CRICHTON'S SYLLABIC METHOD
• A MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
Has Received the Enthusiastic and Unqualified Endorse
ment of Well Known Court Reporters—Taught Only
by Crichton’s Business College, Kiser Building.
OF
IS
Business Department, Under Per
sonal Supervision of the Well
Known Business Educator, Prof.
D. E. Shumaker, More Perfectly
Equipped Than Ever Before.
Crichton'* Syllable I* a new, orig
inal, and thoroughly practical method
of teaching the system* of shorthand
used by a largo majority of the world’s
greatest reporters. “It gets result*., and
It loses no time In getting them."
Mr. William C. Massey, the well
known court reporter, has the following
to say of Crichton's Syllabic. “I do not
hesitate to fay that you have accom
plished something which will, In a
large measure, revolutionise the teach
ing of fchorthand.”
Mr. John Gilmore, .recently official
reporter United States district court,
says: “From the examination I have
made of your Syllabic method I am
convinced that It Is the greatest im
provement of modern yeare. Under
your method the difficulty of note read
ing is practically eliminated, and
only regret that It was not In use when
I studied shorthand, as It would have
saved me a great deal of hard work."
What an Employer Stye.
Judge Howard E. Van Epps, who em
ployed a student fresh from the school,
who complied the shorthand course In
three months, writes as follows:. “I do
most genuinely and sincerely say that
■he is the moot efficient clerk and etc-
nographer that. Jn a Jong course of
years, and with much wide experience,
I ever knew.”
Those who contemplate taking a
shorthand or business course should
write to Crichton’s Business College,
Kiser building, Atlanta, for catalog.

MURDER TRIAL

younger brother of the British baronet,

wife today for the murder of Mr*.

A Point That Counts
And when a style is classed as conservative it’s more
difficult to add a distinctive touch successfully.
Notice the front—Three buttons, but the buttons are
closer together, which gives it a long lapel and longer ap
pearing skirt. It well pleases all young and middle-aged
men—the variation in materials makes it a favorite with
both.
In dark worsteds for example—dark even to black
grounds with plaids overlaid so faintly as to be called
but a suggestion.
In the more pronounced patterns there are browns
aud greys with plaid; and checks of greater contrast—
contrasting either in color or tone.

A congregation that taxed the ca
pacity of the Beth Israel Bynagogue
filled that splendid house of worship
Sunday afternoon at the dedication of
the new church at the comer of Wash
ington and Clarke streets.
The services, although simple even
to.those non-Jews who attended, were
Impressive In the extreme-impressive
In their simplicity.
More than 1,500 people were in the
synagogue. Among the non-Jews in
attendance were Hon. James L. May-
son, city attorney; Councilman C. I
Wheeler Man gum. Judge Reid, Thomas I
H. Goodwin and General Clement A.
Evans.
Toward the conclusion of the exer
cises Harry Alexander, In a splendid
address, urged the congregation to pay
off a debt of $5,000. A subscription
was taken and it was found that nearly
$15,009 had been raised.
After the Invocation, which waa pro
nounced by f|tbbi David Marx, came
the processional, followed by the de
positing of the scrolls In the ark. Rabbi
Loeb led In a Bong service by the choir I
and orchestra, the musical part of the
program proving a delightful feature, of
the exercise*. *
Leon Eplan delivered the key to J.
Saul, the president, nnd In so doing
related ( the history of the congregation
and i
Beth Is'fael Synagogue.
Lighted Perpetifcil Lamp.
Harry Alexander, the well-known
attorney, set ablaze the perpetual lamp
of the synagogue.
The dedicatory sermon by Rabbi Loeb I
proved all that could have been ex
pected. Dr. Loeb has a forceful and
Impressive delivery, a commanding llow
of language and u clear, concise way of
expressing his thoughts, which com
bined to make his sermon an enjoyable
and interesting one.
Rabbi David Marx followed with an
address of congratulation, which was
delivered In the splendid style of the
learned and popular minister.
A violin solo by David Silverman
and a vocal solo by Miss Annie Laurie
Langford, both accomplished musicians,
added greatly to the enjoyment of the
occasion.

Mr. Mantell in Comedy.
Archie Bell, the dramatic writer, had
some very nice things to say nbout E.
II. Hothern, who was acting there aj,
the time. In Mr. Bell’s opinion. Mr.
Hothern Is the greatest actor of the
day. He thinks thnt Mr. Sothern's ver
satility is shown by the fact that he
has run the gamut from light farce to
tragedy, and lie expressed the Idea in
this wise: “Fancy Robert Mantel! In
comedy! Fancy Leo Dltrlchsteln as
Hn mlet!”
Mr. Manteli's manager, Frederick
Donnghey, said this in comment on Mr.
Bell's “fancies:"
“Neither Mr. Brady nor I desire to
quarrel with Mr. Bell's opinion of Mr.
Hothern In behalf of Mr. Mantell. But
there are some things Mr. Bell ought to
know. One is that Mr. Mantell wns a
fine nnd »rue comedian In the years
before he took up the tragic re|»ertoire.
"Mr. Mantell, In Chicago, played
Charles Surface in ’The Hchool for
Scandal’ In a brilliant revival of that
