THE Stage Irishman."

1.-THE Stage Irishman" was the
subject of q discussion which Mr..
F. Norreys Connel opened before
the members of the Playgoers'
Club, last night, at the Hotel Cp-
Gil. Mrs. Meynell, who presided,
remarked that the stage Irishman
IN England was very much like
the stage Englishman in America.
On the stage in America the
Engllshman was quite unreal.
He was never supposed to see a
joke, sud Mrs. Meynell, amid
laughter. In England the stage
representation of the Irishman
was quite as unreal.
Mr.. Ccnnell, in a discursive
and entertalng paper, said that
he should define the stage Irish
man as the obscene pupp7t which
served in England to symbolic
the Irish character. 1t was The
representation of a type never
seen on land or sea-a character
more degrading to playwright,
player and pIaygoer than to the
country of his alleged extraction,
to which he was, in fact, q strang-
er. That representation was not
the Irishman Of literature, and
was quite an a%bsurdity. The
sooner a genuine representation of
the .lrlshman was presented the
better. Though he condemned
the late Mr.. Dion Boucicault's
stage conception of an freshman.
Mr.. Cornell highly commended
Mr.. Synge's characterization Of
the Irish peasantry in "In the
Shadow of the Glen," Of which he
read an extract.

state court. This sum he may
possibly recover suit in the
plaintiffs in the original suit IN
the state court who secured his
appointment on the imperative
insolvency proceeding. Tbs
may also be true of the balan
of his advances, and expenses a.
such receiver, for which priority .
here has been denied him.
These fees of counsel will be
fixed as follows, Black & Jackson
$3.50; Kennedy & Jay, $3.50; Hay
good, Cheney & Stewart, SlOO.
These sums have already been
paid on account and by this find
ing the account is closed.
The receiver and custodian,
J. E. Mercer, has already been
paid $1,000 on account. This, OF
course must be credited on the
amount of $2,418.5O for timber
actually furnished by him to his
trust allowed him by the referee
az above. V. S. Wooley has also
been paid $1,000 on account OF
his claim. 1t follows that the
balance of his claim of $3.50
with interest from June II, 1902,
at 8 per cent must be paid in full.
This, however, like payments
made or satisfied by the delivery
of property for or bought by
other secured creditors is sub
| iect to the ratab1e deduction to
be apportioned on the value each
received to pay the costs and ex-
penses of protecting collecting
and administering the property
pledged to secure their claims,
unless it should turn out that
there is in the general fund a
sufficient sum for that purpose.
The court has reason to be-
1ieve from information received
from the trustee that the latter
will probably receive a consider.
able sum from the settlement OF
certain litigation now pending.
1t may be therefore that it will
not be necessary to require the
creditors above mentioned to
contribute to the expenses of the
bankruptcy court.

HOT AIR AND CITY WATER.

The Enterprise has several times referred
to the classification of water consumers and the
enforcement of the rates. At the same time we
have felt that it would be mistake to complain
as long as the operation of the plant showed an
annual deficit.
Until recently there has been a very lax
system that put the honest consumer at great
disadvantage with the dead-beat. There has
been 70 Ineligible written record showing
where the water and electric current was being
consumed. This, we are glad to say, is being
corrected Systematically, and we are to have
an alphabetical list giving the name of the con-
sumer, his location by lot, square and block, and
the number of taps, lights, meters, etc.
But as an illustration of the discrimination
between taxpayers, the Enterprise has for
number of years been paying So. so for water and
So 100 or 81 90 per month for lights. At last we
succeeded in getting meters for both. Ac-
cording to the meter at the Enterprise office, the
actual consumption of water last month, at 1Oc
per 1000 gallons, amounted to lie, and the
sumption of lights little over $1OO. Not
withstandng this fact, printing Offices are listed
at from 800 to $1,000 while saloons and soda
founts have been paying $3.50, and less than
$1OO for fans that will consume more water be-
fore breakfast on the first day of the month than
printing office will use in thirty days.
Hot air is far more essential than water to a
newspaper Office as the most casual reader will
observe.

THE FAMOUS ADVERTISER
OPENS AT FITZGERALD.
Col. Frank Dillingham; has Come to Fitzgerald
With His Splendid Vaudeville Company
and is Giving Free Exhibitions.

Fitzgerald has been favored richly in the
past few months with prosperity and attractions
which have delighted the people and produced
happiness and contentment in many homes but
other and better things are promised for the
near future which would indicate that there is
to be an uninterrupted era of happiness for us
all.
Col. Frank A. Dillingham;, whose fame as an
advertiser and benefactor of the human race has
grown world wide, is visiting Fitzgerald for the
season, to introduce his wonderful remedies and
marvellous cures.
The Plant Juice Remedy Company believes
in the largest possible publicity for their bust
ness. They carry splendid outfit of vaudeville
performers and each evening give free per-
Torrance on the road. All of this involves an
enormous outlay of money, but so confident
are the promoters of this wonderful line of rem
edies that the people will give their support that
they have no hesitancy in coming to our city
with splendid line of attractions.
Col. Dillingham; performs some most won
derful cures. The remedies are known and
recognized the world over as being exactly as
represented, and the list of cures brought
about by their aid would fill vo1umps, if compil-
ed and published.
The show is free and the public is cordially
invited to turn out and enjoy evening of pleas
as we'll as profit. That it is good and worth
seeing is evidenced by the fact that large crowd
has been kept standing from o'clock until 10
O'clock in spite of the disagreeable cold always
expectant and eager for the next piece on the
program. Thomas Wright the banjo PLAYER.
and sweet singer is very popular with the peo-
pie Fred Regis, comedian and dancer is one of
the best in his line, and the celebrated ventrilo-
quist Henry Richardson is decidedly the best
ventriloquist that has ever visited this city And
last but not least is Ned the beautiful brindle
bull dog belonging to Mrs. Dillingham; who for
beauty, intelligence and pedigree cannot be
matched in this or any other state. Ned is only
ten months old and considering his youth is
quite remarkable dog, with very gentle and
winning DISPOSE ion. The entertainment will
continue with change of program every night
and Fitzgerald people will find an evening of
pleasure and enjoyment always provided free of
charge.

to apply the dog tax, and the hope is that the
price will be fixed at rate that will insure their
thinning out to decent stand.

Alison Lumber Co..
and the Receiver
Continued from First Page.

OODU1uu0Q IrOm ElFSl rage
First, as to what priority if
any shall be allowed to the vari-
Gus claimants"
The referee having heard the
parties, has made his report, ex-
ceptions thereto have been filed,
aud the matter is now for final
decision.
1t will be recalled that the spec
ial master disallowed the claim of
Mrs. Macarthur, Admx. In this
finding the referee concurred.
This claim is based upon the
facts following. Mrs. Macarthur
held title to certain timber. The
Alison Lumber Company had
notice of her claim. She had sold
the land and timber to Swift and
Grantham for $3.50 and had given
them a bond for title. Swift and
Grantham executed and delivered
to Mrs. Macarthur their promis-
sorry note for the purchase price,
secured by a mortgage on all the
logs and lumber cut from said
land, and gave to Mrs. Macarthur
an order on the Alison Lumber
Co. to pay her one hundred dol.
lars per thousand feet of 1um Der
manufactured from logs coming
from said land, to be credited on
said note. The logs from the
timber of Mrs. Macarthur was
furnished to the Alison Lumber
Co. by Swift and Grantham un-
der this agreement. This was
the status at the time the receiver
appointed by the state court took
charge of the lumber company's
mill. The facts were brought to
the attention of the state court
and the receiver was by that
court directed to segregate the
lumber cut from Mrs. McArth-
ur's timber and hold subject to
the order of the court to be made
upon her petition for payment.
Certain lum Der was pointed out
to the receiver as having been
produced from logs and timber
in question. 1t also appeared
that at the time Mercer was ap.
pointed receiver of the 1um Der
company that its mill was being
operated by one Frank Crapp,
who had agreed to pay the lum-
Der company $1,000 a month as
rental. The receiver continued
the arrangement with Crapp for
one month. Crapp cut up an dis.
posed of Mrs. McArthur's lum'
but omitted to pay the receiver
anything therefor. This was
done while the property was en-
tirely in the control of the state
court and three months before
bankruptcy proceedings were in
stituted. Since none of the pro.
ceeds of the operation by Crapr
went into the hands of the receiv.
err, and nothing from this source
was turned over by him tothe
trustee, it follows that the pro
ceeds of Mrs. McArthur's lum'
Der form no part whatever of the
bankruptcy assets. AS stated
the lumber was sawed up by
Crapp who had agreed to pay the
receiver a thousand dollars rent
for the mill but who never paid a
dollar. This was done before
bankruptcy. Whatever may be
the equities to which Mrs. Nc
is entitled against Crapp, or
against Mercer as receiver of the
state court, or against Swift and
Grantham, her claim obviously
has no relation to the bankruptcy
fund in the hands of the trustee
or to any fund which may accrue
in its behalf.
Another question arises upon
a petition of Mercer, receiver,
presented to the referee after
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-05-02

tate is better off by the sum
of these four cunts,
to-wit: $2,418.5O from the pur-
chase aud operetion by the re-
ceiver so far as this timber IS
concerned, considered apart from
his other transactions"
It is apparent from this record
that no creditors other than
those having liens or prorities
can benefcially participate in
the distribution of these assets.
Creditors having claims to the
extent of $4,000 have been al
lowed by the referee to with
draw from the estate machinery,
timber and other property fur
nished by them on contracts re-
serving title in the vendor. This
was done in the following man.
ner. Such creditors filed before
the referee petitions setting up
conditional sales, the amount
due them and praying that the
trustee be authorized to sell"
to them such property in settle
ment of their claims. Attached
to said petition is petition
of Ethe trustees, repre-
senting that it is to the best in
terest of the estate to accept
such offer and praying that he
be authorized to make the sale.
This is followed by an order of
the referee directing the sale to
the claimants for the amount due
them. It is also significant that
six of the seven creditors who in
this manner apparently received
full settlement of their claims
were represented by the same
attorneys who also appear Of re-
cord as the attorneys for the
trustee and for the petitioning
creditors. No attention seems
to have been accorded the rule of
court providing that trustee shall
not employ lawyers representing
other interests. These so-cal1ed
sales" or orders, allowing ven
doris to retake property furnish
ed by them, were it also appears
made ex parte and without COM
plying with section 58-4, which
requires "Creditors shall have at
least ten days notice by mail of
all proposed sales of property"
Another creditor, V. S. Wooley,
held a valid specific mortgage on
certain tim Der and other proper
ty of the bankrupt. This was
given to secure loan of $3.50,
with interest at 8 per cent, from
June IA, 1902. This property
was sold by the trustee for S.,
$50. 1t follows that the lien of
the creditor attached to this fund
and must unless otherwise order
ed in it's entirety be paid there
from. Since this property
brought more than the principal
and interest of the mortgage, it
is presumed that sufficiency to
discharge the debt of Wooley is
in the designated depository as
required by law.
There is no doubt at all as to
the validity or priority of Wool
ey's claim and mortgage on the
property conveyed to secure it.
1t is quite impossible to compel
secured creditors to pay any part
of the compensation of the re-
ceiver earned in the state court
or any portion of his advances
there which did not plainly con-
tribute to increase the fund in
the hands of the trustee in bank
ruptcy. The expense and cost
of the bankruptcy court stand
upon superior footing, and if
there is not sufficient property
to pay them, j. seems that the
secured creditors should contri-
