INTENTIONALLY RELATED TO THE PROBES
SION.
The New York World prints communication
from young man employed as first assistant
bookkeep in a stock brokers Office in that
city who is very much attached to young lady
member of the Casino company, and wants adj
vice as TO whether he shall propose marriage to
her or not The World says in reply: 50 Perhaps
the best thing for him to do is to carefully study
this veraeious account of actresses husbands
which is herewith set forth for popular infor-
nation and interest. 1t is pitiful end in life,
after ALL to be labelled as Miss So-and-So's hus-
band'-the highest title to which most gentle
men of that variety may aspire"
MAGGIE MITCHELL.
Take for example, the husband of Miss Mag
gle Mitchell, one of the ladies who have
illuminated the stage with pure womanlness
and an honest domesticity. The husband of Miss
Mitchell is Mr.. Henry I. Paddock. bright.
genial, kindly and enterprising gentleman who
has merged himself so thoroughly in the per-
sOnality of his wife that nobody outside of her
profession knows him. Mr.. Paddock is a hand
some man and quick-wittcd one. When he mar
red his wife. thirteen or fourteen years ago. he
controlled an excellent business as halter in
Cleveland. Better educated than most COM
mercial men, with an unusual good humor, q
ready wit and COmey face and figure, he
might and no doubt would have achieved fame
and fortune on his own account. He married
Miss MitChell-and. by the way. there is not a
happier or kindlier couple in the world-and his
entity completely disappeared in that of the
charming and clever little actress. His child
ren-a pretty girl and All unusually bright boy
perfOrce regard him as their mothers husband.
The tendency OF his intmat IS is to do homage
to his wife as the brcad-winner. forgetting his
own ariiuOuS responsibilities and the zeal and
intelligence with which he promotes her per-
sonal and professional fortunes
ROSE EYTINGE.
Rose Eytinge is married to an actor. tall,
clever. shOulder-hitting Englishman named Cy-
ril Searle. His and her children by former mar
riaTes are at school together in England, and
Mr.. Searle is fond of one as he is of the other
A more devoted and enthusiastic husband it
would be hard to find. He has in fact given
up paying engagements in London to be with
his wife and attend to her professional specula-
tons IN America.
ANNIE PIXLEY.
Miss Annie Pixley. very brilliant and rising
actress, is also happy wife and mother. Her
husband is Robert Fulford, an extremely good
looking. dark and yvacious English Canadian.
Mr.. Fulford used to be an actor He has also
been a journalist of no mean renOwn in CalifOr-
MA. But when he took to managing his wife
business his individuality disappeared as COM
pletely as II he changed his name and residence.
NINE. JANAUsCHEK

heard Of-Outside her profession. Yet she is
married to iIr. Pilot who occupies TO his wife
the unseen yet useful relation which keel does

MINNIE PALMER.
Minnie Palmer has not confessed her marriage
yet. but it Is generally understood among actors
that she is the wife of her manager Il vivacious
blOnd-bearded little gentleman named Rogers
So far Mr.. Rogers has enjoyed a distinct indi-
yidualty. thanks to the belief that he is bach
elOr. The moment. however. that he shall be
labelled Minnie Palmer's husband ne will dis
appear as thoroughly as if he had been carried
OF by tornado.
CATHERINE LEWIS.

Swede named Oscar Arfweiisohn. He has been

wife had to leave him and return TO the stage
LILLIAN RUSSELL.
Under the vast heap of gentlemen who lay
claim to the title of the sole and exclusive hus-
band of Miss Lillian Russell we find the ONLY
genuine article in Mr. Harry Braham the broth
er of David Braham, conductor and composer of
tie Theater COmique. Mr.. Braham although a
very clever musician. has been completely
ec-ipsed by the fame OF his wife, in which, by the
way. the cynical disposition of fortune has con-
sistentiy prevented him from sharing.
