Walker Whiteside Has Been Chosen
to Play the Title Role.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Ever since Mes
srs. Klaw and Erlanger announced that
they had secured Gen. Lew Wallace5s
permission to dramatic his famous novel,
Ben Hur,' and that they would present
the piece on the stage next season. every
body in and oilt of the theatrical business
has been wondering who would be the
actor selected to play the title role.
Walker Whiteside is the man.
A contract with MIR. Whiteside was
signed yesterday. This fact was learned
late tonight. and when Marc Klaw was
questioned he reluctantly admitted that
the information was correct. I'VE don't
care to make the announcement so soon,'
remarked the manager
Mr.. Whteside made his first appearance
here in 1893 at the Union Square theater,
as Hamlet. About two years ago he
again appeared in Shakespearean roles
at the Herald Square, theater. He is still

: atty of life and work by both parties to
the marriage agreement; and that the
union shall last last 80 long, and only so
long. as love shall bind our hearts,"
The marriage recalls the free union de-
scribed in the. sensational novel, 1.-The
Woman Who Did" by Grant Allen. which
a few years ago aroused such a storm of
protests.
In the fiction Herminia Barton, joined
by no tie save love to Alan Merrick, reaps
sorrow and a self-wrought death when
her own daughter joins in the taunts the
world hurls at her.
In the true story Lydia Kingsmill Com

her individuality, her work; she pledges
herself as wife only while love shall last
Then, with seeming inconsistence, the two
were united by a civil marriage cere-
mony.

THE JOINT STATEMENT.

Having been Joined together in the holy
state of matrimony according to the ideas
advanced, so-called, that we both enter
