The Mil1er.schaeffef Wedding.

Letters received from Seattle contain the following description of the wedding of Jack Miller and Miss Jennie Schaeffer:
 At 7:3O the brides party, con- sisting of two brides maids, maid of honor and bride, i'll one carriage, flower girls, Mrs. Schaeffer and guests in another drove from the Seneca Hotel to the church, and at 8 o'clock the bridal party started up the aisle, the brides maids carrying large bouquets of roses, followed by the ring bearer, who carried the ring in big Gala lily. Then came the two flower girls, scattering petals before the bride. They met the groom and party before the altar where the ceremony, which was very inn pre- ,sive, was performed.
 After the marriage the party went to Christensen,s hall where 2 banquet was served to 245 peo- pie. It was a very grand affair and everything went off without a hitch. The bride wore an elabor- ate costume of ivory crepe de chine, trimmed with real lace and studded with pearls.
 It seems very unlikely that Judge Hanford will decide against the legality of trying criminal cases in Alaska courts. If he does the resnlts will certainly be demor- alizing.

A. Grigsby has been announced ss T. candidate for the office of Hlerk of the school board for which an election is called to take place Saturday. Although there are -plecty of citizens who are we'll qualified to hold this office, it IS halci to find one who will accept, ,er who will be in town continually. MT, Grigsby is particularly suited for he position, as he will be in eown all the year, has an office where he can be found at any time, snd in addition to this is a member of he council. It has always been the contention of the school board that 1t should have representa- five on the council in order that the two bodies might work more in harmony and to the best Interests of the public schools. and this will be achieved by the election of MT. Grigsby.
 The investigating commission aas fixed the blame for the Dix disaster on a dead man. That was 10 be expected.

AUDITORIUM
ssThe Darling of the Gods

Beginning tomorrow night and con-
tinuing thru the week, the attraction
at the Auditorium will be "The DaIl-
ing Of the Gods,' the much Landed
drama Of old Japan from the pens Of
David Belasco and John Luther Long.
It would be difficult to imagine more
suspicious offering to grace the stage
Of the big theater during the first reg
ular week Of the new year.
The record of "The Darling Of the
Gods" distinguishes it from contempo-
rary efforts. It has been enjoyed by
more than 100000 persons in this
country to date, and when it is re-
fected that the majority Of the pre-
sensations have been, made in large
cities where the audiences are more
CT less discriminating and critical, such
statistics would appear to be a guaran-
tee of unusual merit & The Darling of
the Gods celebrated its one thousand
and one hundredth performance in. st.
Louis Christmas week.
AS the work Of David Belasco and
John Luther Long it would be strange
rather than otherwise if the piece were
not unusually strong. Mr.. Long is a
past master in the art Of fiction deal
ing with Japanese subjects, while as a
writer for the stage and a producer
there are few who question the pre-.
eminence Of Mr. Belasco. The mastery
Of language possessed by the one and
the supreme knowledge of stage tech.
nique which distinguishes all the efforts
of the other, are seen in the fullest
extent in The Darling of the Gods. 9

fession. His whole act is series of
never-ending surprises and perpetual
delights.
Since the opening of the Orpheum
theater over year ago, the name of
Valerie Bergere has been one to con-
jure by and the coming of her sister,
Leone, this week, will therefore have
great local interest. Rudolph Horsky,
former member of Herr Conreid' s Irv-
ing Place Theater company, and Miss
Rergere and company will present the
clever comedy, He, She and He, " dur
ing which it will be shown that Mr..
Hersky is a most capable actor and
playwright and Miss Bergere most
charming actress and vocalist
Fresh from Partisan triumphs, Mile
Mignonette Kokin, danceuse and chan
teuse, will give a most catchy illus
tration Of the French music hall artistic
and her methods of winning the enthu-
siastic appreciation of the boulevard
iers.

Second Half Walker White
lila -.

Walker Whiteside will be the attrac-
ton at the Metropolitan for three
nights and matinee beginning Thurs
day, Jan. IL. He will present two plays
in which he has won the favor ofElocal
theater-goers in the past. The opening
bill, Thursday evening, will be eve

peated Friday and Saturday nights.
At the Saturday matinee ssDavid Gar
rick s Love" will be presented.
HWe Are King" was written by
Lieutenant Gordon Kean, of the Eng
lish army, and is a cleverly constructed
comedy, very entertaining and full of
novel situations. There are ample op-
portunities for the versatile talent of
Mr.. Whiteside. He plays the dual role
of Gustavus Venner and King Hector
of Kahnberg, with changes made with
bewildering rapidity. AS Gustavus

Dwelling at the personal resemblance he
bears to King Hector. Some of the
kings dissatisfied subjects enter into a
conspiracy to depose the king tempo
| rarily and after abducting him, they
use the newspaper man as their ruler.
Thru developments that are only pos
sible in dramatic construction, it is
shown that the king pro tenn, is the
really king and eventually he finds that
his taking the throne has developed
from jest to earnest. "A very pretty
love. story runs thru the play, in which
the Princess Olivia, appearing at court
| under an assumed name, satisfies her
self that she is loved for herself alone.
Mr.. Whiteside has an excellent sup
| porting company this season, including
Miss Nettie Douglas, Miss Clarie; Vim
cent, Miss Jessie Church, Miss Carol
Pollard, John Palmer Collins, Lawrance
Evart, Frank Fl. Gardner, Edmund Car
roll, George H. Wender and I. s. Sin
claire. Both plays are mounted in a
superb and artistic manner.

Firs4 Half Murphy

Tim Murphy's engagement at the
Metropolitan for the half week COM
mencing this evening presents him in
splendid revival of Hoyt's master
piece, "a Texas Steer" the comedy
which a decade ago gained national
distinction thru the remarkably artisr
tic portrayal Of its leading character,
by this now famous comedian. So
much interest has been taken in Mr.
Murphy's former appearance Is
Maverick Brander that his revival, yno
coming somewhat late in the season,
is Of considerable Importance, especi-
ally so when it is considered that it
has, been many years since he appeared
in this play. ....-.
Almost every season Mr.. Murphy
visits Minneapolis, bringing each time
some particularly clever vehicle in the
form Of high-class comedy and pre-
senting it with careful consideration
of worth. His production of "a Texas
Steer has been made with the same
degree Of attention and in fact is
claimed to be by far superior to the
original, for while Mr.. Hoyt unques-
tionably omitted nothing in making his
productions, it is known that in ga
Texas Steer" he laid little stress upon
it's scenic attributes but was content
to allow its quaint lines, clever situa-
tions and original characters to stand
I for themselves without any particularly
elaborate mounting.
Mr.. Murphy, recognizing that stump.
tuousness of scenery, costumes, etc, has
come to be a necessity with every pro.
duction, he has given "a Texas Steer
more attention in these departments
than it ever before enjoyed, with the
result that this revival is not alone
stamped luxurious, but is one of the
most finished productions of the season

matte classic, while the production
doubtless will live for generations.
The cast which presents "The Darl-
ing Of the Gods'' is led by Percy Has
well and Robert T. Haines, both well
known and extremely popular with
playgoers of Minneapolis. Miss Has
well IS successful stock engagements
acquainted local students Of the drama
with her methods and capabilities.
Since she was last seen here she has
been adding to her brilliant reputation
and it is the opinion that the portrayal
Of the little princess Yo-San in HFhe
Darling Of the Gods is the browning
achievement Of her career.
Mr.. Haines will be remembered as
the leading support of Mrs. Fiske IN
the days Of the first Manhattan Theater
Stock company and of Viola Allen in

originated the part of Kara, the out
lawed prince and leader Of the Samurai,
which he still plays in "The Darling

always been one of the most attractive
features of the presentation /.
The cast which supports Miss Has

Belasco organization for acting
strength. : ~ II.
s.sThe Darling of the Gods" will be
played at the Auditorium at scale
Of prices never before attempted with
this play. These are made possible by
the great capacity of the house and
the, desire Of Mr.. Belasco that Min
neapolitans may become familiar with
his efforts. The Auditorium is posi-
lively the only theater in the country
where such prices will prevail and the
presentation at these prices is an ex-
pertinent whose success will mean the
visitation Of the other Belasco efforts

pin an entirely new dress with a strong
| company of fun-makers, and Messrs.
Broadhurst and Currie, managers, are
seeing to it that the piece maintains
its reputation as a "landslide of
laughs.' This being the third season
of the successful musical comedy, spe
cial attention was given it and in con-
sequence many new features were add
ed. In the way of scenery, it is better
| equipped than ever. The costumes are
entirely new, some of the gowns worn
by the ladies being of the latest mod

way of color display will be shown.

is a comedian who does not beg his
laughs by slap-stick methods, but
gives an artistic representation Of
this oft-abused tramp character, max
ing him funny at all times, but never
coarse. Besides the parodies he will
sing, his wonderful eccentric dancing
will be introduced. Miss May Florine
Linden, the leading lady, possesses an
exceptionally pleasing soprano voice,
and her gowns are really dreams.
Charles Udell, in addition to being the
company's stage manager, will again
be seen in his original part of "sTim-

performance. Miss Margaret Miles. a

TAILoR's INaRAT1TuDE.
Alleged to Have Stolen From Man
Who Befriended Him,

Louis Savage, a tailor at 6cS F street
northwest. asked the detectives last evening
to locate a tailor who had been working for
him for several days. and who. he declares,
took a lot of clothing from his home. Ac-
cording to the story told by Savage to the
police the tailor. whose name he does not
know. came into his shop several days ago
and stated that he was out Of work. After
talking to him for short time Mr.. Savage
gave him job in the shop.
1t was stated the new man said yesterday
afternoon that he felt Ill. and his employer
gave him the key to his home, with the
statement that he might go there and rest
up. Mr. Savage claims that when he went
to his home later in the evening he found
that the closet of his room had been broken
open and lot of clothing taken. The de-
tectives Immediately began search of the
pawn shops of the vicinity, and one of the
suits stolen was found at shop on D street
northwest.

MULLOWNY IS UPHELD
COURT OF APPEALS PASSES ON
sHoRT-WEIGHT LAW.

The ruling of Judge Mullowny in the Po-
lice Court that the language of the new
short-weight law. passed at the last session
of Congress, renders it imperative, has been
sustained by the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia. The law forbids the
sale of certain commodities for a weight or
measure less than the true weight or
measure.
The opinion of the appellate court, by Mr..
Justice McComas, overrules the contention
of the District that the law was violated, in
that the dealer had sold less weight than
the true weight because he had sold one
hundred and twenty-eight ounces of chick
ems and had delivered only ninety-six
ounces. The District claimed he had sold
twelve ounces to the pound, when he should
have sold sixteen ounces. The corpora alton
counsel also urged that as the enactment
was to prevent imposition on poor people
the court should be governed in its interpre-
tation of the law by the evident intent OF
Congress. rather than by the mere phraseol-
ogy of the act.
Mr.. Justice McComas, replying to the lat
ter contention. said it is not the province OF
the court to legislate for Congress, but to
construe and Apply the law as it is enacted
The case reached the appellate court on
appeal by the District from the ruling
of Judge Mullowny in the case of Horace L.
Cant. charged in the Police Court with a
violation OF the law in selling six pounds
of chicken for eight pounds.
The ver5iage of the act was changed in
the Senate. AS it passed the House of Rep
resentatives 1t provided punishment for the
sale of commodities for a weight or meas
ure greater than the true weight but in
the upper house the word greater was
stricken out and the word LESS substi-
tuted.

Asks Permit to Use Gas Lamps.

With the view of affording better lighting
facilities on Wisconsin avenue north of
Georgetown and Newark street and
Highland avenue and adjacent streets in
Cleveland Park northwest, w. c. Allen the
electrical engineer of the District, has asked
the Commissioners to permit him to substi-
tute gas lamps for the incandescent electric
lamps on these streets as far as the gas
mains extend.
1ncandescent electric lamps, Mr.. Allen
states. are now in use on Wisconsin avenue
They are placed on every other trolley pole
carrying overhead wires, making the dis
lance between the lights from 200 to $50
feet. In Cleveland Park. he stated, the
lamps are few and situated back from the
roadway about fifteen feet, with rows of
trees between the lights and the roadway,
causing the thoroughfares in this suburb
to be dimly lighted.

has approved the plan, and the necessary
authority to make the improvements will be
given to Mr.. Allen within few days.
