AT THE THEATERS
WELL-kNoWN ACTOR

WELL KNOWN ACTOR
INVENTS NEW NOVELTY
In the sober villainouS face of the
average stage heavy man there is little
humor His chief aim is to give clever
portrayal Of character that will cause
the listeners to have silent contempt
for the part portrayed.
The average theatergoer, when witness
ing performance, will sometimes remark
the scowl and the frown on the features
of the heavy man, and were he to meet
the same man on the street he would
be surprised to find, instead of sour
visaged, silent person, that he was
jolly and good natured chap, who was
perhaps as light-hearted as the hero Of
the play witnessed
That such actors sometimes possess a
hidden vein of real humor was proven a
few days ago when John Nicholson, the
popular character actor. succeeded in pat
enting one Of the greatest novelties ever
invented.
has Just completed little novelty called
This Doll With Forty Faces" This fun
ny little creature Is made of wood and
paper. with the head on a revolving axis
and the eyes and mouth on a revolving
disc.
Al every turn or revolution of the head
the expression Of the eyes and mouth
change and the expressions are simply
wonderful
MIR. Nicholson is at present playing the
role Of Lord Eyerlow in the big human
at the Lyric. a play that touches the
heart and grips the emotions.
ROSE OF KILDARE
DELIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE
Like breath from the ould sod" was
Fiske O'Hara and Gladys Wynne in THE
Rose of Kildare" at the Atlanta last
night. The play is decidedly romantic
and Mr.. O'Hara never appeared to a bet
ter advantage than he did in the role of
Gerald O'Donnell, the Irish patriot.
The scene is laid among the madcap
gentry of the eighteenth century and filled
TO overlooking with wit and typical Irish
gallantry. while the play itself is calcu-
lated to delight the heart of every lover Of
beautiful sentiment.
During the play Mr.. O'Hara's fine tenor
voice is heard to an advantage in several
beautiful numbers written especially for
Freight" There's Only one ireland,
'The Rose of Kildare" and Il Adore
Thee
The great regret to be felt in regard to
the play is, that by playing only one date
in Atlanta, many patrons Of the theater
will miss seeing one of the brightest and
most interesting plays of the season.

THE TOLL or THE ROADS.

The record Of casualties on the rail
roads of all kinds in this city IS not
encouraging. 1t seems to be growing
worse. In April two years ago the total
number was 2S05, in April last year it
was .2,S46, in April this year 1t was
3,31O. The increase is at far greater
ratio than the increase Of population or
Of patronage Of the roads. 1t should he
less. if the advance of science and skill
increases the security Of human life and
limb. True, the number of fatal and
serious casualties is decreasing slightly.
But that is not enough. The whole num-
ber should decrease, for whenever acct
dents occur there is danger Of their re-
sulting seriously. The real safeguard
against serious accidents is one against
any accidents.
Analysis Of the figures shows a
marked contrast between those for the
railroads Of this city and those for the
railroads of the country at large. In
the country at large the great majority
Of casualties, more than 81 per cent,
were those to employees; while those to
passengers were only Is per cent and
those 10 trcspassers and others only IA
per cent. But on the city lines an
equally great majority, more than 81
per cent, were to passengers, while those
to employees were only - per cent, or
the least Of all. and those to trespassers
and others, which in the case of the troll
ley lines might be expected to be most
numerous, were only II per cent. On
railroads at large it is the employees who
suffer most, and on our urban roads 1t IS
the passengers.
In neither class are the figures credit
able. 70 what extent they are suscepti-
bic of reduction is a problem which is
worthy TO engage the best attention Of
engineers and practical administrators.
1t is impossible TO doubt that in some
way It would be possible to make travel
on public transportation lines more Sc
cure and 10 lessen the peril Of the
streets 1t is true that the number of
casualties is very small I'm comparison
with the whole number Of persons car
ried. So is the number of deaths from
hydrOphobia or tetanus small in compar-
ison with the total number from all
causes Nevertheless, earnest. persistent
and costly efforts are made to abate
even that small mortality, and similar
efforts should be made to lessen the
vital toll of the roads

PANAMA..

There really seems to be an incura-
bic craze for uttering rank nonsense
about Panama on every pretext and oc-
casion. We called attention the other
day TO the folly Of designating the 18TH
mian republic as the midget Of nations.
Now comes a still more circumstantial
and thus more inexcusable pronounce
ment. The closing of the sluice gates Of
the Gatun Dam is causing an accumula-
tion Of water behind them which Is the
beginning Of the lake that is TO form a
part of the waterway across the 18TH
mus. Whereupon we are categoricaly
assured that this lake will cover an
''area nearly as large as the State or
Rhode Island; that what Is left Of the
republic will form a mere fringe around
the lake. and that those who want to see
the canal as a canal had better hasten
thither before the lake fills up, for then
there will be no canal, but merely a
broad lake, stretching almost from sea
TO sea.
In respect Of the first of these inter
esting statements IL is to be observed
that the area Of the isthmian lake when
It is filled to the crest of the dams, 80
feet above tidewater, will be fraction
less than 165 square miles, while the
area Of the State Of Rhode Island is 1,24S
square miles. Apparently TO those az
flicted with Panamania 1873 per cent is
almost 100 per cent Next, as TO the
territorial residue of the republic form
ing mere fringe" around the lake. while
fSS square miles will be submerged,
about $4,000 square miles will remain
above water: enough. we should say, TO
form very considerable fringe-more
than two hundred miles wide on each side
of the lake. Finally, as TO the disappear
ance of the canal in an all-embracing
expanse of lake. the fact is that the
length Of wide lake navigation will be
only about eighteen miles, or less than
twO-ffths Of the whole, while twenty
three miles. or nearly Onehalf Of the
whole. will be through n canal pure and
simple. or lakes SO narrow as TO appear
mere canals. including practically all of
the really scenic and romantic part Of
the passage.
Such misstatememts rs these might be
dismissed with amusement were 1t not
for the fact that their frequent repeti-
fion. if uncOrrected, is likely TO create
false and even injurious impressions.
Comparatively few readers take the time
to verify statistical assertions, and
large proportion might accept even these
