Ralph Stuart began the second week Of
his engagement with the Willard Mack
company at the Bungalow last night very
auspiciOusly. The TransgressOT. the
play for this week, is of the sombre type.
and deals with the old story of a hard
working, lovable man being driven from
his home and child by his foolish wife,
who. before her marriage, was a spoiled
society woman The husband, an actor of
ability. drinks heavily. but is finally res
cued by an actress friend and pTospers.
while the deluded wife is murdered BIZ
the villain for whom she left her husband.
There is considerable comedy to relieve
the situation. and the audience was well
pleased with the production. Mr. Stuart,
as the &Tonged husband, has ample oppor-
tunitv for the display of his versatility
and he performed most creditably. Spe-
cial mention should be made of the scenes
in which Mr.. Stuart and Baby Kennedy
have the center of the stage. Miss Hall
did not have such an important part as
she usually has but her acting was up to
her usual high standard. Miss Anna
Cleveland. as the unfortunate wife was
seen in one Of the best roles TN which she
has appeared since coming to Salt Lake
and her work was very satisfactory. Mr.
HeffrOn as the villain. of course, was a.
good a villain as he has been in innumer-
able roles. His makeup in the last act
was especially good Miss Gates. Miss
McNaughtOn and Mr.. Alcine all did clever
work. The mana cement is to be congrat-
uiated on having good settings. the flat
setting in the third act winning well mer-
tied applause. The play will run during
the week and promises to draw capacity

KIDNAPPING CASE
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Thirteen Year Old Girl Has
 Been Missing Two Days
BIG REWARD FOR CHILD
Police Are at a Loss to Account for the Disappearance of the Girl, But Believe She Was Car
 rled Away In an Auto.

New York, April 24.-(Special. .)-Follow- ing the mysterious disappearance on Fri day of Adele Boas, the 13-year-old daugh- ter of Arthur A. Boas. of No. 10 West Eighty-eighth street, the parents at family council held tonight decided to of fer a reward of S25OO for the recovery of the child. It also was decided to engage private detectives in the search for the girl, who vanished within a few blocks of her home
 The child had left Madame Anna's mil linery store at No. 1o5 West Eighty-first street with her mother only a few mo- ments before she disappeared. Her mother, who desired to go downtown to do some shopping, in parting at 4:15 had kissed her daughter, who had prom ised to return directly to her home.
 From that moment not a single clue to the whereabouts of the child or of the fate that overlook her has been found. Her vanishing Is even more mysterious than that of 8-year-old Willie Whitla at Sharon, Pa. There was never any doubt that the Whitla boy was kidnapped, but the method by which the Boas girl was whisked from human ken Is so far the merest guesswork
 Police detectives, the heartbroken pa- rents and their relatives and friends, who had searched in vain, had to admit that they were at an absolute loss to even begin to trace her.
 The police had theory that she was Kidnapped in an automobile while walking homeward. They point out that numerous cases like that have occurred lately, and that the girl was probably lured into the machine for little ride to be carried off to one of the up-Hudson towns.

TRANSFER OF CASE
 TO FEDERAL COURT

Meridian. Miss, April 24-(Special.) )-The suit of William H. Armbrecht of Mobile vs. Clarence M. Howard. Edward w. Howard, Gregory M. Luce, trustees. and the Meridian Light and Railway com pany, filed some time ago in the chancery court of Lauderdale county, has, by order of Chancellor Whitman been transferred to the United States court of the South ern district of Mississippi. In the original complaint 1t was set out that the com plainant had been induced to transfer to the defendants 103 shares of the common stock of the Meridian Light and Railway company in exchange for one-tenth in- terest in some mineral lands in Halifax county, Virginia, and complainant al- Ieges that a test of 40 hours was made of the output of the mill, and he was told that this was a fair sample of what amount of ore it would turn out, and that this statement was incorrect, and he was therefore mislead into making the pur- chase and transferring the shares of stock in the street railway company, and the complainant sought to stop the defend- ants, any or either of them, from draw ing any dividends from the stock or from voting them.
 In the application to the chancellor for the transfer to the United States court the defendants, who live in New York, auege that they are really the only defendants interested, and they signed the necessary bond for carrying the case to the United States court in this district, alleging fur ther that a suit practically similar had been instituted in the United States court in New York, but the case will likely be tried in the court of this district The case will probably come up for trial at the next term of court

 During the coming season a number of new stars will be engaged at the Man

haitian, and many novelties introduced Among these will be included Maeter- linck's "Monna Vanna,' with musical set ting by the young composer, Henry Feirier.
 This opera has scored most sensation al success in Paris and has the most hon. orable distinction of being the first French opera ever produced at the Paris opera house devoid of ballet Preced- ing this. only Richard Wagner has avoid ed the ballet, which adds still greater honor to this young French composer in being follower of one so immortal and whose name stands for only the loftiest in music.
 On May the Chicago College of Music will move into its handsome new home, and in the future is to be known as the Ziegfeld Musical college, after its distin- guished founder, this institution having been founded by pr.

CIPRIANO CASTRO
 MAD AS A HORNET

Paris, April 24-CIpriano Castro, the de- posed president of Venezuela, who ar rived here yesterday from Martinique whence he was expelled by the French authorities, was visited today by two physicians. The doctors, however. de- clined to express an opinion regarding the seriousness of Castro's condition. It is believed here that his illness is being ex- aggerated.
 To some of his callers Castro today again broke out in torrent of rage against Juan Vincente Gomez, the present president of Venezuela, and against the United States. He said he could almost forgive the treachery of Gomez to him self if Gomez had not sold the country to America. Europe, Castro repeated a dozen times, was blind to the game Amer lea was playing under the guise of pro- tecting the Monroe doctrine.
 Although the French press generally ridicules Castro's grandiloquent utter ances, note of pity for the wanderer runs through all their comment on his doings.

 That's nice," said Morill. That's very easy and it's very good of you.'
 And he fulfilled the pledges.
 Leland has another story about Morrill, and his campaign for governor in 1894 Everybody knew of Morrill's friendship for Tom Reed Mckinley was then gov ernor of Ohio, and Mckinley and Reed were the two most prominent candidates for the republican presidential nomina- tion In 1896.

 Reed heard about it and did not come to Kansas, as he had been expected to do.
 "Why, Morrill, said some of his friends, did you introduce Mckinley as the next President? You and Reed are very good friends and everybody knows you are for Reed for President. Why did you do that?"
 "Oh." Morrill, responded, "I would have introduced Tom the same way if he had come to Kansas"
