ST. LOUIS, March pa New York dis
patch to the Republic says: Another chap
ter has been added to that strange story
of marital ENHANCEMENT begun in October
last by the clandestine marriage in Indian
apolis of Charles Coghlan, the veteran
actor, and Kuehne Beveridge, the hand
some young sculptress, who was then a
member of the company headed by Cogh-
Ian and his sister Rose. When the news of
that marriage was made known some days
after the ceremony theatrical persons of
two continents were inexpressibly shocked,
for they had recognized for over a score
of years a Mrs. Charles Coghlan and a Miss
Coghlan, who had been introduced into
their families as the wife and daughter of
the brilliant actor. Then came Mr.. Cogh-
lan's reply to all inquiries that the woman
who had been so faithful and loving a COM
panion to him was not his wife; that the
girl who tenderly cared for him in his ILL
ness and had so long borne his name was
not his daughter
Those who know Charles Coghlan best
said then that the match between the actor
of fifty and the girl of nineteen could not
last. 1t was not the first time, they said
that he had, gone from the straight path:
but always he had returned to the patient
and forgiving WIFE sure of her love and
fidelity. Charles Coghlan to-day Is living
in quiet retirement at No IL East Twenty
first street. Kuehne Beveridge is living at
the Ashland House, while the two women
who have so long borne the title of wife
and daughter live within block of him.

situation is to be no one is willing to say,
but it is quite evident that Coghlan and his
first wife most friendly terms. AL
though all the interested parties decline to
talk about the matter, it is known that
Mrs Coghlan No. l. as she has been fire.
