S
 POI IS
THEIR MAD MARRIAGE."

The author of the new American melodrama, "Her Mad Marriage" which will be played at Polls this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening, has gotten out of the beaten path of melodrama and written q play dn which the characters are different from the usual type used by authors of this class of plays. For instance, the leading heavy part is that of ah actor, "a character bhat has seldom been used on the stage. His abettof In his crimes is woman reporter, aud the character is a clean-cut one that will appeal to everyone that has ever seen one of those people i'll real life. }Ihe story, while showing the details tof crime in a large city, is not in any sense gloomy one as all of the dark CT portions are frightened by the intro duction of comedy of unique kind The heart interest in. the story will ap, peal to men as well as women, and while tears may be brought near to the eye, they are quickly chased away by brightsome comedy One of the unique characters is boy of the streets with the expressive name of f'Scrapple." This is a character that will strike a responsive chord in the (heart of everyone seeing the play. 1t will be assumed by Master Leroy D. Sumner, who made big hit in "1he Little Church Around the Corner" last season. Scenically, the production Is one of the most massive of the sea son, as every one of the scenes has been painted expressly for the produc tion. Many of the interesting spots tn New York city are shown, including the Flat Iron building, Broadway Cir cle and other places equally as well known. There are number of thrill ing climaxes and the whole play Is one that will satisfy. Prices are 25, S5 and 50 cents, while for the matinee tomorrow % cents will admit to ali parts of the house.

 the Principal Address.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 23.-The completion of the Galveston sea wall, the greatest structure of it's kind in the world, was celebrated yesterday by the populace and by excursionists from different parts of the state.

 The sea wall has been fully complet- ed. Two granite monuments that had been erected at the foot of Fremont street to commemorate the completion of the wall were unveiled yesterday afternoon. The Galveston sea wall represents one of the finest pieces of engineering work of any kind ever ac- complished in America. The wall is 17,593 feet long, is feet wide at the base, feet wide at the top and Stands IF feet at mean low tide, with a gran ite riprap apron extending 27 feet out on the gulf side. The contract price of the wall was 1,19S,118 The actual construction of the wall proper con- surned one year four months and sev- enteen days.
 The grade of the city is now to be raised to slope gradually from the top of the sea wall
 The last session of congress provided for an extension of the Galveston coun- ty sea wall to protect Fort Crockett for distance of 4,Oo0 feet to the west ward. This will extend the wall to Fifty-f1fth street, so that the city of Galveston on the gulf side will be pro- tected by sea wall the full extent of its corporate limits.
