dow, but Mrs- King was 111 at tho.tlme and Sarah had to
go bock to la belle Franco without-seeing Sister Lucy.
But we put aside all these circumstantial facts. We
are content with the assurance that Sarah began life
by playing "Little Eva.” •
We thought she had escaped, but It seems fated.

: THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
I GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
“Porteus, there la a proverb thou shouldst read:
'When flatterers meat, the Devil goes to dinner.’*
—Peter Pindar.
A Fair, Brave Editor.
Henry M. McIntosh, of The Albany Herald, I* said
to have presided fairly and Impartially over the Albany
dobate. .
Of course he did. Who that knows him would have
expected him to do otberwtsaT
The brave old Scotchman who edits The Albany
Herald la always on one side or the other. He Is a
frank, brare partisan, but he la above all things an bon'
est man and a square one, and If he bad been twice na
eager In hla partisanship of Clark Howell, be would still
have been an eminently fitting man to do Impartial Jus
tice between Clark Howell and Hoke Smith.
There are men built after the pattern of Editor Mc
Intosh. whom the world does not understand. The world
Is made up of so many partisans, rank and violent, that
they find it dlmcult to understand a man who can carry
fairness along with his preferences. The partisans
would have been delighted to have had Henry McIn
tosh follow hla owo predilections and rule In favor of hla
candidate. There are those who will criticise him for
being fair and attribute It to weakness and protest the
Integrity of hts convictions, but men tike Henry McIn
tosh can always laugh to acorn the Idle complaints and
stings of those who are themselves too mad with parti
sanship to recognize the truth or the merits of the other
side.
The time will come when McIntosh and men like
him who demand the right to be fair and Juat In their
discriminations will be vindicated In the judgment and
admiration of their fellow men when qolay and unrea
sonably partisans with their hasty and heated decisions
have passed from the memory of men.
Of course Henry McIntosh la fair. He was not only
fair on the stage, but he was fair In the columns 'of his
paper. He recognized the obligation upon him as an
editor aa fully as he did hla obligation aa a presiding
officer. As a presiding officer. It was hla duty to be
passionless and Judicially fair between both aides who
hnd agreed upon him as the ruling officer of the day,
and he rote to the measure of this expectation.
A* an editor conducting a great organ of public
opinion, pledged)by hla official position to tell the truth
to the people of both side* who patronize It, he did not
hcstltnte to give credit where credit was due, and real
ized that the obligation of the editor, which wae hla chief
vocntlon, transcended the obligation of the partlcan,
which Is hla merely temporary assignment.
We rejoice in the spirit and In the example of a
man like Henry Mclntoah, In him and In hts type alone
la the commonwealth rich In that character and in that
justice which will establish the sound and durable
things of tho futuro.
And The Georgian congratulates Itself upon the fact
that many of the statements made by Henry McIntosh
In hts Albany Herald coincide exactly as to fact and
conclusion with those which were recently written In
the columns of thla paper.
The pacific cltlsens of “little old New York" tried
to lynch a negro In Herald square the other day. This
“southern outrage" business simply refutes to stay at
home.
Bernhardt’s Hawkcye Parentage.
The "seven rival towna" through which good old*
Homer begged hla bread at least, waited until he was
dead and gone before they bogan to put In their claims
foe tho honor of being hla birthplace.
But that was merely Homer.
No such fate la to await the Divine Sarah, who was
so recently In our midst. She has gone back to Paris,
with her—er—wherever the keeps It—full of money, and
sbo la not worrying very much as to her antecedents or
where she was born. Of course ba* been generally un
derstood for a long time that she wap born In Paris In
1844, of Jewish parent*, baptized In the Christian'faith,
educated in a convent and made her debut at the Theater
Francals at the age of 18.
But all that was merely our Imperfect Information.
Mr*. Lucy King, who Uvea, moves and haa aa much
of being aa one can expect out In Minneapolis, contends
that Sarah la her slater and was born In the little town
of Rochester, Iowa. Furthermore, ahe give* It out that
Sarah ran away In order to Join a company playing that
Immortal drama, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," In which she
represented “Little Eva."
There are few actresses on the American stage, at
least among those who confess to forty seasons or more,
who did not begin their stage career by playing “Little
Eva.” In the early days U was part of the tutelage of
the stage to play "Little Eva.” No actress could ever
hope to attain success unless at some period In her ca
reer she had played “Little Eva." It was almost as es
sential as having a past or a full set of diamonds.
Bat we had thought that the Divine Sarah would be
allowed to "just grow" without having to go through the
Little Eva process. We had Indulged the delusion that
ahe possessed so much that was extraordinary that she
would be allowed to come In as an exception.
Bat Bister Lucy, of Minneapolis and Rochester, Iowa,
haa Intervened and In the Interest of the truth of history
haa given it out that Sarah was just like all the reaL
Sbe ran away to play "Little Eva," and then she went
further and married a man named Bernhardt—"so that’s
the way,” Says Mrs. King, conclusively, "that ahe came
to be called Bernhardt”
There are circumstantial stories of how Bernhardt
made a clandestine visit to the little Iowa town of her
birth and brought away some souvenirs from her parents’
graves, when she was over here last and how ah#
drove by Mrs King’* house—Just how the daughter of Mr.
King Is still "Mrs.” King does not appear—and tried to
gut a look at her sitter sitting, like Hannah, at the win-
Mr. Charlton’s Address on Oglethorpe.
T&e members of the general assembly and the people
of Atlanta bare a treat In store for them this evening
when Hon. W. 0- Charlton, of Savannah, will deliver an
addreas In the ball of the house on the subject of James
Edward Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia.
Mr. Charlton Is one of the moat gifted and eloquent
members of the Savannah bar. He Is essentially a schol
nr. He baa taken all knowledge for his province and
ibe exqulslto culture which characterizes him finds
hnppy expression In his polished and persuasive oratory.
In Mb native city ho ranks among the moat charming
arid effective orators, and la called upon on public occa
atom of every kind.
He haa been a tower of strength In supporting the
movement to erect some sullablo memorial to General
Oglethorpe. Under the auspices of the Daughters of the
Revolution a persistent effort has been made to erect
such a monument to the memory of the founder of the
Georgia colony. The sum of $10,000 hfiB already been
raised, but $16,000 more la necessary to carry out tho
dealgn now proposed and this sum the assembly la asked
to appropriate.
The man and the occasion meet when Mr. Charlton
appear* before such an audience na that which'will as
semble thla evening to'discuss tho life and times of Ogle
thorpe. The founder of Georgia was one of the most re
markable men of bis time. The ninety years of hla
llfo were spent amidst scenes which It falla to the lot
of but few men to witneas—all of which he saw and
great part of which he was. In letters he was the Inti
mate associate of Dr. Johnson. In war he was the com'
panlon of Prince Eugene. And when the death of
friend In debtors’ prison first turned hts attention to the
Injustice and abuse of that Infamous system, he devoted
himself to the amelioration of their condition with the
seal and determination which marked everything he did.
From the day when he landed In Georgia, In 1T88, with
a handful of colonists, until he resigned bis position to
return home and straighten out his personal affairs,
which had become Involved largsly through loafts he had
made In behalf of tbs colony, he was the tealous and
devoted friend of Georgia, her guardian and friend In
peace and war.
A* a soldier, a philanthropist and an administrator
he had no superior If Indeed he had an equal among
the colonisers of the thirteen original states.
And yet we are strangely deficient In any suitable
memorial to bis name and fame. Thla prolonged neglect
has become our shame and reproach and It Is high time
that something were done to make amends for this long
oversight.
The devoted women who have the matter In charge
have not spared themselves in raising the fundi collected
thus far, but now the time has arrived when the state,
through the general assembly, should do Its part, and It
la to Impress this fact upon tbe members and upon the
clt liens In general that Mr. Charlton will apeak this eve
ning.
It will be an Intellectual treat to hear him and we
feel sure that he will have the large audience he so eml
nently deserves.
Mr. Rockefeller may decide to reduce hla own sen
tence to transportation.
An Atlanta Magazine.
For reasons both personal and general, Tho Georgian
finds much pleasure In the evidences of substantial
growth and prosperity on the part of The Altruist Msgs
sine.
Tbe Altruist Is a quiet msgsxlne of phllanthropy-and
sociological endeavor established a little over two years
ago, wjth Mr. W. Woods Whits as editor-in-chief and Mr,
J. D. Cleaton as managing editor.
Without pretense and without garish exploitation,
this little periodical has won Its way steadily and (lowly
by tbe merit of Its motives, the consistency of Its meth
ods, and the loftiness of IU principles of life and advo
cacy. At this time The Altruist baa reached a self-sus
taining basis, and the very truthful gentlemen who con
trol It make the statement that It Is growing steadily at
the rats of two hundred subscribers a month.
This Is not a sensational growth, but It Is a steady
evidence of Increasing support and confidence, and of
the steady development of the noble and altruistic sen
timent Which Jho magazine pleads In Us monthly Issues.
There Is no end of Individuality In this periodical
and no man ever- reads It without an uplift to hla
philanthropy, his religion, and hla patriotism.
Because we know that the state and our present
day society cannot fall to be benefited and bettered by
the continued life and Increasing prosperity of this high
toned periodical, The Georgian unhesitatingly wishes It
an erer-lncreailng Hat of subscribers and a life contin
ued beyond the generation In which we live.
The friends and admirer* of the Hon. Richard Rus
aell, of Winder, are preparing to give “plain Dick" on
Saturday next an llluatratllon of the honor which one
prophet haa In hla own country, and so the people of
Winder, which la In the center of three counties, la pre
paring a monster celebration of "plain Dick’s" arrival at
2 o'clock on Saturday next .
A Virginia Guest.
Henry St. qeorge Tucker, president of the James
town Exposition, scholar, orator and Virginia genUeman,
Is a guest of Atlanta today.
He la welcome to the city which has received so rich
an addition to Us civic and social wealth from the great
state which he represents. He Is welcome as the evangel
of a great enterprise which Is designed to revive the
ancient memories of our republic and the modern glo
ries of our slater commonwealth on the Potodmc, and he
should be royally welcomed by the statesmen of Georgia
In their general assembly when he rises to speak to them
of matters and of memories which are of Interest and of
nearness to them both.
MR. SEELV8 RECOVERY.
The recent return of Mr. F. L. Seely alter an absence
and Illness of several weeks, haa caused many expres
sions of genuine rejoicing among hla wide circle of
friends, and especially among the staff and employees
of Mr. Seely's paper. The Atlanta Georgian. The Golden
Age covets the privilege of obeying the sacred Injunc
tion: “Rejoice with them that do rejoice.'’
Frederick L Seely deserves everlasting honor from
bis fellowmen for bptng tbe unselfish projector of a great
dally paper with Ideals high and columns dean—Bowing
like a pure gulf stream through dally Journalism and
blessing wherever it touches-—The Golden Age.

Witnesses said Langley annoyed
them by cursing, and he algo explained
this In a unique way.
”1 don't us* profanity," said Langley,
"only when I am repeating the con-
versatlon of some one else. At times
tell my wlf* what other people say, and
If they use profanity I repeat the words
to my wife."
"Well, It seems that you repeat a
good many conversations,” remarked
the recorder, "and I would advla* you
to quit It. The repeating of profane
conversation* Is bad policy.” *
Neighbors said they didn't want to
be hard on the husband and wife, but
merely wanted them to move. Judge
Broyles accordingly ordered them to
vacate their present house, and dis
missed the cases.
The case* were made by Policeman
Dodd on complaint of the .neighbor*.

PERSISTENT BEGGAR
• ANNOYS OFFICIALS
Considerable annoyance haa been
caused capital officials for the past
few days by the persistent Importuni
ties of a beggar.
This fellow Is not post middle age,
Is strong and fairly well-dressed. He
comes Into the capitol In the evening,
when various officials are busy In their
offices, nnd makes a nuisance of him
self.
He claims to be from a prominent
Virginia family, nnd banes his de
mands for* money solely on the ground
that he ought to-be supported because
of that fact. Usually he Is reeking

ley. MIbm Helen M. Gould has not been
oul.-lde of France since her arrival in
that country n few weeks ago.
The Gould family furnishes another
Intere.-ilng bit of news today. It is
raid, on what steins to be pretty good
authority, that one of the Goulds has
purchased the lease Stern mansion.
No. 818 Fifth avenue. The Stern house
adjoins George Gould's home. It la
thought that the Stern’s horns was
bought to prevent the encroachments
of the business world or to provide
a home for the Countess do Castel-
lane.
Lord . Northellffe (Alfred Harms-
worth) le apparently determined to stir
up all sections of the American peo
ple. While here he declared that
America!) men were far Inferior to
Englishmen as lovers and sweethearts
and he haa signalised his arrival at
Boston by declaring that men are su
perior to women.
“Tell me," he says, "one single in
stance In which woman has proven
hernelf the qunl or superior of man.
I am willing to be convinced. Where Is
the woman pianist who can equal Pad
erewski? Who are our greatest poets?
Men, not women. You know that au
thla talk about the equality of the sexes
Is rubbish. I believe In speaking the
truth. It la silly to nurse delusions.
Women run my papers devoted to
women’s Interests splendidly, but as a
rule I am restricting women's work.
Instead of Increasing It."
AutomoblUtls ta the latest fatal dis
ease. Dr. Charles A. Tinker Is dead,
a victim of exctsslvt automobile rid
ing. The attending physicians dlag-
nosed his case as nephrttla, agrgavated
by frequent riding In a machine that
throbbed nnd started and stopped with
Jerks. Lack of exercise was also given
as a cause. Dr. Tinker was 61 years
old.
Impure milk, It was declared, today Is
responsible for the alarming death rate
among babies In Greater New York.
Startling statistics from the state board
of heaRh show that more than three
times as many children between 12
months and 2 years die dally In Great-'
er New York than In the rest of the
state.
The death rate of children one year
In New York city Is <6.66 per cent of
the total for the state, and for children
1 to 6 yean old, 76.2 per cent. This
excessive death rate cannot be wholly
accounted for by the congestion of the
tenement districts, the lack of air and
sanitary conditions. •
The explanation Is Indicated by the
large number of deaths from disease
due to germ polluted milk, and the
greater mortality from these diseases
aa compared with the rest of the state.
