Fancy Chan ticleer never being given to chance the crow. The untimely death of Coquolln stopped Its production las t year. Now it Is in the hands of our greatest mod ern netor. Guitry Ho helped to make the crowning of Rostand’s rooster heard to the furthermost ends of the earth, whereby making the Academ ician Rostand as famous as lauuux- Une or Victor Hugo. But fate seems to be against It. It has leaked out that the rooster Is hoarse. Worse, the critics say, the play is dul Horrors! And a little bird has whispered to me that the Interpreters are not competent. Should Guitry himself not please Rostand In his Interpretation of the "cook, tho author Is likely to with draw his play He will certainly have to go far before he finds another CoqueJtn or for that matter another Bernhard t. And so the production of "Chanti cleer” hangs lu the balance. Late Bishop Goodsell Danlol Ayers Goodsell, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, who died In his New York residence from diabetes. For twenty-two years, up to two weeks before his death, he had never missed an engagement from ill ness. The bishop was known for the liberality of Ills views. VETERANS TO MEET IN MOBILE APRIL 2G Formal Order Fixing Date of 1910 Confederate Re union Issued Saturday Night. new ORLEANS, La.—The formal order fixing the date of the 1910 re union of the Confederate veterans for April 26th and the place, Mobile, was issued Saturday night by General Evans and published by iiis Adjutant General Mickle. It says: Headquarters United Confederate Vet erans, New Orleans, Lu., Ilec. 11. .. General Orders No. 22. One. The general commanding an nounces that, according to the cus tom heretofore In force, which haves the general commanding and the de partment commanders the fixing of the date of the reunion; the twen tieth annual reunion of the United Confederate veterans will be held In the cll y of Mobile, Ala., on April 26, 27 and 28, 1910 —Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, those days having been named by our host as sat isfactory. for sentimental and practical rea sons Mobile possesses peculiar claims as a reunion elty. Her geographical position in the center of our terri tory, her beautiful bay, her delightful and Invigorating climate, the charm ing weather which usually prevails at the time of the year when the reunion Is to he held, her numerous palatini hotels, restaurants and private hoard ing houses are arguments for the practical side; while the many events In her history connected with the war around which the hearts of tho old soldiers ever linger with Jtmdness, represent the sentimental view. Within the borders of the state of Alabama was horn “the storm-cradled nation that fell," and In the adja cent city of Montgomery Is te be found the first home of its only presi dent. On the beautiful Buy of Mobile the greatest naval battle of the war took place; for mony weary months a handful of men and boys, under the command of Gen D. 11. Maury, num bering about 9,000, held in check and delayed the advance of Gen. Oanby’s 4 5,000 trained soldiers; at her very doors, almost within the county, was fought the last great battle of tne conflict; in the north end of the coun ty, in tl*o village of Citronelle, the last army of the <\ S. A. west of the Mississippi, was surrendered and the curtain fell on the great drama; In Mobile was constructed, by a Mobile man, the first and only submarine boat that performed the duty required of it; here rest the ashes of Gen. Bragg. Gen. Gladden, Father Ryan, and the great naval commander, Rap hael Semmes. These are some of the historic events which will add to tho pleas ure of the okl soldiers who will come to the reunion. Then the men of Mo bile, second to none in patriotic fervor, promise to give their best efforts to promote the enjoyment of those whom it will be a delight to entertain; while the ladies of the city, famed all over the world for their great hospitality and wondrous beauty and loveliness, havo determined that no reunion ever held or to be held shall compare to this in the magnitude or duration of the enjoyment that will be given to tho heroes of the sixties who will come to partake of their hospitality. With such plans laid, tho veterans are likely to have a n\a»t enjoyable time, and the general commanding earnestly urges all to come who can possibly do so, to take part in these three days of festivity. Second. The general commanding announces with much pleasure, at the request of its most energetic presi dent. Mrs. M. J. Behan, that the Con federate Southern Memorial associa tion will hold its meeting at the same time. Third. The general commanding sincerely hopes that the press of the entire country will endeavor to stir up interest in the coming meeting, and to this end he requests that this order be published, and editorial com ment made thereon.

Water Works A full head has been maintained during the month and the water delivered sat isfactorily. Owing to continued low water in the river the turbidity has been low during the month, which has made the work on pumps and filters lighter, the pumping station making the best record since its Installation, running only 48 1-2 per cent of the time. All the buildings of the new station have been completed, including the new oil house. The large tap was success fully made. This was done In a manner which was very creditable to our verv efficient city plumber.

BURRELL TODAY Uniform Rank and Militia Will Attend Funeral From Residence at 3:30 TLis Afternoon. The funeral services of the late Louis Burdell will be conducted from his former residence No. 929 Greene street at 3:30 p. m. this afternoon. Mr. Burdell was a prominent mem ber of the Knights of Pythias and was also active in military circles, and his active pallbearers will be chosen from members of the organizations of which he was a member. The Rich mond Light Infantry and Company No. 6 of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias will attend the services in a body. During his life Mr. Burdell took a great interest in the firemen of the city, and had every member of the fire department as his friend. One of his pallbearers will be Assistant Chief Geo. C. Schaufele, who in con versation with a reported yesterday spoke of the young man in the highest terms. The pallbearers include: Active— Sergt. W. Boyd Rivers, Sergt. Leon J. Smith, Sergt. H. D.

Cal houn. 4 Only 8 more days to pay State and County Taxes. one’s heartstrings which knows no discord Like all of his plays, “Metz in Ire land” is a musical play. It tells of the wanderings of a German, who disappears from his castle in his fath erland and conveys the impression that he is dead, thereby forcing the decision from the executors of an estate which has been left to him in Ireland, that if he does not appear by a specified time his right to the es tate will be forfeited. But Metz wan ders to the land of the shamrock and there finds a four-leaf clover, for by a cunning device he steps into his own without stumbling. The comic and musical strands are cleverly woven into a play which, with its village revels, native dances, fairy lore, rollicking and catchy cho luses, quaintness of costuming, and consistent brogue, highly satisfied the audience. Mr. Wilson possesses a voice whose metallic ring is as lasting as it is sweet. He was at his best last even ing. and he wound his voice around one’s heart like the “Winding of the Yarn.” Other songs of rythmic mel ody were: “Erin’s Isle,’’ “Love McCreary *s Buy a Man’s and Boy’s Christmas Gifts at his favorite store—which means “McCreary’s.” Really yon owe it to yourself to come and look over our stock before going elsewhere —for honestly —the best for the money can always be had at “McCreary’s.” Let Us Make You a Few Suggestions: Men’s Suits.

Thoughts,” “Wilson’s Lullaby,’’ and the ‘‘Fairest Flow-er of All.” The cast was efficient and contain ed remarkably strong voices. But standing out in distinct outline was the work of little Miss Olive Wright. It can be said with assurance that much of the weight of the p’jlty rests upon her shoulders, but her dramatic ability is strong enough to bear the weight. Although just a slip of a child, she has already begun the journey that leads to fame. The electrical technique was effec tive and together with th e quaint scenery added a decided charm. The comedian’s curtain speech at the fall of the curtain on the second act was on of the spiciest epigrams of the evening, and when Mr. Wilson visits Augusta again “The Three of Us” will be among “the many of us” to meet him. “B.
