A HARD SLAP.
A Stage Quarrel in "Human
Hearts" is Carried On
Right Before the FOOtIights-
Pretty Miss BidWeH
SLABS LAWRENCE LEE
Far Harder Than the Version
of the Play Demands.
But He Plays Even in "The
Choking Scene.''

There was dash of domestic realism
in the matinee and evening performance
of Human Hearts" in this city Satur,
day. Mr.. Lawrence Lee and Miss Syl-
via Bidweu who play respectively the
parts of the villain and the Villains ac-
complete, are husband and wife, and
Saturday they were not on the best Of
terms. The spare time the couple put
in behind the scenes in the afternoon
Mrs. Lee utilized in lecturing her nus
band, and now and then Mr.. Lee would
retaliate. To use an expression of one
of the men on the stage, they were
''scrapping" all the afternoon.
There is a scene in the last act OF
the piece in which Lee, in a very eXas-
perating manner takes up a wine glass
and asks to catch tear from Miss
Bidwell's eyes. In the act of the play
she is supposed to slap him lightly on
the cheek in response to his request,
but Saturday afternoon before Lee had
hardly spoken his lines of DO let me
catch a tear" she jumped up from the
chair she was sitting in, delivered a
blow with the open hand on her hus-
bands cheek which could be heard with
distinction in every part of the theater
Lee, for tow or three minutes stood in
the middle of the stage. While the blood
leaped to his face and one hand in,
stinctively covered the cheek which had
been Sc realistically dealt with by his
wife. Then he recovered himself sud
denly, and went on with his lines bu;
1t was some minutes before the blood
left his face.
Had this been the only scene of the
kind in the act, Mrs. Lee might have
pridsd herself on a domestic victory,
but unfortunately for her II was not.
The audience saw the folly of her move
when a few minutes later the play
reached a scene where the villain chokes
his accOmplce. As Lee stepped for
ward and caught his wife by the
throat a smile lit up his features and
In an aside" which, however, was
loud enough to be heard at the back OF
the theater, he said, Here's where 1
get even with you"
When It was over he was undoubtedly
even. He forced his wife to her knees.
shook her backward and forward and
from side to side, and the blood in Miss
Bidweu's face and the grip of her hands
on her husbands arms showed plainly
that she was receiving much more
than the ordinary stage punishment.
Finally he dragged her over to a. chair
sitting by the side of a small table and
flung her into it. In the play she
strikes the table with her hand and
throws her head upon it, but this time

Strauss on the Joint Cases.

Chief Strauss is determined to con-
Wet the six jointists and he has taken
the stand that the truth must be told
on the witness stand. 1T has been the
habit all along said Chief Strauss to-
day ''for the friends of the jointists to
swear that beer and liquor was not sold
and those who we have for witnesses
claim they do not know what they got
and all that. We have worked up these
cases and we know just when or what
the person We have for witnesses, pur-
chased and they must stick to the truth
or I shall arrest and have them tried
for perjury. This thing of telling any
thing on the stand must stop and the
truth will have to be told if it takes a
sentence for perjury to bring it about -

YOUNG GIRL MISSING.
Twelve Year-old Miss Disappears
From Her Leavenworth Home.

Leavenworth, Nov. 2S.-ArabeIla Oldfeld,
a tall, well developed girl, L years of age,
located at the corner Of sixth and Arthur.
last Wednesday morning, and although
strenuous efforts have been made TO ascer-
tain her wherea bouts, the search has so
far been fruitIess.
The child Is unusually bright for her
age and is perfectly familiar. not only
with the immediate vicinity of her home,
but all of LeavenwOrth, and the fact pre-
cludes the possibility of her getting lost.
The circumstances of her absence are so
meager that nothing is known of the case
beyond conjecture, except that the child
has disappeared.

Stephens parish, 18th inst, the following
minute was ordered to be entered upon
the parish records:
In the death of our late warden, MIR.
John b. Coyle, we are deeply sensible OF
the affection which has befallen his
family to which he was entirely devoted,
the parish in which he WAS born and
bred, the many musical and benevolent
societies. including the Y. NJ. G. A., Of
which he was an active and efficient
member; the extensive shipping and
transportation companies he represented,
as we'll as the city of his birth, with
whose growth anu interests he WAS un
swsrvingly identified, as was his honored
father before him.
His attachment to ST. Stephen g was
hearty and limited only by his life, while
his fellowship with his fellow parishioners
was intimate, cordial and constant to the
end.
For his family in the depth of their sor-
row, we desire TO express our warmest
sympathy, and commend them to the
gracious care of our Heavenly Father.

to cause many of the Inhabitants who

iards back again. The first lessons we are
giving out new wards in American
civilization are not Of o kind that are
likely to lead them to think that they can
improve their own by copying from us,
but quite the reverse. Such conduct as il
reported. both from Manila and Ponce.
is disgrace to the American soldier. and
cannot help lowering the American people
much in the estimation of our new wards,
and that too, at time when impressions
are likely to be lasting. We should say
that pretty large share OF the RESPONSE
bility for this sort Of thing resteds upon
the officers, and that some court martial
