A. R. RATES
AND SHOWS
lake Wells Calls Conference
for Tomorrow at Atlanta
to Discuss the Financial
Difficulty of Transporting
Shows Without the Old
Arrangement as to Reduc-
ed Rates.

Manager Smith of the Pensacola
opera house left yesterday for At
lanta to attend conference of
theatrical managers called by Jake
Wells, who, in a circular letter I'M
der date of Jan. "a, said in part:
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. "a, 1908.
During my recent trip throughout
the South, | have been approached at
a number of places by the manager
of theatres suggesting that a genera
meeting be called to consider the mat
ter of obtaining reasonable theatrical
railroad rates. You have no doubt
already remarked the serious Elf ct
the present railroad rates have had
upon the theatrical business, ard the
returns upon your investments in
theatrical properties
1t is absolutely necessary that some
relief be had, and, so fac as the rail-
road situation is concerned, the united
action and effort on the part Ct the
theatre managers of the south will be
required TO secure results In fact,
all the parties interested must act
together.
A number of us haVa tried slagIy
to secure some relief th"Cugl the
railroads but nothing has been ar
complished. Only by the action Of
all interested can we hope to secure
a remedy for conditions which are
already oppressive and alarming
The theatre owners and managers
should get together in general meet
ing, and map out a pi22 CT action in
an effort to secure such rates as will
1f limo
theatrical companies in the Sou
and make possible a profit in the
theatrical business.
For this purpose, and In accord
ance with the numerous requests
made to me, | am taking the liberty
of trying to secure general meet
ing of the theatrical managers of the
Southern states to be held at IL
Piedmont hotel, Atlanta, Georgia, on
February 3, 1908.
1 want to impress upon you the
fact that it is very essential you
should be present. The matter of
railroad rates is absolutely vital to
theatrical business interests and
less unity of action is had, a condi-
ton little short Of ruin confronts a
large per centage OF our managers
We want 70 meet in Atlanta, at
10 o'clock Monday February 3rd, and
your presence and cooperation will
be counted upon.
Please advise me in Atlanta upon
receipt of this letter to enter your
name as one who will be present and
take an. active part in the meeting
If we are going before the railroads
seeking a change of rates, we must
do so at once. Should we determine
to petition the Interstate Commerce
Commission to alter its ex parte rul-
ing concerning theatrical rates, which
ruling is largely responsible for the
existing disastrous conditions. there
is no time to be lost, for delay will
mean that no results can be secured
in time for the next season
AS time Is short please advise i'm
emdiately if you will attend, so that
call for the meeting can be issued

THIN PEOPLE
Of Pensacola, Fla. Try This.

Weigh yourself. Take Vinol a
while. Weigh yourself again. Then
gain In flesh, strength and appetite
VIII be better arguments for vinol
tnan all We can say.
This Is because Vinol contains in a
concentrated form all the medicinal
elements OF cod liver oil taken from
fresh Gods livers, but it is a better
BODY builder and strength creator
than cod liver oil or emulsions be
cause the useless, indigestible and
nauseat1ng oil has been eliminated
and peptonate of iron added.
Vinol creates an appetite, strength
ems every organ in the body, tones up
the digestive organs, makes rich, red
blood and firm healthy flesh.
AS a body builder and strength
creator for old people, weak women,
delicate children, and after sickness
and for pulmonary troubles, Vinol is
recommended by over 5000 of the
leading druggists of the United
States
So sure are We of what VinoI will
do that we refund money to those
who try Vinol and are not benefited.

Spinning on the Common.

That historic bit of ground known to
the world as Boston Common has been
the background OF many strange
! and picturesque scene. Surely not one
OF the varied events which have been
acted upon 1t presents n quainter pic
ture than one which took place about
100. Mr.. Francis Drake describes the
occurrence In his article in "The Memo
rial History of Boston" on Life In
Boston In the Provincial Period"
In 1920 an attempt was made In Bos-
ton TO encourage the art of spinning
and to establish schools where the
process could be taught to the poor. 1t
was recommended that twenty spin
ming wheels should be provided by the
town for the use of children sent from
the almshouse and premium allowed
OF TO for the first piece of linen spun
and woven.
In l747 society was organized for
the encouragement OF the industry, and
the fourth anniversary was publicly
celebrated.
"In the afternoon" says an old nc.
count, 900 young female spinsters. de-
Gently dressed, appeared on the com
mon with their spinning wheels. The
wheels were placed In three rows, a
female at each wheel. Weavers also
appeared In garments of their own
weaving. There was an immense num-
ber of spectators"

A Wasted Opportunity.

"Ole Bill" Foote and "Ole Bill" Eng
llsh were political travelling compan-
ions, and many stories were told of
their joint journeying.
The two hardy Democratic campaign.
ers were doing southern California one
election time and got into the country
at the back door OF Los Angeles. one
night they reached farmhouse where
they had expected TO find lodgings.
The farmer had nothing but two arm
chairs. Foote and English pleaded for
beds-cots, trundle beds, anything that
looked like bed. Nothing doing.
The campaigners, like Napoleon or
Grant or like Washington at Valley
Forge, slept In their chairs.
When the first advance agents of
dawn scudded out of the west. the poll
ticians laboriously got out OF their
chairs and went out for fresh air. They
met the old farmer milking the COW
with the crumpled horn.
do you know, gentlemen" he said
blandly and without contrltion, "you
could have had a bed, after all? l was
expecting two Democratic orators here
last night and saved the beds for them,
but somehow or other they never show

No Wonder He Fled.

A tall, solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with mild,
apologetic air and seated himself at a
vacant table near the middle of the
room. IL was evident that he dreaded
to intrude. He wanted TO get as far
away from other people as possible.
He even bushed painfully when he
gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashful. Just as his dinner was
brought to him n buXom looking wo-
man with seven small children entered
the place. The head waiter swepr the
field with his eye, pounced down upon
the table where the young man had
sought solitude, motioned to the moth
er, who clucked to the chickens, and
a moment later they were all around
that one table.
That young mans face was a serial
story.
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group. smiled signifi-
cantly and seated themselves.
"He doesn't look 1t, does he2" querIed
pleasant faced old lady IN an audible
whisper.
"She looks at least ten years older
than he," murmured a girl ut the next
table.
He few TO the hatrack, tossed a half
crown to the waiter and tried to go
through the door without opening it,

that he was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell us he was anywhere
from five feet six inches to five feet
eleven inches. There are some things

them. Historians are still guessing the
height Of Julius Caesar, the size of
