The packers have cornered the
Western output upon which New York
primarily depends, and with this great

when Increased prices will permit them
to dispose of their holdings at enor
mous prices.
for tbs Increased price In canned
goods two things are blamed by the
trade. On* 1s the rigid enforcement of
tho pure-food law and the other la a
shortness of crop In certain articles.
The wholesale price of butter has In
creased from 25 to to rents a pound
since August 1, and that means n retail
price from It to to cents, accordln M
the merchant nnd the district In w

butter Is ascribed to two things. The
scarcity of milk and the oleomargarine
law.
Up to the .present the restaurants
have not Increased their prices.

Since the o|>cnlng of the Georgia
School of Technology Monday morning
more than 100 students desiring
technical education have been turned
away from the Institution because of
lack of dormitory room. All these stu
dents are from other cities or states
and because of parental. objection to
rooming oft the campus they can not
attend tha Tech.
Early In July the dormitory room was
all taktn up and the faculty has been
compelled to allow none but the fresh
man and apprentice classes to occupy
them, the members of the other classes
having to secure rooms In various sec.
tlons of the city.
"We regretted very much to have to
turn these students away," said Presi
dent Matheson Tuesday, "hut we had
no place to put them. If we only had
the room we could have from 400 to 600
students In the dormitories.”
The authorities at the Tech recently

be spent In maintaining tho college nnd
Increasing Its facilities for technical

Wilton Lackaye In "The Bondman.
- "The Bondman’’ Is one, of the best—
and the worst—offerings that has come
to the Grand In some time. It de
pends upon the standpoint of the au
ditor, for Mr. Caine's latest dramatisa
tion Is either a very lurid melodrama
or a very deep and soulful work of art
take It either way.
from the standpoint of the
"man on the street." "The Bondman"
Is an Inharmonious combination of
'The Old Homestead," "The Tale of
Two Cities" and "The Lights o' Lon
don." It ha* the farm scene, lacking
only the village quartet; It has the
substitute prisoner a la Sidney Carton;
it has a very effective sulphur mine
scene, with smoke and fiame, In tho
third act, which would do credit to n
Rlaney masterpiece, even to the smell
of burning brimstone—or rubber—
which rose from the demon flames. Tho
lines nre often as mawkish nn appeal
to the galleries as though designed for
the ten-twenty-thirty houses—the sit
uations as strained and impossible as
any mnde-over-nlght melodrama ever
perpetrated.
But, In spite of all this, the play has
strength, though not In the degree that
1s found In the book from which the
dramatisation 1* made. It grows In In
terest toward the end, and there nre
moment* when the story grip* one
with Its Intensity. The company Is a
fully capable one. even down to the two
children who brighten the opening
scenes In the Isle of Man.
But Mr. Lnckuyc Is a distinct dis
appointment In the leading role. Tho
eyes which made his Svengall famous
are still In evidence, but Mr. Lackaye
Is taking on too much fat for a role
In which sentiment ploys such a large
part, and hla love scenes with Greebu
seem almost grotesque at times. In the
dramatic scenes of the later act* he
Is more at home and In the sulphur
mine scerte he rises to his best work.
Sydney Ayres, ss Michael, Is more
than pleasing, and Miss Ferguson, ns
Greeba, while not a powerful emotional
actress, Is fresh and pretty enough to
make amends. Two excellent bits of
character work arc the "Grandfather"
of Hnl (le Forest nnd the Father Fer
rati of Ethelbert Hales, the latter giv
ing a splendid portrayal of the drunken
priest and his new determination.
The play Is handsomely mounted and
the scenic effects are unusually elab
orate, especially the scene In the Si
cilian mines, where the convicts are
seen at work with the yellow vapor
from the mines hissing nnd steaming
In the background. The engagement
ends Tuesday night. G. D. G.

Ray Raymond ns "The Oandy Kid"

astir audience.
The play Is one of th# liappy-go

to this end It Is a mixture of music,
dancing and humor, with a little pathos
on the side. The plot Is not so deep
that you get nervous between acts try.

But "The t’andy Kid," he of the

other ruffians, made the gallery god*

Vaudeville at Orphetim.
The week's bill at the Orpheum made
good with a rush und a whirl Monday
night.
Despite the many counter attractions,
chief of which, of course, was tho cir
cus, the preffy vaudeville house waa
well filled—and If anyone regretted the
choice of tho Orpheum the regrets were
well concealed.
From, the first of the performance to
the last, from the clever act of the
Voiding*, aerial artists, all the way
through a varied nnd entertaining pro
gram and past the moving pictures, the
bill was entertaining, unique and ex
traordinary.
A more delighted, appreciative nu
dlence rduld hnrdly have been gathered
together under a roof—the popular
playhouse was converted for the while
Into nn arena of condensed Joy nnd
unndultered, unbridled enthusiasm.
The management promised a bill
equal to the first one, and thnt opening
bill was an eye-opener. The manage
ment made good the promise. It
quite a* good— maybe a little better,
Anyway, It was all right—all of It
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes In a play

South Sid* Opens.
With nn audience packed to the
doors, Atlnnta’s newest theater, the
South Side, at No. 44 Bast Hunter
street, wns opened Monday night with
a delightful vaudeville program, which
pleased those gathered tor the first
performance. The management has
more than redeemed every promise. All
of the acts were clever; they were
given with a snap and It wns a large
and satisfied audience which left the
performance. Harrison, West and Har.
son, featuring LnPetltf Harrison, the
smallest comedian on earth, made an
other hit. Professor Willis, the light
ning crayon artist, was all that his
advance notices had declared and he
was enthusiastically applauded. Alt-
ken nnd son, the celebrated equilibrists,
whose work at the Pastime lost week
good, were nt their best. Carl and
Carl, In "The Twentieth Century
Tramp." proved their great versatility
hy giving a comedy that was a laugh
from start to finish. There will be mat
inees dally and night performances
throughout the week.
At th* Pastlms.
For clever sleight of hand, mind
reading and legrrdermaln, S. E. Rich
ard* and company, at the Pastime, In
Peachtree street, certainly have a clear
title. Monday afternoon and again at
night this clever artist baffled nnd de
lighted large audiences by his neat
work. Calling witnesses from tho au
dience, he had them to bind him. only
tq release himself in an Instant; had
them to hold him, only to get free.
J. C. Murphy, the bone soloist and
stump speaker, made a hit from the
first and proved hla right to the title of
champion bone player of the country.
His stump speeches were both witty
and to the point. Harry Howard, the
celebrated comedlnn, did an Irish act
fresh from Broadway, In which he sang
a number of new songo, both of which
went well. The bill was closed by
Charlie Coggins, the buck and wing
dancer. (

LAST LICENSES
FOR WHISKY MEN
No more renewals of whisky licenses
In Atlanta after ( o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon.
October 1 Is the last day on which
the city will grant a renewal. This Is
for the last quarter, and as there Is no
other quarter before the state prohibi
tion law goes Into effect It 4s really the
very last day.
It Is safe to say that no new licenses
will be granted between now and Jan
uary 1. It Is hardly possible that even
an application for a new license will be
made.
Under the ordinance adopted by the
council Inst year, all the retail houses
In the city must pay 82,000 a year, or
8500 a quarter. This means that some
thing over 850,000 will be poured Into
the city coffer* Tuesday.

New York, Oct. 1.—“Washington Is
well aware that Japan I* straining
every resource In the preparation for
war, despite the protestation of friend,
ship we hear from certain sources. The
plan to mobilize a great fleet In Pacific
waters Is the most strategic move for
peace that could possibly have been
taken, and shows the necessity for more
ship*,” said Rear Admiral Coghlan, now
retired after forty years' service.
“To duplicate the United States navy
would cost tar less than to maintain a
six months' war with Japan or any
formidable foreign power. An appro-
Tirintlon of 1150,000,060 would build and
equip twenty modern battleships and
give us the greatest navy In the world.

Is to let It be known that you are pre
pared for whatever trouble may com*
whether It has been of your seeking or
not.”
