"ALABAMA" TONIGHT.
Returns Still Again to Topeka-About
Its Last Visit Here.

The Clement cambridge company,
which includes Mr.. VIII WadsWorth of
this city, will present Augustus Thomas
Alabama at the Grand Opera House
tonight Alabama" is a story of the
south fifteen years after the war and is
fuH OF refining sentiment such as char
acterlzeS all the productions of Augustus
Thomas. 1t is the play that made Thom-
as famous on it's initial production in
New York city some years ago, and is
probably the best he has written. DE
sides Clement cambridge and VIII Wads-
worth. the company includes Fred Now
er, Harry NJ Allen, w. F. Molitor L. P
Hicks, Robert CONFESS, F. w. Kensil,
ing. Helen Weathersby, Eta Alexander
and Kate Dooling.
1t is quite probable that "Alabama''
Will not come again to Topeka This
town can furnish good audiences for
play for two or three seasons but after
that it ceases to draw. There is a de-
mand for something new. So those who
have never seen Alabama" should take
advantage of this presentation of it.

LOST HIS NERVE.
a Couple Made a Suicide Agreeme emit
The Girl Died, Her Lover Still
Lives

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Because their parents
thought them too young to marry, Nellie
Uren, 10 years of age, and Obbie Heath
one year younger, decided to commit sui
eide. The girl killed herself by drinking
carbolic acid, but the boys nerve failed
him at the last minute, and he stood by
and watched his sweetheart die.
The young couple visited of the
downtown theaters last evening and. aft
er the performance, they walked the
streets discussing their troubles. Late in
the night they decided that the time to die
had come, and entered the coal shed of
Adolph Christensen. which is fully twelve
miles from the theater where they had
been earlier in the night. Here they passed
the bottle of acid back and forth several
times neither having the courage to
drink Finally the girl drank half of it.
and as soon as she felt the effects of the
acid she begged young Heath not to
drink it, and he began making efforts for
her relief. She died within few hours,
however. Heath said he intended to
drink, but the girls agony was too much
for him.

THE GOVERNORS WIFE.
Her Power as Mistress of the
Executive Mansion.
LEADER OF OFFICIAL SOCIETY.

The Wives OF Four New Governors-Mrs.
Wisconsin. Mrs. stephens OF Missouri
and Mrs. Mount of Indiana.
The wife of the new governor is gen.
orally a person of almost as much public
interest along about inauguration time
as was her husband just after his nemi-
nation. By the time he has been elected
and is ready to assume Office his ante
cedents have been reviewed for several
generations back, his career has been re-
hearsed from the time when che first
saw the light and his character has
been infinitely dissected. His wife,
however, remains in the background
until the public suddenly realizes that,
as mistress of the executive mansion,
she is to be a woman of no little impor-
tanoe for the next few years.
So it is abouGthis season of the year
when the wives of the new governors
are brought to the front and subjected
to the calcium glare of the Sunday news
papers. Their habits, fads, fancies,
families, foibles and furbelows are ez-
plotted at length and with many accom-
panying illustrations. for every reader
in the state, especially every feminine
reader, wants to know what kind of a
woman the wife of the chief executive
is and what may be expected of her.
And really a great deal depends upon
the governors wife. Not the policy of
state, to be sure, but to her it is left to
mold the character of the official circle
of capital society. By virtue of her po-
sition as mistress of the governors
household she is the social leader during
her husbands term of Office. 1t makes
no difference whether she is qualified
for tho position or not. Her duties are
almost as distinctly defined in the un-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-01-04

written law of official society as those
of her husband which are laid down in
the statute books. She cannot shirk
them. Society expects her to do certain
things in the line of entertaining, and
she soon comes to realize that these de-
mands are not to be ignored or sighted.
Her inclinations may lead her to prefer
to shun all kinds of public functions,
but this excuse is not taken.
In rare cases it happens that the gov
ernor is bachelor, but in such instances
he is expected to invite some near rela-
tive to supply the deficiency. Should
the wife of the governor be confirmed
invalid, as was Mrs Mckinley, then he
is expected to have some woman con-
nected with his family who can dis
charge the duties of hostess.
The wife of the governor is not abso-
lutely ruled by capital society, however.
nor can she exercise more than a limited
sway herself But she has it in her
power to pattern the official functions
according to her own particular ideas.
If she be socially ambitious and have
the wealth necessary to carry out her
ideas, then that particular state capital
is assured of brilliant social season,
during which she will improve her op-
portunities of SO firmly establishing her.
self in exclusive circles that when she
is no longer mistress of the executive
mansion she will still be received at the
homes of the socially elect.
Should she be retiring, unambitious
and economical, then capital society will
find the official functions few and per-
haps not wisely managed. Society will
have its revenge, as it imagines, by ex-
Guiding the governors wife from some
of its private and select affairs, for
which exclusion the governors wife
will probably feel thankful. If she has
strong religious tendencies, then the
particular church to which she belongs
will reap the benefit.
So the society at the state capital
changes in some respects with the ad-
vent of each new governors wife. Peo-

TO SHAME MEN SPITTERS.
Baltimore Woman's Plan to Cure Men
of Filthy Habit.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. A Baltimore
woman has suggested the following as
sure to break men of the filthy habit of
splitting in street cars:
Whenever a male passenger on a
street car begins to eXpectorate let
every woman aboard just look steadily
at him. There need be no especial Sc
verify expressed by the look, nor an
excess of indignation or rebuke, for too
much feeling shown in a glance, if the
guilty fellow were inclined to be coarse,
might subject one to an insulting re-
mark. But each female face should
wear a well-bred air of offended deli
cacy and surprise. There is not a wo-
man out of ten in this city, will ven
ture to assert, who will not understand
how to express all these emotions in a
single look and not oVerdO it.
IN union there is strength, so, of
course, when man is to be reproved
in this fashion for his tranSgression, let
the look of every woman in the car be
concentrated upon the man. Believe
me, there is nothing in the world that
will make that man feel smaller and
more ashamed of himself for the filthy
practice than this unanimity of rebuk-
ing glanceS.'
