FIJI NOT GUILTY OF SINGING ACT Actor Turns Court to Comedy When Up for Permitting Children on Stage. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Eddie Foy, the comedian, was at tbe*bar tn the Jefferson Market court yesterday on complaint of the Children’s society on a charge of permitting his children, un der the age of sixteen years, to sing with him on the stage. He reached the court accompanied by his son, Bry. n. sixteen. ■Gee, I had to get up before dawn, and 1 didn’t have time to milk the cows before leaving New Rochelle. Isn’t there a green room or other lounging place here where I can rest until my ise is called?” said the comedian. Thomas B. Watson, agent of the Children’s society,'testified that he Gad witnessed the act provided by Mr. Foy ami his seven children —"Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys.” He said e children ranged in this progression: Six. nine, ten. twelve, thirteen, four teen and sixteen years. "Sort of Singing.” "Somewhat of a ladder?” interposed Moses A. Sacks, counsel for Mr. Foy. Quite so." answered Mr. Watson. Then he testified that Mr. Foy sang some songs and the children joined in the chorus. Little Madeline Foy sang a song called "Sweet Marguerite” all by herself. He said she appeared to be about ten years old. Mr. Sacks began his cross-examina tion of Agent Watson by asking him this question: "Did you say that Mr. Foy sang?” Yes; he sang,” answered Watson, ami the crowd in the court room tit tered. Do you call his vocal efforts sing ing?” persisted Mr. Sacks. ■t'. ell. it was a sort of singing." "Was it singing, I ask?” insisted the lawj er. It was an attempt at singing.” an s vei cd Watson. "Do you mean to say the children of M:. Foy also sang?” The children's efforts were better than the father’s.” answered Watson, and his answer was greeted with laughter that shook the court room. He "Talks” a Song. H're Magistrate Breen broke in, and his remarks brought forth a storm of laughter. He said, in deep, judicial tones: Mr. Foy is not charged with sing ing." Mr. Sacks suggested that the court hear Mr. Foy sing and then decide for himself if it is singing, and if, by heredity, the children could sing "The children don’t sing at all." cried out Eddie Foy at the top of his voice. i talk, a song, and so do the chil dren." "I think that might be more satis factory than if you tried to sing,” com mented Magi-trate Breen. The case oas adjourned until Wed m sday. SLEEPING WOMAN.GUARDED BY DOG, WANDERS A MILE ST.

Ha leaves •’rtf chilffren SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Colonel Charles R. Pendleton, editor of The Macon Telegraph, is one of Geor gia's grand old men. He is the nestor of Georgia journalism, uid he !s possessed of the entire respect of his colleagues of the press Whether they agree with him always is another question, and not particularly material, anyway. Thare la no m<n in Georgia more easy to understand than Colonel Pendleton. His methods are direct and to the point. His character speaks in every gesture and his sincerity is made manifest in ev ery attribute of his daily life. During the progress of the state con vention in Macon Colonel Pendleton’s sanctum was the Mecca of all sorts and conditions of politicians and statesmen, near and far, and to keep track of them all, give them the glad hand and a “wel come to our fair city,’’ was something of a tax both upon physical and mental equip ment. Nevertheless, those people were Macon’s guests, and, therefore, the obligation not to quit the ship, no matter how heavy the bombardment of “Howdy, Colonel! was pressing and insistent. Colonel Pendleton stood for the invading army in most chivalric and hospitable style. Colonel Pendleton's work room in The Telegraph building is eloquent of Pen dleton, and tells what manner of man he is. and without Pendleton saying a word. Upon one side of him hangs a life-size oil portrait of “Stonewall” Jackson, on the other side a similar portrait of Rob ert E. Lee. Needless to add, both Con federate chieftains are pictured in full dress uniform. Over in a corner is a group photograph of Grover Cleveland and his last cabinet—Hoke Smith and all. The gray-haired old veteran of the press furnishes the engaging exhibit back grounded by the other things. And there, without words, is all that is necessary to tell what manner of man Pe ndleton is. Colonel Pendleton is, in many ways, a gentleman of the old school —whatever that is. He loves every tradition of the South, but he is quite well aware that the war is over, and he long ago accepted the verdict of the 60’s, but without in any way surrendering a single conviction of right. The editor of The Macon Telegraph sometimes has been called a “bourbon.” He is not —he is half a "bourbon” only. A “bourbon” is one who "learns noth ing, forgets nothing." Colonel Pendleton learns much —every day. But he is half “bourbon’’ in that he forgets nothing. in character and trend of thought, he is every inch a man—and every inch a news paperman. The Savannah News in a recent issue comments thusly: The Atlanta Georgian quotes a north west Georgia politician as expressing the opinion that there are gloomy times ahead for his section, political ly. unless something is done to stop the creation of new counties in south |iINSTANT POSTUM I r>t«« \ POSTUM@ 'IMB 9 Gereal 1 1 Po«tuMß C<..

Georgia. He thiuks that through this means the southern part of the state wHI soon have north Georgia "eating out of her hand.” The time Is ripe for a change, because the northern part of the state has controlled ’he state's politics and furnished nearly all of the officers since At lanta was made the capital. But south Georgia will not come Into her own by means of new counties but because of preponderance of popula tion, wealth and resources. The new counties are only an incident. They were made necessary by the growth of this section. It will not be many years before the great majority of the population will be in the southern part of the state, and then will come its political as weH as industrial su premacy. But south Georgia is too busy expanding and developing to worry about the offices for a while at least, and is letting the northern part of the state have most of them If this section presents men for state of fices it will be because of merit and not from sectional feeling. I he "result in Vermont,” which was to tell so much, in reality tells very little. The ancient Republican majority has vanished—but by a curious sort of politi cal legerdermain, It seefns to have van ished into nowhere, rather than Into somewhere. The Democrats didn't get it. Their vote is about the same old vote that Vermont ever gives, forlornly enough, to Demo cratic endeavor. Years ago, Henry Grady eulogised the noble 20.000 that stood always If hope lessly on the Democratic burning deck in Vermont. They are still standing there. This much alone seems certain with respect to Vermont. What the regular Republican ticket lost, the bull moose out fit gained. That's what makes it difficult to say whither politically the ancient Republican majority in Vermont went. In the mat ter of legislative elections, the old time Republican order of things was more fortunate in retaining what never yet has escaped it. M hat shall it profit the bull moose party in Vermont that it defeated the regulars in a state election, on the surface of things, and yet permitted the election of a legislature that will insure a regular Republican governor regardless? Vermont bull mooses may have gained what they straightway would lose again. A man with plenty of white paper and a ready pen will be able to make the Ver mont returns prove any old thing he wishes to prove. DALTON DCGS TO BE TAGGED. DALTON.
