She Once Wrote About Her Work.
But once upon a time Maude Adams
wrote an article for a magazine and in
this she EXPIRE ssed the revolutionary
and incendiary opinion that the public
really didn't care a continental about
what an actress wore to breakfast or
how she fixed her hair, or whether her
summer farm was on Long Island or in
Brcathitt county, Kentucky. Her opin-
ion was that the public likes actresses
because they can act She was willing
to write something about her plays and
which roles she liked best, but when it
came to the sad. sweet story OF her in
ner life she begged to ring down the
curtain. And it may be that she is
right about it.
Perhaps there has never been a play
er of the prominence of Maude Adams
about whom there has been so little
said in the newspapers and magazines
beyond matters relating solely to her
| work on the stage. Perhaps no other
actress Of her popularity has 50 seldom
been seen off stage by her admirers.
Did you ever near Of Maude Adams
taking tea with friends in Atlanta or
being seen at the bail game, or taking
ride in somebody's motor car?
Neither have we. She arrives in her
private car, goes to her hotel apart
ments, appears at her performance and
goes back 10 the hotel
Fears Being Lionized.
If she goes driving for fresh air,
there's no brass band leading the pro-
cession and nobody knows it but herself
and her companions. And 1t doesn't
seem to be haughtiness. Could you
imagine Maude Adams being naughty?
The few who have really met her and
chatted with her say it Is rather shy
ness. She appears to be conscious OF
being lionized and she doesn't like it.
Manager Williams says the revival Of
Peter Pam this season was made in
response to the public desire; that
everywhere Miss Adams went with

There is also a lack Of discipline
among the Turkish soldiers which
strikes observers as a most untoward
factor in military affairs. A war cor

shoot down an officer because he was

ing punished the soldier was allowed
to go free.

Clashes Between

The speakers reviewed every phase
of the crematory wrangle since it be-

members of the aldermanic board were
familiar with all the details and they
appeared little interested except during
some of the statements Of Mr.. Wood
ward and when there were clashes be-

z. A. Starnes, a merchant of $50 De-

store today to get down some goods for
prospective buyer, When he faced
about he was knocked unconscious by a
blow of billy on his head.
Railroad men, on their way home
from work, heard Starnes fall as they
passed the store, and dashed in to find
a NEGRO bending over the PROSTATE mer-
chant. He apparently was about to de-
liver another blow, which might have
killed his victim.
Their arrival saved Starnes' life and

the robber saw them enter, he fed
through back door into the alley.

Why Gambler Voted
To Tear Down Plant.

When the vote was taken, Acting
Mayor Gambler said he had written out
an explanation of his vote, to be sure
he would not be misunderstood. He said
he would vote to tear down the plant
because the city council had entered
into a solemn contract with the De-
structor Company to do it,
Alderman Johnston explained his vote
with the statement that he had not had
to write out an explanation. but that
the contract with Mr. Story was vague
and indefnitei that it gave him forty
days I'm which to do the work, and that
the board Of health ought to have pro-
ceeded in a more businesslike way &c
get the plant torn down
He said he was satisfied that the city
had contracted to pay 100000 too much
for a new crematory, but he did not
care to discuss that matter now. as iC
was not the question before the board.

THE THIRD PARTY.

Professor A. b. Hart, of Harvard Uni
versity, who was one Of the Roosevelt
Notwithstanding from Massachusetts.
concludes statement Of the history and
causes Of the split at Chicago with these
words about the third party movement:
The future Of the new party. which
will almost certainly be called the Pro-
eressive party, is in-the future. BY
adopting a new name it is hoped 10 win
over Democratic Progressives. particu
larly If they should be left out in the
cold by the Baltimore convention. In
a considerable number Of the Western
states, particularly California, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Oregon
and Washington, people are not pas
sionately attached to the Republican
party and are very much attached to
progressive legislation. In the East the
work is harder. but the Roosevelt men
have a good start in Massachusetts,
strong hold in New York and a splendid
footing in Pennsylvania. People talk
about the bad Finn; ne was not bad
I'm the convention. He has the. appear
ance and manners Of a gentleman But
no sensible man will think II easy 70
take from between the paws Of Mr.
Finn anything that that gentleman
thinks he Is entitled to. II Is perfectly
clear that the new party has il I'm its
power to reduce Mr.. Taft's electoral vote
to so small a figure that the party will
he on the verge Of shipwreck. For that
result the Roosevelt 1S Of Massachu-
Setts take not the smallest responsible
ity; I'm their minds the only way to
make the party representative again Is
to crush out the idea that you are NOR
ally entitled to capture a convention If
you do not like the candidate who has
the majority of the delegates
That gives the situation from the Roose-
welt point Of view, stripped Of the VIC
lence Of extreme craftsmanship The third
party movement has hopes Of amount
ing to much only in half a dozen or 80
Western states. For the rest the work
is harder" The purpose Of the movement
is to bring the Republican party to the
verge of shipwreck." The issue is the
reform Of the handling Of contests by
national conventions
The third party, then, does not hold
out any hope Of success, which is a fatal
obstacle to its development Of consider
able strength. 1t has not stirring is
sue. A mere difference of opinion over
contested seats where there was room for
a difference of opinion Is not such an
issue. And the public lbs not much use
for revenge in poIif.ts. There remain
the paws Of Mr.. Finn TO be considered
as an asset. IN spite of tho ,gibutc Of
Professor Hart, these redouhtable
paws" now seem in danger Of letting
Pennsylvania slip away.

he was nominated without getting a SIN
Gle vote from New York, and his lack

Mr.. Bryan either In Governor wilson

in appealing to the general prejudice
against Tammany as means OF break

The Clark managers showed lamcntabe

support was n colossal blunder, since
