Marie Hubert Erohman

After playing from Maine to California Marie

and the company capable and large. The scene of
the:play 10 laid in Salem, Mass, and through.
out the play the manners and customs
OF the pilgrim fathers are faith.
fully and Interestingly portrayed. The plot,
briefly, is as follows: A young man, travelling
from Salem to the encampment Of the
Mohawk Indians, falls in love with q
young white girl, who has been reared
in primitive innocence by the Catholic
mi ssionaries. They are married, and the young
man, in returning alone to Salem, Is followed,
attacked and left for dead by an Indian who
had constituted himself guardian of the young
girl and believed she had been wronged. He
RECEIVERS and makes his way to Salem; but his
Injuries bereave him OF memory, and when the
young girl appears in Salem he denies all
knowledge of her. The populace accuse her of
witcheraft. and. after much persecution. she il
condemned to be hanged. At this crisis her
lovers memory returns: he proclaims her to be
his wife and succeeds, with the aid OF the mis-.
sionary, in bringing pardon when the gallows

Prior to this year the high water mark for
both these companies was in 1890, but it will be
seen the receipts for last year were slightly
larger than in that year. 1t Is true the mileage
is somewhat greater now. The present receipts
of the Northern Pacific come from .357 miles of
road, whereas two years ago there were but 4.l5S
miles in the system. The Wisconsin Central
now comprises s67 miles, against 82S miles two
years ago. Still the difference is not so impor-
tant AZ to absorb the whole increase In receipts
1t Is evident that business throughout the
Northern Pacific territory is expanding in vol
ume and that the railroad is enjoying its share
of the general prosperity.

tenberg for Contempt.
David N. Caikins, the defendant in . suit
brought by his wife, Eunice v. Calkins, to re-
cover alimony, was before Judge uchtenberg
yesterday on an order to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt of court
Tor not paying costs. The suit, which was
heard last May, was remarkable in that it was
brought to secure aimony without divorce,
being the first case of It's kind ever before
court In this state. Atthat time Judge Lichten.
berg granted the wife one OF two lots owned BY
the husband, both OF which were valued at $500.
The husband was ordered to pay the costs
and on failing to do so was summoned before
the court in contempt proceedings. Frank
Pierce, the wife's attorney, held that Calkins'
share OF the property was liable for the costs
and the court ruled that way. It appeared on
the hearing that Calkins, subsequent to the
decree OF the court, mortgaged his property to
his attorneys, Wiley, Scott & Bostwick, and
they claim that this was In accordance with an
agreement made before the decree. The case
was continued until next Wednesday, when
Calkins and his attorneys will be given . chance
to make . showing Of facts.
