MR.. vROOMAN AND BRIDE.
at Hotel Beers and He Won't Discuss
Their Ages

st. Louis, March Rev. Walter
Vrooman and his bride arrived from
Baltimore at o'clock last evening, and
went to Hotel Beers, where they are re-
ceiving their friends
Mrs. VrOOman was Miss Annie L.
Graff1in, daughter of the late George
W. Graff1in of Baltimore. The ceremo-
ny was performed at the brides resi-
dence, Thursday evening, by Rev. DR..
Weld of the Unitarian church, of which
denomination Mrs. Vrooman is a mem
Der. She and Mr.. Vrooman became ac-
quafnted several years ago, when he
timore.
The wedding was a very quiet one.
Only the most intimate friends of Mr..
Vrooman were aware that he eontem-
plated committing matrimony.
Mr. VrOoman was shown the state
ment of morning paper to the effect
that his bride was ''Old enough to be
his MOTHER being 46 years of age, as
against his %, but he declined to re-
solve himself into a statistical bureau
and would make no statement as to the
correctness of the report.
His brother, Rev. H. c. Vrooman,
says Mrs. Walter Vrooman is older
than her husband, but that there is no
such discrepancy as the published
statement indicated.
She may be somewhere in the thir-
ties he said, 'ibut she is not nearly

of the Civic Federation, but is now

STATE CAPITOL IDEAS.
A Group of Buildings Favored in
Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg March 2-Governor Hast
ings is having almost daily consultations
with prominent men, to ascertain their
views of a new capitol building. Today
Calvin Wells, of the Philadelphia Press,
talked over the matter in the executive
chamber. Mr.. Wells said:
Il am firmly confident that it would be
a mistake to confine competition, either
Pennsylvania. The best brains and the
best building material that the United
States can produce are not too good for
Pennsylvania
What your views with regard to
the character of the new building"
suggested by Governor Hastings l do
not think that the entire sum of money to
be expended for this purpose should be
put in massive building. The lesson
of the recent fire is a forcible illustration
of the danger to which the archives of
the state are constantly subject The
great Importance of placing them in a
more secure structure cannot be overes-
tinated 1 do not think that the archi-
tects should be required to furnish plans
based upon any particular style of archi-
lecture, but should be left free to eXer-
else their Judgment and artistic tastes
What are your views the subject of
raising money for the new capitol?'
Il think that perhaps an emergency
tax, covering a period of three or four
years, would be the most available meth
cd, in view of the inability of the state to
contract a debt for such a purpose under
the constitution. In the building of this
from any suspicion of jobbery. The Re
publican party cannot afford anything OF
the kind, and the people will hold it
strictly to account in this respect"

One Effect of the Raines Law Here
Raines to See Party Leaders Today.

New York, March 2.-George Hill
lard Deputy Excise Commissioner for
this city, said yesterday that he be-
lieves there will be a. reduction of at
least 10 per cent in the number of licen-
sed liquor dealers in New York city for
the year beginning May 1. 1897. This
would mean something like 700 less Ii
censed places
Although the number of places will
be less we will collect as much money
for liquor tax as we did in 1885, said
Mr.. HiIliard, for this time the certifi-
Gates will be for a full year.
AS the right to sell under 1896 certifi-
Gates will expire on May l next, Deputy
Commissioner Hilliard has notified all
certificate holders if they wish to get
their new certificates on time to make
application for them as soon as posi-

Mr. Hilliard said that the Raines law
seems to be working to the satisfaction
of the liquor dealers and brewers in this
city, and he does not believe that they
want it amended.

RINGLING'S FUTURE HOME.
The Circus Will Hereafter Winter in
st. Louis.

St Louis, March Zone of the first
applicants for terms and dates at the
new Coliseum and Hippodrome to be
built in the exposition was the firm of
Ringing Bros, and as soon as the de-
tails of an agreement can be perfected
the big circus will be booked for
grand opening in the latest and great
est addition to ST. Louis places of
amusement.
It has been known for some time that
Ringing Bros. have been negotiating
with ST Louis parties for a suitable To-
cation here for winter quarters. They
now spend the closed months in small
from Chicago. where they are compell-
ed to go to buy their supplies. They
have decided to move the quarters,
small city in itself to St. Louis, and
Ringing upon this plan is one to estab-
fish in St. Louis a Winter Geological
garden that will be without a peer in
the United States.
A OcatiOn, it is said, has already been
selected close into the city on a rapid
transit line, and here within a year the
circus city, with its hundreds of en-
ployeS and thousands of animals of all
kinds, will be housed and al home. The
Geological Garden will adjoin the set
tlement, and in area and variety of at
fractions will Surpass anything of its
kind in the country. The Zoo will be
made a supply station as we'll as a
place of exhibit for the various species
of beasts, birds, fishes and reptiles
which are used in the mena gerieS of
the travelling circus, and no expense
will be spared to put the motley and
interesting collection of living curiosi-
ties in quarters that will be both pic
turesQue and in harmony with the nat
ural habits of the different creatures
in captivity.

HENDERSON'S OLD PLAYS.
Extravaganza Will Probably be Pro
duced on the Stage of McVicker's.

Chicago, March 2.-David Henderson
is to revive some of his extraVaganZaS
at McVicker's theater during the COM
ing summer. The deal between David
Henderson and Manager Sharpe of Nc
Vicker's has been conSummated very
stealthily. Nobody concerned will talk
at this time. All the same there is
good reason to believe that the agree
ment between Mr.. Henderson and the
McVicker management has reached the
stage of signed papers. Since Mr.. Hen
dersOn left the Chicago Opera House he
has been looking for a theater in which
to reproduce some of his old successes
and launch one or two new ideas in ex-
travanganza. While he has dallied
with comic opera at the Schiller and
with burlesque at the Gaiety, he has
never abandoned the idea of reviving
the Hendersonian tradition of extrav-
anganza-
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
Henderson would probably put on an
elaborate revival of the Crystal Slip
per- at McVicker'S in May or early
June with view to running it all sum
mer.

MRS. RODRIGUEz's STORY.
Incarcerated in a Filthy Prison Be-
cause Her Husband was a Cuban
General

Key West, Fla, March Mrs. Eva
Rodriguez. wife of Brig. General Alex
ander Rodriguez of the Cuban insur-
gent forces has arrived here. OF her
recent arrest and treatment by Spanish
officers she says:
Il was living in Puerto Principe with
relatives and my two daughters and
never went upon the streets, hearing
was watched. However, was not dis
turbed until January 10, when the po-
lice came to my house and told me
was under arrest, and in no polite
terms ordered me to go with him to
the governor. 1 protested against this,
saying I was an American citizen This
last expression, he sneered at and per-
emptorily ordered me to go with him.
We went to the Jail and I was placed in
a cell, where 1 found other women,
CubanS, but refined and educated lad
les, whose sole offense appeared to be
the same as mine-that they were rela-
tiveS of prominent and influential Gu
ban chieftainS.
They were Angela Silvia, Conception
AgramOnte de Sanchez, Maria Agullar
and Gabriela Vasona de Mirande.
found them all frightened and nervous.
They had been arrested the day before.
1 know now why my arrest was made
one day later, so as to give the mail
steamer for Havana a chance. so
could not communicate with General
Lee for a. week.
I'VE were kept in Puerto Principe Jail
held incommunicado so far as our
friends were concerned, and subjected
to all kinds of indignitieS for 81 days.
The cell was hardly large enough for
one person. Our soiled linen was
searched by the prison officials. We
heard nothing in our cells but the OBJ
scene and blasphemous words of the
criminals, huddled together in the adj
joining cells.
General Lee got notice of my arrest
by the 18th and obtained an order for
my immediate release, which reached
my jailer January q, but in spite of
this I was detained in prison four days
more, when we women were taken out
of the Jail and started for Havana.
All around we marched, manacled to-
gether, so in all. We were later I'M
bound, but exposed to the looks and
and were driven by a squad of cavalry
to the railroad station. Here we were
huddled in box carS-men and women
together-from a. m to Z p m jan
uary 81, while the guards jeered at our
unfortunate situation.
Arriving in Havana we were placed
in the house of refuge, the jail used for
abandoned women of the lowest type.
This small Jail, IL cells, contained on
our arrival there 95 women. We were
huddled in there, and there General Lee
found me- His face blazed with indig-
nation at the shame perpetrated on me
Here also I was visited by many rep
resentatives of the American press each
and all of whom were severe in de-
nouncing this outrage on an American
woman, whose only crime was that her
husband was fighting the battles of the
Cubans.
General Lee obtained my release,
since which time 1 stopped with friends
in Havana until the arrival of my
children from Puerto Principe, so that
I could go to the United States. I am
sure of protection here. My reception
in Key West is proof of this

IN A TURKISH HAREM.
Report That Two English Girls Are
Imprisoned at Teheran.

London, March Little credence is
attached to the reports sent here by
Fraser, Lunn and Lowe, the crack eye
lists. who are making a tour of Asia,
and have just left Teheran, the capital
of Persia, to the effect that two Eng
1ish girls are prisoners in the harem of
one of the Shah's advisers, having been
decoyed from London when the late
Shah visited England. A reference to
the files of the London papers of that
time and some months thereafter fails
to bring to light any reports of miss
ing girls, such as would be likely to
emanate from their families or rela-
tives, while at the Persian embassy the
matter is regarded in the light of a
joke.
The latest advices from the cyclists,
however, indicate that they have doc
umentary proof Of their previous state
ments, which they are holding until
their return to this country, being
afraid to trust it to the mails. The
matter has created a great deal of
newspaper and general comment.

JEFF DAVIS LATEST PLAN.
Would Start an Industrial Home for
Colored People.

Jeff Davis, the co1ored man who fire.
quently breaches on the street corners,
has started a new scheme. He pro-
poses to start a home for destitute col
ored people to be managed by an or
ganization composed of colored people.
He says the colored people can better
look after young colored children and
homeless women than the white people.
He proposes to start an institution
where the young people may be taught
to work and manufacture articles of
various kinds such as the manufacture
of clothing boots and shoes.
The matter is to be considered at a
meeting of colored people which has
not yet been called.

EXPIRED AT A BALL.
Senator Herbert of Virginia Drops
Dead While Seating His Partner.

Norfolk. Va, March 1.-The gayety
off the german, while at its height, was
brought to a sudden and tragic termin-
alton Saturday at midnight by the death
of State Senator A. E. Herbert.
While leading his partner to a seat,
Mr.. Herbert suddenly fell to the floor.
AS he had long suffered from fainting
spells due to an affection of the heart,
nothing serious was apprehended. but
when he was removed to an adjoining
room, it was discovered that life was
extinct.
Mr. Herbert was As years old and I'M
married. He was elected to the state
senate in 1888 and made brilliant rec
ord in that body. He was a son of the
late Edward H. Herbert of Princess
Anne, in which county he resided on a
large estate
