Grand Opera.
Americas will not be as largely rep
resented at Grand Opera in Atlanta
this year as usual. many music lovers
having decided to attend the festival
in Macon, which takes place in May,
instead The Music Study club here
is composed of some of Americas
best musical talent and its members
have heretofore formed classes for
the study of the various operas, which
they expected to attend. Macon,
however, is much more accessible than
Atlanta and the weather conditions
are so much more favorable in May it
is probable that Americas people gen.
orally will wait for the festival.
Among those who NAL attend the opera
this week are Mr. and Mrs. J. Ralston

Mrs. Lawrence Brown and Mrs. S. R..

DEMONSTRATION ON SUCARLESS
 SWEETS AT HUT
Housewives Will Crowd Food Hut to Learn How to
 Meet Problem of Day

Getting along without sugar seems to be the next thing the housewife is called upon to do, and since the re- tailers say that sugar is to be scarce for some time a systematic study of the problem is in order
 Sugar of some description is neces- sary in the diet, and the possibilities of sweetening food without sugar are many and quite satisfactory.
 At the Food Hut on State street, on Thursday afternoon at 2:3O, Miss Gladys B. Green will devote her dem onstration to the subject of sugarless sweets.
 For those who carry lunches and feel that they must have cake, Miss Green will demonstrate a cake made with three tablespoons of sugar and
 corn syrup. This cake is very satis factory and one which Is most prac- tical at this time.
 The use of dried fruits, such as raisins dates. etc, Is a method of sweetening without sugar. Miss Green will demonstrate custard with no other sweetening than dates. With so many cranberries on the market one wonders what can be done Thursday will show ways of sweet ening cranberries without sugar. There will be a discussion of the pos abilities of the late canning and pre- serving without sugar, and Miss Green will show various practical ways of conserving the products. Dishes made from the various de- hy7drated products, dried this year at the Food Hut, will be made and the ladies asked to sample them. A very cordial invitation is exteni- ed to the women of Bridgeport to at tend this meeting.

ATTACK ON IRELAND BY
 QUOTING FACTS

Washington, Oct. 22 - The Irish national bureau here yesterday made public a letter from Michael J. O'Brien, historiographer of the American Irish Historical Society, to Senator Williams, Democrat, Missis- sippi, in which reply was made to the senator's attack on the Irish in the Senate last week.
 Referring to Senator Williams statement that he had received threatening letters," MT. O'Brien said that if any Irishmen were re- sponsible for them they do not rep resent genuine Irish feeling, and sug gested that the letters originated with enemies of Ireland.
 Taking up the senator's assertion that the Irish had exaggerated the part their race played in the revo- lutionary war, MT. O'Brien quoted from official documents in the gov ernment achieves in London, ptoto- graphic copies of which he said he enclosed, to show that the British commanders in the revoluntary war regarded the Irish in America as their "most serious antagonists.'
 He also said he had found abund- ant evidence to show that Irish sol diers in the British army took every opportunity of 'deserting to the re- bels', and added that he had found that at least 9S per cent of "the American army of liberty were OF Irish birth or of Irish descent"
 "Of one hundred surnames of an ancient Irish origin, have. counted on the rolls of the revolutionary army a total of 12,293." he wrote, adding that there were nearly 1,500 officers of Irish blood and that Gen. eral Washington chose as his aides a number of natives of Ireland and sons of Irish immigrants.

CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE PUBLIC
 AGAINST REDS

St Louis. Oct 22 - An intensive campaign to educate the masses against radical doctrines was advo- cated by speakers at the convention of the Investment Bankers Associa- tion of America today.
 The present industrial unrest is on a world wide scale because of the quick means of communication, said Lawrence Chamberlain of New York, Chairman of the education committee. and there is no reason why we can not use these same means of con- munlcatlon to teach the people the virulence of radical doctrines being disseminated"
 MT. Chamberlain said industrial unrest was an aftermath of war, and predicted the situation would read just itself as soon as conditions be- came normal

RAILROAD AND
 BUSINESS FIGHT
 TO START TODAY

Chicago, Tn., Oct 0.-Practically all of the big railroads, leading pack CTS and the whoIesals grocers of the United States will be represented at the hearing that will open here on Wednesday, October 22, before the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 In all BIT railroads are defendants in the bill filed by the National Wholesale Grocers Association whose representatives will present evidence in support of charges that unfair privileges accorded the big packers by the railroads through special re- frigeratng car service constitute menace destined ultimately to put the wholesale grocer potentially out of business unless relief is granted.
 The packers will participate in the legal controversy, taking sides with the railroads. They filed intervening petitions in behalf of the railroads following the filing of the suit.
 The packers, who have entered ex- cIusively in the grocery business are permitted by the railroads to ship grocery products-1Elich do not re- quire refrigeration-in refrigerator cars with fresh meats. These cars are dispatched with great speed, often times on passenger time schedule. Wholesale grocers are not accorded such special service in portions of the country and must use the ordin- ary freight system.
 The grocers are seeking relief in asking the interstate commerce com mission to cause the railroads to withdraw from the packers the un- due privilege of shipping groceries in so-caI1ed pedd1er cars with fresh meats.
 Officials of the wholesale grocery association, which comprises whole saIers in every state in the union, do not question the right of the pack CTS to ship fresh meats and perisha- ble packinghouse products by the special refrigerator car service. That is conceded as essential and benefi- cia1 to the health and welfare of the public. On the other hand they are asking that the packers and the gro cers be placed on an equal plane in the shipment of grocery products.
 Otherwise, according to Clifford Thorne, counsel for the wholesale grocers, the packers will soon dom mate the grocery business as they now do the meat packing business.

 much above the average type. Her idea was to inculcate in her two sons principles of honesty, industry and love of study. Useful reading was her chief delight every day.
 : Her influence made the fireside an
 attractive spot for husband and sons.
 For fifty years and more she filled
 the duties of a devoted wife and mother. Finally in her last years the ] two sons, David and Stephen, reversed the duties of home and showered on 1 her their loving care and devotion. ] Mrs. Boothe was from Monroe and | she loved her New England hills, streams, and wooded life. Sometimes she strayed from her beaten paths to see the great cities and their works of art.

phone behind the desk and had called number in a loud, brisk voice, but the subsequent conversation was car ried on in subdued tones, attended by haste and occasional furtive glanees in the direction of the taproom.
 Upon reaching his room Barnes per mitted the suppressed emotion to escape his lips in the shape of a soft whistle, which if it could have been translated into words would have said {: By Cad, why haven't I thought of it before? He sent out the warning that Roon and Paul were on the way And I'd like to bet my last dollar that someone at Green Fancy had the other end of the wire"
 MT. Rushcroft was giving Hamlets address to the players, in the tap room when Barnes came downstairs at nine o'clock.
 A small, dark man who sat alone at a table in the corner caught Barnes eye and smiled almost mournfully. He was undoubtedly a stranger; his actlon was meant to convey to Barnes the information that he too was from a distant and sophisticated community and that a bond of sympathy existed between them.
 Putnam Jones spoke suddenly at Barnes shoulder He started invol- untarily. The man was beginning to Rf1 hic TTr T kf Iae dogging his footsteps with ceaseless persistency.

 Says he won't be satisfied till he's made this section of the country the most cultured, refined spot in the Unit ed States" said Jones dolefully. "Ex- cuse me. There goes the telephone. Maybe it's news from the sheriff"
 With the spasmodic tinkling of the telephone bell the book agent arose and made his way to the little office. Barnes glanced over his shoulder a moment later and saw him studying the register. The boise of his sleek head, however, suggested listening attitude. Putnam Jones, not four feet
