Philadelphia, October 26.-Tnfatuation for the stage is believed to have led Mrs. Bertha Davis, r years old, bride of less than a year, leave her home and sick husband on the plea that she was going to visit a girl friend In New York. This was week ago.
 After waiting patiently fer the young brides return, Mrs. Charles Roach, the proprietress of the Dunlop Apartments, 1737 Vine street where Mrs. Davis had been stopping, wrote a letter 10 the detective bureau, alleging that the missing young woman had stolen a silk dress valued at SAP, two silk skirts, a lace jacket, diamond ring and S5 in cash belonging to her.
 In the meantime George Davis, the runaway brides husband, lay seriously illwth typhoid fever. at the home of his parents, in Still Pond, Md. Until last Saturday, when he received letter from Mrs. Mary Mccormick his mcther-in-law, he was not aware that his wife had disappeared.
 Mrs. Mccormick said yesterday that her daughter was fond O. the stage. On several occasions she has played at local theatcrs. The mother thinks her daughter is in Philadelphia. It was in timated at the city hall yesterday that the infa tuatCd young woman had been seen lettering about the stage entrance Cf the Walnut street thcater a few days ago.

DOES NOT LIKE
 THE APEX LAW
Blames It With Everything Mean
 From Tombstone to Butte.

New Yc-k October Z6.-Apropos of the results obtained by the recent min ing congress at Butte, Dan Mcguire, writing in the Salt Lake Mining Re view, says:
 "A vote was t-hcn on t!-e Koarns bill now in congress to repeal the apex law, the ma ajority vote being against the bill It is indeed hard to under stand why, in q gathering of the kind. the old apex law, as it now stands, should find supporters. and that it's r1- tentiCn should be the pole star Of every poor miner and prospeCtor in our inter- mountain country, when thirty years trial has proved it to be the endless source of dispute and litigation, teem- ing, as it d oes, with every phase of rascality, duplicity, treachery and crime, from Tombstone to Butte.
 'It has been the cause of innumer- able law suits, the ruin of fortunes, and the downfall and death of some of the brightest members of the mining fraternity. It. is obsolete, a relic of barbarism, and should he repealed for the good of the mining industry and for the benefit of posterity."

WHITE HOUSE RELICS
 HAVE DISAPPEARED
Investigation Will Be Made to Trace
 Them.

Washington, October C6.-The presi- dent yesterday inspected for the first time the new office building erected near the White House for his occu- pancy, and the repairs to the executive mansion. He was greatly disappointed at the slow progress made, and ex- pressed doubt whether the White House would be ready in time for the formal winter receptions. The Cifice building is nearly completed. Consid- ering its cost, $6O,O0O, it is remarkably plain and unpretentiOus.
 The White House is still torn to pieces, and notwithstanding statements by architects and contractors to the contrary, only one room is in such shape that furniture can be placed in it.
 The president did net attempt to con- ceaI his impati and criticised the slow work with some warmth. It is declared that a number of val uable relics from the White House have disappeared. and an investigation O; some sort will probably be made to trace them.
