The young lady is Miss Bessie Ly-

to Mr.. Shreve, but it was desired that
she should complete her college
course before she took upon herself
the duties of wife. Accordingly
she was sent to Beloit college in Wis

would eXpel the idea of getting mar

knew that it was useless to try to

life to the kindness of a neighbor. He
was almost hopelessly affected with
diarrhoea; was attended by two ply

In "a Jolly American Tramp" +.
L. Kidder, the well-known playwright
who wrote ~ Poor Relation" and
Peaceful Valley for Sol Smith Rus
sell, solves the problem that has vex-
cd the rural communities for years.
In it Mr.. Kidder attempts TO show
that with kindness, just apprecia-
ton of man, even if in rags, and the
consequent respecting of his rights
will impeI even the most confirmed
hobo to think he is on earth for a
purpose. In this play the author
promises new and rather novel mo-
tive, that of a rascally husband in
surfing the life of his wife. then stupi-
flying her with drugs, hiding her in
an attic of a deserted (and supposed
to be haunted) house, substituting an
other body for hers and collecting the
insurance thereon. Through the me-
Eiium of an ordinary tramp the
wronged wife is liberated and re-
stored to rights that had been wrest-
ed from her. and the guilty punished.
There is said to be happy blending
of pathos and wit in "A Jolly Ameri-
can Tramp" The cast contains the
names of such well-known and ia
vorable players as Walter Gale, Hap
ply jack the tramp; Miss May Ward,
the dainty little soubrette star; Miss
Helen Davage, the well-known comic
Opera prima donna, late of the Cas-
tie Square company; Miss Margaret
Meredith, a clever character Irish
woman, and, in fact, every part is in
the hands of competent people. The
play will be strong in musical anil
vaudeville numbers. ~ Jolly Ameri-
can Tramp will make his initial bow

The day SET for the meeting was

drove to cordova and left his horse
in that place and took the train for

found that the train upon which Miss

After. reaching the city they repair
ed to the court house, expecting to
have everything move smoothly, but
the county clerk informed them, that
a witness was necessary before the Ii
cense could be issued. The friends
of the young people in the city were
scarce, but after some trouble Mr..
Shreve was able to locate one ae.
quaintance. With this friend they
returned to the court house and pro-
cured the necessary papers, and the
next thing was to find some one to
perform the ceremony. The friend
suggested that Justice Judd be call

He was glad to be able TO render as

tied. The bride and groom then drove

ruffied up its feathers and made dive

pass the enraged bird, but the at
tack was so fierce that the comedian
was compelled to retreat. The prin-
cipals on the stage got nervous at
the non-appearance of link, and
serious break in the performance
would have occurred had not two
of the stage hands gone to the rescue
and coaxed the parrot back into its
cage. Since then link each night
looks to see if the parrot is in its cage
before he starts to make up.
