WHEN ALL IS DONE.
When all la done, and my last word
Is raid.
And ye who loved mo murmur: "Ho Is
dead.”
1/Ot no one woep, for fear that 1 should
know,
And sorrow too that ye should sor
row so.
When all Is done and In the nosing
clay
Ye lay this cast-off hull of mine
away,
I'rny not for me, for, after lona de
spair,
The quiet of the grave will be a
prayer.
For I have suffered loss and grievous
pain,
The hurts and hatreds and the world's
disdain:
And wounds so deep that love, well
tried and pure.
Had not the pow'r to ease them or to
cure.
When all is done, say not my day Is
o'er.
And that thro' the night ! seek a dim
mer shore;
Fay rather that my morn has just be
gun
1 greet the dawn and not a setting
sun
When all Is done.

Eugene Walter has attained almost
the Impossible in the charming ar
rangement of facts and fiction, In his
splendid dramatization of John Fox,

Nona of his former plays approach
this, his latest effort, in dramatic
power, and you will enjoy this ro
mantic and absorbing love story, which
so many have read, as it has been
dramatized. Miss Eleanor Montell, in
the role of June. Is most delightful as
the prorotype of Mr. Fox’s herone. The
cast Is one of the host ever seen out

German dialect comedian, Al. H. Wil

pi rtod of time of the story is 1864,

is plenty of humor In "When Old New
York Was Dutch;'* there Is plenty of
color in scenic effects, and In the bril
liant uniforms of the English and the
quaint costumes of the Dutch; there
are emotional situations of dramatic
Intensity; and then, of course, there
nrc songs composed and rendered by
the star, the kind of songs that imme
diately find n resting place in one's
memory, with such fascinating titles
as "When 1 first Met You." "Moon.

Court was held at 9 o'clock this
morning. The shabby court-room was
dark. The sicklv daylight seemed to
have trouble getting in through the
windows. The air was damp and
penetrating. It was a sad and un
pleasant morning.
The prisoners came up out of the
guard-room, where the stove cooks the
foul air, like a vapor rising from a
pot of soiled clothes. They emerged
from the hot stench, with heads aching
and mouths bitter, into the white half
light of the pitiless court, to be Jurged.
They had already abased and humbled
themselves utterly in the long hours
of disgust and remorse—ls there he
any virtue In repentance they were
already absolved in the eyes of their
Maker. Yet they must come up and
he Judged. They must expiate their
fault further, must pay the price for
their mistake, that their fellow-man
might have revenge.
First came up a white man of mid
dle age. a quiet, industrious and re
spected citizen ot' Augusta—a tailor
hy profession—charged with being
drunk yesterday evening. He appa
rently had not heen very drunk, for
his eye was clear enough. He ex
plained to Judge Irvin that he had
worked until 6 o'clock, after which,!
ha readily admitted, he had taken too;
much whiskey. He had spent the night!
in the guard-room in consequence. Hoi
further explained that his boss was
sick and that he was working on a !
suit of clothes for a patron who must
have them tomorrow. If the Judge
would be lenient with him, he said, he
could procure the money later. He
had none at the moment. If he was
sent to the stockade, there was no
body to finish the suit of clothes.
Judge Irvin suspended his $3 sentence
and allowed him to go out and get the
75 cents for the costs of court.
Number two was an old man of
rather more than middle age, who
came to Augusta yesterday from Flor
ence. S. C.. on the way to Blythe, Ga.,
where his son was sick. He had met
some people that he knew last night
while waiting over between trains, had
taken some drinks, and the first thing
he knew he was arrested. He asked
to he allowed to proceed on hts way
to his son's bedside, and promised not
to take another drink In town. "Ton
are too old a man to be getting drunk,
Mr. ." sal.l hls honor, "leave that
for the young. You can go. I'll eus
pend three dollars of your sentence.
Go out and get me seventy-five cents."
A young white man who drives a
huckster's wagon came up next and

seemed to he In a bad way. He was
trembling violently and suffering con.
siderable after effects of a debauch.
He begged not to be sent to the stock
ade, said that he ha/d never before
been arrested, except once more than
a year ago; that he was not a regular
drinker and was able to get back to
work this morning. He was, let off,
like the others, with 75 cents, but
warned not to appear again.
J. \V. Hemsley, an old white man
In his sixties, was arrested yesterday
on a report from citizens living near
the King Mill that he was a nuisance.
A niece of the man with whom Hems
ley boards testified that he was drunk
all the time, that he never worked or
paid his rent, that he slept all day
while others worked, and made him
self a nuisance at night begging food
and raising disturbances. She said
that he used profane and dirty lan
guage continually and had no respect
for anybody. At length yesterday she
sent for a policeman to get him away
from the house. He clung onto the
banisters when the policeman tried to
get him away so that the policeman
was forced to hit him on the hand to
make him let go. He then struck the |
policeman in the face and the latter!
clubbed him on top of his bald head,
which was bound up this morning in
bloody cotton and adhesive. He was
sent for ten days to the stockade to
get straight and the fine of $lO for
resisting arrest was suspended owing
to the punishment he had received at
the policeman’s hands.
Mr. John J. Foster appeared as at
torney for a young white man charged
with disorderly conduct. A witness
testified that the defendant had stop
ped him with a pistol on Reynolds
street last night and said: "Where In
the hell are you going'."' When wit
ness answered "Home,” the other had
said: “I don't know whether you are
or net." The witness, when allowed
to proceed, found Officer Matthews at
the corner and had the defendant ar
rested. Mr. Foster contrived to rule
out the testimony of concealed weapon
and to have the fine of $25 for disor
derly conduct suspended on the ground
that the defendant was not drunk and
that there was no serious cursing. The
defendant was bound over to the city
I court under bond of $l5O, for pointing
a pistol at another.
Several hackmen were fined $2 and
costs for failing to appear and sub
mit their hacks for police inspection
on the first Tuesday In the month.
Finally a young white man, who ap
peared about $0 but whose {ace might

have been 50 years old, came up in
the last stages of alcoholic poisoning.
He could scarcely stand from weak
ness, and was In a pitiable and filthy
condition. He began to reel while
standing at the bar, complaining that
he was "awful sick" and begging for
mercy. He said that he had come
down from Saluda. Finally he sank
down on his knees. He mumbled
something about being sick and hav
ing to "squat down” for a minute. All
the spectators took this as a theatri
cal exhibition, rather badly doneg—
the old "praying gag.’’ It was a ridi
culous and unworthy spectacle. Offi
cer Hennles raised the man up say
ing, "Get up, son, get up. You’ll make
’em think you’re sick sure enough!”
Everybody smiled. Whereupon, lean
ing with his hands on the railing, the
man began to nod like a person sleep
ing In a chair, until ail of a sudden
he fell forward, striking hls head
against the Judge.'s desk and collapsed
to the floor. His forehead was badly
cut and hts face as gray as lead. Ha
was turned over to the doctor.
FOR LETTERS ARE NOW
USING COTTON CLOTH
Will or Will it Not Become a
Permanent Practice? Holley
Wagon Company Receives
Sample.
A business letter written on white
cotton cloth has been received by tha
Holley Wagon Company, of Augusta,
from the Sun Varnish Company, Lou
isville, Ky., and Is unique to say the
least. The letter is typewritten and
In the same form as any ordinary
business letter.
A doubt has been raised as to wheth- 1
er or not the Idea will prove practical'
for commercial use. The Idea is good,
no doubt, in the sense of cotton con
sumption. which Is being preached
over the coutnry now. hut as to wheth
er the cotton cloth letters comes into
! every-day use, remains to be seem.
