It is to be hoped that Atlanta will not at any time per- mlt Ita enthusiasm to lag or Its patronage to wane In the natter or the Atlanta Lecture Association. The past record of this admirable series of enter tainments ll abundant to vindicate its claim to our heart!- est future support. There- Is not in the realm of entertain ment so much of pleasure and of real profit to be derived from the expenditure of so small a sum of money as that which an annual membership In the Atlanta Lecture Asso- ciaUon provides. The Atlanta Lyceum has brought to our people in Ume past many of the most eminent, eloquent and distin guished men and women of the United States. Orators, thlnken, readers and entertainers of national and inter- naUonal reputation are put upon our opera house plat forms at stated Intervals at a cost which is scarcely more than the price of a ticket to one of our ordinary time- killing and mind-dissipating comic operas of the day. ft Is a measure of Atlanta's intellectual appreciation that sne should faithfully sustain a lyce.um association which for five years past has ranked nt the head of the American list. The editor of The Georgian has heard men like Wendllng. Mills an' Ounsaulus declare that the At lanta audiences of five years ago were In numbers, intelli gence, . nd enthusiasm the finest of America, and we have been proud to believe that the culture and appreciation of our people was being heralded widely and happily by the nature and numbers of its splendid lyceum nudltory. The Atlenta Lyceum list for the present season Is up to the high standard of those that have gone before. The list opens on November 1 with Dr. Leonard Levy, of Pitts burg. rabbi of one of the richest congregations of Hebrews in the world, and himself one of the most Interesting speakers of his race. It Includes such eminent attractions as Maud Balllngton-Booth, whose audiences always leave delighted with the grace and eloquence of this charming and "noble woman. Frank Dixon, who has frfeqiiently pleased our people, and who is one of the growing men of the American platform. The wonderful magician. Dr. Edward Burton McDowell, tells of the land of I-ouls Stevenson In "8amoa." The picture play of Lorna Doone by Albert Armstrong comes, and that prince of the plat form, George R. Wendllng, has also a strong place on the program. These attractions coming In. turn, with many others probably to Include some of the great political figures now moving on the horlxon, make up a program worthy of Atlanta and of the past record of Its great lyceum. We commend this admirable Institution to the cordial support and practical patronage of the people. Let the Auditorium Remember Art. James B. Townsend, editor of The American Art News, and for many years a well known figure In the art circlet of New York and London. In a recent letter to the editor of The Georgian, asks a question which is not without bearing upon the Armory-Auditorium project now meeting with such enthusiastic encouragement from the Atlanta public. "Is It posalble,” writes Mr. Townsend, who will man age the second annual art exhibit to be held In Atlanta under the auaplces of the Atlantn Art Association, “that the city of Atlanta has no gallery worthy to house n representative collection of American paintings? Or no hall which you use for exhibit, concert-and lecture pur poses?” These are embarrassing questions, to bo sure, but the time Is ripe for considering them, and, certainly ripe for answering them In the affirmative. The fact alone that AUanta Is to have annually a great exhibition of paintings, and at intervals throughout the year smaller •xhlbitlons of pottery, craft work and other branches of art, creates a distinct need for an exhibit hall. Such a hail would soon become as necessary to the artistic and esthetic life of our city as is the picture gallery to the artistic and esthetic life of New York, Boston, Buf falo, Cincinnati, St. Louis or any other great municipality which recognlxes the vital relation of art to civic devel opment. When the great armory-auditorium Is planned, there fore, let us include a smaller gallery whoso main pur pose shall he the housing of the art exhltdtlons which are henceforth to be brought to Atlanta from New York and from European cities. To those who question the practicality of such a suggestion. It Bhonid be sufficient to remember that thlB gallery would tie In* constant de mand for concerts, lectures and all occasions to which a vast auditorium is wholly unsuited. At comparatively little extra cost, It may now be Included in the plans, while to neglect it would lie to overlook n requirement which within a few years’ time will have become a ne cessity. For In view of the earnest and intelligent efforts of the men and women who comprise the Atlanta Art As sociation, It Is inevitable that our city shall awaken, as other great American cities have'done, to the necessity of civic advancement, and to the value of nrt interests as factors in tho best development of our civic and national life. We shall learn, as other people in other sections are learning, that to commercialize the whole of life Is to lay the ax at the very roots of our civilization; but that to preserve the true balance between utility and beauty, cause, is to make possible a civilization which shall one day surpass in excellence and stability “The Glory that was Greece. And the grandeur that was Rome.” . Saturday Evening and Atlanta. It is a trite saying and credited to the Atlanta Spirit, that Atlanta Is the “best city of its size In the world.” Let us see If there ts not beneath the proud asser tion something more substantial than a civic boast, and something more authoritative than the pride and hope of a loyal citizenry. Say first that In all the fluctuations of these two eventful decades, in which trade has turned somersaults and cities have alternatively waxed and waifed, that At lanta hat never known a panic, recognized a depression, or called one moment's halt in her stately stride of steady progress and development. Is there another city in the land that caq say as much? Say, again, that since Sherman's soldiers left At lanta In the lurid glare of its burning homes, “marching through Georgia" to the sea, that Atlanta has never been so prosperous, so solid, so established In credit, so rich in receipts, so prosperous in manufactures, so bulging with buyers, so crowded with shoppers, so thick with investors, and so universally and uncxceptionally comfort able and well-to-do as she Is today. And say, that even In the very pomp and fulness of prosperity, the city strenuous, not resting nor halting, is going forward now, today and every day with a buzz of saws, a clanging of hammers and a pounding of masonry In the most extensive and comprehensive building period of Its long and eventful history. Why has Atlanta never known a panic, when her neighbors have b.en in gloom? Because Atlanta's pros perity rests upon an industrial life so varied and com prehensive that only a universal depression could becloud its trade. Did you know, young fellow Just come to town, that Atlanta has two hundred and fifty-seven different Industries In successful operation? Did you know that this number does not Include the variations of a single Industry, but counts, for Instance, under tbe general head of furniture making tbe accre or more of factories which concentrate their work upon some separate piece of furniture? Did you know that no other city of your near or remote acquaintance and of approximate size has so many Industrial Irons in the fire? And did you know that this wonderful variety of industrial activity Is the sound foundation for Atlanta's unbroken progress and unvarying prosperity? Why, If the iron product sinks for a season to depression, Bir mingham Is in the dumps and long faces line her streets. If the cotton market slumps continually, New Orleans and Memphis are in gloom. If the furniture trade is off, Grand Rapids sobB hard times, and so along the long list of cities founded op fewer factories. But Atlanta, when the iron market slumps, goes whirling her products from two hundred other mills to satisfy the world. When cotton wanes her versatile wheels go turning her resources from other lines to bridge tbe season without loss, and whatever ahadow fails upon any section of commercial life, she is ready and prepared trt see and to shed the sunshine that has been Btored by her genius and energy into tho other side. AUanta has no panics and no depressions, because her energies and resources hnve been diffused through so many various lines of productive work that the wise law of compensation keeps the balance of her trade in poise. And she Is safe beyond her sisters for tho future, for her prosperity, so wisely and discreetly founded. Is butlded to endure. Upon this deep theory of diversified Industry we are Bet to continued prosperity and growth. It is In dividual as well as general. A man in West End has six sons. They are growing capably In six separate lines of business. Nothlug can bring that family to want If It will stand together. If the son In cotton falls on evil times, tho sons In iron, coal and patent medicines are there to bridge the time. If five of them find business to languish In their lines, the sixth must surely bo doing something that can hold his crew together. And as with the family so with tho city In its many phases of undustriai life. And Atlanta Is growing now tike Jonah's gourd. We who do not believe Oils simply do not go around. 'Get out of the shell In which you work a moment and look around. Down at the end of the stirring street on which we work there Is rising a stately structure. Look at It. It ts five stories high, and it stretches the magnificent length of two city blocks. Us floor space Is Immense. It is built of concrete masonry to last a thousand years. It Is the freight terminal of a single railroad, and it marks the faith of the Louisville and Nashville In tbe present power and certain growth of Atlanta. It is spanned by a long viaduct of atone—the greatest that Atlanta owns— and It Is going to revolutionise the appearance, growth and business status of a populous portion of tbe city. The Bell Telephone Company, which, ten years ago, was housed In one room In the Healy building, bought a costly lot and set out, ten years ago, to build a stately structure that Its friends thought all too large for Its needs. The company had outgrown the building be fore it entered it, and was clamoring for space. The nerth exchange was added, and then the east, and the west, and today the Bell people are building a structure nearly twice as large as the first, and twice as well equipped, and wondering where they shall find more space. . Ten years ago Jim Nunnally was fearing that he had far outbuilt his needs in the little candy factory set on Ivy street. He has quadrupled It since then, and on yesterday paid $22,000 for adjoining space to double his present factory And Nunnally's la the story of every man who has staked his Intelligent faith In Industrial Atlanta. Every cue of them has far outgrown tbe early stake, and the cry and problem of the hour is more space In which to but the effort of his body to make room for his crowding wares. Look at the Pratts, who are So. quiet that you never hear them, but who are covering acres with fac tories and mills and laboratories in the suburbs of Atlanta. Look at Jacob Elsas selling money bags to every city in the world. Look at the Adairs planting every dol lar as they make it In Atlanta dirt. Go anywhere, where there is space, and see if it Is not filling or being sought to flit. And, mark you, this great city Is built and being built by Southern men. With wide welcome to those who come to us across the border, with wide acknowl edgment to those from colder climates who have done their part, the fact stands clear and Inspiring that in the great aggregate the stately structure of this twentieth century city Is Southern built, home-made and homo geneous. , • This strain Is not exhausted. It might run along Its current of inspiring facts indefinitely. Atlanta’s credit Is superb. Its merchants are as much. If not better, trusted than any business men In the South. It has a bank which, wt^le 160 banks may outrank it In deposits, Is yet rated about tenth or twelfth among the substan tial Institutions of the country. Ita railroads have In vested $8,000,000 in Atlanta real estate within the decade Its factories include every necessity from the cradle to the grave. It manufactures the forceps which expedite our first protesting struggle In the world. It manufactures tho coffins which bury our bodies at Oakland or West- view. It quarries the stone which tells our virtues to succeeding years', and It manufactures every necessity that we require between the forceps and the monument. There fa no mortal man in all Atlanta who is Industrious and worthy who has an excuse for suffering today. There are fewer paupers In Atlanta than In any city of Its numbers In the world. There Is more and swifter charity for human suffering than In any other town, and there is not among all the municipalities of modern progress one whose air is softer and purer, fuller of ozone and fuller of inspiration than this city of Atlanta. Let us stop here—not for material, but for breath. The moral Is In cheer. Let us rejoice In our goodly city. Let us believe lu It. Let us never deprecate, but always magnify Its. advantages. Let us have faith that will speak in service, In affection, and In Investment. And let us thank God on this Saturday evening that it Is our happy lot to live, to labor and to love in the best, the healthiest, the happiest and the most wholesome city In the world. HEARST AS I KNEW HIM Personal Side of tho Man Who Is Now the Central Figure in Politics. His Genuine Concern for the Under Dog—Many Instances Cited by One Who Has Had Peculiarly Good Opportunities of Study ing tho Men in His relations to His Fellowman. CHARLES E. RUSSELL in Ridgway's for October 27. I the practical and the esthetic, and to let the ideal be* buna the real as gradually, as logically, as effect follows j grow. Look at Sam O. Jones, whose ample avoirdupois is ways in which men had tried to change these conditions, the futility of even the best meant philanthropy, and the essential failure of most of the schemes of beneficences. My faith was in the coming of another Wendell Phillips, who, keeping aloof from parties arul politics, should achieve reform by per sistent agitation. Mr. Hearst was all for action, for doing something by practical means, for controlling exist ing machinery to secure present re sults. We talked often of the men In the United States that seemed able, or likely, to do these things, and it never occurred to either of us that he would try* to put his ideas into practice by becoming a candidate for office. From these talks that recurred through many days and weeks, I could see clearly enough the origin of some of his peculiarities. I could under-? stand, for instance, a thing I had often noticed in New York—that he would stop In the street to watch a limping horse or make an unreasonable ado about a hurt vagrant dog. I could un derstand. better, that night in San Francisco, when there was a storm and some fishermen were wrecked on a rock outside, and he was the only man that would undertake to get them off. I could see what moved him one day in Naples when he threshed a cab man for beating a horse, and that other time when the sight of maltreated ani mals In a foreign city drove him to hunt up an obscure humane society and give it what was probably the largest subscription in Us history. As to that cabman, by the way, we. were driving In an open carriage, and Mr. Hearst had twfee told the driver to stop strik ing the horse. The driver paid no at tention, so Mr. Hearst made one sudden leap from the seat, got the cabman by the back of the neck, and landed In the street upon him. And I recalled how. in New York, he used to insist on going home from the office by the way of the Bowery and would observe and comment upon the human wrecks that drifted there, or In the ••breadline” at Flelshmann’s, and these were manifestations of the same interest 1n whoever or whatever In the world for any cause fared ill or suf fered wrong. But all these things are familiar enough to the men who hnve worked with Mr. Hearst, so that they will rath er wonder why I set them down. They will recall the many occasions in many winters when we had to turn the start Into charity organisation societies®to go about the tenement houses with wagon loads of food and supplies; the tug that he hired to pull a*stranded schooner off Fire Island bench In the heart of a howling blizzard: the count less Instances and ways of which the outside w’orld has never heard wherein he has used the machinery of his of fices to relieve distress; and none of those men will need to be reminded that all these sprang from the same genuine and spontaneous Interest in the unfortunate and the unassisted. He hue his full share of faults like other men, but they are not the faults that have been attributed to him, and to my mind they seem unimportant when weighed against the fact that, having wealth and power, he is willing to fight the corporations and try to do something practical for the men at the bottom. No other man in our time has been so fiercely ussalled. but in all history every' man that has disturbed vested Interests has been made the target of the same sort of attack. The weapons Mr. Hearst 1ms chosen have not always been pretty, but It is beyond question that they have been effective. Any way, I have no more doubt of his sin cerity in w'aging war on the men that he believes are oppressing the masses of people than I had of his sincerity ... ..... .when he thrashed the cabman; and I other’s mind* Before we parted It was I understand quite well that In both In- MTfectlr clear to me that this man be- stances the primal motive was the _ i _ _t. . Ao in Rsltsrln*z I suppose ail the mystery that in some minds seems to surround W. R. Hearst, the course he has pursued and the strength of his following, arises from this; that his position is wholly new and seems sinister and abnormal. Here ts a rich man that haa turned against his order and used his wealth to fight wealth Instead of to gain more wealth. We have never before In our n(fairs known that, or "anything like The Instant conclusion among the wealthy was, naturally, that such a man could be actuated only by the most wicked, selfish and malign of mo tives, 'and this Idea, being diligently fostered by the newspapers that are owned by or conducted In the Inter est of predatory wealth, has been ac cepts! as true by many men that have had no other source of Information about him, and has been accentuated by the prejudices of those already of fended on what we are pleased to call grounds of taste because Mr. Hearst had chosen deliberately to address his newspapers to the least fortunate. To these and to many others It has un doubtedly seemed certain that a rich man would not attack wealth except under some strong Impulsion to gain office and power for himself, and prob ably to use for evil purposes what he thus gained. , . I suppose, further, that only those of us that for years and years have been closely associated with Mr. Hearst, that from Intimate observation of him under alt conditions have learned what he really believes and alms at and tries to do, can understand how much the men who do not believe In his sincerity have mlssfed the dominant keynote In his character. Not freer than other men from errors of Judgment, no doubt, is Mr. Hearst: but none of the men that have known him Intimately ever questions the honesty of his convic tions. nor their essential excellence; and It sepms unfair In one of these not to make a protest against what he knows verv well Is a radical Injustice. If you Imagine a man among m °oy oc cupations, distractions and ambitions that still held always and first to a perfectly unaffected, unpretended and Innate sympathy with the less fortu nate people In the world; that was pro foundly dissatisfied with existing con ditions; that really desired to do some thing to make life better and easier for those at the bottom of the socle pile; that was naturally and first of all Interested In lessening the burden of misery, and then was determined to follow what seemed to him tne best way to better conditions, you would have b fair view of one side (and that the most Important and effectlve) of Mr. Hearst’s character. His way might not be another man's way and It might seem to many conscientious persons to be strange and unwise, but It would be at least honest throughout and truly followed. , . „ I go back now to a time when no one had thought of Mr. Hearst as a can didate for any office, when he hlmselt believed that his line of work was strictly within his newspapers, when ne used to marvel how any man ever made a public speech nnd would con fess stage fright when he talked to his editors In council. We were traveling In Italy. I was not then In his employ (though I had been before and was afterwards), but our paths happened to come together nt Florence, nnd we renewed an old friendship as we Jour neyed together. Day by day and night after night ns we were Jolted about on the Italian railroads or sat walling for an Italian table d'hote, we threshed over the subjects In which we were most Interested. So thrown together In a x foreign country, without Interruptions nnd with no reason for concealment, men usually come to pretty fair knowledge of each lleved he had a. work to do In bettering conditions, believed In his own ability to do that work, and would follow his convictions to the end without the slightest concern about the opposition he might arouse. His course since then hes been perfectly consistent with that Impression—with his views ex pressed without reserve In many Inti mate talks—nnd perfectly logical, also, although eventa have turned out so differently from anything we then ex pected. We used to talk about the steady In crease of the power of wealth In the republic: about the Interference of the corporations In politics and public life, the control of the government for the corporation Interests; about the grow ing evil of slums In the cities, the mil lions of people that live therein with out sufficient food, light, air or oppor tunity; about the startling parallel be tween the situation In America and the situation In Rome nt the time of same. On Monday night. In Madison Square Garden, he gave a catalogue of the tiilngM he has done In the war he has made. Put together thus, they make an nmaxltyt showing. On the whole, he seems to have good eruson to be proud of the results. This Is what he said about them: "Insincerity Is to say something you do not mean, to profess something you are not willing to perform. I point not to my words, but my actions. "When I first came to Ne>- \o.lt, l fought and killed the fuel- • o.

The woman says she did. I wonder! Hugh Duffy died 30 years ago, leaving an estate valued at $10,000. Since that time his children have acted on the presumption that he left no will and have divided up the property. Recently one of the daughters, Mar garet Duffy, produced the will and asked that It be declared the last will of her father, and testified that while she knew that the paper In question was the will of her father, she put It away In n box and that she never opened or looked at It from that time until Just before she offered It for pro bate.

It Is a common sight to see a dozen centi pedes basking In the warmth of the forecastle, while the big hungry taran tulas crawl around nnd dry up in the warmth.
