ants and Catholics of this city have formed
union. The Protestant ministers organized
the Springfield Ministerial Association some

eradicating prejudice against both branches of
the Christian religion. The Rev. DR.. Cressy,
pastor of the FIRST Baptist Church. said. IN
speaking of Father Sidley's sermon: II dis

ACTRESS MABEL DEBABAINE.
The Identity of the Woman Who Was Killed
at Spokane Falls.

The Identity of the Woman Who Was Killed
at Spokane Falls.
NEW YORK, March 30.-The identity of the
actress known Mabel Debabaine, who was
shot and instantly killed in a variety theatre
in Spokane Falls last Friday night has been
definitely settled. Her name was Mabel De
Bebian, and she was a very we'll
known burlesqus performer. She had
appeared in spectacles farce comedies,
light operas, ETC., in number of New YORK
theaters, and she had also travelled extensively
She was an attractive looking woman, fair
singer and dashiug actress. Her husband
was the actor known as W. Paul Brown, and
he died in this city ot many months ago while
playing an engagement at Roster & Biars.
Miss De Bebian's life had been romantic and
itc tragic end was not unlocked for. A few
years ago in fit of jealousy which she attribu-
ted to her husbands actions she at
tempted suicide while playing at wa
tering resort in New Jersey. She
swallowed poison but too much or
too little and her attempt was unsuccess-
full. The Spokane Falls people, who imagined
the murdered woman was Nina Heyward, are
mistaken. Miss HeywArd is not a variety ac-
tress and she has never appeared at the theater
where the shooting occurred. Besides she is
known to be alive and in the East at present.

Wagner was to pay. providing he signed Corcorau
before certain date. Wagner put his signature
to the proposition, which the New Haven club
now holds. Corcoran was signed before the stfp-
ulated time; and This contract formally promuI-
gated. A letter with Wagner's signature attached
proves this. As soon as the Association jumped
the national agreement he thought there was no
need of paying the money. If he attempts to play
Corcoran, however. he will find that the New
Haven people are made of different stuff than he
