TTTTC ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. L ATLANTAN LEAVES TO ATTEMPT TO SWIM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL Little Actress Reaffirms Right to Title of “Dainty” — Her Gowns an Attraction. By TARLETON COLLIER. Emma Bunting—she of the well* deserved title “dainty”—at the Lyric Theater Monday night aroused At lanta to a realization that another season of legitimate theatricals had dawned. In “The Circus Girl” she and her company opened the long darkened showhouse. Everything considered, it was quite an auspicious awakening. Miss Bunt ing’s usual meed from the Atlanta public, a crowded house, was there. The theater itself was as gay of color as ever. The orchestra was energetic enough to set the whole house to pat ting feet and to knowing that thi9 was an unusual occasion. And then there were startling effects in clothes that Miss Bunting sprang on her au dience, causing everybody to stare and gasp. Springs Sartorial Sensations. The last word in fashion, even an unbreathed promise of sartorial won ders, was embodied in the raiment of the little actress. And hardly less than her own well-known naivete were her clothes an attraction. Miss Bunting’s company, particu larly her leading men, George E. Whitaker and Jack Ball satisfied the demands of the Lyric audience, which at times was vociferous in its ap plause. The play itself was well cal culated to arouse applause, being the simple type in which crude, red; blooded American Westerners break into a snobbish English country homo to startle and dismay the occupants. Took Tomboy Role. Miss Bunting, as you naturally have guessed from what you know of Miss Bunting, was the tomboy American girl, unaffected and unashamed of her father, who made his start tending bar, and who confessed that fact even in the face of the shocked noblemai who wanted to marry his daughter for her millions. “The Circus Girl’’ will be the offer ing at the Lyric a" the week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday.

SHI IT HUE Bishop of Natchez Would Make It a Crime to Emigrate From the “Auld Sod.” Irishmen would do better to stay in Ireland and not come to the United States, in the opinion of the Rt. Rev. John E. Gunn. Bi?*hop of Natchez, former pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Atlanta. In fact, Bishop Gunn goes further, and stays that if it were in his power he would make emigration from Ireland a crime, so hurtful does he believe it to be to the best interests of his na tive land, according to Irish news paper accounts received by friends here. Bishop Gunn is now on his na tive soil, and while delivering a charity sermon at Fivemileton, Coun ty of Tyrone, took occasion to refer to the fact that on account of emi gration Ireland was suffering. He said that America had been a fairy land to thousands of the Irish people, and they sought to explore it, but the time was past when such pros perity as once proved so alluring was in evidence. The Bishop feelingly told of the battle in Ireland for civil and re ligious rights, and exclaimed: “And now when our fathers have won the fight there is no reason to abandon the battlefield—to turn over Ireland to the outsiders to do its business, to develop its industries and 11 possess its soil. Now the Irish ; cople have fixity and ownership ano instead of enjoying their own they hurry to the steeraere to begin an unequal struggle again as hewers of wood and drawers of water.” After telling of the successful re sult of the struggle to put the Irish In charge of their own domestic af fairs. and of emigration even after these great accomplishments, he asks: ‘ How long can Ireland last if this daily depletion, this Ainnlng sore, this natural dry rot, sapping, ruin ing, destroying the brain and the brawn of the country, be not stopped?” Eckman's Alterative FOR THE THROAT AND LUNGS.

When the Lusitania sails for New York at the end of the week, he will be its passenger, bound for a try at swimming the English Chan nel—and Just one try, he says. “ ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’ {hey used to tell me,” says Captain Schlomberg. “but this is cm3 time it doesn’t apply. I shall pidk .% day when things look good and when feel just right, and dive into the brine at Dover. I’ll use the last ounce of my strength. If I succeed—fine! If I do not—well, that ends It.” Evrything, he believes, favors his chances. Swimmer Is Right Physically. "I am in the best trim,” he de clared Tuesday. “When the season began here, I weighed 154 pounds and measured 28 inches around the waist. That’s too thin for a swimmer 5 feet 8 1-2 inches tall. 1 went on a milk and cracker diet for nine weeks. It put eight pounds on me and increased my waist measure three inches. Now I’m as near right as I ever wiP be, physically. “Scientists have proved that be tween September 4 and September 28 the waters of the channel are warm est. Captain Webb swam it on Sep tember 9: Burgess made it September 6. I'll be there* a little later when conditions are supposed to be at their best. "After all, it’s bound to be part luck. The weather will make all the difference in the world. I hope luck’s with me.” Interested in Brown’s Feat.

"I wanted to try that,” said Cap tain Schlomberg, “but he beat me M it.” “What if you fail .> cross the chan nel?” he was asked “There still are some swims thar never have been made—Key West to Havana, for instance. I’ll try that next.” FOR THAT TIRED FEELING Taka Horsford's Acid Phosphate Excellent for the relief of exhaustion due to Summer heat, overwork or inHomnla.
