NEIL D BRIEN' s
MINSTREL MEN
SCORE HIT
Novelties Help to Make the Show
Attractive, and Individual
Stars Are Good,
By TARLeroN COLLIER.

With an eye for novelty. Neil
O'Brien has collected the nakings Of
great minstrel show in his two
year-old organization Ministries are
born, perhaps, but minstrel shows are
made, by the hardest work and 4
species of true genius on the part Of
the men q the head Of them
That Neil OBrieu is capable Of all
this is proved by the exhibition at the
Atlanta Theater Monday night.
There was Eddie Ross and his
banjo, a most delectable combination,
Eddie being a good comedian with 1t
oil; there was Eddie Mazier, a hefty
sort of person who has learned the
true niger" psychology; Walter
Lindsey, an able female iSnpersona-
tor: Major Nowak, the tiniest come
dian on record: Ward Barton, yo-
dler who caught the crowd. and a
bunch of others. But first Of all, as
the scream of the show there was
Neil O'Brien himself.
1t seemed that the show lacked
spontaneity in spots. and maybe
little brightness, and certainly the
dancers are not so good as some who
have been here this season. But min
strel lovers who know Neil O'Brien
are depending on his bolstering up
the weak spots and creating an insti-
tuition with this show Of his.
Two particular novelties came at
the end of the show. one was an
arrangement OF the company just as
In the first part to sing the farewell
bit. The other was a number Of meg
aphones attached to telephone wires,
and placed in the foyer and outer
lobby of the theater, that the depart
ing crowd might hear The goodnight
singing of minstrel behind the
stage.
The company will be at the At

! score was tied when the Nationals came
to the bat in the ninth. Ray Morgan
at first up. hit sharply to Moriarty at
third for Detroit. Moriarty made a
quick throw but. seeing he had a
| chance to beat the ball. Morgan jumped
feet first into the bag. 1t was the
closest sort of a decision.
When Sheridan waved him out, the
enraged Washington player jumped up

him from the field and without further

With this 1t was a free-for-ar. Nor

before either Griffith or George Burns,
of Detroit, could separate them they
were tangled up in an old fashioned
pummeling contest. Griffith finally
tore Morgan loose and carried him to-
ward to right field.
In the meantime George Mcbride had
arrived and hurled himself at Sheridan,
dragging the umpire back Al Williams

spectator meant.
1t developed later that it was Charles
Hall, an automobile man of this city.
Hall leaped forward at Ainsmith. and
over the front of the stand blows fell

Westinghouse Root for Griff-

By THOMAS KIRBY.

DETROIT, Mich, July 31.-A story

effect that all of the Nationals had sud-
denly reformed and that cigarettes had
forever been barred caused more amuse-
ment than interest here today. One of
the first things Griffith did when he took

60 on record against the cigarettes. He
issued no ruling against cigars or men
chewing tobacco.

Knoxville.-The million dollar home

The Victoria variety will be used on

quantities in the hills of East Tennes-

marble is to be used in the building is
regarded as decided recognition of
the famous Tennessee product. Last

should be built of Tennessee marble,

SIMPLY DEMANDING HER OWN
Recent Discoveries Show That Wom-
an Has Retrogressed Since the
Days Of the Pharaohs.

In the days Of the Pharaohs-no less
than in the days of the Roman empire
woman was on plane of equality
with man. There is thus, perhaps,
nothing exorbitant now in her de-
mand for the vote. She Is only ask
ing for little of her own back.
Sir CASTOR Maspero has unearthed
some Pharaonic papyri which throw
an interesting light on the Pharaonic
consideration of woman and marriage.
In those days mankind evidently ia
vored kind of trial marriaged, and
this marriage woman entered on terms
of perfect equality, or even, perhaps,
on terms of superiority.
This was the usual Pharanoic mar
riage contract, as deciphered by Sir
CASTOR Maspero:
Thou takest me to be thy wife and
thou giyest unto me a dowry. If 1t so
hap that | tire of thee or that l cast
my eyes on another than thee, will
return unto thee part of thy dowry
and will go where good seemeth unto

Jim Davis Kills Woman and Then
Turns Revolver Upon Himself.
Nashville.-Jim Davis, young ne
gro, died at the City hospital from the
effects of bullet wound inflicted by
himself after he had shot and in,
stantly killed Henrietta Gordon, ne.
gro woman, who was found dead in
the street on Sixteenth avenue and
Hamilton street.
The woman's body was discovered
by an employee of Taylor & Co., col.
ored undertakers, who Immediately
notified the police headquarters. Sew.
eral officers were rushed to the scene
in the auto patrol. Davis was found
in dying condition short distance
away and was sent to the City hos.
pital.
After making thorough search of
the neighborhood the officers found a
small negro girl, niece of Davis,
who identified the body of the negro
woman. The residence of the Cor.
don woman is unknown, although 1t
is said that Davis lives in Black Bot
tom.
Davis was unable to talk of the
tragedy at the hospital. The officers,
however, place little credence in the
theory that the negroes were shot by
another, A bloody revolver was found
near the body of the woman.

A LESSON IN ECONOMICS.

A workman walked into a grog
|. shop and asked the man behind the
bar the amount of his months bill.
He was told 1t was $11.10. With
hands grimy from a hard days toll
the man reached into his pockets,
drew out ten dollar bill and one
dollar bill and handed them over
the bar.
Just as he did SO the saloon mans
son came in and said, Father, moth
er sent me down to say that her new
hat will be done this evening, and she
wants you to give me S12 so she can
pay for it."
Without a word the saloon man
handed the boy the 81 the customer
had given him and added another dol
lar to 1t, whereupon the workman,
pointing his finger at the saloon man,
sad; is that where my money goes?
Twelve dollars for hat for your
wife? Why. only yesterday | refused
my wife "a for new hat, because 1t
was too much. This is the last time
am going to buy clothes for some
one else's family with my hard-earned
money / am going to climb right up
on the top seat of the water wager
and stay there" And he did.
