An Emotional Actress
Realistic Stage Scene a. an Atlanta Matinee.
EXPERIENCE.

Atlanta, Ga, October 13.-Miss
Lillian Spencer, who has been play.
ng the Creole, otherwise known
as Article T." is at present filling
an engagement in this city. This
afternoon u matinee was given at
the opera house, which was at.
tended by a large audience. Miss
Spencer was playing the role of
"Cora." When the end Of the
third act was reached, aud in the
mad scene, when "Duhamel"threat-
ems to put her in the madhouse.
Miss Speucer was evidently work
ed up to the full feryor of the
scene. "'George,'" she said while
the audience was at the full heat
of excitement, "you have dishgur.
ed my face you have blighted my
life; you have ruined me-" Here
she grasped him frantically. "You
have mocked my sufferings. By
right of suffering you belong to
me, for you have made me what |
am" She stood trembling with
emotion, while the audience sat
spell-bound. She reeled and fell
behind the third entrance, and as
she fell she was caught in the
arms of Mr.. Frank Irving, Stage
manager, who tried to soothe her,
but she threw him violently aside,
exclaiming, ale has ruined me.
He has made me what / am" Be-
tween the play and the reality the
audience was at loss to judge,
but Judging from the manner in
which she fought on the stage and
defed strong men to touch her,
soon showed that she was suffer
ing from mental alteration. After
awhile she was led away and ta'
ken to the Markham House, where
DIR. Gray was summoned to treat
her. She is of highly nervous
organization.

Keifer and His "Nevvy."

Ex.speaker Keifor remarked recently, when
asked about the appointment OF his nephew,
Ben. Gaines, to the stenographers position,
"He is poor and has to support poor old
mother, and was getting only $1,000. The
fact is that although Gaines is my nephew, he
is thoroughly competent, aud II has been un-
derstood all the while that he was to have one
Of the places. He was getting only $1,000
year, and these are $4,000 places" This is
very neat dodge on the part of Mr.. Keifer to
arouse sympathy for his nephew on the ground
OF poverty, but the facts In the case do not
warrant the ex-Speaker's assertion. Mr..
$1,000 as clerk to J the Speaker, Is Is
the correspondent of tho st: Paul Pioneer
Press, and It is to be presumed receives a fair
compensation as the representative OF that
reputable journal. During, most of the first
session of the Forty.soventh Congress he was
attached to the stan OF the Chicago Times,
which also paid him handsomely for his
labors. As to his being In actual want, and the
"poor old mother" clause, ! merely state
what is commonly reported in Washington,
that Mr.. Gaines Is thought to be worth fully
$4,000, and q gentleman of good standing
here assures me that much OF 1t has been ac-
cumulated, as Noses in the "schooi for
Scandal" would say, "from the book
what 10 per cent. month means
Will have no difficulty in solving this problem.
Mr.. Gaines himself says that his uncle ap.
pointed him for the sole reason that neither
cx.Speaker during the recess OF Congress- and
that he (GaiDes) is in position where he can
do all that Will be required. This puts new
aspect on the AFFAIR, and shows Mr.. Keifer up
In the light OF using his official position as
Speaker of the House to appoint man to bo
paid out OF the National Treasury solely for
the purpose OF doing his personal work. The
more Keifer's record is shown up the moro
the saying becomes true, "He went out of the
Speakers chair amid the contempt OF his
enemies and the jeers of his friends"

Brewster's Regara for His Paid
Pimps.

charlotte (Mich.) Republican.
Yon can hardly expect consistency from
drunken crank, but the conduct Of Attorney
General Brewster should not be absoivei from
criticism nevertheless. During tho former
Star.Ruute trial Brewster appointed n seal.
lawaC named Bowen aud another named
Hoover IA special agent OF tho Department
Of Justice. They were H. companions VI his
other two pets, Tidball and Cameron.
II has since been developed that
tho mission of those two men
the jury. Hoover and Tidbali performed their
work 50 satisfactorily to Brewster that the
former was made Associate Judge and the
latter Marshal OF Arizona. Well, now for the
eequel. Some weeks ago Bowen was Indicted
by the Washington Grand Jury for trying to
bribe iuryman, and Is now a fugitive
from Justice. The Associated Press dis,
patches day. or two ago announced
that "Judge" Hoover has been
charged with haccepting bribe 70 influence
his and nns been dors from
where tho consistency of this man Brewster
comes In. one Of his pets can get an investi-
CATION no matter what crimes he may be
guilty Of. When, however, his gang of plmps
and scoundrels put up Job on an onicer,
whose moral and oflcial integrity is
unaesailable and unquestiona1ble, upon
technical fault, he is clamorous for Immediate
removal without investigation or hearing OF
any kind. Now isn't this nice gang TO sim.
puen" the acts of others2 The only thing to
complete the picture is a sight Of Bliss, the
sbyeter lawyer, drawing Sirty thousand dollars,
fees and expenses, for conducting the trial.
Why, this Is more money than Bliss ever hon
estly earned In all his life. And this is the De-
partment Of Justice. Surely, what Is there
In u name. The press OF tho country has re-
NAMED silent about these things In order to
avoid tho appearance of throwing obstacles In
the way of bringing the Star.Route gang to
Justice. IL the Government has got to be
robbed, It might Just as vel! be done under
Brady as Brewster. 1t is simply the methods
Of a highwayman and q three card monte sharp
10 choose between.

A Relic of BarbarIsm.

Almost every week we are pained to see that
high class secular papers, which are abso-
lutely free from religious prejudice, keep up
the barbarous custom of using the appellation
"Jew" as an epithet, applying II to men whose
names are paraded before the public, as q
distinctive eplthet to convey an Idea which Is
clearly prejudicial. II corellgionlst is in
court under arrest or as a party to suit, no
designation OF religion or nationality Is made
in regard to any one else, but he is described
by HIS religion. II a Baptist or a Methodist
happens to be charged with an offense, no
mention is made of the denomination to
which he belongs-and, indeed, IL would be
thought extremely discourteous to do so; but
If he is a jew, the fact is at once made known
TO the world, though his ancestors may have
settled here in colonial days, and members OF
the family have shed their bio ID for their
country hundred years ago.
1t does not seem TO occur TO our contempo-
raries that this is a relic of barbarism, un-
worthy OF enlightened journalism, but this Is
nevertheless the case. Judaism Is q religion
quite as respectable and as worthy of respect
as any denomination OF religiontsts In the
land. 1t is not a nationality, for there is no
Jewish nation and no Judea. To use q mans
religion as an epithet is contrary to the toler-
ant provisions of the Constitution of the United
States, to enlightened journalism and to cour-
tesy. 1t is a legacy OF old-time prejudice
which ought TO be peremptorily banished
from the use by tongue or pen.
