Press says:
The National last night held large
audience which witnessed with cOnsid-
cradle enthusiasm the thrilling ive-act
drama, The Midnight Alarm" The
excellent stage setting evoked much ap-
plause, the scenes where the fast express
flies across the drawbrldge after the at
tempt to wreck il had been foiled, and
the one showing the interior Of the en-
CINE house, were realistic and thrilling.
OUR COUNTRY COUSIN.
Frank Jones, in his new play "Our
Country Cousin" will be at the Grand

The play is a good one, and the part Of
Jason, taken by Mr.. Jones, affords a
wide scope Of dramatic ability, and
the well-knoWn "Si Perkins" of old
came we'll up TO the expectations Of HIS
audience in the new role.
The scenery, especially in the third
act where a railroad effect is introduce
ed, is something good, and the support
well up TO the average

A Disappointed Daughter Carries Ont
Her Wedding Day Threat.

OTTAWA, Sept. 4.-Strong efforts are
being put forward to induce the Senate
divorce committee to consider the APP
plication of Albert Atkins for divorce
from his wife, Mary Bertha Atkins
this session.
The Canadian Gazette contains the
following notice of application to
Parliament for divorce:
"Notice is hereby given that James
Albert Manning Atkins, of the City Of
Winnipeg, in the County of Selkirk, Of
the Province of Manitoba, barrister.
at-law, will apply to the Parliament OF
Canada at the next session thereof for
bill of divorce from his wife, Mary
Bertha Atkins, now of the State ol
New York, one Of the United States ol
America, on the grounds of adultery
desertion and bigamy."
The parties to the sensational di
vorce case are well known throughout
the Dominion. The applicant, Mr.
James A. M. Atkins, is a Winnipeg
lawyer and a son of the Hon. j. B
Atkins, ex-Lieutenant.Governor o.
Manitoba, who was for many years 8
member OF the Dominion Government
The respondent is a daughter of the
late Hon. A. w. Mcclellan, formerly
Finance Minister of the Dominion
who was at the time of his death
which occurred about year ago
Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia
Mr.. Atkins and Miss Mcclellan were
married in Ottawa about eight year.
ago. 1t appears that Mrs Atkins ha
been living apart from her husband
for some time. Mrs. Atkins, as Mis-
May Mcclellan, was one of the mos
charming young ladies who ever at
tended the festivities at Government
House here. Her father was yer.
wealthy and on the day of her wed
ding gave her check for 100000.
1t was rot love match, however
but one made up by the ambitious
parents to prevent their daughter
from marrying young gentleman 0
the Canadian Civil Service, who boast
ed of the munificent salary of 800 pc
year. With him she was deeply il
love. Her affections were reciprc
Gated, and she told her parents on he
wedding night that they would live t
see the day they would regret havin
forced her to marry Atkins. He
words have been realized.

Special Edition of the Worlds Fair

Messrs. Campbell and Langley, ac-
companied by Mr.. Roam, came to the
city yesterday and were taken to points
of interest by Prof. W. A. Kite.
Mr.. Campbell is from Chicago, and
is looking up data for specia! edition
of the Worlds Fair Advocate, solely in
the interest of Johnson City.
The company had a pleasant drive
of it, and were shown many things OF
interest by the professor.
The advertisement which these
gentlemen propose to make of the city
will be of great benefit, no doubt. 1t
is their intention to make an illustrated
write up.
Professor Kite should not fail to give
them all points relative to the big
stump.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 4.-Ty-
phoid fever has been epidemic in the
city of Negaunee, this county. There
are now over fifty cases, four deaths
and people coming down with the dis
ease at the rate Of five or six a day.
The epidemic is directly owing to
the filthy water from Teal Lake, a

dwellings, slaughter houses and mines,
and in which pine logs are collected

ing Crazy.

New YORK, Sept. 4.-The Evening
News says: People at the Gust I'M
House are almost positive that Theo-
dore Roosevelt has resigned as Com
missioner of the Civil Service Board.
One OF the causes given for the resig-
nation is that Mr.. Roosevelts brain
has been affected this summer by
overwork, and that he was suffering
from nervous prostration.
He has gone to his ranch in South
Dakota. A rumor states that Mr.
Roosevelt has shown incipient signs oi
insanity similar to his brother, Elliott
Roosevelt, who is confined in private
asylum in France. This, however, is
almost preposterous, as Theodore is an
