SCORES TRIUMPH
Mrs. Carthew-Yorstoun, Heard
In Recital at the Auditorium,
Praised by Music Lovers.
Mrs rarthew-Yorstoun, the Atlanta
woman who won fame on the operatic
« age of Germany, scored a triumph in
first appearance before an Atlanta
audience at the Auditorium yesterday.
' j| f Yorstoun, or Madame Esther
Boone as she is known to the operatic
world, would have proved her reputa
tion as a singer of talent and tempera
ment had she sun? nothing Sunday
afternoon but Isolde’s “Llebestod,” front
Tristan and Isolde.
After preparing the way for this bril
liant number by the rendition of the
prelude to the opera, Dr. Starnes ac
companied the soloist on the organ,
giving remarkable color and brilliancy
t„ the wonderful song of love and death.
The soloist included in her program
a selection from Romeo and Juliet
and an aria from Tannhauser. H< r
encores were Tosti’s “Good-bye,” “Oh,
Lovely Night in June" and a charming
little French song.
Dr. Starnes gave his program a dis
tinct Wagnerian tone, although he
played the prelude to Philemon and
Baucis, Gounod, and a dance from La
gioconda, Ponchielli.

Americans Lead World in Spending for Luxuries
'BURN’ 8 BILLIONS A YEAR
WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.—Physi
cians and philanthropists composing
the American Federation of Sex Hy
giene, of which Dr. Charles W. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard, is presi
dent, have produced figures showing
that when it comes to spending, the
American citizen is the prize performer
Os the world.
In a carefully prepared list of the
things along the various "white ways"
of the nation for which money is use
lessly 'blown," the federation shows
that $8,000,900,000 a year is to be prop
erly classified as money "burned" for
things that we really ought not to have.
Ihe wine, women and song account
heads the list with a total of some
thing like $5,000,000,000, and the shop
ping list tapers down to a paltry $13,-
000,000 spent for chewing gum. My
lady s hat costs the American citizen
$90,000,000 a year.
The purpose of publishing the fig
ures is to direct thought to the sex
problem and the white slave traffic.
The federation plans to make a na
tion-wide fight upon the white slave
traffic—a generalization by which it in
cludes all of the sex relationships that
are not classed among the proper. By
the estimate of the federation, it costs
the American public every year $3,000,-
000,000 to keep the white slave traffic as
an institution, including the hospital
expenses that are considered as being
collateral to the evil.
Vice on Credit.
M hen it is considered that the entire
stock of money in circulation in the
United States, according to the last re
port of the treasury department, is but
a trifle more than $2,500,000,000, it will
be seen that the country annually
spends for what the federation terms
collective vice mot e than all of the dol
lars In public circulation, indicating as
an economic proposition that credit
plays a part in the vice of the people
MAYOR’S COURT FINES

LAGRANGE, GA., Sept. 23.—A re

sition for nearly a .quarter of a century.
The records show that during the six

police force city clerk, city council
mayor, street department and health

This record lias been i: i ■ in the

acter. Last year nearly SII,OOO was
collected through the agency of the

The drink bill is a trifle Os $2,000,-

thrown in for the passengers on the
water wagon who order soft drinks. A
goodly part of the drink bill, it is
charged, may be found in the item of
$90,000,000 a year that goes for patent
medicines, seeing that the patent med
icine may go without fear into sundry
prohibition communities where the law
prohibits the "bare-footed” article from
raising its hydra head
In contrast with these figures the
cost of churches at home is given at
$250,000,000 and foreign missions get
$12,000,000.
To meet the chief feature of the na
tional waste the federation proposes
that children shall be taught the entire
story of life; that things hitherto re
served for the adult discovery be made
a part of the infant education. This,
say thd leaders, is to be a fight on “the
conspiracy of silence” by .which the
youth of the land have been kept in
Ignorance.
UNWRITTEN LAW FREES
SLAYER; GRAND JURORS
REFUSE TO INDICT HIM
GREENVILLE. ILL., Sept. 23.—His
plea of “the unwritten law" gave free
dom to Arthur Miles, of this city, slayer
of William ("Cappy”) Jones. The grand
jury declined to indict hhn for murder.
When Miles killed Jones at the door
of his home last July a score of the
most prominent citizens of Bond county
<'intended to sign his bond. Nine men
attached their names to the bond, and
others desired to do the same, but there
was no room for any more signatures
on the document. -
Jones formerly was a boarder at the
Miles home, and Miles’ wife had com
plained to her husband of Jones’ atten
tions to her. Miles had warned Jones
to stay away from his home, and Jones
was shot when lie attempted to break
into the house and attacked Miles with
a club.

Woman Betrays Plans of the

Are Made.
• ———————
MEXICO ClT'f. Sept. 23.—More than
a dozen secret arrests have been 'made
by the government within the last 24
hours in connection with the plot to
betray the city into the hands of Za
patista rebels. The plot, as first’form
ed, was to let the rebels capture the
army on September 16. This was dis
covered. and the conspirators then
changed the date to October 1. All the
details were betrayed by a woman pris
oner, who confessed under torture, and
the secret arrests followed.
All the prisoners are held incommu
nicado, and their names are withheld,
but it is reported several prominent
men are missing from their homes, and
these are believed to be among the sus
pects.
There was excited discussion here to
day of a speech by President Madero,
read at a banquet given at Xochimilco
to the members of congress. The pres
ident declared that if the present gov
ernment and congress elected by the
free vote of tiie people were not sup
ported by.the people and proved unable
to resist revolt, the people were not fit*
for democracy, and it would be neces
sary to call a dictator to rule the na
tion with the sword.
General Huerta has been relieved of
command in the north and summoned
home. It is believed that Madero re
lies on him to save the capital from
insurrectos.

Beautiful Hats
We wish to make a very plain, a very broad
and an unequivocal statement about the hats here
this fall.
We have never shown such beautiful
and becoming hats as we are showing- this
fall. No pinch of salt is necessary; there is no ex
aggeration here. It is very inadequately express
ing the millinery treat that is in store for the
women oPAtlanta. . •
The reason is not hard to find. It is a season
of unusual richness and diversity of shapes and of
trimming, and of color; and this general fact com
bined with the fact that our millinery organization
is such that we can show by first authority the
styles as Paris originates them, puts this store in
a unique position.
Through our connection with the Estelle
Mershon shop of New York, we are brought as
close to Paris as the distance will permit. There
are no delays. What Paris shows we show as soon
as it is possible. We show the original Paris mod
els or minutely accurate copies—minutely accu
rate, because Miss Price brings from Paris not
only the ideas, the “atmosphere” of French shops,
but also the materials that are necessary to work
these ideas out into the hats of the moment’s
style.
Is it necessary for us to talk to you of “lines”
and “sweeping sailors” and “astonishing color
combinations” and of like descriptions that would
fail of their purpose when as a matter of fact we
can invite you to see and try on Paris-made and
Paris-inspired millinery?
