OPERA WAS A GREAT FINANCIAL
SUCCESS.

Nearly $4,000 profit was the net
result of the week of grand opera
in Atlanta. The expenses were about
100000, the gross receipts over SILL
600.
It was wonderful week. For the
first time in the history of the South,
outside of New Orleans, grand opera
was put on by the worlds greatest
singers. When it was first announced
that the entire Metropolitan Opera
Company was to be brought to Atlanta
for six performances there was at
first inclination to doubt, then to
express anxiety as to the result. But
these feelings finally gave way to ad-
miration for the nerve displayed, and
now there is nothing but enthusiastic
praise.
Nothing succeeds like success,
says the old proyerb, and the sues
cess achieved in this instance has
made Atlanta loom up big among the
cities of TIE land. Few are the cities
that have ever attempted such great
undertaking, and less still the num-
Der that have not only cleared ex-
pcnses but found a snug baIance to
the credit side of the account. This
was due to the skillful management
of the business side of the opera week
at the capital city. Experienced men
had charge of it, they managed it ad-
mirably, and the fruits speak well for
the work done by them.
Over $4,000 is given as the total
attendance at the opera. The record
for the week is full of significance.
1t is as follows:
Audience Receipts
Monday 1900 $9,621.57
Wednesday mat 1900 1O,833.57
Wednesday night 1000 18,S6S.32
Friday night ..6,OOO 15.9S7.S7
Saturday night $500 15,720.32
1t is certainly to be hoped that
such a glorious success will lead to
repetition of the grand opera sea-
| son at Atlanta. The next time the
auditorium will prove entirely made
| quate. Every one who saw any OF
the performances will desire to attend
another time, and the stories carried
to every town and hamlet in the
state by those present last week will
inspire an 4l,ness among thous-
ands to take advantage of any similar
opportunity hereafter.

PRAYERS PINNED To
NIGHTIES OF DUpES
Faith Cure Healer Lands In
Court on Complaint Of
Sleuth.

New York, Aug. Indifference Of
opinion as to the the~rapeutical efficacy
of s~cribbling hieroglpics on note
paper and then tying the paper
prayers" to a lady's affected arm,
head or leg, led to the arraignment OF
Mrs. Eva Stein before Magistrate Butts
In the Yorkville police court. Mrs.
Stein is accused by the County Medical
society OF attempting TO diagnose the
ailments of patients and of then Offer
ing to cure them by sending them to
bed with paper prayers tied to their
nighties n with still others written
prayers to place under the pillows.
A woman detective in the employ of
the medical society submitted an affi-
davit which tells OF her experience as
a patient" with Mrs. Stein. whose
charge for treatment, the detective
says, is only 15 cents.
So pleased was the upper east side
with Mrs. STEMS methods and prices,
says the detective, that when
she called to see the alleged healer to
test the treatment she was obliged to
stand in line for about four hours while
the crowd ahead paid out its dimes
n nickels to be cured.

hence of the city executive in recent
months in city. and to a growing ex-
tent. in state and national affairs, at
tracted widespread attention.
Everywhere the news OF the attempt
on his life was received with evidence
of profound regret. In all public places
the affair was the absorbing topic. One
of the first dispatches of coincidence
was from ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt.
Another Man Is Hit.
II has been learned that Street
Cleaning Commissioner William Ed
wards was slightly wounded by OF
the bullets intended for Mayor Gaynor.
Edwards, who was standing by the
mayor. seized Gallagher's arm. One OF
the bullets passed through the street
commissioners sleeve n grazed MS
left arm. The wound, however, was so
slight that Mr.. Edwards only discov-
cred il after the excitement had sub
sided.
GALLAGHER Makes Confession.
Gallagher made the following signed
confession 10 Robert w. Bell, acting
chic. of police OF Hoboken:
al came over to Hoboken at 9:20 this
morning. l went to the steamship pier
and went on hoard the steamer Kaiser
Welhelm der Crosse. ] met a clergy
man on board and asked him TO point
out Mayor Gaynor TO me. He did so
and shortly afterward fired a shot at
the mayor. / do not know IL l fired
more thar one shot or not.

Assailant Is Cool Hand.
Gallagher seemed remarkably cool

and about so years old. She said he had
been living in her house for more than
two years. He evidently had employ
ment as a night Waterman, for it was
mis- custom 70 &c cut every night at 10
o'clock and return at $3.50 in the morn
ing. For the last two or three weeks,
however, 1t was apparent that he had
been out Of work, for Mrs. Johnson said
he had not been keeping his regular
hours.
Gallagher, according to Mrs. Johnson,
cJme in at $3.50 this morning and went
to his room, and his landlady did not
see him go out again. He occupied a
single room at the rear Of the house
and she regarded him as a first class
boarder. AS far as she knew he was
not active in politics. He had no
friends in the house and his visitors
from outside Mrs. Johnson described as
men of good appearance and address.
Assailant's Bad Record.
Gallagher, the mayors as~sailant, was
taken before Recorder McGovern. He
displayed little emotion.
He deprived me OF my bread and
butter" said the discharged dock en-
ploye. Il did not want porter house
steak he added.
Recorder McGovern held the prisoner
without bail to await the result Of the
mayors injuries.
Gallagher was appointed a Waterman
in the New York City dock department,
April Z, 1908. He was discharged July
10, 1910, after having beer found guilty
of neglect Of duty and misconduct.
Among his other transgressions was
the fact that he failed to punch the
dial on the time clock that recorded his
presence. He was also charged with
using insulting language to an inspec-
tor. Since his discharge Gallagher has
been writing letters to the mayor.

Mary's hospital, Hoboken, where the
mayor was Immediately taken to the
operating room. He was still con-
scious and occasionally spoke TO those
about him. To the city officials who
accompanied him to the hospital he in
Dictated the gravity with which he
viewed the shot by these words:
Say goodbye to the people"
The hospital physicians made a
careful examination of the wound.
Their conclusion agreed with that of
the ships surgeon that the injury was
not necessarily fatal.
Wound Is in the Neck.
It was found that the bullet had
entered the mayors neck, back of the
ear, burying itself in the region OF the
mastoid bone. The bullet was not To-
Gated and no effort was made to probe,
1t was decided to await the arrival Of
a from New York.
Meantime the mayor remained calm,
His chief difficulty came from the
gathering of blood in his throat. After
the illustrations of the physicians,
Mr.. Gaynor expressed himself as feel
ing better.
The attempt to assassinate the
mayor has caused intense excitement
throughout New York. The promi-

while making this sts tement, to which
he affixed his signature. Detective Ser
geant A. b. Closter, arrived at Gala
gher,s boarding house 81 :tc:,. I: guar
ter before II M went at once to Gala
gher's room.
The room, which is a small Ore on the
third floor, was much Uttered up. Sew
eral medicine bottles were In evidence
and IL was clear that Gallaghen had
spent much OF his time recently In
reading the newspapers.
1t was said in the ~neighborhood that
Gallagher had been drinking a good
deal Of late and rumor had It that he
had lost $500 on the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. 1t was announced that all the
physicians in attendance On Mayor
Gaynor would hold a consultation late
this afternoon when 1t would be deter
mined whether or not the mayor was
able TO stand an operation.
Made Bitter Enemies.
Mayor Gaynor's administration
which began on January l last, had
been so drastic in its reforms, and he
had condemned SO many persons and
parties in such strong terms that he
became the subject of many threats. In
municipal official circles he made many
bitter enemies, and a number of power
full political organizations were uncosn
p~romSingly against him. Several
months ago an armed visitor at the
city hall was found trying to approach
Mayor Gaynor n he was removed.
Robert Adamson, secretary to the
mayor, was quoted as saying he feared
a crank might sometime attempt to kill
the mayor.
Mayor Gaynor was sailing on the first
vacation he has had since taking office
or January l.. He has been at work
from Ii to 16 hours q day, and impera-
lively felt the need of a rest. In order
to be out of reach of the affairs of his
office it was his intention to avoid al
the European cities and to take a jaunt
through the North Sea to the coast of
Norway. He expected to be absent
about n month.
Mayor Gaynor was rather secretive
about his preparations for the journey
which was so tragically interrupted. To
friends who saw him at his office yes
terday afternoon, he said his principal
object was the sea trip and he had nc
intention of visiting the continent or
stopping in any of the larger English
cities.
81 want a rest" he said. "I may go
to Sweden and possibly to Denmark"
He added hat he desired to be at sea
as much as possible and to thoroughly
rest after the hard work of the last
seven months and to get himself in
shape for the many difficult problems
that faced him on his return.
Comment Of Landlady.
Mrs. Sophie Johnson, who keeps the
rooming house at 440 Third ave-, where
Gallagher lives, when told that her
boarder had attempted to kill the
mayor. exclaimed with an expression OF
disgust:
1.-THE old fool! What did he do that
for?"
Mrs. Johnson described Gallagher as
a mar of quiet and retiring demeanor,

CONGRESSMAN MORTIFIED
AT ATTEMPTED MURDER

McAlester, Okla, Aug. 9.-The news
of the shooting of Mayor Gaynor
caused profound sorrow among the
congressman assembled here at the
Gore investigation.
"Mr. Gaynor has shown himself to
be one of the ablest men this country
possesses" said Congressman e. w.
Saunders, Of Virginia. 1.-THE appalling
attack on him shows the necessity for
drastic legislation by to stamp
out the class of undesirable foreigners
in this country. I am prepared to stand
by the severest measures Of this char
acter that can be enforced"
Congressman John H. Stephen, of
Texas, said: 81 propose to Introduce
into the next congress a bill to deport
every anarchist In this country. I pro-
pose they shall be segregated on some
island in tire Philippines whether they
be of foreign or American birth. /
shall also demand a radical change in
the immigration laws. Gaynor Is one OF
the ablest democrats his party pos
sesses."
Congressman P. P. Campbell, of Kan
sas, said:
1--WE ought now to be sufficiently
convinced of the necessity for a COM
plete revision of our immigration laws.
AS a public mar with progressive ideas,
Mayor Gaynor belonged as much to the
west as to the east. The high principles
which he lived up to have helped to i'm
prove every public official in the
country"
Senator Thomas p. Gore, of Okla
homa, said:
'I know Mayor Gaynor personally.
The loss OF his service to this country
would be a severe blow TO progressive
craftsmanship. Gaynor has shown
himself to be courageous enough to be
a man first, and the member of a po-
litical party afterwar6."
