Views Of San Francisco Detective.

Views of a San Francisco Detective.
Women as criminals are very smart, but
they cannot keep crime hidden so well as
man.
A woman is more desperate in love affairs
than in anything else. Men get desperate
about money matters.
If a woman of the criminal type loves a
man she will, as a rule, do almost anything
to win him.
1t is difficult to convict women of murder;
the jurors are men. and they sympathize.
Men don't want to have women hanged
but a Jury of women might go to the other
extreme.
Women don't like women as well as men
like men.
woman has no sympathy for another
woman who has gone wrong, but oft n
man has sympathy for a wrOngdOing fell
low and will help him ont.
If a man doesn't like man he wants to
have the other know it. 1t is just the re-
verse between two women.
A halfway decent woman will do any
thing to hide criminal who is her lover.
Get a woman in a tight place and she win
tell about a crime quicker than man
would
When a woman is led to believe that
man has given her UP she is apt to tell about
his crime.
Men kill themselves when they are broke;
women don't. The women can stand it bet
ter and are more used to it.
Most of the suicides of women are on ac-
count of desertion.
When a man is deserted he gets another
girl and begins life over.

One Of the distinct features of the

Wednesday and Wednesday matinee of this
week, will be the beautiful dances, ballets
and groupings. arranged by Carl Marwig,
whose work as ballet master is known to
society leaders all over this country wher
ever the kirmess and german are danced.
Mr.. Marwig is Hollander by birth and is
the man who invented or composed the
dance of nations, known as the kirmess,
which has added so much to the charities
of every large city in this country and
which, during the past ten years, has fur

the villas of the AstOrs Goelets. etc. at
Newport Mr.. Marwig received his expert
ence and education in dancing at st. Peters
burg. One of his dances, known as the
'Algemla, composed by MN over twenty
years ago, has, ever since that time, been
given a public performance in Vienna. Some
fifteen or twenty years ago Mr.. Marwig left
Europe, and, in doing so, broke his con-
tract with the ST. Petersburg Court Thea
ter. The punishment for this violation Of
agreement is $4,000 fine, or five years i'm
prisonment. but as the offense is not an
eXtraditable one, the ST. Petersburg au-
thOrities sent representatives to this coun-
try to kidnap Marwig and bring him back
to Russia, but they were not successful.

she was so anxious to have Marwig return
to Europe that she volunteered, with the
assistance of two others, to pay his $4,000
fine If he would return to the scenes of his
former triumphs and take his place at the
head of the ballets but MarWig had be-
come thoroughly welded to the Western
world and could not be induced to return.
In fact he has never been across the At

The True and Interesting Meaning of
the Term life Insurance"

The True and Interesting Meaning Of
the Term Life Insurance."
There are probably more men connected
with life insurance than are identified per-
manently with any other interest in the
country At least one million men are IN
sured in this country, and as insurance with
most of them means for the whole term OF
their earthly existence, it will be seen that
the term permanent is used advisedly.
There are, of course, more than a million
farmers in the country, and more than that
are not in any sense enlisted for life; indeed,
the eternal spirit of unrest and desire TO
get into something better is ever within
their ranks, ana most OF them are hoping
for eventual change and Improvement Not
so with the life inSurant who has already
secured something invaluable and is in to
stay and whose best wish must always be
that he may never be compelled to give up
his policy. Fortunately, the broad and lib
been such that this latter contingency is
now rarely to be apprehended, while il ac-
tually forced by unavoidable circumstances
to surrender his insurance he can, generally,
loss than the actual forfeit Of membership.
OF course. he ceases to be insured, at least
to such an extent as originally arranged,
but paid-up Insurance or actual cash re-
turned is in some sense a compensation.
Mainly, however, the insured are in to
stay The very phrase life insurance
means not only that they carry insurance
upon their lives, but that they are also in
sured for life. Hence the accuracy of the
assertion made at the beginning of this ar
tics that men go into life insurance perma-
nently. If a man is identified with anything
clear up to the day of his death. that comes
pretty near TO the idea of permanencei Even
for those who select the endowment side of
insurance terms of from ten to forty years
are fair approximations to permanence, let
alone the chance of its becoming actually so
by their deaths occurring liz the interim.

form and especially noble is the thought

"a Cheerful Idiot is the peculiar title Of
the farce-comedy which will be at the Park
the first half of this week. The marriage
of a lot of people by tramp disguised as
a minister furnishes the basis for the story
which is made up of funny mistakes and
complications. OF course the specialties
furnish much of the entertainment during
the three acts and these are contributed py
a number of clever vaudeville people, among
whom are the Blondells, Armstrong and
Porter, Emery end Nordne, Waller and
Waller, Alma Howard, Lourette, Sadie Kir-
by, Nestal and Day, Willamette and his
trained dogs, Eric Taylor and others. The
three acts are said to he well sprinkied
with these specialties. Tuesday night an adj
ditional attraction will be offered in the
shape of a special wire into the theater
which will bring the details Of the Mccoy
Sharkey fight at New York. These will be
read to the audience as the fight is taking
place and will be the next best thing to
actually witnessing the big battle.
The limit to stage realism is SAID to be
shown in John Martins Secret" the latest
of Sutton Vane's melodramas, coming to the
Park next Thursday for the rest of the
week. 1t received its first American Iroduc-
ton at the Star Theater, New York, last
month, and comes TO indianapolis with the
reputation of being one of the most con-
spicuous scenic productions on the road.
There are eleven scenes, all especially paint
ed for the production. The play deals With
life in the diamond mines of Africa. The
first act is laid in England and the last
three in Kimberly. The climax is reached
in the third act, when the heroine is rescued
at the edge of a precipice. Suspended across
the stage are wire cables that connect one
part of the mine with another, and small
cars. used in mines to carry people to the
different parts, are coming and going. One
Of these cars is crossing on the wire and IN
it is the rival of the woman on the cliff
Just as the car reaches the center of the
stage a landslide occurs and the woman in
the car realizes the danger of the other
and shouts for her to jump for her life. She
does So making a downward shoot of over
twenty feet and is caught by the girl in the
car, who carries her to safety. The comedy
element and the specialties are introduced to
tighten the more sOmber aspects Of the play.
The company includes Sheridan Block we'll
remembered in Mr.. Barnes of New York"
p. Augustus Anderson, who played Uncle
Harris in Pawn Ticket No. 210;' Mae VIII
lams Emma Field and others.
