Was happy at her side.

She loved him better with his song

The development of Philadelphia has
left the Arch Street theater without
a public, and that house after a long
and eventful history, will be devoted
to other uses. The fortunes OF the
Arch street have long been declining.
Tho following interesting history of
this memorable theater appears in the
Buffalo Express: This theater was
opened to the public on Oct. 81. 1923,
and, with the exception of the Walnut
Street theater in that city, is perhaps
the Oldest in the country. After several
seasons, in 1881, the Arch Street was
taken by Jones, Duffy and Forrest, and
the theater was one Of the best-known
houses in the country. James T.. Muir
doch, John r. Scott, Eliza Riddle and
Mary Duff were in the cast. William
E. Burton and John e. Owens played
engagements there, and Edwin Booth
made his first Philadelphia appearance
in this house as Wilfred in 1.-The Iron
Chest" to the Sir Edward Mortimer of
his father. Among other actors whose
names are associated with the early
history of the house were Thomas J.
Hemphill, William Wheatleigh, John

are well-dressed men. This seems to
surprise some people, who identify the
actor with the part. Lew Bloom was

THE CATTLE KINGS WIFE,
Mrs. George White Wants Her
Award Of a Hundred
Thousand.
A Decision Expected From the SUI
preme Court To-Day on the
Petition.

A decision is expected from the Supreme
Court to-day in the celebrated divorce case
of Cattle King White.
The case was carried to the higher court
on an application for writ of prohibition
and writ of review IN the matter of the
order of sale of property to satisfy the
order of Judge Hebbard, awarding Mrs.
White 100000. This is the last day of the
three months following the time of it's
submission, and the court goes without its
salaries if decision is not handed down
to-day.
Mrs. White secured her divorce in 1888,
and with it went an alImony of $500
month. She had considerable in fact per-
petual, trouble in getting her money, and
finally petitioned Judge Hebbard for an
order compelling her recreant ex-spouse
to pay her alinony in lump sum amount
ing to 100000. The order was granted,
but prior to this a receiver was appointed
at Mrs. Whites request and he attested
that White owned no property; that it
was all mortgaged and out of his
hands. That report called for further liti-
cation, and investigation. and it was
learned that Whites nephew, named
Rough, held promissory notes aggregating
thousands Of dollars, on which he had
secured judgment, and also that he was
one of the chief creditors. Subsequently
on order OF sale of property to satisfy the
award Of 500, 900 was made and the re-
ceiver had made preparations for public
sale, when the application for writ of
prohibition and review was argued and
submitted before the Supreme Court.
The .cattle king" as he is Familiarity
known, has little of his immense estate in
his own hands, but his ex-wife has pinned
him down so closely that the courts have
recognized his responsibility and given her
her rights, amounting to 100000. Prior
to Judge Hebbard's order White had re-
fused to pay the $500 month alimony,
and it is now two years since she has re-
ceived cent from the Mendocino mill
honaire.

Complaint Made by a Property Owner

Complaint Made by Property Owner
Against Solicitor for Street
Contracts.
Mrs. FL. E. Allen has lodged complaint
with the Board of Supervisors against j.
NJ. Phillips, who claims to be a solicitor
for Contractor r. III. Norton. Mrs. Allen
lives at the Hotel Rafael, San Rafael, and
street, this City.
According to her story, Phillips visited
her at the hotel last May and represented
that he had private contract signed by
all the property-owners on Moultrie street
to grade, macadamize and sewer that thor
oughfare.
1--WE got all the signatures but yours"
he urged. "You sign, and then I'll go
ahead with the work.
Mrs. Allen says Phillips annoyed her so
much with the matter that she consented
at last.
Two weeks ago he came to me again"
she complained, land told me that the
work was all done, and that he was max
ing his collections.
"Pay my bill now" he said, land I'll
knock off per cent"
81 was suspicious of his appearance and
his pertinacity," continued Mrs. Allen, $50
/ went out and examined the street. He
hadn't done thing. He hadn't even got
a permit from the office of the Street Su-
perintendent to do the work. / found out
also that his purported private contract
had scarcely any bona-fde signatures. In
fact he stuffed it with fictitious names in
order to make the real property-owners be-
lieve that other people were really signing
it,"
Mrs. Allen has asked the board not to
issue any permit to Phillips to do the
work.
Contractor Norton says he does not
know Phillips.

- Conference.

Rev. L: P. Armstrong of San Jose, the
author of a work soon to be published on
"Fair Wealth Distribution by Means of
the -Pruning-tax System" read extracts
from it before the Congregational Monday
Club.
He said in part: Extreme wealth and
extreme poverty are both productive of
vice: Give me neither poverty nor riches
was the prayer of the wise man. National
ism is no solution of the problem. 1t
might be good thing if ali men loved
each other as they do themselves.
1.-THE fundamental principle of taxation
is that it should be proportioned to a
persons ability to support society. The
polltax is unjust. Indirect taxation is
unjust. The proper way to encourage
young industries is by means of bounties.
pay as much tax on sugar probably as
Mr.. Rockefeller does. Neither is a land
tax lust: The income tax does not reach
the desideratum, though it approaches it..
. 9: 1.-THE wisest taxation will not direct
wealth into the possession of men worth
more than a million. Three-hundredths
OF the. people own two-thirds of the prop
erty of the country, and pay one-fourth Of
the taxes.
''Wealth is the Likelihood of Nation, but
it.is not right that that Likelihood should be
gorged in the extremities. We propose to
prime away the too heavy top branches of
society. All the wealth that is laid by in
capital belongs to society"
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper said that riches
are the wealth of the brain, which is pro-
ductive of good.
DR.. Mooar thought the presentation not
sufficiently clear and concise.
DIR. Pond said there should be an end of
the rich getting richer and the poor poorer.
Whether the speaker had found the way he
could not say.
DR.. Williams said he agreed with the
drift of the paper Certainly there was
need of a read iustment of conditions. 1t
was bound to come. Whether the plan
proposed would aid the movement in that
direction he did not know.
Rev. e. Willett said he wished to express
his warm admiration of the paper. He
thought the presentation of the plan of in
crease OF taxes according to the amount OF
property was lucid. He was surprised that
18th ad not been more warmly commenced.
Rev. W. II. Tubb wished the statement
Of the plan had been clearer.
Key. j. w. CruZan questioned the state
mept that the poor were growing poorer.
1t was true. that some of the rich were
growing richer
= DR.. Mclean thought there was some
thing in the statement that the poor were
getting poorer.
Rev. Mr.. Chamberlain said all such
plans were simply salye upon the sores
of the body polite. The Nation must re-
turn. to its covenant vows.
Rev. l.. =. Armstrong said his plan was
TO raise the ratio of taxation with the size
of the property, so making limit OF pos

DR.. Case said the speakers sentiments
expressed were in accord with those of DR..
Hurd and other ecclesiastical authors, and
he believed the paper was orthodox.
Rev. S. D. Simons said the paper was
sound, sensible and orthodox. He con-
sidered himself an authority on that
question. The remark was greeted with
good-natured laughter in which the aged
speaker joined.
Ben. j. B. Cheyworth said there was a
good deal of nonsense in the paper. The
spirit of the paper was that the soul i s
dormant, and if God does not breathe his
spirit into it the result will be annihila-
ton. He did not believe that.
Rev. w. S. Urmy said his understanding
had been that the body was the animal
portion of the being. He was surprised
that the lower attributes had been de-
scribed as the soul.

Rev. Julian Soper of Japan spoke at
some length upon the Methodist missions
in Japan. On the island of Hokkaido,
which he said is to Japan what the West
is to the United States. there are six or
ganized churches and 500 native church
members. He felt encouraged by the
helpful spirit of the Iaymen as well as
ministers of the churches As for the dis
couragements. he thought the spirit of
apathy and indifference on the part of the
masses is a greater obstacle than the
activity of the Buddhists. Heretofore
there had not been the consecrated spirit
on the part of many of the missionaries.
but Bishop Warren had sent some excel
lent material to the island recently.
DR.. Soper had found intellectual
Christianity. or ready intellectual ap-
prehenslon of its truth, in Japan, but there
was not as much heartfelt experience as he
would like. The religion of the Japanese
converts is more of the head than the
heart. They think emotional religion is
not heightened religion. He had found
this tendency serious obstacle to progress
in missionary work. He said that there is
plenty of human nature in Japan, plenty
OF badness, but not SO much devilishness
as in this country.
