AT THE THEATER

Miss Marie Cahill, the star of NAN
cy Brown" who will be seen tonight,
does not believe in ardent stage kiss
ing. She has an individual view point
on footlight morality that is interest
ing, and bans enthusiastic oscillation.
The clever Coincidence contends that
responsibility is the first essential of
true stage success, and she does not
think that savage love making is nee
essary before an American audience.
There are only three men in the
world" says Miss Cahill, who have
the right to really kiss a woman: her
husband. her father. and her brother.
think the stage wooing of some actors
is entirely too ardent, and as kissing
is one of the most sacred forms of sa-
lutation, it is bad TASTE from my view
point at least, to degrade by override
ing it.
II do not think we Americans are a
demonstrative race. 1t is. more nat
ural for us to feel our affection than
to express it in an exaggerated way.
BY the same token 1 believe this strong
habit of depressing our feelings is one
of the grandest traits of the people of
this country"

greater than al any other time IN
the history Of the country, the az
gregate being sass 79.o4s.
Notwithstanding the loss in vol
ume, through the Cuban republic
this total is $tI,69o,4SI greater

the estimates OF the treasury ex-
perts OF a population of Sa,o9S,-

equally distributed, would give
each man, woman and child in the
United States $3t.i6. The per

ly at a faster rate Than the popula-
ton has increased. On Septem-
Der 1, 1908 it was $4,000; on the

the situation regarding est-
for the next fiscal year. so as
10 make their reports to the coming
Congress. Postmaster Payne thinks
the cost of the rural free delivery
for 1905 will be about $40, 600. 900
and if the plan is extended as the
department now desires, Congress
Will have to appropriate So, 1000, 900

Secretary Morton has returned from
his cruise along the New England
coast, delighted with all he saw.
He viii soon begin to work on his
annual report. II is expected in
view of the sentiments he expressed
at an after.dinner speech in Chicago
not long ago, that he will ask Con-
gress to make a very large appro-
priaiion for the navy.
According to Chairman J. w.
Baboock, OF the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. who passed
through this CITY yesterday, he has
a ''neek and neck contest on hand.
He says it is a little loo early yet to
get down to details OF the campaign
but that the conditions are closer
this year than Al any time since
1898. In some districts there is
trouble about the kind Of men to
nominate for Congress; in Others
the opposition will unite upon a can
didate for the House and not bother
about the Presidential campaign.
In Nebraska nearly all the Con-
gressional districts are close; in
Wisconsin the opposition is putting
OPP a hard fight. Mr.. Babeoek says
the principle issue he is waging {,
protection to the business Of shs
country. The chances are hat mol

Old Colored Woman Bursts Into
Courtroom Determined to
Prevent Marriage.
CEREMONY IS SUSPENDED
Trio Later Returns Before
Judge and the Affair Ends
In the Ideal style Of the
Story Book.

Everett March 3.--There was trouble
in the office Of Justice Clarke Tuesday
morning, all because Of an interrupted
marriage ceremony. The couple to be
welded, George w. Simpson. an Ev-
erett mali carrier, and Minerva Nell
son, also OF Everett, both colored, we're
standing before the judge. while a
number Of curious onlookers were
watching the ceremony. He was just
ready to pronounce the final words
making them man and wife when the
door of the court room was suddenly
burst open.
"stop them thar COINS on" shouted
an old and diminutive colored woman.
as she entered with a speed that
brought her before Judge Clarke be-
fore he had time to learn what the dis
turbance was. what ar yu-uns doin'
with my chileT' she demanded fiercely
OF the Judge and spectators. She
turned to Simpson, who In half a Sec
end more would have been groom. but
who now was bracing himself against
chair. and shouted in his ear: dat
gal aln't old nuff to sit married. She's
mine an you can't have her. JUS come
with me, honey. Dat ar feller ain
gwine near yo."
The old lady, It seems, had seen heI
daughter leave home in the morning
with her best clothes on. She had then
telephoned 10 the postofiice and found
that Simpson had secured a half DAY
or, and had finally rushed to the courf
house to arrive at the dramatic IN
slant. After her hurried entrance sht
NJ once produced her marriage certiti'

not old enough to be married without

couldn't figure the papers that way, and

turned her attention to some uf the
spectators. he arranged to meet thf
couple again at ~ o'clock and make
the knot good one. The old lady ief'
with her daughter and things began Z
look gloomy for Cupid and his crew.
I,ut 1t all ended in story book style
Within two hours the three were back
again in the judges office. The OLD
lady was completely subdued. she
consented to the ceremony, and when
il was over gave the couple her bless

The little boy had been sent to
grocery store not far from the Houck
home last evening at o'clock. While
at the store John, jr., bought 5 cents
worth of candy. He was walking
quietly along Broadway between East
Terrace and Pine streets. when the
boy thugs stepped from a dark alley
directly in front of the boy. One of
them placed an airgun in the child's
face and told him to drop the candy.
Young Mr.. Houck did as he was order
ed. The boys picked up the candy and
then ordered their victim to make
quick steps to his home. There he
told his story.
The boy was sent back to the store
again and his father kept at safe
distance away in hopes that the young
criminals would attempt to repeat their
daring, but they did not show up again.

STARS MARK DIVIDING LINE.
Camp in Disputed Territory Located
BY officers Novel Method.

Seattle, March "a special to the
Post -IntelHgencer from Skagway says;
Captain w. p. Richardson, construct
ing officer in charge of the Halnes mil
itary post, returned from a trip to
Pleasant camp, on the Dalton trail, on
February II. Captain Richardson had
been ordered by the war department
to locate the latitude and longitude Of
Pleasant camp astronomically. He
made the trip with a party OF engineers
and Indians and found no difficulty in
the undertaking, as the weather was
pleasant and the trail good. The boun-
dairy line was located in rather novel
manner to which it was necessary to
resort under the circumstances.
The London award designated the
boundary in angles running to and
from various peaks and Pleasant camp
Is conceived to be on the boundary
line. AS there is no salient topogranh-
ical feature to mark the position of
Pleasant camp, and as the buildings
and other evidences OF habitation and
settlement might burn or become de-
stroyed before the boundary is per-
manently marked by the government
survey, the necessity of thus early es-
tablishing the position of Pleasant
camp was recognized by the Depart
ment. The astronomical data taken
win serve to prevent any dispute in the
event physical land marks are de-
stroyed.
Pleasant camp was the police sta
tion during the modus vivendi era
when the larger portion Of the Porcu-
pine district was occupied by the Can
adams. Previously the country was
under the jurisdiction Of the United
states. The seat Of government when
the Canadians took possession Of the
country was established at Wells. on
the ChiIkat river. The offices Of the
dominion customs officials the oroyin-
cial magistrate and the recording office
of the Chilkat mining division Of the
Atlin district of British Columbia We're
maintained there.
After the London award Captain
Rant, the magistrate and recorder, and
DR.. Fraser, of the mounted police, and
their assistants left the country and
now all the officers on the trail are
Constable McKlnnon, provincial con-
stable, who has charge of the local
mining records, and Constable McDon-
aid, Of the Northwest mounted police,
who has been detailed in the interest
Of the dominion customs. Both are at
Pleasant camp. Wells is entirely
abandoned.
