THE CHARLOTT NEWS, MARCH 9, 1914. 6 "Stop Thief." Messrs. Cohan & Harris will offer Charlotte theatergoers at the Acade my of Music this afternoon and tonight their original New York production of Carlyle Moore's great farce comedy success, "Stop Thief," which is mak ing the greatest hit of any attraction on tour this season. "Stop Thief" is said to be the fun. niest play that has been staged in this country in years, and the press and public in every city where tlis com pany has appeared have been loud in their praise of the company and the play. "Stop Thief" was presented in New York, for one solid year, breaking all records for a comedy, and we are to see here the same company that play ed in the piece throughout the long metropolitan engagement. The advance seat sale has been good for both performances. There are etill some desirable seats to be had fit Hawley's. "Everywoman." By far the 'most interesting produc tion of recent years, the dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman',, with which the public has become familiar through New York press dispatches and maga Eine articles, will be disclosed at the Academy of Music Friday and Satur day of this week, with a matinee Sat urday afternoon, when Henry W. Sav age will offer his splendid perfor mance which comes direct from long engagements in the large cities where It has scored strongly The cabled ac counts of the great success the piece nchieved in Londdn at the Drury Lane theater establishes the fact that "Ev Brywoman" has as strong an appeal in foreign lands as it. has had in Ameri ca. It is now being performed nightly in five different countries. The play defies the ordinary classi fication of the theater. It is not, strict ly speaking, opera, musical comedy or drama, while partaking of many of the attractive features of all of thwn. It was suggested to the author, the late Walter' Browne, by the ancient morality play, "Everyman," which was performed throughout America a few years ago by a band of English players. There is, however, not the slightest similarity in treatment, for "Everywoman" was gloomy and mor bid, while "Everywoman" is a delicious satire on the frailties of the fair sex, carrying with it a message that is uni versal. The production as it stands represents an expenditure of upward of sixty thousand dollars. Mr. Savage has declared that he considers "Every woman" the most important triumph in his career as a producer. The. mu sic, which is symphonic in character, is interpreted by a special symphony orchestra carried by the company. It was composed by George Whitefield Chadwick, dean of the New England Conservatory of Music of Boston. Dr. Chadwick is the composer of several famous symphonies performed annual ly by the Boston Symphony Orchestra as well as by all the other great or chestras of the world. Over one hun dred and fifty people are employed in the production which is undoubtedly the largest ever toured. land youngsters , can. The minstrel man's managerial ear was attracted and the use of a few coins soon brought the boy to him. The little fel low was apparently poor, for his clothes hardly covered him, and the subsequent talk and investigation con firmed this first impression. Mr. Evans learned that the boy lived with' his parents, who were honest peasants and had a hard time making ends meet. He made an offer for' the ser vices of the boy- to join" his company and sing for American theatergoers as he had been singing that first night in the street of Rotterdam. Ynen the boy's parents found that their son would have to go to America to avail of the offer they at once shook their heads, "no," they could not consent to that, he Was -"too young," by and by perhaps, but not now," and so the painstrel lure was denied. But Evans has had many letters from the boy's father in the meantime and now in his twentieth year Master Paul is in Amer ica, and singing each night as the boys of Holland do on their native heath. MAN WHO CUT ANOTHER IS STILL AT LARGE. George Evans' Minstrels. Master Paul Van Dyke is announced as a yodler in the list of vocalists ac companying "Honey Boy" Evans to the Academy of Music Wednesday matinee and night. It is said to be his first ap pearance, on any stage and there is a pretty little tale connected with his engagement by George Evans. During the summer of 1910, "Honey Boy" Evans spent his vacation abroad and his travels took him to the famed dykes of Holland. In the city of Rotter dam one evening he was attracted by a boy who was yodling, as only the Hoi' Special to The News. Chester, S. C, March 9. Albert Ratterree, who seriously cut-up Her bert Woods Saturday night near the .Seaboard Air Line station is still at large. He is the son of J. D. Ratter ree, a prominent commercial traveler. Woods lies in a dangerous condition at the Magdalene Hospital here. Sheriff D. Earle Colvin and his dep uties are making a vigorous eearcn for young Ratteree. It is believed that he is hiding some where nearby. Woods is the electrician at the Springstein Mill here, while Ratter ree is a truck farmer on the out skirts of the city. It is not known exactly what caused the fight. A large number of stitches were used in Wood's cuts. He bled profusely. TRINITY COLLEGE Special to Th News. Trinity College, March 9. The Young Men's Christian Association has arranged a eeries of lectures per taining to the Christian life. These lectures are to be delivered on Wed nesday evenings. The first of these lectures was delivered last evening by President W. P. Few. The others in the series are to be delivered by Dr. J. J. Hurt, pastor of the First Baptist church. Dr. Franklin N. Park er, professor of Biblical literature, and .Rev. R. C. Craven, pastor of Trinity church. Tire association is arranging for other addresses to be delivered during the spring terjn. . A telegram was received last night at the Trinity Park school from Spartanburg, S. C, stating that the debating team of this institution had won the victory over Wofford Fitting school. The Trinity Park school rep resentatives were Messrs. E. M. Spi vey and A. H. Gwyn, and upheld the negative side of the query. Resolved: That the United States should give independence to the Philippine Is lands in 1920. This debate was the third of a se ries of three contests between these two institutions, and was special in terest since prior to this time each institution had won one victory. The first of these series was held at Spartanburg and was won by tne Park school representatives, Messrs, R. L- Hayes and J. W. Lambeth.. The second of the series was held at Trinity college, when T. F. Jones ond R. A. Stamey lost to Wofford Ftting school.

By Associated Press. Vancouver, B. C, March 9. A Cana dian Pacific steamer arrived today with 3,500,000 Chinese eggs consigned to places in the United States. By Associated Press. Atlanta, . Ga., March 9. Evidence was made public here avhich attorneys for Leo M. Frank, sentenced to be hanged April 17, for the murder here of Mary Phagan, a factory girl, in April of last year, claim has placed the case in an entirely new light. Frank's lawyers today asserted that they are in possession of proof that the mysterious "murder notes" which figured so prominently in the trial of the factory superintendent, were writ ten in the basement of the factory where they were found near the body of the murdered girl, and not in Frank's office, as claimed by the prosecution. James Copley, negro sweeper at the factory, and chief witness against Frank; testified that he wrote the notes at the instance of the convicted man and at his dictation. Conley said on the witness stand that Frank took an order pad from the desk and hand ing it to the negro, told him to write the notes thereon. This, Conley tes tified, he did, It now, is . claimed by the defense that examination of the "murder notes" shows that they were writter on an order blank which had been used nearly four years before the mur der, by a former master-mechanic at the pencil factory who left that insti tution in 1912. The signature of this man, H. F. Becker, it is asserted, ap pears in carbon, tracery on the paper: together with the almost obliterated record of the order's serial number. Frank's lawyers say they have traced this order and identified it. In sup port of their contention that the notes written in the factory basement they declared that Becker's, office was on a differen floor from Frank's and was cleaned out when he left the factory, and all papers were taken to the basement. It would be highly unlike ly, they asserted, that Frank would have had an old, soiled and discarded order pad on his desk. Another point which it was claimed supported this theory was that the order blanks in use at the factory at the time of the murder bore the date line "191 ", while that on which the murder notes were written was dated "190". While Frank's attorney would not disclose the exact nature of the grounds upon which they intend to base their extraordinary motion for a new trial, it was intimated that the disclosures probably would bear di rectly upon their plans. 3 U Dr. E.

TT ru C r, - verwhelming Verdict A few months ago, a man in no way connected with the making of Postum or the marketing of coffee, wrote to quite a number of prysicians all over the country asking their unbiased testimony in the case of Postum vs. Coffee. The following excepts from their letters constitute an overwhelming verdict In Favor of Postum "1 have discarded coffee altogether in my fam ily, and instead use Postum which we find makes a rich, delicious drink, without any' of the delete rious effects attendant on the continuous use of coffee." "Our family have been users of Postum for a long time. We were very liberal coffee drinkers, but were conscious that coffee was harming us our nervous system, digestion and heart action go we quit the coffee and began using Postum. fcw -we relish it far more than we did coffee, and B a!l relieved of the old coffee troubles. As a physician I have induced several families to quit coffee and use Postum.' "Postum when it is desirable, to leave off coffee on account of over-stimulation or gastric disturbances." - "Postum has been used in my family nearly ever since it was placed on the market, and I reccomend it to my patients. It is a nourishing drink. A great many families are givig their children Postum in place of coffee with best of results." "I have used Postum in my family for years with the most satisfactroily reults, so much so that we have practically abolished coffee, and with it the coffee headaches, nervousness, and. lying awake the best part of the night.' T drink Postum every morning, and recom mend it to my friends who have 'nerves' and indigestion." "No more coffee for me. I am using Instant Postum and advise my patients to do likewise. I prefer it to the best coffee, and have no more sour stomach attacks as I used to." , "For years I have been using Postum in the family and advocating it for my patients. I con sider it to be exactly what its " manufacturers claim for it. Postum is excellent in place of coffee where the latter is contraindicated. The food value of Postum plays an important part when compared with coffee." "I have used Postum for the past eight years in place of coffee. Before that I was troubled with frequent bilious headaches due to excessive use of coffee, and was then advised to use Postum. Since that time I have not had a single attack, which effect I attribute entirely Postum. I frequently recommend it to others who experience equally gratifying results." "Hardly a week goes by that I do not advise some patient with an irritable, acid stomach and nervous heart to stop at once the use of all coffee and take up the use of Postum, and always with good results."" . "I am satisfied that coffee is responsible in a great degree for the premature breakdown of our active men and women. They suffer from caffeine poisoning. Of the truth of this there is not the shadow of a doubt. Our commonsense tells us that the daily swallowing of caffeine over-stimulating the heartland brain will be followed by nervous depression, and finally by more or less dis astrous results.- I believe if people in general would use Postum as a beverage in place of coffee and tea their mental and physical condition would be much improved.' "Have had many cases that could not drink coffee on account of its reflex action, on the "heart. Postum always supplies the place of coffee with out" the bad effects." AAtVl 4ll A YltfH4 rf'-k-C wrl -vmh 4- m 4 W AS-hPsS-V f HftA Il s-v i-. - Postum is a genuine food-drink, made of whole wheat and a small per cent of molasses. Contains the nutri tious values of the krain, but is pure arid absolutely free from the coffee drg, caffeine, or any other harmful sub stance. ' . 7 Postum comes in two forms: ; Regular Postum must be well boiled to bring out its fine flavor. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum a soluble form. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water with sugar and cream added makes a delightful beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

The circular contains information which was prepared after exhaustive investigation and is illustrated with twenty-eight photographs showing proper and improper methods of pack ing and loading perishable fruit and truck. The circular is being distributed among all important fruit and vege table growers on the lines of the Southern and G. S. & F. Railways and to all agents, and it is felt that con siderable improvement' and better re turns to the grower and shipper will result from the idea. One striking photograph is shown in the circular of a car loaded from end to end and piled high with beans and onions. The containers used were poor and weak. Of this slip-shod, cost ly method of shipping, the following comment is made: "Does it surprise you to learn they were in such a brok en and crushed condition on arrival at destination they barely brought freight charges? On the other hand, what do you think of the grower who spends big money on fertilizei and la bor to grow his ' crops, and then de liberately buys a poor weak container in which to pack them, and crowns his shortsighted policy by loading them to the above manner? It is such as he who finally go under and wonder why." WE HAVE ALL NOTICED IT. (St. Paul Pioneer Press.) Nature selects this kind of weath er, to prove to a credulous world that woman is not the weak vessel, phy sically speaking, that' sentimental poets would have us believe. Take yesterday for example, when the themometric mercury was cutting all kinds of subzero antics, and ob serve the representatives of the fair sex on the streets and trolly cars. Here came one with her neck . en folded in a voluminous fur wrap. But did it meet under her neck and pro tect her throat and chest? Not that one would notice. Carefully folded away from her throat 4t left bare a generous V-shaped section of her chest, though perhaps in cheertul mockery the edge of the opened gar ment migh carry a fringe of fur. Here is another, whose scant width skirt disclosed no, not heavy arctics, but low enoes, almost pumns, and thin silk stockings through which the flesh tints declared them selves. Contrast her with the puny specimen of manhood which acted as her escort. He was only six feet tall and could not have weighed as mucn as 180 pounds, so he required the pro tection of a fur cap pulled over his ears and half his face, meeting the upturned collar of a heavy fur-lined coat. His " delicate- pedal extremities were cased in weighty lined over shoes, the third clasp, of which was concealed by his nether garment. The man shivered; the woman" ra diated warmth and health. JMeitner attracted attention, as the spectacle is not out of the ordinary. Take any one of these crisp, sparkling days, and you may see it duplicated over and over again. It is an old eaying that a man takes cold through . his chest and a woman through her feet, - but observation and experience would teach that' a woman takes cold through neither. , His hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him.
