AT THE THEATER

The sale of seats for Rose Coghlan's
presentation of The Second Mrs. Tan
queray" Monday matinee and night will
open this morning at 9 o'clock. The
prices are $50, S1O0 and 70. so and %
cents. and for the matinee 10, so and
25 cents.
The play is the third of Pineros that
will have been seen here within a week.
Miss Coghlan. in the part of Paula
Tanqueray. has added another charac-
ter to her gallery of stage heroines.
The characters i'm a Pineros play like
Iris" The Notorious Mrs. Ebb-
smith" and The Gay Lord Quex," de-
mand actors and actresses who are
conVersant with, and used to, the vari-
Gus types of aristocratic society, and
able to depict them as if to the manor
born. Such company Miss Coghlan,
II is said, has been surrounded with
by Jules hurry, and whatever may be
the opinion of the audience in regard
to the morality of Paula Tanqueray as
portrayed by Miss Coghlan, the repre-
sentation of the various characters
Plnero drew is said to be true TO the
authors ideals, as the production has
been staged and directed by one of his
rusty stage managers familiar with
the intention of the author and the
methods of Duse; Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell, Mrs. Kendall and Olga Nethersole.
These artists and Miss Coghlan are the
only ones who have been permitted by
the author to assume this intricate
role in this country. Temperament.
appearance, ability to display the vari-
Gus phases of Paulas ever-changing
character, have been the requirements
Whlch the author has insisted upon.
Many actresses have felt called upon
TO assume this part. but few have been
chosen, as the above list proves

meaning artists. Mr.. Kyle has chosen
not to become everlastingly identified
with one great achievement. feeling
that the public desire to see a stage
favorite in a new play occasionally.
and with this worthy object in view,
he will offer his very latest. new and
original play Laughter and Lies"
written especially for him by Asa
Steele, a writer not altogether un-
known to fame, and who it seems has
been quite fortunate in shaping his
work in such a manner. as not only
gives Mr.. Kyle the best kind of OBJ
portunities for the display of his re-
markable versatility. but likewise en-
ployS the best talents of each and
every member of his company. which
Mr.. Kyle takes special pride in keep
ing intact. 1t is almost needless to say
that Laughter and Lies" has been
given the same amount of considera-
ton for detail. so far as concerns
scenic and costume environment as
that which signals the picturesque pro-
duction of its predecessor Nathan

The husband submits that he and MS
wife are living in state of separation,
as the result of his wife's improper con-
duct. AT the time that the separation
occurred. an agreement was entered
into by them, he says, wherein she
promised not to associate with the man
who had caused the enstrangement. he
agreeing not to speak to her for six
months or to talk to the children, with
out her permission. In this agreement
he obligated himself to contribute s25
a month for her support.
This contract is exhibited to the
court. As her part of the contract, the
wife promises IS follows: I'm consid-
Grafton of the above, 1 agree that I
will not have no COMMUNICATION with
---, nor speak to him nor any 9TH
err improper person" Except for this
portion of the agreement, it is gramat-
lcally worded, and covers a type-writ-
ten page.
Afraid of Her Husband.
Mrs. Kersh, in her application for d.
vorce, says that her husbands actions
have aroused suspicious as to his sani-
ty. On one occasion he caused her pri-
vate apartments to be searched by
police officer. Why this was done, or
what the result of the search was, she
does not say She prays the court to
restrain her husband from coming
around her, and asks that he be made
to give peace bond. He has, she says.
impuSned her morals, and treated her
at times violently.
Mrs. kersh recites in her petition
the contract submitted in the habeas
corpus proceedings. She says that her
husband has not performed his part of
the contract and, except for a single
payment, has not contributed to her
support though he. on one occasion,
bought pair of fifty cent rubbers for
his baby girl. She says that his lazi-
ness has caused him to lose several
good positions, and that, though he
has farm in South Carolina. he will
do nothing toward the maintenance of
her and her children, she having to
make her daily bread by running a
dairy.
Children In Court.
Judge McAlpin set the hearing of the
habeas corpus proceeding for
Monday, at which time he ordered
that the children be brought before
him. to be disposed of as the court di-
reefs. Judge Barrow will set the hear
ing of the interlocutory portion of the

Leopold Flees the Scene
in His Automobile.

BRUSSELS, April 9.-King Leopold
was badly frightened by Socialist
this afternoon on his arrival her,
from Biarritz.
The meeting between the Socialists
and the King was quite accidental,
and IL was very unpleasant for th,
ruler, whose automobile was sur.
rounded by excited Socialists, who
shouted; Long live the republic,
Long live universal suffrage" and
waved red flags In the Kings face.
The Socialists had called at the
railroad station to bid farewell to the
members OF a Spanish republican dep.
titles who had attended the Socialist
gatherings here, and who had par.
ticlpated in last nights demonstra.
tion.
The police this morning informed
the spaniards that they must leave
Brussels forthwith, and the delegates
were escorted TO the station by a large
gathering OF Socialists bearIDg red
flags.
The King happened TO arrive at the
same time and bad difficulty in get
ting his automobile out OF the crowd.
but he finally found an opening and
o~utdistanced his pursuers.

saying; why, Mr.. Kenner, you have

noted for peculiarities, yet a very re-
putable citizen. He was an enthusiast
tic advocate Of the strange belief that
there was a recurrence every six thous-
and years Of exactly the same events.

night he expounded and defened this

much to the their enjoyment After
retiring they consplred to put up a

theory 10 a practical test Next morn
ing, their saddled horses being at the
stile, ready for their owners the
spokesman Of the party said: Mai.
Vanbibber, we don't believe your
six thousand year doctrine, but you
say you do rellgiously. We now intend
TO put you to an honest test. As, ac-
cording 10 your loud professions, you
believe WI will all be here again In six
thousand years, we propose % give you
our joint note at ten per cent for our

This uexpected Kentucky bluff dis
concerted Vanbibber for a moment,
but recovering his wonted equinimity,
be replied: "No, gentlemen, l would
