 Mrs. Reagan and her husband had had considerable trouble, and about six weeks ago she called at the Grand ave- nue police station and complained to Captain Brewer that her husband had been mistreating her. Both of her eyes were black then, and she bore other evidences of ill-treatment She did not want to have her husband arrested, however.

 The neighbors say that Mrs. Reagan | was a. model housewife, and the ap- pearance of the house yesterday after noon was such as to bear out the truth of that everything being in order and , the house scrupulously clean.

Delehanty Tied to WASHINGTON.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer
So Delehanty Will go to New York with
McGraw, will he? He will-like the Peoria
Dutchman kept hotel. In the first place
Delehanty has an up-and-up contract, play
or pay, with Washington for two wears.
Ihls contract was drawn up by Delehanty's
lawyer In this city. Del wanted to bind the
washington club hard and fast for two
years, and there's where he showed a good
business head. On the other hand, he is
honor bound to live up to that contract,
even as he could compel the club to live up
to It, But Delehanty is not built upon the
ground plans of the Sheckards and the other
doughfaces who can change their minds
almost as easily and quickly as they change
their collars. If he had mind to jump his
contract however, New York would doubt
less be the last club to which he would go,
1or 1t was McGraw who kept him out Of the
american League in the season of 1901.
Ihere were several clubs that wanted him,

wrong in the Brotherhood year they did not

by McGraw and Hugh Duffy Del would
have been with the American. and at the

PRESIDENT AT CHRISTENING.
Stands as Godfather for Child of the
Chanlers

A dispatch from Nahant, Mass, last
night says: President Roosevelt left New
port today at o'clock in sumptuous
train of four special cars. Accompanying
him to the depot were Mr.. and Mrs. Win
throp Chanler and Senator and Mrs. Lodge.
the two latter journeying with the party
to Nahant, the home of the Lodges, where
the President will spend the night.
A more quiet day could not have been
spent by the President. AS is his custom.
he rose early, and, after eating a light
breakfast, left the Chanler house about
o'clock and went out to meet Mrs. Roose-
welt, who had come up on the Sylph dur
ing the night.
The President was aboard the ship for
about two hours Mrs. Roosevelt accom-
panied him ashore and spent about half
an hour at the Chanler residence, taking
a look at the baby, but did not remain for
the christening. She left shortly before
the event for Oyster Bay. The President
remained at the Chanler villa, where the
ceremony of christening the baby was
performed by Rev. John Diamond of the
Episcopal Church, in the presence of the
President, who acted as godfather; Sen
ator and Mrs. Lodge, the latter acting as
godmother; Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and a
large number of the personal friends of
the family.
The affair was regarded one of the
most auspicous events of the season at
that fashionable resort due not only to
the social prominence Of the Chanlers.
but to the fact that the President of the
United States would act as godfather to
the child, for whom it was named.
Travelling on Sunday was something new
for the President, but in this instance he
was obliged to depart from his usual GUS
tom, as he went to Newport for no other
purpose than to attend the christening,
and it was necessary to make the short
journey to Nahant today in order to main
tain his schedule.
Lieut. Gov. Bates and Adjt. Gen. Dali
ton of Massachusetts, boarded the train at
Newport, and completed the arrangements
for the entertainment of the President and
party in Boston tomorrow night.
That the enthusiasm attending the Presi-
dents journey shows no abatement was
made evident today by the crowd gather,
about the depot at Newport, which cheer
ed his arrival and continued cheering un' IL
