of all the KIaw & Erlanger produc-
tions, Foxy CUTLER will receive a
most magnificent stage setting. One of
the scenes is laid in England early in
the century and the remaining two in
Corsica, so there are splendid opportu-
mites for the display Of much that Is
charmingly effective in the scene paint
ers art.
Mr.. deKoven's music is by far the
very best that he has yet contributed
to comic opera. 1t was written for a
great organization and the Klaw & Err
LANCER Opera Company was expressly
assembled to fill its requirements. Mr..
Sykes will, of course, be seen as "Foxv
CUTLER" a monument of laundering
conceit. detective who sails through
| the entire opera without arriving at
single correct conclusion. Mr.. sykes
has a glorious voice, he can and does
act. and is a capital dancer. OF the
opera 1t may be said in general way
| that IT is refreshingly clean and wnoie-
some throughout. It's great success en-
: phasizes the fact that the most satis-
| factory results arc always to be op-
tanned through legitimate methods.
The regular prices Of first class at
fractions will be the rule for the en-
gagement of the Klaw & Erianger
Opera Company.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Justice Strout Makes Ruling on Pat
ents for Toothpick Machines.


| An opinion and decree have just
been handed down by justice StrOut in
an equity suit brought by Charles r.
| Scammon against Oscar II. Hersey, eX-
| ecutor of the late Charles Forster of
| Strong, the former toothpick manufac-
turer. Mr.. Forster will be remem-
bered as resident of Augusta for a
time several years ago. He resided in
| the house now owned and occupied by
George n. Lawrence at the top of
Rhines' hill.
II seems that Seaman. who had
been i'm the employ of Forster at Strong,
made contract with Forster in 1894.
by which he agreed not to engage in
the toothpick business. not to reside in
the town of Strong and to do certain
other things to aid Forster in his bust
ness. and he also licensed Forster to
use certain patents relating to. the
manufacture of toothpicks and to Sc
cure the faithful performance of the
contract, he assigned these patents to
Forster. the latter agreeing to rea ssign
them at the termination Of the contract
While the contract was in force Scam
man invented and patented an i'm
provement on one Of the machines, an
improvement which could not be used
independently or with any other ma
chine. and this patent he assigned TO
Forster. After the contract was ter
minated Forster reassigned all the pat
erts except the one on the improve
ment and this suit was brought
against Oscar H. Hersey as executor of
Forster to compel him to reassign this
patent.
Judge Strout holds that it was the in
tention of the parties that the patent
in question should be held as security
for the performance of the contract
and orders and DEGREES that Mr.. Her
sey shall assign the patent to Scam
man. The device is an important fea-
| ture of the improved machinery used
by the Seaman Manufacturing COM
pany in their mill at MOrrilrs Corner.
Mr.. Seaman is an expert in the
| tOothpick business and it is mostly owing
to his many inventions and improve
mentS that the cost of manufacturing
| toothpickS has been reduced to a frac-
| ton Of what it was when he entered
the field. S. w. Bates of Portland ap-
peared for the complainant and Foster
| & Hersey for the defendant.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Rowe King Stock Co.

1t is remarka BILE how great New York
successes can be given the productions
on the road that the Rowe-k Stock
Co. which opens a five nights engage
ment at the Opera House next Tuesday
evening is giving this season, and at
popular prices, too.
Al the head of this company there is
young woman Miss Grace G.. Hamil-
ton, who has sprung into popular favor
the last two years, and is universally
accepted as a truly great actress. The
notable artistic development that has
taken place in Miss Hamilton has
raised her into the front rank of popu-
lar favorites.
The managers of the Rowe King
Stock Co. have secured through their
untiring energy. not only some of the
best plays that have made big hits in
New York within the last few years,
but also actors and actresses of ability
to play them.
These plays are produced with fine
scenery and elegant and costly sos
tunes, in fact the costumes and
scenery for some of these productions
were made in New York from the same
models that the original big produc-
tiCns were made from.
When you consider the great expense
this entails. it is truly remarkable how
these plays can be put on in the man.
ner they are for 10. 20 and 30 cents.
The seat sale will open tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
Much interest is being manifested in
the $50 parlor suit which is now on ex-
hibition at r. w. Soule's and which
will be given away to the person hold
ing the lucky number on Saturday eve
ming, Jan. IS. Every person buying a
ticket will receive a number.

New York at once, as my wife was

ceived a telegram stating that my
wife was dead. Being angry with
my wife and not caring whether she
was alive or dead, | tore up the tele-
grams and threw them into the waste
basket.
"Some months afterward I formed
the acquaintance Of a young woman,
and after a brief courtship married
her. In less than week my first wife,
who was not dead, heard of the second
marriage and had me arrested for big

The conductors of the Trigonometri-
cal survey in India have made singu-
lar discovery, They have reason to
believe that there is in the middle of
India an underground, or buried,
mountain range, a thousand miles in
length, which lies parallel with the
Himalayas. The conclusion is based
on the peculiarities of the local attrac-
tion of gravitation, the plumb-line be-
ing DETECTED southwark on the north
side Of the supposed underground
chain, and northward on the south side.
The inference is that a great elongated
mass Of rock of excessive density un-
derlies the two observing stations.

Ewing Hanson.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. II. a.
Ewing yesterday at 1890 O'Clock a. m,
Reverend Boeye, of Ft. Worth, Texas
brother-in-law of Mr.. Hanson, united
in marriage, Miss Ruth Ewing and Mr..
Perry o. Hanson, the beautiful and
solemn ring ceremony OF the Presby'
terian church being used.
After the ceremony which was wit
messed by the relatives and few in
vited guests, the bridal party partook
of wedding dinner at the Ewing
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson left on
the afternoon Santa Fe train for Min
ne2polis, Minnesota, where they eX'
pect TO live during the coming year.
The young people became acquaint-
cd while students at Kansas Univer-
sity, both being engaged in religious
work, and theirfriendship ripened into
a warmer regard. Mr.. Hanson is en-
gagged in Y. NJ. G. A. work and is a
manly, cultured young gentleman.
Miss Ewing is the second daughter of
Captain and Mrs. Ewing. She is
counted as one of Iola's most charm
ing young ladies and has been prom.
inent in church work all her life. The
young people expect to devote good
many years of their lives to religious
work.
The young people we're the recipi-
ents of many handsome and valuable
presents from relatives and friends.

sists that they have gas enough in the
lola field to supply Kansas City for
fifty years it that would double or
treble in population, and also to sup
ply some of the smaller cities on the
side, the while.
The visit of the men to TT. Scott
was probably not significant in con-
nection with any idea of coming here
though it may have cen. They stop
ped over a few hours, waiting for a
train to Joplin. They ask no bonus,
only franchise of the towns to which
they propose to run the gas. If they
have the amount they say they have it
is only reasonable that they will sup.
ply the intervening towns on the line,
and if they propose TO do that the
natural thing for them TO do would be
to come a few miles out of bee line
to either point and do business. Fort
Scott may expect a proposition from
them in this event.

THE LINE TO Be BUILT.
Mineral Cities Electric Line Will Com
TO lola, Says the Promoter.

Nothing has been heard lately of the
Mineral Cities electric line that was
chartered some weeks ago TO build
from Joplin, Galena and Baxter
Z Springs, through Pittsburg to Fort
Scott and thence 10 lola. A Joplin
reporter has just hunted up Mr..
Moore, the promoter of the proposed
line, and ne publishes. the following
MS result of an interview with him:
"The promoters of the Mineral
Cities have been working quietly and
steadily the past two months and sub
stantial progress has been made. The
moving spirit of the enterprise, Cap
tain Moore, is unusually conservative
and when seen by a Globe reporter
yesterday could not be prevailed upon
to say anything further than that the
line would be built, a position from
which he has never receded since first
the franchise was given him by the
city council of Joplin.
Captain Moore, however, did ad.
nit that over fifty miles of right OF
way were now under deed and that
large orders for ties, poles and other
material had been placed. Yesterday
Captain Moore was in Chitwood and
purchased the principal chat piles in
that camp for ballast.
''It is rumored that he also bought
three large chat piles in Empire las,
week. When the Globe asked if those
reported purchases were correct, Cap
tain Moore replied in the affirmative
He brought the interview to a close
by saying: The Mineral Cities rail
road will be built on schedule time. -

NO RETAILERS NEED APPLY.
One of the Court Regulations Of Eng
land That Is Very often
CIrcumvented.

According to regulations in the lord
chamberlain's Office. no person who is
in retail trade can be admitted to court
or be presented to the sovereign. In
these days the question who is in retail
and who in wholesale trade is a very
difficult one, especially when il is the
fashion for high-born ladies to set up
shop in the neighborhood of Bond
street, says the New York Herald.
A lady who deals in what are called
"creations," when interviewed on this
subject, said:
at is, after all, very simple. You
have only to call yourself by some
name such as 'Coralie' or 'Henriette. ;
to prevent your own name appearing
in connection with your business, and
you are admitted to court if invited"
The countess of Warwick was with
out doubt in the retail business when
she sold a needleworli shop in Bond
street to Hon. Mrs, Forester. Lord
Inchiquin's daughter, now Lady Her
vey Bathurst, worked up a splendid
hat business gefore her marriage.
"Forget-Me-Not' over the door of a
millinery shop in Bond street was until
recently the trade name of one of the
members of Lord Abingdon's family.

CAUSE OF MILITARY CRIMES.
There Are Many Sources of Way.
wRrdneSs Open to weak Men
who Enter the Army.

Hardship and privations do not i'm
prove the temper, and insubordina-
tion easily supervenes, while the
temptation of drink, IL it is to be
had, is too often irresistible to weak
but well-meaning men long deprived
of such dissipation. Another fruit
full source of transgression which, il
we are to trust vague reports, be-
come at times epidemic, was the al
most natural surrender to physical
exhaustion, says Maj. Arthur Grif-
fiths in the Fortnightly Review. To
sleep on sentry is one of the most
serious of military crimes; it is in
eXcusable from the military point OF
view, for the safety of thousands
may hang upon the vigilance of one
man, yet the strain of some weari-
some, long -protracted march or fa-
tiguing operations will sometimes ex-
plain what cannot be defended Nor
can we shut our eyes to possible
guilt of more contemplate, if not
more fragrant, crime. AIisbehavior
before the enemy, cowardice, in plain
English, is not absolutely unknown
in our or any other army; it is
wiser, perhaps, to draw a veil over
its exhibition and the punishment
that must follow, yet we cannot shut
our eyes to the certainty Of its oc.
casional occurrence.
