The Ham Tree.

Belle Gold, who plays Desdemona.
the colored maid, with Mcintyre and
Heath in "The Ham Tree" has made
something Of reputation as a dra-
matte writer as we'll as character
Coincidence. She has written several
plays, three Of which have been sue
cessfully produced "a Colorado
Wait" AN Angel of Mercy" and "The
Mail Boy" Miss Gold starred in "a
Colorado Wait" for two seasons. She
also wrote the successful vaudeville
playlet, THE Maid from Maine," and
several popular ballads, among them
The Tale the Belle Told" Miss Gold
has proved herself an exceptionally
clever actress in her work with Nc
Intyre and Heath, she especially ex-
ceiling in the delineation of negro
character types. This is rather re-
markable in a woman. There are but
four players in this line of work on
the American stage who are regarded
as of the first rank.

revolutions are started down there,
and that they occur with great regu-

There has been quite a lot in the

Chicago. and after few public OFF,
Gals are unseated, and Honduras and
Nicaragua say all the bitter things they

with their pay owing them, and resume
their agricultural pursuits.
Most Of the natives down there are
either Indian, negro, or a mixture of
one or the other of these with Spanish.
The white men are comparatively few
in number. and in most cases the gov

gradual control, I'LL the Offices with

buildings burned, and then they be-

Gallatin Denies Claim.

New York, Mar. 6.-Breaking the
silence which has followed Miss
Ethel Kellys filing her $4,000 breach
Of promise suit against him, Jack"
Gallatin, clubman, actor and expert
mental merchant, who married the
daughter of the late "Al" Adams Jan
uary 1, spoke. He denied all the
charges the pretty actress had brought
against him, fling his answer with
her attorneys.
Gallatin admits that he casually
knew Miss Kelly, but is certain that
he never made In person nor wrote
her any proposals of marriage. II
he sent her any letters which might
have been construed as affectionate he
has forgotten it.
Marriage Aroused Actress.
1t was the announcement Of Gala
tins secret marriage to Miss Ida
Adams in Bridgeport and of the later
ceremony in New York that stirred
Miss Kelly to activity. Miss Kelly
was playing six nights a week and
two matinees with the "IAttle Cherub"
company but she found time to COL
lect big packet Of letters and seek
legal advice.
Mrs. Gallatin professed to take the
suit against her new husband az
lightly as did "Jack" himself.
Il knew all about my husbands &C.
quaintance with Miss Kelly before our
marriage" she said. II am convinced
that some outside influence has been
brought to bear upon her or she
never would have brought suit"
Gallatin's engagement to Edna Wal
lace Hopper was once announced. It
was later broken. His marriage to
Miss Adams was his second matrimon-
ial venture.

FOR DIsEsTABLIsHMENT.
Vote in British Commons on Church
Question.

London, Feb. 27.-In the House of
Commons tonight a resolution In fav-
or Of the disestablishment and olsen
dowment of the church in both Eng
land and Wales was adopted by 1893
votes to 80. This resolution does not
commit the government, but the de-
bate upon it was interesting on &C.
count Of statement made by August
Inc Birrell, the chief secretary for Ire
land. Mr.. Birrell said he failed to
see how the continuance Of the es-
tablished church could be justified. The
curch had done the state no good, and
the state had done the church nothing
but harm.
This 10 the fist time in its history
that the House of Commons has adopt
ed such resolution. The only prev
ious time a similar resolution was.
pressed to division was in May, 1871,
and 1t was then rejected by a large
mapority.

duras since Cortez started the fighting
there early in the sixteenth century,
and there has been periodic internal
and external upheavals. Each one of
these smaller republics goes about with
chip on its shoulder most of the
time, and when it's knocked of war
follows. It would be violating an an
cient and time-honored custom not to
fight II an opportunity to do it arose
when the weather was not too hot.
There hasn't been a scrap in either
Honduras or Nicaragua for some years,
and they are beginning to feel the need
of excitement there.
Almost anybody can get a political
Job down there II he has the initiation
fee, but no outsider wants to mix up in
politics unless he has farming imple-
ments or rifles to sell. Then, too, If
he isn't in 1t for the money he gets out

his hands when he delivers the goods,
for II he doesn't there may be new
president in Office when he wakes up
in the morning.
1.-THE average reported fight is not of
much more importance than a strike
in the United States, and, take my
word for it, there are not nearly SO
many people killed in it as there are
In one of your monthly steamship or
railroad accidents. Particularly will
this hold true Of the present trouble in
Central America. In Honduras the ma
tves are taking great interest in ag-
riculture. and the crops are promising
this season, SO much so, in fact, that
the government forces are sadly de-
pleted. Tobacco has been successfully
marketed by them lately, and the craze
for wealth Is even becoming rife among
the lower classes of Indians"

HAYWARD WICK AND CIARK's COTTON
 LETTER.
By Private Wire to Walter Cotter and Co

A2 Commerce St.
 New Orleans, Feb. 14.-Saturday's inform ation from liverpool that spinners were call ing cotton proved correct. Spot sales there reached a total of 12.000 bales today. This accounts for the steadiness of futures which being unchanged were due three to four lower.
 To this support from spots in Liverpool there was added our side that of bad weather throughout the belt Reports of heavy rains in the southern, sleet and rain In the northern portions were coming in all day and attracted buying to new crop options Regardless of decline in New York, our market opened one to two higher and gained eight more in the first hour.
 The market premium over New York, was increased tc 100 points in March futures. Towards the end of last week things began to look brighter for the short side and bearish hopes and confidence were raised but these spot developments in Liverpool again upset calculations as so often before and continually harassed by disappointment, shorts covered again today.
 Should spots prevent declines for two weeks. a falling off in the movement and bullish weather news may have to be reckoned with by the short side. Our Liver pool correspondents cabled that the Bombay crop is unlikely to exceed last years against estimates early in the season of 300.00o excess.
 Spots here are very steady: good inquiry but bad weather so far prevents business Developments in the spot market here this afternoon were not as expected. Demand dropped out offerings are freer and prices easier.
 The advance in futures was maintained nevertheless owing to steadiness in New York where shorts are reported covering siderably less than last Tuesday and a lighter movement is promised for this week.
 Yours truly.
