The agent was obliged TO admit that

lived IN the neighborhood. none OF them
actually belonged to the highest order
OF New York aristocracy.

side, shaking his head.
What do You mean by such talls?"
said Mrs. Westside, when they reached

There are, however, quite n largo

in the spring, no matter how comfort
ably they may be situated Mrs West
side is lady who makes il q point 10
move every spring on general princi-
pies. Her husband, who would rather
have pitcher of common nolasses
poured down his back than move 10 a
new fiat, once expressed the opinion
that even after they got to Heaven
Mrs W. would insist on moving some
where else III the spring.
One morning, not very long ago, they
were seated opposite 10 each 9th or at the
breakfast table MIR. Westsido was
calmly smoking his cignr, but there
was puzzled expression on his face.
For several days Mrs. Wcstsidc had
been abnormaliy offcctionato toward
him. 1t Is one OF Mr.. Westside's tho
cries that when married woman is
suspiciously afTable to her husband she
is either afraid of him or is engineer
ing scheme to get money ont Of him;
she is preparing to coax him into doing
something he would ordinarily object
to doing. He knew bis wife was not in
the least afraid of hiin, hence the puz-
Zled expression on his face 1t must be
one OF the other two causes for artificial
affection

Ten minutes later thcv were on an

she could find q small house, to rent it

how noisy the ncighborhood was.
But L dare say there will be so

exaspcrating smile. His wife merely
gave hin ono of her looks, which, how

Special to the Globe.
i PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April A.
4 Alexander Salvini is popular in this
city, and the announcement that he
fwould make his debut as Hamlet drew
pa large and representative audience to
othe Walnut street theater tonight.
Many persons prominent in business
and social circles were present, includ-
ling delegation of New York newspa-
per men and managers. Young Salvini
has evidently made close study of
the part of Hamlet. He has introduced
considerable new business and rear
ranged several of the lines, notably in
the earlier portions of the play. His
representation is picturesque, and in
many cases decidedly effective. In the
conventional costume of Hamlet he
presents an attractive appearance and
handles himself with much grace. His
best scenes were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the audience, and curtain
calls at the end of each act were nu-
merous. Mr.. Salvini's Hamlet is GER
tain to please his audiences, and, judg-
ing from its reception tonight, will be-
come a feature of his repertoire The
play was staged with liberality and
good taste, the scenery, costumes and
accessories being new and appropriate.
The supporting company, which in
cludes William Redmond, the veteran,
John A. Kane, Eleanor Moretti, and
other capable actors and actresses,
lent valuable assistance to the star 1t

HURT WAS JEALOUS.
Alleged Faithlessness of "a Wife
Caused the wyoming Tragedy,

DENVER, Col, April A special
from Cheyenne, Wyo., gives these adj
ditional details of the murder of Will
lam NJ. Milne. at Caspar, Wyo, by
Senator j. j. Hurt. 1t is alleged that
about a year ago Hurts son, aged ten
years, went home one evening unex-
pectedly and found Milne sitting in
his mothers lap.
Mr.. Hurt was absent from home at
the time, and the son wrote to his
father. Senator Hurt did not return
to Caspar until recently, being de-
tanned in the East, the principal part
of the time at Hot Springs, Ark, on
account of serious illness. Since COM
ing home he has stopped at a hotel
and refused to see his wife, although
he had frequent interviews with his
young son. The shooting was the out
growth of the affair. Citizens of Cas-
par who are intimate with the family
believe that Mrs. Hurt has been
Wrongfully accused. Senator Hurt Is
widely known throughout the state on
account of his large interests in the
wool industry and his recent eccentric
ideas In reference to free trade. He
was publicly mentioned as a candidate
for governor on the Democratic ticket
four years ago. He is said to be one
OF the wealthiest men in Central Wyo-
ming. Milne, the murdered man, was
a sheep herder, and had been in Hurts
employ for many years.
