and Wolsey, besides, of course, those in
his ordinary repertory.

Minnie Palmer, the actress, has begun
action against her husband, John Rogers,
well known as FYours Merrillv,'' for
divorce The papers in the suit were
served upon him several days ago in Tav-
lor's hotel, Jersey city. Mrs. Rogers
has often threatened to bring an action,
but each time she relented. Their
troubles first became known November
10, 1890. Rogers said it was a case of too
much mother-in-law, while his wife said
he was brute. Rogers claimed he made
all the money through his advertising
schemes, and Minnie declared that she
was the sole source of revenue. On the
day mentioned the story was circulated
that Rogers had been so ungal-
liant Is to chase his ''sweetheart''
with a butcher-kn knife. This was siren
uously denied by the husband, who
said he loved Minnie dearly, and would
ask no greater bliss than her company
with the mother-in-law 20, 900 leagues
below the sea. Since then the report
came from England that Yours Mer-
rily" and his sweetheart hat been
reconciled. Minnie, it was reported, took
him back on probation. The term seems
to have expired.

Steer" during its many visits to Salt Lake
and noticed the ardor with which the

realism than acting in that scene.
Last summer their suspicious were con-
firmed by the announcement of the en-
gagement OF Mr.: Tim Murphy, who plays
the Texas Statesman, and Miss
Dorothy Sherrod, who played the role of
his enchantress.
Miss Sherrod and Mr.. Murphy were
married at ST. Patriclz's cathedral in New
York on Monday. The new Mrs. Muir |
ply is native OF Memphis, Tenn. and
has won considerable success in ingenue
roles with Vernona Jarbeau, Augustin
