the vacancy occasoned by the retirement of
Fanny Rice at the end of this season.
Stuart Robson denies in emphatic terms the
report OF his engagement to May Waldron
"This story has been started by some theatri-
cal scandal-monger," says Mr.. Robson. "My
wife has been dead only eight months. l am
old enough to be Miss Waldrons grandfather
do not care as far as myself am personally con-
cerned but do regret exceedingly these false
and malicious reports out of regard for my
daughters, as well as Miss Waldron's feelings"
The theatre-goers of Atlanta have had a
grievance for some time in the matter of ticket
speculation. When such stars as Florence and
Jefferson appeared it has been the custom to
sell the seats at auction. Florence and Jeffer-
son were not responsible for this state of af-
fairs, and during their engagement they turned
over handsome sum derived from the auction
sale to charitable institution in Atlanta. The
system in vogue became so obnoxious to
amusement patrons that the building of an
other theatre in that city was talked of. The
pressure brought to bear on the subject has at
last induced the City Council of Atlanta to pass
ulate in theatre tickets, and imposing a fine of
$500 for each breach of the ordinance. Good
for Atlanta. Washington needs similar law.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Jan. 19.-Capt John Nc
Gowan, U.S.N., aged eighty-six years, died last
night at 1071 Elizabeth avenue. He went to
sea in 1919 as mate to the ship Henry OF Phila-
delphia and was appointed lieutenant in the
revenue marine service by President Jackson
in 1881. He was transferred to the navy in
1871 and was lieutenant of the ship Forward, on
duty ut Vera Cruz and on the Rio Grande. He
participated in the attack on Alverado under
Commodore Conor, and other important en-
gagements In the Mexican war. He COM
manded the famous steamship Star of the
West, which was chartered to take soldiers to
the relief Of Fort Sumter. 1t had no arma-
ment from the bullets and was under no orders
to 60 under fire. As she entered Charleston
harbor January g. 1861, the shore battery of
the rebels opened fire.
Capt. MCGOWAN kept on and signaled for en-
couragement from Fort Sumter, but none was
given. To lie under the guards of Fort Moul-
trie and be sunk was suicidal and the Star of
the West was turned back to save the lives of
the crew, which act of Capt McGowan's the
government approved. The fact that open hos
tilities had not been declared was Gen. Ander-
sons reason for not returning the fire. Thus
Capt. McGowan received the first shots fired in
the rebellion. He was engaged in service
throughout the war; He retired in 1882, after
hfty-three years service.
