Dear Hal:
Poor Du Maurier said that the sue
cess Of "Trilby'' had killed him. An
mel II he could only have seen the
recent Salt Lake production; it might
have operated on him as veritable
elixir of life. We all turned out as
hungrily as ever Wednesday night, for
even though the .aTrilby'' craze had
been on the wane before. the death of
its author gave it temporary rejuve-
nation, and there was curiosity, too, TO
see what a new 'Trilby'' would do
with the part. Barring the fact that
she showed US her real pink ankles
and toes, she was in no way striking,
and Edith Crane need not feel at all
fearful of having her image sponged
of memory's blackboard by Miss Barry's
achievements. As for Little Billee-
well. it was only for one night, and
the actor who perpetrated it was safe
over the Wyoming border by the time
next mornings paper appeared The
whole production was an illustration of
the same old story we've grown SO IA
miliar with. First season, a grand
production, the original New York com
pany carrying every stitch of its own
scenery" Second season, company
number two travels on the reputation
of company number one, cheap people,
10 scenery. or next to none, cheap
production throughout, compelled
sSlrough rush of engagements to book
for one night only. Our first glimpse
of "Trilby" left a beautiful impression;
the next was Trilby'' Bradyized, and
all the dirt and tinsel showed through.
But in spite of all the drawbacks of
q cheapened edition, in spite of Little
Billee, the wonderful story still exerted
d certain charm; the picture of Be-
Nemian life in Paris is fascinating
there's no escaping from it: the Sven
gall was strong, powerful. even though
he was not Lackaye, and the Madam
Wizard and Gecko were left over from
the original. I never thought the Taffy
and the Laird quite filled the bill be-
fore, and 10 my notion they are in
sufficient still.
/ wonder why so clever a dramatist
as Paul Potter didn't change the sing
ing episode. That is the one weak
point in the whole drama, and always
was. To allow your characters to rave
over the voice of La Svengali, TO de-
scribe her as something beyond Albani
and greater than La Patti, and then
TO trot out a very fair to middling
singer in ben Bo,t"-always verged
dangerously close to the ludicrous.
VI t1lfrSudy ulSni , tSlipSeI u allA
aud Ailsani came very near to wander
ing into d neighboring key.
Mr.. Steve Brodie played to three
beggarly houses, and but for the
thought of Manager Buttons face as he
applied q microscope to his share of
the receipts could rejoice. Your Sui
livans, Corbetts, Jacksons, Mitchells
and Brodies on the boards thar Julia
Marlowe has trod seems to me only one
degree short of proclamation.
There is still around the Grand the
hushed sort of sensation Indigenous to
funeral. Enough money is coming in for
the stock company. but not for the
stockholders. MY Partner" has not
lit the popular fancy. and 1 incline to
Ihe belief that no mining camp drama
could. Next week the company plunges
into THE Society,"" when we shall see
what we shall see. MARGE-

Two nirorces Granted.

Annie. Steiner was granted decree
of divorce from Joseph l.. Steiner by
default, j. NJ. Hamilton appearing for
the plaintiff. The grounds were deser-
ton and failure to support.
Eliza Jones also obtained a divorce
from Henry Jones by default with At
torney A. N Cherry representing the
plaintiff. The parties intermarried at
Chicago on January 90 1891, and in
May, 1891, the defendant deserted his
wife, and since has failed to prosfide
her with the common necessaries of
life, although abundantly able to do
SO.
The decree was granted and the
plaintiff allowed to resume her maiden
name of Eliza Hardie.

and that the patronage bestowed upon
it was not up TO the s. r. .. point.
The Marlowe's many friends in this
city will hope for better fortune for
the weeks bills which follow.
The active and energetic ladies who
are supporting the kindergarten cause
in this city have at last secured an at
traction in aid of their enterprise
which they rightly think is a notable
one. 1t is no less than the appearance
of the renowned lady divine, the Rev
Anna Shaw, and her lecture for the
benefit of the kindergarten associa-
ton will be given in the tabernacle
on the evening of Nov. 9. The admis-
sion Will only be % cents, and the wide
fame of the lady ought to fill the build
ing.
A letter to a friend in this city from
Mrs. Jennie Hawley Woodrow says
that of all the dramatic attractions
running in San Francisco, "a Prisoner
of Zenda'' was the foremost. Mr..
Hackett and Maud Odell both won
hearty favor. lIrs. Woodrow says that
Howard Kyle and Victory Bateman of
the opera house and Harry Clarke and
Madge Carr Cook of Frawley's COM
pany all seem strong favorites with
by the way, played Cinders in "A Lost
Paradise" She speaks highly of the
production of Aida at the Tivoli and
mentions Michelene, Emma Abbott's
tenor, as among the singers. George
Lask is still stage manager of that
house. Mrs. Woodrow says the Salt
Lake artist, Will Clawson, is on the
staff of the Call where his cartoons
daily appear under the nom de plume
of "Klaw."
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct "a
Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin is preparing for
a legal battle with her actor husband.
Through her New York lawyers Howe
& Hummel, she has forwarded to At
torneys Dunno & McPike an affidavit
which the latter will use in defending
their client in the local courts against
her husbands charges.
Mrs. Goodwin's affidavit, after MAX
ing a general denial to the charges Of
habitual intempeTance on her part re-
cites her experience in the New York
courts with her husband She tells of
her successful suit for maintenance
three years ago, which resulted in her
husband being compelled to pay her
$15. 900.
She then turns the tables on the actor
and mentions as CORRESPONDENTS two
well known ladies of the theatrical
world. No mention is made of Maxine
Elliott, whose name has already figured
in the Goodwin case. Dunno &, McPike
will file an answer to Nat Goodwin's
complaint next week.

In the case of the State of Utah ex
rel. Morgan Richards. jr., state auditor,
plaintiff, vs.. Charles E. Stanton, clerk
of the Third district court, the supreme
court ordered that a peremptory writ
of mandate issue for Mr.. Stanton to
pay to the state treasurer fees col

Total Observation-Disclosures. So, 299 o.
The plaintiff, as state auditor, filed
his petition for writ of mandate re-
curing the defendant as clerk of the
Third district court to pay into the
state treasury the sum of 81, 70, col
lected by him. as fees in civil and GRIM
inal cases, except in probate cases, be-
tween Jan. and June 4, 1896, both days
inclusive, which sum he had failed TO
pay into the state treasury, but on
the advice and instructions of the
county commissioners, had paid into
the county treasury. The plaintiff also
claimed % per cent of the amount as
damages, and asked for judgment for
that amount. S1,197:32.
The defendant. answering. set IN
that prior to the plaintiffs demand
and by instructions of the board of
county commissioners he had paid the
fees to the county treasurer of Salt
Lake county.
The opinion quoted chapter 16, ses-
sion laws of 1896, page SO, and the state
constitution, and held that these made
it clearly obligatory for the fees in
question to be paid to the state treas
urer
The defendant, in his answer, asked
that County Treasurer Lynn be made
a party defendant, and on this point
the opinion says: .It does not follow
that because the defendant has seen
fit to pay the money in question to W.
P. Lynn, county treasurer, with or
without the order of the county court
that the plaintiff should be compelled
to make Lynn party defendant to the
action. The defendant as a public Of
ficer should not be permitted to shift
his pecuniary or official responsibilities
in that way. The law holds the clerk
responsible to the state for the faith
full performance of his duty, and we
must hold him responsible under such
law. So far Mr.. Lynn is and should
be treated as stranger to the pro-
ceedings. The order of the county
court, if made as claimed, is a mere
nullity. Neither the constitution nor
laws of the state confer upon the
county court authority to dispose of
such fees belonging to the state. The
payment of the fees by the county
clerk to the county treasurer was a
wrongful assumption of power and a
clear violation of official duty, and can
not be upheld when set up as de-
Tense in this case"
The opinion was written by Justice
Miner and concurred in by Chief JUS
tice Zane and Justice Bartch con-
Cured in the conclusion reached.
