IN GALA ATTIRE.
Unique Plans for Decorating This
City Chautauqua Week.
This city is surely to be in gala attire
Chautauqua Weds, according to plans
now being perfected at the Redpath
Chautauqua headquarters in Chicago.
Last year in all places where Redpath
Chaut&uquas were held nine peunant
streamers spanned the business streets.
This year the number will be increased
to fifteen and in addition the streamers
are much larger than heretofore.
Three hundred small banners for use
on awoings and the like are also being
sent to each city.
There will be a general supply of
cloth pennants for the autos. In many
towns these will be used first in an
automobile "booster" trip around the
county.
A neat and unique pennant printed
on good paper in blue and orange col
ors and bearing the words: "This borne
believes in the Redpath Chautauqua,"
will be furnished for the windows of the
homes ten days in advance of the com
ing of the Chautauqua. The pennant
measures two feet in lecglh and is ten
inches wide at the top. In the fore
ground is a typical Chautauqua tent,
filled with people.
The number of pennants will be lim
ited to 500 in each town. This pen
nant is very appropriate inasmuch as
tlio Chautauqua is an institution which
appeals directly to the homes of a com
munity, On the opening day1 of the Chautau
qua, tags will be hung on the door
knobs of each home and also on the
harnesses of the horses on the streets.

Nashville, Tenn., April 27. A new
tangle has arisen over the Reelfoot Lake
situation. Recently the State purchased
a portion of the lake from the West
Tennessee Land Company, and now J.
C. Burdick, of Obion County, turns up
witlra lease which he says does not ex
pire until 1917, and which he says was
made by the land company prior to the
sale of the property to the State. At
. torney-General F. M. Thompson and
Attorney J. H. Barr told the governor
they did not think the lease valid, and
they have been asked to take the mat
ter up at once as litigation has been in
stituted at Union City.

Central Railroad, was arrested here on
the charge of taking $180 from abetter
sent by the postmaster at Dukedom,
Tenn., to the postmaster at Paducah,
Ky., on April 21. At the Fulton trans
fer office last week Childers picked up
the letter and, remarking that it was
unsealed, sealed it up. When it reached
its destination the money was gone.
Postoffice Inspector Ashton had Child
ers shadowed on his run from Fulton to
Jackson, Miss., and return. He used a
$20 bill, and when arrested had about
$40 on his person. There were in the
letter that was robbed nine $20 bills.
Childers is unmarried, has been in the
service several months, is worth $10,000,
is an Elk and has borne heretofore an
unsullied reputation. Postoffice Inspec?

the charge.

"THE MYSTERIES OF THflHATOS"
A Brilliant and Thrling Production With Many
Beautiful Scaiis Effects, Striking Situations,
Wonderful Illusions and Divertisements.
'-. x " 7t : " 2 - ' ..,. ..... . . it
Nashville's great Greek drama pageant, "The Fire Regained," given in tha
.spring of last year, was notably successful and entranced many thousands of
Spectators, it will te followed this year witn anoiner rnagnmteni yruuumu
alike original and unusual as a popular festival of entertainment. ,W
i ne new production is entuiea, -jne iviycnc vi i iuu.iuj, vj i" f
M. Hirsch, the author of "The Fire Regained," and is devised to give the amp.'
opportunity for scenic effects, symphony u movement, exciting situations ana
bewildering illusions.
The story of the drama, which Is the Nisis of the brilliant and Imposing
spectacular, illustrates the power of love and the ultimate triumph of virtue over
evil. The opening scene is a beautiful pastoral, In which a shepherd youtli
with a lambkin in his arms, and leading a flock of sheep, comes Into the sacred
grove and prostrates himself before a statue of Aphrodite, the goddess of Love,
imploring her to bestow upon him a bride. - 1
A spell comes over him and he falls asleep. He is surrounded by dancing
wood nymphs, one of whom kisses him. He awakes and claims her as his
bride. But before the rejoicing company can depart, the goddess Athene
appears and curses the youth and his bride for failing to do her proper honor.
Demons rush out of the forest and after a conflict overpower and bind the
youth and carry his bride away to the underworld. The shepherd succeeds in
freeing himself from his bonds and appeals to the statue, which suddenly be
comes a living beauty. Aphrodite tells him that if he can successfully undergo
certain ordeals of purification ha may enter the underworld and essay to re
cover his lost bride. '
He determines to undertake the ordeals, and It is In undergoing these
strange and mysterious trials and tests that the stirring Incidents and thrilling
scenes of the spectacular drama are produced, with the varied special features
of the entertainment. ' .
These ordeals and struggles include the approach to the temple through
mystical fires, the water test, the entombment and resurrection, the aerial trial,
with Its flight of a thousand doveS; the trial of Skill and Speed In the furious
chariot races, and the tests of Courage and Prowess In the fierce combats with
the Demon and the Serpent. The climax is reached when the youth finally
wins back his bride In a heroic struggle on the roof of the Parthenon.
Throughout the performance there will be many beautiful movements and
groupings in costume, group dancing and specialty dancing, chorus singing,
drill exhibitions, etc. Besides the, leading participants, there will be wood
nymphs, graces, sprites, Grecian maidens, warriors, priests and priestesses,
monks, demons, funeral servitors, athletes and runners, etc., making, a com
pany of many hundreds of performers. The spectacular will have the splendid
environment of beautiful Centennial park, with the famous Parthenon, the
temple of Athene, as the stage background.
Arrangements have been made for the seating of five thousand persons at
each performance. Every seat will have a full and unobstructed viw. The,
prices for seats will be 50' cents, JM. 00 and fl.SO. Reservation for Jl.00 and
1.50 seats can be secured for any night by mailing the price to the Vendome
theater. .
Reduced rates have been secured on all railroad lines coming Into Nashville.
The rate to visitors to the pageant will be one fare, plus 25 cents, for the '
found trip. ' ,
