ATLANTA ICE SKATERS
FORM BIG SOCIAL CLUB
To fldil a "oclnl club tenure to the
big Ice rink the Coliseum Companj- Is
constructing on Peachtree-st., betfreel
the Grand theater and the Aragon ho
tel. tile Atlanta Ice Skaters' club Is
being formed, with a charter member
ship numbering already BO and rapidly
Increasing.
The much discussed project of an
Ice rink in Atlnnta has at last come to
a definite realization. The rink planned
and now being constructed by the Coli
seum Company will be modeled along
the most approved lines, to form a
skating surface already demonstrated
as thoroughly practical In a city a*
warm even ns New Orleans.
The surface will be formed by freez
ing In a shallow tank a solid sheet of Ice
stveral Inches In thickness and 60 by
100 feet in extent. As fast as the Ice
becomes cut up by much skating It can
be melted and refrozen, maintaining nt
all sessions, of which there will be
fourteen each week, n perfect skating
surface..
The new skaters' club will be regu
larly chartered, and will enjoy spoclal
privileges nt the rink, certain sessions
being reserved exclusively for club
members and their guests. The list of
charter members already signing up
for the new organization Includes many
Atlantans prominent In club and social
life and lend to the enterprise a dis
tinct standing, which will doubtless
enuse It to feature largely In the so
cial program of the coming fall and
winter.
The rink Is expected to open Novem
ber 1. .Meanwhile the list of club mem-
Dera Is steadily growing. Among those
charter numbers are Wallace W. Dan-

SANS WIGS,SANS SCENERY,
TIM MURPHY MAKES HIT
Tim Murphy certainly won a stronger
hold on the henrts of playgoers than
ever Monday night, when ho opened
the season of 1909-10 at the Grnnd.
He did It by sheer resourcefulness
under most trying circumstances. ".My
Boy," Mr. Murphy's new play and lat
est success, was the bill advertised for
the first performance. But the South
ern railroad willed otherwise. Some
where between New York and Atlnnta
a car containing scenery and costumes
was moving Its tardy way southward.
It didn't move fast enough to get here
for Monday night.
Some less resourceful players might
have called the performance oft. but
not Mr. Murphy. Aitho handicapped by
lack of costumes and the necessary
stage setting, thnt wonderfully sweet
and wholesome play. "Old Innocence,"
was presented.
In their street clothes, without wigs
or the various accessories so neces
sary to stage presentation. Mr. Mur
phy and his company of players clev
erly made the best of things and pre-
senteil the play In n way that won
every one present. ..Instead of a wig,
Mr. Murphy pondered his hair with
corn starch, and the heat of the even
ing now and then formed It Into a
thick paste, which must have given
him some trouble nt <he end of the
performance.
It is probably the first time In the
history of the Grand that a show has
been put on without the aecustomed
scenery and cosumes. At the opening
Mr. ¥.!ir phy made a br,ef statement of
the difficulties confronting them, and
said that any who desired might’have
their money refunded at the box office.
But none did so.
.“Old Innocence” is too well known to
theatergoers of Atlanta to need review.
Suffice it to say the quaint old play re
ceived true and sympathetic treatment
at the hands of Mr. Murphy and his
company Monday evening.
It was announced Tuesday morning
that the car containing costumes and
scenery would arrive In tlroc# for a
matinee Tuesday afternoon,' at which
”My Boy” will be presented, nnd an
evening performance, with "Cupid and
the Dollar” ns the offering.

SMALL PANIC AT

In total
darkness.
Aitho the
building was not damaged and no one
was hurt, the force of the shock shat
tered the lamp ln the doorway of the
station sergeant’s office and destroyed
the fixtures. The gas fixtures t(er© un
hurt and for the remainder of the
night business was conducted by gas
light.
The prisoner© were frightened almost
Into hysterics by the noise and the
blinding flash, but were somewhat re
assured when Sergeant Mayo told them
that no harm was done and that the
end of the world was not yet.

APPEAL OF ORPHANS IS
TO OBSERVE WORK DAY
From the orphans’ hornet ot the South
land, where hundreds of parentless children
belnf rescued from poverty and developed
Into worthy eltlsens, comes the sppesl to the
public to observe Work dsy, which fells this
year on Ssturdsy, September 25.
On that date those who appreciate the
great work being done by these institutions
for the homolesa little ones are requested to
lay aside their earnings and contribute It to
their support.
The work t. .
grown until the
doors to gather In tbo homeless • ones. But
the funds for carrying on the work liavo
not Increased with the demand. While hun
dreds are being rescued year by year, hun
dreds more are crying for admittance. This
cry has become so urgent that orphanogi
workers all over the South have agreed to
appeal to the people to observe one day dur
ing the year as Work dsy for the orphans.
The plan is that every one who is able to
work shall give the value of the day’s work to
the support of the orphans.
"The poor shall *never cease out of the
land; whensoever ye will ye may do them
good."

Biddle Brothers Dies at Home
Under an Assumed Name
Pittsburg, Aug. 31.—Katherine Diet-
rich Is dead at her father’s home, 22
Southem-ave., Mount Washington.
Under that name for several years
had been concealed the Idently of tho
former Mrs. Katherine Dietrich Soffel,
the woman star In the Biddle drama.
In which one tragedy followed another
In rapid succession. During the en
actment of tho early part of the thrill
ing drama sho was the wife of Peter
Soffel, Jr., then warden of the Alle-
gheney county jail, who divorced her
for the part she played.
It Is but a few years since she was
the most widely talked of woman In
tho United States becauso of her part
In the daring escape of the Blddlo
brothers, convicted murderers, from tho
Allegheney county jail. Mrs. Soffol, wife
of the warden, furnished the saws, keys
and revolvers which the desperadoes
used In effecting their escape and fight
ing for the liberty she gave them.
Mrs. Soffel fled with them and was i
taken Into custody when they were
captured after a bloody battle In a»
sleigh near Butler, In which the Bid*
dies received death wounds,
Katherine Dietrich had been 111 fop
two weeks In the West Pennsylvania
hospital, where diagnosis failed to dis-i
close any dlseaso, but she steadily sank
from the day of her entrance, and the
hospital authorities say her death was
due to a complication of diseases.
At the time she became III the for
mer Mrs. HntVel woe living alone on
the north side, earning a livelihood by
dress making, and keeping her identity
a secret. Her four children, Iron**,
Clarence, Edwin nnd Margaret, have
been living with their father at his
home, 73 Maple terrace. Mount Wash
ington, from the time their mother and
father were separated by tho Biddle
brothers entering their lives.

Vital statistics show that more

No disease germ can withstand
