HEART OP YOUNG SOIIETY WOMAN
SURPRISED AT HIS POLISHED
ENGLISH
Just Think! He Weart a Frock Coat,
and His Handt Are Manicured,
and He Isn't a Bit
Horrid I
The following Ktory of the boxing
exhibition given by Jack O'Brien and
hi* threo sparring partners nt tho
PTtM club benefit it tlio Burhank ves
tprdny wns written by n. young woman
whoso tlmp hns horn more devoted to
society than sporting events:
"T Raw Mr, (Vrtrlon box nt tho Press
club benefit yesterday nftornoon nt
the Kurbntik theater and I was very,
much surprised, for I expected to see
a great, big ruffian of a fellow;
instead a. man In n frock coat, such a
one as can be seen any dny on the
street, walked out with as much grace
ns any society beau and began talking
in a quiet, well modulated time.
"Above all, and what clashed moro
than anything else with my Idea of a
prize fighter, he used no vulgarisms,
such as 'ain't' and 'don't he,' etc.
"His hair wns parted and combed
smooth and, from what I could see,
his hands were clean and smooth, his
clothes were pressed and his shoes
were polished. I expected to see a big,
muscular fellow come slouching side
ways out on the stagu, his hair pushed
up under a cap, a red and green
swenter pulled up to his ears, wearing
an old pair of trousers and with soles
on his shoes half an Inch thick.
"I thought he would stand there
sheepishly watching the audience out
of one eye and with the other looking
for the man to say 'go.' When they
were ready to start boxing I thought
Jack O"Brien would strip off his coat,
roll up his sleeves, forget all about the
audience and just pitch In.
"Instead he came In, surveyed the
audience for a minute and then started
with — a lecture on physical culture!
When he began that I thought per
haps I was mistaken and it wasn't
O'Brien, but his trainer. I was as
sured, however, that it was the prize
fighter himself who was proclaiming
the virtues of exorcise and expressing
his Ideas of what manhood and woman
hood should bs along the line of health.
He complimented the women of South
ern California on their superior beauty,
said a few other nice things and then
with the most polite accent imaginable
said:

TURN PURPLE
IN THE FACE
COOPER-HEWITT LIGHTS PLAY
COLOR TRICKS
O'Brien-Burns Fight Should Be a
Blue. Blooded Affair from the
Tap of the Gong to
the Finish
The Cooper-Hewitt lights were given
an initial trial at Naud Junction pa
vilion last night in the presence of Jack
O'Brien, Tommy Burns and a party of
newspaper representatives.
Should the Phlladelphian perchance
mingle his gloves with Tommy's face
or Burns whip a slashing right to the
Quaker's face tomorrow night there
will be no red blood flowing about. The
affair is to be strictly a bloc-blooded
one, as the Cooper-Hewitt lights work
wonders with color. No end of hllari
ousnexs was in order last night when
the lights went on for the first time.
Several carriages deposited the in
spection party at Junction doors and
an active member was first in the ring,
shading his eyes and trying to look at
Hip lamps. Soon the second one came
piling in.
"What's the matter with your face?"
said the first. "What's the matter
with yours?" quoth the second.
Some were for running out to be sure
that their features retained natural
coloring when exposed to ordinary con
ditions. "Fat Al," the gong-sounder
and timekeeper, was among those pres
ent and his bushy mustache resembled
n weather-beaten bunch of hay. Cooper-
Hewitt plays uncanny tricks with vari
ous hues, and there will be some odious
comparisons Wednesday night when
friend meets friend, with faces dyed a
cold-weather hue.
After final adjustment had been made
the camera was opened and pictures
taken of a throng in the ring. Tommy
Burns and Jack O'Brien had been
standing under the lights, though not in
close proximity, and when the picture
people requested everybody to make
his leet move Jack and Tommy
Joined with the rest and marched
around the ring.
It Is very possible that Burns and
O'Brien will toss for corners, as the
lights are so situated that the south
west corner directly fronts the lights.
Frank McDonald immediately arrived
at the conclusion that a distinct advan
tage would be forthcoming to the man
getting the northeast corner and sug
gested that a toss should be made. It
was decided, however, to pass the mat
ter up for the time being. Absolutely
no heat Issues from the lights, though
th.' tubes cast a peculiarly pressing
ray.
All day yesterday the Cooper-Hewitt
expert sent out from New York was
busy superintending the installation of
the mercury vapor arc lights. There
are eighty of these lamps, each con
suming 385 watts. The efficiency of
a lamp with a reflector Is four-tenths
of a watt per candle power, or ten
times as efficient as the ordinary six

"The three men who were used ns
foils to develop Mr. O'Brien's consum
mate skill did not seem to want to
annoy him by striking him. Mr.
O'Brien, however, wns not po timid.
He struck them repeatedly and with
such marvelous quickness that I
scarcely realized what wns happening.
Were those men really trying to strike
Mr. O'Brien? I could scarcely believe
It, but they seemed to be trying to do
something and falling.
"Sometimes the man they cnlled the
Turk struck real viciously nnd I was
nfraid he might hurt the man who had
made such a pretty speech about tho
California women. Mr. O'Brien did not
seem ,to mind it, however, and Just
moved away in a spider-like manner.

did not hit Mr. O'Brien.
"Perhaps these men didn't want to
do any harm to the orator becnuse of
the engagement he has with Thomas

NOLAN'S CASE
IS CONTINUED
By Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 26.—
The case of Billy Nolan, man
ager of Battling Nelson, was
today continued until Decem
ber 4, Nolan being detained
elsewhere by business.
Nolan was charged in a Chi
cago warrant with being a
fugitive and with holding sev
eral thousand dollars of the
money derived from the exhi
bition of the films of the Gans-
Nelson fight.
teen candle power incandescent lamp.
The lamps are arranged in sky-light
frames, such as photographers use.
Each frame contains eight glass tubes
which are 45 inches long and one inch
In diameter. A half pound of double
distilled mercury is placed in each
tube and when the air is entirely ex
hausted the tube is filled with the
vapor of mercury. Thus when the
current is applied it travels from the
positive to the negative end of the
tube, heatintr the vapor to incandes
cence.
To Install the lights an Immense
amount of scaffolding had to be sus
pended from the reef trusses in order
to suspend the lights in mid-air.
The light Is different from any other
artificial light known, in that it con
tains no red in the spectrum. The
green, blue and violet colors predom
inate and thus it is that all red ob
jects appear purple or blue and ob
jects of lighter hue appear green.
The Edison Electric company has
installed a special line of 1200 feet and
is operating a special three-wire motor
generator set, giving direct current
service.
The lamps give a total of more than
140,000 candle power, mostly projected
on the ring, which is twenty-two feet
square inside the ropes.
The Cooper-Hewitt lights have never
been used before in making prize fight
pictures and thus the experiment Is
being watched with more than ordinary
Interest by electricians and photog
raphers all over the country. The
lights are being used extensively In
the eastern fnctories and other insti
tutions in which color values are not
Important.
Harry Miles of Miles Brothers, who
made the t«st last night, says that he
cannot tell until the pictures are de
velopod this morning whether it was
a success, but he believes that the
results will be all that has been hoped.

CHANGEB IN LOS ANGELES
"la the Coast line of the Southern
Pacific from San Francisco to Los An

That was tho question propounded
to Chief Clerk Ulnistead of the Ange
lus hotel yesterday.
The questioner was R. D. Kirby, ft
capitalist of Radner, Pa., who arrived
at the hotel yesterday accompanied by
Mrs. Kirby.
In 1895 Mr. Kirby visited California,
and at that, time he heard much
of the new road in course of construc
tion. The time has passed so quickly
for him that he did not realize that
the road has long been in operation.
"I never saw anything change like
this place," said Mr. Kirby. "When I
was in California the Coast line had
only reached from San Francisco to
San Jose and everyone was looking
forward to the time when it would be
finished.
"Los Angeles was not nearly such
a city as it is now, and if I had not
seen with my own eyes I would not
have believed it possible that a city
could grow so much in so short a time.
"Easterners have not any idea what
hustlers you people of the west are.
I am only hoping- for the usual beauti
ful Southern California sunshine, that
I may explore and see how the out
lying districts have grown."

WAS A VICTIM
OF CALUMNY
GEORGIA CAYVAN, ACTRESS,
KILLED BY SLANDER
Living a Life Above Reproach, She
Wai Dragged Into a Nasty Divorce
Bcandal, Though Innocent—Lost
Her Reason and Life
Spool il »r> The Tlrrnlrl.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.— According to the
Tribune, In the death "f Miss Georgia
Cnyvnn, formerly tho lending woman of
the Lyceum theater stock company, at
a sanitarium at Flushing, L. 1., where
she hns been a hopeless patient during
thl past six yenrs, terminated a
tragedy which Bhows how fur the
lotißiK. of one woman may fro In evil
work to ruin the life and destroy the
reason of another. For twenty years
the Idol of the public, which honored
her as much for the purity of her life
and tho Rtalnlcssness of her name, as
for the quality of her art, Miss Cay
vnn wan driven Insane and Is now dead
becnuso of a cruel and unjustified at
tack upon both.
Since the time when she was named
In the proceedings that separated Oli
ver Sumner Teall— known to all politi
cians in New York as "Ollle"— from his
wife, formerly Mias Florence Blssell of
Orang-e, N. J., the actress has been
a physical' and mental wreck. The case
was one of New York's most sensation
al divorce trials. The testimony offered
by the counsel for Mrs. Teall against
Mlsh Cayvan was entirely unfounded. A
discharged colored servant of Mr.
Teall's was the main witness for the
complainant, and the stories which he
told were proved to be a mass of lies.
When Miss Cayvan heard of the
charges she placed herself upon record
as the first woman to demand exonera
tion from such charges in the court
where she told her story — a thing never
before permitted a woman In her posi
tion. Before this the newspapers had
come to her aid. The Professional
Woman's league, the Mary Arden
Shakespeare club, Sorosis, the West
End club, the Woman's Republican
club, all of New York, defended her
with as deep a sincerity and earnest
ness as though the individual members
had been accused. Many of New York's
most prominent women publicly de
clared their belief in her Innocence.
But the mischeif had been done".
Though she was completely and pub
licly vindicated— Mrs. Teall's own law
yer apologizing In court for having per
mitted her name to be drugged Into
the case — Miss Cayvan's life was
wrecked, her nervous system shattered,
her hope and courage broken.
In the days of her highest success
she had attached more Importance to
her good name than to any other pos
session. She had held herself aloof
from associations that In any possible
manner could link her name with scan
dalous charges. That she should be
singled out as the object of venomous
jealousy after years of irreproachable
life In the heart of the gay metropolis
was one of those singular blows of fate
for which there seems no justification.
At the end of the trial she said: "I
want it all forgotten as soon as pos
sible, forgotten by the public. I myself
can never forget it."
Eag-er to rise above her troubles, she
accepted a New England manager's
offer to back her, formed a company of
her own and started a starring tour of
the states. Half way across the con
tinent her backer, suffering from heavy
losses, deserted her and left her to get
home as best she could. She returned
to New York, paid the company's debts
out of what she had saved and was
ordered by her physician to go abroad
for her health. On her return from this
trip she played ten nights in her last
play, which bore the significant title,
"A Woman's Silence," and then left the
stage forever.
For awile after that she lived quietly
at her home, 351 West One Hundred
and Twenty-second street, with her sis
ter, but her friends soon noticed that
something more than mere physical
breakdown was the trouble. Brooding
over the misfortune -which she had not
merited, her reason gave way, and in
1900 she was taken to Flushing, where
for the past six years she has been
hopelessly insane and so near actual
want that a few years ago a benefit
performance was arranged in her be
half.
* * *
Georgia Cayvan was born in Bath,
Me,, in 1858. From the time she was 14
years old she supported her sister and
mother, her father having died when
she was a child. At the time the Teall
scandal overwhelmed her she had saved
enough money to be protected from the
needa of old age. This her terrible ex
perience and subsequent failure took
from her. She was a graduate of the
Boston School of Oratory and for a long
time was well and favorably known as
a reader. When the "Pinafore"' wave
was sweeping over the country she ap
peared as Hebe In the production of the
Boston Ideal Opera company. About
this time Steele Mackaye was recon
structing the drama of the country, or
trying at least to set it upon a sound
and artistic basis. The Madison Square
theater had been built to show what a
model playhouse was like, and "Hazel
Kirke" was waiting to demonstrate
how long a' model play would run upon
the stage properly. A model Back com
pany was a necessary element to the
success of the project, and Mr. Mackaye
set about gathering together actors and
actresses capable of being trained ac
cording to his ideas. One of the mem
bers of the company he selected was
Miss Cayvan, and she made her pro
fessional debut as Dolly Dutton in
"lliizil Kirke."
Tho thorough training in her art
which she received at the Madison
Square theater developed .he talent
which) united with conscientious hard
work, gave her the position which she
so long filled as one of the country's
best known actresses, for though she
never rose to the highest sphere of
acting her work was always pleasing
and refined.
Having finished a, long, engagement
at the Madison Square theater, she
joined the California Theater stock
company in San Francisco later return
lng to the Madison Square theater, after
which she played for a time with Dion
Bouclcault. From 1887 till 1894 she was
the leading woman in Daniel Froh
man's Lyceum stock company, making
her first appearance at the Lyceum In
"The "Wife." Successively she took the
leading part in "Sweet Lavender,"
"The Charity Ball," "The „ Idler,"
"Nerves," ''Old Heads and Young
Hearts," "Americans Abroad," "The
Amazons" and "Squire I Kate." Her
lust work was done here, where she
was a co-member of the stock com
pany with Henry Miller, Herbert Kel
cey, Fritz Williams, Isabel Irving,
Elizabeth Tyree and other well-known
players. . ,
Though her best remembered work
was do/ie with the Lyceum stock, she
had, before Joining , It, created the
leading parts of T>« In "The White
Slave," Ham In ••Slberln," Pattle In
"Old Shipmates" and T.ura 11 "Ro
many Rye." Sh«> even took one short
flight In tragedy, playln* the principal
female role In "Oedipus Tyranmis,"
but her limited ability In thai direc
tion checked any ambitions she may
have had, and her work was confined
to th« mildly emotional plays of the
period.
A woman of Intelligence and refine

said:

Women, Does It so 'in possible for a
woman who has to simulate a varied
assortment of feelings every night to
be like the woman whose every emo
tion Is sincere and natural? A woman
of the stage must lay biire her heart
and soul before tho public In order to
present in perfection some type of
woman. The artificial is always dan
gerous to character, whether It is the
artificial in society or the artificial on
the stage. It Is almost menacing to
moral perception to bring the most
sacred Impulses of womanhood down
to the level of tho commonplace by
constant draft upon them. In every
other profession a woman may keep
inviolate the holy of holies of her in
dividuality. In this alone is the veil
rent, and a sacrlflci.il flame upon her
altar is lighted for the entertainment
of the public. They little realize wh;it
it costs her.
"There is an old story of a dancer
who wore about her neck a precious
chain of pearls as she came before the
king; in the midst of the dance the
chain parted, and the pearls were
scattered beneath her flying feet. How
was he to step the measures so gayly
that the king should never know her
care, nor the handsome courtiers smil
Ing lightly down, nor the gentle ladles
looking on in languid grace, and yet
never crush a single snow-white pearl,
while the cymbals clashed and tho wild,
glad music sounded madder and mer
rier, and the witchery of the dance
dulled her fear and deadened her cau
tion? The exceptional woman of ex
ceptional breeding may, when tho
court pageant has passed, count her
pearl chain and find it all complete,
even as those which home-guarded
women wear bo proudly. Will you re
member what It costs? Will you think
of the danger — a moment of forgetful
ness, a careless step, will you help us
by understanding vs — help us with
we crush our pearls?"

When Mrs. Teall. blinded by jeal
ousy, falsely accused the woman whose
name was so dear to her she was* deaf
to the appeal which lies in these
words.
In another paragraph of the address
she said, speaking of stage women:
"A serious obstacle to the develop
ment of the atftress, and one which
Is peculiar to America, is this: The
personality of the artist is ever made
paramount to her art. For the pub
lic Is curious, and the press must per
force satisfy their curiosity. In this
respect the press reflects the demands
of its readers, as the stage reflects the
taste of its audiences.
"Perhtips the greatest injustice of
the public toward this woman, to whom
it looks for its happiest recreation, in
this insatiable curiosity concerning the
smallest detail of her private life,
which results In culpable carelessness
in circulating sensational and un
founded rumors, and equally culpa
ble credence In accepting without any
investigation any extravaganza of the
penny-a-liner's fancy. The player is
accused of seeking notoriety, when it
is notoriety that seeks the player. We
receive letters of interrogation in

ticles — 'When, where and how do you
sew?' 'Aro you afraid of mice?' 'What
do you want for Christmas?" 'What
kind of a dog do you prefer?' — as If
private preference in such matters had
any bearing on dramatic art."
When "Ollie" Teall. met Georgia
Cayvan she was a gracious, successful
woman, glowing with health. He was
rich and popular. He had graduated
from Yale and then gone west and
roughed it. There he organized a cat
tle and mining company, sold the
bonds in New York and so became
wealthy. He was a lawyer by pro
fession and dabbled in politics. After
his introduction to Miss Cayvan he was
treated with the same genial, unaf
fectodness of manner that marked her
manner toward other men. He ad
mired hor as many others did. He
was invited to her home and dined
with her family. That was all. But
though he did his utmost to defend
her from the unfair blow struck by his
wife his efforts were futile and Georgia

Into Forty.four Portions and
Carry Them Away
CLEVELAND, Ohio Nov. 26.— A mer
ry war Is waging in the United Evun
gelica'church, Carlyle avenue, grawlng
out of a $5000 debt which the church
carries. Because it has been unable to
pay the interest and to support a pastor
since last February the trustees of the
church and the diocesan conference
havo decided to sell the building.
There was little objection to this, but
when the trustees voted to give the
silver pl;iii- used In the sacrament ser
vices to Trinity United Evangelical
church and ordered the church mem
bers to leave all furnishings intact un
til a vote of church members could be
had In regard to their disposal, there
was rebellion. Twenty-four women,
composing: the ladles' society, ! openly
rebelled. One of the four trustees. Gott
lieb Kohls, and his wife sided with
them. The society had given $100 worth
of furnishings in carpets, rugs and cur
tains.
lgnoring the trustees' order to leave
the furnishings alone, the women met
at the church and held a tearlng-up
bee of ruga, carpets and curtain. Scis
sors were used and the carpets and
rugs fell into twenty-four sections, one
for each of the society.
"These things belong to the members
of the society," they said. "The Idea of
those trustees telling the society what
ltI It shall do with Its own things. We'll
show them."
And the rollcall book was produced
to make sure that each woman took her
proper share. Then they marched away
in triumph, each bearing her portion.
