A Great Play.

"The Bankers Child" is pro-
nounced by press, pulpit, and public
to be one of the best comedy dramas
ever written. 1t is now in it's fifth
year and has played practically to the
same territory all this time, having
visited many places five or six times
which proves beyond a doubt the
merit of attraction.
Manager Harry Shannon has new
scenery painted this season. More
comedy is added, while the story re-
mains the same. Little Plossie Perry
as Stella, "The Bankers Child" is
pronounced by all to be the cleverest
child artist before the public. Clever
specialties will be introduced. 1t will

WAYDoWNS SOUTH
Mr.. Adams Writes Entertainingiy OF
His Trip Through The South
And Texas.

We had a most delightful trip into
the far sunny south. The good peo-
pie of Sank Centre gave us such a
pleasant expression of goodwill as our
train pulled out from the depot, that
we had sunshine all the way and
that the most cheering sunshine
pleasant membranes.
We travelled across the very garden
spots OF Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Indian Territory and north
and central Texas, yet nowhere did
we see any country we liked better
than the "toe" of Texas. Rich, black
soil, fine climate delightfully."- tempered
by the gulf breeze, altogether model
country if one wishes to escape the
cold Winners of the north.
At Corpus Christi, we saw banana
tree with large bunch of green fruit
growing on it, date tree loaded with
fruit, oranges grow there, and the
streets in places are, lined with OLE
anders in full bloom. 1t is semi
tropical country, very like southern
California.
Corpus Christi is said to be the
greatest resort for tourists, seeking a
delightful climate, to be found on the
gulf coast. A company of Chicago
and New York millionaires have just
recently bought large tract OF land
near Corpus, for the purpose of fixing
it up as a winter home made beautiful
with tropical aud semi-tropical
growths.
The bay at Corpus Christi is fine
for bathing, most beautiful beach,
and the salt water as warm as dish
water all the time. There is excellent
fishing there too. A very beautiful
fish is the sea trout. There were other
varieties I did not recognize at all,
but very fine eating. Oysters are
raised in great quantities in the bay.
Altogether, we were just carried
away with the country. San Antonio
is the most beautiful city 1 ever saw.
Fine plazas all through the business
district, beautiful with tropical plants
and trees, splendid parks, historic old
buildings-the Alamo and the mis-
sions built one hundred ninety-four
years ago. One feels like treading
softly in some of these old places.
Texas, particularly southern Texas,
has great future before it, and as
northern enterprise comes in the
place will be literally made to
blossom as the rose.
Kansas City is a more up-to-date

Decree Is of no Force In

Washington, Feb. 2o.-Before finally
adjourning last night the congress ON
uniform divorce laws for the several
states adopted the following resolution,
which seeks to make even more strln-
gent the laws pertaining to the 'migra-
tory" character of divorces
Each state should adopt a statute
embodyng the principle contained in
the Massachusetts act which is as fol-
lows.
III an inhabitant Of this common
wealth goes into another state or ooun-
try TO obtain divorce for cause which
occurred here while the parties resided
here or for a cause which would not
authorize a divorce by the laws OF this
commonwealth, a divorce go obtained
shall be OF no force or effect in this
commonwealth
In reporting this resolution Chairman
Smith OF the resolutions committee,
explained that It's purpose was to guard
against migratory divorce which would
still obtain, providing some state or
states declined to adopt the uniform
divorce code TO be prepared.
A resolution was also adopted pro-
viding that fraud or collision in OBJ
tanning or attempting TO obtain divorces
should be made statutory crimes By the
criminal CODE
The report OF the committee on reso-
lutions upon the subject OF marriage
licenses and marriages was covered by
a resolution which declared that while
the congress does not regard the con-
s!deration of the marriage law as with

earnest hope that some suitable effort
will be made by some other body to Sc

the matter 10 the consideration Of the
commissioners on uniformity of state

1t was further recommended that the
