Madrid may be also delayed. he will IN
dOubtedly prove acceptable. eventually

Police Raid a Dog Fight and
Arrest Society People.

Washington. D. c.. Dec. pa police
raid on the stable in the rear of Senator
Cullom's house on Massachusetts avenue
resulted in the breaking up of dog fight
and the arrest of four men and a woman,
who were enjoying the battle.
Two of the men wore evening dress
suits. The young woman, who gave her
name as Alice Berry at the police station,
was richly dressed and wore diamonds.
She refused to tell her correct name and
said that, as this was her first dog fight,
she was very much annoyed at being so
rudely hustled to jail. Later she was re-
leased on collateral which was afterwards
forfeited. The men in evening dress gave
their names as John H. Almas and Jack
Trumbo, and said they were real estate
agents.
The mysterious woman who was caught
in the raid is said to be Mrs. Ingersoll,
wife of the newly appointed consul to
Copenhagen. Mr.. IngersOn is a resident
of the District of Columbia and the state
ment that his wife was present at the
dog fight is denied

Breach Between De Wolf and

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2O.-De Wolf Hopper
and his wife. Edna Wallace Hopper. have
not yet kissed and made up" according
to reports circulated concerning their re-
cent engagement here.
1t seems that Mrs. Hopper has insisted
on riding in the same car with her hus-
band, in opposition to his wishes, and
Wednesday, when the company played
here, Hopper posted the following signed
orders in prominent place:
Hereafter there will be four seats indi-
Gated in the special car of the De Wolf
Hopper company on day trains for Mrs.
Hopper, Miss Waltzinger, Miss Judson
and Miss Hosmer. All members of this
company are notified that no visitors will
be permitted in the dressing rooms or on
the stage at any time without special per-
mission of Mr.. Cripps, who is the stage
manager
It appears that Mrs. Hopper has been
receiving gentlemen visitors in her dress
ing rooms lately, and on such occasions
Hopper is said to have been so angered as
to be hardly able to control himself. 1t
is believed this recent development will
ultimately result IN the dismemberment
of the company.
1t is said the strained relations existing
between husband and wife due to the
admira ton of Hopper for Nellie Bergen,
who was until recently the prima donna
of the organization, and who is soon to
create the leading role in Sousa's new
opera, 1.-The Bride-Elect."
Mrs. Hopper is said to have said that

Cannot be as They Should and
Succead.

London, Dec. 20.-CIement Scott the

by the circulation of advance sheets
of an interview for Great Thoughts, -
attacking the morals of the stage. His
utterances are based on the most inti-
mate lifelong acquaintance with the
personnel of the profession and his po-
sition as a dean of the London critics
gives his views Importance. Seeing
the advance reception Mr.. Scott re-
quested the editor not to print the in
terview, which he refused to do Mr..
Scott in the interview said it was near
ly impossible for a woman to remain
the freedom of life. speech and gesture
behind the curtain rendered it almost
impossible for a woman to preserve
that simplicity of manner which is her
greatest charm" ="
What is infinitely more to be de-

who endeaVors to keep her purity is
almost as a necessity fOredOomed to
failure in her career. 1t is an awful
thing to say, and still more terrible, it
as true, but no one who knows the life
of the green room dare deny it,
Mr.. Scott says the English stage is
the worst because the English are the
more completely without the saving
grace of humOr than any nation"
Being interviewed on the subject of
this interview Mr.. Scott protests that
it is not an attack on the stage, that he

Two Young Women at Webster
City, Iowa,
COWhide the Pastor of the Pres
byterian Church
AT THE CHURCH DOOR
He Had Criticised Their At
tendance at a Dance.
The Victim Was Unable to
Hold Evening Service.

Webster City, Ia, Dec 20.-A dance
Saturday night brought down the CEN
sure of Rev. n. A. Forrest in his ser
mon at the Walnut Grove Presby
church yesterday morning, and in his
remarks he criticised severely the young
women who attended. The dance
wound up in a row. and he said no
woman who thought anything of her.
self would attend such a gathering.
In his congregation was Miss Lille
Barstow and Miss Mary Cunningham,
both of whom We're present at the
dance. They left the church and going
to their homes, each secured a small
whip, and returning, met the minister
as he was leaving the church and gave
him q. severe drubbing. He attempted
to explain to them, but they would not
listen to him. Several large welts were
raised on his face, and the fact that he
was protected by a fur coat was all
that saved his body. He was prOstrat-
ed last night and unable to hold ser
vices.
The young women are the daughters
of prominent farmers and we'll thought
of in the community. Sympathy is main
ly on their side. They attended the
dance, but did not know the rOughs
would be there. Persons who sympa-
thize with Rev. Mr. Forrest were at his
residence all the afternoon.
Miss Cunningham who was first to
strike the minister, was several feet in
advance of Miss Barstow. She had
her whip concealed under a cloak, and
as she stepped toward him she asked: ::
Did you mean what you said in
church this mOrning?'
Yes, 1 did,
The words We're no sooner out of his
mouth than she gave him a severe cut
over the face. His wife, who was with
him, screamed and ran, and Miss Bar
stow then took a hand in the matter.
Rev. Mr.. Forrest tried to protect his
face with his arms and hands from the
downpour of blows. but could not do it
effectively. After a few minutes of ap-
plying the whip the young women went
to their homes.
