PRETTY ATLANTA ACTRESS
IS NOT IN THE THA W CASE
The striking similarity In name of
the beautiful little actress, who for two
winters made this city her home, living
across from the governor’s mansion,
Peachtree and Cain streets, has led to
the natural mistake of mixing In the
minds of many Atlantans Miriam Nee-
blt and Evelyn Nesblt, wife of Harry
K. Thaw, the perpetrator of the great
est sensation which has stirred aotham
and the whole country for years.
During the winters of 18SS and 1899
Miss Miriam Nesblt, afterwards a
member of the May frwln Company,
and who won by her beauty and mark
ed talent recognition throughout this
country and across the ocean, resided
with her mother In Atlanta. While
In this city she made many friends,
who have with pleasure watched {ter
meteoric career. When the news of
the Madison Square Garden tragedy
reached Atlanta thoae In whose minds
time had dimmed the recollection of
Mlsa Nesblt'a flrst name believed the
wife of the principal actor In the trag
edy and the Atlanta girl the same.
Both of th* Nesblt girls were always
accompanied by their mothers and both
fathers ware lawyers. On this account
many thought the lady In the case woe
the former Atlantan.

70 CHECK ALL BAGGAGE
IN A UNIFORM MANNER
President Charles A. Wlckereham, of
the Atlanta Terminal Company, an
nounced before his departure tor Chi
cago Tuesday evening that upon hie
return, on July 6, he would Immediate
ly proceed to establish a uniform sys

terminal station, In order to do away
with the present unpleasantness which
exists In that branch of the terminal
business. In -order to do that. It Is
ght likely that the company will
it the checking system In vogue
In all large cities In the country, the
same to take effect on July 16.
If the Idea la carried out, each and
every baggage company and Indi
vidual drayman In Atlanta will be
given equal rights In handling baggage
ut the terminal. Each piece of bag
gage which la delivered to the station
will be entitled to a claim check, which
the company delivering the baggage
will.give to the party sending the bag
gage to the station. No piece of bag-
;age will be delivered or checked to
lestlnatton without this claim check,
ami this will be an Iron-clad rule,
which will not be violated under any
consideration.
This aystem Is In vogue In all the
larger cities of the country, and hoe
proven to be the only practical solu
tion of the baggage problem. The cor
rect use of the aystem eliminates all
chances of baggage becoming lost or
stolen, and will be welcomed hy the
attaches of the station, as well as by
the traveling public, who understand
the condition of afralre.
