1t is the law in Illinois that girl
under IS years of age may not marry
without the consent of her parents or
guardian. 4 shrewd young Italian
lover the other day beat the law, when
he was denied a license to marry a
girl of II, by sending her parents back
TO Italy and having himself appointed
her guardian until she reached her
majority. OF course the guardian con-
scented to the proposed marriage.

The country is waiting to see what
will be- done in the case of Doblin,
who swore before the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs on one day that
he offered a bride to Representative
Lessler for eX-Representative Quigg,
and on the next day swore that there
was not a word of truth in the story
and that Mr. Quigg had nothing to do
with it. 1t is understood that the
committees report on the investiga-
ton will let out everybody but Dob
lin, and that there is doubt that Dob
lin will be punished for his perjury
Should the matter be permitted to
drop, 1t would mean that COMPRESSION
al Investigations are farcicaI, and that
committees cannot compel truthful
statements to be made by witnesses
before them. 1t would also cause the
country to incline to the opinion that
somebody with influence had hushed
up the matter and provided for the
application of the whitewash brush.

 H. A. Darcy, another Representative of Liebler & Co.,. who was in Montporarv yesterday, talked interestingly of M,. Tyler and Of his achievements in tbe theatrical world.
 Why does not MT. Tyler use his naue in the firm?" replied MT. D'Arcy ..I have no idea unless 1t be that he never thought of 1t. Liebler & Go. is a good trade mark and from my observation MT Tyler thinks of little but the perfection of his enterprises and their artistic suc- cess. We look upon him as our chief and executive head It is he who secures the stars and plays. He organizes and superintends all productions and engages all the important persons of the casts. In all of these matters he has no limit of price. The goods he wants he is will ling to pay for, and will outbid any other buyer in the market

Was Very, Very Grateful.

Convincing proof was furnished in Washington a day or two ago of tine fact that constituents are grateful, at least sometimes. A Congressman had been asked to use his influence in securing job for a voter in his district. He did so and failed to land his man. The lat ter on being notified of what had occurred wrote a letter in which he said: "I can not close without again acknowledging my thanks No language Is rich enough to express my gratitude. No sentiment. however sublime. Is lofty enough to re- veal the obligation I feel. Though I go down in defeat, Its gloom never can get SO dark that to me your friendship will

Lewis Morrison Wednesday.

Lewis Morrison, famous all over the country for the subtlest and finest expo- sition of Satan the modern stage can show, will himself appear at the Mont- gomery Theatre Wednesday matinee and night, as Mephisto in Faust" with cast and scenery which surpass those of all previous productions of this play, un- der the direction of Jules Murry.
 With Lewis Morrison himself as Me- phisto. a good production is guaranteed. With a new prologue employing seven- teen exquisitely painted scenes, an invis- ible choir and a display of electrical ef- fects. centering into one pure white ray resting on the gates of Heaven thronged by the Heavenly Host, and a dozen other novel and startling effects, the produc- ton is bound scenically and in point of acting to be the finest ever staged of this particular play.
 The cleverest scenic artists and electri- clans of New York, it is said. had carte blanche. No expense was spared and the brilliant display in the garden scene is surpassed only by the startling pyrotech- nical display on the Brocken which in lurid blaze and flame effects is strongly in contrast to the exquisite beauty of the final apotheosis of the hapless Mar guerite.
 The subtlety and bitterness. the tre- mendous Reclamation and the merciless gibing mockery of this insidious charac- ter as delineated by Lewis Morrison have placed him on a pinnacle above all imi- tators and established his claim to the fame he enjoys as the finest Mephisto in the world.

James o'Neill Friday.

'4The Manxman." at the Montgomery Theatre Friday night is an event worthy of note. ''The Eternal City" now run ming in New York city and the enormous success of '-The Christian" has stamped Hall Caine as great writer. There is a quality in his stories which no other of the present day has been able to im- itate. and which is eminently satisfactory for dramatic productions.
 As to the star, there are really but few weli-informed people in the United States wno do not know that there is no Amer ican born and bred actor now living who can boast record like that of James oNeill. What other living actor is there wno can point to the score of times in which he played Iago to Edwin Booths Othello. and Othello to his Iago. alter- hating them on successive nights: who has enjoyed the same distinguished hon. or at the hands of Barry Sullivan and nearly all the other great actors of the past who have toured America; who mas Tor two successive seasons played leading support to Charlotte Cushman.
