Claims Husband Deceived Her.

Ina petition filed in the District OF
Columbia Supreme Court yesterday Mrs.
Gertie Kendrick asks that decree be
issued setting aside her marriage with
Josiah Kendrick. The ground upon which
the annnllmentisa asked is that at the time
of the marriage ceremony the defendant
made Misrepresentation to her regard
ing his position in life that amount to
fraud. Mrs. Kendrick states that after
short acquaintance with the defendant,
during which, she alleges, he told her
he had a nicely furnished home in
Washington and good position in the
District government, she accompanied
him to Alexandris, in January, 1902,
where they were married. She says he
gave his age on the license as 80 years,
although he was so years of age, and
gave her age as 81, when she was
only Is. Mrs. Kendrick states that
Immediately after their return to Wash
ington she became suspicious of her
husband and that he admitted that he
had no position and no furnished home,
and wanted her to go with him to a
questionable house on Missouri avenue.
Being appraised of these facts, Mrs. Ken.
bricks states that she left her husband
and has never since had any converse
ton or dealings with him.

Opera House.

"The Denver Express" as presented
at the Opera House last night, was well
rendered and greatly enjoyed by an
audience that crowded the playhouse.
The scenery carried by the company was
very pretty and the singing and dancing
was excellent. The jokes of the show
were decidedly antiquated. All the
roles were carefully presented and in
capable hands. The next attraction
ION next Monday night will be "Hump'
ty Dumpty," with G. II. Adams as the
clown. This show will be on the order
of Hanlon's "Superba'' and promises to
be a good one.

The Assault near Shooters Hill.

AS was stated IN the Gazette yester-
day a young woman was accosted by a
recro on the Shooters Hill road late
SUNDAY night and robbed of eight dol
lars after she had been struck in the face
by the brute. The cries of the young
woman were heard at the new union de-
pot and the special officer and others
went to her rescue. The assailant, how
ever vanished before their arrival. The
above is the sum total OF the incident
The assault and robbery occurred long
distance beyond the city limits, and the
fact that an Alexandra policeman was
not patrolng Shooters Hill at the time
needs no explanation, and had the en-
tire force subsequently repaired to the
scene their mission would have been as
fruitless as that of the depot policeman
and those who accompanied him, but an
attempt is being made to get up an Is
sue on the occurrence and the authorities
of this city are seemingly being held to
account. That it is not obligatory
upon the Alexandria police to pa
srol Shooters Hill road is apparent,
although should an ofense be committed
in this city the officers would unhesila-
,ingly pursue the offender beyond the
city limits. The new depot has been
placed beyond the corporate limits OF
Alexandra, some believe for obvious
reasons, and we are told that all the
tracks in the city save those on Union
street are to be removed 10 the near
future, probably to escape taxation;
Alexandria and Fairfax counties will
contest any attempt on the part OF Alex
andria TO extend her limits, and with
lhese facts apparent to all, when trouble
arises beyond the city proper the Alex
andria authorities it is supposed oy
people living in those counties should
90 to the rescue. The structures on
such occasions generally come from
Washington papers, and their Sugges-
tons are Justly regarded as graluitous'
Mayor Paff was not remiss in the incl
dent recorded above, and the authorities
of the city have no apologies or explana-
dions to offer.

Henry Street.

It seems that since the dscontinuance
of the running of trains between Alex
andria and Washington via Henry
street portion of the southern portion
of the track is being used for running
trains in and out of Duke street as far
north as Prince and often beyond that
street. Hence residents living between
Duke and Prince streets are subject To
as much, if not more annoyance than
heretofore. Besides all this the gate
keeper has been removed from the Prince
street intersection, and there is no one
TO warn people in vehicles of the ap-
proach Of cars. If this procedure IS to
continue the authorities should insist
upon the replacement Of the hsgman.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


LONDON June 10-Mrs Frank Mac
key, 1t is something more than whis-
pered in the smart set, is ambitious to
occupy the place in society here that has
long been filed by the other and much
older American woman whose name so
closely resembles her own-Alrs. ]. w.
Mackay. The widow of the Silver King
IS not going 70 step aside for the brilliant
Chicago woman without q struggle 1t IS
strongly limited that this is the main rea-
son why she intends giving some enter
tainments al her magnificent residence in
Carlton House terrace this season which
will recall her best efforts when she
yeigned undisputed over the American col
ony.
Mrs. Frank Mackey has for some time
reJoiced in the possession of a motor car.
which is acknowledged TO be the most
luxurious. gorgeous and costly vehicle of
its kind in London. 1t attracts more at
tention than any other conveyance at the
fashionable afternoon parades in Hyde
Park. But il is said it will soon be
eclipsed by a motor car which Mrs. J. w.
Mackay has ordered from France and
which will represent everything hat is
latest and best in automobiles regardless
Of expense. Special housing accommoda-
ton has been secured for ii in Sussex
place. Kensington and two chauffeurs,
es expert speed negouators, have been
engaged to run IL. They come from New
York. Mrs. Frank Mackey's two chauf-
feurs are Frenchmen.
Mrs. J. W. Mackey will not only score
over her younger rival by appearing in a
finer car. but also where Americans are
concerned, in the nationality of her chauf-
feurs. But Mrs. Frank Macl1ey may have
some cards to play in the interesting con-
test between them that nobody knows
anything about. She has rented Mrs
Adair's house on Curzon street. It makes
a first-class headquarters for an agrees
sivc social campaign.
She has any amount Of nerve and pluck
The severe accident that befen her in
the hunting field early in the season has
not lessened her devotion to the sport a
bit She has obtained a long lease of
Bcsuchamp Hall, near Melton Mowbray
il Lsicestershlre, and will hunt with the
Pytchley hounds next season. The fol-
lowers Of that pack belong TO the most
exclusive set in the midland counties
Pedigrees are supposed to count with
them far more than long purses. But
where Americans are concerned of
course, they 90 not insist on the former
Mrs. Frank Mackey has bought several
Irish hunters. which she prefers to Eng
lish stock, and is increasing the stabling
accommodation OF Beauchamp Hall She
expects TO provide mounts for several
American friends who will be her guests
there when the hunting season opens.
