There sere several occasions during that time when strangers entered the office, and hearing Langel's voice as "he" sat out of view In another room, Insisted that the speaker was a woman. “His" ap pearance on these occasions sometimes caused good-natured bandlnage. Ungel was afflicted with a chronjc rough, which gave the members of the firm, who became much attached to -him," considerable anxiety. They a(l r vised Langel to go to Bermuda and ac cepted "Ids" resignation reluctantly In the belief that this was his purpose. Seen Wearing Woman’s Clothes. A short time after "his" departure an office boy spread the news among other employees that he had seen Lan gel on the street. dressed In woman's clothes. The boy was ridiculed, but stoutly clung to his story. He said he could not be mistaken, because of a slight scar on Langel’s face. The boy said lie had made an effort to address Ungel, hut the latter avoided him. Mr, Hance and his present law part ner. William J. Miller, were walking along Broadway a year later, when both exclaimed almost simultaneously: "There Is Langel dressed In woman's clothes." She Fled From Employers. They were so startled by the dtseov- that a hurried consultation was .tir'd and they agreed to conflrm their lideniidcailon. Crossing the street they Jfrt in front of the woman, and as she appesred. confronted her. We could not have been mistaken."

Lee. a middle-aged man of neat appearance, who came to At lanta two weeks ago from New York, was arraigned before Recorder Broyles Thursday morning he was accused of operating a smooth flim-flam game, by which he was fleecing Atlanta banks and Atlanta undertakers. After hearing the evidence, the re corder ordered the New Yorket* held in „ 1V . . 6200 bond for the state courts on the vi„T" ^,h» JZi !*k!d ch » r * e » f cheating and swindling. A number of prominent banker* and business men appeared In court to tea- tlly agalntt Lee. The evidence, in effect, wa* that the New Yorker had gotten up a railroad time book, to be u»ed by railroad, in keeping the time of their employee,, and had worked a fraud In the solicit ing of advertisement, for the front and back rover, of the book. He I, said to have visited the Lowry Notion al bank and there accured an ad. prom ising this bank it should have the ex clusive right In the book for this line of ads. Tile Fourth National bank la said to have been visited on the same mis sion and the same promise made to thla bank, that It should have the ex clusive bunk space. “Exclusive” Advertising. Lee, It 1, aald, carried to each bank a dummy of tha book, explaining to the officials whera the ad would ap pear, and In each Instance agreeing that till, should be the only bank ad In the book. . The officials of the two banks, each thinking their bank would be the only one represented, thought this u good plun and rcudily accepted the spare. The undertaking Arms of Barclay & Brandon and H. M. Patterson are said to have taken space In the book on the same condition that the ad of each tlrm was to be exclusive, neither one know ing the other had bought space. Lee had stated In each Instance, Is said, that several thousahd of the time books would be printed. Sufficient Information waa finally ob. talned, however, by the bankers and undertakers to lead them to believe they were the vlctlpt, of graft, and ap Investigation was made, resulting in the arrest of Lee Wednesday by Po liceman Florence. Two of the time books were Intro duced In evidence to show the alleged scheme of duplicity. On one of the books appeared the advertisement of the Lowry bank, while on the other ap peared the ad of the Fourth National bank. This also applied to the under- ta joseph T. Orme, cashier of the Low- ry bank; J. K. Ottley, of the Fourth National bank; Q. H. Brandon, of Bar clay * Brandon; Fred Patterson, son of «. M. Patterson: John Thomasop, the printer, and others testified. The prosecution was represented by Judge Walter T. I’olqultt, while Attorney John W. Moore appeared for the de fendant. Lee made no. statement. Hla at torney, however, declared Lee meant no wrong by the duplicate books. He said Lee had Intended one of the books for the railroad yard men and the oth er for the nten on the main line. •L ruscd of robbing R. F.

One of the rarest musical treats In many years was presented to a large audience In. the Orand Wednesday night when the Princeton Glee Club rendered a program of vocal and In strumental music tyat was enjoyed from the beginning until the end, when the Princeton yell concluded the pro gram. Every man In the organisation b an amateur, an undergraduate In college, but the performance was equal to any high-class professional aggregation. The program conalnletl of songs ren dered only as Princeton men eun render them, nnd aelectloni on the banjo nnd mandolin that called fArm round after round of applause. Especially Inter esting was "The Grasshopper," by Messrs. Wells, Wagner. McClIntock, Hamilton. Dillon. Scott, Cass and Rob bins. and the singing of “Old Nassau vividly brought to the minds of old Princeton men the dayie spent In the old New Jersey college. Another Interesting number by the Glee Club was "1907 Medley—A Trip to Coney Island." Popular airs by the banjo nnd mandolin clubs caught the audience and not a selection wa* ren dered without an encore being called for. The appearance of the club In At lanta waa the first In ten years and the reault of tlie entertainment was a unan imous desire on the part of the au dience that Atlanta be Included In the holiday tour each year. P. E. W. Mansfield in “Peer Qynt." No artistic event In the dramatic history of this city eclipses the Interest and Importance attaching to the com' Ing of Richard Mansfield to the Grand on Thursday night. Mr. Mansfleld stands alone among English speaking artists In a pre-emi nence for which nature intended him, and he has prepared and maintained himself by the most untiring xeal on a lofty plane and unstinted generosity In furnishing pictorial gnd artistic en vironment. The greatest success of his career has recently crowned Mansfield's most daring effort. Where only a few of the endowed theaters of Europe dared to tread,' Mansfield, with Infallible confi dence In tlie public's latent desire for superior drama when finely performed and presented, rushed in and acted Peer Oynt." This Is Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece, a isiem comprehensive as human life, vibrant with emotion, bril liant with comedy, vast In the pano ramic demands, exquisite In the motion of dances, the lilt of songs, and fn the celebrated musical background written by Edward Grieg. Mansfield’s triumph was Instantane ous and beyond anything else in recent dramatic history. "Peer Gynt" ran for four consecutive weeks In Chicago, where It waa put on for only one orig inally. “Peer Gynt" plrtorially eclipses Mansfield's celebrated "Cyrano de Ber gerac." "King Henry V." “King Rich ard 111" and "Julius Caesar." It fat in fact the most extensive set of stage pictures ever displayed In a single evening. Other reasons for the ex traordinary popularity of “Peer Gynt” ore not absent Trom the reviews. The great role of "Peer Gynt" affords Mr. Mansfield's art a wider scope than one could Imagine In one evening, though longer than Cyrano, Hamlet or King nichard III. The poetry charms, the music and singing nnd the ballets di vert, the fourteen massive settings fur nish n continually changing panorama, the vast crowd furnish agreeable move ment, nnd the story Is ns amusing as Rip Van Winkle, while vastly more profound. "Peer Oynt" has been acted before, but never In English. It was done with pitiable poverty In Purls and with somewhat more pretense nt state per formances In Munich nnd DerlM. It Is most often presented In the royal tlie nters. Christiania and Copenhagen, where It Is beloved as no other play given. The cast numbers 47. All told, the company numbers 138 souls. For Iho production here Mr. Mansfield'* corps of musicians tn play the Grieg nnd other music will bo doubled, and 70 extra stage hand* will be required to work with his stage force of 32. “Pariifal.” A singularly Impressive and magnifi cent spectacle scene, among several Others In the famous production of "Arslfar (In English), which Is to bfe presented nt the Grand Friday and Sat urday nights and Snturday matinee, Is the Temple of tho Holy Grail In the fast act. It fa supposed to be situated on Mount Salvant In the Pyrenees mountnlns of Spain. Tlie temple Is tho place of worship of the Knights of the Holy Grail and was originally erected for the safe-keeping of tlie sacred rel ics. the holy cup and spear. , It Is into this gorgeous temple that Parsifal Is escorted by the faithful Gurnemanx and accompanied by the reformed anil penitent Kundry. The assembled knights proclaim and crown him king of the Holy Grail. Parslful ascends the marble throne upon which th# Holy arall Is placed. The assem bled knights and all present sink to the floor upon their bended knees ns Parsi fal, throwing back the knightly mantle from his shoulders, uncovers and raises the Holy Grail In adoration. As oe raises It aloft It glows with a radiant light that Illumines nil present with Its rays of restored grace, a beautiful white dove descends from above, hov ering over the head of Parsifal, and the curtain slowly falls upon the grand and llnal tableau of Wagner's glorious masterpiece. “The Two Orphan*.” * In spite of the fact that "Tlie Two Orphans'* Is one of the most expensive productions srenlcally that It would be possible to produce, the Baldwin-Mel- ville Stock Company, now at the El Dorado, In their desire to give their Atlanta patrons only the best that can be procured, have decided to put on this great melodrama this week. JJr. Maitland, Miss Kent. Mr. Murdoch afii others will be seen In I lie cast. "The Two Orphans" will be given Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights, with mati nees Friday and Saturday. The box which the Baldwln-Melvllle Stock Company announced they would give away to the person giving the first correct solution to the Sherlock Holmes card puxzle, was won by Mr. Louis Llorens, of 67 C’one street, city. Out of an extremely large number of an swer# that were received Mr. Llorens was the only one that gave the correct solution. “Th* Lion and the Mouse.” • The engagement of "Tho Lion and the Mouse," which tkkea place at the Grand on next Monday and Tlieaday nights, will bo the means of attracting very heavy patronagfc from outlying town*. The fame of Charles Klein's Iday and of Henry' B. Harris’ produc tion Is wUlenprcnd. and for the flrat time In this city mall orders have been received from many points that will Invblve a Journey of n hundred miles or more to witness the great American drama. The local management will give special attention to mall orders from suburban towns, when they are accompanied by a remittance covering tho full price of the seats ordered,,Ex perience everywhere this season has proved the wisdom of mailing order* 1o advance, as the company Is playing to all tho people the theaters will hold and Ip most Instances turning hundreds away. Tickets will be placed on sale Friday morning. Colonel Georg* M. Edgar’* Lecture. Dr. Robert O. Patrick, president of the famous Judson College for Young Women, Marlon, Ala., saya nt Colonel Edgar's lecture on Stonewall Jocsson, to be delivered at the Baptist taber nacle Saturday night: “I cannot too highly praise the splen did lecture on Stonewall Jackson de livered In the Judson auditorium by Colonel George M.' Edgar. From the strong Indorsements we had received we expected to be pleased, but all ou* expectations were surpassed. Colonel Edgar, himself a gallant soldier, who was well acquainted with Htnnewall Jackson as student and on the Held of battle, Is admirably equipped Yr the portrayal of tho noble character of the world’s greatest genius of War. From the standpoint of literary excellence, as well as in moral Inspiration, the lecture was a great success." At th* Bijou. /The Bijou’s "standing room only" sign has been on duty at every per formance of "Me, Him and I" thla week, and there la something of greedy demand for the remaining per formances. The ever popular musical comedy has scored one of the strongest hits In the whole history of the theater, and the theatergoers have welcomed It with a great deal of Interest, . Nat M.

Through out the entire three act* of this mu sical play lie Is the "happy tramp,” al ways witty, always within the char acter. which’is surrounded by a host of other Interesting characters and a gisttl crowd of pretty girls.

CENTRAL AND CITY WAGING A BATTLE Foundry Street Side Track Right Cause'of •Trouble. The city of Atlanta and the Central railroad are mixed up In quite o lively little tilt over the possession of Foun dry street. About six months ago Mayor Wood ward was notified that the Central was planning to build a sidetrack on Foun dry street, parallel with the other teack* on the crossing. Thla. the may or knew, would perforce cut Foundry street In ^vo, and would destroy Its usefulness as a thoroughfare. He notified Chief Jennings of the circumstances, and Instructed him to station a policeman at the crossing, to see that the tracks were not laid. The Central officials, told the mayor that they did not Intend to lay the rack, and, after the officer had been there six weeks, he was withdrawn. Thing* went along smoothly for ser ai months, the Central, It Is pre sumed, watching for an opportunity to catch the city napping. A few days Goode Price got a necktie for a Christmas present. He got other things, toe, but he prises < the necktie above all of his other gifts. Not because It Is the finest-non per haps the most beautiful necktie In the world. Front the viewpoint of a man extraordinarily fastidious in his per sonal attire that miktle mlght.be called 'impossible.'' But not by Goode Price. It came as the grateful, remembrance of two little "newsies" to whom Mr. Price had been kind. He denies that ho had done anything to bring forth this expression of gratitude from the tiny street Arabs. But that's the way of all men whose hearts are right, and who do kindly things without a bell and banner an nouncement of the fact. Wednesday evening Mr. Price was hRVIng dinner in a cafe. Suddenly the door opened and admitted a very dirty, but a very blight-faced lad. lie gazed about the brilliantly lighted, warm, cosy room, and then Ills eyes lighted up a* he saw Mr. Price. ''Gee,' dere he Is! Hardest man In de town to fin'.” He darted out and In a twinkle was back with knottier youngster Just as dirty and Just as alert as himself. One of them held a gorgeously decorated box In his outstretched hand. "8ay, mister, dl* here's fer you from me an' de udder kid. Youse been good ter us, an' we kinder wanted to 'mem- |ier youse.' Merry Christmas!" few days ago the mayor waa notified thot the road was again getting auspiciously busy In the neighborhood of the pro posed sidetrack on Foundry street. He notified the chief and a special officer was again sent there. It seems that last Sunday the road had track and to arrest all trying to do so. The officers arrived In time to pre- rent the confiscation of the street, if such was the Intention of the road. It seems to he the Idea of the Central that If the tracks are once laid they cannot be taken up by the city, except by litigation, nnd the case can be kept has about served Its purpose, or until the city loses heart and gives up. It Is the Intention of the city to make the railroad go Into the court first. If the officials think they have the right to lay the proposed track. , . .... Mayor Woodward states that the -t everything ready for the lay- street will now be fenced In. A line or posts the length of the crossing will be erected on the edge of the street, along the railroad tracks. The city I* slightly leading at the end of the fourth round. Unless the railroad can spring u stiff, unexpected punch, the former looks likely to win on points. ng of the track on the street. Thursday morning the special officer notified the police headquarters that a force of Central workmen were getting ready to lay the track. Acting Captain Whitley sent Acting Sergeant O/.burn and ten men to the scene, with In structions to prevent the laying of the COL. CLIFFORD L.

Robert F. }<addox Is the new mem ber of the board chosen to fill the va cancy caused by th* resignation of Mr. Culberson, and the promotion of Colo nel Anderson. While no official an nouncement of Colonel Anderson's se lection for the chairmanship has been FOR HISJACTIVIIY Russell Fish Hands Him a Few Regarding Insur ance Prosecution. made. It Is the consensus of opinion among those well posted In county matters that the honor will ho con ferred upon him. He has been a mem ber of the board for many years, and his work, especially as chairman bf the committee In charge of public Improve ments, has won and merited commen dation In all aectlons of the county.

Dee. *7.—Regarding the letter written by District Attorney Je rome to D. Cady Herrick, of counsel for the Mutual Life Policyholders’ As sociation, saying he la now willing to take up the matter concerning charges •gainst'President Peabody,, bf the Mu tual Life Insurance Company, of co ercion In connection with the election of trustees bf that company, Russell W. Fish, secretary of the association, to whom the letter waa referred, said: “As to the attitude of this associa tion In bringing thesa charges against Mr. Peabody In October, our purpose waa to prevent the continuing of the crime of coercion of employees In be half of the administration ticket, rath er than to bring about the punishment of a completed crime after the crimi nal had profited to the full thereby. "While the punishment of the crime Is Important, and the association trusts the district attorney will take up the matter vigorously, nevertheless, tn view of the fact that tho election Is over and, by Mr. Jerome's acquiescence, Mr. Peabody and Ms fellow law-breakers have already reaped the fruit* of their Illegal actions, so that our Interest Is only that of all cltlnns, wo feel that any criminal action to he taken at thl* time Is the concern of the district at torney, as auch, rather than ours. The witnesses In this matter were, as jhe district attorney la aware, clients of Al bert 8. Bard, who will no doubt arrange to produce them at Mr. Jerome's re quest.
