The concert to be given in the new

Friday night the greatest of all Am
erican dramatic readers will appear a
the opera house. Mrs. Scott-Siddon
has charming figure, lovely ewes
which speak the emotion of the soul a
truly as the tongue; the gift of singu
larly appropriate, eloquent gesture, ant
a voice whose power of soft, modulatet
tenderness is only matched by its capac
ity for expressing the most violent emo
tons of rage, defiance, hate, or scorn
1t is easy to believe that the genius O
the immortal Siddons lives In her grand
daughter, whom she resembles.

badly constipated condition, or with a
distressing sick headache, rush of blood

Considerable opposition is develop
ing to the request of the Milwaukee
road for new track privileges on Pike
street. There seems 10 be vague fear
that the road has some underlying mo-
tive for asking the privileges it does.
Some are of the opinion that 1t is an at
tempt to freeze out other roads that may
wish to extend their tracks through. the
city, and argue that as there IS little land
in that vicinity anyway the Milwaukee
road should be satisfied with what il has
already, especially as it does not extend
through the city. In this connection il
may be proper TO say that the Milwau-
kee has already violated the ordinance
giving it track room on Pike street.
There are two tracks laid on that street,
while the ordinance allows il but one.

THE London police thought they had
the Whitechapel murderer yesterday,
but as he eluded them when their clutch
es were seemingly upon him, they
changed their minds and decide that the
latest assaulter of women is not the real
Whitechapel fiend at all. Quite likely
they are right, inasmuch as the fellow
did not do his work in way resembling
the former crimes, but what interests the
public is, why didn't the London police
catch him anyway? They appear to be
an organization of incapables. There il
certainly no good excuse for the escape
of the man yesterday, unless, indeed
the whole story is product of the i'm.
agination and there was no man con.
cerned in the alleged assault.

sons who IN this case have solved the

affirmative. They were married in this
county on May 20, 1879, and lived togeth-
er in welded unhappiness until the
summer of 1885, when the cruel and in
human treatment of her husband toward
herself and children forced Mrs. Davis
to leave him. Davis seems to have
amused himself by calling his wife vari-
Gus pet names, more expressive than ell
egant. and one occasion in a fit of rage
beat her TO insensibility while she was
sick She has never recovered from
this She also alleges that her husband
resorts with women of i'll repute. The
respective ages of Davis and his wife are
thirty-one and twenty-six, and they
have four children. Davis made no an
swer TO the complaint, and the divorce
was granted, Mrs. Davis being given the
custody of the two younger children,
subject to the further order of the court.
