"Tales of Hoffman," the OfTenbach
fantastic opera to be presented to
night by the Metropolitan, will Intro
duce several stars of the company
who already have been heard' this
week, and one or two who have not
sung here this season.
Carl Jorn, the German tenor whose
work In “Lohengrin,” "Koenigskln-
der” and "Cavalleria" has made him
popular In Atlanta, will sing the fine
role of Hoffman to-night, and three
equally prominent feminine roles will
be taken by Hempel, Bori and Fornia.
Miss Hempel ^vlll be heard as Olym
pia, the mechanical doll, the first
of Hoffman’s three loves. Rita For-
nta. who has never before been given
a good part in an Atlanta season, will
sing Gluletta, the beautiful Venetian
siren. Miss Bori will be the Antonia,
the Munich maiden, who sings herself
to death.
Segurola in Double Role.
The opera will Introduce a number
of leading singers In brief roles. Leon
Rothier. the basso, will double In the
roles of Coppelius and Dr. Miracle,
the latter a weird evengali-Ifke char
acter who appears in the Antonia tale.
Dinh Gilly, who sang so well in ”Gio-
conda" yesterday, will have the fine
role of Dapertutto in the Venetian
scene, singing the superb "Diamond
Song”
Segurola will double the roles of
Spalanzani and Schlemil. Reiss, the
tenor comedian, will have gTeat op
portunity as Cochenille and Frenz.
Jeanne Maubourg will sing the male
role of Xiclaus, the companion of
Hoffman through all his wanderings.
Richard Hageman, the Dutch con
ductor, will direct the orchestra.
The opera is without a really great
leading role, but it makes up for this
by giving fine parts to half a dozen
singers. The three roles of Olympia,
Gluletta and Antonia are usually sung
by one soprano, but the Metropolitan
has such a wealth of singers that It
offers three stars In the parts.
Famous Gondolier Song.
The "Tales" Is famous especially
for the “Barcarolle," the famous Vene
tian gondoliers’ sing, sung in the sec
ond act and played as an intermezzo
by the orchestra. It is led by two
women’s voices, the chorus joining
in the refrain, and the swaying, som
nolent music depicts the rocking of
the gondola in the Venetian lagoons
as the boatmen swing from side to
side in their rowing It is not un
usual for the whole audience to catch
the movement of the air and sway in
their seats in time to the music.
The opera is not so somber as most
of the famous works, nor is it con
nected as to plot. Hoffman, a stu
dent, in a wine cellar with his com
panions. is teased about his amours.
He replies: “I will tell you the story
of my three loves.” The curtain then
rises on "Olympia the Doll,” the first
of the love tales. It changes to the
story of Violetta and then to the tale
of Antonia. Sometimes the first and
third acts are transposed for great
effect. Hoffman and his companion,
Niclaus, are the only characters seen
in all of the acts.
At the end of the third tale the
scene shifts back to the wine cellar,
where the epilogue is sung.

Hundreds of Children Have Be
come Members of the “Club”
Formed by Travelers' Bank,
A papular chord has been struck
Kith the youngsters of Atlanta by the
Ghristmas Savings Club plan recently
Inaugurated by the Travelers Bank
and Trust Company. A systematic
plan to help the kids save their pen
nies when they don’t miss them, in
order that they may have a fat little
check to help sweeten the holidays,
is something new in Atlanta, and the
novelty, as well as the good sense of
it. has helped the plan to “take hold."
Hundreds of children are going to
the bank every day, carrying with
them 1 cent or 2 cents or 5 cents i’or
their first deposit, according to which
class they want to Join, and ar9 com
ing away with the proud feeling that
they have a bank account. Many par
ents are opening club accounts in the
names of their children, and then let
ting the little ones come weekly to
make the deposits themselves.
DECATUR LEADERS ACTIVE.
The Decatur Board of Trade is plan
ning a short membership campaign.
The details of the campaign will be
worked out to-night when the member
ship committee meets in the office of
the Board at Decatur at 8 o’clock.
Granted Insurance
After Long Trouble
There are so many cases of eon-
1 sumption rej>orted where the details
' show the disease started with a cold
or a cough that it Is really surprising
that people are not more anxious to
immediately atop these apparently
minor troubles. Our advice is “stop
the cough or cold, if possible, without.
' delay.” Otherwise more serious trou-
‘ tiles are likely to follow. If the med
icines you are now' taking do noti 1
bring relief, try Kckman’s Alterative,
as this man did:
237 Dean Street. Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Gentlemen: I am giving you be
low a brief history of rny ease, which
1 trust you will use for the benefit of
those suffering from any similar trou
bles.
“About a year and a half ago I no
ticed that my health was rapidly
failing, until at the end of six months
| my weight had fallen to 129 pounds.
I I was troubled with night sweats, a
severe cough and was very weak,
' having in fact absolutely no ambi
tion whatever. About thin time I con-
i suited a physician, who told me my
lungs were affected. Not satisfied, l
went to another doctor, who after
examining me said that r was in the
first stages of consumption. At this
point I started to take Kckman’s Al
terative The night sweats stopped
almost immediately, my cough be
came looser and gradually disap
peared. My weight is now 142 pounds
and my physician has pronounced
me perfectly sound—which, together
with the fact that T have been ac
cepted by two different insurance
companies for insurance, makes me
sure of my entire recovery by Eck-
maii’s Alterative. I should be very
glad to communicate with any one
| who would be interested in my case.”
(Sworn affidavit) W. E. GEE.
Ecteman’s Alterative Is effective in
bronchitis, asthma, hay fever, throat,
and lung troubles and in upbuilding

“There will be no flogging either of
men or women in the Kentucky State
Reformatory while I am warden, un
less every other method of discipline
falls,” was the assertion to-day of A.
J. G. Wells, who was placed in charge
of the Kentucky institution a few'
months ago.
Warden Wells Is in Atlanta to at
tend the sessions of the Southern So
ciological Congress, which began to
ddy.
His attention was called to the re
cent agitation by some of the Georgia
convict camp wardens who wish again
to be given the privilege of whipping
their women prisoners. It was then
he made known his own policy in re
spect to corporal punishment.
When he was told how county war
dens are chosen in Georgia, choice be
ing governed in many instances by
friendship or political considerations.
Warden Wells shook his head in dis
approbation and remarked that a
more destructive system and one
more demoralizing to effective penolo r
gy could hardly be devised.
How does he discipline these hard
ened and vicious women and the near
ly 1,400 men without the use of the
lash?
Here is his answer:
By night classes attended by half
the prison population.
By a system of demerits imposed by
a prison court of the same style as an
ordinary police court—“except that we
treat them better,” says the warden.
By meetings for the guards and
other prison officials, in which all the
phases of criminal life and prison dis
cipline are considered and planned.
By deprivation of privileges for 1
minor infractions of prison discipline;
the solitary for more serious offenses, i
Warden Wells was a judge in Cal
loway County during the night rider
outrages, and won considerable fa
vorable notice because of his adjudi- |
cation of these troubles.

Attempt to Blow Up Bank Owned
by Lloyds’ at Cardiff Foiled
by Police.
CARDIFF, WALES, April 25.—
Militant suffragettes are now spread
ing terror throughout Wales. Early
to-day the police found a bomb on
the doorstep of Lloyd’s Bank in Al- \
bany Road just in time to extinguish j
the fuse and prevent the building

Pace.”

structed of a large tin cannleter,
three-quarters filled with gunpowder
and another explosive.
