HOApRs OR MONEY, WHICH?
German Baron Either Has to Give Up
His Wife and Coin or Politi-
cal Future.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Baroness
Won Eckhardstein, wife of the council
lor of the German foreign office, is
bringing suit in the English courts for
the restitution of her cOnjugal rights.
Back of this suit is remarkable ro-
nance
The baroness is the daughter and
heiress of the late Sir John Blundell
Maple, the millionaire furniture dealer.
She was married to the baron in 1896,
when he was an attache of the Germon
embassy at London. The marriage was
the most fashionable function of the
wear. The king, then Prince of Wales,
was present, and all the royal family
showered presents on the bride.
Although the marriage of trades
mans daughter to one of the prOudest
knights of German chivalry who was
reputed to be the handsOmest man in
the diplomatic corps attached to the
Court of ST. James, was social tri-
umph. Maple did not look with favor
on the alliance.
The wealthy father had strong dis
like to the prospect of the millions he
had piled up in trade being used to re-
store the fallen fortunes of the house
of Eckhardstein. AS a bar to this dis
position of his fortune Maple, in his
will. appointed his daughter sole heir
ess, subject to the conditions that she
live two thirds of every year on her
estates in England
At the time of Sir Blundells death,
Won Eckhardstein was living in Ger
manq, having just been appointed
councillor for the German foreign Of
flee. 1t was known that his friendship
to the kaiser is such that in no dis
tant future he is certain to be appoint
ed chancellor of the German empire.
Won Eckhardstein has now to choose
between his English wife, with her
millions, and the fatherland and those
honors which Germany could give him.

SCENIC TEMPLE

What purports 10 be an excellent bill will
be seen at the Scenic Temple this week
IL has many good numbers on the list,
and should prove winner from the OPEN
Ing 10 the close.
The vaudeville opens with Mayo and
Rose In an exceptionally good comedy
sketch entitled "a Tip on the Races /"
Billie Pryor appears In a singing. dancing
and musical act that is also very COED
Elsie Ballard. comely young woman
comes here with very good reputation: :
and Ira kessner will sing the latest in
popular songs prettily illustrated.
The pictures are also of the good quality
that the Scenic Temple offers to its pa-
irons. "The Clock Makers Secret is one
of those pictures that are full of interest
from the very start 1t tells the tale
where prize Is offered for the man who
invents the most wonderful and ingenious
clock; then travels to where the man
conspicuous In this picture sells his soul
to the devil, and the devil in turn inn
parts his version OF the wonderful clock
Then the devil calls for his reward. and
the man is about to give up his soul

The others are: "The Deaf Mutes' Ball.

OF many man In public life In Graft"
there are two women whose influence Is
strongly felt: one for good and the other
for evil The interest naturally awak-
ened by such a situation Is lent peculiar
fascination. IL is said. by the unique re-
lation sustained by these two women 10
each other. Just what this is will not be
detailed here. Its development Is one OF
the many clever surprises OF tho. play.
Graft" deals with boss rule and general
political depravity I'm largo American
cities, and shows the fight against cor
rupuQp, made ALMOST single handed b- a
young rict-attorncy with noble Ideals
and the courage to live up to them. The
boss of the dominant machine, one BuntZ
by name. man of unlimited wealth and
of great unscrupulousness. when he finds
he cannot bride and muzzle the re-
former, resolves upon his political and
social extinction.
The contest resulting Is one Of that cx-
citing kind that keep community in
suspense and ferment until the last re-
turns are in. IL is said that Mr.. Hop
wood has transferred the Incidents 10 the
stage I'm an exceedingly realistic manner
and that Elwood +. Bostwick. Byron
Douglas. Walter Thomas. John Emerson.
Elita Proctor Otis, Virginia Milliman
and their associates enact them with
proper Intensity and power. One scene
which is sure TO arouse the audience is
n torchlight procession which the young
candidate addresses from the balcony of
his house at midnight on the eve of the
election. II Is said that the entire pro-
duction shows great care I'm the matter
of details. and that the scenic settings
are appropriate and elaborate
The engagement will be one of unusual
interest because of the presence i'm the
cast of two players well and favorably
known in this city. Ewood +. Bostwick
was for two seasons a member of stock
companies in Pawtucket and Providence.
and was the manager OF the Shubert
theatre I'm this city two years ago. Wal
ter Thomas appeared with the Keith
theatre stock company for two winters
and his capability as an actor was thor
oughly demonstrated at that time.
