In spirit of girlish frolic she

born of actual experience, the au-
thor, Edward Sheldon, has written
a play of Stun life in the metropo-
lis, whose truth and message strike
home. The part of Nell Sanders,
a scrub girl in a vice surrounded
saloon, affords Mrs. Fiske some of
the finest acting opportunities of
her career, and her Nell has taken
rank alongside her Tess, Becky
Sharp and other notable creations
Although widely different from any
part Mrs. Fiske has had before, her
present role is one of the most
appealing and absorbing in which
she has yet been seen.

BY II. D. WHEELER

SAN JOSE, Cal, July 17.-In a
cell in the city prison here, just
after he had pleaded guilty and
had been sentenced to seven years
in the California penitentiary, |
talked for upwards of 20 minutes
with Christian G. Anderson, or
John Madison, or John c. Ander-
son, or whatever may be the
baptismal name of the man of
many wives and aliases whom the
police declare has married 10 wom-
en- and duped for their money at
least IA more, and who is believed
to have a record in nearly every
large city of the country.
Johnson, who has admitted two
marriages, talked mostly of wom-
en-. And this is about the impress
sion of the bigamist's standards
that I carried out of the cell:
All women are fools. Women
being fools, deceiving women,
wrecking their homes and their
lives, is joke. Therefore, the
more women deceived, the more
homes and lives wrecked, the big
ger the joke. If the quickest way
to wOman's heart is through her
baby, then the baby is part of the
joke.
/ didn't enjoy my talk with John
son. 1t isn't at all pleasant to hear
gray haired man expressing his
contempt for the law, speak light
ly, jestingly, of his betrayals, his
home wrecking. of the love of the
good women whom he led to sacri
flee all that womanhood holds dear
for joke.
Johnson said he was 65 years
old. He looks 10 years younger.
His hair is gray and his skin sal
low, almost yellow. But his face
is unwrinkled save for few SHAH
low burrows about the eyes and
mouth. His eyes are soft blue and
his features delicately cut. He is
little deaf, little stopped. Il
found him intelligent, but uncul-
tured. He speaks slowly, plodding-
ly, his voice without cadence.
Looking at him, l could not dis
cover the deadly fascination that
enabled him to become, probably,
the most astounding bigamist of
the age. He is handsome, in a
way, but when he smiled thought
of wolf. Perhaps it was because
of what l knew of him, but in his
face l thought l discerned re-
Election of the deformity of his
soul.
A cynical smile was his answer
to my first question. l had asked
him If he didn't think it would
have paid him better to devote his
life to one good woman.
How better?" he parted.
well, for one thing, you would
not have been in jail"
"Oh, the jail" and he shrugged
his shoulders.
Evidently the jail was part
of the joke.
Then you are thoroughly salts
fied?"
Satisfied? No. I haven't been
satisfied for 80 years. l was born
in Schleswig- Holstein. l loved a
young girl there. She is dead. For
80 years her spirit has haunted
me. making all other women APP
pear ugly and ridiculous"
Ridiculous in what way?"
why, they're fools. All women
are fools. Once l wanted the COM
partnership OF one good woman. I
advertised here for wife. ! got
200 answers. Fools? l should say
so-fools, marriage mad"
And again JOhnson's face
wrinkled into that wolfish grin
"They say you are hypnotist,'
| suggested. rs hypnotism part of
your secret of winning women"
There is no secret. The man
who wins a woman is the man who
finds the quickest way to her
heart"
And what" l asked as quietly
as ! could, lis the quickest way?'

TO BUILD CASTLE HALL.
Knights of Pythias Will Build Hall
on First Street-Lower Floor
for Armory.

Last Friday night saw the largest
meeting of Wishkah Lodge, Knights
of Pythias ever held, the hall being
packed. And the bunch was charged
with enthusiasm over the question
of building home for the order on
the lots recently purchased on First
street between G and H.
After the regular order Of busi-
ness, D. M. Bowes called for sub
scriptlons to the stock Of the build
ing fund, and in a short time over
$500 was subscribed. The build
mig, the plans Of which have been
adopted as prepared by G. E. Trout
man, contemplated the lower floor
as a public hall for dancing and
other like uses, but it now appears
that lease can be made to the state
for an armory for Company G. This
would put the structure on paying
basis from the start. and insure all
the money necessary for its con-
struction.
After the business of the evening
splendid banquet, served by Err
vie Phelps-at a cost Of the losing
team in a recent membership con-
test-was served, and thoroughly
enjoyed, by the losers as well as the
winners.

CHARGED WITH SHOPLIFTING
I. Falkoff is in Jail Charged With
Stealing From the Store Of
Geo. ]. Wolff.

l. Falhoff. we'll dressed man about
35 years of age, was detected by
Mrs. I. c. Bush, saleswoman in
the store Of Geo. ]. Wolff. Friday In
the act of carrying off a silk petit
coat, valued at $50. Mrs. Bush no.
titled Mr.. Wolff of her suspicion,
who at once called the police. Falk-
off was soon located in cigar store
and admitted taking the garment,
and wanted to settle the matter by
paying for it. This was refused by
Mr.. Wolff, who said he could not
afford as a citizen to compromise
with a thief. Falkoff then took Mr..
Wolff to his room and restored the
petticoat.
While Mr.. Wolff was in the room
and waiting for the arrival of an
officer, Falkoff skipped out, but was
caught later and locked in the city
Jail. Falkoff claims to be a peddler
who made it business to buy OF To-
cal merchants and sell from house
to house: that he had bought goods
of Mr.. Wolff for this purpose, and
while he took the garment in ques
tion, he intended to pay for it wher
he had made sale.
This is his version Of an unpleas
ant story. and. while he is entitled
to the benefit Of all doubts, his at
tempted escape to Seattle by lock
ing himself in a toilet apartment o
a car does not convey a good i'm
preston. Mr.. Wolff decerves com
mendation for his determination t
prosecute the case, particularly a
Falkoff Is a Jew, and tried hard t
work upon the feelings of his &C
religionist. Mr.. Wolff promptly N
formed him that he knew OF n
> religion that encouraged thievinl
or justified a man in conniving 9
theft by allowing him to escape
! prey upon others. Falkon Is In tn
: city Jail, and will have a hearin
t this afternoon.
