ANDREW MACK'S
 NAME HID DIVORCE
He is William A. McAloon, Under Which
 Title He is Sued by His Wife.

When it was published two months ago that Mrs. Alice V. McAloon had sued William A. McAioon for a divorce none but intimate friends knew that Andrew Mack, singer of Irish songs and comedian, was the defendant. The actor was known among his associates on the stage as Mack for short and finally that came to be his name.
 On July Is Justice Erlanger of New York sent the case before Leopold w. Hamburger as referee, to try the case, and already several hearings have been held. That McAloon was Mack and Mack was McAloon was not learned by outsiders until some of the witnesses in the case told after they testified.
 The wife of the comedian named Mae Stevenson, his leading lady in '.The Way to Kenmare," as co-respon- dent The name of the correspondent in the divorce papers is given as Kate Humphrey. She was not an actress of note until Mack took her on six teen months tour of the world in 1897 and 1898, which included Australia and New Zealand.
 x The McAloons were married in Bos- ton on Dec. T. 1887. That was& before the singer became popular on the stage. One child, Francis Az McAloon born in 1899 was the result of the mar riage. Mrs. McAloon alleges in her complaint that her husband left her six years ago. She lived in Boston un- til she decided to sue for a divorce and then moved to New York to bring the action.
 Mack is well known in this city where he has often appeared.

'JAPAN'S DOMINATION ALARMS DIPLOMATS
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 London, Aug. 20.-Japan's domination over China, almost equal to her con- trol of Korea, is believed by many English diplomats to be the probable result Of the defeat the Pekin government sufrered from Tokio in the exchange of notes over the Antung- Mukden Hallway. Oficials of the British Foreign Office say there has already been unmfstakable evidence of a tightening of Janaese influence in Pelkin. The Antung- -Mukden dispute illustrates the Japanese methods of accomplishing results After waiting what they considered a reasonable time for China to authorize the im- |provement Of the line the Japanese peremptori1y demanded it. China de- ciined, whereupon Tokio notified Pe- kin that the road would be rebuilt anyway and actually began work on it. At this juncture Mukden weaken ed and Japan instantly sent a cour- teousf note to Pekin thanking the gov ernment there for it's prompt and sat isfactory reply to the Mikado's gov ernment.
 No sympathy whatever is felt here for the present reactionary Chinese regime. The threatened reduction oi of virtual vassalage to the Japanese is considered here of the most serious
 consequence to. the world. In spite of the Angio-Japanese treaty there has been much suspicion felt of the MiExa- do lately and it is upofficially stated from the Foreign Office that King Ed
 wards government did nothing to back up the Mikado in the Antung- Mukden railway matter.

feature long to be remembered,
and from an artistic standpoint it
has never been equaled anywhere.
Sheriff Kit Woods rode in adj
vance of the parade to clear the
streets, while Grand Marshal j.
T. Hall and his corps of assistants
headed the parade proper.
The attractive floats gotten upby
our enterprising merchants was
revelation to the city's guests, and

ing attired in white and heliotrope

the family left to the cold charity
of the world. This had its ludi-
crous feature.
A group of little children filled
the float of j. G.. Presson.
Weatherly & Redick had float
