•hurt time ago, after a very
satisfying Sunday dinner, aeveral gen
tlemen sat discussing, over their cigars,
••thing, in general," whieh always In
clude politic.
It wa* only a fear momenta before a
friendly bout had been framed up over
William J. Bryan's proapecta for an
other prealdentlal nomination, and the
U uatlocation therefir by hla paat record
lefore the American people.
In the group were two ardent advo-
catea of the Nebraakan, one equally
ardent opponent—not of the man, but
of hla convictions—and two neutrala.
Soon, and naturally enough, the talk
turned upon the two greatest grma In
Mr. Brysn'a oratorical crown—hla
speeches at Chicago In 1898 and at Bt.
I.milH In 1*04—and of the famous pe
riod In each of these—the "crown of
thorns r rnd cross of gold” climax at
Chicago and the thrilling prelude of
defense In his great speech at Bt.
I.oula.
The "crown of thorns and cross of
gold" period was familiar enough to
all present, but an attempt to quote
the one which added new laurel* to
the Nebraskan’s fame at Bt. Louis pro
voked a question as tr the accuracy
the rendering.

Virginian, now eoroerted with the

A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 10,400 MILES
BY RAIL IS NOW FEASIBLE
By Private Leaeed Wire.
Rio de Janeiro, Aug. B.—The much-
discussed project of connecting New
York and Buenos Ayres, the capital
etty of the Argentine Republic, by
means of tha Pan-American railway,
Is entirely feasible, according to the
report of Ihe committee appointed at
the Iasi conference In Mexico In 1909.
The distance along the line of the
proposed Panama-Amerlcen railway Is
10,400 miles. According to the report,
there are not more than 1,700 miles
Inter-continental railway not specific
ally provided for. On the point
coat the report lays:
"The committee under whose dlrec
tlon the Inter-continental surveys were
made, and of which A. J. Cassatt was
chairman, approximated the cost at
about 191,000 a mile; but, allowing the
large estimate for railway construc
tion. which Is $50,000 per mile, this
would mean that the expenditure of
1180,000,000 would Insure a completion
of all these sections."

A lively denouement to a little trip
to Ponce Delwon park Tuesday night
was recorded Wednesday morning,
when cases were entered by the
police against Mlsn Alma Hnr.
din, of 10 Bradley street, and Miss Em
ms Brockman, residing In Essard
street, two pretty ll-year-old girls,
complaint having been made against
Ihem by Mr*. William Shepard, of 14
Bradlty street. ,
The cases grew out of Ihe fact that
Shepard, husband of Mrs. Shepard, la
accused of accompanying the girl* to
Ponce Del-eon, In company with ht*
single brother, Henry Shepard, who I*
visiting him from Boutn Carolina.
'hen the young wlf# learned that her
. -eba id was In ths company of the
t.o girls, complication* sros* tnd ds-
veloped some lively Incidents.
Th# matter came to a climax Wed-
nesday morning when the girl* are
eald to have visited the Bhenard home
and abused Mrs. Bhepard, after which
sh* had rases entered against them.
According to Information furnlshrd
the police, Mrs. Shepard made ar
rangements for her brother-in-law,
Henry Shepard, lo lake Miss Hardin to
Ponce DeLeon, Tuesday night. After
the young couple left, they were joined
by Miss Brockman. William Shepard
Is also said to hnve later boarded the
same c«i.
It seems that some one Informed
Mrs. Shepard of this fact, which ap
pears to have displeased her very
much. Mrs. Shepahl is said to have
then visited the home of Mrs. Hardin,
which la only a Short distance away,
and mad* complaint In regard to the
a uartel. This resulted In Mr*. Hardin's
Ispatclilng her son to Ponce DeLeon
ana he la said to have brought the girls
back home, Mr*. Hardin Informing her
daughter of th* complaint of Mrs.
Hh*|*ard.
This Incident rinsed th* little drama
for Tuesday night. It opened afresh
Wednesday morning, however, when
Miss Hardin and Miss Brockman are
said to have got together and visited
the home of Mr*. Shepard. They are
accused of upbraiding her for her con
duct, at which Mrs. Shepard notified
th* police station. Call Officer*
Chandler and Lurk responded and
served both girls with copies of charges
citing them to appear In police court
Thursday morning.

GRANDlHEATER
LOOKS LIKE NEW
At an expense of 54,000 the Interior
of the Orand opera house has been ren
ovated.
For the first time since Atlanta's
largest theater was built fifteen years
ago the frescoing hire been retouched,
the ceilings and walls repainted and
the hangings and upholstering of the
boxes renewed.
'A Messenger From Man” will open
the house on August 19, and th* large
audience which will, doubtless gather
to aee the premier performance of the
season will be nothing lesg than dai
sied at the effects brought about by
the complete u?rps of skilled laborers
which have been working on the deco
rations for the past thre* weeks.
From pit to the gallery gods' pinna
cle th* house has been overhauled. New
carpets of deep red have been laid, the
Interiors of the boxes are a delicate
shade of green, the hanging* a deeper
shade of the same color and the up
holstery old gold. The general color
scheme Is both restful to the eye and
charming In appearance.
Instead of th* old drop, one with
scene taken from the Alps haa been
hung, and the asbestos curtain presents
a new aspect with a Venetian scene
adorning It. -
Bert J5. Crinv haa touched up all
the stag* pieces and property room
pharaphernatla, which will do much to
add to th* effjet* during the season.
Mr. Criss slated Wednesday that th#
points brought out In the Oldknow

complied with.

Stringent regulations for theaters,
which do not come under the Oldknow
theater ordinance now a law, will be
embodied In another ordinance to come
up before council within the next thirty
days.
Councilman William Oldknow will
al*o be the author of the new ordi
nance. It will be so drawn aa to affect
the theaters now standing and will call
for radical changes In the exits, seat
ing arrangement and other Interior as
well as exterior arrangements of some
of the theaters, notably the Bijou.
It will be remembered that the first
ordinance drawn up by Councilman
Oldknow regulated the theaters now
standing as well as those In contem-
K latlon. This ordinance, however, wa*
aeked to pieces by the committee un
til there was nothing left of the portion
which will be touched upon by the new
ordinance.
Councilman Oldknow stated Wednes
day that he was certain of the success
of the new ordinance.
“Many of those who Were hostile
to a portion of the old ordinance have
been converted and will support like
regulations now,” said Councilman Old
know. "When the ordinance comes up
I hope to get a committee together to
thoroughly Investigate the need of such
an ordinance. There la no doubt that
tHe members will be willing supporters
after carefully studying the existing
conditions.”

WHITE MAN SAVED
BY OFFICER COOK
Furniture Dealer Chased,
Rocked and Beaten by
Blacks in Fort Street.
After having been attacked and
roughly handled by negroes late Tues
day afternoonr John Garner, manager
of a local Instalment furniture house,
was rescued by Policeman Dan Cook
from a < mwd >>t fully 600 blacks at
Gilmer dnd Fort streets.
The affair created a scene of intense
excitement, and It looked for a time aa
though a riot would result.
At the time of his rescue. Garner wa*
being severely beaten by a negro wo
man. while th^ great crowd of negroes
made in< 4'ndiary remarks anil offered
no assistance to the white map.
One arrest was made. Minerva Duf
fy, who Is said to have been the woman
beating Garner, was locked up In the
police station on the charge of dis
orderly conduct.
Garner had gone to the home of a
negro woman In Bell street to collect
"n a picture purchased from Ills tlrin,
his collector having already failed to
get tho money. Instead of paying Gar
ner, the woman cursed him. Garner
then took the picture and started from
the house. As he did so. the woman
and several children ran after him. It
was then but the apace of a few sec
onds until a big crowd of negroes was
chasing Garner and rocking him.
Hard pressed by the pursuing ne
groes and fearing the picture would be
taken from him. Garner threw It to
the ground and stamped It to pieces
rather than allow It to fall Into the
hands of the blacks.
• At Gilmer and Fort streets, a block
away, Garner was attacked by a wo
man, said to be M<;;»rra Duffy, and
was struck several blows. About this
time. Officer Cook, who had learned of
the trouble, rushed to the scene and
rescued the lone white man. The ne
groes were then dispersed.
The Duffy w’onian will be tried Wed
nesday afternoon in police court.
