THE ATLANTA GEOKGIAM AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1912. Nurse Declares She Is Cured of Stage Fever by Atlanta Experience. Cured of a severe attack of “foot light fever” by her recent Atlanta ex perience, Miss Genevieve Goodwin, the pretty 17-year-old nurse who turned reformer anil caused a Federal inves tigation of alleged white slavery, says : she hopes her revelations may serve as a danger signal to young girls. “Cling tightly to your mother's apron i strings; stay closely at home and shun : the worldly glitter and glamor, is a ; message that I would send, through The Georgian to all young girls, especially those who are stage-struck,” said Miss Goodwin. And then she added: “A girl amid home surroundings and safeguards, at work for $lO per week, i is far better off than the girl traveling : about the country with strange com- i panions at a salary of SIOO per week.’’ Dream of Stage -Fame Gone. The girl declares that this, her first ' effort to become a stage favorite, is 1 her last. The dream of becoming a vivacious and coquettish soubrette, she said, once was more alluring to her than the steadj- daily grind of working as-a ; nurse in a big city hospital, amid the natural gloom of wholesale human ills, but when she was awakened rudely, she saw things in a different light. One , rehearsal satisfied her ambition, she , said and she now is ready to return to 1 the simple life. To a Georgian reporter today Miss 1 Goodwin made the first definite disclo sures concerning her Identity. She had refrained from talking of herself, she said, because of her distaste for noto- 1 rlety. J Lives in Little Kentucky Tovyn. Miss Goodwin's home is in Pineville. < Ky., where she is well known anil ixjpular. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. ' W. A. Goodwin. Her father is a well- j to-do contractor and builder. Miss 1 Goodwin recently left her home for Cin- 1 clnnatl to become a professional nurse, and was in the training school ‘of the ( city hospital there at the lime she was I engaged by a theatrical -agency to take 1 the role of soubrette in the Metropoli- ’ tan Musical Comedy Company, in At- , lanta. The girl confidently declared her fa- • tiler will come to her rescue, and said 1 she expected him in Atlanta within a 1 few days Miss Goodwin will not return to Cin- cinnati, but expects to remain in At lanta, at least until the white slave case against Mrs. Emma Pauline Hud son, of the show company, is disposed of in the United States court. Al though she has made no definite plans, the girl hopes to obtain a position here as telephone operator, or else in one of tlie down-town department stores. Through With Stage Forever. She is being cared for now in the home of City Detective W. A. Cliew ning. in Berne street, Chewning, with Detective Norris, investigated her story and started the slavery probe. “I'm done forever wltli stage life — this brief, but exciting experience is enough for me. I'm disgusted and am sorry I ever had any desire to become an actress,” said Miss Goodwin. “And if other stage-struck girls will heed my advice, they’ll take a second thought, choke their false ambition, and live the simple, every-day, quiet life. They’ll soon find they are better fitted for this than for the role of footlight stars. If they wish to escape subtle and hidden perils, they'll certainly stay at home with their mothers as com panions. “As I was on my own resources in Cincinnati, the alluring promises of this theatrical company dazzled me. and I determined to make a try at it, thinking, of course, that some day I'd be a shining star, receiving the ap plause of thousands. I thought it was a clean proposition, else 1 never would have ventured. Had I known of the peril that awaited me, 1 would have fled from it as I would from a venomous reptile. But I didn’t know. When I did awake, however, I lost no time in making my escape. Although, of course, I regret this notoriety that has come to me, still 1 hope that, through my plight. I may be able to save some other wavering girl.” Woman Held For Trial. Miss Goodwin Is at the home of De tective chewning, with an expense ac count of $1 a day granted her by the court until she can appear as a witness against Emma Hudson in the Federal court next March. Emma Hudson was held under SI,OOO to await the action of the Federal grand jury, after Genevieve Goodwin had told the commissioner iter story of her trip from Cincinnati to join a mu sical comedy company, her meeting with men and women of the troupe; of drinking and smoking, and her sud den awakening from a dream of the fotlights. The statement upon which tile Hudson woman was held was tha* she had attempted to detain the Good win girl tn the house to prevent her telling her story to the police. Bob Grier.

W GIVES ALL 8UT525,110U01 Carnegie Corporation Subsid j iary Legatee of Iron Mas ter's Fortune. - NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—A1l but $25,000,- 000 of Andrew Carnegie’s fortune, which ’ will be disposed of under his will, will he i left to the Carnegie corporation of New i York, which has been made his residuary I legatee, and which will curry “on his edu cational and charitable work, according to a statement just issued by Mr. Car negie. in making his announcement, telling how he had gone about putting his “gos pel of wealth’ into practice, Mr. Carnegie said: “1 resolved to fulfill the requirements of i the ‘gospel of wealth’ by transferring i funds and have done so except that I I have fount’, it desirable to retain for a .while personal distribution of my I nited I States military telegraph corps pensions I and Pennsylvania railroad pensions to Pittsburg division men and their widows, ! because my old boys would dislike the ■ change, and so no doubt would others I upon my pension list. “To meet these payments and others I under my will $25,000,000 of bonds upon which the New York state tax has been paid have been reserved. But. the New i York corporation has been my residuary legatee and all surplus left after meet l ing the provisions of my will goes to it. I “I am happy in getting all this off my mind. It 1s a gruesome business, but I find that this earth is rapidly becoming more and more heavenly, so many good men and women I know labor for others. Surely Luther, Franklin and their follow ers were right who held that ‘service to man is the highest worship of God.’ ’’ . In explaining his pension plan, Mr. Car negie cited the cases of three former presidents as affording justification for the project, the announcement of which, he said, was “making the desired im pression.’’ His trustees and himself were all hoping, he said, that congress would meet the situation “by proper action.’’ “Nation Should Provide Pension.” “Not one of us but will rejoice should this be the result. ’’ he said. “We were very qpreful to provide that only in case congress failed to provide pensions to ex presidents the corporation would stand ready to do so. It is properly the prov ince of the nation to act. We all feel | that.” I Mr. Carnegie referred to a recently pub ’ llshed letter which dealt with the circum , stances of Grover Cleveland after his re j tlremenl from the presidency. “I know about Mr. Cleveland," said Mr. I Carnegie, in his statement. | "He told me of an offer he had to serve -as a director an important institution • which would give him a salary. Finding that other directors had no saalrles, he declined the offer, saying his name was not for sale." Mr. Carnegie’s other references were to Presidents Lincoln and Grant, the last named having been pressed for funds even while yet in the white house, the iron master said, while lie quoted from a let- • ter written by Mrs. Lincoln to show that i President Lincoln’s family was similarly I embarrassed.

Andy Wimp camo back to Atlanta today, with a brand new overcoat which swept the ground, a blue hat evidently constructed from the pelt of a well groomed French poodle and the same old smile Andy always wears. The gang around the theatrical clubs gave him the glad hand and as many high balls as he cared to carry—and Andy never was lazy. He says he has some thing new on tap which will bring in so many iron men that he’ll be pension ing ex-baseball managers next season, which is an improvement on Carnegie’s plan, as everybody will admit. ”1 gotta vode-veel act that’s simply a scream." said Andy, explaining his prospects as security for a small loan. "I haven't wrote the patter yet and I’ve got to figure out the plot, but I can get some newspaper guy to bull that stuff some night after the show. But I got the main Idea. I'm going to star Jack Johnson in a three-act skit which tars and feathers him the first round, runs him down with bloodhounds in the sec ond and lynches him as the curtain falls. And I’m goin' to call it ’The Smoke Nuisance.’ Ain't that some idea! I get Hugh Cardoza will book it forty weeks on Keith time and we'll play the beaches all summer—that is, if the smoke lasts that long.” “How's things been on the road, Andy, and what’s your newest graft?” asked Billy Sharpe, who used to be a side-partner of Mr. Wimp in various amusement enterprises under roof or canvas. “What are you so wrapped up in that overcoat for, anyway? It's a swell blanket, all right, but it’s warm in here and nobody will steal it if you keep your eyes open.” Behoid Wimp's “Front,” Mr. Wimp arose, gently stripped off the ornate outer garment and revealed a thin scarlet jacket built of red can-' ton flannel and adorned with brass but tons. Below this was a pair of flesh colored tights which many darnings had failed to render proof against the naked eye. Beneath the scarlet jacket were two layers of newspapers in lieu of a shirt, while a copy of The Billboard served as a chest pro tector and the foundation to which a three-inch collar was carefully pinned. But the collar was clean and the broken patent leather pumps well polished. No body ever saw Andy Wimp when lie didn’t have a good front. “That's the answer.” returned Mr. Wimp. “Behold the papers. The show business is on the toboggan and I’ve hit the bottom of the chute. I rode in on ! the rattler this mornin’, with a nigger . fireman throwin' enough coal at me be- • tween Marietta and the local yards to i keep a poor family warm all through a hard winter. If I hadn’t played the tar ’ get for a tllrow-three-balls-at-the-nlg , ger's-head outtit all one summer at a . Dutch beer garden, 1 wouldn't be here ■ to tell the tale. But I learnt something t about dodging that season. And His Name Was Zeno. "I was spielin' for a carnival outfit up to yesterday, Bittin’ the tank towns South. After I’d made the openin’s I • ducked inside and doubled as Zeno the Lion Tamer. We hit a string of rainy 1 days with mud knee deep on the lot and ! the ghost couldn’t have walked with a 1 crutch. Pop Wilson was the main boss. ’ I struck him for the price of a couple of I beers and he said there was nothin' doin’. “ ‘Looky-here, Pop,' says I, puttin’ it 1 up to him strong, just like that, ‘when's . this outfit goin' to pay oft?’ “Pop conies back at me straight off. “ ‘I ain’t got the coin to pay you all off at once’t,' he says. ‘But I’m startin’ in today. I'm goin’ to pay everybody ' in tlie show, in full. But I’m goin’ to pay' off alphabetically, and you’re down on the pay roll as Zeno, so you’ll bo ’ some time gettin’ yours.’ “’Zeno the devil,’ says I. ‘Next time I join out with a shoestring troupe like yours I'm goin’ on the list as Ajax.’ “And Here I Am—Broke.” “Well, that night 1 gets in a crap game and wakes up next mornln’ with my real clothes laded out and nothin’ left but this bunch of lion tamer’s rig gin’. I'm so sore I slides into Pop's bunk, lifts this coat he paid sixty bucks for in Cincinnati and his parade hat and ducks for the water tank. And ! here I am, broke but in the midst of friends. Who's goin’ to buy?” When Atlanta saw Mr. Wimp last, in the fall of 1910, he was two weeks * ahead of a melodrama company, in turn was only two nights ahead <»■ the sheriff. Andy attached the for back salary, but when the oth® claimants had got theirs Mr. found himself the possessor of orfl painted garden, rather frayed; exterior of Mandy Ann’s mountain in. and one property turkey, built c® papier-mache and not appetizing. aM Mr. Wimp joined out with a medicin® show bound for Florida, where for thn® weeks he appeared on the tailboard 1® canvas clothes, feathers and war pain® and recited the strange but true stol® of old Dr. Gumm’s discovery of a mirac® ulous remedy’ among the Honk-a-Ton® Indians. But he mistook a bottle c® the remedy for his private flask on® night and when he was nursed back tfl health by a village landlord Dr. Gumtfl and the wagon had gone fartheß South. Just Escaped Frohman. "After that I blew East with a ten-S twenty-thirty that had a party tlcke® for sixteen people and needed a mat® to double In brass, take tickets and d<a the heavies reppytwar,” explained Mra Wimp. “It was a little out of my line® but I always was a quick study, an<M when I didn't know the lines I fakec® ’em. I didn’t make no difference. foiS what few yaps we played to didn'ffl know but two plays, anyhow, one beinw “East Lynne” and the other "Tea® Nights in a Barroom,” and we dldn’w put neither of them on. Anyway, ■ gets to New York and looks a round J Charley Frohman or Dave Belascc® would have put me out in leads if I’<M landed a week sooner, they said, but a!9 their contracts had been signed up and] they wouldn’t cancel nobody even for] me. even If I’d have stood for ft, which!

Naturally, when them hounds is turned loose and comes on chasin’ that beef they swings on to me in stead of trailin’ Eliza, and they got a sight more than the beef. Fact Is, they got the biggest square meal they’d had In a month. After that I decided to cut out the legitimate and go back to the business end. This actor’s life is sura no bed of roses.
