MARBLEDALE.
nia for a week
A POVERTY PARTY.

The regular fortnightly sociable of St Andrews Mite society was held or Friday evening, having been postponed on account of Thursdays storm. As it was 8 ''Poverty party'' the costumes were an occasi m of much laughter, and we venture to state that such an asSort- ment of rags as was exhibited by some of the men was never seen before out, aide carpet weaver's. Alter fines had been levied on all well dre ssed guests, the most disrepurable ones were lined up before the committee to decide on the reward of the prizes. This was dfi- cult task, as Philip Rydell, Walter Leavenworth, Arthur Stone and Seth Taylor, seemed from the condition of their clothes, to be plunged in about equal depths of poverty, but after some deliberation Rev MT Ockford and Mrs Julia Watson, the judges. assigned the prize to Seth Taylor, the ladies prize going to Miss Esther ToohY. In the spirited, not to say boisterous peanut hunt which followed, Joe DeVeaux was the successful one, with thirty peanuts found out of two quarts concealed in various parts of the room. A short musical program was then given. Mrs Corning played the piano, Mrs Denslow sang, and Leonard Fleezer pleased all with several banjo solos. MT Ockford recited by request 8 very humorous 8 selection, and 8 truly soc.able spirit pre- vailed. The usual light refreshments were then served and the very pleasant evening came to an end. The next so- ciable will be held at William Dougals on December 3.
 It is.reported that Mrs Cornelia Clark has bought the house where Moses DeVeaux is now living.
 John Toohy has been on the sick list.
 Grading for the sidewalks has con- menced.

MRS. BOYD RAN FOR JOY
When She was Acquitted of the
Charge of Making False Pen
sion Afidavits

The t1ry in the United States district
court this morning returned a verdict of
not guilty in the case against Mrs. Mia
Boyd, charged with making false pension
affidavits Mrs. Boyd is the wife of
Richard Boyd, the old colored man who
guards the rock pile prisoners at the city
jail, and when the verdict was returned
she was so overjoyed that she at once
set out a run to tell her husband. Her
joy increased at every jump, and by the
time she finished the three flights Of
stairs in the federal building and reached
Kansas avenue she w.2s happy enough
to do anything. On the opposite corner
she ran pell-meIl into Police Sergeant Tim
Donovan, and when she discovered who
it was it took heroic measures on the part
of the officer to prevent her from throw
ing her arms about his neck While she
told of her good fortune.
Mrs. Boyd was married before she met
Richard Boyd, and had a son by her for
mer husband. He was old soldier,
and when he died she made affidaVits to
secure a pension for her son. The pension
authorities received informa ton that the
boy illegitimate, and commenced
prosecution against Mrs. Boyd on this the
ory. The government failed to make the
charge stick.

Washington, April 21.-The Turkish
legation has received an Official dis
patch sent from ConstantinOple at an
early hour this morning as follows:
The village of KreitchOra has been
occupied by the imperial troops The
division of Nechad Pasha fought until
half past II CAST EVENING" and took
possession of all points comman ndlng the
plains of Larissa, except hillock,
which owing to the advanced hour has
remained in the hands of the Greeks,
but this points also is surrounded from
three sides and exposed to the fire of
the Turkish guns, can but fall soon
in the power of the Turkish army. In
these quarters and at Badji u prison
ers and great quantity of ammunition
of war have been taken. The Greeks
who We're defeated at NfilOuna Pass, fed

Daily Chronicle from Athens says that
the Turkish fleet has juse left the Dar-
Athens April 21.-The Greek ironcIad
Spetzai. which had been taking. part in
the bombardment OF the turkish fortifi-
cations at Prevesa, has been ordered to
Tsagheri, in the gulf of Volo-
Paris April 21.-The correspondent of
La Journal at Athens had an interview
with King George of Greece at the palace.
His majesty IS quoted as saying that he
believed to the last moment that peace
would be main tanned and did his utmost
to bring bout pacific solution of the
matters in dispute.
The king denied that Greece commenced
the hOstilities against Turkey and argued
that Turkey was not compelled to go to
war because OF the incurSion of few in
surgents whom nobody could have re-
strained. Continuing, King George said:
The truth is we were attacked because
Turkey was ordered to attack US. There
never would have been war but for GER
tain intrigues which will appear later.
All the powers are more or less against
US. If they wanted war they have got
it. Such is the result of the European
concert. Europe must understand that
after forcing US to war there can be no
question of limiting it. Our fleet is des-
tined TO take an important part, as will
soon be learned. Greece understands
that she must either be victorious or dis
appear. The war may be prolonged and
bloody but it is now too late TO stop. A
great crime has been committed against
right and humanity in the Cretan ques-
ton and the chastisement has now COM
Tnenced.' -

DRAMA IN TABLEAUX
Is What Kansas City Paper Styles
Miss Mather's "CymbeIine."


Of Margaret Mather's "Cymbeline,"
which opened at the Auditorium in
Kansas City Monday night, and will be
presented at the Grand in this city
next Monday night, the Kansas City
Star has the following to say:
Could William Shakespeare have seen
Miss Mather's revival of Gym mbeline''
at the Auditorium last night no one
doubts the great poets exclamation. 1t
would have been:
by Jupiterl these scene painters
and costumers are greater than To-
"Cymbeline" is a drama in tableaux.
It was played last night in six acts,
each act having three and four scenes.
The individual pieces of the scene
painters art were: The garden of
King Cymbeline's palace in Britain;
Philario's palace in Rome; interior of
Cymbeline's palace in Britain; in front
of Cymbeline'S palace in Britain; 1mO-
gems bedchamber; PhilariO'S house in
Rome; the Cave of Belarius in Wales;
a vale in Wales near Milford Haven;
Cymbeline's palace; Wales, near the
cave of BelariuS; near the Roman
camp: scene near the battle between
the Romans and BritOnS; another scene
near the battle, and at CymbeHne'S s
tent in Britain.
The costumes were vividly accurate
and artistic The distinction of phySi-
cal type, dress and arms between the
BritOnS and Romans was historically
correct, more accurate, in fact, than
ShakeSpeare'S text. The BritOnS were
all represented with long red or blonde
hair, the lords and captains were beard
ed and mustached, whereas the Romans
We're represented as dark, with smooth
faces and clipped hair.
Miss Mather played ImOgen with in
tensity Imogen is a character with
out a law. Miss Mather looked very
handsome and answered curtain calls
with sweetness and dispatch.
The entertainment was at once Curl
Gus and splendid.
The sale of seats for Miss Mathers 5
production will open at Shows drug
store tomorrow morning at o'clock
The prices will be $3.50, $1.0O, IS and SO
cents.

Rufe Cone and Lewelling are quietly
fixing up a scheme to accomplish this
purpose and are also planning a raid
upon the governor, armed with evidence
with which the fight is to be made
against the present board
It is understood that the administra-
ton of affairs at Wichita at the present
time is just such as suits that city and
that little dissatisfaction has been
aroused because of the manner in which
the police department is being conduct
ed. The money which is collected from
the joints and saloons IS being turned
into the city treasury and as a general
rule the situation seems to be the en-
bodiment of all that is pleasing to
Wichita.
During Governor dwellings admins
tratiOn, Cone was chief of police and
now occupies the office Of sheriff His
ambition it is alleged is to run the city
administration and without members
of the Lewelling faction in power it is
impossible for him to do so. This then
seems to be the secret of the anticipated
fight between the crowds.

COURT MARTIAL CALLED.
Fort Leavenworth Army Official in
Difficulty.

Chicago. April 21.-Genera1 John r.
Brooke has issued an order sconvening
a general court martial at Fort Sheri-
dan, April %. The order is for a full
court of 13 mem bers, no member being
less in rank than a captain, and Lieu
tenant Col. Clous, deputy judge advo-
cate general. is named as the judge
advocate of the court. The inference is
that a captain is to be tried.
Yes" said Gen. Brooke, the court
has been ordered and there is an Off
Ger in jeopardy, but he may make it all
right and the order for the court may
be revoked. For this reason I will not
diVulge the name of the officer to be
tried. No member of the court knows
it and it may never know it if the mat
ter is Strengthened OUT
While admitting nothing more, the
inference from Mr.. BrOoke's talk is
like the officer in question has become
involved in debt which he may liqui-
date before being .arraigned for trial, or
he may have duplicated his pay ac-
count, which he will be allowed to
straighten out, if he can, before April
2S
The detail for the court service is as
follows:
Col. Robert E. Hall. 4th infantry;
Lieut.. Colonel Henry Carroll, 9Th cav
airy; Major Gilbert Carpenter. 4th in
fantry; Major Eli L. Huggin, 9Th cav
ry; Captain John B. Kerr, 9Th cavalry;
Captain Butler D Price, 4th infantry:
Captain John B. Redman. goth infant
ry; Captain George s. Grimes. End ar
tillery; Captain Charles B. Hall, 18th
infantry; Captain r. H. Wainwright,
1st cavalry; Lieut.. COLI. w. Clous dep
uty Advocate.
The majority of the court is from Ft.
Leavenworth,s so the military is
that the officer in the difficulty is from
that post.

TO ORGANIZE TONIGHT.
Commercial Club Will Complete Ar
rangements for "Auditorium
Association.n

The Commercial club will meet to-
night to complete the arrangements for
the organization of the Auditorium
association" The Topeka Commercial
club is now recognized as a factor in
the progress of the city. The club has
shown itself perfectly able to cope with
questions where the interests of the
city are involved. That fact will be
responsible for a growth which under
other circumstances might be consid-
cred remarkable. Several new mem
berS will be taken into membership to-
night and the officers of the club ex-
pect many more soon.
When the business men of the city
find that they have the right kind of
an organization, which has no other
excuse for it's existence than to work
for the interests of the city they will
do all they can to show their apprecia-
ton.
The club will name three memb bers of
the committee to look after the details
of the auditorium. The club will then
look to the committee for the active
work, but will continue to take a
friendly interest in the project.
The proposition to hold a Business
Mems Banquet" will probably be dis
cussed at the meeting tonight and def
mite arrangements may be made to
carry out the plans proposed at the
last meeting
