Here, in five illuminating scenes, is a performance in which the Secretary of State for the United States is the leading figure. Observe the crowds at the tent door buying ice cream cones and pink lemonade. Once inside, the show begins with the Tyrolean
yodelers, followed by the gypsy violinist. At last the famous Commoner appears (for $250 a performance, plus a percentage). The last scene shows him adding to his meager $12,000 income.

Mayor’s Reply Calm.
Mayor W Midward was ver\ calm In
his reply to the Rev. McConnell’s sec
ond onslaught.
I’m going to treat my office of
M iynr <»f Atlanta with more dignity
•nd respect than ex-Detective Line
McConnell treats the Christian re
ligion and the Tabernacle Church,”
hr said.
I'h« ex detective is out f<»r what
hr tan get for himself, anti his means
Just now is sensational publicity, the
imr he lamented so in his sermon
Sunday night.
“When he didn't progress suffi
cient'. as a detective hr became a
tn* and lowly Presbyterian. The
L -yterians didn’t take to his style
: . h so he changed to a Methodist.
In that denomination he was rather
suet essful for a time, finally becoming
pastor of the Wesley Memorial
Church.
”r<l like to know Just why he quit
there The next I heart! of him hr
was traveling over the country as a
Baptist looking for another Job
"He got a call to the Baptist Tab
ernacle at a good salary, but I'll bet
if hr saw a better opportunity with
the Mormons he would go to Utah
and try to fill Brigham Young's
shoes '*
Mayor Woodward in his first
attack branded Dr. McConnell as
a "contemptible coward” and a
notoriety-seeking “sensationalist” in
bis letter made public on Tues
day The communication was ‘n re
ply to the minister s arraignment of
the Mayor Sunday for his attitude cn .
the "spooning” question.
I’he Mayor warned <» distin
guished preacher that his cloth nor
the pulpit would shield him In the fu
ture from personal responsibility for
his utterances He added that he ha !
stood all the blackguardism he pro
posed tn, and hoped that the warning
would be sufficient.

Girl’s Mother Scores
McConnell and Police.
A denunciation of the police, who
arrested her daughter because she
was found sitting on the steps of the
Capitol with her sweetheart, and of
the Rev Lincoln McConnell, who his
taken up the cudgel in behalf of his
old comrades, has been issued by Mrs.
Nathan W Weistman. of No. 290 East
Fair street, the mother of Miss Dora
Weistman. arrested by Policemen
Clack and Welchel, of the ’vice

Broyles’ court.
Mrs Weistman charges that Dr.
McConnell, when he said in the pulpit
Sunday night that her daughter hil
been caught in a compromising po
sition. arrested and glxen a heavy
fine, had deliberately misrepresented
the facts
She characterized the minister’s
misstatement as outrageous, and de
clared that as a result of Mr. Mc-
Connell's statements and of the work
of the police her daughter has been
'done an irreparable wrong
.Says Lies Are Circulated.
“My daughter’s character has be»>n
so attacked that she is almost
ashamed to go upon the streets.” M’s.
Weistman said. "Irreparable damag?

Plenty More in Store. Says Fore
caster vonHerrmann—Scoffs
at Equinoctial Storms.
Atlantans awoke Tuesday morning
to find the dty still in the grip of
the first cold spell of the fail, the
thermometer standing at 56. The mer-
I cury rose slowly all morning, and
I Government Forecaster vonHerrmann
predicted that warm weather will be
here again Wednesday
’l’he cold weather Is due to high
proHsure over the North Atlantic
<»< ean, causing the northeast winds
to bring cool moist air from the sea.
According to Mr vonHerrmann,
there Is plenty of warm weather in
■tore for Atlanta Cool spelli like
the present one are not unusual for
this time of year The lowest tem
perature for September 16 shown on
the official records, which cover the
past 47 years, was 50 degrees in 1892.
The records also show a temperature
of above 90 degrees for every day
during September, but that figure is
not expected to be reached during
1913
"This cold spell should not be called
an equinoctial storm,” said Mr von-
Herrmann. “The theory of equinoc
tial storms was exploded long ago.
and the custom of calling every rain
storm around September 22 and equi
noctial storm is ar great n fallacy as
saying that the monn governs the
weather, or waiting till the dark nt
the moon to plant certain crops. The
records show only one especially se
vere storm during the past 47 years
on or around September 22.”
All Rain Records

MOBILE. Sept. 16.--A total of
12.60 Inches of rain has fallen in th r » °
days In this city, breaking all record.-*

bureau. The heavv rains* of early to
day did more damage to streets, roa ’s
and crops. It is estimated the total
damage will reach $20,000.

TDD ILL FO GO
FD TRIAL NOW
Case Against Alleged Forger Is
Postponed as He Is Forced to
Bed by Physician.
With three separate charges of
forgery', involving $2,200, pending
against him in the justice courts of
Atlanta, J. Wylie Smith, soldier of
fortune, Tuesday was too ill to stand
trial, a victim of the worst form of
tuberculosis. Hts critical condition
Monday caused a postponement of the
preliminary' hearing until September
24.
Dr. C. M. Curtis, Smith’s physician,
declared Tuesday that his patient was
in a dangerous condition.
Despite his precarious condition,
however. Smith, who has braved all
sorts of dangers in Mexico w’ffile a
fugitive from Georgia, retains his old
courage. He is brave in the face of
death, and Monday steeled himself for
the ordeal which may send him to the
penitentiary. The relapse came first,
however, much to his disappointment,
and, upon the orders of his physician,
he remained at his temporary' home at
No. 190 South Forsyth street. Jus
tice Girardeau honored t’ne request of
Dr. Curtis and postponed the hearing.
Smith, according to Dr. Curtis, con
tracted tuberculosis about six months
ago. following a severe case of pneu
monia which was brought on by ex
posure in Mexican jails and elsew here.
Thus far his marvelous will power
and determination to live, regardless
of obstacles, have actually prolonged
his life He still is hopeful, and has
taken his bed only upon the strict
orders of his physician. He expressed
the ho[*e Tuesday of being able to
stand trial on September 24.

I Initiation of Oyster
Season at Piedmont
Old King Cole was a merry' old
soul, yet the legend says he became
blase. But the opening of the oyster
season at the Piedmont Hotel Mon
day night was of the kind that would
have caused the old fellow to bestir
himself.
While the formal after-theater
opening did not take place until 10
> o’clock, the excitement really began
at 6 o’clock, when the dining room
was opened for dinner An orchestra
of five women furnished a mixture of
the latest rags and melodious clas
sics. At 10 o'clock a shrill blast on i
cornet announced that the after-the
ater season was on. The 125 tables
. In the main dining room filled ra. -
r idly.
; Assistant Manager Frank Taylor
f was in charge of the opening and r«*
j ceived congratulations on his work.
