burst open and crowd of
friends appeared upon the scene.
Without a word they proceeded
to take from Mr.. Ives every
article of clothing to be found in
the room and then also stripped
the groom, leaving him in natures
habiliment with nothing to com
fort him from the April breezes
but the walls of the room and an
old rug that was forgotten by
the raiders.
They left him and locked his
door, following this with care
ful barricade on the outside o1
the entrance to prevent any at
tempt at escape. Throughout
the day mem bers of the crowc
stood guard and every solicita
tiOn of Mr.. Ives was in vain unit

These he dOnned and nervily
went to the house of his bride
after being allowed to emerg'
from the room, and as prompt,
hastened to the church wher'
the pair were married.
Mr.. Ives then borrowed al
overcoat and the couple yester
day spent most of. the morning

Bakers Theatre

Saturday evening, September 8th
marks the close of the third successful
season at Bakers theatre and
the management is to be congratulated
on the quality of entertainment pro-
vided. The plays have been high
High royalty plays are usually avoid
ed hy summer stock companies but
this has not been the case at Bakers.
No expense has been spared to give the
public the best plays from the pens OF
such authors as David Belasco, H. g.
DeMille, Sidney Grundy, etc. The plan
OF alternating the best comedies and
dramas has proven highly successful
and will be adhered to In the future.
Proprietor Blaker will make many
provements during the winter that
will add to the comfort OF the patrons
such as smoking and retiring rooms,
etc., and new cooling plant will be
installed. The roof will be raised and
a new balcony added which will give
Bakers the greatest seating capacity
on the beach.
Manager Stanford promises that the
company and productions for the sum-
mer of 1907 will be above the standard
maintained in the past. The company
will be strengthened by some strong
additions and the old favorites retain
ed. The Blaker Stock Company being
the pioneer theatrical enterprise Of the
island the management has worked
hard to add to the honors achieved In
the past and the crowds which filled
the theatre to overfiowing nightly is
the best evidence Of the public's sp-
probation. The theatre will close for
the season Sunday evening, Septem-
ber 9th, with concert that will excel

How Conditions Have Changed In

Truly the position of women before
the law has suffered mighty changes.
Fifty or sixty years ago the twain were
indeed one. and that one the husband.
He could collect all debts, such as
wages that might be due her-though
incidentally, he was liable for all she
owed. She could not make a will Of
her real estate, nor of her personal
property, without his permission, and
he was entitled to the income from her
lands. He could lock her up In his
house and keep her there. Whether he
could infiict chastisement was Il moot
point, though n judge of the North Caro-
lima supreme court held In 1866 that he
possessed this power, provided he used

larger than his thumb"

many years Mr.. Warner's summer
home was at Cape May. A few years
ago he was induced to come to Wild
wood, buying the Spratt cottage,
where he died. He improved this
property and made it one OF the most
beautiful in Wildwood. The spacious
lawn and flower garden about the
house was his especial pride, and
without doubt it was the most beauti-
full on the whole Five Mile Beach.
OF late years most of his time was
spent in personally caring for this prop

Whims of Ibsen.

Like many another man great In his
writings, Henrik Ibsen was not with
out his foibles. Scorning company as
he professed to do and declaring al
ways for solitude, he nevertheless de
lighted to be dIned, and to invite him
to banquet In his own especial honor
was to give the great man unalloyed
pleasure. In his latter days, too, he
developed passion for decorations, Of
which he received large number from
his own and foreign monarchs, and on
public occasions he would wear all his
insignia as probably the most deco
rated author IN the world. 1t was on
public occasions that Ibsen would car
ry a small mirror and comb IN the
crown of his hat, and .'coram populo'
would proceed to arrange his bushy
hair and whiskers.
