Subsequent Trouble.

Syracuse. n. Y, April 5.-The rela-
tives of William F. Griep are trying to

was mounted on camel, had been cap
tivated by Williams striking appear

decided to be married and when the
performance was over they went to the
house of Rev. +. l.. Luce. Congre-
gational minister who performed the
ceremony for the sum of fifty cents
which was all the money the bridegroom
had.
The children went TO their respective
homes, meeting only clandestinely until
some time I'm November, when Florence
went to Williams house and demanded
to see him, saying that he was her hus-
band. The girl was in short skirts and
her statement was not believed though
it was confirmed by investigation Then
the action was begun to annul the mar
riage on the ground that the boy was
under age. The child-wife opposes this
arrangement, and declares that she
wants to live with her husband. Her
father has been appointed her guar
dian in the matter, and will resist the
application.

Considering the number of times that

Mansfield should select this play for the
first night Of his present engagement.

the piece been an entirely new one, for
the house was as large as the size Of the

seats were taken. and there were people
standing everywhere except in the aisles

A HEART OUT OF ORDER.
IT Prevents Immigration, Rut Re-
suits In a Wedding.

New York, April 5.-Mrs. Amelia Ander-
son and John Bergquist were married in
the barge Office yesterday. Bergquist is
an officer in the Swedish army, and his
spouse was a widow owning enough
property in Chicago to make her comfort
able. Three months ago, two years after
the death of her husband, she went back
to her native village in Sweden. There
she met John Bergquist, who was her
playmate in childhood, and they fell in
love and plighted their troth.
Mrs. Anderson had not brought the GER
tificate of her first husbands death with
her, and the Swedish authorities forbade
the marriage.
Bergquist obtained three months leave
of absence, and he and Mrs. Anderson
took passage in the steerage of the ST
Louis which arrived here last Saturday
Bergquist was barred at the barge office
because he has heart trouble. Mrs. An
derson was landed, but she refused to
leave her fiance. Yesterday Bergquist
told Assistant Commissioner MacSwee-
ney he was willing to go back to Sweden
if only ne was allowed to marry the
widow first.

NntionaI-~an Irish Gentleman

4 gOOdiy Ctfeta of the friends and ad-
mirers Of Andrew Mack welcomed IAN
Irish Gentleman at the New National
last night. IL the guest was as well
satisfied with the efforts at entertain
ment as was the host. his visits in the
future Will be more frequent and the
welcome no less hearty.
An Irish Gentleman" is a new play to
Washington, and is from the pen of Ram
say Morris. Although infinitely superior
10 the old-time Irish drama, it is far from
being above technical criticism. Solilo-
QGies are too numerous and some Of the
speeches are a trifle too long. The plot
is not novel, but is handled in rather an
unusual manner. One unique idea is in
making the pretty little child actress
disclose to the hero the secret of his per-
secutor. The piece is fun of good ideas
and these so outweigh the old ones and
the presentation is so satisfactory. that
il would indeed be very pessimist who
would not applaud the production. Mr.
Mack OF today is as far superior to the
Mack Of yesterday as Booth was to his
imitators of the present generation. He
can sing as only a composer can sing his
own songs and acts as If he had been do
ing legitimate work for years. The pro-
the situations are so natural that one
can almost imagine himself in the region
of the Killarney with its lakes and rills.
An investure of new scenery, elaborate
and beautiful, adds materially to the pic
turesqueness.
The cOmapny supporting Mr.. Mack is
very superior, including that sterling
character actress, Mrs. Bates, well re-
membered for her Mrs Murphy in
"Chimmie Fadden." Adolph Jackson, a
not unusual villain; Miss Olive White, a
pretty woman and natural actress, new
to Washington; Mr.. George Deyo and
little Georgia dip. a refreshing change
from the usual line of infantile prodi-
gies. in that she can act intelligently
Those doing the smaller parts are quite
as good as those in more responsible po-
sitions, the cast being without a flaw of
sufficient moment to be detected by the
naked eye.

SUICIDE OF SANTA CLAUS

New York. April 5.-H Edward Mer-
rift, who was known as Merry Santa
Claus" by the children because of his
long white beard, committed suicide yes
terday by inhaling Illuminating gas in
his drug store at No. 1902 Myrtle Ave-
nue., Williamsburg.
Merritt was sixty years old and had a
furnished room at No. 1918 Bushwick
Avenue He told his landlady his wife
was an invalid and lived with a relative,
Alexander See, at Pleasant Valley Sta
ton, Westchester County.
Under a bottle on the desk in the drug
store was a letter that read:

have robbed me of everything, and I've
trusted them as il they were my sons.

bors that he meant them. His body was
