she received the evening after she
was arrested when the curtain arose
and she appeared in the scene of hi
larity at Dochelette's. Every seat in
Wallack's theatre was completed, and
men crowded each other in the linn
tied standing room that was permit
ted. The sign No more money ia
KEN" was displayed in the box office
of the theatre before s O'Clock, and a
policeman who stood in the lobby
was busy telling applicants for tickets
to be at the box Office at 9 o'clock in
the morning if tickets were wanted
for the next night. "Sapho' is still

ANDREWS IN A STEW.
Former Rock Island Baseball
Player Don't Know Where
He Is At.
HE Is CLAIMED BY TWO CLUBS.

Minneapolis Sells Him to Buffalo, and
Later He Accepts the Management of
the Des Moines Tesm-TryIng to In
duce BeIden Hill to Take One of His
Positions.
Jay Andrews. the popular young
baseball PLAYER, who did such brilliant
twirling for Rock Island several years
ago, is in sad predicament and does
not know just exactly how he is going
to get out of it. Andrews played with
Minneapolis last year and put up a
phenomenal game at the third corner.
After the season closed. Minneapolis
sold him to Buffalo. That city did
not offer him the money he thought
he ought to have, and when Des
Moines offered to make him manager
of the team there. Jay signed with
Des Aoines. 1t was understood that
he was to sit on the bench, however
aud simply manage the team After
ward it was thought loophole had
been discovered whereby he would be
able to play.
Ultimatum From Buffalo.
Now the manager of the Buffalo
team has given Jay a certain mum Der
of DAYS in which to report there. say
ing that if he stays with Des Moines,
steps will be taken to revoke their
franchise because of breaking the
rules of the national agreement. Des
Moines will not let Andrews go unless
he can secure Belden Hill. of Cedar
Rapids. Mr.. Hill does not want to
leave his business, and as St. Joseph
already has q claim to his services for
this season. it is doubtful whether they
would permit him to play in Des
Moines. Andrews spent Sunday try
ing to persuade Hill to take the posi-
ton, and returned to Des Moines Mon
day feeling rather blue, but evidently
with the intention of remaining in
Des Moines regardless of the wishes
of Buffalo.

For the Big show.


Des Moines, March 13-Secretary Van
Houten, of the State Agricultural So

well in progress for the state fair the
coming fall. He is in correspondence
with managers of number of attrac-
lions. and has balloon ascensions, per-
forming dogs, educated ostrchs and
five-legged calves in contemplation in
such variety and of such rare merits as
apparently to leave little to be desired
in this great agricultural exposition.
While conceding that no attraction has
since been devised which quite equals
in bucolic attractiveness the famous
train wreck of four or five years ago,
yet the management Is hopeful of max
ing the fah. more generally satisfactory
this year than ever before. Especial
efforts are being made to secure the
finest live stock display ever, shown on
the grounds, and in this direction most
encouraging success is. being met. AL

Dubuque, March 13.-The will of
Archbishop John Hennessy was filed for
probate yesterday. The document
makes specific disposition OF the church
property held in the preiate's name, and
also of his personal fortune. which IS es-
timated to aggregate about s1,000,000
BY the terms of the will all the church
property is bequeathed to the archbish-
quests out of the personal estate are
made as follows
Fifty thousand dollars to the fund for
the erection of the theological seminary
here, insuring its completion; all build
ings of the Sisters OF the Visitation, up.
on which testator held incumbrances, to
be given to them free of debt; be-
queathes to his sister and brother the
house in which they live and an annu-
ity; makes requests of $1,000 TO $500
each to various societies and persons,
z the remainder of the personal estate,
more than one-half, being equally di-
vided among the Sisters of the Holy
Ghost, the University of Washington
and the Dubuque Seminary. The por-
ton given Washington University is for
the benefit of students from Dubuque.
The trustees for the church property
are Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia,
Archbishop Feehan of Chicago, Mgr,
Ryan and Father Johannes of Du-
buque.
The council of the archdiocese will
meet today to recommend three names
for archbishop. The bishops will meet
next week for the same purpose, and
may indorse those selected by the coun-
ell or make new list. The archbishops
of the country will meet later and make
the third recommendation to Rome
They may choose from the two lists
submitted or make an entirely new one.
Washington, March 13.-Much interest
is manifested in ecclesiastical circles
here over adviccs from Sioux City Ia.
which state that Archbishop keane.
former rector of the Catholic Universe
ty, will be chosen to succeed the late
Archbishop Hennessy of Dubuque.
Archbishop Keane declines to talk on
the subject, but it is known that he will
accept. The choice of names for the
succession rests entirely with the suff-
ragan bishops of Dubuque province-the
bishops of Omaha and Lincoln, Neb.;
Davenport. Iowa, and Cheyenne. Wyo-
and the rectors of churches in the dio-
cese. The archbishops have the privi-
lege of individually making recolnmen-
tlations to Rome 1t is known that
eight of the thirteen archbishops favor
Mgr. keane. If his name is placed on
the bishops list his appointment is
practically assured.

is involved in putting on satisfactory
night attractions, but it is believed
these alone will induce the people of
Des Moines to attend the fair. just
what will be given at night is not yet
determined, but it is possible that some
large spectacular production will be
booked for the season.
Secretary Van Houten is of the opin-
ion that the state ought to sell the coal
rights on the fair grounds. He is not
fearful that the coal will be stolen. but
he says the state ought to be able to get
$4,000 TO 100000 at moderate esti-
mate, for the right to dig out the coal
under the land; and the amount would
make possible the completion of such a
system of grounds as would make
lowa's the finest permanent exposition
or fair grounds in the country. a con-
siderable amount of the money, he be-
lieyes, could be we'll invested in perma-
nent buildings. The present structures
are not satisfactory and ought to be
improved very greatly.
