10 WEDDING BELLS FOR GREAT SINGER
All Married People Cavalieri Knows Are Most Unhappy People.
MR. CHANLER REAL NICE
BUT THEN IF SHE MARRIED HIM,
YOU KNOW, HE MIGHT INSIST THAT SHE QUIT STAGE AND SING TO HIM.
STARTLES SOCIETY BY HER ECCENTRIC GOWNS
The Clayson Family Quartet, at the Murray this week.
The Golden Girl. The attraction at the Gennett theater on Saturday for a matinee and night, is "The Golden Girl," Chicago's pet musical Hhow, which, has proven a. golden treasure to its producer, Mort H. Sinjrer, for after a highly
successful run of a whole season at :
its birthplace, it has been sweeping all before it from a financial and artistic point of view, since goinK on tour. Econiums from the press in every city visited are most lauditory in their praise of its merits and pronounce it by far the best effort of that versatile trio. Hough, Adams and Howard, who have won an enviable reputation for their many successes in the musical comedy field. For the most part "The Golden Girl" is made up of conceits, ably exploited and elaborated to an obvious degree. In fact, if any fault can be found with these amiable authors, it's the indefatigable way they utilize every opportunity for life, color and effects. This fault,
eo called, is shown in the finale of the i
second act, when a shimmering shower of gold covers the stage, fairly daz-
strength and agility. The Clayson family quartet in selections of vocal and instrumental music will prove popular features of this week's bill.
Eight Bells. The Brothers Byrne's 'Eight Bells" chime forth their familiar tidings from the stage of the Gennett tonight. The entire production has been remodeled so that it will scarcely be recognized in the new form. It is quite superfluous to say that the alterations add to the general merit of the production. The plot remains much as it was, but the specialties introduced at short intervals are entirely new and pleasing. The Byrne Brothers remain to give life and action to every scene. The third act is almost entirely new. The curtain rises upon a rustic scene in a Parisian park. In the background are the acrobats posing as statues. Their antics are very amusing. The originality of the performance and the diversities of its specialties are sure to fill the house.
MARIE FLYNN In "The Golden Girl" at the Gennett Saturday, Feb. 26, matinee and night.
zling the eye and bewildering the senses with the brilliancy of the sun's rays shining on the polished brass. The lines of the play are written in the author's happiest vein, and bubblo with sparkling wit and snappy epigrams. The story in the main tells of the plight of a young girl in the choice of lovers, both being West Toint cadets (where the scenes are laid), for one of tfiem is wealthy and the other poor. In a dream, she sees herself as the golden girl, with untold wealth, and yet she is unhappy. AVhen she awakes she realizes that it is the poor chap she really loves, and marries him. Other stories developed in the plot bring out much corned', especially the dream, or rather the nightmare of the poor cadet who has often told of his distinguished ancestors. They appear to him as convicts, pirates, anarchists and sneak thieves. At the Murray. Fred Lawrence, who has organized the splendid company that is so ably presenting the playlette "The Light" at the Murray theater this week, is an invalid. The story of his life should be known by everyone who attends the theater this week. The Chapman Sisters and Pick furnish comedy for the bill this week and also do some lively singing and dancing. Pick is said to be the funniest colored boy in vaudeville and the impression he is making on the patrons of the Murray seems to warrant that reputation. The La Croix, European Novelty Gymnasts present a number of feats of
More Talent Secured. The large chorus to be seen in the Y. M. C. A. Minstrels at the Gennett on March 1 and 2, is rapidly reaching perfection under the personal direction of Richmond's best known musical director. The management has also secured the services of two of the finest tenors In this part of the country. They will render several high class selections, which, interspersed with the coon songs and eccentric dancing will make the first part of the show a fitting opening for the scream that is to follow in the last half. The seat sale will open at the box office Friday morning.
New York, Feb. 22. 'I do not know,' smiled Mnie. Lina Cavalieri when asked by a reporter if she was going to marry Robert Chanler, millionaire grandson of John Jacob Astor. "Yes, Mr. Chanler asked me," she continued, in rapid French. "He asked me one beautiful day in the park in an automobile three weeks ago. But three weeks is a vry short time to decide about ones lifetime. And I have not yet decided. "Mr. Chanler is very nice, very kind, very good. - I like him as much as any man I know. He is very rich, too, and that is a nice thing. The money a man has is a part of him. Though, of course, with me it makes not so much difference as with some poor girl who cannot sing for money as I can. Chanler is an Artist. "And Mr. Chanler paints beautiful pictures. He says ho will paint me in a crimson velvet robe, with all my jewels. I should like to have Mr. Chanler do that, but I do not know whether I should like to have him in any me. "It is very pleasant the way it is. I drive with Mr. Chanler, I ride with Mr. Chanler, I sing to Mr. Chanler, I dine with Mr. Chanler. Others, too, of course, but much with Mr. Chanler. "Then why can he not be satisfied V Why can he not be glad always to tare for me and not for marriage? Bah! It's an ugly word. All the married people I know are unhappy. "And it is so stupid to marry and
! spend all the time and money getting ! a divorce, when you need not have
been married. "I should not want to stop singing in public. I love it; it makes other people happy and makes them love me. Why should I stop? And it earns so much so much money! Perhaps Mr. Chanler wouldn't want me to sing to anybody but himself if we were to get married. I have not asked him, but I know some men are like that when they are husbands. "He is a nice man, and I am honored, but I don't know yet."

STRANGER JTHAN FICTION (American News Service) San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 2 A case stranger than was ever pictured in fiction, is that of William I. Browne of this city, who, a short time ago, was released from the Southwestern Insane asylum on an order from County Judge Phil Shook, based on illegal restraint of liberty. After having spent nearly twelve years in the asylum Browne today is once more a free agent and a millionaire. About twelve years ago the man, upon recommendation of Dr. Miquel Barragon, Mexican consul at Brownsville, was consigned to the asylum, without proper process of law or adequate examination. Browne at the time is alleged to have teen a heavy drinker and it is thought that the effects of this habit made his incarceration possible. During a recent hearing of his case it developed that his wife was a willing party to his transfer to the institution and that during the many years he was confined she did nothing to aid him in getting his release, although she admitted having her doubts as to his mental status. A sister and brother of the man seem to have shown the same indifference and it was not until Browne succeeded in interesting C. M. Chambers, A. B. Cowen and others of this city in his case, that he secured action in his behalf. When taken before the county judge he answered many perplexing questions in the most rational way and thereupon was restituted to the status of a sane man. While comparatively poor at the time of his incarceration .the death of his father shortly afterwards gave him
a share in a great deal of valuable property. In the course of time this has increased in value to an extent that will easily make him at least a millionaire. His share in his father's will, as well as the property he owned, were taken possession of by his broth
er, James I. Browne, and his sister.
Mrs. Carolina de San Roman, both of Brownsville. Texas. Whether Browne after his release threatened them with a law suit or not. his lawyers would not state, but they signified their intention to come to San Antonio and do whatever the law requires. C. M. Chambers, counsel for Mr. Browne, has since the latter's release, searched the county court records for documents bearing on the case, but so far not a trace of any has been found. It appears that the county clerk at that time simply signed the commitment papers without even keeping a copy of these.
A Famous Cypress Tree. A cypress tree to lie seen near Oaxaca, in Mexico, is, according to a writer in the Wide World Magazine, believed to be the largest in circumference of any in existence. It measures 104 feet round the trunk at a height of ICO feet, and twenty-seven people holding hands can just encircle it. The tree has stood for mauy centuries, and part of its trunk has commenced to decay from sheer old age. A writer of a statistical turn of mind has 'estimated that the tree and its branches must weigh something like 1,300 tons.
Mrs. Edwin Y. Webb, the wife of Representative Webb of North Carolina, who has startled society at the capital with her eccentric gowns. The picture shows her in a unique confection of pine apple fibre, made in the Philippines. Mrs. Webb is noted for her original costumes and has more than once made Washington society take notice.
Women's Curiosity In a Shoeshop. "Women are proverbially furious," said the shoe salesman, "but 1 think they show it more in a shop of this sort than anywhere else. At times it's hard to get a customer's attention, she's so busy watching what the women on either side are buying. And when a sale is completed and a woman walks out with her new boots on. watch th3 others. Every eye is fixed on the newly clad feet, and if the wearer happens to be smartly dressed there'll be a sudden demand from the others to be shown shoes of the same type. I think it's for that reason that women are so particular about not having holes in their stockings when ttKbuy shoes. Men don't seem to care.' New York Sun.
THE MIGHTY HUNTER AND HIS SON KERMIT DELIGHT THE SISTERS AT THE NSAMBYA MISSION RECENTLY.
New York, Feb. 22. That Theodore Uoosevelt and his son Kermit are doing other things in Africa besides hunting was shown in a letter received by the editor of the Catholic Light at Syracuse, N. Y., which came from Mother Mary Paul, a Roman Catholic Sister now stationed at the Nsambya Mission in Uganda. Th Sister, prior to becoming a nun, was Miss Mary Murphy, of this city. Besides telling of the reception given Mr. Roosevelt, the Sisicr also informs Americans that "Bwana Tumbo" is not the only name given the for
mer chief executive by the natives of the jungle, but that he is also known by the more euphonic title, "Musta Wa Kissa." which, translated, means "Man of Kindness." In part. Sister Mary Paul's letter reads: "On December 21 Mr. Roosevelt visited the Nsambya Mission at Uganda, Africa. Mr. Roosevelt arrived at Eulde, Africa, on December 20 and a telegram was sent inviting him to lunch with the sisters of the mission, which he accepted. "Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermit first visited Provisional Commissioner F. A. Knowles, Esq.. at Kampala. "Mr. Roosevelt was due at the mission at 11 o'clock. Ijis Lordship, Right Rev. Bishop Harlon, attended by
; his priests and Prince Joseph and the
Sisters, with Mother Mary Paul and ' the children and women, turned out i In goodly numbers to greet Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermit. There were i also two bands present, one from the boys' school at Namilyango and one from Kamluo. The Gamluo boys walked 0." miles to. get there. The day was
perfect, and the whole hill was decorated with flags and palms. "Up the hill came four runners, who had been sent to watch when the rickshaws turned toward Nsambya. Breathlessly they arrived to say, "They
are coming T" In a few minute? th first rickshaw came in sight, with Mr. Roosevelt and the Provisional Commissioner. Mr. Knowles. 'Introductions and handshakes folowed. and Mr. Roosevelt replied when Mother Mary Paul said to him that it was so kind of him to call. "'Kindr Why pitchforks wouldn't have kept me away. In fact. I would have been afraid to go to the States if 1 hadn't come to see you. "His first visit was to the missiou. which was considered a great honor by the Sisters. The Queen Sister. ho ranks next to the king, was at the mission to greet Mr. Roosevelt. He shook hands with the Queen Sister, as he did when bidding Prince Joseph good-by. The Bazanda were delighted by Mr. RoosevelCs-courtesy, and the Musta Wa Kissa tMan of Kindness won all hearts. "The process of bark clothes making Interested him immensely. Then he visited St. Elizabeth's Infirmary and the school. The children were in the classes at work, mat weaving, making, cutting, cord making and basket making."
Stag Superstitions. An umbrella opened on the stage is supposed to bring bad luck, and many actors would hesitate about wearing new shoes on the first night of a play. The evil effect of new shoes are said, however, to be averted by, wearing them on the wrcng feet. In fact, any player who makes this mistake in the hurry of dressing regards It as a good omen not to be disturbed. Whistling on the stage during rehearsals is believed to insure a frost on tbe night of production, and in operatic circles a yellow clarinet in the orchestra is held to bring about the same dire result.

Sinking Spells Every Few Days "At the time 1 began taking Dr. Miles Heart Remedy I was having sinking spells every few days. My hands and feet voull get cold; I could scarcely breathe, and could feel myself gradually sinking away until I would be unconscious. Those about me could not tell there was life in me. After these spells I would be very weak and nervous, sleepless and without appetite: had neuralgia in my head and heart. After taking the remedy a short time all this disappeared and in a few weeks all the heart trouble was gone. MRS. 1.1ZZIK IVUXTKR .v1-- 3ll Ave. Kvansville, Ind.
