and all of them with the bright
est complexion, and in the same
room other young women not
near so rosy cheeKed or healthy
looking. Yet the Beckham
girls have been in the mill long
er than those who are pale. In
this mill there is Miss Mary
Snipes, formerly of Chester
County. She has as much color
as would be found in a painted
picture; and by her side, in
striking contrast, is Miss Nettie
Nyme; and from the same
county as Miss Nettie Nyme is
Will Remington, who has
plenty of color. Miss Ada Nye,
at work in this mill, also has
color and brightness of com
pleXion, and if there were to be
a beauty show, it would be hard
to find better entry than Miss
Carrie Gale, who went into the
cotton mill at Lancaster from
her home, about eight miles be-
low Lancaster, and who has
ideal rosy cheeks, although she
has been working in the cotton
mill for a number of years.
Theodore Starnes, who has been
in the mill for two years, has
bright color, and right by him
is young fellow named Rob
inson, who is pale and sallow
and uses tobacco. And so, in
this way, could have gone all
through the mill and found one
person who had worked in the
mill for a number of years, who
had a bright, rosy complexion,
and by his or her side another,
who had been in the lill per

Defendants in the Woodmen Suit
Brought by BrinsIey Do Not Fear
the Outcome of the Case.
CLAIM CHARGE is NOT OUTLAWED
Should Brinsley Secure Judgment 1t Is
Probable That the Old Case Will Be
Revived Against Former Clerk.
(From Saturdays Daily. !

Criminal charges may again be
brought against Alfred e. Brinsley,
the former clerk of the Modern Wood
men, who Friday started a suit in the
Circuit court to collect damages from
H. c. Schulz and J. e. Newberry, if
the suit is contested in the court.
This was the opinion CLEANED from
an interview with Fl. c. Schulz, one of
the defendants in the civil action, this
morning. Mr.. Schulz states that he in
no way fears the outcome of the suit
and that to the best of his knowledge
the charges that were brought against
Brinsley in 1893 are still true, and that
although he has paid every cent of the
alleged shortage, it is possible that he
may again be arrested on a charge of
embezzlement.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Schulz
states that the case as stated in the
complaint of Brinsley is substantially
correct but that some important omis-
sions have been made. In regard to
the repayment of the money Mr..
Schulz states that the total shortage of
Brinsley amounted to nearly four
hundred dollars and the committee
was given power to act in the settle
ment of the case.
He states that the overtures for the
settlement of the case were made by
Brinsley and not by the committee.
He states that Brinsley atsfrst offered
$175 for settlement, but that this was
refused and then $500 was offered.
The committee insisted on the full set
t1ement and this was finally made.
Mr.. Schulz states that the case was
dismissed on account of the fact that
Brinsley had paid thercamp all the
money coming to it and that the mem
bers of the committee had'no desire to
further prosecute Brins1ey.
The examination of the case shows
that the defendants will make a hard
fight if the case ever gets into the Cir
cult Court and it is limited that some
sensational evidence has already been
discovered which will assist materially
the case of the defense.
The Woodmen of the city seem to
size with the defendants in the action
and it is probable that the Camp will
conduct the case in court.

PEGGY FROM PARIS.
New Comic Opera by George AIDE Is Prov
ing Great Drawing Card In Chicago.

New Comic Opera by George AIDE lis Prov
ing Great Drawing Card in Chicago.
One of the attractive novelties in
Peggy from Paris" the wonderfully
successful new musical comedy by
George AIDE and William Lorraine, now
running at the Studebaker theater,
Chicago, is a scene showing stage
hands dressing stage at the mythical
Paragon theater. It is an ingenious
conception and the scene never fails to
draw several rounds of applause. The
public, it seems. is always interested
in what goes on behind the drop cur.
tain and the idea of showing during
the action of musical comedy the
exact manner in which stage is set is
highly pleasing and who1esome1y di-
verting.
Peggy from Paris is so filled with
rich novelties that that the audiences
at the Studebaker never know what to
expect next. The piece is decidedly
removed from cut and dried meth
DDS and for this reason keeps in
terest aroused at all times. The inge-
NOUS management is making itself
felt in the unbounded enthusiasm
manifested at every performance. Mr..
AIDE has supplied a capital book foun-
dation and it is easy to work up to +he
many ingenious situations in w,lic1
the piece abounds.
peggy From Paris" is admirably
equipped with a strong cast and
charming chorus, which means much
for the success of the production. It
is we'll worth anyone's time and money
to journey to the Studebaker to hear
Josie Sadler sing her "Henry" song
and DEACON in the ell, Like You"
number. These are strong features of
the new piece and best of all are but
part of an exceedingly meritorious
entertainment.
The attendance at the Studebaker
since Peggy made her debut has been
little short of phenomenal and the
popular success of the piece has been
assured from the first It is one of the
greatest hits in the line of musical
comedy Chicago has had in years.

Alfred ]. BrinsIey Brings Suit Against
H. C. Schulz and J. s. NeWberry of
the Modern Woodmen Camp.
ALLEGES FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Brinsley Was Arrested in 1898 on q Charge
cuted-Now Sues for Damages.
(From Fridays Daily.

Quite a little stir was caused in
Woodmen circles in Kenosha this
morning when Alfred J. Brinsley,
through his attorney, Wallace Ingalls,,
of Racine, filed suit against Herman
G. Schulz and Jesse S. Newberry,
Doth we'll known business men, de-
handing damages to the extent of
$4,000 for alleged false imprisonment.
The suit is the outgrowth of troubles
in the Pike Woods Camp of the Mod
ern Woodmen and the real basis for
the trouble occurred in 1898, when Brins-
ley, the plaintiff in the present suit,
was arrested at the instigatio Of the
camp on charge of mbezzlement.
At that time Brinsley was the clerk of
Pike Woods Camp and it was alleged
that shortage in his accounts had
been discovered. H. G. Schulz and J..
S. Newberry were appointed on the
committee to look into the matter, and
acting for the camp, they examined
the books and alleged that a shortage
of $285 was found. Formal charges
were brought against Brinsley and it
was alleged that he had embezzled the
funds of the camp at divers times dur
ing his incumbency as clerk. Brinsley
was arrested at the time and remained
in jail for several days. He had a
preliminary hearing and was admitted
to bail and the bail being furnished he
was released from custody and this
was the last that the public heard of
the case.
1t is claimed that the shortage was
settled by Brinsley or his friends and
the order, by a close vote, decided to
drop the prosecution. Rrins1ey, if not
exonerated of all wrong doing, was
allowed to keep his place as mem her
of the order, but a new clerk was
appointed.
The matter was supposed to have
been dropped and this is the first thing
that has been heard of it since the
case was dismissed at the request of
the District Attorney in 1898.
It is claimed, however, that Brinsley
and his friends have been looking into
the matter for some time and they now
allege that the prosecution of the man
was malicious.
Brinsley placed the measure of his
damages for the inconvenience of
staying in Jail at $4,000, and this is
the amount demanded in the suit.
The suit caused quite a commotion
among the members of the Modern
Woodmen Camp in the city and promi
nent members of the Woodmen when
seen stated that if Brinsley had any
case it would be against the camp as a
body and not against the Individual
members. They state that Schulz and
Newberry when they caused the arrest
of Brinsley on charge of appropri-
atiug the funds of the camp TO his own
use we're acting under the instructions
of the camp and that they cannot be
held personally liable.
The papers in the case were filed
this afternoon and it is probable that
the case will find hearing in the
coming March term of the Circuit
court,

line of the Northwestern Railway upon
which the bridal couple started on a
honeymoon tour, and with a fife and

ROUSS' NATURAL SON SUES AS ROUSSEAU Boy Wants S1OO,OO0 from the
 Merchants Estate COMPETENT WITNESSES His Mother, Mrs. Rosseau, Asserts That Charles Broadway Rouss
 Promised to Give $1oo,o0o
 to Child.

From the New York Sun.
 An extraordinary suit against the es- tate of Charles Broadway Rouss, the blind merchant. who died on March 3, 1902, was on trial yesterday in the su- preme court before Justice Blanchard and jury. It is brought by J. Arthur Fischer, as guardian of an eleven-year- old boy, Charles Broadway Rosseau, whose mother, Eva Sue Figgett Rosseau, says that the boy is the illegitimate child of Rouss, and that he promised to settle s1oo 900 on him when he reached the age of ten. Rouss died few months before that time.
 Several suits are now pending in the courts against the Rouss estate, brought by women who alleged that Rouss prom ised to support them, but the Rosseau suit Is the only one involving a child. It Is the more remarkable from the fact that in order to establish ner case Mrs Rosseau has to prove the illegitimacy of her own child
 Mrs. Rosseau is a well-educated yir- ginian, and on the witness stand she told her story in a quiet and convincing manner She was dressed completely in black Her little son, in sailor suit, played around the court room with pail while the trial was progressing. He bears some resemblance to Rouss, and the evidence showed that the old man derived considerable satisfaction from this fact.
 Mrs. Rosseau testified that she first met Charles Broadway Rouss in iSof- She lives now at 943 St. Nicholas avenue. She knew him first as c. B. Rosseau, but subsequently learned hls identity. When she returned from Nicarauga in 1890, she met Rouss again, and he set up home for her at 42 East Tenth street, where, on June 5, 1892, the boy was born, she having assumed the name of Rosseau a few months before.
 pr. w. Travis Gibb. who was Rouss' s private physician, attended the mother. Rouss was at that time 56 years old, and when he saw the baby he expressed his delight at being the father of boy, say ing that he felt like spring lamb over it. He called him his little prince" and otherwise showed his affection. w. J. Townsend, counsel for the estate. objected to the testimony on the ground that the mother could not be allowed to testify to the child's Illegitimacy, but Justice Blanchard overruled all his op- l jections. i Mrs Rosseau then told how Rouss had supported her till he died. first at AZ East Tenth street, and later at 5l Wasn- ington Square south. He was then giv- l ing her s10 day and came almost night l lv to take her and the boy driving.

The Bijou.
 Manager Jake Wells Is to give his Bir- mingham patrons rare treat this week in a season of comic opera. As a manager of experience in keeping his finger on the public pulse MT. Wells believes that for the present the popular inclination leans in the direction of musical shows, and so he is following his musical com edy production, which made such a hit here last week, with three of the most notable and popular comic operas on the roster of successful plays of that charac- ter. Said Pasha," Fra Diavolo," and "Girone Girofa," will be given in the order named Zach opera will be well mounted and the costumes will be found to be as elaborate and picturesque as any seen here this season.
 The company is said to be an extraor- dinary collection of artists. backed by a good chorus. Among the principals are Zelda Rotali, the prima donna, Madeline Lowery, Sadie Dean, Annette Pilon, Ada Morrison, Jules Cluzetti, Thomas Y. and James A. Donnelly, James V. French, Harry Morton, Carroll Michael Wilbur Cox and large chorus of pretty girls.
 The production will be made under the
 
 music is in the hands of Carl von Negern.
 The company comes here with an estab- llshed reputation. The operas to be seen have been played in the Virginia thea tres of the Wells circuit and come with the enthusiastic approval of the press and public from those cities.
 To follow upon the heels of a big musi- cal comedy company with a comic opera organization is rather an innovation in managerial policy. It will give opportun- ities for comparison that vii at least be interesting, and If the papers of the Vir- gina metropolis are to be believed, will not by any means be disappointing.
 The three operas make their appeal through their delightfully."- bright and breezy music, and the wit and sparkle of the dialogue in each piece. It is doubt ful if three operas could have been chosen that have more airs that are called popu- lar because they are whistled and bar rel-organed everywhere and no one ever gets tired of hearing or playing or whist lins them
 The company is particularly strong and attractive as to it's chorus and has forty people who are all well known. They could not have been secured ] at any other time during the season. One of the factors that induced them to work

This promise was repeated in the presence of neghbor, Mrs. Lena Cohen.
 Before leaving the stand Mrs Rosseau Identified a book entitled, My Baby's Biography" which was put in evidence, and which contained the record of the plaintiffs birth:
 Welcome Little Stranger, Born. at AZ East Tenth street. New York city, on Sunday, June 5. 1892, at S;15 a. m, son unto MT. and Mrs. Carlos A. Rosseau.
 The entry is witnessed by w. TraVers Gibb, as physician; Martha Denison, nurse; Eva F. Rosseau, mother, and Carlos Rosseau, father. The last sigma ture Is in a shaky, nervous hand such as Rouss wrote. Mrs Rosseau identified his signature.
 The entries in the book disclosed the fact that the baby was first weighed on June G. and tipped the scale at pounds and ounces; had his hair cut on rep ruary I. 1894; that he received his first toys-a rubber toy ball and a celluloid baIl-from dear papa on August l, ls93.
