peared in her usual role in the comic
opera An American Beauty at theater
in ST. Louis, She was not notified of
her fathers death until few hours
before. Her reasons for playing, as
given, are that she did not desire TO
deprive the sixty chorus girls Of
nights wages. She said they could Ill
afford 1t and she was willing to make
the sacrifice In their behalf.
Wisconsin Methodist minister, is suf-
fering peculiar embarrassment from
tho severe discipline OF his church. He
was recently assigned to Trinity
church, Milwaukee, by Bishop Walden.
Rev. DR.. Millar, who had occupied the
Trinity pulpit, was assigned the
church al Stevens Point. The latter
congregation was ,airly well satisfied
as II Was not unanimous In desiring
the recall Of its old pastor, Rev Mr..
Re Qua. Meanwhile the Trinity con-
gregation was tuning and fretung
about the appointment of DR.. Creigh-

ity. The Milwaukee church was emil
nently satisfied with the restoration OF
ita pastor and the unrest was trans
ferred with Dir. Creighton TO his new
post OF duty. II Is said that the peo-
pie OF the Stevens Point church are
fixed In their determination not to bow
to the plans OF the bishop, and the pas

Walter Michael Castle, the San Fran
cisco merchant who, with his wife, has
just been released on bail from Hollo~
way jail, London. on charge OF shop
lifting, Is one Of the leading business
men on the Pacific coast. He Is a
member OF the firm Of Castle Brothers,
one Of the wealthie5t and most infuen-
tial houses in San Francisco. Mr..
Castle Is a native OF that city, was ed
ucated in the public schools there and
finished his studies in the college of
Bruises and the University OF London.
Mrs. Castle ID very beautiful woman
and has been conspicuous in local
way. The charge OF sh0plifting pre-
feFred by the London detectives against
both man and wife hac caused the ut
most astonshment among the friends
of the Castles at their home. The po-
lice say they can prove that goods val
ued at $500 have been stolen and re-
;use to believe that Mrs Castle, II a
kleptomanlac, could have taken such a
vast quantity without her husbands
knowledge. Not wcrd has been said
In San Francisco MS to Mrs. Castle
having been a kleptGmaniac, and the
Scotland Yard police centend that II
this claim as 70 the lady's malady be
true II is the most remarkable case OF
acute kleptomania they have ever seen.
The English laws are very severe in
cases Of this kind, larceny being fell
ony. Lord Rothschild has interested
himself in the matter, and the United
States embassy in London Is doing all
it can to assist the Castles.
