CHARLOTTE DAILX, OBSERVER, JANUARY 22, 1903, AMUSEr.iEHTS la an interview with a reporter lor a .ew Torlc newspaper the other day Henry B.' lfarris, manager and producer ef "The Lion and the Mouse." declared . hia faith In" the longevity oi that play. Mr. Harris compared (Charles-ICleln'i play lth the "Old Homestead." "The Henriet ta," -"'Way Down Eat," and other plays that have lived for a genera tion and are atm belns; played before the public. Mr." Harris also compared ; "The Lion and the Mouse" with sev eral of last season" 4ig- successes in ytw York, including "The Hypo crites." "Peter Pan" and The Great . Divide," and said he as sura all these plays would survive at least three or four teaicms. . In substan tiation' of his declaration! regarding yjjja Uon and the Mouse," he said T (.-was sending on the road this sea srfi four "Lion and the Mouae" com panies, the same number having play ed this piece last season. "The Lion and the Mouse" will be , seen at the Academy Of Music Sat urday, matinee and night. Seats win go on sale to-morrow morning at Ha'wley's. , ' '. fffuman nature Is the - same the world over and the talk and action of the village people pictured so graph ically In Oeorue Ade's "The County at the Academy of Music next Monday night, carry you back to the halycon days of youth and you .seem to rec ognize la ihe types drawn bo 'cleverly by the dramatist, old friends and ac quaintances. The scenes of he play are laid in Indiana, but the hamlet pictured, Antioch, might be iu the far West, the South or the North," ' or Whatever the spectator's childhood home happened to be, for the various personages of the play are sure to . make one reminiscent. .Mr. Ade's play Is a satire, put me SRiire is always tempered with kini lines. Everyone who has lived In 'the country will rec ognize at a glanee, the minute detaiU , of the author's creation; the strong ' and often broadly-drawn characters, which while of the grotesque are really human personages. The , fact that Mr. Ade passed his early Ife in a ' small community, gives him the powr to picture with such a facile pen the peculiarities and oddities of the village folk. .' Th mtarv of tli." Dlav has as Its central figure Jim Haikler, the coun ty chairman, who dominates every :ene with his rugsed presence. He Is the past master of all the ins and outa of politic in his section. '.Inct den'ally he ::e!ps in the development or ir.e preiiy love siory mm iria iw the piece. As tho Hon. Jim Hackler, WItyiam Chatteiton. has a strong part, one that is out of the ordinary, and his characterization Is said to be thoroughly artistic. Another charac ter study replete with genuine humor is the inimitable Sasuafrus, tho col ored voter, played "capitally by Clint G, ford. Mr. Kofi's long association In this line of parts makes him a master. , - George Ade has ialj particular at tention to the cast, which is one of . excellence throughout Tho lavish production of "The County Chairman" from a scenic standpoint ha resulted in IU beins known" a a "Pictorial jUomedy." The second act, whlcn pictures the grove outside of Antioch, where the debate between the rival .anriiintpx la hrirt. is a tine example of stage management.

Among other things this report,, ahowfidjhat the receipts of the association during 1907 exceeded those of 1906 by more than $500, and exceeded those of W5 by more than one thousand dollars. The report snowed also that during thl year 8S vespep services have been held, with an avenge attendance of 65, and that an average attenaance nf 90 wo nresent at the meetings of the Bible class which - Miss Mildred Watklns conducted each week during the last school year. Mrs. Martin read also the report of the treasurer. Dr. Annie Alexander, which showed the receipts of the as sociation during 1907 to have been 116.50, and that at the close of the year a balance of $81.11 remained In the treasury. After the reading: of these reports Mr. . Franklin commended highly the work of the association, ana saia that he never had been able to under stand, why there is more enthusiasm shown in the Y. M.

W.C.'A. and jret I. am forced to ask: 'Does Charlotte realiie her full duty to pro vide battlements for her young men and her young women?' ' This" is ' a problem we are forced to face, and a duty ; we must discharge. - Has Charlotte fully appreciated her duty to the Y, . W. C. A., .her duty tOj!ace H, upon a sure 'foundation, not only for the purpose of-saving young wo men, but also to elevate and broaden tht'in ? ' - , hoar much , about woman' rights.' hut I 'am flir more' Interested In woman' privilege than I am In her rights, and from some rights that I see on the streets I am led to see that woman's privilege Is In jeopardy. Ote work of the Y. W. C. A. Is to preserve woman's- privilege; give her the home influence which every wo man needs when away from her own home." ' In closing Mr. Clark spoke of' the dangers to which young women are exposed . who leave their homes and enme to cities ' seeking- work. He showed how the Y. W. C. A. In a large measure supplies ,. them with this much needed home Influence. - His entire address was an earnest plea for every community to realise Its full duty to the young women who are strangers in the community and pro vide them Vlth every Christian pro tection of their privilege. The last speaker on- the programme was Miss Anna D. easier. State sec retary for the Carollnas. . c She spoke Inte'-estlngiy of the object, work, and needs of the Y. V. C. A.'

WOULD BRIXG GOLD SOITHWARD Southern Cotton Association Intent on bub.vrrlng Feet Intercuts of Farm ent Strong Hank and Mutual Fire Insurance Company-Unfed Atuon;r Vital Plans of Entlrs Organization. Among the most vitally and force fully Interesting matters, us they toucn the Southern Cotton Association, two items will be brought -before the Nortir Carolina division of the asso ciation to-day, or at least into the hands of' the committee on nnance. The cotton growers of the whole South have realized and with a decided emphasis during the recent sfc'ingency in money a specific deficiency by rea son of the fact that oavmcnts for American cotton are made In English gold, which I shipped Into the coffers of New York. The first matter In this line as It Impresses the cotton pro ducers is In the establishment of an adequately capitalized bank, located and established in the .heart of the South to the end that trans-Atlantic gold shall be brought Into contiguous territory, or lmmedl'avely among those who shall have producej the crop which shall have commanded English and European monev. . In the same line of aim, it is the purpose of the association to organize on a mutual basis such a' fire insur ance company as will afford protection to the cotton Interests, at a cost, as they view It, more commensurate with premium values. '..' These matters will receive the clos est attention and consideration, and by quick stages will be Inaugurated by the general association. The com mitter are not quoted literally la such organizations, but the gist of the un dertakings is thus given out by in formed members of the North Caro lina division of thegrowlng ond influ ential cotton producing body of the South.

Illinois, who 'claims the "middle-weight championship of the world defeated Walter Stflnton. of San Francisco, In four munds at the Armory Athletic Associat'on here to night, In the fourth found both started fighting like whirlwinds. In close-in fighting Papke drove his man around the ring and with a heavy blow to the stomach floored 8tanton to the count of nine. Stanton came back and landed a dozen hard blows but Papke was too strong and with a "succession of punches sent Stanton down again. Stanton's seconds threw the sponge into the ring and the bout ended. WhH is a (Jcntlcman? Philadelphia Record. The Bev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, preacher of sermons, and spinner of sea yarns, appealed to a considerable number of men and womin, who may be presumed to he experts in the mat ter, for their definition of a gentle man. We doubt if from any of them he will get a better summary ot. the characteristics of the person under consideration than the statement of The Manchester (N. H.) Umon that "a gentleman always stands ready to help someone else. Is sparing in his criticism, makes serious ststements only when he is sure ot his ground is kind, to a woman, good to the chil dren, and isn't always hankering to cheat the eye-teeth out of his neigh bor." Perhaps there are some other apec iflcations to he made,, but .we do not think of them. It Is essential to a pentleman that he should hive good manners, but good manners, in dis tinction from moro etiquette, which I of - little Importance,, consists- of thoughtfulness for others, for their rights and also for their comfort and pleasure. Probably every man takes It for granted thai he Is a gentleman, and Introspection and re flection ere not much In fashion. But It any man should mise the question in his own mind whether he Is a gentleman or not he could' solve the problem by considering how his lan guage and actions and manners af fect the rights and comforts ot other people. - " . ' ,, Tho golden rule is wrjith all the etiquette books In the wor'J, for the epigram that "manners are minor mors Is" is very much more than a witticism. A man who treats other as he would like to have them treat t,im m not be entirely relished, but that superficial finish will come from ! rubhlng against other people. There, would he no oores in mo everyone cared to avoid causing dis comfort and annoyance to others. Mfstiijce? Boy In Babylon.
