Saturday night Mr. Varner moved on

Into one of the Bowery dance halls and
the ministers, al the popular song goes,
"Walked Bight In, Turned Around, and
Walked Right Out Again."
They were there only long enough t
decide It was no place for the cloth.
“As a young man, I studied phrenolo
gy," said Rev. Parker Holmes, "and
could not help but notice In the mo
nient we were In that dance hall that
among those women In short dresses,
there were many who had In them ele-
ments of the highest order. But their
higher Ideals had been dulled by their
environments."
The party includes, besides Mr. Var
ner, Rev. J. W. Clegg, of Lexington;
Rev. Parker Holmes, of Thomasvlllo;
Rev. D. E. Bowers, of High Point; Rev.
W. M. Biles, of Kennervllle; Rev. R. P.

BETTER CAR SERVICE
Terrell’s Resolution to Em
body Much Needed
Improvements.
On account of the afosenco of several
members, the Joint meeting of the. com
mittees on electric lights, telephone and
telegraph lines and on electric and other
railways, for the purpose of considering
the resolution of Councilman Terrell me
morialising the railroad commission to so-
euro lower telephone, gas nnd street car
rates, will probably not be-held until the
latter part of the present week.
Councilman Pomeroy, chairman of the
committee on electric lights, telephone and
telegraph lines, and Counclltnau Huddles
ton. chairman of the committee on electric
nnd other railways, held a consultation
Monday morulug for the pi
lug u time for a meet lug
tees, but no action was taken, as Coun
cilman Huddleston reported that several
members of his committee were out of
town. *
Councilman Terrell, the author of the res
olution, stated Monday that he will seek to
annual the resolution so ns to request the
railroad commission to compel the street
railway eompnuy to give adequate service
during the rush hours.
“The commission may already have this
power," said Councilman Terrell, "but It
Is not likely that nuy action will be tukeu
unless we request It.
Counellinnn Terrell Is very optimistic
about the action that the committee will
take on his resolution, and believes tbnt it
will be. favorably recommended by them,
and then adopted by council.
"There is no reason why the price of
jlnudii]
reduced by statute to 80 cents,
more expensive to live In New York tlmn
here, for labor nnd everything else is much
higher there than here. -If the people of
New York can get their gas for 80 cents per
1,000 feet. 1 sec no reason why the people
of Atlanta should not he able to get It
cheap, Or cheaper."

“Just Out of Collsge.”
George Ade's latest comedy, "Just
Out of College," which Is to be seen at
the Bijou tonight and all this week,
received the following crltlclam from
the Buffalo Courier:
"Bubbling over with good humor,
sustained by a dramatic purpose and
seasoned with spontaneous wit nnd
sparkling repartee, ‘Just Out of College'
was greeted by a large and exceeding
ly appreciative, audience at the Star
T heater last night. From the very first
the audience wae thoroughly captivat
ed with the dettctcus story and was
kept In roars of whole-souled laughter
nil during the action of the play. In
his newest comedy George Ade brings
out the humorous side of the adven
tures of a young man, a college gradu
ate, who has his living to make, han
dicapped with a lady love and with
III tie besides a tennis racket, a college
diploma and a smooth tongue. The
retire Is complicated, nnd filled with
humorous situations that are appre
ciated by everyone. Like ‘The College
Widow' and other Ade plays, It Is a
character comedy and there Is ample
provision for every part,”
“The Devil’* Auction.”
With each succeeding year Mana
ger Charlee H. Yale evolves a new edl.
tlon for his "Everlasting Devil’s Auc
tion," each one of which surpasses Its
predecessor with the beauties of its
ensembles, scenic grnndeur and marvel,
ous ballots. The production for this,
the twenty-sixth continuous year of
success, will be far and away ahead of
former presentations of this play. New
ballets, new scenery, music and spe
cialties should make this season’s pro
duction of Chnrles II. Yale'a always
welcome "Devil's Auction” a memora
