baptist reviewed the history of
man’s greatest achievements and Ulus-
tluted by many of <thera' that patience
fj«-l been the secret of their success. He
referred to the men of the Bible whose
names are destined to live iu history a-»
long os civilisation survives end showed
that but for jaJtience their bleeds would
not have deserved a place In the great
iKVik of books.
Ho toM of pome of the great works of
N 'poloon Bonapirte and showed how
patiently the* great warrior had strug
gled for Aik'ceos.
Th**se and many other striking ex*
ample* were giveu, forcibly and unmis
takably showing the logio and truth
of tlio iniiilsttr's teaching.
But, said he, such patience a« Is need
ed cannot ho had cxjcept through God.
Achievements are not the mailt or
cffei't of chance. They are tho outcome
of patient, .‘nttlllgent work aud effort,
directed according to tho will of God.
God does uot work in a hurry; he never
wae» In a hurry and inen in »thelr hurry
and hawte should not become impatient
ba-ftiibe they fail ‘to do wlut cm he ac
complished only through patience.
The rermon was a stroug appeal to
all nun to do right and trust in God,
knowing ‘that all will end well; and a
edrong Impression was made upon the
inimirt of all who heard, it.

Nanio of the L'hnp»ron Who Caused tlio
Expalslou or Mis* Crnno,
The enforced withdrawn' from the
Charleston ball room of Miss Crane,
tho beautiful young actress who re
cently appeared h(\re with -the "Stranger
in Now York” company, is still being
talked About all over tho country, and
the newspapers are having a great
deal to say about it. As Mncon has
been interested In the Incident, tho fol
lowing special from Charleston -to the
Philadelphia Press, which tells the
name of the chaperon, will bo of inter
est;
"When it beoamo generally known
that an actress was present, one of
the chaperons, with a shudder of hor
ror, shoved tho fair creatures under
her chargo. into the dressing room and
hurriedly sought out. the qthor chap
erons, These ladles unanimously de
cided that tho actress must be ordered
to leave.
"This decision was made known to
Capt. Hamlet of tho Salmon P. Chase,
nmi he ordered Cadet Peterson to take
Miss Crane from 'tlio ball. Tho cadet
was forced to reveal thT* situation to
Miss Crane and request her to leave
wuh him. She was inurtllkU by tho
treatment mid left hurriedly.
"It l» sato to any tlut had Mr*. Lewis
formerly Miss Ithott. the vhuperon who
objected to Miss Crane's presence ait
the hall, known of the stir her action
would create she would never have re-
nucsted the officers of fhc Chase to nsk
Cadet Peterson to leave thu ball room
with the woman he had brought. Mrs.
Lewis’ reported attempts to mako the
chaperones share her responsibility for
the sensation have assumed sometlibiir
of a humorous turn, us tlio rumorod ef-
forta-liave called forth expresstous from
the chaperones which plaro Mrs. Lewis
In a still more uncomfortable predict-
meat. The other chaperones are not
disposed to hear Mrs. Lewis' blame,
they declare, and they mo not afraid
or ashamed to sty so. They have de
nied her charge that Miss Crane was
Improperly dressed, and that her con
duct was unbecoming a woman, which
It Is claimed, has becu Mrs. Low!.’ only
JurtifluBtUu tor requesting Miss Crane's
retirement.
"Soino of tlio chaperons hint thnt Miss
Lewis, tho daughter of the chaperon,
h*d something to do with Mrs. Lewis'
dlaploBsure over Miss Crane's presence.
They say that Miss Lewis’ dance curd
was bare of signatures and that she
nroso from her chair for very few
dances., They laugh at .Mrs. Lewis' su-
peraensltlvencss, for they point to tho
fact that Mrs, Lewis’ two staters-tn-
law were on the stage several years
ago. They never, however, took other
than minor parts. Mlsa Helen Lewis
now finds the equal rights platform
more attractive and remunerative than
the .dramatic stage. She his spoken on
women's suffrage before small audi
ences several times in Charleston.
"The society people of Charleston
share with the general public the re
gret over the manner In which Miss
Crane was treated. Actors and
actresses have been entertained by
Charleston's exclusive society on many
occasions, some of Shorn tiring parti
cularly brilliant social gatherings.''

Senator A. . Bacon has returned from

'Major Bacon wa.* asked toy n Tclcffrapn
reporter last nlstot 4f toe
statement in an Atlanta wr bJ J*
saying that ihe had not been Invited to
tho Newnan 'possum supper and replied
that he toad not seen the article, as «
was puMMbed wlt.Tc too was In Washing- ;
ton. When askod tho direct question if
he toad received an Invitation to tho sup
per toe saild ho toad not, -but toad nothing
to say about It for publication. In fact
Major Bacon o'jomed to treat the Inci
dent as a matter too trivial to bo given
much nbten-tioa.
Tho pottbiolnns of the stalo have taken
considerable notice of tho apparent snub
and aro attaching poltttoal significance
to *t, tho general view being taken that
It means that Governor Atkinson, who
was tlio king -bee at tho ’po*sum supper,
intends to contest -for 'Major Bacon’s sent
in tho senate, and that tho failure to in
vito tho senator was equal to the an
nouncement that the fight is on. Others
however, believe that the •failure was an
oversight on <lh* part of somebody, and
that there was no liuencton to snub Ma
jor Bacon.
At any rate, Senator Bacon does not
seem to bo Ohs least talt miffed about <h«
matter nnd is apparently paying lees at-
to.i.'.on to U than anyone else. He is
busy with the great amount of work tea
duties in the senate place Upon him, to
say nothing of his private interest*.
I t would seem that, this is an early date
for prospective candidates for Senator
Bacon’s seat to formally enter the field,
as the election will not be toehl until the*
faJ of 1900; but, in aplte of that fact,
those who claim to be politically wise,
soy -there is no mistaking the meaning of
the supper.

In -these days of the prosatc nnd practi
cal, It Is indeed a relief to contemplate
anything romantic and pocMcal. The
tragedies and comedies of real life are so
common flu. t we are apt to fall to recog-
nlzo -them On their nakedness. Dressed
in v 'itoo art of the dramatist's fancy and
displayed toy the actor's skJH, however,
they become now, interesting and charm
ingly c.utrta.ning. Unfortunately .he
scope of the dramatist dn recent years
scorns to have become dwawfed by the
conwntTo al spirit of *toe 'time*, and tout
few dramas are presented nowadays 'that
are .not constructed with a view or filling
the top Moors of .the theater. Likewise
actors have become more or less utKl-
tainan. But .there are. exceptions which
delightfully prove this rule. Ono of ihe
m.ssi notable of -these exceptions te Otis
