She Makes an Emphatic Assertion
With Regard to Somebody's State
msnt.
After one of her performances, Miss
Lillian Lewis, who is playing Shakes
peare's Cleopatra" was told that some-
body had made the statement that the
play was an improper one for a lady to
see. She was very emphatic in the opin-
ion she expressed of the statement. She
is quoted as saying: Somebody asked
somebody, If it was proper to take lady
to see Cleopatra. Well, now, if that does
not cap the climax then am not acquain-
ted with what is what. This is not an ad-
Vertisement, this is pure, unalloyed indig
nation. 1 don't think l go beyond the alb
solute truth when l say that so grand a
production as Cleopatra has never been
seen-I mean so complete, so correct, so
lavish, so picturesque-and know l am
stating fact when l say that ! would
rather be struck in the face than have
such an indignity thrown at me. Now
who could ask such question, and why?
Most everybody here, in fact most every
body from Richmond to San Antonio,
knows me personally, by sight anyhow. l
have never brought anything but the best
of plays here. Now is there anyone any
where in these United States who thinks
1 would associate myself with any pro-
duction lady could not witness? If such
there be, go mark him WE'LL etc. l sup
pose it's nothing but stupidity, and the
presumption that one can throw a slur
at a woman because she is an actress
But Notwithstanding this there are plenty
of actresses who are model good women
in fact so good women are they that they
can hear and see anything and retain their
goodness, for to the pure all things are
pure.
II myself don't want any women who
have doubts as to the proprety of their
seeing my production of Cleopatra to see
it. 1t certainly would do them harm to
see Shakespeare's grandest play put on
the stage in so gorgeous a manner 1t
certainly would do them harm to form an
acquaintance with the character and Gus
toms of Egypt and Egyptians. A little
sound Roman history would certainly be
of harm to them, and l know it would
harm them to see the living pictures. Did
any one ever see a lady in the Louvre in
Paris, or in the Corcoran Art Gallery in
Washington? Certainly not. How could
a lady look at the works of art of the
great masters without blushing? She
could not, and she could not look at the
series of living pictures in Cleopatra for
they are faithful reproductions of these
works of art"

A good many people in Savannah have
probably never seen the Columbian half
dollar. If they will go around to b. H.
Levy & Bro s clothing house on Congress
street they viii see any number of them.
Mr.. Levy ordered through the Chatham
Bank theother day 500 of the coinage
just ordered struck by the treasury, and
is using them as current change.
The coin was at a big premium during
the Worlds fair, and many people paid
81 and $3.50 for them at Chicago as souye-
niers, not expecting they would ever be
able to get them any cheaper Mr.. Levy
has a stack of the coin in his show win
dows. The first day he put it in circula-

half dollar of the regular coinage with
out endeavoring to explain to him the
new coin.

WOULD HAVE TO dom TROUSERS.
One Reason Why Miss Dortoh Can't Be
Private Secretary.


Albany, Ga, Oct pa well known at
torney of this city called the attention of
the Morning News correspondent to-day
to a section of the legislative acts of 1898
which seems to throw a wet blanket on
Miss Ellen Dortchs aspirations for the
position of private secretary TO Gov. At
kinson. The law in question will be
found on page 102 of the acts of 1898, and
provides that the governor may also ap-
point his private secretary as his military
secretary and commission him with the
rank of major. No one questions Miss
Dortchs ability to fill the responsible
place of private secretary to his excel
lency, Gov. Atkinson but every one will
doubt her ability to shoulder the arduous
requirements of a regularly commissioned d
aide-de-camp major and wear trousers,
epaulets and a cockade. The Morning &
News correspondent throws this informa-
tion out not only for the benefit of the
powers that be, but to save Miss Dortch
from the embarrassment of posing as a
warrior in trousers.
