East Lake Casino.

Bad weather did not seem to affect the
attendance at East Lake park last night,
and those present wondered what kind Of
a crowd would have turned out had the
indications not pointed so strongly to
rain. All the various amusements were
In full progress. It was after midnight
when the last of the pleasure seekers
left the park.
Amusement goers say 1t Is doubtful II
a better selection of summer entertainers
could be selected for the East Lake Casino
than those composing John B. Wills Must
cal Comedy company, which will be seen
tonight in a new bill, THE Chorus Girl
Aside from selecting a good company,
much depends upon the plays which the
members are called on to present At
this season of the year an entertainment
must be light and frothy to please the
masses Those who have seen THE
Chorus Girl know something about how
summery she is, and they will doubtless
be In front row seats tonight. There is
enough comedy In the play to care for
the risiblltes of the most sedate. This
means that 1t Is to laugh al the Casino the
rest of the week. Reserved seats are on
sale at Parker's. There will be matinee
Saturday afternoon at $3.50.

street in West End last night and at
tempted to commit suicide by drinking

STRANGE FATE SEEMS
CONNECTED WITH TRIP

If A. B. Freemen, travelling pas
senger agent of the Queen and Crescent
Route, was Inclined to be supersttious.
he would now be in mortal fear of not
living long. A curious chain of elrcum-
stances in connection with some passenger
business he solicited and secured for his
road have been attracting attention in
railroad circles. and his friends are be-
ginning to believe that there is a curious
fate attached to this particular trip
over month ago Mr.. freeman and
w. C. McMillin, travelling passenger agent
of the Big Four Route In Atlanta. went
to Bessemer to see A. II. Handy. chair
man OF the Eagles committee IN charge of

stir in railroad circles. His company has
not been able to locate him in any way.
The craftsmanship of the committee on
arrangements fell on the shoulders of
Jerre Fountain. district organizer of the
Eagles, On last Friday afternoon, July
10. Mr. Fountain called at the office of
Mr.. Freeman and stated that he had
chosen the Queen and Crescent as the
official route. He and Mr.. Freeman ar
ranged for the advertising, and Mr.. Foun-
tain was to call Tuesday and see the
proofs He arranged for a stopover on
his ticket en- route back to Birming-

Less than four hours afterward Mr..
Fountain took morphine with suicidal in
