Cameron had been engaged to DR..

to New York on the. day set for the
wedding. They testified that they
found DR.. Clifton in no condition to
be married. DIR. CIifton's ship had
been ordered on a two years cruise
and the naval surgeon broke up the
wedding party announcing there will
be no wedding until my ship re-
turns"
In this dilemma young Owens. who
was to have been an usher at the
wedding stepped CALAMITY into the
breach.
Let me marry you, Miss Cameron,
ne said.
We thought the neighbors at home
would be satisfied II Dolores returned
home a BRIDE" said Mrs. Cameron on
the stand And would not ask any
question. Accordingly we accepted
Mr. Owens proposition"
The young couple went to Jersey
City and were married. They sep
arated the same day. Both Owens
and his bride made AfffuAvfts stating
that the marriage was only one OF
convenience and that they never In
tended to live together. They joined
i'm the request for an annulment.
The young mans father said to-
day that he knew nothing OF the

ADJUSTMENTS.
~The Girl In The Taxi.D

1.-THE Girl In the Taxi" which comes
to the opera house on Friday, Deem
Der l, was first produced in Paris un-
der the title lie Fills a Papa" which
might be rendered Like Father Like
Som" The piece created one of the
greatest sensations the : French me-
tropolis has. ever known and ran for
more than 1000 nights. It was origin
ally written by Anthony Mars, that
past master in the art of intrigue. The
American adaptation was made by
Stanislaus STANCE, and holds the rec
ord for the long runs of any similar
play in New York, Chicago and Bos-
ton. The locale has been changed
from Paris to New York, but the play
retains all the humor and atmosphere
of midnight life which made it SO
popular abroad.
Mars, the author, has long been
known here and in Europe for his
clever and amusing entertainments.
He was only twenty one, when in con-
nection with Bison, he wrote Sur
prises of Divorce" and although he
will not reach half century for another
twelve month, he has to his credit an
average of a play year.
In the authors opinion, 1.-THE Girl
In the Taxi is by far the cleverest
and funniest piece credited to his ia
Gle pen. 1t contains more wit and
humor, more interesting and amusing
characters, and more ludicrous, yet
possible, complications and embarrass-
ments than half a dozen of his other
plays combined
