The Fatal Wedding

aThe Fatal Weyielins
title from the fourth and last act of
the play, which shows the interior of
Grace Church. illuminated at night,
while wedding ceremony is pro-
gress. The adventures is shot to
death by her paramour at the steps
of the altar in Gods house, as she is
about to utter the sacred words that
would have wrecked the life of the
man she was about to marry. A
more telling or dramatic climax has
never been imagined. The denoue-
ment serves to reunite a separated
husband and wife who have become
estranged through the evil influences
of wanton woman, and the audience
goes home happy because of the fact
that the two lovers at last emerge
from darkness and despair mo the
assured bliss of the future Particu-
larly charming is the character of
"The Little Mother splendidly por-
trayed by Gussie Shires.
1t is pathetic picture she presents
in the squalor of her attic home sup
porting and protecting her invalid
mother and brother by caring for the
other children in the alley.

In the batting of an eye, dynamite,
when brought in contact with an
element capable of loosing its energy,
will jerk a crimp in the future, sand
bag the hereafter and twist the tail of
eternity. So, in the commercial world,
will judicious advertising, the magic
touchstone, when applied to business,
quicken the pulse of trade, hogtie
non-progressive competition and fetch
prosperity on a ragtime gallop.

McGRAW ASKS INJUNCTION.
New Phase Of Big Base Ball Fight
Against National League.

BOSTON, June "A bill in equity against
President Harry c. Pulliam and the various
umpires of the National League of base
ball teams was filed in the superior court
here today by John J. McGraw, playing
manager of the New York team of the Ma
1onal League. in which the latter seeks to
have the defendants enjoined from impos-
ing a fine on him for alleged misconduct
and preventing him from acting as man.
ager Of his team on the field. Justice Shell
don issued an order of notice returnable on
Monday and hearing will be held.
In addition to President Pulliam the pc
tition is directed against Umpires Henry
ODay, Robert Emslie and others. The pc
tition for the injunction is a result of the
action of President Pulliam in imposing a
fine of $1JO on McGraw as well as suspen-
York team on the field.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the board of directors at their meeting
here last night, when the directors exon
Grated McGraw of charges brought against
him by President Dreyfuss of the Pitts
burg club. President Brush of the New
York club endeavored to have the punish
ment of McGraw removed, but President
Pulliam ruled that the board had no right
to review his action In the matter. The
bill filed by Manager McGraw today urges
that the whole action of President Pulliam
in fining and SuSpending him be made null
and void, on the ground that the petitioner
will lose his $50 in cash, representing the
fine levied, and that. in addition he will
suffer irreparable loss to his reputation as
a professional base ball player.
The court decided to hear the parties to
the proceedings next Monday.

MR.. PEARRE ON BoNAPARrE.

Representative Pearre of Maryland was

still looks little peaked as result of his

in western Maryland, he is picking up
right smart
II was very much pleased at the appoint
ment of Mr.. Bonaparte.' said Mr. Pearre
to Star man today. 1T puts the repub-
lican party of Maryland upon as high a
plane as 1t has ever rested. Some people
say that Mr.. Bonaparte is a theorist. and
not politician. Well, 1 have heard the
same thing said about President Roosevelt.
We have lived to see President Roosevelt
refute such ideas, and prophesy that Mr..
Bonaparte will do the same.
II am confident that republicans of Mary
land will indorse the selection of Mr.. Bona
parte, and that the appointment will re-
ceive the commendation Of republicans all
over the country. He will make excel
lent official"

thorities this morning announced that
they have now secured positive evidence
that enemies of Rev. T. c. Edwards paid

many being granted.
