SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28.
THE CIRCUS LAST NIGHT
A thousand or more August ana
w ere completely astounded at the re
markable tucresi Trom en entertaining
standpoint of the great Hlndpaw and
Jingling Brothers' Circus, which was
given by the members of the Augusta
Young Men's Christian Association «t
the Y. M. C. A Building last night.
The gymnasium, where the perfor
mances of the big show were given,
was literally overflowing with men,
women and children for both perfor
mances. Every reserved seat had
been sold and also standing room
several days before the clrous.
The ringmaster, Mr. J. H. Flythe,
who Is one of the most enthusiastic
members of the "young" men's ' gym''
class, was In ohnrge of the "doings"
In the ring. At the crack of his song
whip the performers, when their turn
came, would spring forth from the
dressing room. The Idea of the real
circus wa« carried out In perfect de
tail, and he result was the bestowing
of all sorts of compliments on those
who contributed their services.
In the opinion of many the most de
lightful number of the circus program
was the beautiful spectacular prya
mld work of Professor Boyland, the
Physical director, and his pupils. The
young men, clad in “gym" uniforms
of white athletic shirt and knee pants,
showed that they had received re
markable training to put on the exhi
bition they did last night. It gave to
a degree a fair Idea of what can be
done under present training in the
local Y. M. C. A.'s gymnasium.
An extraordinary feature was a
w-restllng match between man and
beast, the like of which has never
before, even In a real circus, been
demonstrated to the Augusta public.
A larg grizzlzy bear, five or six times
the size of a man, and Professor Car
doza, wild animal trainer for the
Smith’s Greater Shows, wintering in
Augusta, ngaged in a really thrilling
combat. The beast was muzzled and
Its keeper held a chain fastened to
the muzzle, but this had nothing to
do with the animal clawing his oppo
nent as the two would gra .pie for the
contest. TTpon finishing, Cardoza on
top, the man's shirt was in tatters
from the scratches of the bear's
claws.

Police on Charge of Burglar
izing a Quest's Room.
With the pass key to Ihe rooms of
the Albion Hotel on his person, a
young white man, who gives his name
as H. I. Ivey, was arrested last night
by the police charged with entering
rooun No. 411, occupied by Mr, J. W.
Shaw, a traveling man who registers
from Hlnghaim, Muss., and stealing In
cash something over fifty-four dollars.
When taken Into custody Ivey had
on his person, besides the pass key, it
gold watch and chain, which the police
say, Is stolen property. This case was
being Investigated today by the police
detectives and the managing director
of the hotel, Mr. 8. J. Newcomb.
It la understood that other cases may
develop against Ivey, as with the pass
key In his possession he was at liberty
to walk Into any room In the Albion he
pleased,

If S. C. Passes Vital
Statistics Measure Ga.
Will Be Only Absentee
Atlanta—Census Director W. J. llar
rla has called the attention of his fel
low Georgians to the fact that If South
Carolina passes a vital statistics
measure, which she Is contemplating,
then Georgia will have the unpleasant
distinction of being the only state In
the whole union lacking legal provis
ion for the keeping of such records.
Mr. Harris urges that a vital statis
tics measure be considered at the conn
ing session of the Georgia legislature.
All progress In sanitation, he points
out, is directly related to the birth,
health and mortality records. No bus
iness can be safely eonducted without
accurate book-keeping, and vital sta
tistics bear the saime relation to the
business of protecting health that
ledgers and cash books bear to the
banking business or other commercial
concorns.
Other leading Georgians take the
same view of the situation, and it Is
predicted as a practical certainty that
some kind of vital statistics bill will
be passed this summer.
Many states huve had such measures
for more than a quarter of a century.

WORKED WONDERS
SPITE OF UNBELIEF
“At First I Had No Faith,”
Savs Mother, “But Soon
There Was Such A
Chanqe.”
Ontario, Va.—Mrs. M. L,. Anderson,
of this town, gives out the following
Tor publication: “I went to Richmond
seeking relief, and tried almost every
thing In the medicine line, but noth
ing proved a cure until I tried Cardul,
the woman's tonic. I had Indigestion
very bud, and a complication of dl«-
eases.
Although, at flrat, I had no faith In
It, I bought a bottle of Cardul, but
soon, there was such a change. I was
certainly benefited. I felt so dif
ferent! Then I began to take the
medicine In earnest. Now, I can <lo
my work, and I eat and sleep like
a young person
Cardul also cured my daughter of
womanly troubles. I keep Cardul In
the house, all the time. It Is a great
blessing to all women who need It.”
Thousands of ladles have written
like Mrs. Anderson, telling of the
wonders worked by Cardul In the re
lief of various forms of weakness and
distress, after other remedies had
failel to help.
Isn’t It likely that you will be help
ed by Cardui, this remedy which has
been In constant successTul use for
more than half a century? Its record
of years of success, In relieving trou
bles such as your own, Is proof that
It will help you, too.

QUITS HIGH LIFE
FOR SIMPLE ONE
Young “Mr. Oliver” Had the
Best There Was, However,
For Seven Months.
Chicago —O. Franklin Oliver, a young
Chicagoan, returned to the simple life
today.
After he made public a statement
of how. by posing as Joseph D. Oliver,
Jr., of South Bend, heir to a large
fortune, he had been entertained for
seven months, had purchased a $15,000
yacht on hts personal note, had Joined
half a dozen exclusive clubs at which
he failed to pay dues and had sub
scribed freely to various charities.
The young man’s statement denied
he was related to the wealthy Olive*
family, y
Continued His Work.
While leading what ho termed the
"high life,” Oliver, who Is only 21
years old, said he had continued his
work as an electrical engineer at a
salary of SIOO a month. Oliver said
trouble began for him last August,
when he first saw the yacht Miinzn
nlta at St. Joseph. Mich. He learned
It was owned by Davis L. Frank of
Chicago.
“I went to Mr. Frank and asked him
If It wouldn’t be better to loan or
rent the boat at a nominal price rath
er than let It rot of disuse," said
Oliver.
"'Oh, you are the Mr. Oliver of South
Ben,’ Mr. Frank said.
“ 'Yes,' I replied, it was automatic—
that yes.
“Ho said all I had to do was to give
him my note for $15,000.”
Happened Rapidly,
Things happened rapidly to young
“Mr. Oliver” from that time on. Hs
was Invited to dinners, Joined Huh* on
Invitation, wns the guest of prominent
people. The young man said the up
keep of his yacht and the entertaining
he was required to do cost him all of
his modest salary and all of his sav
ings.
"I didn’t borrow much money,” said
the young man. "My whole Indebted
ness is about $300.”
AT THE GRAND
“STOP THIEF.” ANOTHER
COHAN AND HARRIS BUCCESS.
Carlyle Moors, the author of "Stop
Thief.” the (day being talked about by
all America, has, In presenting Ids dra
matic surprise, apparently shattered
all the traditions of the stage, and the
public seems to glory In his work. This,
In view of the fact that his farce has
been written In true dramatic, form In
to which he has woven many terse
melodramatic moments of the
most thrilling nature, and accom
plished all of this so skillfully that, the
result Is a source of keen enjoyment.
In "Htop Thief," Mr. Carlyle has
made his characters fit the lightning
like rapidity of the play's action. The
wealth of Incident comic, tragic, pa
thetic and melodramatic, Is scattered
through the three acts with lavish
prodigality.
One of the many charms of Mr.
Moore's work. He always does the Il
logical thing That Is to say, Just as
the audlenee has decided that a certain
course of action Is hound to follow, he
Ingeniously makes use of one wholly
different and much more effective. And
It Is all done so quickly and so plaus
ibly that the wonder Is how tt was all
brought about.

of the ordinary and aeoerded It a run

BUMPER PEACH
CHOP IS COMING
Georgia Expert Says That the
Trees Can Hardly Support
Expected Big Yield.
Macon, Ga. —Thai a bumper crop of
Georgia peaches will be gathered In
1914 if weather conditions In Ihe next
few weeks are favorable, Is granted by
peach growers and J. 11. Hatrd, super
intendent of the lisle orchard, stntes
that the peach men could well afford
to lose at least 50 per cent. Indica
tions now point to nearly an hundred
per cent crop.
Relative to the conditions and the
effect of the cold weather on the peach
buds, Mr. Halrd, In charge of the Hale
orchards, reports ns follows:
Actual Conditions.
“There seems to he a diversity of
opinions regarding (he effects of tho
present cold spell on peach buds, and
while conditions vary, even in this Im
mediate locality, the information given
below la based on conditions as I find
them on the Hale Georgia Orchard
Company's plant anil my own orchard.
"The Klberta and lliley are consid
erably more advanced than any of the
other varieties we have in fruiting, an,l
the only damage I can find on these
two varieties is so small ua to not af
fect the (Top output.
"Taking for granted there Is a 25
per cent Injury, the quality of buds Is
so great as to not affect the crop out
put, In fact, we could well afford to
lose at least 60 per rent and still have
more than the trees could properly
support.

ARREST EAST OF
BURGLAR CANC
With Round-Up of Thursday
Night, Police Think They’ve
Stopped Augusta Robberies.
The last of the gang of burglars was
caught last night Augustans can now
go to sleep with the door unlocked
Five nrrests were made Thursday
night and It Is believed liy the police
that they include Ihe very end of Ihe
list of burglars who have liecn mar
auding the town for so long. At the
time the Herald goes to press the
nainies of the negroes had not been
given out. The detective force is now
working on the cases against them.
They Include three chicken thieves who
many will he glad to learn, are In safe
keeping. The gentleman who bought
the chickens from them came down to
the barracks thlH morning and Iden
tified them.
Among the men caught was one Na
than Walker, who will he charged with
perpetrating certain robberies extend
ing over a long period. He Is tho al
leged accomplice of Town Allen, alias
"Yellow Rubber," tho negro who was
sent to Jail Thursday to await trial on
a similar charge.
Story of Capture.
The story of hla capture Is some
thing like this: Detective Horn with
a force went to the house of a woman
on Reynolds street where It was be
lieved Walker was. It was something
after one o’clock. The woman said
she had not seen him In four or five
days, but on being closely questioned,
confessed that he was at his mother's
house on Campbell street. The pollco
went thither, somewhere above Fen
wick street and aurorundeil the house.
When Detective Horn went In «he
found the old woman asleep, or pre
tending to he, and had some difficulty
In waking her up. A man’s clothes
were on a chair In the room, hut no
sign of the culprit himself. After a
careful search, a place was discovered
where the laths and plaster had been
torn from the ceiling and tho suspic
ions of the searchers were aroused.
The detootlves climbed up to the hole
and crawled Into the space between
celling and roof. It was a doublo tene
ment house and the space extended
over both aides. When he throw his
flashlight about the great place, lie
saw, In the furthermost corner, the oh*
Je< t ot hla visit. The negro was dress
ed only In under-clothes, and was
hare-footed. And last night was not a
particularly balmy night.
“All right, Nathan," said the detec
tive, "you had better come along
quietly."
Plunged Through Celling,
The man began walking toward him
one one of the Joists, as If he were tho
last man to resist, once he was really
caught. But suddenly, without warn
ing, he stepped with both feet off the
Joliist onto the laths and plosterand
went crashing through Into tho room
beneath, in the other side of the house.
He fell onto a bed full of negroes who
were asleep. They, thinking that the
Judgment of heaven had sudenly de
scended upon them, raised a Bedlam
the like of which has seldom been seen,
and In the general confusion, while
Detective Horn yelled to the police
putslde to guard all exits, Nathan
Wslker Juurjped from a second story
window Into the alley and disap
peared. He was later captured under a
house, however.
