the passage of the measure, which was
read third time and passed unanimously,
in the form in which it was passed by the
House. The bill was engrossed at once and
sent back to the House. whence 1t will go
to the President for his signature. o..

A small audience saw 1.-THE Dawn of
Freedom at the Crawford theater
last night. The piece was written for
Paul Gilmore. the young actor who
proved that he had ability and ambition
in the character of "D'Artagnan' in
The Musketeers'' several weeks ago,
before the opening of the Spanish
American war and was put on by him
with much financial success in New
York city. Naturally, the original con-
struction was largely on the blood and
thunder order, and changing it to suit
historical events did not help it any.
If Mr. Gilmore were still playing the
leading role the piece would be much
more interesting than it is at present
with Mr.. John Nicholson in the part of
Antonio Lopez" because Mr.. Gilmore
has what Mr.. Nicholson has not The
latter gave Topeka audience a taste
of his histrionic capabilities in Ala
bama" not long ago, and he has not i'm
proved since his last visit
Considerable special scenery is used
in the production of 1.-THE Dawn of
Freedom" Several of the members of
the company We're seen here with Mr..
Gilmore in the THE Musketeers."

TROUBLES OF THE MAZES.
There Seems to Be Two Sides to This
Case

A large batch of affidavits has just
been filed in the district court in the di-
Vorce action brought by Mrs. Maggie
NJ. Maze against her husband, Auta F.
Maze. There are two sets of these affi-
davits, one filed by the plaintiff and the
other by the defendant, and the allega-
tions in them are directly opposed to
each other.
question as to whether Mr.. Maze shall
be compelled to pay his wife alimony or
not. Mrs. Maze is a sufferer from con-
sumption, and the reason she gives for
asking for the divorce is that her huS-
band abused her and drove her from
home, and also failed to properly pro-
vide for her. Mr.. Maze works in the
Santa Fe shops, and his wages were
enjoined by his wife, although Judge
Hazen signed the restraining order un-
der protest.
In support of her allegations Mrs.
Maze files an affidavit herself, and also
hired girl These affidavits allege that
Mr. Maze did not properly provide for
his wife in her sickness and that on ore
occasion he said he did not care wheth-
er she lived or died.
In opposition to these affidavfts Mr..
Maze files a lengthy one of his own, in
which he states that the whole trouble
has been caused by his wife's family.
He denies emphatically that he drove
his wife away from home, and says she
would never have left him if her father
had not told her falsehoods about him
to get her to leave. Divorces, accord
ing TO Mr.. Maze, run in his wife's fam
lily. There are three married daughters
in the family and all of them have sep
arated from their husbands. Futher-
more, Mr. Maze says, he has worked
overtime to provide comforts for his
wife and has left the spending of nearly
all of his wages to his wife He gives
a list of large grocery bills and numer-
Gus doctor bills which he says he owes
