deeply absorbed with the case of the
Englishman. Sargent and his wife, said
to be an American, arrested at Asniers.
charged with the gross ilt-treatment Of
four children whom they had adopted.
and claim that the developments indi-
cate the probability of a great scandal.
The chief energy of the authorities is
being directed to tracing the parentage
of the children. They announce that
Mrs Sargent claims that the eldest
child, who was so bTutal1y beaten that
she is now in hospital, is named Mary
Ann Edgeworth, and that she was born
Oct Is. 1899, in Newark. \. J. The po-
lice say the woman insists that she is
the daughter of a Frenchman named
Savin. and an American woman, who
now lives in the United States, and that
they forward her each year 5000.
Before a magistrate today the woman
declared she had not maltreated the
children-that she had only cnastlsed
them when pun shment was necessary.
There were violent scenes in the court
room between the accused couple and
their servants the latter charging the
woman with being a ''prevaricath's
monster" Sargent collapsed when the
magistrate was examining him.
The police say they have established
the fact that the youngest child ADOPTED
by the Sargents was born in November
at the Holy Trinity lodge, an Anglo
American institution the membership
of which is composed OF Engiisn and
American girls The official register
gives the name of the child as Kerr
meth EdgewinsteT. d son of Mabel JOnn-
son. In December, after having Verf-
fed excellent references given py the

child to the couple

orally regarded as a compromise. as a
number OF senators had drafted report
declaring the merger to be in violation
of the Sherman antitrust Law, and
rebuking President Roosevelt for his
part in the transaction. while others
declared that it was not the function of
the committee under the resolution
adopted to pass upon these questions.
Caused Much Discussion.
The decision not to submit either of
the reports of the subcommittee was
reached after great deal of discussion
F nally Senator Fulton moved that
disagreement be reported and that each
senator would have the individual right
reserved to him to make such express
siOns of views to the senate as he de-

Doubtless no impTessioHable girl ever
went to see Maude Adams without imi-
tatiag the mannerisms of that charming
little lady for days thereafter And the
spOntaneity with which this was done
convinced her that i'm the right clothes

Sorrow makes of every woman a little

The advertised transfer of the
Orpheum Theatre on Saturday eve
ming did not take place as persched-
ule, owing to the; fact that Messrs.
Smith 4 Dees, the. genial propriet-
ors who have run the place for the
past six months- and picked, up a
detuuct business and placed it on a
paying basis, considered they had a
renewal of the lease foran addition
al six months under a verbal agree
ment which they claim was made
at the time of the granting of the
original lease, to which verbal
agreement it is understood a reput
able witness can be produced.
Acting on this: assumption the
boys did not vacate and turn over
the place and the business on Sat-
urday, but instead of doing 80 have
since camped in the building and
hold possession. On Saturday after
noon Mr.. Whiting, owner of the
block, started action to oust them,
and the case was act for hearing on
Wednesday, before Judge Carey,
but through technicality in the
making of papers the action was
quashed and a new action COM
menced, the date of hearing being
Get for Tuesday, May 4th. In the
meantime the boys. will hold pos
session, giving the public a show
well worthy of patronage.

ness accorded the house the electric

lowing the decree of the court on
Wednesday that the case would not
again come up until May 4 Mr..
Whiting entered the building, re
moving the moving picture machine
which went with the building as a
part of the lease. These defects
have been repaired az rapidly as
perpetrated, and the show goes on
as smoothly as though nobody had
tried to spit against the wind, al
though they have resulted in cross

charge of assault aud on another
charge of gross misdemeanor.
