There was a futter of excitement
among the Japanese maldens at the
Harris theater. last night. Groups OF
these quantity clad followers of the
Mikado were whispering here and there
below the stage, while in front OF the
house there were similarly mysterious
demonstrations. Evidently there was
something in the wind, and it proved on
investigation to be nothing less than the
marriage of one of the chorus girls to
Well-kneWn young man OF this CITY, the
discovery of which had but just oc-
Cured, and the whispering groups
were commenting on the event. Llttie
Annie Smith, 19-year old brunette,
than whom more fascinating never
peered coouettiShly from behind the
folds of a japanese fan, joined the
Wilbur Opera company in Columbus,
O., last January. 1t was her first en-
gagement. and in all probability it Will
be her last. Soon after her arrival In
ST Paul. she made the acquaintance OF
Archie Matheis, youth of her own
age, and Youngest son OF the carpet
merchant of that name, doing business
on Third street. 1t was the old. old
story of love at first sight, and the beau
tifuI feature of this particular chapter
was that both loved with equal feryor
and devotion Archie is employed III
his fathers establishment during the
day, and at night has charge OF the
calcium lights at the theater. The
lovers met frequently. There were
moonlight StrollS after the theater, Sun
day rides to Fort Smelling, midnight
suppers at the Cafe Magee. and all the
rest of the incidentalS leading up to
declaration by the handsome young
lover of the undying affection he held
for the little girl who looks so marvel
ously we'll in pink tights. The next
step was a proposal of marriage, and
gentle Annie was willing. The first
train to Hudson Sunday morning had
among its passengers couple OF young
sters VIII, looked frightened at their
own temerity, but who Wlthal
managed to make the necessary
replies to the questions asked
them by Rev. Smith, of Hudson.
1t was he made them man and wife
within an hour after their arrival i'll the
Wisconsin village which has sheltered
many a runaway couple ere this, and
will doubtless continue to be the Mecca
of clipping lovers. Well, they were mar
ried-what next? Archie had not told
his papa of his matrimonial intentions,
and, just to keep people from talking
about the affair, Mrs. Matheis decided
to retain her position in the chorus for
a time, while her lord still measures
carpet and sheds the calcium's red glow
about the syIph-like form of his bride
from the vantage point of the gal
lery. Whether MatheiS pere will
interpose objections to the choice of a
wife made by his son remains to be
seen, and in the meantime the newly
welded pair are enjoying the novelty of
being real married folks, just like the
old people. Mrs. Matheis is spoken
highly of by her associates of the
theater. She is the daughter of fash
ionabIe Columbus modiste, and in point
of education and appearance is fully a
match for her husband.
