WHY THE PLAY DID NOT 60 ON.
Margaret Mather's Leading Man Ar
rested for Grand Larceny.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The large audi
ence which had assembled in Wallack's
Theater this evening to witness the first
performance of Miss Margaret Mather's
revival of ''Cymbeline" was dismissed at
8 o'clock, owing to the arrest on
charge of grand larceny of Edward j.
Henley, who was to play the role OIL
IachimO.
The arrest was made as Mr.. Henley
was entering the stage door Of the The-
ater at $50 o'clock. He was taken to
the West Thrtieth-street police station,
where, owing to the charge being felony,
bail was refused. Efforts were made by
C. w Burnham, manager of the theater,
and by friends to procure the attend
ance at the police station of Magls-
trate, but their efforts were unaValhng.
After holding the audience until y
O'Clock, it was decided that an an
nouncement be made to the audience to
the effect that the performance be post
poned until tomorrow evening.
While this announcement was beng
made Miss Mather was in her dressing
room almost Frustrated.
Mrs. Hoffman Martin says she ad-
vanced $50 to Henley while he was re-
hearsing in her company at the Murray
Hill Theater and received an order from
him on Miss Mather for the amount
She says that she had presented the
order to Miss Mather, and it was re-
pudiated.
The manager offered to settle the in
debtedness ait once, but the detective
said the warrant called for the arrest or
Henley. and that he would have to take
him to the police station. 1t was pro-
posed that the detective stand in the
wings and permit Mr.. Henley to go
through the performance before he was
removed to the station, but this was
positively refused. Then messengers
were sent in all directions after mag
istrate to take bail, but none could be
found.
Henley, while he was a prisoner this
evening, said: This woman has been
threatening me for several days by
letter and verbally 1 shall prosecute
her to the fullest extent of the law for
false imprisonment. l am surprised

SMARTEST MONKEY.
Plays the Violin and Rides a Bicycle

Consul, who is reputed to be the most
brilliant monkey in the world. now
plays the violin, in addition to his nu-
merous other accomplishments. This

r. l.. Garner, the intimate friend Of
gorillas, acknowledges Consul to be the

Consul is a chimpanzee. and there

simians. He is now in the Zoo at
Manchester, England
Playing the violin is his very latest
accomplishment. He does this with
much vigor and enthusiasm. Consider

ment very correctly. His keeper says
that he had little difficulty in teaching

According to our ideas, he would be
considered a much better bicyclst than
musician. He performs upon the two
wheels with more skill than any ami
NAL who has yet ventured into this
field. His keeper says that he would
make guys of all the animals in Mr..
Hagenbeck's circus who pretended to
be cyclists.
Equally wonderful are his perform

only himself, but Keeper Webb. The
latter has taught him to do these tricks,

TRIAL OF SANDERS.
Sensation Sprung by the Finding of a
Package of Forged Letters.

FRESNO, Jan. 25-A sensation was
sprung by the prosecution this morn

has been granted new trial after hav-
ing twice been convicted of forging the
name of w. A. Wooton. and who is sus-
peoted of having murdered the wealthy

also to be discharged, was found
package of letters, agreements. etc. to

been forged. The object of the forged
papers was to establish the innocence
of Sanders. The prosecution secured
possession Of the papers and claims
that Sanders guilt can now be easily
esta blished. The suspicion that San
ders murdered Wootton is now mate

ONLY BIG CHILDREN.
That is What Professor Lombroso
Calls Women.

Are women big children? This very
astonishing question has been asked
by the world and has been answered.
The greatest authority of the age, Fro
fessor Caesar LombrosO, has made 1t a
special subject, and with powerful en-
phasis he answers: Women are m
deed nothing but big children.
Revond that. and more terrible for
thf. world. most children being possess
ed of strong passions and evil tenden-
cies, being revengeful, Jealous and
cruel, women are possessed of the same
tendencies. and, added to them is physi-
cal strength. AS the child would
terrible if possessed of sufficient
strength, women, according to Lom-
brosos idea, possess all these quallhca-
tions for being terrible, even though
the forces may be dormant.
There is no use in women trying
to question the authority for TINS Sc
we're statement, for Professor Lombro-
SO usually knows very we'll What ne Is
talking about and is entitled to respect
full attention. If the accused Will there
fore stand forth, the arraignment VIII
begin. Here is Lombroso's argument:
Women have many traits in common
with children; their moral sense is de-
ficient: they are revengeful, jealous,
inclined to vengeance of a refined cru
city.
I'm ordinary cases these defects are
neutralized by piety, maternity, want
of passion, sexual coldness, by weak
ness and undeveloped intelligence. But
when morbid activity of the psychl-
cal centerS intensifieS the bad qualtleS
of women and induces them to seek
relief in evil deeds; when piety and ma
ternal sentiments are wanting, and IN
their place are strong passions and IN
tensely erotic tendencies, much muscu-
lar strength and a superior intelligence
for the conception and execution of evil,
II is clean. that the innocuouS semi
criminal present in the normal woman
n,,st he transformed into a born Grim
inal more terrible than any man.
what terrific criminals would chill
dren be if they had strong passions,
muscular strength and sufficient in
telligence: and if, moreover, their evil
tendencies were eXasperated by a NOR
bid pssychical activity. And women are
big children; their evil tendencies are
more numerous and more varied than
mems. but generally remain latent.
When they are awakened and excited,
tbey produce results proportionately
greater"
Returning to the charge, the Pro-
fessor continues:
Most often the hatreds and ven
geances of women are of complicated
origin The personal susceptibility
which we note both in the, child and the
| normal woman rise to a pitch of NOR
bid intensity. Every small check in the
struggle for life produces hatred Of
somebody in them, and frequently the
| hatred ends in crime.
"A disappointment turns to hate for

BALLOTING FOR SENATOR.
No Choice Yet in Either Utah, Idaho
or Washington.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 25.-Four ballots
for United States Senator were taken

The only change of moment from the
previous ballot of Saturday was that
the PopuliSts left Claggett and threw
their votes to Walton. They did this,
it is asserted, not with any hope of
electing him, because they knew the
Democrats on this ballot were going to
support Nelson, and the Populists can
nos elect anybody without the help of
the Democrats. The Populists and
Democrats are no nearer an agreement
than they were two weeks ago. Dubois
holds his twenty Silver Republican
| votes solid day by day, and the hopes
! OF his supporters tonight are strong
that the Democrats will soon weary of
their efforts at combination with the
