Invitation to franklin.

Several amusing incidents in the life

handed down to us, many of which eX-
hibit his rare wit and some few indi-
cate the humor OF his contemporaries.
During the course of an extended
journey, Franklin was obliged to await
an unusually long time for his stage
The day was very warm and sultry
and not little dusty, but all this did
not ruffle his philosophical temper,
The stage at last arrived, and as the
door opened Franklin was much
pleased to see an old friend, whom he
cordially greeted. expressing his salts
faction at having secured a travelling
companion. His friend, however
whose irritation was not decreased by
the closely-crowded stage and the in
tolerable weather. together with
Franklin's hesitation on noting the al
ready overburdened coach, perhaps un
consciously exclaimed:

oId-Time Theatrical Manager Recalls
Amusing Experience That Came
Near Breaking UP tho Show
Quick Reconciliation.

"In the wild and woody days of Chey-
so much occupied at night that it was
rare sight to see one of them on the
street before noon, was the manager
OF theater there called the Gold
Room, in which we employed small
dramatic stock company and few
specially performers. Tony, who was
a clever Irish comedian and singer,
was a member of the stock and a very
useful man, except when he was
rubbed the wrong way.
THE leading woman, known as
Monte Verde, was Of Spanish descent
and had the quick temper SO often
found in members Of that race There
was no love lost between her and
Tony at best but they never really
Quarreled until one evening, when she
was coming up flight of rather dark
stairs and he was going down, he
chanced to step sQuarely upon her
foot. 1t was an accident, Of course,
but 1 suppose 1t hurt no less on that
account. At any rate. she gave Tony
such tongue lashing as one seldom
gets from a woman. When she had
finished her TRADE he answered,
quietly:
Fer that lasht rema-ark I'm goin'
to let ye dhrown in the PAIGE tonight
Il overheard this, but thought moth
ing of 1t, and went away laughing.
The piece we were playing that
week was called "A Woman of the
World The second scene of the first
act is the deck of a Hudson river
steamboat; time. night. The only deck
passenger is an Irish glazier (Ben-
toni. The heroine of the piece Monte
Verde) has been deserted by her
lover, who has gone to New York, and
she is following him my this boat.
Humiliation, however, at last over
comes her, and she resolves upon sui
eide. Coming upon deck, she makes a
long speech. closing with: 'Good-by,
father; good-by, mother; forgive me
for this rash act and jumps over
board. The glazier jumps after and
rescues her; and as he lift her over
the rail the curtain falls on the first
act.
That particular night she made her
speech and jumped. but Benton madd
no move to rescue her. 1 happened to
be standing In the entrance, and
called to him in loud stage whisper:
TONY! Tony!'
He calmly turned around toward
me and said:
"'Phwat is it,?

an. Quick
Jaw said he, with supreme indif-
ference, let 'er dhrown.'
I'VE were compelled to ring the cur
tain down without rescuing her. She
was drowned all right enough. but we
had to resuscitate her before the piece
could go on"

To Reopen the INQUEST.

Columbia. March 13.-A man who
gives the name of r. M. Walton and
who says his home is in Missouri, is
in the Richland Jail, pendin" further
Investigation into the double homi-
eide al Shandon last Saturday night.
On the strength Of his arrest and
information obtained since Sunday
Coroner Walker will reopen the in
quest into the death Of Charlie B.
Green and Edgar Marshal, and it is
likely that the hearing Of testimony
will be resumed tomorrow night.
Walton was in Union when his talk
aroused suspicion and, upon infor-
nation sent from that city, the cor
oner <worc out a warrant, which was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Cole
man and Deputy John Carr went up
to Union this morning, returning in
the afternoon with the man who had
been arrested by the Union police.
The coroner interviewed him in the
Jail and the statements made by Wal
ton ,lo not allay suspicion. He states
that he came here from Savannah
Saturday and spent Saturday night
here, going up the railroad to Alston
on foot Sunday morning. He at first
denied ever having been in jail be-
fore, but owned up later to previous
acquaintanceShip with the bars.
I, is likely that persons who saw
young Marshall Saturday night be-
fore the attempt to rob Green will be
given Il look at Walton and they can
say whether or not he was the person
seen in company with Marshall that
night.
Coroner Walker is being highly
commended for the work he is doing
in this case and, while many do not
believe there was another man con-
cerncd in the robbery and murder,
his efforts to follow every clue that
might bring results will comand ap-
proval. He has done his full duty
despite circumstances that might dis
may less conscientious official.

Man Arrested at Union Suspected of

Union, March ia white man,

OF Blythcdale, Missouri, was arrest
ed by the police of this city last night
on suspicion of being connected with
the murder Of G. b. Green, the mer-
chant VIII" was killed in Columbia a
few days ago. Deputy Sheriff Carr
came up from Columbia this morning
and carried the man back to that city
on the midday train.
Prior to his arrest it is said that
Walton gave various accounts of his
place Of birth, saying among other
things that he was born in Australia
and had worked on the Panama Cam
al. TO the chief of police after his
arrest, he stated he was from Missou-
II and that he had been at work in
South Florida and was on his way
home, and that he reached Columbia
from Savannah last Sunday night,
leaving that place on foot early Sun
day morning.
Walton said today that he arrived
in Columbia at il. M. Sunday and
left an hour later. His accounts of
himself c"Nlradict themselves in 9TH
er ways, and, taken with his appear
ance, which tallies with the dcscrip-

an accessory to the murder Of Mr..
Green, makes him out a decidedly

Long talked with Coroner Walker, of

asked that Walton be held for the

TWICE A WEEK. 81 so A YEAR
IMMIGRATION WORK
WILL NOT BE HAMPERED.
Until July, at Least, Aliens May En-
ter This Country-Bonaparte to
Prepare Another Opinion.

Washington, March 13.-Informa-
ton received today renders it clear
that the immigration authorities, as
one result of the several conferences
recently held in which the PRESIDENT
Secretary Struas, Attorney General
Bonaparte, Commissioner of Immi-
grafton Sargent and prominent men
of the South have participated, will
interpret the existing Immigration
law as it was interpreted in the South
Carolina case. The attorney general
has held that the immigrants landed
at Charleston, S. c., last November
arc legally in this country. They
were induced to come to America by
authorized agents of the State Of
South Carolina and the passage mon
+ey OF some, at least, Of them was paid
by the state, and of others by contri-
buttons by citizens.
Several other Southern states have
decided to seek immigration aon"
the same lines as were followed by
South Carolina and it is understood
they will not be intcrcfcrrcd with in
Tie carrying ont of their plans,
prior to the 1st of next July, on which
date the act of Feb. 20, 1907, will be-
come effective. In others words, such
immigrants as present themselves to
the ports Of this country before July
I, next, under conditions the same as
surrounded those who arrived at
Charleston, S. c., last November will
be permitted to land.
Meanwhile Attorney General Bona
parte will examine carefully the new
immigration law and will prepare an
Interpretation of it for the guidance
of the administration and of the
southern states. 1t is quite certain
that the states, under the new law,
will be permitted to advertise the
advantages to immigrants of locating
within their borders. but whether the
state authorities are to be permitted
to 90 to the extent of furnishing i'm
migl ants with transportation to this
country is yet probcmatical.
1t is the opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte that they will be per-
mitted to- do so, but he expects fur
ther to examine the law in the light
of the decisions Of the courts, and rem
der to the president formal opinion
on the subject before the law shall
become effective.
