"ALICE IN WONDERLAND"
Exceptionally Good Entertainment Is

No situation in the farce comedy
Alice in Wonderland tends more
flavor to the play than the one at the
dinner party in the second act where
Alice and the animals are eating to-

head first into the teapot to stir UP
the tea.
Another trick which will keep the
audience convulsed with laughter for
ten minutes is when the cook arrives
and shakes the pepperbox. Every
character who speaks for ten minutes
thereafter sneezes and then all sneeze
together.

DIVORCED TO WE'D MOTHER.
Harry Wright Legally Separated From
Dance Hall Girl.

SEATTLE, April 2O.-Harry Wright
who was granted a decree of divorce
by Superior Judge Gillian, will leave
for Portland tomorrow to marry the
woman whom he has held out to the
world for seventeen years as his wife
and who has borne him three children.
The decree of divorce legally separates
him from Cecil Lichtman, dance-nal
woman whom he married last March
while on a drunken debauch. Twenty
days after the marriage was performed
when his ready cash was gone the
woman left him. The divorce was
granted on the ground of desertion ex-
tending over year.
Wrights matrimonial experiences
have been novel. For fifteen years he
has lived in Port Townsend with
woman whom he introduced as his wife
and who everyone believed was legally
welded to him. This woman mas borne
MIN three children and they always
mate children of the couple. Wright,
until few months ago, ran a grocery
in Port Townsend, but for the last few
months has conducted a place On Pike
street.
In March of last year, he collected
a large number of bills owing MIN and
came to Seattle to "see the sights He
spent most CT his time in the Comlque
theater buying drinks for Cecil LIGHT
man, an employe of the place. He
finally asked ner to marry him and she
believing that he was a man of wealth,
agreed to do so. The couple, on March
4, went to the county auditors office
and obtained marriage license. Two
friends of the woman signed the appli-
cation for the certificate as wit
nesses.
Wright was under the influence of
LIQUOR at the time. Taking the license
he accompanied the woman upstairs
in search of judge. He inquired OF
one of the bailiffs for a judge who was
not busy. He was escorted into the
courtroom occupied by visiting Judge
Hatch of Port Townsend. Judge
Hatch had known Wright for years and
knew that he had a family and wife.
Instead of marrying Wright he gave
him a severe lecture, declaring that ne
should be in Jail. Wright was SO ter
rified by the courts words that he de-
cided to seek a minister of the gospel
to perform the ceremony.
He was married on the same day by
the Rev. Mr.. Spalying of the United
Presbyterian church. For twenty days
he lived with the woman that he had
married. BY that time she discovered
that Wright's stories of fortune were
only drunken fancies. She went to
work in the theater and refused to re-
turn to him. In a few days Wright
sobered up and returned to his family
in Port Townsend.
He told the woman with whom he
lived the story of his Seattle SOjourn,
including the marriage to the variety
hall woman. He then promised that as
soon as ne could he would get divorce
and make the woman that had lived
with him for seventeen years his wife
in the eyes of the law and legitimatiZe
his children.

HOPKINS MAY RESIGN
Does Not Want to Leave Spokane and
Move to the Sound.

Charles B. Hopkins, United States
marshal for western Washington, may
resign his office, according to a Spo-
kane report rather than move to Seat
tIe or Tacoma. He has only 10 months
70 serve, and is said to prefer resign
ing to removing to Spokane. The law
requires him to reside in his district
and when the bill creating the new
eastern Washington judicial district
passed, it made Mr.. Hopkins marshal
of the west side district.

FEAT OF WATER OWNER.
Test That Created Amusement Among
Scientists Who Wit
messed It.

1t may be a surprise to most people
to learn that the old-fashioned method
of finding water by means OF a fOrked
stick has not gone out of use before
the scientific experts, engineers and
analysts. A recent exhibition of this
was given in England by a MIR. Thomp-
son, who is farmer and breeder of
sheep on a large scale. With large
party of the experts who use more sci
entifiC methods for finding water he
entered a large field holding the forked
stick in his hands They walked up ana
down the grounds, but were soon led
to an adjoining field. where the twis
seemed to pull the operator about. After
a time he was so powerfully affected that
he was obliged to release the stick and
rest. When he again took it in Eis
hands it drew him TO a spot where he
said water would be found at depth
Of 80 feet and a full supply at 90 or 100
feet This was found to be a fact. to
the great amazement of the scientists.

A DISQUIETING INCIDENT.

a DISQUIETING INCIDENT.
Those police officials who are max
ing Browns fight against the wishes of
their chief are much disquieted over
the Advertisers publication of the fact
that policeman in uniform took
Browns nomination papers to the
Secretary's office for filing. And, in
fact, it was a disquieting thing-to
publish. OF course, no one can blame
the policeman.
But the whole thing was so interest
ingly characteristic of the old regime,
it marked SO distinct a recrudescence
of that spirit which holds public office
as a private graft. that it was bit
awkward to have it given away in that
unkind fashion. Policemen in uniform
are on duty, of course, and it is no
where laid down in the manual defin-
ing the duties of a policeman that he
shall be employed as the messenger of
politicians. He is not paid by the pub
lie to do that. But, as has been said,
nobody blames the policeman. He
must obey orders. The incident is
only serviceable as giving a foretaste
of what may be expected in the event
of the coming of contingencies that the
man who sent the policeman, and
whose name is known, is trying to
bring to pass.

HIGGINS ON EQUITABLE.
Thinks Legislative Investigation
Will Be Necessary

ALBANY, N Y, June 5.-Before leaving
for the west today Governor Higgins gave
final expression to his opinions on the
Equitable Life Assurance Society matter.
Il do not anticipate that a legislative in
vestigation of the societys affairs will be
necessary, he said. 1T is possible that
legislative action may seem desirable, but
no legislative committee could gather in
formation relating to the Equitable which
the superintendent of insurance is not able
to get. Conditions will be probed eto the
bottom, and in so far as lies within my
power any evils that exist will be cor
rected."
Governor Higgins discussed the Equitable
matter with Superintendent Hendricks here
yesterday. He expected the superintendent
would report on his investigation by June
10, by which time the governor hoped to
be back.
Asked whether his remarks regarding the
desirability of legislative action referred to
the entire insurance situation, Governor
Higgins said: Insurance within the state
of New York ought to be put beyond any
question far as the honesty and relia-
biity of the corporations authorized to do
business are concerned"
He repeated his opinion that the mutuali-
zation of the Equitable was a matter for
the court to settle and not the legislature,
adding: II am still in doubt as TO just
what it is best to do

MOST POWERFUL wARsHIPs.
Big Gun Batteries on the Michigan
and South Carolina.

The naval bureau of construction is per-
fecting plans for the battleships Michigan
and South Carolina which will make them
Many important innovations will be intro
duced. the most striking of which Is a COM
plete battery of 12-inch and 1c-inch guns
Such an arrangement of heavy guns has
never been tried in any vessel. There Is
no warshp afioat that carries more than
four guns of the caliber named.
In tonnage the ships will about equal the
splendid new British vessels Of the King
Edward VII and Africa class. Those YES
sells displace between 10000 and II 600 tons
and are about 425 feet long They carry
four 12-inch, four 9.2-inch, len 6-inch and
twenty eight smaller guns. AS The South
Carolina and The Michigan, If the J2-inch
and the 10-inch plan Is adhered to- will
carry ar least eight of the latter guns the
new warships would be q great deal more
powerful than the King Edward VII and
Africa type.
The adding of third screw TO the new
battleships, which will call for the addi-
tion OF another engine, is reported TO have
been definitely decided upon by the bureau
of construction. This system which was
introduced into the navy by Rear Admiral
Melville, although looked on with great
disfavor by foreign naval constructors, has
proved great success on the Columbia
and Minneapolis. One of It's advantages is
that in cruising great economy is attained
