BONDS STILL HOLD HIM.
John H. Hummell Fails to Rid Him
 self of Wife and Two Children.

John H. Hummell, who yesterday morning hoped that the setting sun would see him a single man. rid of the burden of wife and two children, is still held in the bonds of matrimony and he will be forced to show cause why he should not support his family.
 Hummell was married to his wife, Louise, in 1S90 It was a contract mar riage and was executed in the State of Illinois. Shortly after Hummell moved with his wife to Denver, Colo, where two children were born to them. Hummell finally tired of his home and left it. but an agent of the Denver Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children learned of the case and caused his arrest He was threatened with imprisonment unless he welded his wife fin conformity with the laws of Colorado, and under pressure he consented Five days after the we'd ding he again left his home and was not again heard of by his family until he loomed up in this city and instituted suit to have his marriage annulled on the ground that he had been forced into 1t against his will.
 Mrs. Hummell was informed of the &C., tion her husband had taken, and when he appeared in Judge Richards court yes was confronted with his wife's answer, which denied all his allegations and set out the true story. Judge Hebbard read 1t carefully, and then without further ado dismissed the suit. Mrs Hummell will now. in all probability, bring pro ceedings to compel her husband to sup port herself and babies

SELLING WAR BONDS.
A Great Demand for the New Three
 Per Cent Issue.

While Spain is rustling here and there trying to raise little money among for elgn nations and its own people, the united States has only to ask and the wealth of the great nation is poured into the Treasury, and by its own citizens. rms was proved yesterday when the First National Bank opened It's doors, the an- nouncement having been made that it would receive subscriptions for the new per cent Government war loan. Cashier J.. K. Lynch had hardly taken his seat when the first subscriber placed his name Tn the subscription book for $100 bond. By noon Sl25,000 had been subscribed for and the cashier stated that he had prom lses for subscriptions that would run this amount up to over $250,000. The total is sue by the Government will be $500 900 ,000 and the denominations will be S25, $50, Sl00, $50O and 5000. The heaviest demand yes terday was for bonds of the larger de- nomination. It must not be understood that there were no small bonds sold, for there were many of even the lowest order. MT. Lynch says that no security is asked for it is well known that in the event of any one failing to make good his subscription there are plenty who will be only too glad to take up the same.
 There is every reason to believe that the demand for these bonds will be great CT than the amount of the issue. In such an event the Government will fill the or ders for the small denominations first These bonds are to be delivered in about thirty days.
 One of the first subscribers yesterday was a lady who said that she has pur- chased bonds of the Government of every issue since the big ''7-SO' issue of the late civil war.
 At the present time the bonds are sell ing at par. but as soon as the books close they are sure to sell at premium.

Garfield Captain Ed Wirtschulet has sold out his interest in the barkentine Ruth to Captain Johnson of the bark Sonoma. Captain Johnson will take command of the Ruth. The barkentine was on the berth for St. Michael and Kotzebue sound. but owing to the falling off in the rush there was no freight or passengers offering, so her hunks have been torn out and the Ruth iS now open to charter.

MINING LITIGANTS
 TIRED OF FIGHTING.
SIGNS OF A COMPROMISE IN THE
 HALE 6 NoRCROSS CASE.
A Plan to Let One Judgment Go and Retain the Amount of the
 Other and Interest.

There are several new movements on in the case of M. w. Fox against Alvinza Hayward and others and the Hale &, Nor cross Silver Mining Company that the majority of the public do not understand The case came up yesterday before the Supreme Court in bank upon a petition for rehearing of this matter, that has dragged along for so many years before the courts of this city and the higher tri- bunal. In the lower court Fox obtained the original Judgment for s210 600 for faulty milling and the costs thereon. Also for about S4S0,G00. which included the in- terest for fraudulent milling. The Su- preme court affirmed the first count, but reversed the second count. With the case standing in this manner it promised to drag along for years unnumbered. A short time ago Fox petitioned for a re- cation of the second count as the court might allow. The Supreme Court refused to make a modification, but granted a re- hearing, and it was on this that the case w. McEnerney and l.. D. McKisick began an argument for Fox, when they suddenly broke off and said they had been author ized to make an offer that might be the means of compromising the complicated and badly mixed case The offer was to remit the entire second count, and they asked that the opinion of the court be a modification of Judgment of the lower court; in other words, that the court or der the lower court to enter Judgment for $210 GOO plus the interest and cost. There upon Fox and his friends would abandon their right of action on the second count, reserving the benefit of the Judgment in the first count.
 w. s. Wood and John Garber, for the Hale & Norcross Company, raised vigor- ous objection to such modification on the ground that the Supreme Court had not the jurisdiction to enter such an or der because that court could not make a finding and the judgment must go with the findings. They also claimed s6OO0 costs, asserting that if the higher court made such a lump modification they could not secure their costs.
 The question of costs was argued for some time, and the court took the matter under advisement. From all appearances some of the contestants are getting very tired of this litigation and are willing to have it brought to an end If the peti- ton for a modification had been success fully made an appeal could have been taken to the higher court, thus keeping the case turning over and over as before. It was evidently believed that if the de- sired order was made from the Supreme Court that would settle it.

The management has scored a we'll merited success in the presentation of The Cotton King with more than usual elaborateness of stage setting and scenery. The play requires a strong cas- and careful stage setting. and both of these have been supplied by the man agement The result has been that the inter esting story of the triumph of honest love over the nachinatons of calculating villainy is told with unwonted force. and with thrill ing effect. The cotton mill in full operation was greeted with round of well merited ap- plause while the elevator scene in which the heroine is rescued from a fearsdl death was honored with a recall for Mir.

Otto Johnson, Aged
 Fl, Commits Suicide.
HE MET WITH REvERSES
INDUCED TO EMBARK IN A
 LOSING VENTURE.
After Leaving His Home He Sits on a Doorstep and Fires Bullet Into His
 Head.

Despondent over business reverses Otto Johnson, aged T years, last night com mitted suicide by shooting himself through the head. The deed was done on the steps of a house on Van Ness avenue, near Hilbert.
 Johnson lived at 1105 Vallejo street Shortly after o'clock last night he left his home, after telling his wife that he was going for walk. As she noticed the handle of his revolver protruding from his overcoat pocket she begged him not to leave her. Despite her entreaties he left the house and walked rapidly along Hilbert street to Van Ness avenue. After looking up and down the street, as If to see whether or not anybody was ap- preaching, he sat down on the steps of the house, and taking the revolver from his pocket, placed the muzzle to his head and fired. The bullet entered the right side of the head close to the ear, and emerged from the other side. A soldier named Welch was passing at the time, and seeing the old man fall to the side walk he went to his assistance Realfz- ing that he was fatally injured Welch at once repaired to the North End station. where he hurriedly informed the desk sergeant of the occurrence. Several off cers were despatched to the scene, and thinking that Johnson was still alive they placed nm III the pdlrOl wagon and veyed him to the Receiving Hospital. When he was placed on the operating table Assistant Police Surgeon Bunneil pronounced him dead. His body was then removed to the Morgue.
 Johnson some time ago formed a part nershlp with Edwin c. Barclay in the in- surance business. They established an office at 41112 California street, but through Barclays inattention to business. so it is claimed. Johnson lost considerable money in the venture. Several weeks ago Barclay met with an accident which pre- vented him from leaving his house. Find ing that his aged partner was in a Respondent mood. due to the money he had lost, he sent nln1 the following note with the accompanying bill of sale:

 Better acting, more appropriate make up, fuller appreciation of the details that go to make up role have never been seen on the T1voli stage than Father Bernard ana Little Pete presented last night
 !helr flrst duet was excellent. There's spirit and warmth and resonance in Edith Halls singing and she acted as though she really enjoyed what aSSuredly gave enjoyment to her audience. As to Stew ems, more delightful bit of humorous characterization than his Siciian grandee it would be hard to imagine And not a moment in all the time these two are on the stage do they forget the effect they intend to produce. Their Italian duet was the hit of the evening. The sextet in the third act was a good musical number, strikingly costumed. Edith Halls manly, saucy little face is peculiarly pretty when framed in parted-in-the middle white wig and set above the costume of a young Marquis. Louise Royce's voice, which was eclipsed by cold early in the even ing, regained it's strength for the beauti- full seXtet.
 The patriotic finale to Act III, which set the house applauding and cheering, is a good climax The opera ought to end here. But the composer had a few ad- ditional hair breadth 'scapes for his hero to pass through. so there's another act. The opera Is full of melody. This state ment, considering the ordinary run of comic operas. is not in the least tauto- logical and the Tivoli orchestra knows good music when it gets an opportunity to play it. MIRIAM MICHELSON.
