FOR THE BELGIAN
SUFFERERS.
At the recent convention of the State
Federation of Woman's Club in Al
bany it was suggested that each club
member in Georgia invest one dollar
in cotton goods, and make the ma
terial into a garment or garments for
the suffering Belgians, thus helping
two worthy causes. Augusta is much
behind other cities in the stae in this
work but we all realize it is not from
the lack of human sympathy, and feel
sure it is only fdr the lack of some
one of our many charities to take this
matter up; but now that the Woman's
Club has it in hand, we know that Au
gusta and her citizens will uphold
them in every way possible.
Therefore all women interested in
this relief work will please meet in the
Albion parlors on Wednesday at noon
to discußs the best method to help the
helpless.

FASTEST WORLD
BIKE BABE Oil
17 Teams Whirling Over Ten
Lap Course in New York Six
Laps in Front of Previous
Record.
New Yor.—Seventeen teams of the
world’s fastest cyclists whirled over
the ten-lap course at Madison Square
Garden today in the swiftest six-day
cycle race ever staged there. At 8
o’clock the riders had gone 189 miles
and 9 laps since the start at midnight
and were six laps in front of the prev
ious record set by Walthour and Cam
eron in 19X2.
One team of the eighteen that start
ed dropped out of the race at dawn.
This was the French team of Emil
Causseau and Geo. Parent, the latter
but six weeks out of a French hos
pital, where he recovered from a
wound in the leg received in the bat
tle of Charleroi. His team trailed far
behind the pace and at 5:36 o’clock,
ten miles behind, it was declared out
of the race.
Prizes of cash (called primes) were
offered unexpectedly during the con
test to riders who should lead at given
mileages. These resulted In bursts of
speed that broke the record at 3
o’clock this morning and hung up new
figures at each hour thereafter. The
innovation, borrowed from the French,
was introduced here for the first time
today.

OTIS SKINNER IN
"THE SILENT VOICE."
In selecting “The Silent Voice." for
Otis Skinner’s use this season Charles
Frohman has exercised his good judg
ment particularly well. ‘‘The Silent
Voice’’ is a distinctly modern play
written by Jules Eckert Goodman who
found his inspiration in a short story
by Gouverneur Morris and the play is
said to be extremely human, clean, in
teresting and dramatic. The charac
ter portrayed by Mr Skinner is of en
tirely' different type than any he has
played in recent years. There is no
especial costuming for the hero is an
American gentleman of today, living in
New York City and rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. Mr. Skinner’s per
formance is said to be illuminating,
thoughtful and beautifully rounded. In
deed it is one of the strongest and
most artistic portrayals the stage has
scene in a long time, it is said. Mont
gomery Starr, (Mr. Skinner). a mid
dle-aged New York clubman, wealthy,
traveled, cultured, In love with his
charming young ward is, moreover, an
amateur musician of no mean ability.
But just as the moment In ills career
when the world has most to offer hjm
he is suddenly stricken with auditory
apoplexy. At first, after this calamtty
has befallen, he is a puzzled, Irritable,
horrified soul, a man shrinking from
human companionship, crushed, in a
state of Intense revolt against hnth
God and man. To hint, then, as com
forter and friend, comes Mildred Hal
lam, (Mrs. Skinner), whom he has
known ey'er since his childhood days.
She encourages him, persuades him
that the past, as represented by his
musical life, is dead, but that the fu
ture lies before him to mold as he
wills. She induces him, in spite of
his affliction, to offer himself to the
girl he loves, and the act, closes with
a charming love scene and the be
trothal of Starr and Marjorie Blair.
(Florence Fisher.) Two years pat<s.
Marjorie, now Starr's wife, though re
maining faithful to him, is gradully
becoming estranged and is being pur
sued by her husband's young nephew
After an interview with the boy and
while in a highly' wrought state of
mind, she encounters her husband,
from whose caresses she shrinks, and
this leads to a stormy scene and the
final separation of the couple although
they live under the same roof. He
defies the “Trickster” who dwells In
Heaven and is playing W'ith him, a
mere pawn in the game of life, the
"Trickster” who always dashes from
his lips the cup of happiness just as
he is about to drink it most deeply.
The terrified wife departs—it is an
opera night—but she leaves her opera
glasses on the table. During these
two years Starr has become skilled in
a new science and so proficient is he
that even at a distance he can under
stand what people are saying. So it
Is that gazing out of the window in
an agony of despair his attention is at
tracted by a young couple seated on a
bench in Central Park. Understand
ing them hut imperfectly, be seizes his
vise’s glasses and concentrates on their
■ aces The stage darkens and through
the wall of the house the audience secs
a hoy and a girl in the park and list
ens to their pathetic conversation.
Thus is visualized the thing that Starr
learns from their own lips through the
medium of his ey'es. He at once con
ceives the idea of directing their des
tiny himself. They', too, are merely
victims of the ‘‘Trickster’’ who sits
above. The “Trickster" Ims given these
young poeple misery and sorrow as
their portion. He will play the game
too and give them happiness. Now
begins the development of Starr’s
character, the presentment of the man
who does good in order that he tnay
dpfy his Maker, but whose own spirit
ual growth results, is extremely strik
ing. Parted from his wife, he dwells
alone upon the housetop, where, sup-,
plied with powerful binoculars, he
learns the conversations of the men
and women and children whom he
studies in the park beneath, until fi
nally his hard heart grows soft and
tender, his inner nature changed and
purged by selfishness, glows in whlte
nesß and purity. He listens for the
“still small voice” that will show him
how to solve his final problem—the
/--oblem of his relation to tlio woman
who Is his wife in name only. Then
In the twilight he sees the woman and
her lover In the park. Understanding
their conversation, he is ready, when
she returns home, to make the final
sacrifice. But the girl, too. has been
awaiting a sign. She loves her hus
band and has sent the youth away.
Charles Frohman has selected a par
ticularly efficient company for Mr.
Skinnuer’H ( support It Is said and has
given the play a novel, handsome and
elaborate production. Otis Skinner
