Dramatic Notes
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Dreamy Strauss music, produced by
an orchestra whose sole business ’s
to play Straus* music, should make
notable the performance of "The Mer
ry Countess," which opens at the At
lanta Theater to-night. There will
be "The Blue Danube," for instance.
But the music, if the chief, is not
I the only charm that Is promised. In
dications in the shape of criticisms
that have come in the course of this
same tour are that there are actors
and singers of ability in the cast, and
i a wardrobe that is apectarular.
A cast of pretentious promise hat
been assembled by Manager Rork. A
truthful tone has been sought by the
Importation of native actors in some
parts— the scene of the operetta be
ing laid in a fashionable Austrian re
sort. The principal parts are taken
by actors and singers whose nanvs
are well known Mabel Baker is the
prima donna, and others of the com
pany are Carl Haydn. Charles Udell,
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
COWES, KNG„ Sept. 12.- The Eng
lish motor boat Maple Deaf IV was
the betting favorite for the deciding
race to-day in the competitions for
the international motor boat trophy
in Osborne Bay.
It was conceded that the United
States did not have a chance to win
back the cup.
CLEVELAND. Sept. 1.—Ullrich
Richter, a contractor, has asked that
sanitary drinking cups be provided
for horses to prevent poisoning by
drinking from stagnant water
trough^
The new drinking cups will be ar
ranged so that the water will run
through them with such force as to
keep them clean.
MEMPHIS. Sept. 12.—Love at first
sight three weeks ago led to the mar
riage here Friday in the Peabody
Hotel of M. C. Gatlin, of Walls, Miss.,
reputed to be the wealthiest planter
in that State, and Miss Bettie Yerger,
a trained nurse of Greenville, Miss.
They met in August through letters
written by Mrs John Stansell. cousin
of the bride and a friend of Gatlin.

Declaring Democracy is gaining
strength throughout the country and
that all that 1* needed now is re
adjustment following tariff reform.
Charles Boeschensteln. Democratic
National committeeman from Illinois,
who is a visitor n Atlanta. Frday pre
dicted a time of great prosperity.
Mr. and Mrs. Boeschensteln arrived
in Atlanta Thursday, following a trip
to Gainesville, where they placed their
daughter In Brenau College.
Mr. Boeschensteln speaks with au
thority on the national political situa
tion. a9 he is recognized as a keen
political student. In recognition of
his services politically in Illinois he
probably will be the party's candidate
for United States Senator In next
year's direct elections to fill the va
cancy to be created by the close of
the term of the Republican Senator,
Sherman.
Mr. Boeschensteln scouted the idea
of a panic as a result of the enact
ment of Democratic tariff. The Dem
ocratic party' in Illinois, he declared,
is stronger than it was last year,
which is indicative of continued Dem
ocratic success throughout the coun
try.
Mr. Boeschensteln was delighted
with Atlanta, and expressed great
surprise at what he termed the re
markable development of highways in
Georgia, as well as elsewhere in the
South.
The only weak point in the convict
system, he says, is lack of co-ordina
tion.
Mr. Boeschenstein was the guest of
t’lark Howell and Governor Slaton
Thursday.
NASHVILLE, TENX., Sept. 13.—
Hilary H. Howse, present Mayor of
this city, will be returned to office in
the first election held under the new
commission form of government by
sji estimated majority of 660 votes
over his two opponents, Cooper and
Meaks, after one of the bitterest and
most sensational mayoralty cam
paigns ever witnessed In Nashville.
Howse was elected on a platform
promising not to disturb the present
wide-open condition
Howse worked with a wonderful
organization and completely snowed
under the law enforcement candidate,
Cooper, who ran second, and who
was Just as far ahead of Circuit
Judge Meeks, who was practically
forced into the race by friends of ex-
Oovemor Malcolm R. Patterson, fol
lowing the latter’s alleged "framed"
arrest a short time ago in a disorder
ly house.
A remarkable boldness was mani
fested by both Meeks and Howse in
bidding for the saloon vote, Criminal
Judge Neil threatening to close every
saloon in the city unless his candi
date. Meeks, was elected. The saloon
element ignored this threat and threw
its support to Howse. who had made
a threat similar to that of Neil.
Both Meeks and Cooper are claim
ing wholesale frauds and declare they
will contest the election.
Women workers were prominent at I
the polls and numerous prayer meet
ings were held throughout the city
during the dav in the interest of
Cooper.
Despite such intense bitterness a.s
has been manifested during the cam
paign, the election was remarkable
for its quietness, only a few minor
difficulties being reported.

New hope for the spooners wa*
found Friday in the attitude of a
group of Gouncilmen who have deter

We could even allow- the pdlicemon
to use it."
