A demonstration which resembled
those given to Enrico Caruso at his
anal appearances every season was ac-
corded to Nine. Geraldine Farrar last
evening when for the last time she ap-
peared as Fioria Tosca, q role she has
araced with distinction for many sea
sons on the stage OF the Metropolitan
Opera House.
Nine Farrar was greeted with q
packed house, every seat being filled
and every inch of standing room occu-
pied. Flowers rained at the end of the
srst act and the shower was even
greater after the second Mr.. Scotti
and Mr.. Gigli were kept busy garnering
the harvest of wreaths and bouquets.
4 house attendant finally came to the
assistance of the singers.
During one curtain call Mr. Gigli
gallantly took Nine. Farrar's hand.
Nr Scott promptly followed suit. She
rewarded her old friend and colleague
rith an embrace. A feminine ad-
niirer handed silken-lined basket to
enc of the orchestra men, who in turn
lifted it across the footlights. When
it was opened by Nine. Farrar it proved
TO contain snow white dove attached
to blue silk ribbon.
Mr.. GigIi and Mr.. Seotti seemed
loath to share the curtain calls. and
when they tactfully deserted Miss
Farrar she was repeatedly cheered by
the entire audience.
At the end of the performance the
enthusiasm waXed louder and louder
and there were the usual cries Of
eSpeech!" Miss Farrar, however. did
hot seem disposed to respond, and when
she had appeared a number of times
the asbestos curtain was lowered and
fhe house was gradually darkened.

The New PLAY

Let us not, this morning, be devoid,

Pepper play with music which was
performed last night at the Wander
bilt by Miss Charlotte Granville and
associates.
The girls were youthful, the dances
lively, the costumes expensive and of
many hues; and the plot was a sturdy
thing concerning noble and humorous
saleswoman who loved, though oddly

Soft music occurred during the senti-

as the saying goes, Of all the emotions
from merry jigs to the hcaving shoul-

may recall the play. if you are elderly

On the Screen
Nera Gordon and Dore David
son, at Central Theater, Re.
deem "Your Best Friend
By Harriette Underhill

This is the second time in two days
that we have seen Vera Gordon on the
screen and after viewing her work in
"Your Best Friend" at the Central
Theator we are more consumed with
admiration than ever. Any one who
can retain her compoaure and give
splendid and sincere performance mid
Dore Davidson must also be mentioned.
Although he was divorced from Miss
Gordon and instead of playing her hus-
band is just an old bookkeeper in her
employ, he is the only other bright
spot in the picture. Aside from the
fine performances of these two, "Your
Scst Friend" is as cheaply and falsely
melodramatlc as anything we have seen.

pie do and say things that nobody in

MAY SANCTION
TEN MILLIONS
Joint Highway Committee Meet
ing Of Assembly Against
$75,OOO,OOO Bonds

ATLANTA, June 30.-At meet
ing of the joint committees of the
house and senate on highways held
Yesterday afternoon the sentiment
prevailed that this year was no time
to issue bonds to the amount of $751;
100000 for good dads. While no
final action was taken there was a
disposition on part of some of the
members to Favor an issue of $780,
100000 md another isrue for the
same amount -hrea years later.
The committee will have another
session this afternoon in the senate
chamber at which time they will hear
from all well known Georgians who
are interested in the movement for
bonds, but who now seem willing to
have the amount reduced from $751;
100000. Among those who will APP
pear before the committee this aft
ernoon are G. II. Howard, T.-G. Far
mer, j: Tom VIM and w r. Neel.
The legislature seems to be in no
frame of mind for bond issues of
any sort and even though the com
mittee might recommend a small is
sue of bonds for road purposes it is
feared that the house and senate
would fail to sanction an issue. A

fully proven.
at is not surprising that the as

Northern heart and created bitter

opportunity to the extreme fanatical
element of the North to shape the

slider
what Might Have Been?
abraham Lincoln was great,
good and wise man, with a big, low
ing heart. He always held that the
Southern states were never out of
the union. He had the love, conf
dence and respect of his people, and
if he had lived his policies would
have been carried out-a request
from him to the Southern states tc
elect their senators and representa-
tives, send them to Washington and
again become a part of a reunited
union of sovereign and Independent
states; we would not have gone
through the farce of reconstructing
what he claimed had never been di-
vided.
owe would not have had the out
rageous manacling of Jefferson Da-
is, thereby wringing the heart of a
great and brave people by putting
this humiliation on their chieftain,
whom they all loved, honored and adj
mired, when they were helpless to
protect or defend him. The Southern
people would not have had to go
through the trying, expensive and
humiliating times of so-called Re
construction. The Freedman's Blu
reau and its anti-toXin, the Ku KluX
Khan, would never been heard of, and
the dove of peace with the olive
branch of brotherly love, nearly fifty
years after, would not still be hover
