THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27. IS 1 *. 7 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.” BAILEY CANCELS DATE-OF MEETING ' CALLEDATDALLAS Three More County Prima ries Called to Determine Sentiment of People.

A number of prominent bankers and business men appeared In court to tea tlfy against Lee. The evidence, In effect, was that the New Yorker had gotten up a railroad time book, to bs used by railroads In keeping the time ot their employeet. and had worked a fraud In the solicit ing of advertisements for the front and back covers of the book. He Is said to have visited the Lowry Nation al bank and there secured an ad. prom. Islng this bank It should have the ex clusive right In Hie book for this line of ads. The Fourth Nntlonal bank Is said to have been visited on the same mis sion and the same promise made to tills bank, that It should have the ex clusive bank space. “Exclusive" Advertising.

Lee had stated In each Instance, It Is said, that several thousand of the time books would be printed. Sufficient Information was finally ob. mined, however, by the bankers and undertakers to lead them to believe thev were the victims of graft, and sn 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 Nntlonal bank. This also applied to the under- ta jo«eiih T.

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 did lecture on Stonewall Jackson de. Ilvered In the Judson auditorium by Colonel George AI. Edgar. From the strong indorsements we had received we expected to be pleased, but all our expectations were surpassed. Colonel Edgar, himself a gallant soldier, who was well acquainted with Stonewall Jackson'S! student and on the Held of admirably equipped Yr the of the noble character of the greatest genius of war. From standpoint of literary excellence, veil as In moral Inspiration, the 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. The ever popular musical comedy has scored one of the strongest hits In ths whole history ot the theater, and the theatergoer*- have welcomed It with a great deal of Interest * Nat At. Willis, as Happy Holmes, a peripatetic philosopher. In hie latest musical comedy success, “A Lucky Dog,” by Alark E. Swan and Georgs Nichols, Is seen at his'best. Through out the entire three acts, of this mu sical play he Is Ihe "happy tramp," al ways witty, s ways within the char acter. which Is surrounded by a host of other Interesting characters and a good crowd of parity girls. The engagement at the Bijou wlU be- 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. "Bay, mister, dls here's fer you from me an' de udder kid. Youse been good ler us. an' we kinder wanted to 'mem ber youse. Merry Chrlhtmas!" 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. — Mayor Woodward states that the had got everything ready for the lay- street will now be fenced In. A Una of posts the length of the crossing will Ing of the track on the street. Thursday morning Ihe 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 Osburn and ten men to the scene, with In structions to prevent the laying of the be erected on the edge of the street, along the railroad tracks. The city Is slightly leading at the end of the fourth rouhd. Unless ths railroad can spring a stiff, unexpected punch, the frirmer looks likely to win on points. ■ COL. CLIFFORD L. ANDERSON TO BE CHAIRMAN OF BOARD When the board of county commls "loners holds Its flrst meeting of the new year, on Wednesday, January 2. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson will. It Is said, be chosen clialcpian, to succeed Hubert L. Culberson, who resigns to take charge of the county treasurer's office, to which he was elected several months ago. Robert F.

New York, Dec. 27a—Regarding the letter written by District Attorney Je rome to D. Cady Herrick, of counsel for the Mutual Life Policyholders' As sociation, saying he Is now willing to take up ths matter concerning charges against President Peabody, of the Mu tual Life Insurance Company, of co ercion In .connection with the election of trustees of that company, Russell W. Fish, secretary of the association, to whom the letter was referred, said: “As to ths attitude of this associa tion In bringing these charges again*: Mr. Peabody In October, our purpose was 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 tbs punishment of the crime •riant, and the association trusts the djatrlct attorney will take up the matter vigorously, nevertheless, In view of the fact that the election Is over and, by Mr. Jerome's acquiescence, Mr. Peabody and his fellow law-breakers have already reaped the fruits of their Illegal actions, so that our Interest Is only that of all cltlsens, we feel that any criminal action to be taken at thl* time Is the concern of the district at torney, as such, rather than ours. The witnesses In this matter were, as the district attorney Is aware, clients of Al bert H.
