YEOMANS HAS ISSUED
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. L. CURTIS FOR ALDERMAN;
A BUSINESS MAN'S RACE
Councilman A. L. Curtis seems to
hove scored a signal victory In his
race for alderman from the First ward.
The Indications on all sides point to
this solution of’the question.
Dr. Curtis has been particularly for
tunate In drawing to his support a large
majority of the buslntss men of the
city, and It Is due largely to his own
success as a business man that he
will get this support. The business
man wants a successful business man
to handle Important city matters. From
a business tandpolnt he has every
claim to preference.
At the Casino.
Stuart Barnes, who has several
bright and Instructive songs and the
best monologue heard here In many
days, relieved the menotony In tl e pro.
gram at the Ponce DeLeon Casino
.Monday night. Holcomb, Curtis and
Company, In "The New Teacher," fur
nished uproarious amusement to ltfvers
ft the "old deestrlck schule" and such
forms of entertainment. But the ot
tering, as a whole, was dull and unin
spiring.
But Stuart Barnes Is worth hear
ing. • He doesn't try to sing very
much, but his songs are really clever.
Up closes with a monologue which Is
witty, clean and modern, a distinct
relief from the usual moth-eaten half
hour of hot air furnished the public
under that name.
Adams and Drew pull oft an, alleged
(Inman dialect stunt which Is «uppos-
rd to deal with automobiles though the
German member talks as If his car.
bureter Isn't carbureter and only oc
caslonal words of real language ever
reach the audience.
Bessie Phillips sings three songs.
Marvelous Merrill, who does bicycle
stunts, Is Interesting principally for his
capacity for falling down when he
tries hardest to stay up, He pleased
the audience by risking his neck In
turning a somersault on a bicycle af
ter half an hour's work rigging up
complicated apparatus.
The cameragraph shows "The Moon
shiner," an Interesting set of scenes
which close with everybody dead. The
first night audience was a big one an
the theater was cool and comfortable
in spile of the temperature up ‘.own.

ELECTRICAL BOMB
SHAKES CINCINATI
By Prlrsto Leased Wire.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 21,—The peo
ple of Cincinnati were startled yester
day by a most unusual freak of nature.
Out of the Intense glare of the noon
day sun, that almost made the streets
stxzlo with the heat, came a blinding
bolt of lightning, followed by a, terrific
crash that caused everyone to stop
and see what had happened. The bolt
was followed by a few drops of rain
that descended from a cloudless sky.
The bolt fell Into the very heart of
the city, and several windows in the
government building on Fountain
Square were cracked by the concussion.
One explanation of the phenomena ad
vanced was that It was the explosion
of an electrical bomb compounded by
nature.

MEN, IN LETTERS, TELL THA W
HE OUGHT TO DIE IN CHAIR
By Private Leaned Wire.
New York, Aug. 21.—On the wall of
his cell In the Tombs, Harry K. Thaw,
has a small calendar whereon he cross
es off, with heavy marks, each day that
Is spent.
He is, It is said, counting the hours,
each of which as it passes brings him
nearer to that fateful day when he Is to
be placed on trial charged* with the
murder of Stanford White, whom Jie
shot down during a performance at the
Madison Square Roof Garden.
Frugal fare and the quiet life In pris
on have had a beneficial effect upon
Thaw, and today he is a much more
hale and robust man than he was on
the day of the tragedy.
His life at the Tombs Is by no means
an Isolated one. Ht Is visited now and
then by his mother, occasionally also
by his sister, Mrs. George Carnegie, and
now and then at rare Intervals by his
brother, Joslah.
And, dally, rain or shine, there comes
to cheer him, his beautiful wife, Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, she for love of
whom he committed the deed which has
brought him face to face with the elec
tric chair.
Each day, too, she brings him In a
basket some dainties which she knows
he likes, fowl or fruit or pastry. Hours
before his wife arrives in the morning,
Thaw reads the papers, or letters—
sometimes as many as 50—which are
sent to him from perfect strangers.
These letters often try his patience
not a little, some being from persona
who have constituted themselves Judge
Jury and executioner and inform him
that If they had their way he would
go to the electric chair without as
much as a trial. Other letters are con
soling. These are mainly from young
>yomen, while the other sort are from
men. Still others contain advice "sure
to bring freedom.” All letter? are turn
ed over by Thaw to his counsel, Clif
ford W. Hartrldge.
What with calisthenics in his cell nnd
such other exercise as he gets by walk
Ing In the prison yard. Dr. Frank Mc
Guire has snld that there Is scant dan
ger that Thaw will need any medicine
or even tonics. He has grown to be
one of the moat robust of all the pris
oners.

There was a camp meeting down at

sermons, good singing and Its basket

Sunday, but W. D. Wallace, a farmer,
who lives ncBr Chamblee, went hun
gry.
Mr. Wallace brought two ladles of
his family to the meeting and tile three
found a seat well up toward the amen
comer. The buggy was hitched under
a tree around a curve In the road and
out of sight.
Mr. Wallace helped sing a hymn or
;o and (hen settled down on the hard
bench to listen to a regular old-fash
ioned camp meeting sermon and brush
away gnats and horseflies. His ears
caught the words of the preacher, but
his mind dwelt on something else. He
was thinking of what was tucked away
beneath a white linen cloth In a big
basket under the buggy seat.
"Yellow-legged chicken and a dish of
gravy, white rolls and corn muffins,
sweet pickles, hnrd-bolled eggs and
pie I Lemon pie, custard pie, pumpkin

Everybody admits the
race for Treasurer is be
tween Culberson and Wood
ward. Who do you want to
win?
Dameon, three Atlanta youngsters, not
old enough to vole.
Walking around Is hungry work. The
sun had climbed high when one of the
boys remarked that It was pretty near
dinner time.
"Wonder If any of these folks will
ask us to eat?” said another.
Just then the three passed the Wal
lace buggy. Young Flanigan stopped
nnd sniffed the atmosphere.
"I smell fried chicken," he said.
“There's a country ham In that bas
ket If my nose tells the truth,” said the
elder Dnineon.
From (he meeting drifted the strains
of the long meter doxology. What was
to be done must be done quickly. The
boys hesitated no longer, but disap
peared with the basket nnd sought a
shady corner beyond the hill.
When Mr. Wallace and his party ar
ced and found the buggy empty there
were some hungry faces. . The camp
meeting trustees were Informed.
"They got nil that linen and silver
ware and the basket, too,” said Mr.
Wallace.
'Did you say there was chicken In
thnt dinner?" asked the trustees. "We
must find the robbers."
The daylight robbery had been
watched by a young lady who gave a
description of the outlaw band.
"One of them wore new tan shoes,
with real wide strings In them, and a
white straw hat,” she exclslmed.
Satisfaction the Clew.
County Pnllcomen Maddox and Dun
bar were given this clew. Mr. Dunbnr
looked up the big road and saw three
young men appronchlng. They wore
the satisfied expression that comes
with the consciousness of a good din
ner well disposed of. And the youth In
Ihe middle wore new ton shoes, with
real wide strings In them, nnd a white
straw hat.
Sunday night Clarence Flanigan slept
In the Towjer. Whether the memory
of his crime sat as heavily upon his
conscience as the various kinds of pie
anil cake lay upon a harder worked
portion of hi* anatomy he did not nay
Monday morning. The Dameon boys
were released on bond, hut all three are
charged with larceny and will appear
before the criminal court at Its next
term.
