acting president, Interrupted him. The
audience cheered. Dr. Poteat ended
Ills speech on “National Steward
ship” with a few more sentences.
Dr. Poteat was the last speaker,
and when he arose he asked if the •
audience would rather listen to his
speech or go home to sleep. The
crowd urged him to proceed. Soon he
was discussing the Jews.
Scores the Hebrews.
“They have failed in their steward
ship,” he said. “The Protestants
have beeh making the real progress.”
Then he turned to the Catholics,
saying:
“We must rise up and say that no
church with its head abroad shall
gain dominion in this country. It
must not be allowed.
“1 don’t see why a red cap on a
man’s head adds any sense to his
brains ”
Dr. McKelway interrupted.
“Pardon me, but there can be no
discussion along denominational
lines.” he said.
Audience Cheers McKelway.
Dr. Poteat thanked him. The au

Dr. McKelway said all denomina

NEW YORK, April 29.—Supreme

“Kissless Bride,” is not kissless.

whenever he off red to caress or kiss

“Liked to Be Kissed.”
Here is the judicial finding concern
ing Dr. Samarelli’s allegation that
his wife was "marble-hearted:”
Ever since the marriage Mrs.
Samarelli has treated her hus
band in an affectionate and kind
manner. She has kissed, hugged
and embraced him continually.
She liked to be kissed, hugged
and embraced by her husband,
and has at all times been affec
tionate and kind to him.
The Court reviewed the evidence
which showed that Dr. Samarelli and
his bride, who was known as “The
Rose of Palermo,” went to Niagara
Falls and Canada on their honey
moon. On their return he installed
his sister and brother-in-law in the
bridal chamber of his house, and a
few days later told his wife he was
through with her.
Called Her Cold.
He said he had done these things
because his bride was cold and in
different. He said she shut herself
in her mother’s apartment and re
fused to greet him with affection.
The Court holds he was at fault in
abandoning his wife and refusing her
attempts to be reconciled.
Dr. Samarelli started an annull-
ment action, but discontinued it be
fore trial. It is said that he may
take an appeal from Justice Ger
ard's decision.

HEARST’S
SUNDAY AMERICAN
AND
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
By JAME B. NEVIN.
A handsome marble, monument to
the memory of the late Governor Al
len D. Candler, the “one-eyed plow
boy of, Pigeon Roost,” twice Chief
Magistral of Georgia, and thr
times a Representative In Congress,
is to be unveiled in Gainesville on
June 3, Jefferson Davis’s birthday.
The stone will mark the late Gov
ernor's last resting place, and will
be paid for by about one hundred of
his appointees to office when occu
pying the executive chair of the
State.
The idea was conceived by Pension
Commissioner Lindsey, and his appeal
to the former office holders under
“Uncle Allen” was responded to read
ily and gladly. The sum of $300 was
quickly raised, and with this a modi hi
and fitting memorial will be fecun d
-just such as the late Governor him
self would approve of, no doubt, it
will be presented to Mrs. Candler on
the birthday of the great Confederate
chieftain, Davis, with simple and en
tirely unostentatious ceremony.
Governor Candler was one of the
best beloved of the long and distin
guished line of Georgia Chief Magis
trates. He was a Democrat of the
old school, and first came into prom
inence by defeating Judge Emory
Speer, then an Independent Represen
tative in the national Congress. It
was during that fierce campaign that
he came by the nickname that stuc'
to him ever thereafter—“the one-eyed
plow* boy of Pigeon Roost!"
This appellation was burled at him
in derision, but it acted as a boom
erang upon those who launched it.
It very greatly endeared him to tin
masses of the plain people, with
whom he ever was particularly strong
in his public life.
After serving three terms in Wash
ington, Governor Candler was fleeted
Secretary of State for Georgia and
served in that office many years, until
called to the Governorship. Ho was
a plain, old-fashioned, outspoken s<»rt
of person, rugged in his honeety and
uncompromising in his high ideal
His portrait now adorns the wall of
the Governor's reception room in t)
state capitol. This likeness, which is
a fine one. shows in every line what
manner of man he was.
Allen D. Candler was one of the
most picturesque men who ever oc
cupied the Governor's chair in Geor
gia, and one of the most genuinely
popular. He was the last of G< rr-
gia’s ex-Confederate Executives.
It is not generally known in At
lanta. although it is a fact, that Dr.
.William M. Baird once was Speaker of
the House of Representatives in the
New Jersey Legislature and served
one term in the early 70s with credit
and distinction. He was affiliated
w’ith the Democratic side.
The doctor soon threw up politics,
however, and took to medicine, which
he found more interesting and suited
to his tastes. He has lived in At
lanta about 12 years.
Representative-elect Charles A. Pie-
quet, of Richmond County, has rented
h home in Decatur for the summer
session of the Legislature, and will
motor to and from hit* Legislative
duties in Atlatna every day.
He will bring his family f! r . ■
the country from Augusta to Atlanta
in a big seven-passenger car an i • *.
pects to entertain considerably while
sojourning in and near the capital.
Says The Montgomery Monitor:
“When a horse falls sick every pa
ing man will suggest a pure-enn-
remedy to the owner. Before Gov.
John M. Slaton assumes the G»\
ernmental reins of Georgia he will
have advice enough offered to last
through the two terms that will prob
ably be given him.”
The Governor-elect is most cour
teous, kindly and considerate—-thnM-
are reasons why be is so well liked
by everybody—but, while he will lis
ten patiently to much advice, he may
be depended upon to accept such as
pleases him and reject such as* dot
not. He has a head of his own, all
right!
The Southern Railway has done tl
only fair and square thing that is
to be done in the matter of comply
ing with recently-enacted Georgia
law*s with reference to the abolition
of the old-time general drinking cup
used aboard trains, by deciding to
furnish hereafter all passengers with
individual sanitary drinking cups, io
be thrown away after use.
The cups will be collapsible, mad
of oiled paper, and to be had mere!;
for the asking. All conductors will
be supplied at once with a full sup
ply of these cups for use on the
trains.
It is expected that the other made
operating in Georgia will follow the
Southern’s lead in this matter. The
law, which was perfected by the last
Legislature, is very strict in its
clauses prohibiting the use of a gen
eral drinking cup aboard trains.
A compulsory education law will be
offered In the Georgia Legislature
when it assembles in June.
This matter has been proposed in
the General Assembly more than once,
but nothing so far has come of it.
This time, however, the proposition is
to be more aggressively urged than it
•has been heretofore, and there is
thought to be a fair chance of the
passage of some sort of law bearing
on the subject
Heretofore, the attempted passage
of child labor laws has more or less
interfered with the passage of com
pulsory education laws. It is realized
that the latter will become an im
mediate and absolute necessity, once
satisfactory chiid labor laws are en
acted, but It will be possible to pa«s
more satisfactory and more intelli
gent compulsory education laws, per
haps, after the child labor laws are
framed and approved.
As both measures will be agitated
in the next Legislature, it looks as
if the two propositions may be com
bined somewhere along the line, thus
increasing the chances of success to
both.

“Billy the Kid” at Lyric.
“Billy the Kid,” the real rapid-fire
ccess of the cow country, never shot
himself into favor quicker in the Pan
handle than “Billy the Kid,” the Ly
ric’s popular offering this week, did at
that playhouse last night. Berkeley
Haswell; fair-haired and boyish, scored
heavily as the young desperado, turned
from a careless lad into a terror of
the border country by th© villainy of
his father. In addition to slo wing ex
treme dexterity in getting the drop on
iis enemies, the young star has a voice
)f no mean quality and knows how to
use it. The play, in addition to having
plenty of powder smoke, has some real
thou and comedy. Haswell, in the
hair-trigger leading role, has good sup
port in Robert Brooks, as his supposed
foster-father And later the manager of
:he Broken Heart saloon. James Dow
dell makes a line blustering bad man
and Edna Holloway's make-up as a
dance hall girl gives a strong touch of
realism. There are several stirring
•limaxes. notably the fight in the dark
in the Broken Heart saloon. “Billy the
Kid” possesses what the “movie” wild
West drama can ot convey, the smell <>?
powder smoke and rough voices, an><
more than pleased the large opening
audience.
“Butterfly on the Wheel” Pleases.
A splendid* audience witnessed the
premier of “A Butterfly on the Wheel,’’
played by -Miss Billy Long and her j
stock company at the Atlanta last night,
and were pleased with its presentation.
The play is the old, old story of the j
butterfly wife, the professional man who (
is too busy with the affairs of the world I
to be an Ideal husband for such a wife :
and the serpent in the guise of a friend !
who loves too well, unwisel>\ and is '
not overnice in placing ms affections or
earing for the consequences.
The story is absorbingly interesting
and even if it is what is commonly
termed a drawing room drama it affords
tense scenes and thrilling incidents, and |
these make up much- for the lack of ,
action.
Miss Long proved splendidly versa
tile in her delineation of the thought; :-»s
wife, who lived her lift* only in the ;
present with never a thought of the
consequences. Following the totally
different part of the widow in “Wild
fire” of last week, her imterpretation
of the wife this week is also thoroughly j
enjoyable.
Allan Robinson, as Lord Ellerdine, a
tnlomat with no diplomacy, had some
splendid lines and delivered them with
all their effect and force—and, as the
part is the only comedy character In
the story, he soon became a favorite.
Others in the cast did well, and are
due much credit for their splendid work.
Especially may this be emphasized when
it is known that the parts were only
finally cast last Thursday, due to a
delay in securing the manuscript. Much
of the, crudeness in one or two spots ;
in the work of last night may be for- j
given when this is known, and one or ,
t wo more performances will see this ;
pass away.
