TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 2. 1913.
Leader in Atanta’s Oriental
Colony Brings Bride and
Optimistc Reports.
I.ee Hand. vpo went back to China
for a bride, aVi took an active part
in the establlhment of the republic,
has returned “home” with his wifu
and said to-ay that “despite inter-
nad diesensins, the Chinese republic
will live, ad in time the powers
will be for*d to recognize the new
Government
Hand isjone of th« most popular
young meters* of Atlanta’s Chinese
colony an* sixteen months ago when
he crosserthe seas to wed he carried
with himthe best wishes of a host
of frienc' here. With his pretty
young bi*® he Is to-day receiving the
congrat^tions of these well-wishers.
“My Paid Lee, "has never
been t< America before, and every
thing ' so new to her. She couldn’t
help >t wonder at the great cities
throi^ 1 which we passed.”
L e Hand went to China laat year
prii^rily to bring back his bride. The
rev htion was then in its inception.
jj f nade hundreds of speeches in be-
ha of the rebels’ cause and at one
ty? was enlisted as a soldier. A well
seated man, a fluent talker and in
ured by his intimate knowledge of
le American republic, Hand was an
ffective worker in the establishment
>t rule by the people.
Was Nearly Mobbed.
“I was not the only Chinese from
America who went over there and
made speeches,” said Hand. “The
American influence is what really
brought the revolution to a success
ful culmination; there were a large
number of us and we made speeches
day and night. We told them about
this country and what a free gov
ernment had done for it, and they be
lieved us. I thought I was going to
be mobbed more than once, but man
aged always to get out of the tight
places.
“The republic will live; it is bound
to, because it is founded substantially
upon the principles of the American
Government. Young men are behind
the movement and they are inspired
by the greatness of America. And
every year the number who come here
to study is increased.
“The indistrial growth of China is
just now beginning. Lack of rail
roads has always been the great
drawback. It is surprising how much
building is going on. And the Chi
nese are building.these roads them
selves. ’They have American archi
tects an<? engineers, but it is Chi
nese money and the Chinese will con
trol the roads.
Avakens to Possibilities.
“Another awakening that Isolds
hope for the future is the beginning
of the dining industry. The country
is rich in gold, iron and other min
erals find they have lain idle. Just
withif two years; have any real steps
been taken.
•C/ina is a large country, but it is
crovded. The reason for this is that
the people have been scattered over
wi<t territory, their villages spread
ing out and leaving practically no
laid to be cultivated. There has never
brm any economy rf space, but the
n^vement has already started and
tie towns are being made compact,
j.firmiy believe that agriculture is
he salvation of the republic.
“China has to import too much of
ner food stuffs. They are high and
wages have been so low that the
poorer classes have suffered. That
to my mind accounts for the famines
that burden the country every year.
“Yeun Shai Kat, the new Presi
dent of the republic, is a strong man.
He believes in American policies of
government and is quick to apply new
ideas when he sees* they will suit
conditions there.’
Hand is preparing himself to stand
examinations to enter the United
States Government service as .an in
terpreter.

ing a conference this afternoon to de

Flim-Flamming
The Restaurant.
A young, well-groomed chap en
tered one of the restaurants the other
day—a place where the waiter hands
you a check for your meal and you
pay the cashier.
He selected a table well toward the
rear aad ordered largely. The meal
over, he topped it off with a cigar and
called for his < h ck.
As the waiter made it out another
young fellow hurried in and sat down
by the tlrst.
“Cup of coffee and a slice of pie,”
he told the waiter. “And hurry. I’ve
got to catch a car."
The coffee and pie arrived and the
youth arose and went to the cashier,
where he laid down , the check for
fifteen cents, a dime and a nickel
and walked out.
Finishing his coffee and pie. the
other picked up his check and also
went to the cashier He laid down
a quarter and waited for his change.
“Excuse me." said the cashier.
“Your check is for $3.25.”
There was a protest; the youth
claimed he only had coffee ad pie.
The waiter, called, confirmed this.
The youth got his change and left.
And a little way down the street
the two youths met.
“All right. Bill." said ho of the
plutocratic feast. "It’s your turn now
for the big eats."
And they went along seeking an
other restaurant.
Don’t Be Haughty
In Rainy Weather.
There’s such a thing as overdoing
haughtiness. Not long ago during a
heavy rain a well dressed woman
found herself caught in the middle of
a downpour in a part of town where
there was a good deal of mud on the
street. She came to a crossing where
a board had been laid to bridge the
flood and mud.
As she lifted her skirts to
cross, her purse fell, all unnoticed,
into the torrent. It was rescued by a
man who had been standing under a
shelter at the corner.
“Lady—” he began, as he reached
out and touched her on the shoulder.
“Sir!” She turned on him. “How
dare you?”
“Oh, very well," said the man audi
bly.
And in full view of everybody he
calmly tossed the purse back into the
gutter and went his way;

See “Dream of Freedom”
x
in New York To-night.
NEW YORK, May 2.—Society is
expected to turn out in full force at
the Metropolitan Opera House to
night for the production of “A L>ream
of Freedom," the suffrage pagent.
Judging from the list of box holders
the famous “Diamond Horse Show
will be quite as brilliant as it ever
was during any opera season.
For the first time in the history
of the Mutual Musical Protective Un
ion. non-union members will sit be
side union members in the orchestra.
This results from appeals made to
officials of the union by the suffra
gists to permit some of their musical
members to aid the orchestra. Sev
eral prominent society women will
play instruments for "Votes for Wom
en."
Venuses and Adonises Selected.
Everything is in readiness to-day
for the pageant. The 200 Venuses
were sele/ted some time ago and af
ter much difficulty the Pageant Com
mittee at the eleventh hour succeed
ed in finding forty-eight Adonises to
take part in the pageant with them.
All of the participants have been ful
ly rehearsed and only await their
cues to venture forth upon the stage.
Among the women who have vol
unteered to make up part of the suf
frage orchestra is Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.
Roosevelts Take Star Part.
The audience will be a brilliant one.
The Douglas Robinsons have taken
two boxes, and Mrs. Theodore Roose
velt and the young people are ex
pected to be present. Mrs. Stanley
McCormick will entertain a box par
ty from Boston. Miss Alice Paul and
Miss Lucy Burns will be hostesses
for a congressional party from Wash
ington. Airs. Donald Hooker, one of
the most prominent women in Mary
land, has taken a box. as has Mrs.
Susan Fitzgerald, of Boston, daugh
ter of Admiral Walker.
Col. Roosevelt, -who is always a
star attraction in New York as “isi
where, has consented to deliver a
speech from the stage to-night. It
is understood that the Colonel’s
speech will be strictly along suffrage
lines and that he will not once men
