DeAr mond took her to Memphis, and it was not long before she returned to Atlanta and sued him for divorce. The decree was granted the first of this month.

Anna Pavlowa, the incomparable Russian dancer, has had, in one little after noon. one of her most dazzling tri umphs and two of the most distress ing experiences of her life. M. Emi’ Dandre, stage manager for the danseuse and chief figure in that romantic mystery of her recall to Russia during the investigation of vanished railroad funds, had a diffi culty with a deputy sheriff on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House that threatened to disrupt the performance. Under nervous strain from this al tercation, involving the man who was once said to have spent vast appro priations to gratify her whims, Mme. Pavlowa attended a "Russian the Dansant” in the foyer after the Metropolitan matinee and was ac tually hissed by a New York society audience after she had declined to dance again. M. Dandre was directing the per formance when the deputy forced his way upon the stage and thrust pa pers in his hands. He became furious, according to witnesses, and the ex citement attracted the attention of the danseuse, who was then execut ing one of her most wonderful dances. The matter was adjusted when M. Dandre paid $250 cash bond to ap pear in an action w hich had .been brought against him. The performance went on. The Metropolitan was packed to the roof. The audience was thrilled to enthusi asm by the dances. People who had not intended to wait' for the Dansant lingered in the foyer, discussing eagerly the work of the artist. Hundreds of others came in. There was a dollar extra charge to attend The Dansant. They waited until about 6 o’clock. Then Mme. Pavlowa ap peared. She was not in dancing cos tume, but in a splendid court dress and was accompanied by many of the company. Finally one of the managers ex plained to Pavlowa that all the eager people were waiting to see her dance. Pavlowa, who had been sitting quietly and demurely, a sweet smile on her face and seemingly taking an intelligent interest in being bored, at once changed. Her eyes blazing fiercely at her interrogator, she rose and said haughtily: “I dance on the stage of the Metro politan Opera House? I have danced for charity all afternoon, and now they expect me to dance here. Mon Dieu! do they think I am a cabaret dancer?’’ and with these parting re marks she left, followed by her suite. The crowd of men, women and girls began to hiss and continued until she had disappeared from sight. Once Pavlowa turned bfcick, and if looks could have injured, some would have suffered. She threw a look of disgust at the disappointed crowd, some of which began to demand restitution of U.

It is earnestly to be hoped that the day will pass off in a quiet and orderly manner, void of any boisterous or unseemly conduct. The law does not allow the burning of any kind of fireworks within the incorporate limits of the cky of Atlanta, without pe-- mission in writing from the Max - or. Tho law does not permit the discharge of firearms within the city limits at any time. It is therefore ordered that the use of firearms and large firecrackers that produce heavy explosion be prohibited entirely. Small fire crackers and such fireworks as are used around residences will be permitted for the benefit of the children. The police department will see that this order is strict ly enforced. Under the provisions of section 1651 of the City Code all near- beer saloons or places in which near-beer is Mcensed to be sold shall be closed on every Christ mas Day, and the doors thereof shall not be opened for any pur pose, nor shall any person pass in or out of same on that day. While the law is silent as regards lock er clubs closing on Christmas Day, yet I officially request every locker club in the city to close on that day in order that the dav may be thoroughly and properly observed. Respectfully, J. G. WOODWARD. Mayor. j
