WAS IT A MURDER 2

: Charles F. Vail, who has been jailed in st.
Louis on the charge of numbering his wife, will
have to break many links in a long chain of
circumstantial evidence if he goes free again.
More than two years ago he began court
ing Miss Fannie Slattery, pretty and intelli-
gent st. Louis girl He was an ardent lover,
and they We're married July 10, 1889. This
marriage, because of his stipulations, was
kept secret outside of the brides family. The
reason he gave for hiding the marriage was
that his income was at that time too small to
support wife, and that he expected to be left
some property before long which he might
lose if his marriage became generally known.
From the moment of his marriage his ex-
cravagant manifestations of affection ceased.
From the time of the ceremony until the time
his wife died from bullet from his revolver
he contributed, it is said, but two dollars to
Der support.
Little more than a week had elapsed after
his marriage before he began piling up insur-
ance policies on his wifes life He also in
sured his own life, but his sister was named
as the beneficiary.
He only visited his wife at intervals, and
then they were seldom together more than q
few hours at a time. Once when she urged
world and live with her as a husband should
he is said to have declared with an oath:
AZ married you for a purpose and 1 haven't
accomplished it yet"
His conduct was such that before long his
wife had lost all affection for him, but she
feared him too much to apply for divorce.

full of oranges and soda water bottle OF
milk, his appearance was indescribabiy comic {
and always provoked roar Of laughter.
He finally decided TO give up the role, how,
ever, as he considered it too clownish. Hs
next appeared in a dramatiZed version OF
Hugh Conway's "Called Back as villain,

season.
Tree is most accomplished in the, to the
actor, very valuable art of making up" A
clever draughtsman, he is able with q few
lines from his brush to transform his face
into the likeness of any man he knows; and
when, while playing the part of an artist, hs
felt DESTROYS to resemble Sir Frederick Leigh
ton, the president of the English Royal acad-
envy, with the aid of few touches of black
and blue he was metanorphosed into the very
counterfeit presentment of that illustriouS
parsonage. As the old Russian prince in
''Nadiesda" his make up was veritable mar
vel, every wrinkle and every shadow in the
face indicated with such exquisite skill that
it was not possible even when standing
quite near him to detect the art concealed by
art. In the Red Lamp" and again in 'sPart-
ners" his cunning DISCUSSES may fairly be
called masterpieces of painters as well as
actors craft.
In his wife the eminent actor has been par
ticularly fortunate. 1t was once said of Mrs
! Langtry that in her earliest youth she waa
| not so beautiful as when she neared the aga
! of 30-for that until then she had not learned
| chow to be beautiful Mrs. Tree accom-.
| plishes even mere than Mrs. Langtry, for at
much earlier stage of her career she has
caught the knack Of always looking the most
| attractive woman in whatever room she may
be, and this without possessing features OF
absolute regularity. She is an excellent
Latin and Greek scholar, clever mathema-
tician and a really brilliant conyersationalist-
As an actress she has frequently distinguished
herself, one of her finest efforts being made
in play given at the Cromwell house-''The
Tale of Troy"-in which she spoke her lines
in Greek with such charming effect that the
then prime minister, Mr.. Gladstone, himself
an ardent Greek scholar, craved for an intro
duction and complimented her in the warm
est terms.

The Water Question.

A matter that should engross the atten-
ton of the city council and water commits.
sioner is the water question. Pipes ara
being laid on the bench row, and in two on
three weeks work will be begun on lower
ground. This will, OF course, require more
water and higher pressure. Even as it is
Ogdens water supply is inadequate. Dur
ing the greater portion Of the day no water
can be had above the second floor in any
large building, and frequently none can ba
had on that floor This could, in measure,
be obviated if the water regulations we're
enforced. But there are perhaps i've
hundred lawns being sprinkled at hours
prohibited by the regulations to the injury
of the services, and with the extension of
the system the supply will be less adequate.

BEERBOHM TREE.

1t is said that Herbert Beerbohm Tree L
the favorite comedian of tickle London. Hid
real name is Herbert Beerbohm, the ''Tree,n
his stage name, being derived from the Dutch
meaning of Beerboilm. Almost from babyf
hood he evinced an extraordinary gift OF
mimicry and often amused his school fellows
and got himself into trouble, by initiating the
masters Some time after he left college he
proved that he was of good business ability,
for he took charge of a part of his fathers
enterprise, The Evening Corn Trade List, and
for eight years worked proftably at it
Bat his talent as an actor could not beI
suppressed, and, wearying somewhat of the
dull grind of business, he determined to en-
list in the army of amateur actors. In a LETT
ter to The San Francisco Chronicle Constance
Beerbohm says that his success was SO brill
liant all over London, not only in privaos
houses but in public, that his friends induced
him to turn his back to business and adopde
the stage as a profession. He played mora
than one hundred parts, to the great satisfac-s
ton of the public; but it was his Private
Secretary that won him recognition as the
leading comedian of the day.

than six funny lines in the part of the Rev.

THE PROPOSED ELECTRIC
LIGHT STEAL.

The present Legislature has been
prolific of grabs" claims and
attempted steals" but the boldest
attempt in this line is the PROPOSE
ton to take the Government electric
lighting plant and hand it over to
a private corporation.
The old gasoline lights cost the
public in round numbers $4,000
year.
The present electric street lights
cost running expense of $4,000
a year.
The additional cost of the house
lighting is about 81 900 year, and
the receipts are about $4,000 year.
This shows a profit on the house
lighting part of the business of
$4,000 per annum, which being de-
Quoted from the expense of lighting
the streets leaves only $4,000, or
only the same expense that was
incurred for lighting the city with
gasoline.
The grab" bill now before the
House proposes to take the paying
part of the business and give it to
private parties, leaving the entire
cost of street lighting to the treas
ury. In other words, it is a propo.
sition to take $4,000 year out
of the treasury and give il
to Messrs. Herbert, Ena anC
the other enterprising gentlemen
who are hiding behind them. How
many of these sub-rosa patriots arr
members of the House we do no
know; but the evidence agains
some members is strong. One o
the ear-marks of fraud attached t.
the scheme is that although tn
bill prohibits "alternating cur
rent" apparatus, the apparatu
used by the Government, which i
proposed to be handed over to tn
company Is all "alternating." Th
company cannot therefore use i
and the only object is to get th
machinery out of the control of tn
