AMUSEM ENTS,
"Old Lavender"

Augusta theatre-goers saw Edward
.. Harrigan In odd Lavender" at the on
era house, last evening. The plav is
not new one. nor is it far above the
ordinary In plot or detail. but there Is
mat about the man who appears in the
lite role which at once wins the adj
miration and sympathy of an audience.
and holds it fast. 1t is doubtful if the
character of the confirmed drunkard
was ever more faithfully simulated than
1t is by Mr.. Harrigan, in the character
OF Old Lavender" And yet there is
not the least suggestion of ANYTHING
low or vulgar throughout his work.
From the position of a trusted oftici i
in his brothers banking room down
through the thorny paths of poverty to
,lie NE or q Vagabond along the city
COCKS, he is always the same. meeting.
adversely with smile, and taking life
as IL comes debonairely, and having Al
ways at his command saving grace of
humor, though it wells at times an
aching heart. He does not overdo the
sentiment, nor for a moment step out
OF the character nor disturb the balance
OF It's parts. In the shutting gait and
the general air of the confirmed inebri-
ate he is the ideal of the character h.
lnlpeisonateS. Ana in his songs. too. he
Is particularly pleasing, singing them
with 4 richness of tone that is thor
ouShiy enjoyed. Mr.. Harrigan was
practically the whole show, ALTHOUGH
ms support was good and was we'll re-
ceivcd by the audience.

one of the local carpenters is surely

~ in an emergency. and demonstrated
the fact, one day last week. He is Il
young man. and in company with
others of his calling, was doing some
work at one of the cottages at Cob
bosseecontce. They We're building a
fioating wharf, the story goes, and
were doing the work on the ice. There
was a hole in the ice near by where the
men were at work, and us the ice was
slippery, us it is apt to be, the young
man made a misstep, and went into the
water. That was natural result
which would follow. provided he We're
on the edge OF the hole, but the story
which comes in from the lake was II at,
when he found himself falling, he in
stantly thought that if he fell into the
water, he would get wet all over,
whereas if he could change the fall to
jump, he might save. n part of him
self from getting wet. Accordingly, by
Supcrhuman effort. he changed his
position so hat he, landed in the water
feet first. The water was not deep, so
that when he found bottom he was only
wet to the waist. Of course, the young
man WAS thoroughly wet where he was
wet. and suffered some discomfort as
be hurried back to town with as much
CELEBRITY as his means Of transportation
would allow, but the distinction he wol
as rapid thinker viii far more than
offset the inconvepiences which fol
lowed his demonstration.
