SECRET SERVICE SAM"

A. H. Woods's greatest and most elaborate scenic production, Secret Service Sam," the man with many faces, with Charles T. Aldrich in the leading role, will be the attraction at Polls Wednesday matinee and even- ing.

ABOUT NOTABLE AMERICANS

The South has few women so repre-
sentative and charming as Mrs. Nir-
glnla Clay Clopton of Huntsville, Ala.
She is the widow of Clement c. Clay,
Jr., a member of the Confederate Cab
met. and n co-prisoner with Jefferson
Davis when that fallen chieftain saw
his little republic crumble and was sent
into humilialing confinement to bear
the burden of n lost cause. Mrs. Clop-
ton Lived in Washington many years,
and her memory is rich IN stories of
the great men and the clever women
, who formed the social world of that
period. Her richest "reminiscences are
of the time when Andrew Johnson was
President, and so completely under the
dominion Of Secretary Stanton that
the Presidential orders were not even
worth the paper they were written on
when presented at Fortress Monroe as
passports for her to visit her husband.
She once made Il most daring lnva-
sion Of the White House to demand ad-
mission 10 Fortress Monroe, and added
rather interesting paragraph to his
tory by openly accusing Mr.. johnson
of having no power IN his own Office
and of being afraid of Secretary Stan
ton. The President never denied the
accusation, but mildly suggested that
she write down the various grievances
she had against the government and he
would read them at the next meeting
, of the Cabinet. Mrs. Clay waxcd
wroth over this and refused TO comply
with the suggestion, saying: 81 will
come and read it myself, il you will
only say so; then l will know ii was
read. :" Her perseverance finally won
her permission to see her husband, but
her contempt for Johnson never waned, l.,
and her hate for Stanton S unfair
methods never cooled.
