mostly talked about for governor on the
republican ticket. Judge Lippincott 81

AFTER THIRTY-FIvE YEARS
Captain Buck Returns to His Wife
and Children
They Had Few Words and Parted He
Married Again and Made Fortune,
Then Came Back

Thirty-three years ago Captain and Mrs.
Edward Buck of Camden, N. j., agreed
that they could not agree. She took
charge of their four children, and he de-
Tuesday the family were reunited in Long
Branch. and are now living happily at his
pretty home overlooking Rockland Lake,
at Congers, N. Y.
Early in the fall of 1862 Captain Buck
| and his wife were sitting together with
their children-a 9-year-old boy,a daughter
two years younger and couple OF romp-
ing twins. He said something, or she
said something, that led to bitter quar-
rel. They agreed then and there to sep
arate, the wife to have the custody of the
children.
He put on his hat and coat and lett the
house. He went to Washington. The war
was in progress. Though he was known
to thousands as pilot and commander
OF Federal transports, his wife heard
nothing of him.
After the war he gained wealth through
his ability as a seaman. His acquaintance
was wide. and. though he had not changed
where Mrs. Buck was, she did not lay
claim to share in his honor and good for
tune. He was married to another woman.
She told her boy and girl, the twins
having died, that their father was dead,
and taught them to revere his name as
life at sea. She told them he was master
of sailing vessel which was wrecked on
the coral reefs off the Florida coast. and
that every one on board had persisted.
She dressed as widow, and h children
and friends believed her to be one.
When seen yesterday afternoon by a
World reporter, Captain Buck said:

ADJUSTMENTS

The Burbank. Lester Wallack's famous
play, Rosedale, was given last night
Dailey's players make successful presen-
tation of the lines.
There was a good sized house last
night, rather p-heavy, but very appre-
ciative of the excellent work done by May
Nannary, Mortimer Snow, AL Hallet,
Margaret Marshal Eldridge and the others
who make Dailey's company so popular
here.
The second scene in the third act, the
gypsy camp by moonlight, was a grand
piece of work, the stage effects and every
thing about it being as perfect as the art
admits of. Rosedale will run all the week
and then will come Confusion, made
famous by Goodwin.
Orpheum-The new bill to be presented
at this house tonight for the first time is
made up entirely OF the most novel spe-
cialties obtainable, and some OF the at
fractions announced are the greatest OF
their kind in the world. Among the new
corners is the famous Barra troupe a
quartette of musical artists imported
from Europe. One of the members of the
troupe was formerly concert director to
musician is the leader of the quartette
who appear in grotesque costumes and
introduce some delightful pantomime
comedy.
Bertoldi, the wonderful girl contortion-
list who has been well termed the bone
less MARVEL begins a weeks engagement
tonight. She is the most sensational con-
tortionist and balancer in the world, al
though but sixteen years of age. These
two attractions would be generous bill
in themselves, but there is strong array
of stars besides the company, including
and Lenharr' travesty artists, who will
appear in burlesque on "Rosedale. -
