"T. Roosevelt

Augusta J. Evans famous novel,
,ssst. Elmo" has long been one OF the
most widely read books, the incidents
of which are laid in the South. There
are few who are unacquainted with
this powerful delineation Of a most
fascinating character and this inter-
est lies not alone in the South, but in
The Northern cities as we'll. A recent
inquiry at a half a dozen Of the larg-
est Of the New York Public Library
branches, developed the fact that
COPY Of st. Elmo is rarely upon the
shelves for more than day at a time,
although each library possesses from
three to a dozen copies Of the book.
Not even the works Of Dickens or
Scott are more widely read nor have
those masters of English literature
given to the world a mora intensely
human character study than that or
st. Elmo Murray, whose early disll-
lusionment of his fiancee and the be-
loved chum of his boyhood induce a
reaction from his own nobility OF
character to produce a man little
short of fend in human form. His
regeneration and restoration to his
own better self is accomplished
through the influence of the pure and
unspoiled orphan Edna Earl. 1t is
not without misgiving that Neil
Twomey approached the difficult task
of condensing for dramatic use the
crowded incidents Of the novel, but ne
has succeeded in presenting play pos
sessing the literary quality Of the nov
el and the added value of rapidity OF
action with no expense Of sacrifice OF
local color or the indeflnable charm
of the book. The play, est. Elmo"
interpreted by a notably good cast OF
players will be seen at the city opera
house on next Tuesday night, Novem-
ber Is.

tie civic among our rich.

There is one thing that could be
done without money that would add
greatly to the appearance Of the city,
though it would take little muscle.
Sweep off the paved sidewalks in front
Of your own premises every morning.
You have no idea how much 1t would
improve appearances, until you try
the experiment. There are some prop
erty owners who now do this and you
should take note Of it as you pass
along.
This would really be glorious wealth
er to work on The Idler's park. Would
IL not be a good idea to get few
interested parties together some even
ing and organize and get the move
ment started. We have to take time
some Of these days to die and we had
Just as we'll take a little time to do
something that would be a blessing to
the present and to future generations.
Don't you think so?

SENATOR CLAY DEAD.

for a Year. :.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 13.-United States
Senator Alexander Stephens Clay, Of
Georgia died at the Robertson sani-
tarium here this afternoon at 3
o'clock after an extended illness. His
death was as peaceful as it was sud-
den. He had been talking with his
son, Herbert, a few minutes when he
suddenly ceased speaking and fell
back with slight gasp.
During the morning and afternoon
the senator appeared in better spirits
than usual, the attending physician
stating that he was apparently re-
covering from the slight relapse OF
Saturday. Mrs. Clay came to Atlanta
from their home at Marietta in the
morning, but when she found the SEN
ator so much improved, returned to
Marietta about noon. The only mem

bed was the senator's son, Herbert,
who is mayor Of Marietta.
Suffers a Relapse.
According to the physicians, Sena-
tor Clay's death resulted from dilation
of the heart, superinduced by arterial
sclerosis. The senator had been i'll
for nearly a year and came to the
senitarium here on November to
take rest cure. He appeared to be
improving until Saturday when he
suffered a relapse which he, in his
weakened condition, was unable to
stand. The body was removed to the
Clay home at Marietta late In the aft
ernoon, where the funeral services
will be held Tuesday.
