The Bride Goes Homo and h Groom
Goes to the Calaboose.
ST.. LOUIS, June 2O.-West End society il
enjoying q sensation created by Edward
Mulliken, this morning, at the residence o
his father-in-law, Roger E. Harding on Gar
rison Avenue and Chestnut Street. The
Hardings are very nice, well-to:do people
and Olive, the only daughter, was one Of
the prettiest girls OF the West End last
winter. Two months ago she returned
from q visit to friends in California, and
the old folks were informed that she waf
engaged to a young nan she had met ou
there, and that they were to be mar
ried soon. The old folks were enraged
at the news, and refused their consent
The result was an elopement and q hasty
marriage at Belleville, Illinois, six weeks
ago. The young pair returned to the city
and commenced lie together in a boarding
house. It was hoped that the old folks
would client, but they would not, and
finally the young husband, running out o.
funds and finding no employment, lett the
city to escape his creditors, and the young
bride was then taken back to her parents
The trouble thus morning was caused by
the sudden appearance OF young Mulliken
at the parental residence to claim his bride
1t was like a bombshell thrown into the
house. The whole neighborhood was
aroused and the police called in, and Mr.
Mulliken marched off to the calaboose,
The bride was sick abed, but it seems, took
her husbands part and said she stilllovad
him and was ready to share his lot again
This afternoon q truce was patched up be.
twean Mulliken and tho old folks and he
was permitted to have an interview with
his wife. A permanent reconciliation with
the old folks is now expected.

LOVERS OF good eating will read with re
greet that the supply Of the toothsome shad,
both in the Delaware and Potomac rivers,
are decreasing in quantity and deteriorat-
ing in size and quality. This is surely bad
news. Speaking of good eating the follow
ing from a recent Issue OF a New York paper
is about correct: 'Dining is al art not
acquired by many Americans, although we
think we know all aboutit. Twas reminded
Of this by the arrival OF a cook from Paris
at one of our famous restaurants. A party
was made up at one OF the clubs to 60 and
try the newly arrived artist. They ordered
planked shad and roast duck. Now,
what could the new French cook
know about planked- shad? How
could he exercise his genius upon roast
duck? Tho party declared that they had a
very bad dinner and did not think much of
tbs cook. l should like to know what the
cool thought OF them! Projectors Of res.
taurants tell me that the best French cooks
are spoiled in about three months. The
first month they are ON their mettle and no
body thanks them for their trouble. The
second month they try to cook American
denominations. fail, and despise the igno-
ramus who finds fault with him. The third
month they become careless; argue that no
American knows how to eat, and sigh for a
return ticket to France. Some day we will
produce Observation-Disclosures are a few in
existence now-who will excel the old world
in their art as the country does in its ma
terials for a good dinner"

The announcement is made that Hon.
David Davis, OF Illinois, is dying. His de-
mise will add another to the list OF great
Americans who have passed away during
the present year. Mr.. Davis was born in
Maryland in March, 1916, and is, conse-
quently, in his led year. He is q graduate
of Kenyon College and Of the Law School
of Yale. In 1916 he became q resident OF
Bloomington, Illinois, and was three times
elected as Judge of the State Court, holding
the position from 1848 to 1852. In 1862
he was appointed Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, and filled
the position until 1877, when he resigned
to accept the office of Senator from Illinois,
rendered by the dead lock Legislature Of
that session. In 1881 he was elected Presi-
dent pro tempore of the United States SEN
ate, and held the Office until the expiration
Of his term in 1883. Mr.. Davis was noted
as one ii the ablest lawyers that ever &C.
cupied the Supreme bench, and his op:n.
ions were models of legal lore. Heis a gen.
tlsman of extraordinary size. and is the
possessor of a vast fortune, the result OF
fortunate real estate speculations in early
days. In politics he a. originally a Re-
publican, but in later years he became an
and ia one of the few men in
public life who assumed that title who
dared order his conduct in accordance with
The manhood that the word implies.

The House Committee on Pensions has
decided to report and urge the passage OF a
bill that will of necessity largely increase
the expenditures for that purpose. If the
bill will benefit deserving disabled soldiers
or the needy heirs of dead ones. there will
not.bea any serious objection to the measure.
It proposes to raise the necessary sum by
reviving the income tax. This will surely
kill the bill, for il there be a proposition
that is odious to the American people it is
the machinery requisite to enforce the pro.
visions of such an act. People do not OBJ.
ject to being taxed and paying taxes, but
they do and always will protest against
any such inquisitorial measure. During
the war times it may have been a necessity,
to-day it is not, and the effort to revive it
will certainly be frowned down.

GEORGE G. Min the eminent tragedian
who opens at the Opera Houss tonight is
one OF the phenomenal actors OF the world.
A gentleman OF rare ability and education,
a student OF human nature, and q philoso.
pher by intuition, he turned to the stage as
a medium Of good. In details it may be
that he has not yet learned the entrances
or exits, but there is no great play which is
included in his repertoire that he
has not thoroughly analysed and
mastered. He has made a study
Of tho various passions and emotions and
portrays thom from his own standpoint
and does so with success and ability. A
less original or aggressive actor would not
have dared opened in Butte with THE
Fools Revenge" 1t is a play but little
known and less understood. Pertuccio is
a marvel in the deliniation of two phases
OF character. In it cunning and revenge
are so deity interviewer that a student OF
psychology has more than a contract when
he attempts to unravel the intricate mazes
OF the play. OF this peculiar character Mr..
Min has made = study, and in his own in
depreciation, he will risk his first appear
ance before a Butte audience. Let the
intelligence Of the city greet the gentleman
tonight and judge him from his impersona-
ton OF the difficult character he has chosen
in which to make his debut. b

SAM. JONES the alleged Evangelist who in
one of his TRADES made an indecent attack
upon the Baptist church as q body, was
called to account for it by an eminent di-
vine OF that denomination. The gentle.
man used the most scathing terms in re.
gard to jones. and the latter has replied by
making a most AFFECT apology, and denial.
He attempts to explain away the matter,
but in doing so travels very close to the
edge OF untruth- 1t is only a question OF
time when Jones will be rated at his true
worth and the support OF the Evangelical
churches withdrawn from him. His style
and language is inconsistent with Christian
ity and true religion.

THAT great bodies move slowly is exem.
pli6ed by the fact that only a day or two
ago the Senate passed q bill for the relief Of
the owners OF the British whaler "Chance'
which in 1871 rescued six shipwrecked
American seamen 10 the Artic ocean. As
the number OF men was more than they
could accommodate, the vessel gave up it's
cruise and carried the Americans to port.
This OF course entailed an actual loss the
amount of which was claimed. The oe-
currence took place fifteen years ago, but
the bill is still:pending in Congress. Having
finally passed the Senate it is to be hoped
that it will get speedy and favorable con-
sideration in the House. Good faith, hu.
manity and decency all require that the
n gdelayed recompense should be awarded.
It is a just debt, not a gratuity.

4 brilliant Audience Witnesses george

W
Ono ~ the largest and most highly cul'
tured audiences of the season greeseo .ne
6r.t appearance in Butte Of George Z. MIN
last night at the Grand Opera House. -
vas an audience composed Of people blessed
With dramatic. appreciation-an audience
which assembled to criticise n was
Mr. Min chose Tom Taylor's great play
by many pronounced his masterpiece,
"The Fools Revenge" as tie medium o.
his introduction to Butte, and it ls SAFE 70
saw that q wiser selection could not nave
been made. The play is an exceptionany
strong one, exceliing through choic9 y =
Language and ekilful construction IL u
one OF The very lew plays that keep the IN,
climax is reached.
.sThe Fools -Revenge' only needed &c
good a re ;resentation as Mr.. Minis com
pany gave it last night to crafty h mos
critical audiences, and without Mr.. MIN IL
the leading role even his excellent company
could not give it justice. To interpret the
character of Bertuccio requires strong
dramatic instinct and great over. The
object of the dramatist in creating Der
tuccto was to display the result OF a con
slant strife in a human personality between
q strong paternal love n the prOmPtlnRs
Of an Unsuitable desire for vengeance. Tc
enact such a role, as we have said, requires
combrehensiveness OF intellect, swift
ness of emotion and great dra
matte power. In non OF these par
ticulars was Mr.. Min disappointing. Thu
power Of the actor was best seen in his DC
lineation of the rage and sorrow OF TIT
Jester ~hen he disc .vered that he had un
Willingly betrayed his child-that on
bright spot in his shattered life-into tn
power OF his roue master. In that scen'
Min rose to the sublimity OF hrs art. II
was interesting to watch the actor captur,
HIS audience. The house, at frst cold ant
unsympathetic, gradually warmed to al
appreciation OF the actors efforts, anf
gave him very hearty and generous APP
plause, calling him before the curtain a
the end of the second act, and bestowinl
upon him a mark of favor never bestowed
upon any other actor in Butte-a call Al
the close of the performance.
Mr.. Min is supported by a company o
more than ordinary ability. Miss Louis
Jordan was deservedly recalled with tn
star, and the other members Of the com
pany filled their respective roles in a man
! ner worthy of the play and the star.
Tonight Richelieu" will be presented, ant
! another large and brilliant audience is as
sured.

The able bodied Republican liars OF the
bloody shirt stamp are still on deck and
are missing 40 opportunity in their efforts
to engender hate and i'll feeling between the
people OF the sections. Among the latest
and nearest efforts in that direction was
in a speech delivered at Topeka, Kansas,
on Decoration Day by a Kew. 8. McChesney,
pastor Of the Methodist Church of that
city in which he said: ~ will not attempt
to conceal or describe my emotion when I
learned that on the fourth Of March last
year, at the time of the inauguration cere-
mony at Washington, that an ex-confeder-
ate general, Fitz-Hugh Lee, led that mill
tary procession IN confederate uniform,
with gallant Sheridan relegated to an in
ferior position in that line" Insome man
ner the address caught the eye of
Fitz- Hugh Lee, Governor of Virginia, and
that gentleman promptly sen the following
manly card to the Democratic Central
Committee, who furnished it for publica-
ton. 1.-THE statements OF DR.. McChesney
are false, viz: That an ex Confederate
General led the military in the procession
III OOuJcuCIdlC uAAlOAlus dS Wou us us 6tdUe"
ment that Lieut-Gen. Sheridan, in blue, was
placed in an inferior position and chat the
military was led by a man in the color OF
ashes. Just after reading his absurd
sentences, comparing the color OF gray to
ashes, I read in another paper Of the action
OF some Federal soldiers in Watertown,
New York, who had received pensions under
the laws Of the United States, but who. not
requiring, them, had sent them to some
soldiers residing in this State,
because they thought their necessities
greater. Which is doing most for the pro.
OF the restored union OF co-equal
narrow-minded, bloodthirsty
preacher, who probably never smelIed gun
powder, or the ex-union soldiers, who
fighting when the war was over? l
can only pity a man who remains bellieer-
ent solong. and express the hope that after
his death his ashes may be at peace.

SEVERAL DAYS ago a member OF the House

SEVERAL days ago a member OF the House
of Representatives gave notice that at the
future night sessions that body he would
insist upon a quorum. In his veto message
yesterday the President took occasion to
say that he did not think he was antagon.
izing the will OF the legislative branch for
the reason that the majority OF the bills
had been passed by a minority OF Congress.
Both the member who gave the notice and
the President were right. Under the law
the House Of Representatives is composed
OF 1923 members, of whom a majority is
q quorum. It is sale to say that at
neither OF the night sessions has there been
an attendance of 100. Yet as the point of
quorum was not raised, legislation was
proceeded with in due form. This is radi-
cally wrong. The work OF a member is ar
duous it is true, but there is no good reason
why sessions should be held and work done
while a majority Of the body find it i'm
possible to be present. There should be no
session, or rather no work when the con-
stitutional quorum is not present. Then
there should always be q roll call and the
drones and the bees could easily be distin.
guished. No man has a right to accept so
honorable and exalted a position unless he
intends to perform the duties required OF

to widows Of soldiers who died in the war

81 have to advise you that all widows
and others on the pension rolls OF the
various agencies, whose pension has been
increased to $12 per month, will receive the
amount due them up to the fourth instant,
with the checks for the regular June pay
ment. This Office has issued no new certifi-
Gates, has entertained no application under
said act, and has replied to no correspond
ence on the subject, for the reason that
none was necessary, o will it be necessary
that any application shall be made, or any
certificates issued for the continuation OF
this rate OF $12, which the pension agents
will pay without any action whatever upon
the part OF the pensioners"

A D1scRM1NArING audience met George
C. Min on his first appearance in Butte at
the Grand Opera House last night. and the
genui ne marks of approval must have been
gratifying to the eminent actor. The play
is a hard one but the genius Of Mr.. Min
was equal to the trying role OF Bsrtuccio,
and he secured a complete triumph. A
genuine artist, in love with his work, the
gentleman should meet with crowded
houses during the week OF his engagement.

The insanity of King Otto, Of Bavaria,
was first made evident on Corpus Christ
Day, 1875. On that day, while the Arch
bishop was officiating at the: Cathedral at
Munich, the Prince eluded the vigilance Of
his keepers, rushed through the crowd and
placing himself in the choir began to ad'
dress the assembly in a loud voice. By his
speech and incoherf mt mutterine
his true mental condition at once became
apparent. Since then he has been kept in
strict retirement.
