WITH THE PICTURES OF LEE
AND GRANT

Among all the film actors play
ing historical characters in "The
Birth of a Nation" spectacle to be
seen at the Evangeline theatre soon,
Howard Gage and Donald Crisp
have received the most compliments
on the faithfulness of their work,
the one as General Robert E. Lee
and the other as General U. S.
Grant.
The picture shows General Lee
surrendering to General Grant in
the Wilmer-McLean Mansion at
Appomattox Court House, Va, April
8, 1865. It is most faithful repro
duction of all the personages in the
great historic scene and Of the mi
mute details of the action.
It is well-known that many sup
porters of the defeated Confedrracy
wished to prolong the struggle by
means Of guerilla warfare similar
to that used by the Beers toward the
close of the Anglo-Boer war. In
fact John Wilkes Booth supposed
that in killing President Lincoln he
would have the support Of the South
in new struggle. But General Lee
was of a different temper. He re
allied that the South had been beat
en- in fair struggle on the fields of
battle and that prolonging the fight
ing would merely add to the horrors
and miseries endured by his people.
Therefore, after the Battle Of Five
Forks, he opened negotiations with
Grant and on the morning Of April
9th under the budding apple trees of
an Appomattox orchard were deter
mined the terms of peace which
were formally written down at the
Wilmer-McLean house in the after
noon.
Lee had dressed for his lest public
occasion with great care. Grant on
the contrary lacked his full dress
and appeared in the fatigue" and
dusty iackeooots Of the hard cam
paign. Strangely enough General
Lee had no pencil to write with. \
pocket ink stand and pen were lent
by an officer Of the general staff,
and it was with these that the histor-
ic document Of surrender was writ
ten. Afterwards an effort was
made to arrest and indict Lee for
treason but Grant, who knew Lees
nobility of character and how he
had fulfilled to the letter all the sur
render obligations, prevented any
such disgraceful sequel to the great
event.

A WRECK AVERTED

Stamford, Conn.,, March 8th-A
yellow pine guard rail, 8 inches by
6 inches, prevented catastrophe on
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad at the draw
bridge over the Mianus River at l
o'clock this afternoon.
The coaches in the Boston Ex-
press from New York were derailed
and bumped $50 feet over the tires,
which form the floor of the draw
bridge out over the river, before the
train was brought to standstill
The express was on the extreme out
side track and only the stout guard
rail and the safety chains connect
ing the cars prevented the derailed
cars, if not the entire train, from
plunging into the river, 40 feet be-
low. The Mianus is navigable
river with a soft mud bottom The
bridge has been under military
guard the last month.
In one of the derailed cars, form
err President Taft was riding. After
humping along on the tires for sew
eral hundred feet, this car brought
up just as it was about to topple
over. Two women tainted, one of
whom was Mrs. Orndorff o. Nor
walk. Taft was among thosa who
went to the aid of Mrs Orndorff.
The parlor car tilted at dang crols
angle.
TAFT, with other passengers was
delayed two hours. Seven thou
sand Slovaks later turned out to
greet him at the Bridgeport Amory,
where he spoke.
The train was made up OF lag
gage car, smoker, three coaches, q
dining car and six parlor cars, and
there were upward of 800 passan-
gers aboard. There were perhaps
$50 persons on the ears that were
derailed. among them many women
Some Of the women became hys-
tericaI as the derailed cars bumped
along the wooden ties. No one was
injured seriously.
The draw bridge is a fourtrack
structure about 1900 feet long, with
one roller lift span over the channel.
The engine baggage car and smoker
did not leave the track and two par
lor cars and dining car at the rear
of the train remained on the rails.
The engine was about in the middle
of the bridge when the train was
stopped.
The cause of the accident is not
known.

A DAUGHTER OF THE CITY

Every girl in love will want to
see this photoplay.
Every mother and father will want
their daughters to see it.
The drama is fascinating ro-
nance in which true love wins, but
it points out the perils of the Prim-
rose Path and the dangers that beset
the beautiful girl.
Margaret Fowler is daughter of
the city. Her mother, mean and
avaricious, ground down by poverty,
is willing to sacrifice her daughters
happiness and love for wealth and
position.
The girl longs for the beautiful
things Of life. Prompted by her. own
mothers pleadings, she turns her
back on love.
But her heart is pure and she
shrinks back in horror from the lure
of evil when it confronts her, al
though it wears golden mein.
She sees behind the mask of the
man who pretends he wishes to be-
friend her. But she knows not which
way to turn.
Her sweetheart, however, UNI
known to her, steps in to protect
her. Through the aid of a good
woman he succeeds in saving her.
She discovers at last that happiness
lies only with the man she loves.
This wonderful feature will be
shown at the Arcade Sunday.
