ATLANTA. GA. Aug. 2.-The Georgia
| state Convention assembled to-day at
noon. electing Hon. a. :. Clay chairman,
and after the appointment Of committees
and effecting fun organization adjourned
until 4 o'clock
The afternoon session was devoted 10
the nomination of the state ticket, which
was completed rs follows:
Governor, w y. Atkinson; Secretary OF
state a. s. Gambler; Comptroller, Cen
W. A. Wright; Treasurer, r. U. Hardee-
man; Attomcy-GeneTal, j. NJ Terrell;
Commissioner of Agriculture, Il. 7. Nes-
There was no opposition to ary Of these
officers. except that to Secretary OF
State Gambler, who was re-nOminated.
The platform committee, appointed be-
fore the recess, was out all day the
convention being forced at 6 O'Clock to
take an adjournment until $50 tonight.
The contest Is over the currency de-
claratiOn of the platform, one element
urging unqualified endorsatiOn Of the Ad-
ministra,ion and the making Of no de-
claration on the currency question other
than a repetition Of the words OF the
Chicago platform. The other element in
ssts that the currency plank OF the
national platform shall be given some de-
finite construction In an expression con-
cerning silver coinage. ON this, point the
committee was out all day.
After a mOmentary threat Of a stormy
scene, which was passed safely by the
prompt action OF the convention, It ad-
journed at l0.30 tonight The threat
arose over a motion OF Mr.. Dessdu, Of
Bibb, to substitute the qualified endorse
ment OF the Administration reported by
the platform committee with a resolution
of unqualified endorsement. A stormy dis
cussiOn was averted by the previous ques-
tion, which put the platform reported by
the committee before the House, and
which cut off the substitute The plat
form as reported was then overwhelming
ly adopted, after which the convention
adjourned.

to be irresistibly funny. And this brings
up a fact that Is not generally known.
1t is called the Joe Miller Joke Book, but
Joe Miller had nothing to do with 1t, and
was not even aware that such book
existed, as 1t was not published until a
year after his death.
Miller was popular comedian who made
his appearance at Drury Lane Theater,
London, in November 1909. The jest book
which bears his name was the work OF
John Motley, who was obliged to
write for living. The book Is about
the only thing that survives
him. The work is compilation
OF Jokes and bon mots of the time, some OF
which Joe Miller has undoubtedly used III
his characters, but none OF which were
probably originated by him. Comedian
Seabrooke will be seen at the Providence
Opera House the first three evenings and
Wednesday matinee next week.
Southern as Sheridan.
Next Thursday evening Mr.. Il. H..
Sothern will begin his seventh annual
visit to this city at the Providence Opera
House, presenting his new play, "Sheri-
dan, or the Maid of Bath" In this play
Mr.. Sothern is made to appear rs Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the famous author OF
"The Rivals" "The School for Scandal" /"
and other come lies. All the scenes and
many Of. the lines which fall
TO the part of Sheridan are taken from
the published lives Of that celebrated
writer. BY this means there is an air OF
truthfulness throughout the play which
makes it seem rather picture of actual
scenes than fictitious representation.
All OF the characters are without excep-
tion historical, and the author has thus
been able 10 give 1t great deal of local
color. While Mr.. Paul NJ. Potter,
the author, has taken considerable license
regarding the order of events, he has chosen
only those happenings which are known to
be true. He has arranged them so as to
make them dramatic in sequence. David
Garrick is introduced into the
play as an old beau. This production
will be found to be one OF the most elabo-
rate which Mr.. Sothern has ever presented
and as to scenery, stage appointments and
costumes will be absolutely correct as to
period. The engagement Is for three
nights and Saturday matinees.
Sol Smith Russell.
Sol Smith Russell, who has not been seen
In Providence in many years,will be well

In "a Poor Relation" he is Noah Vale,
a tender hearted, poor man. His heart is
as big as all out doors, and the homeless

manufacturer witha villainous partner, to
sell an invention that will cna Bile six men to
do the work of a thousand. The theft Of
Wales plans by the villain follows and
starts the plot that tosses Noah on sea
OF trouble. This is said TO be one Of the
finest scenes ever witnessed in modern
play. The struggle of Vale's pride with
his hunger is very delicately expressed,
and there is a pathos, just hint OF IL, in
his acting that heightens the quality OF
its charm. This is rather increased than
merely sustained In the subsequent acts.
"April Weather." a comedy i'm three

play selected is entitled "The Boy Tramp"
1t has been especially prepared
for Lothrop's Stock Company,
and new scenery and realistic
properties will make IL doubly attractive.
The cast includes Frank ID. Melville, who
will play "Jack Sharpe, the Boy Tramp"
and play il better than anything he has ever
undertaken. Miss st. John, the vivacious
sjubrct, who has done excellent work
thus far, will play rollicking, mischiev-
Gus Sally, and keep things lively. She will
be seen in a new dance, with a costume
made especially for IL. The interesting
part of Mildred Earlstrom, will be
played by Miss Hattie Morris and
1t is one of the strongest characters OF the
play. All the favorites will have good
parts and "The Boy Tramp" will enter
tain patrons all the week and st. Patrick 8
Day.

BosroN. March 10-Constable Chap
man yesterday evicted the Goletz family,
consisting of father, mother, aud five chill
dren under l2 years Of age, from their
tenement. 20 Mayo street. and their furni-
ture was set out in the street. The
building is owned by Grin Sherman. Mr..
Goletz was dragged down the stairs by
one man pulling him by the head and two
others dragging at his arms, and in the
unequal struggle his face was cut and
bled profusely.
Mrs Goletz was dangerously ill., and had
been ordered by a physician to the hos
pital, prior to the advent Of the evicting
party. The constable and his assistants
were going TO take Mrs. Goletz out into
the street, but the other tenants inter
fered and placed her on q lounge on the
landing, where she remained a number oil
hours In excruciating agony.
The father Is a tailor, and worked in
dustriously at his trade until there was
nothing TO do. and he has been given a
day or two each week by the city relief
committee. The small amount thus
earned went to supply the little ones with
food, and he ran behind in his rent.

nephew OF the judge to
a planter gambler who has inveigled
the young man into his clutches. The
Judge dies and the happy Southern home
is broken up. The slaves of the plantation,
including the heroine, Lisa, fall into the
hands of the villain planter, in order to
satisfy the mortgage. Lisa escapes from
the brutality OF the supposed owner, and
she and her lover attempt to escape on the
Mississippi steamer. An explosion occurs
followed by wreck and fire, in which the
lovers escape, float down the river on
burning spar during rain storm OF real
water, and find haven on the shores OF
an island. They are again captured by
the villain who seeks TO further wrong
them, but whose career is cut short by a
bullet from the sheriff while attempting
to escape. Lisa discovers herself to be a
free born white woman, free to come and
go. at liberty to love and be loved, untram-
meled by any of the perils or dangers OF
doubtful pedigree. A play like this of
Southern character is prolific in oppor-
tunities for the scenic artist to use his
brush, and it has been taken advantage Of.
