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.

Illinois Democratic Leader, in At-) lanta on Visit, Gratified by Tariff Reform. Mayor Lends Support to Friends of Romance—City Spooning Reservation Urged. 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.
