A threat. and one which was idly made, but overheard by an ofricer, caused the night police force. as well as the chief and captains some trouble during last night. when one of the of- ficers stationed in the tenderloin dis trict reported that . soldier from the forts had been heard to remark that we will so in and clean them out to- night" referring to the police.

ReguIate wAarf Charee..

To regulate wharf charges and make the prices charged vessels uniform is the idea of the City Council, and to ac- complish it such an ordinance has been introduced in the council This fixes space occupied by the vessel and her tonnage Is not considered. which is believed to be the most just manner of fixing cnarges
 Not since the city erected two public wharyes has any charge been made whatever for the boats landing. and as a result the wharves are crowded with vessels which take berths there, not to unload cargo, but as permanent mooring places. When vessels arrive with cargoes they are unable to find a landing. With the uniform charge upon all vessels the city will not only derive revenue but keep all of the wharves open.

Paris, April lit has been learned

tween Frederick MacMonnies, the
American sculptor, and his wife, who
was a Miss Mary Fairchild of New
Haven. The couple were married in
this city on September 20, 1883.
1t is understood that the divorce
was arranged amicably and that it
was kept quiet in order to avoid Cos
sip. Not even the two children of
the couple We're aware that their par
ents have separated legally.
Mrs MacMonnies was asked about
it this afternoon and said: There was
no scandal and there has been no re-
elimination on either side. The part
nership simply ceased. Under the
terms of the decree the children will
spend half their time with me and
half with their father"

TOURISTS IN CUBA
Amount of Money Left by American
Travellers Last Winter

Amount of Money Left by American
Travellers Last Winter
Washington, April 17.-Consul Gen
eral JAMES l.. Rodgers reports that
the detail of United States customs
inspectors at Habana to examine the
baggage of passengers proceeding to
Florida ports has given the first salts
factory basis Tor estimate Of the vol
ume of the winter tourist invasion of
Cuba. He also writes of the bene-
fits derived.
The reports show that there have
been over 1000 examinations of bag
gage since January l, and of that num-
Der it is safe to assume that at least
5000 dealt with the effects of tran
silent Americans. Adding to the tour
lists coming and departing by the way
of Florida the number of 500 weekly
from New York and New Orleans and
it can be estimated that Cuba derived
benefit from 10000 visitors during the
past winter season to March l.
Just what this means financially to
Cuba, and especially to Habana it is
impossible of course to state. but cur
rent opinion is to the effect that the
average tourist spends about SIS per
diem, and that the average sojourn is
about four days. If such is anywhere
near the fact, then it can be seen that
the 10000 tourists have left 100000
in Cuba, and during the fI5i two
weeks of March there was probably an
expenditure of a proportionate amount
making a total of S750.0OO This is
very much less than the usual esti-
mate of the money expended, but as
there is likely to be gross eXaggera-
ton in such matters, it is probably
not much of an underestimate if so
at all
The purchase of cigars, Canary Is
land and Spanish lace and linen, pho
tographs, and various souvenirs con
stitute the ordinary method of spend
ing money outside of that paid to the
hotels, which accounts for a large
percentage of the total

John Kendrick Bangs is certainly a
funny man and when he wrote his fa-
nous domestic farce in one act, en-
titled THE Real Thing" he was sure.
ly in his wittiest mood.
1t is currently reported that when
Mr. Bangs created the part of Bird.
get O'Hara, he was not unmindful of
the peculiar ability of Miss Maud
Belden to portray that character in a
manner to surprise even the disting
guished author himself; and those
who attend the presentation of this
play at the Congregational church
parlors, Friday, April 23, can Judge
Tor themselves and probably derive
profit as well as amusement from the
episodes of the aristocratic Bridget.
The price of admission is a penny
Tor each year of your age and so great
is the confidence of the management
of the Ladies' Aid society in the good
intentions of the guests of the birth
day party that arrangements have
been made to empty the contents of
the bags containing the pennies with
out Veritieation, so that those who de-
sire to add few pennies to the num-
Der of years, can feel assured thar
thelr left hand will not know what
their right hand is doing.
The full cast of the play and the
musical program will be published in
this paper some day this week. Watch
for it.
