HE STOPPED THR PLAY.
The Indian Mail Carrier"
Meets Her Indignant
Spouse.
A PRETTY LIVELY sCRIMMAGE
She and Mr.. Charles Are Soundly
Beaten, and Then Warrants Are
Asked for Their Arrest.

The performance of ''The Indian Mail
Carrier" which was to have been held
last night at Jacobs Hoboken Theatre,
has been POSTPONED until tonight. The
reason OF the postponement was the fear
that the former husband of Go Won-Go,
who was in the audience, would attempt
TO do some harm and also because of the
bruised condition OF the star and her
present husband, along haired gentleman
OF the cowboy type. VINO calls himself
Mr.. Charles Charles.'' -
Some time ago Go-Won-Go, who claims
TO be an Indian, but who is evidently q
mexican, married man in Mexico Life
was happy enough until Charles came
along. G0-Won-Go Immediately fell in
love with the young man, who dazzled her
with descriptions of the fame and for
tune awaiting her in the far East.
she eloped with him, and as she claims
wrote the play in which they are at
present appearing. The deserted husband
followed them, but did not get on to their
track until he located them in Baltimore.
where they were playing. Mrs. Charles
learned OF his presence in the city and
made hasty flight, which did not end till
they reached Hoboken, where thew were
to have appeared last night.
Inc deserted husband got on their trail
and arrived in town almost as soon as
they, and he went Immediately to the
house where they were stopping.
Carambora, you ara mia wifa,n he
hOWled the moment he saw her.
Mrs. Charles denied the soft impeach-
ment. and her former husband by way Of
convincing her that she was mistaken
hauled off ahd gave her blow between
the eyes. ''Mr. Charles came to her as
sistance and was also beaten. He kept up
out, and then went before a Justice of the
peace and secured warrant for the arrest
of the couple.
The warrant had not yet been served at
last accounts, but it probably will be the
moment the stars venture on the stage.

QUEERED BY THE LEMONS.

How Actor Watson Got Square With a
CoIored whistler.
A little scene not down on the bills was
enacted at Cronheim's Hoboken Theatre
last evening in which whistling gem
man" of color, very mad actor and
six lemons figured conspicuously.
The darkey in question is known as the
mascot of Hoboken. He was engaged by
Manager Cronheim to whistle for the de-
lectatiun of his patrons and reported for
duty early las evening. He was assigned
by mistake to q dressing room which was
intended for the sole occupancy of Actor
Watson.
The latter objected, but Blackey was
adamantine. Watson grew more irate,
and finally told his uncomfortable COM
panion that he would get square on him
anyhow. He did. and this is the way he
enjoyed his sweet revenge. When
Blackey made his bow to the audience he
wore six by four smile, winked at the
audience and puckered up his lips into
O whistle Just as he did so six sombre
gentlemen in the front row of the orches-
ira raised six large lemons to their
mouths and sucked.
The whistle began to wabble and fin
ally died out altogether. Blackey tried it
again, but those lemons were too much
for him, and there he stood with his
mouth watering, his teeth on edge. and
his whistle on strike.
Then he spoke. What he said would
not look well on paper, but it was en-
pbatic, nevertheless.
The curtain went down, Watson smiled
sardonically, and Blackey left the theatre
minus his whistle.
"For de Lawd sake" he said, as he went
away, don't let dis yere come out,
'twould spoil my reputation"
