JUNE WEDDINGS
ON m i RUSH
First Two Days of the Month
Bring 42 Atlanta Romeos
to Ordinary’s Office.
The magic effect of June is shown
these days by the rush at the ordinary's
office that has been on since first th<-
“Month of Weddings'' opened.
During the two days that the office
has been open in June no less than 42
Atlanta men ,have sought license to
leave the reallns of bachelordom. Hard
ly had the yffii.-e opened on the first of
the montyAvhen young men appeared
in tlte ffi/or. A blanched face and an
air of /■J-never-.an-face-it” told th.*
clerk what was wanted And
license book was pulled off the
shelf. Young Romeo was succeeded
by another who differed scarcely at all
from the first one. Through the day
the rush continued. Ordinary AVilkin
-son noticed that much of the routine
work of the office was being omitted
and called to one of his clerks. Th*
simple explanation. “It’s June, sir," told
the reason and the rush went on.
June has a more potent effect on
youth, say the poets, and the records
on the ordinary's books bear them out.
One prospective bridegroom on the list
is over 28 and his bride's age is given
as 21. Os the remainder neatly three
fourths are at the 21-19 period of life,
when the irresistible force of June can
nnt he denied.

Legislature s First Robin Here
BILL BLEVINS IS PEEVED
Bill Blevins, of the county of Glynn,
has arrived. Mr. Blevins is to the
legislature what the first robin is to
I summer, first harbinger of the nested
days to come. He usually arrives
about a week before the first roll call
and strives earnestly to land a place as
doorkeeper of the house or messenger
for the senate or custodian for the cap
itol dome. Bill never was particular,
always maintaining that his name on
the state pay roll was really the most
important detail of his ambition to
serve his commonwealth.
But Mr. Blevins was peeved today.
He leaned against a pillar In the Kim
ball house corridor and complained
querelously that Mr. Kimball was not
bestowing that attention to his busi
ness which should mark the keeper of
such a hostelry as this.
Loafers Driving Away Trade.
“Hit’s these here cheer Warmers."
Mr. Blevins asseverated. “Look at’em.
Count ’em. They drap inter them
leather cheers hefo’ breakfus and thar
they sets One of 'em drttps a mawnln’
paper he borrowed off’n somebody else.
The neares' man reaches out an gits It,
an’ the feller nex' to him has to wait
until hit's plum wore out.
"That old feller with the billy goat
whiskers has held down that cheer nex’
to the <nd till he’s sunk sech a hole
In it I bet they pull hint out at night
with a bootjack, If he ever gits out,
which 1 has my doubts. I've seen him

' well, an’ it looks like the same old leg
which hit might well be, for the Lawd
knows he ain't had no occcasion to
wear It out. There used to be a man
with a wen what claimed that last
1 cheer on the far side, but I reckon he's
dead. Anyway, I ain't seen him today.
“Regular Customer” Stands Up.
“Hit does appear to me that Colonel
Kimball might come out an’ speak to
them old fellers kinder nice and polite,
and show ’em how they’re drivin’ away
trade. Look at me. now, a regular cus
tomer for ten years, fo'ced to stand up
and lean agin a post. I'm goin’ to get
plum' disgusted and move up to the
Piedmont some day.”
"Why don't you go up to your room,
Mr. Blevins, and take a rest?” inquired
the sympathizer into whose ears the
story of distress had been poured.
"Well, you see,” returned Mr. Blev
ins. "whilst I'm a reg’lar customer, as
1 might say, I ain’t got no reg’lar room.
When I comes to town I live’s with my
wife's cousins out by the Oaklan’ semi

Ain’t I right?”
SHR INER S TO SEE
BASEBALL GAME
Atlanta Shriners will take charge of
Ponce DeLeon park tomorrow. It is
Shriners’ day at the baseball game.
A large class is to be initiated and
the occasion will be celebrated all aft

across the street from the baseball

The celebration will begin at 2:30

Alabama back to Whitehall and on
Peachtree to Walton ' street, where

When the paraders reach Ponce De-
Leon park the Arab patrol will give a

drills will be given there. The fancy
drills will not be given tn public, but
will be performed before the Shriners

After the game the nobles will ad
journ across the park to the old
amusement park, where an old-fashion
ed Georgia barbecue will be served. Fol
lowing the barbecue they will meet in
the St. Nicholas skating rink for the
initiation of one of the largest classes
in the history of the Atlanta lodge.
’ ALTRURIANS PLAN
PARADISE HERE
Dr. Fealy, Occult Leader, Pro
poses “Vibration” Sanita
rium for Perfect Living.
Georgia is soon to have a retreat
where students of the occult may sit at
the feet of the Yogi without journey
ing to the' peaks of the Himalayas, if
Dr. L. A. Fealy, of Ireland, India and
Birmingham, carries out his plans. Dr.
Fealy is in Atlanta today after a lecture
to his followers who compose the Altru
rlan society, and has just returned from
a visit to Madison. Ga., where he pro
poses to establish his retreat and sani
tarium.
Atlanta has not been the haunt of
Swamis and Yogis in Oriental robes,
most of its apostles of the occult carry
ing on their researches in small and
sjign-emblazoned tents, where for a
small piece of silver they delve into the
unknown and emerge with a fortune
In store for each and every applicant.
But Dr. Fealy is not one of these. He
is said to have a most extensive and at
the same time lucrative clientele in
Birmingham, and his income is only
equalled by his lavishness In charitable
work. He lectured last night at the
Carnegie library and this afternoon
and evening ’ will address his class,
members of the Altrurian society, at
the Piedmont.
Believe Absolutely in Him.
Just how many Atlanta women are of
his cult is hard to determine, but the
Altrurlans believe absolutely and im
plicitly in Dr. Fealy and his work. They
say he is a great healer, a master of
the science of vibrations, and to his all
seeing eye there Is neither distance nor
matter.
The writer sat in the drawing..room
of the home of a north side woman of
social prominence as she spoke of Fealy
the Yogi and his work.
"He is a master," she said. “In him
I have perfect faith. 1 have studied
under the great Hindoo mystics who
have visited Boston and New York, and
I have known Dr. Fealy for a year. I
do not merely believe in his powers—l
know.
"It is all vibrations. Matter is mere
ly vibrations. There is really no such
thing as matter. That chair is merely
one form of vibrations, the table is an
other. Change its vibrations and you
change it into something else. When
one is ill his vibrations are disarranged.
The Yogi knows what is wrong and by
his will corrects it.
"It isn’t exactly theosophy, nor Budd
hism, nor any one creed. We take the
best from all. Buddha, Mohammed,
Christ —they are all accepted as great
leaders. Our law is ‘the law of perfect
peace to every living creature.’ The
nearer one attains this state the nearer
one approaches perfection. We have
been studying under Dr. Fealy for many
months. Some of us have learned a
great deal. Oh, yes. he believes in re
incarnation. What we can not attain
in this life we may gain in our next
incarnation.
Became Yogi in India.
"Dr. Fealy is Irish, a graduate of
Trinity college in Dublin, and King's
college, of London. He is about 46
years of age. When young he devel
oped tuberculosis, and physicians or
dered him to the south of Italy. He
had. made preparations to leave when a
stranger approached him on the street
and told him of a retreat far in the re
mote passes of the Indian Himalayas,
and Dr. Fealy went there instead. He
made his way into the forbidden coun
try and there met a mystic brother
hood, the leaders of the cult of which
he is now a follower. He recovered his
health and under their teaching, cov
ering a number of years, became a
Yogi.”
For some time Dr. Fealy has con
ducted a sanitarium and retreat in Bir
mingham, but it was burned a short
time ago. He now proposes establish
ing a larger sanitarium at Madison, not
far from Atlanta, where the quiet and
repose should be conducive to medita
tion, and a disciple of his cult may
"loaf and invite his soul" without the
distractions of auto horns and trolley
wheels.
