and subsequently divorced him in Chi
cago and that nine months thereafter
she married Jules Roger Wahl in New
York city. Wahl's father, ii is said. Sc
cured an annulment of this marriage
in France on the ground that his son

JEFF DAVIS FLAYS WALL ST.
Senator Attacks Alleged "Evils of the
Money Power"

Washington, Jan. 20. - The alleged
evils attending gambling in the prod
ucts of the soil by the sale of futures
on the exchanges was the subject Of
a passionate speech delivered by Sen
ator Jeff Davis in the senate. Mr.. Da-
Wis denounced what he declared to be
evils Of the 'money power" and refer
red to the acts Of Caesar in securing
laws to suppress usury and in obtain
ing legislation for the benefit Of the
poor Of Rome, followed by his tragic
death when, surrounded by the
treachery of the money power, twenty
three knife wounds pierced his body.
illustrating the terrible fate that lies
In the path of any man who seeks to
shake loose from the throat of any
government these parasites Of wealth
that attempt to control the destinies
of the government" He further said:
THE money power of this govern
ment is treading upon dangerous
ground. They do not know or else
they do not care that the people are
already ground down with taxation
and the weight of government until
their backs are almost broken beneath
it's load. l would not be an alarmist,
but predict here and now that unless
congress turns a listening ear to the
lamentations of an outraged public
within ten years the red broom of war
may sweep this government as it has
never been swept before, and when
that day shall break in all its fury
woe to the crowd working in the field
of legislation that have laid these
grievous burdens upon the backs Of
the crowd working in the field of hu.
man endeavor"

BOGUS PASTOR A FUGITIVE.
Took a Minister'S Name and Preached
For Four Months.


For Four Months.
st. Louis, Jan. 26.-That a young
man who for four months preached
from the pulpit of the Congregational
church in this city was an impOstor,
using the name Of a Chicago clergy
man, is the allegation made in a let
ter received from the Moody Bible in
stitute, Chicago, by the Rev. Herman
Swartz, pastor of the Webster Grove
Congregational church.
The clergyman" called himself
REV. Ivan NJ. Gray" and just before
leaving Greenwood he paid accounts
with bank checks, receiving several
hundred dollars in change. The checks
were returned as worthless.
AS the man had said that he was a
graduate OF the Moody Bible institute
inquiry was made there. The answer
states that Mr.. Gray is pastor Of a
Chicago church and has never been in
st. Louis.

CANNOT RAISE REPUBLIC.
sunI<en Liner Lies at Depth Of ut
Least 200 Fathoms.

Boston, Jan. 26.-Captain Alfred So
renson, one of the best known wreck
ers on the coast, was asked what were
the chances Of raising the Republic.
He said:
They will never raise the Republic.
She lies at least 200 fathoms deep.
Now, a diver cannot work in water
over 100 feet, and he cannot perform
laborious tasks in water much over
sixty feet.
'If the Republic lay in ten fathoms
it might be possible to pump her out.
provided there was a period Of good
weather lasting for several weeks.
Where the ship lies is open ocean and
exposed to the gales from every point
of the compass. She is total loss.
They won't even be able TO get any
cargo out of her"

Her at Lecture.
London, Jan. 26.-Mrs. Carrie Nation,
who is attempting to deliver a series
Of lectures here, met with a very hos
tile reception at the Canterbury Music
hall. She was pelted with eggs, one Of
them striking her in the face.
From the very beginning the au-
dlence maintained chorus Of ''bOos"
and Kisses. Her manager vainly ap-
pealed for fair play, and Mrs. Nation
was obliged to quit the house under
police protection.
Mrs. Nation has made the discovery
that London is the wickedest city In
Great Britain that she has yet visited.
She is afraid she will have to bring
her hatchet into play for the purpose
OF cleansing the Augean stable. She
says: Before the vices Of London !
stand appalled,. Strong and immediate
action Is necessary"

transferred from one sinking ship
to another and finally to the decks of
the Baltic, they showed marvellous
fortitude and nerve. 1t was enough to
bring the tears to ones eyes. Imagine
those women, in wet night attire, with
hair hanging dishevelled and wet from
the ocean spray-not one complaining
or protesting. They had lost their be-
longings. and their lives had been
thrice endangered, but they were ac-
tually CHEEKY. 1t was a spirit that
cheered us all.
"One Of the noblest spirits Of that
noble band Of shipwrecked humans
was the Countess Pasolini, an Ameri-
can girl, the wife of an Italian noble
man. When she came aboard the ship,
wet and bedraggled, she went at once
to the steerage and began to minister
to the unfortunate women of the
steerage. She forgot her own miseries
to lessen those of others. 1t was a
magnificent sight"
General Brayton Ives, one of the
Republics passengers, spoke with
much bitterness of his treatment on
the Republic after the collision. He
said:
"From the time of the collision
saw no officer of the ship for hours.
There were stewards around, smoking
black pipes in the faces of the women
passengers, but not one officer to di-
rect them. to encourage the women
and children. to give information or to
quell panic.
Il own a yacht and know enough
about seafaring matters to know pref
ty well when such an emergency is
being handled properly. l say that
the handling of the Republic after the
wreck was conspicuously inefficient
and conspicuous by its absence.
"The first and only time 1 saw the
captain was when he appeared on the
bridge and said that it was consider
ed necessary TO move us to the other
ship. the Florida. She was lying a
quarter of mile away. He said that
all the women and children would be
taken first. The women and children
were separated from the men, and the
loading into the boats was speedily
done But 1 saw no officer supervis-
ing this work.
''No officers Of the Republic accom-
panied us to the Florida. There was
no officer of the Republic there to
care for us. We were left to the
courtesy of the italian captain. He
did the best he could. We had some
potato soup and maccaroni. The ship
was dirty and in disorder. 1t was as
uncomfortable as an Italian emigrant
ship could be. We were kept on deck
in the rain all the time. with no seats
| even.
There was Il long. unnecessary de-
lay in making ready for the transfer
to the Baltic. during which the sea
and wind were constantly rising
was told they We're haggling about the
! terms of salvage.
MY whole criticism of the affair is
summed up in the neglect of the Re
public's officers in not accompanying
their passengers and looking out for
them and the way the captain left
everybody to shift for himself What
else did he have to do, once he saw
how badly his ship was damaged, ex-
cept to take care of his passengers:
| He never came near u.s."

20 DAYS IN MESSINA RUINS.

Debris by Soldiers.


Debris by Soldiers.
Messina, Jan. 26.-Gaetano Militello
an octogenarian, has been rescued
alive from the earthquake ruins.
Militello managed to escape from un-
der the walls of a house a few days
after the earthquake, fleeing in terror
to the outskirts of the town. For n
time he sustained life with herbs, but
at length fell exhausted under a pile
of wreckage. where he was found by
the soldiers.
Within the last three days 200 per-
mits have been issued to individuals
to excavate on their own premises. A
large number of people are now en-
gagged in this task, and hundreds of
dead bodies are being removed.

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch.

Among good plays, Mrs. Wigs of
the Cabbage Patch'', which comes to
the Lyric for matinee ard night Tuesday
Jan. 26, seems to have the most super
abundant vitality. From the first, dram
atzation of Mrs. Rice's two popular
stories, "Mrs. Wigs" and "Lovey Mary"
met with degree of popular favor
more enthusiastic, if anything, than
that awarded those "best selling" novels
of low life in mean streets. In Mrs.
Wigs herself, Mrs. Hazy, Lovey Mary,
and Mr.. Stubbins, the play presents
four types, each one OF which remains
firmly fixed in the most pleasant recollec-
tions of the playgoer. The character of
Mrs. Wigs, the optimstand philosopher
of the Cabbage Patch, takes rank with
many of the prominent comedy crea-
tions heretofore presented upon the
American stage. A very close second
for popularity is the character of Miss
Hazy, the forlorn and lugubrious spin
ster, in which the dramatist has evolved
something new and likeable in the psy-
0
chology of the unmarried. Miss Hazy
marres Mr.. Stubbins: ''the prominent
citizen of Bagdad junction" has been
provided by a matrimonial agency, and
! in the various scenes between Miss Hay
and her matrim onial bargain, the humor
is irresistible. Lovey Mary, in her tran
sition from the pages of the book to the
stage has been made a very lovable char
acter who at once wins the sympathy of
the audience. The juvenile element in
the stories of MRS. Wigs" and "Lovey
Mary" is decidedly happy in its humor-
GUS appeal, and plays an equally de-
lightful part in the play. Asia, Euro
pena and Australia and Billy Wigs;
Chris Hazy with his wooden leg; Pete
and the other sons and daughters of the
Patch make the scenes bright and merry
with the play and sunshine of childhood.
And "Cuby" the "fit-horse" whose
''ights was riz" is not forgotten in this
background of juvenile jollity and pic
nicking.

"'Fin Teeple knowed the ways of wild
critters in the woods so complete and
could handle his gun so unfailing that
he didn't have to see his game at all to
whang it over. All he wanted was 70
hear it holler or rustic or thump in the
brush, no matter how thick the brush
was and bang his old gun would 60
belching bullets or buckshot in the di-
rection of the hollering or the rustling
and humping in the bushes. Then the
hollerng and the rustling and the thump-
ing would quit mighty sudden and Fin
would walk in and get his game.
"'One day he was out when a fog
dumped itself over everything the thick
est he or any one else had ever knowed
it to dump itself, and as Fin stood and
cussed that fog for holding him up that
way he heard a panther yell off to one
side of him.
We'll, says Fin, 'I'll get that pan
ther anyway and that'll be little con-
solation.'

Fin whanged way toward the spot where
the yell come from, but he could scarce
ly believe his ears when he heard the
panther tearing away unhit through the
woods, for nothing like that had ever
happened to Fin before.
Pm gettin' old, says he. Il can't
shoot no more. And I'll jest about die
with shame when l go home and have
to tell about it. 1t was loaded with 10
buckshot, too," says he.
But Fin didn't go home and have
to tell about it. All he had to tell was
as he sat there moaning over how he
couldn't shoot any more, the fog began
to clear, and as it got thinner and thin
ner he heard sudden rattling made by
something coming tumbling down like
hail on the dead leaves. He went and
looked to see whatit was, and picked up
them 10 buckshot he had fired at the
panther's yell.
"'The fog had been too solid for 'em"
said Fin, "and they lodged in it 'afore
they could go 20 feet. 1t let 'em go
ag' lin when it thinned out, of course"
said he, "but all they could do then was
to rattle down to the ground.

not to have such fog as that one Fin
Teeple struck, said the landlord, for
then he wouldn't have got any bear at

that the fog outside had come down as
hefty as Fin Teeple's for the day was
young yet and the landlords memory
evidently just getting in good working
order" But the fog had cleared up.so
that had no excuse for tarrying longer.
