HELD PASTOR Oil A BIGAMY CHARGE

First Two Wives of Rev. White Are Said to Be Local Women. H. NOT KNOWN IN RICHMOND DIVINE LANDED BEHIND BAR8 AT MARION A3 THE RESULT8 OF THE EFFORT OF THIRD WIFE, MICHIGAN WOMAN. Marion, Ind., Nor. 8. The Rev. Harlan White, 56 years old, three times married, who deserted his third wife at Newaygo, Mich., two weeks ago after drawing $600 of her money from the bank and went on a visit to his second wife at Osgood, Ind., was ar rested . in Marion, his former home. Saturday, and less than an hour later confessed that he is a bigamist, and upon arraignment before City Judge Marshall Williams pleaded guilty to the charge. The confessed bigamist admitted that he had spent the third wife's money in going to Osgood to visit his second wife and also in buying presents for the lattei. Some of the third wife's money also had been spent in buying a suit of clothes for himself. When taken to the police station he had $520 In greenbacks tucked away In his hip pocket and he turned over this money to wife No. 3, who had fol lowed him from the Michigan town and confronted him with having neg lected to get a divorce from .wife No, before leading her to the altar. . "Goodie" She Cried. "Goodie," said Mrs. White No. gleefully when she saw that the man she had known as her husband sine? last February was in the toils. "Come and see me; won't you, Jen Hie?" pleaded White as he was led from the police station to jail, where he remains in default of bond. "No. indeed. I've seen enough of you already." retorted his third wife with .anger. When first taken before the super intendent of police White denied that he was a bigamist and he admited to only on previous marriage. He at first said that his brother, J. C. White of Richmond, had informed him that Rosa Hudson White, who lives at Osgood, Ind., had. obtained a divorce, and that It was upon, the strength of his brother's statement that he married Jennie Flefieid White, who is his third wife. White finally admitted that he has three living wives. He says, however, that he was divorced from his first wife at Richmond, Ind., twenty years ago. Wife No. 1 is Rebecca White, who Is now living with her daughter, Mrs. Pearl B. Galton, and son, Rosewell White, at 2816 Cornell avenue. Indianapolis. White's third marriage was rather romantic. He was a speaker at streetcorner meetings of the Salvation Army at Valparaiso, Ind., when he met Jennie Fiefield. a widow, who had just fallen heir to an estate left by her husband. White, Just for accommodation, he says, married her to take care of her estate. Returns Part of Cash. White turned over $520 to wife No. 3 while at the police station, but she charged that the amount he had taken was considerable more than he admit ted. "No. I didn't. I am willing that God strike me dead if I took more money than I say I did." said White in a soft, kindly voice. "He'll do It, and where will you go if he does? You are the biggest liar that God ever let walk," snapped Mrs, White. White then charged that his wife had once thrown a hatchet at him. striking him on the finger, and that she also bombarded him with a pair of scissors, a hammer and a few oth er things. "Yes, I did hit you on the hand with. a hatchet, and my only regret is that it did not strike you in the head," said Mrs. White as she shook her fist in White's face, and she added: wouldn't be surprised if I am not your fourth or fifth wife. You'll have to go to prison, and yon won't get a chance very soon to get another widow's money." It is probable that White will be returned to Michigan, from which state he will be sentenced. The local courts, It is considered, do not have Jurisdiction in his case. IS NOT KNOWN HERE. Rtv. Harlan Whit is Not a Richmond Man. A careful investigation was made by the Palladium to ascertain the identity of the Rev. Harlan White, but none of the White's living in this city appear to know him. It is stated in the above dispatch that White's first two wives were Richmond women. No. 1, now living at Indianapolis and No. 2 at Osgood, Ind., but according to the best information they have no rela tions living Here.

Characten (torn "Graustark."Scene from Graustark, at the Gennett. "Moulin Rouge Girls." Boys, "The Moulin Rouge Girls" will be here next Thursday and Friday nights at the Phillips theater, and for real spicy burlesque, this Is the limit in fun and gaiety, and you don't want to mig8 it lts pretty girls and funny comedians, and up-to-date burlettas. There is sure to be plenty ol good wholesome laughter, not forgetting that novelty from Paris entitled Shadows." Among those who will take part and help to send the boys home in good humor is Milton Shuster, that funny little Jew, Jack Sutter, the long lean comedian, Al Belford, the Rolley Poley Boy, May Burns, a dainty little queen, Maud Gray, the girl from Gay Paree and Mile Orletta the sen sational feature in the Parisian novel ty, "Shadows." "Under Southern Skies." The fate of a new play is always anx iously awaited by everyone concerned in its production. For it is a well known fact that the success or failure of a play can never be positively determined until the public has a chance to pronounce a verdict. Many plays produced with high hopes and often at great expense do not meet with popular success and are quickly shelved. When a play lives through seven seasons and enters upon an eighth, with crowded houses greeting it everywhere, there can be no doubt that it has efectually caught the fancy of the theatre-going public. Such a play is Lottrs Blair Parker's picturesque drama, "Under Southern Skies." Few plays of southern life have won such popularity as "Under Southern Skies" which will be the theatrical offering at the Gennett tonight. "Your Humble Servant." One of the greatest favorites to Richmond audiences is Otis Skinner and his coming engagement at the Gennett theater next week in his new play "Your Humble Servant," will be looked forward to as one of the big treats of the year. Mr. Skinner is con sidered by many to be the leading Burdens Lifted From Richmond Backs Relief Proved by Lapse of Time. Bachache is a heavy burden; Nervousness wears one out; Rheumatic pain; urinary ills; All are kidney burdens Daily effects of kidney weakness. No use to cure the symptoms, Relief is but temporary if the cause remains. Cure the kidneys and you cure the cause. Relief comes quickly comes to stay. Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney ills; Prove it by your neighbor's case. Here's Richmond testimony. The story of a permanent cure. David Hershey, 316 S. Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I was troubled for some time by kidney complaint and the various medicines I used did not help me. Often I was hardly able to straighten on account of the sharp, cutting pains across the small of my back and the least exertion or any cold I contracted caused the kidney secretions to pass too frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store cured me and at that time, I publicly endorsed them. I now gladly confirm what I then said as I still firmly believe that Doan's Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy for kidney disorders. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co..

American Actor and adds new laurels to his already large crown at each fresh appearance in Richmond. At the Murray. The management of The Murray theatre is prepared this week with a vaudeville bill that is sure to break all previous house attendance. For many weeks an endeavor has been made to secure the famous Rennee family and they have at last been obtained and are going to appear this week at this theater. This family consists of father, mother and three children. They are all wonderfully adapted to music and their six different acts in which they completely change costumes and scenes 5s interesting to the extreme. Tnev first appear as Italian street singers, then French peasants, Swiss peasants, Hungarian gypsies and as a grand finale, United States soldiers in full Needed the Prayers. A sympathetic old clergyman in an English country village was waited on one Sunday morning just before service by a young man, who said: "Will you kindly ask the congregation's prayers this morning for poor William Smith?" "Willlnsrlv." said the clergyman. And at the proper moment in the i ervlce he besought all those present to Drav earnestly for the unfortunate ! i William Smith in the great trouble and peril that encompassed him. The request, he was pleased to note, made n deep impression on the congregation. After the service, meeting the young man who had asked for intercession In Smith's behalf, the clergyman said: "What is the matter with your friend? Do you think it would do any good if I were to call on him?" "I'm afraid not," was the sorrowful reply. "Is it so bad as that?" said the clergyman. "What is the trouble, then?" "Bill," said the other. "Is going to be married." We Build the Ladder by Which We Rise Heaven Is not reached at a single hound. But we build the ladder by which we rise Prom the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to Its summit round by round. I count this thins to be grandly true That a noble deed is a step toward God. Lifting- the soul from the common clod To a purer air and broader view. J. G. Holland. Archie Stood Her Test. I know Archie does not drink," confided Mrs. Pike to her sister "that is, anything stronger than a glass of beer on a hot day or maybe a hot whisky when he has a cold. I made up my mind to test him. I bare always said I would never live with a man who drank, so I prepared a test. "I went down the street to a liquor store and bought a box containing a bottle of whisky, a bottle of madeira wine and a bottle of brandy, all for $1, In the prettiest little box. Then I surprised him with it for his birthday, and I tell you he was surprised when he saw it and more so when I confessed that I had only paid S 1 for the bargain. "Archie promised me solemnly that he would never taste the horrid stuff. and, although I have kept it handy in bis study ever since and watched it anxiously every day, he has kept his word. Oh, I am so glad!" Puck. ji He Knew the Reason. ' A rather pompous looking deacon in a certain city church was asked to take charge of a class of boys during the absence of the regular teacher. While endeavoring to Impress upon their young minds the Importance of living a Christian life the following question was propounded: "Why do people call me a Christian, children? the worthy dignitary asked, standing very erect and smiling down upon them. "Because they don't know you," was the ready answer of a bright eyed little bey, responding to the ingratiating smile with one equally guileless and winning. Upplncott's Magazine. fToo Rare. A party of easterners went bear Irantlng In Cattfornia. Pete Wilson led the party, and day and night he boasted of bis skill as a bear killer. They got no bear on the hunt, and Pete grieved terribly. "This is good enough grub." he iwooid say as he pitched into a cold can of preserved meat, "but the finest meal in the world, in my opinion, is a bear steak grilled to a turn over a log fire." "Otome bear," Pete growled, one day. "Gimme a good bear brile. Fn getttn' sick of this canned staff." ; "Look out!" cried a neighbor. "There's a bear right behind yon, man! 1 Pete gave one look. It was a bear, are enough. He turned very pale and bounded off into the woods.

uniform. Another strong drawing card for this bill is the announcement that Roy Peck, formerly of this city, will appear with Harris and Peck in "The Minstrel Boys." Mr. Peck is well known in this city and it is expected that his appearance on vaudeville' stage for the first time in this city, will be much appreciated by the public Handson and Drew will appear with their original rural comedy,

"The Village Bill Poster." They are carrying the laughing end of the bill and judging from their reputation they are well able to do it. ; The WebbRomalo Troupe are the acrobats this week. Their clever work can only be fully appreciated when seen. "The Matinee Idol." 1 When De Wolf Hopper went over the country last year playing to jammed houses Marc Antony in the Lamb's Gambol, very few people knew that his vehicle this year would reveal hlra in the part of a broken down tragedian. Hopper, in Antony, showed that he could play serious parts, and in his new play, "A Matinee Idol,' which comes to the Gennett on Saturj day, he shows that he can see the hu mor or the tragedian on ana on m stage, and that despite his dip Into the serious side of acting, he still loves to sins a eood sons and still enjoys a hearty laugh. actor;" stuffing the money in nls poc et; "my name Is not on the bill for to night anyway." His Interpolation. Colonel J. F. Barton, who died in Alabama In lfsi, was famous years ago In the middle west as an editorial writer of great power and versatility. The queer thing about him was that his normal penmanship looked almost like copperplate a beautiful flowing script. But let him get excited or hurried, and it doubled discounted the excited chicken tracks on Cleopatra's Needle. One night a tramp printer drifted into a western office where the colonel was in charge and applied fot a job. The foreman put him to work, and he pegged along all right until Just before the hour for going to press. wnen arton sent in a nurry up euitoriai Da sea on a laie news leiegrain. Nearly all the printers had left, so the ! new man got a piece of the copy, a page from about the middle. He carried it to his case, looked at it frownlngly, turned it upside down, looked at it again and finally put it in position before him and began to scratch up type. "Read that in your sticks!" yelled the foreman. "We ain't got time for proofs!" And when the new man carried his matter over it was "dumped" into the forms without further ceremony. What he had set up ran about like this: "The merchant who wrote the copy I have before me is responsible for my fate. No human being can read It He cannot, read it himself. Tonight I shall jump a freight and as I am somewhat shaky from recent Jags will probably fall off and be killed. My blood be on his head." This remarkable paragraph, appearing without rhyme or reason in the middle of Barton's brilliant editorial, astonished the readers of the paper next morning. When the colonel himself recovered sufficiently to get a club and dash down to the office the tramp printer had vanished. The Least He Could Do. A particularly homely man was riding on horseback along a country lane. Presently he met a lady, also mounted, and drew to one side to allow her to pass. She also checked her horse and looked the man over in a curious way. Finally she said "Well, I believe you are the homeliest man I ever saw!" "Yes, madam," he replied, "but I cannot help it." "No, 1 suppose not," she said, "but you might at least stay at home." What's In a NamoT Josephine Dodge Daskam (Mrs. Ba con), the authoress, was at a seaside resort one summer. While reading some manuscript on the beach one day a puff of wind carried one of the sheets toward the water. A young artist, a total stranger, who was near by, made a dash for the flying paper and as he almost reached it stumbled and pitched headforemost into the surf. As he regained the beach, limp and dripping, be growled through his set teeth, "Josephine Dodge Daskam, Josephine Dodge Daskam!" The authoress, who came up to him at that moment, gazed in amazement at the forlorn looking figure for a sec ond and then said in a tone of sympa thy, "Do yon know Josephine Dodge Daskam?" The young man turned a fine red and said sheepishly, "No; I don't know her from Adam, but I've read a lot of her stories, and I always say her name when I want to swear and can't. Het name is the nearest thing to swearing without being swearing that I ever ran across. 8trotg en System.
