TWO INDIVIDUAL PARADOxEs.
A Few Points About a Writer of Play

A Few Points About Writer OF Plays
New YORK, April 22-I had
pleasant talk with Bronson Howard
the other evening at the Lotos
Club. His Henrietta" easily placed him
at the head Of the profession Of dramatic
authorship in this country. Oddly enough,
he rarely ever goes to the theatre, prefer
ring to spend his time at home in the delight
full company of his wife. Howard now
has comfortable fortune and lives in ele-
CANT style. He is a typical literary man,
easy going, suave, contemplative. His
eyeglasses, studious features and negltge
attire at once suggests the student worker
that he is He takes his life very
easily, never fretting himself at his work,
and contented TO let the cares of the day
fold up their tents and depart without
giving him any trouble. He tells me that
his plan in working is first to map out the
scenes, which grow apace with the story
he has selected, the action following the
various situations naturally. Having
completed these details, after some rev.
erie and smoking, he devotes himself to
the composition of the dialogue. He be-
lleves in inspiration, and cannot force him
self to work, and says that il he does the
effort is always unsatisfactory and doomed
to destruction. IL Is doubtful if any au-
thor follows a system so close as docs How
ard, although every author Of note tries 10
convince himself that he is working in ac-
cordance with n profound plan. Several
years ego Howard married sister'o Mr..
Charles Wyndham, the popular comedian.
lie has house in London and fiat in this
city, and divides his time between the two.
While talking with Howard powerfully
built man with AN iron-gray beard and
large features entered the room and took a
seat near us. 1t was Col. Thomas
w. Knox, who writes SO successfully
for aboys, and whom one would sup
pose to be family man and father of
numerous brood Of children. He really has
no home except his club. He occupies two
rooms ia the dormitory of the Lotos Club,
which are adorned with souvenirs from all
parts Of the world, and have the appearance
of museum. There are no little ones 20
crawl upon his knees and interrupt his
worK, and no housewife 20 insist on puuctu-
ality at meals. because he Is not only n
bachelor, but he has taken refuge in place
where women and children are not admitted.
Col. Knox was one Of the original war cor
respondents and wrote a book about his ex-
periences in the Southwest In book Of
"Boy Travellers" he has taken his boys all
over the world. CHANDos FULTON.

TATES BIG STEAL.
Evidence That He Had Been Doine
Wrong for Many Years.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 22.-The amount
of ex-Treasurer Tate's defalcation, with all
the credits made, is now placed at $15O,O00.
1t is learned that just before leaving, Tate
sent negro porter to the bank for a
large sum, saying he wanted it
TO pay school claim. AS no school
claims were due, this is made evidence
that he took with him SIS, 900 to $780,
900. The commissioners found that the de-
talcation runs back many years, and one of
the Il. o. U. S" is dated 1868, the year Tate
came into Office. In settling from year to
year Tate balanced his books for Dec. 81,
and presented his bank balances for the
end of the first week in January
In settlements twelve years ago,
what appear to be forgeries have
been found. Forgery is extraditable and it
is on account of this that Tate is believed
to be hiding SO closely. The 81 O US"
amount to $4,000. The bondsmen hope to
get off without paying. Several have
their property in their wives names.

AMONG THE ATHENIANS.
Route of the New Railroad-A Street
Cars Flying Trip.

ATHENS, GA, April 22-The proposed
route for the Covington and Macon Rail
road through Oconee cemetery has been
considerably discussed lately by Athenians
with great opposition. The local papers
have pictured the road as passing directly
through the city of the dead, thereby caus-
ing many graves to be moved and also de-
tracing from the appearance of the ceme-
terry. Such, however, will not be the case.
Yesterday afternoon the trustees of the
cemetery, accompanied by Maj. Hodgson
and City Engineer Moss, investigated tho
proposed route and found that the
line only passed through the OK
treme western end of the grave
yard, some distance from any graves
No fault can be found with this line, and 1t
stood by the citize all objections will be
withdrawn. The Covington and Macon is
rapidly nearing completion, and the hands
are working within two miles of the city
Four contractors are at work on the line
between Athens aud the river, and cars will
be running between this city and Macon by
August.
SAM JONES EXPECTED.
A revival is being carried on with great
SUCCESS at the Second Methodist church in
this city, and il is reported this evening
that Sam Jones will be prevailed on TO pay
Athens visit and participate in this work.
Several parties aIe corresponding with Mr..
Jones on the subject, and it is believed that
he VIII come.
Some mischievous parties tampered with
the brakes of n street car last night, which
was stationed at the corner of Clayton and
College avenue, waiting to carry persons
from Cobbham home after the theatre.
The driver did not notice the trick until he
had started down the hill on Hancock ave-
nue and went TO apply his brakes, and found
that they would not work. He quickly un-
coupled his mules and turned them aside,
and the car, with about thirty persons on
board, went flying down the hill, aud around
several sharp curves. The passengers were
considerably alarmed, but fortunately the
car stuck to the track, thus preventing
very serious accident.
