SPENCER MEMORIAL
GROWING RAPIDLY
Contributions of Southern Employees
Will Reach $5o,ooo-That Much
More Could Be Secured.

Washington, February H.-(Speeial.)-
The Spencer memorial fund committee,
having in charge the raising of sub
scription for the erection of a monument
at Atlanta to the memory of the late
president of the Southern railway, is more
than grateful for the way money from
the employees of the road is pouring in.
1t mas been a prosperous year along the
line and those in the service are not
waiting for the deductions to be made
out of the March accounts, but are send
ing their contributions in by mail and
express orders. The fund, it is expected,
will aggregate fully $4,000 when all sec
lions are heard from, though only $4,000
was figured upon.
The late President Spencer was gen
orally beloved and many banking and
business institutions along the Southern
railway have offered TO make donations
for it. and it is believed that fully $50,
600 more could be raised from this source.
The purpose and intent of the commit
tee is, however, to have the monument
a tribute of memorial from the employees
of the road only.

At the New Gayety.

The Gay Masqueraders'' commenced a
week S engagement at the New Gayety
yesterday afternoon and last night with
large audiences at both performances.
The entire play while lacking some of
the big features of some other of the
burlesque attractions, is good from the
start to finish
In the olio there is a novelty act that
is well worth seeing. 1t is that of Ernie
and Honneger, two men who have lost
a leg each, but who nevertheless perform
all kinds of acrobatic stunts, dance and
prance about the stage with as much
ability as many men with two legs.
These men perform some really wonderful
stunts, considering their condition, and
the dancing of Ernie on one foot would
be feature in any vaudeville theatre.
He is also able to kick some eight or nine
feet, balancing on his single eruteh while
doing so.
Charles Terrell offered real treat in
his negro act. He makes up as typical
old time darby. sings the old songs and
makes a hit with them. It is an act
that has not been seen for years and
comes now as quite novelty.
James and Lucia Cooper have an act
that is a queer combination of singing,
story telling and eccentric comedy, some
of which is new and CLEVER. John j.
Black also has some new jokes, parodies
and songs, and several old ones as well.
Mabel Darr. singer and dancer, is the
other act on the vaudeville bill. She has
a peculiar voice, which is very strong
for a woman.
The two comedies "A F'ixer" and
'Homeward Bound" have a great deal
of fun in them, and an abundance of
musical speealties are inserted. The
chorus were some very pretty and eff
fective costumes, which are all new and
bright. The stage settings, especially the
boat scene, are pretty.
There is a free matinee for women
and children this afternoon, when half
the theatre will be reserved for them.
There is a matinee and night performance
every day.

SOCIETY,".
BY ANNIE PERRY REID.
Bell Telephone 1897.
A TRUE EXAMPLE.

Ny attention has been called to what
1 consider a most liberal gift to an in
stitudon that certainly deserves all the
encoura cement possible on account of the
wonderful amount oil good accomplished
by it in this city.
A year or 50 ago one of the young
ladies' in the city Joined the Young
Woman's Christian association and for d
number of months came regularly to the
rooms at the luncheon hour, but for
some unforeseen reason her daily visits
ceased. She was young woman Of such
beautiful character and with such a
| sweet bright and smiling face that her
absence was commented upon several
| times. Finally a note was written to her
asking her to come To the association,
J that all of the members would love to
have her back again. as she was always
50 cheerful and happy that she made
others feel so when she was with them.
In answer to this invitation she en-
closed check for s.. and she was for
warded a membership ticket to the asso
citation, which is. by the way. only 81, ana
was gratefully thanked for her generous
gift
Another month came mad the check
was sent TO the association again by this
same young woman, and when she re-
ceiyed a note of thanks for the gift she
replied promptly to those in charge that
one of the greatest pleasures of her life
was in her gifts to the association; that
she felt the need of the association, and
that as long as she commanded a salary
it was her intention to continue the gift
each month.
Now the amount given is certainly very
generous and comes from the heart. Il
is given with Just the spirit that makes
The gift even more beautiful and more
appreciated than it would he in some
cases. If the dollars amounted to several
times the number. for it comes from a
girl scarcely out of her teens, and it is
money she earns herself.
Such instances are not to be heard of
daily, and should not be passed without
notice. If this young woman can so gen.
erously give to the association. what
could some others afford to do?
Many a man or woman living in this
district could give the same amount with
out even feeling it, and now that the
members are undertaking to build a hotel
for the girls in the city. where they can
have the comforts they deserve at a
reasonable price, the needs of the asso-
citation are far greater.

have some new comedy, stories, jokes
and songs making a pleasing act. Lucy
and Lucifer, prima donna and mes
senger boy, have a frst-class act en-
titled "a Fools Errand,' which proved
very popular yesterday afternoon and
last night.
The five japanese acrobats perform
many difficult stunts in balancing,
tumbling and pyramid building. The
Japs are considered among the best aero
bats in the world. especially in balancing
and tumbling, and the five in this act
are all good. The other feature of the
bill is Porter Norton. magician, who
has some new tricks in addition to the
old standard stunts. The moving pictures
complete the bill.
There are two performances daily, aft
