TO HE BOHAN
Moral Reputation of City Los
ing Money, So She’s Bidding
Again for Tourisms.
LONDON, July 36-—Aside from last
year when the coronation, like a circus
parade, attracted visitors from all direc
tions, London has reason to complain that
the number of tourists visiting the city
each year is dwindling and those who are
Interested in the influx of foreigners anx
ious to get rid of their money have begun
to look for the reason why London ap
pears less attractive to tourists than
Continental cities like Paris and Berlin.
After many deliberations these people
most unwillingly have come to the result
that London Is too dull, that It holds out
few promises of amusement to visitors,
who do not like to be forced to go to bed
when the hour of midnight rings the cur
few bell and when gaiety begins In ear
nest in Continental cities.
If it had not meant an actual loss of
money Ixmdon would have Ilkied to con
tinue to pose as the most virtuous and
moral city In the world, where even
naughty foreign visitors were forced to
be good, but as the tourists evidently pre
ferred to avoid imprisoning themselves
even temporarily in an Incubatns of mor
als, it could probably not be considered
a deadly sin to give these people, who
did not want to be good, a chance to de
bauch themselves in London, and so ex
perts were sent to Paris and Berlin to
find out what kind of sinful amusements
seemed to attract the people most.
Cabaret the Proper .Thing.
The experts returned some weeks ago
with the report that in both places cer
tain quaint and rather uncomfortable
cases, generally hidden In cellars or sheds,
and In which people talked to teach other
without, being introduced and on the
whole acted very strangely, according to
English ideas, seemed to attract tourists
more than anything else after the hour
of curfew. These places had all kinds of
absurd and ridiculous names as ""the dead
rat" or “the gay rabbit,” butt on the
whole were known as cabarets.
It was then decided that London must
have a cabaret, a very Bohemian one,
where manners and everything were to be
free and easy and where everyone pos
sessing true Bohemian spirit, and nobody
else, would be welcome. And as ev ry
thtng th London must be a club, the Cab
aret club was formed and a pieice. called
"The Golden Calf’ was opened, into
which you can not enter unles you pay
five guineas for being a member, thus
proving yourself a true Bohemitin.
So, London from now on is vdth Paris
and Berlin—lt has Its cabaret. A Lon
doner went down there the other night
with the most optimistic expectations.
People Very Uncomfortable.
It was not easy to find the cave which
Is hidden in Heddon street, off Regent
street, of whose existence he had hith
erto been blissfully ignorant, but die noted
an open door and a rickety wooden stair
leading into unknown depths. It was the
place, and strangely un-Ix>ndorßlke did
It look. The iron girders of the How cell
ing had been painted green and yellow
and an army of futurists had been turned
loose on the walls.
The floor was well filled wlflh little
round tables and at one end level with
the floor was a stage with a blue (curtain.
As a tourist resort, the place isj so far
evidently a failure. There were quite a
few people in the audience, but a single
glance told one could see they were Eng
lish. The men all looked as if they were
cooling a very hot potato In their mouths
and the women never once dared raise
their eyes from the floor. Then, oficourse,
they were all In evening dress, for- it was
not Indeed after six in the evening.
Everything, however, was Bolhemlan
except the audience, and little Bohemians
on the stage toiled desperately for three
hours to soften the starch of the conven
tional Britishers all'ln vain.

POWER COMBINATION

ROME, GA., July 25.—That: the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
will control both the East Tennessee
Power Company and the Rome Railway

C. Yancey. The East Tennessee Power

At a recent meeting of the Rome city

and in a statement afterward he, de

would have to pay dearly for power be

Copeland says he has evidence that
two companies have already combined,
and he has already introduced a reso

SYMPATHY WITH BUYERS PAVES THE
WAY TO SUCCESS BEHIND COUNTER
Woman 21 Years in Whitehall
Shops Tells of Rise in Mer
cantile World.
Embroideries, laces and veilings, hard
work, close mental application and an
understanding sympathy with the world
that buys—there %’ou have the daily
work of Mrs. Eva Argo, the buyer for
and manager of the “frou-frou” de
partment of M. Rich * Bros. Co.
Mrs. Argjo has been 21 years on
Whitehall sttreet. She has purchased
many times in New York and she has
ordered laces from Dublin and Brus
sels direct. She Is a hard worker and
a scientific worker, but the kind of
work she does is the kind many women
can do.
“In the first .place,” said Mrs. Argo,
“I would rather'be in the particular de
partment I am in for the reason that
one’s associations are of the highest
class. This applies to the beginner as
well as the manager.
Story of a Type.
“The women in the community who
buy,laces and embroideries are usually
the women who represent the best in
culture and in thought. That class of
women can be served intelligently and
without reference to foolish whims or
tawdry tastes. One feels the reflections
of her associations in her own life.
"In telling you my own story, I am
telling you the story of a type, and it
can be so considered.
“I began work In a dry goods store
25 years ago. It was in the Woodward-
Lothrop store in Washington city.
Prom there I went to Richmond and
from there to Atlanta. I was never a
cash girl or a stock girl, but I
at the bottom of the ladder just the
same. In looking back over the years,
I can see but two dominant reasons
why I advanced—a study of the busi
ness and hard, conscientious work.
Studied Carefully.
"Everything which attracted my at
tention I studied carefully. Before long
I began to have a ifalr general knowl
edge of the inner workings of a dry
goods store. This knowledge continued
to grow broader and broader until I
was a worker of certain value to my
firm. Promotion followed in the natu
ral order.
"A number of things are necessary
to success. One must know something
of mathematics, must have an artistic
sense and must understand human na
ture. She alijo must manifest a sym
pathy for every purchaser who comes
into her department.
"These qualities need not necessarily
be developed to an abnormal degree. A
moderate allowance of each will get her
through quite acceptably if she has
the willingness and the ambition. The
lace, embroidery and veiling depart
ment of a dry goods store is a busi
ness any woman can follow without
loss of refinement or without Injury
to her feelings. It has the further ad
vantage of an infinite variety which
proves unusually fascinating when
once its Inside workings are under
stood."
Y. M. C? A. HOME IS TO
BE 10 STORIES HIGH IF
PEOPLE GIVE FREELY
Tentative plans submitted by Chicago
architects for the new Young Men's Chris
tian association building call for a ten
story structure of unique design. The
ten stories -will be constructed if the sub
scriptions come in as promised. The
committee has announced plainly that it
will not go Into debt to construct the
building, but will make it just what At
lantans show by subscriptions they want
it to be.
The structure, as planned, will be of
massive design, built of cream colored
brick with terracotta and stone orna
mentation and covered with a sloping roof
of red tile. Balconies and a roof garden
will relieve the massiveness of the struc
ture. Work will start by the end of this
year and the building committee hopes to
complete it within a year.
Strictly speaking, there will be three
buildings instead of one. The part of the
structure intended for men will be di
vided from that used by the boys. These
two divisions will face Luckie street, op
posite the Tabernacle. Directly back of
them will stand a two-story structure for
bathing pools, gymnasiums, and all sorts
of Indoor sports.

UNWRITTEN LAW AND
EMOTIONAL INSANITY
PLEAS SAVE STARNES
ROME, GA., July 25.—Accused of
killing Douglas Harris, an elghteen
year-old boy, in the lobby of the Cher
okee hotel last December, Uriah L.
Starnes was acquitted in the superior
court yesterday afternoon. On Starnes’
first trial the jury was deadlocked.
Starnes based his defenst on the un
written law and emotional insanity.
He claimed that Harris, who came
from one of the best known families of
LaGrange, boarded at his home and
alienated the affections of his wife.
On the evening of December 28, 1911,
Starnes walked into the lobby of the
Cherokee hotel, where Hartls was
clerking at a cigar stand. After nearly
an hour’s conversation, Starnes drew
his pistol and killed Harris. Walking
to a barber shop, he communicated
over a telephone to some one and is
alleged to have said:
“I got him; he’s dead.”
