M YSTERIOUS ‘MAN' CLERK
MAY HA VE BEEN DE R YLAN;
WAS FINE STENOGRAPHER
Neiv York. Dec. 27.—After a lapse of
l t n years, during which a sex mystery
In the law office of the late Colonel T.
L . Campbell had been well-nigh for
gotten. the unmasking of Nicolai De
Raylan, the Chlcaga woman, who posed
,, '„ man, reveals complications which
point to the conclusion that De Ray-
Inn began "his” career In this city.
Lawyer Hiram O. Hance, of 22.1
Broadway, was a member of Colonel
Campbell's Arm when It occupied of-
..... at 385 Broadway. He said today
hat in 1823 a young ‘'man" secured
employment In the office as a sten
ographer, giving the name of Langel.
Because of Langel’s appearance there
mat uas a' disposition to ridicule
..jilm" on account of "his" effeminacy,
I ..mtel had a beardless face, a woman’s
epme small hands and feet, and a no-
tleeubly ’’nippy” walk.
Was Skillful Stenographer.
It was not long before the employees
.eased to twit Langel. "He" proved
|„. the most skillful atenogrkpher In
,1,0 irfllee, and was highly esteemed by
tl,e members of the firm. • Because of
• Ills’ efficiency, "his" salary was
placed at the ton notch of 130 a week.
after, I .angel brought to the of-
llr,. a beautiful woman whom “he” In
troduced as "his"*wife. Mfs. Langel
mis head and shoulders taller than her
Husband" and they were a devoted
rouple. The wife called for her ’’hus-
himd" ni the conclusion of his duties
almost every day. There was no more
talk "f Langel being girlish.
Quit to Regain Health.
Langel remained a faithful employee
In the office for three years. There
„..... several occasions during that time
uhen strangers entered the office, and
hearing LangeJ'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.
Langel was afflicted with a chronic
cough, which gave the m'embers of the
IImi. ho became much attached to
• him ” considerable anxiety. They nd-
viseil Lungel to go to Bermuda nnd ac
cepted "his" resignation reluctantly in
the belief Hint tills was his purpose.
Seen Wearing Woman’s Clothes.
A short time after "hlj” departure
on office boy spreud the news among I
other employees that lie hod seen Lun
gel on the street dressed In woman'
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
ssld lie had made an effort to address
Langel, but Hie latter avoided him.
Hr. Hance and Ills present law part
ner. William J. Miller, were walking
along Broadway a year later, when
both exclaimed almost simultaneously:
There Is Lungel dressed If! woman’s
clothes.”
She Fled From Employers.
They were so startled by the discov
ery that a hurried consultation was
held ami they agreed to confirm their
Identification. Crossing the street they
got in front of the woman, and ns she
npitearcd, confronted her.
“We could not have been mistaken,”
Mr. Hance said today. ”\Vc both looked
for and saw the scar. Langel looked
daggers at us. and. the confusion
strengiliened our belief until It amount-
ed'to a certainty. Langel fairly run to
escape our Inspection.”

A number of prominent bankers and

The evidence, In effect, was that the
New Yorker had gotten up a railroad

THE THEATERS
Prineston Gist Club.
One of the rarest musical treats In
many years was presented to a largo
audience In the' Grand Wednesday
night when the Princeton Glee Club
rendered a program of vocal and In-
atrumental music that was enjoyed
from the beginning until the end, when
the Princeton yell concluded the pro
gram. i
Every man In the organisation Is sn
amateur, sn undergraduate In college,
but the performance was equal to any
bigh-class professional aggregation.
The program consisted of songs ren
dered only as Princeton men can render
them, and selections on the banjo and
mandolin that called forth round after
round of applause. Especially Inter
esting was "The Grasshopper.” by
Messrs. Wells. Wagner. McCltntock,
Hamilton, Dillon, 8<>tt, Cass and Rob
bins, and the singing of "Old Nassau
vividly brought to the minds of old
Princeton men the days spent In the
old New Jersey college.
Another Interesting number by the
Glee Club was "1807 Medley—A Trip
to Coney Island.” Popular airs by the
banjo and mandolin clubs caught the
audience and not a selection was Ten
dered without an encore being called
The appearance of the club In At
lanta was the first In ten years and the
result of the 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 “l*eer Gynt.”
No artistic event In the dramatic
history of thla city eclipses the Interest
and Importance attaching to the com
ing of Richard Afansfleld to the Grind
on Thursday night.
Afr. Mansfield 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 seal on a
lofty plane and unstinted generosity In
furnishing pictorial and artistic en
vironment.
The greatest success of his career
haa recently crowned Alansfleld’s most
daring effort. Where only a few of tho
endowed theaters of Europe dared to
tread, Mansfield, with Infallible confl
denor In the public’s latent dealre for
superior drama when finely performed
and presented, rushed In and acted
Peer Oynt.” This Is Henrik Ibsen’s
masterpiece, a poem 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 in the
celebrated mualcnl background written
by Edward arteg.
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 was put on for only one orig
inally.
"Peer Gynt” pletorlally eclipses
Mansfield's celebrated "Cyrano de Ber
gerac," "King Henry V,” "King Rich
ard HI” and "Julius Caesar." It Is In
fact the most extensive set of stage
pictures ever displayed In a single
evening. Other reRsons for the ex
traordinary popularity of "Peer Gynt"
are not absent from tho reviews. The
great role of "Peer Gynt” affords Mr.
, Mansfield's art a wider scope than one
could Imuglne In one evening, though
longer than Cyrano. Hamlet or King
Richard III. The poetry charms, the
music and singing and the Millets dl
vert, the fourteen massive settings fur
nish a continually changing panorama,
the vast crowd furnish agreeable move
ment, and the story Is us amuslhg as
Rip Van Winkle, while vastly more
profound.
"Peer Gynt” has been acted before,
but never In English. It was done with
pitiable poverty In Paris and with
somewhat more pretense at mate per
formances In Manlch and Berlin. It Is
most often presented In the royal the
aters, Christiania and Copenhagen,
where It Is beloved as no other play
given. <
The cast numbers 47. All told, the
company numbers 138 souls. For the
production here Mr. Alansfleld's corps
of musicians to play the Grieg and
other music will be doubled, and 70
extra stage hands will be required to
work with his stage force of 33.
“Parsifal.”
A singularly Impressive and magnifi
cent spectacle scene, among several
others in the famous production of
•'Parsifal" (In English), which Is to be
presented at the Grand Friday and Hat-
unday nights and Saturday matinee, Is
the Temple of the Holy Grail In the
last act.. It Is supposed to be situated
on Mount Salvaat In the Pyrenees
’mountains of Spain. The temple Is the
place of worship of the Knights ot the
Holy Grail and was originally erected
for the safe-keeping of the sacred rel
ics. the holy cup and spear.
It Is Into this gorgeous temple that
Parsifal Is escorted by the faithful
Gurneumns and accompanied liy Jhe
reformed and penitent Kundry.
assembled knights proclaim and rrn
him king of the Holy Grail. Parslfi
ascends the marble throne upon which
Hie Holy Grail Is place'd. The assent
bled knights and all present sink to the
floor u I Kill their bended knees as Parsi
fal, throwing back the knightly mantle
from his shoulders, uncovers and raises
the Holy Grail In adoration. As ne
raises It aloft It glows with n radiant
light that Illumines all present with It*
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 Anal tableau of Wagner's glorious
masterpiece.
“The Two Orphans.”
In spite of the’ fact that "The Two
Orphans” Is one of the most ex penal in
productions scenlcally that It would be
possible to produce, the Baldwln-Mel-
vllle fltock Company, now at tbe El
Dorado, In tlielr desire to give their
Atlanta patrons only tbe best- that can
be procured, have decided 'to put on
this great melislrama this week. Air.
Maitland, Miss Kent, Mr. Murdoch and
others will be seen in the cast. "The
Two orphans” will be given Thursday,
Friday and.Saturday nights, with matl
ness Friday and Saturday.
The box which the Baldwln-MelvIUe
Stock Company announced they would
give away to the person giving the flrst
correct solution to the Sherlock Holmes
card pussle, was won by Mr. Louis
Llorens, of 67 Cono street, city. Out
of an extremely large number of an
swers that were received Mr. Llorens
was the only one that gave the correct
solution.
"The Lion and the Mouse.”
The engagement of "The Lion and
the Alouse,” which takes place at the
Grand on next Monday and Tuesday
nights, will be the means of attracting
very heavy patronage from outlying
towns. The fame of CItarlee Klein
play and of Henry B. Harris' produc.
tlon Is widespread, and for the first
time In this city mall orders have been
received from many points that will
involve a Journey of a 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
the full price of the seats ordered. Ex
perience everywhere this season has
proved the wisdom of mailing orders In
advance, ns the company Is playing to
all the people the theaters will hold and
in most Instances turning hundreds
away. Tickets will be placed on sale
Friday morning.
Colonel George M. Edgar’s Lseturs.
Dr. Robert O. Patrick, president of
the famous Judaon College for Young
Women, Marlon, Ala., says of Colonel
Edgar's lecture on Stonewall Jackson,
to be delivered at the Baptist taber
naclc Saturday night;
"I cannot too highly praise the splen

lecture was a great success.”
At ths Bijou.
The Bijou’s "standing room only*’
sign has been on duty at every per
formance of “Ate, Him and I” this
week, and there Is something ot a
greedy demand for the remaining per
formances.

great deal of Interest *
Nat At. Willis, as Happy Holmes, a

The city of Atlanta and the Central
railroad are mixed tip In quite a 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
tracks on the crossing. This, the may
or knew, would perforce cut Foundry
street In two, and would destroy Its
ussfulness as a thoroughfare.
He notified Chief Jennings of the
circumstances, and Instructed hint to
station a policeman at the croeslng. 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.
Things went along smoothly for sev
eral months, the Central, It la pre
sumed, watching for an opportunity to
catch the city napping. A few days
ago the mayor was notified that the
road waa again getting auaplclously
busy In tbe neighborhood of the pro
posed sidetrack on Foundry street. He
notified the chief and a special officer
waa again sent there.
It seems that last Kunday the road
Goode Price got a necktie for a
Christmas present.
He got other things, too, but he
prizes the necktie above all of his
other gifts.
Not because It Is the finest nor per
haps the most beautiful necktie In the
world. From the viewpoint of a man
extraordinarily fastidious In his per
sonal attire that ntiktle might 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 lie had done
anything to bring forth this expression
of gratitude from the tiny street Arabs.
But that’s the way of all men who-e
hearts are right, and who do kindly
things without a bell and banner an
nouncement of the fact.
Wednesday evening Mr. Price wee
having dinner In a cafe. Suddenly the
door opened and admitted a very dirty. ■
but a very bright-faced lad. He guzrit
about the brilliantly lighted, warm,
cosy room, and then his eyes light I
up as he saw Mr. Price.
“Gee, dera he Is! Hardest man In de
town to ftn’.”
He darted out and In a twinkle was
back with nnother youngster just as
dirty nnd Just ns alert as himself. One
of them held n gorgeously decorated
box In his outstretched hand.

track und to arrest all trying to do so.
The officers arrived In time to pre
vent the confiscation of the street. If
such was the Intention of the road. It
seems to be the Idea of the Central
that If the tracks are once laid they
cannot be taken up by the city, except
by litigation, and the case can be kept
dragging in the courts until the side
track 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 flrst. If
the officials think they have the right to
lay the proposed track.

New York, Dec. 27a—Regarding the

of the fact that the election Is over

only that of all cltlsens, we feel that
