ENTERED BT THIEVES
CracksmenFrightenedAwav
; Before They Can Blast
the Vault.
New York, Dee. 26.—Every policeman aod
detective In Greater New York was search
ing today for a trace of three expert batik
burglar* who just missed robbing the vanlt
of a downtown savings bank.
The Institution which so narrowly escaped
robbery Is said to lie operated lu Chambera
street, and one which does not employ a
night watchman.
The funds, which the burglar* fulled to
get, am declared to hare ran lato t(ie htiti-
dreds of thousands. They had filed holes iu
the door of the vault and had filled some of
them with pdwder when they were fright-
eued away.
Is known that the three cracksmen
gained entrance to the bank late on Mon
day night. It Is said also that they hnd
l>eeii released on that very day In h police
court, after nrrest by Inspector McLaugh
lln’a men on Suspicion. The police, hovv-
r, could bring nothing against them, and
they were allowed to go.
i AT THE THEATERS
MANY OFFICIALS
DAVE FAILED TO FILE
BONDS WITH OFFICIAL
With only live day. mare In which to
comply with legal regulations, only
about half of the tax receivers and tax
collectors of .the state have complied
with tile, law requiring them to file
bonds with the comptroller' general.
Ubdor the law the tax collectors and
tax receivers elected for 1907 and 1908
are allowed only until January 1
which to file the bond with tho comp
troller. It Is astonishing how negli
gent a large percentage of these offi
dal* are about so Important a mat
ter.
Those who fall to comply with the
regulation by January 1 will have no
authority to discharge the duties of
their offices, and to attempt to do so
before having made the bond Is a mis
demeanor. It Is also within tho prov
ince of the governor to declare vacated
such offices.
Kvery mall Is bringing In the bonds,
nnd the comptroller Is hopeful that all
newly elected officials will have their
papers here by next Monday evening.

SERVIAN POLICE
ATTACK STUDENTS
Belgrade, Servia, Dec. 26.—The bill
authorizing: a loan has led to angry
public feeling, which not only threat
ens a ministerial crisis, but points to
the consummation ot the long: predicted
anti-dynastic outbreak.
There was a noisy demonst ration on
Sunday outside of the king’s palace.
Cheers were repeatedly given for a re
public. The police charged with swords
and the gendarmes used their revol
vers wouruling a student. There was
another noisy demonstration outside
the Skupshtina Monday.
Princeton Glee Club.
The Princeton Glee Club comes to
the Grand for one concert on Wednes
day night, and all society Is going to
turn out to welcome the boys from the
Southerner's favorite college.
There are forty-seven of the boy
singers, mandolin and banjo players—
and all that makes a college glee.
The Princeton “Step Song,” dear to
the heart of every son of the old ’var
sity, will open the program, and will
be followed by a selection of varied
numbers.
Mansfield in “Peer Gynt.”
Probably no production of Mr. Mans
field's In recent years, certainly none
since his “Cyrano,” ha} attracted so
much attention as his marvelous Inter
pretation of Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt,” with
the Grieg music to lend Its charm. Mr.
Mansfield appeal's at the Grand Thurs
day night for one performance only
and the house will be filled to capacity.
Baldwin-Melville Stock Company.
“Sherlock Holmes,’* 1 which Is being
played by the Baldwin-Melvllle Stock
Company at the El Dorado, Is proving
to be ono of the best plays ever pro
duced at this popular theater. The
people of the company are well suited
to their roles and the play moves with
dash and spirit from the rise to the
fall of the curtain. As Sherlock Holmes
It would be hard to find 1 setter than
Mr. Arthur Maitland, the new leading
man from the Forepaugh Stock Com
pany, of Philadelphia. He has made a
hit with Atlanta andtences and his
popularity Is bound to grow stronger
as they see more of his work. .
Beginning Thursday night, the Bald*
wfn-Melville Stock Company will give
one of their greatest scenic plays, “The
Two Orphans.” This play has been
produced thousands of times before au
diences all .over the woi^ld. In this
country It was made famoub by Kate
Claxton, who charmed thousands of
people night after night with It.
“The Two Orphans” will be given
Thursday, Friday nnd Saturday nights,
with matinees Friday and Saturday.
"The Lion and the Mouse."
The Western tour of Henry B. Har
ris’ special company In ”The Lion and
the Mouse” has proved the most suc
cessful recorded In recent years. The
fame of Mr. Klein’s play has preceded
It all over the country. And It has been
played to actual capacity everywhere.
December 3 marked the commence
ment of the Southern tour of the play
and It js proving fully an big a success
as In the East and West.
The Lion and tho Mouse” Is an
nounced to appear next Monday nnd
Tuesday, and New’ Year’s matinee, at
the Grand. It Is safe to say that this
will be one of the most welcome of
ferings of the season at the Grand and
the three performances will certainly
draw large audiencea.
The sale of seats will begin Friday
morning.
A Wee Bit of a Girl.
A wee bit of a girl, a charming little
soubrette, heretofore unknown In At
lanta, Is the strongest Individual draw
ing card of the "Me, Him and I” pr>-
ductlon at the Bijou, and this fact has
beep demonstrated at three perform
ances, by repeated encores of her ef
forts and her receptions at every ap
pearance.
Babette Burg, with her mass of un
ruly auburn hair, her nimble feet and
graceful carriage, Is In the cast hh

That Is simply to have a reason for her
being on the stage at all, for the^part
is of mighty little consequence, hut

The deaths recorded in Atlanta tor
the year 1906, up to December 1, num
ber 2,680.
The total deaths tor the previous
year were 2,680. In other words, as
many people died In Atlanta In the
eleven months qf this year as died In
Atlanta the twelve months of last year.
Considering the great Increase of popu
lation, the proportion of deaths to pop
ulation is nearly the same.
If the death rate of December Is In
proportion to the death rate of the first
eleven moths, the total deaths for the
year will be 2,820. This Is an average
of 235 a monh.
The following are the deaths, accord
ing to months: January, 196: Febru
ary, 187; Mnrch, 287: April, 279: May,
277; June, 283; July. 235; August. 238;
September, 226; October, 216, and No
vember, 158.
It will be seen that last month the
fewest number of deaths were re
corded, while in March the most
deaths occurred. ,
Besides Georgia and other parts of
the United States, the following for
