Author His Fulfilled Promise" etc

She came to the farm house bringing
with her the baubles of the green
room and an atmosphere of that other
life that lay beyond the fields and
meadows. Lem Hartwell saw her and
he felt all his bigness and awkward
ness as his eyes dwelt on her slight
ngure; her hair shone like ripening
wheat in the sun, and her face-ah,
the roses in his mothers garden, he
thought, the roses with their Haunting
pink, were no fairer. That is the way
she appeared to him. Another, meet
Ing her as he did, might have seen
only frail, slender woman, with thin,
bleached hair and tired look in her
eyes. She wore limp, trailing skirts
and wide, dropping hat and lot of
little silver bangles and things that
tangled at her belt and on her wrist.
Her ignorance of Countrywide was
apparent; and Lem watched her, revel-
ing like a child in the clover bios
SONS. In short, he began to love her
and to listen for the tap-tap of her
high-heeled shoes on the floor of the
room above his own.
To him, it seemed a great thing to
be an actress and a writer-greater
perhaps than being a fine lady-and
yet she was all three in one; he saw
In her the ideal of his dreams; he
loved the dragging ruffles on her
skirts, her fluffy shining hair, her
girlish little mannerisms, her wisdom
of the world; he weighed not he
cared not-he only knew he loved her
but lie felt that to hope for her was
like child crying for the moon.
One night when she first came, and
they were sitting on the low porch
with the warm. wine-smell of ripening
grapes filling the moon-lit night, she
spoke of her life in the city, and how

with its tawdry shams, where the
edges were raw-cut and raveled and
where. everything was pretense and
tinsel. He wanted then to tell her

4e cruel men who shift the scenes.
Does mercy play no part
In your hard lives, have We no means
OF grace, no soul, no heart?

And laugh at shameful wrongs;
Knee deep IN blood your ways We 90
And whistle rag-time songs
Beneath The dread oppressors feet
The leading man doth lie.
And yainly for his life entreat
While you stand idly by.
Should YOU but rush upon the stage
And boldly intervene,
The knave would below forth his RAG,
And vanish from the scene.

Is in the villains power,
But do YOU come 10 set her free
In this most trying hour?

FUNERAL OF JOHN NJ. BAKER.
WeH-Known Young Man Committed

WeI-known Young Man Committed
to Earth in Laurel Grove.
The funeral of Mr.. John M. Baker
took place at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon from the residence of his mother,
No. 612 Drayton street. Mr.. Baker died
Wednesday night, after having been i'll
only few hours. He seemed on the
morning of the day of his death to be
enjoying his usual good health and
spent some time on the streets, watch
ing the parade in honor of the opening
day of the fair. He had been for num-
Der of years a member of the Savannah
Volunteer Guards Battalion and re-
tanned always a close interest in the
command.
After the parade. Mr.. Baker returned
to his home and retired to his room.
He complained then of being tribe
ill and became rapidly worse. Despite
every effort that could be made to
save his life, he died in few hours.

THE DECREE MEANS NOTHING.
So Says Prominent Lawyer of the
Decision of Jugde Pardee.

w C1ssOC
1t. appears that the amended decree
in the case of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company against the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, will not have the decisive eff
feet intended in the first instance. The
amended decree was obtained upon the
instigation of the plaintiff, on the in
ervention of Robert M. Farrar and
others. A prominent lawyer, connect
ed with the case of the defendants,
made the following statement yester-
day: r.
1.-The addition to the decree previous
ly passed of the words, without preju-
dice to the intervenors' right to pro-
coed in court of competent iurisdic-
ton against the Southwestern, Railroad
Company on any of the demands con-
tanned in said intervention do not i'm
pair the force of the decree in any
way. The intervenors would have had
this right without the addition of these
words. They add nothing to it and
take nothing from 1t.
Judge Pardee thought that the
United States Court was without juris-
diction, and this, of itself was a suffi-
cient reason to dismiss the case from
that court, but. as other questions had
been fully argued. he proceeds to state
his views as to those questions. In
his opinion he gives four reasons why
the case attempted to be made by Far
rar ct al. was not only stale but
without equity and any one of these
four would be fatal to recovery. In
other words. a judge of any court
ageeing with Judge Pardee in any one
of his four conclusions would dismiss
the case on the merits"

A oNE-LEGGED GRAFT.
How a Cripple Excites sympathy
and Takes in the Coin.

and Takes in the Coin. -.
One of the best schemes for living
without working, among the many
which are now being exhibited in the
city and at the Fair grounds by the
grating fraternity, is that of one
legged man who wears a wooden leg in
place of the missing member and gets
about nimbly with a crutch. His spe-
cial field of work is the Plant System
trains which run to and from the city,
and he seems quite a. privileged char
acter there. When a train leaves the
station for the grounds the single leg
ged worker passes quickly through the
cars, leaving with each passenger a
printed card containing a poem de-
scriptive of the accident in which he
lost his leg. Printed at the bottom of
the card is the statement that he is
collecting funds to purchase an artiti-
cial limb with a request for help.
The cripple is a strong, hearty look
ing fellow with an intelligent face and
evidently as capable of working for a
living as the average man. His poetic
appeal, however, and his polite bust
nesslike manner almost invariably win
him sympathy and his collections are
usually satisfactory. On the special
train which carried out the members
of the Legislature Wednesday he was
particularly successful. many of the
visiting statesmen giving up coin of
varying denominations from nickel to
a quarter according to the mood of
the giver. The cripple must have
taken III several dollars on this train
and if he has been as successful on
ether trips he ought to be able to pur-
chase his artificial limb by this time.

AT THE THEATER.
Modjeska and James Will Close the
Weeks Plays.


Weeks Plays.
Tomorrow matinee and night Mad
anne Modjeska and Louis James will
be seen in THE Merchant of Venice"
and Henry VIII" The former will
be played at the matinee and the lat
ter at the night performance. The ap-
pearance of Modjeska and James is
an event of more than ordinary interest
to theater- goers. In the characters of
Portia and Shylock both players will
have equal opportunity. Few, if any
of the other artists on the English
speaking stage are as. we'll equipped
for these historic roles, either in tenn
permanent or genius. The part of Por-
tia demands for it's portrayal, nature
both imperial and tender, refinement
and penetration, with which qualities
Modjeska is endowed in a much more
greater degree than probably any other
actress of her time. Shylock, as inn
personated by Mr.. James, is one of the
best things that he has. done for years
At the night performance theater-go-
ers will have an opportunity of seeing
Modjeska and James, and the full
strength of the greatest legitimate
organization travelling, in Henry
VIII" Not long ago Henry VIII had
frequent representation and was one
of the most popular of the classic
plays, but is now somewhat of a novel
ty to the younger generation. Man
ayers Wagenhals and Kemper who
have staged the play have been ac-
corded enthusiastic praise, general
comment placing this their latest effort
entirely on a par with the best achieve
ments in stagecraft of either Mr..
Henry Irving or Mr.. Mansfield.
Next Wednesday matinee and night
THE Gay Mr. Goldstein" will be pre-
scented by Henry Greenwall, introduce
ing his three stars. The Gay Mr..
Goldstein" is a comedy portraying the
humorous side. of the Hebrew charac-
ter, but not of the exaggerated type
that the public has been surfeited with
of late in farce and vaudeville. The
author has built a stage offering that
is not only novel in character, but has
also all the requirements essential to
the success of this class of entertain
ment. 1t is bright in dialogue, humor-
Gus in situations and surprising in cli-
makes wherein are drawn a number
of Characterization distinctly oppo-
site to each other and permitting of all
of the possibilities that can be used in
refined atmosphere.
Manager Greenwalls efforts to give
playgoers an. entertainment of merit
interpreted by three such stars as Mary
Hampton, Thomas ]. Keogh and
George C. Boniface, Jr.. all of whom
are too we'll known to speak of their
accomplishments, anG surrounding
them by such artistic players for their
support as Barry Maxwell. Francis NJ.
Ball, S. ]. Broughton, Alma Powell,
Frances Brooke, Claire Armstrong and
others of note, will hardly fail to be
appreciated. The scenic equipment is
of the most beautiful kind and the
slightest detail has been carefully cared
for in order to give a complete pro-
duction. ... ...
