Translates Bible
Into New Spelling
CLEVELAND, MINN.. June 3.—
Judson Jcnes, of Cleveland, has com
pleted a translation of the Bible, ac
cording to a system of phonetic spell
ing. which he devised himself. Most
of the manuscript is being kept in a
safe deposit vault, while the four
books of the Gospels and the book of
Acts are being put into type.
Mr. Jones begftn his work twenty-
one years ago, when he was sixty
years old, and he has devoted most of

Junior Illinois Senator to Sepa
rate Himself From One of His
Claims to Fame.
WASHINGTON, June 3—James
Hamilton Lewis, former Georgia n, has
so startled Washington that the cap
ital is now in that extreme condition
which is most aptly called agog.
The Junior Senator from Illinois
has threatened to shave off his whis
kers—“Just as soon as the weathef
gets settled to its summer heat," he
says.
"I have accomplished something In
two much alive and widely separated
States," he said, "but I am pictured as
being composed principally of whis
kers, manners and clothes. My ec
centricities are exaggerated”
"What are your eccentricities?” he
was asked.
Colonel Not Just "Frippery.”
"I don’t know," he replied. "That
Is the strange part of it. But to read
the newspapers one would think that
my personality Is all on the surface
—that I am mostly bows, smiles.,
spats, canes and whiskers.
"I have let my whiskers grow ever
since I first went to Seattle," Senator
Lewis continued. "I was 20 years old.
meant to practice law and desired to
look experienced and competent. 1
wooed the aspect of maturity for busi
ness purposes. The custom of many
young physicians justified me in do
ing so.
How He Formed the Habit.
"Then I was ill a great deal and my
whiskers concealed unhappy hollows
and angularities. Finally, whiskers
became a part of my outward indi
viduality. I formed, in short, the
habit of wearing them.
"But I have determined to try an
experiment. This summer I shall
shave off my whiskers and deprive
Journalism of one of its favorite
sources of originality and humor."
His Radiant "Glad Rags.”
So speaking Senator Lewis tapped
the toe of his shoe with his cane and
twiddled a pair of mauve gloves with
his left hand. He wore a pink shirt,
blue cuff buttons, a dark suit of cloth
ing—with white facing on the waist
coat—an indigo necktie, a large sky
colored stickpin and heavy rings on
his little fingers.
In his scrimping days, It Is said, he
held that it was more artistic and
impressive to expend $36 for three
suits of clothes than to wear a $40
suit right through the summer or
winter.

Pine and Cypress
Business Picks Up
NEW ORLEANS, June 3.—More
cheerful news came from the yellow
pine and cypress operators this week
as to business conditions, car serv
ice and demand. From points west
of the Mississippi River the movement
seemed distinctly on the rise and with
the increased demand a firmer tone
in prices was noted. Inquiries were
being received by all mills of reputa
tion and the orders aeked were of
considerable proportions. Stocks in
the retailers’ hands are believed to
be generally depleted and as buyers
are of tne opinion that the market
has reachtd its lowest point they are
eager to get In with their orders
before prices make upward jumps.
American Accuses Noted Singer
of Ogling a Woman in a
London Hotel.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. Juno 8.—Enrico Caruso
was one of the actors in a scene which
has stirred the Savoy Hotel. There
was no sequel in a police court, though
fisticuffs barely were avoided. The
foyer of the hotel at the moment was
filled with departing supper guests.
It appears that Caruso annoyed an
American, who has been a resident of
London fbr the last few' years, by
ogling a woman whom the American
was escorting. Caruso is aaid to have
called the attention of his secretary,
Weber, to the woman in such fashion
as to make his notice of her conspic
uous. In any case, the American took
umbrage, and, stepping np to the
tenor, told him in a voice heard all
over the foyer that he should be
ashamed of himself so to direct atten
tion to any gentlewoman.
"I am Caruso," replied the tenor. "I
do what I like."
The American thereupon advanced
I on Caruso threateningly. The tenor
beat a hawty retreat, taking refuge in
an elevator.
Secretary Weber, being more pug
nacious. took the American by the
shoulder and said:
“If you weren’t an old man I would
knock your head off!"
This Insult enraged the American,
who rushed at Weber. However, a big
bystander quietly interfered, taking
Weber by the arm and leading him
away, despite the secretary's strug
gles.
The upshot of the affair was that
the manager of the hotel took the
American Into his private office, where
be heard the eiory and proffered an
apology. Caruso is still on the hotel
list.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
Entertaining Bill at Forsyth.
“Pop" Ward ft Curran, Lillian Shaw,
Tack Hazard, Seldom’s Models—these
are four of the old favorites at the For
syth this week, enough In themselves to
assure a very nifty little bill. Of course
they are reinforced by the usual dancing
act, the acrobatic number, etc., etc. The
program as a whole Is one of the best of
the summer season.
Old "Pop’’ Ward has a splendid act
which for some reason or other did not
go as big as It might on the opening
night. As Ward saidi "There seemed
to be some doubt as to what he was do
ing.’’ He gets many a laugh, however,
and his partner in character parts adds
greatly to the number.
Lillian Rhaw in her usual repertoire of
Hebrew and German songs scores a big
hit. Her baseball song is especially good
and her ‘‘Marriage*’ number is capital.
Jack Hazard tells a good many old
stories and a lot of new ones. He is a
clever entertainer and his number goes
big.
Seldom’s Models, beautiful artistic
poses, in which two men and a woman
reproduce famous groups of stautary and
paintings, are splendid.
Others on the bill are Wright ft Dllt-
rich, singers; the Three Alex, novelty
equilibrists: Caits Brothers, dancers, and
the Patheplay.
"College Glrlt” Is Good Show.
“The College Girls,” the musical com
edy tabloid at the Bijou, is about the
sort of show that appeals in this sort of
weather, because there Isn’t a blessed
thing to worry about. It Is Just one big
’rah ’rah after another, all for fun and
fun for all.
The company started a week’s engage
ment at the Marietta Street playhouse
with two matinees and two night per
formances on Monday and the theater
was crowded at each performance. In
cidentally the place was as comfortable
as a good battery of whirling noiseless
fans and a perfect exhaust system could
make it.
In “The College Girls’’ there are a
dozen girls and every one pretty and
qualified to sing and dance and wear
pretty clothes becomingly. The come
dians are fun-makers.
There will be daily matinee perform
ances all the rest or the week, two on
Saturday, and two night performances
will be recorded each day.

If You Rightly Appreciate Good Health
You can not place too high a value upon comfort. And no
one can fail to appreciate the relationship of summer home fur
nishings to comfort.
The difference between those who live through the summer
and those who laugh through it is more often a matter of fore
thought than of mere opportunity.

of changing their floor coverings. Cool, fresh Summer Rugs are

7 wo Large, Airy Par
lors Take the Place
of Commonly
Designated
Chapels
In the place of what is commonly-
termed as the ‘ ‘ chapel ’ ’ in most under
taking establishments, Mr. Poole has
provided two large, airy parlors,
which are homelike in their appoint
ments. These are so arranged that
two funeral services can be held at
the same time, should occasion arise,
without conflict of any kind. Every
convenience is provided, and a funeral
conducted in one of these parlors is
similar in every detail to a home
service.
In addition, a new, and what will
doubtless prove a most desirable fea
ture, is the furnishing of special bed
rooms on the second floor, where
strangers passing through the city
with the bodies of loved ones can
spend the night in quiet, free of
charge, of course, and be near tbeir
deceased members.
In fact, the new Funeral Home of
Mr. Poole is homelike in its every ap
pearance, and his friends are invited
to drop in and inspeot for themselves
his model, new and handsome business
house.
New and Handsome Funeral Home of Harry G. Poole, 96 South Pryor Street
HARRY G. POOLE’S NEW FUNERAL HOME
A Modern Establish
ment Where Every
Homelike Con
venience Is
Afforded
The friends of Harry G. Poole, the
well known funeral director, are con
gratulating him upon the splendid suc
cess he has achieved sinoe, a few years
ago, he began his present line of work.
Mr. Poole has just moved into his
own building at 96 South Pryor Street.
In convenience and beauty of arrange
ment for its purpose it is, perhaps, the
most modern in the entire South.
Mr. Poole designates it as his Fu
neral Home—and rightly so. Bright,
airy—built upon the lines of a modern
private home—and furnished with
elegant, cheery fittings, its interior
presents at once an appearance which
helps to dispel the gloom so naturally
attendant upon those who have ooca
sion to visit an establishment of this
kind. There is no suggestion of the
gloomy, melancholy air which so fre
quently encircles the business housi
of the undertaker.
