to be addicted to strong drink they
are now addicted to matrimony. Man
ayers are almost a unit in preferrfngs
married men. and baseball expert
ence tables would show that benedicts
as a, rule stay in the game longer
than bachelors. The same prefer
ence for domestic bliss has been man
Tested of late years by the top-notch-
ers among the boxers There is this
difference, however, that the diamond
stars are almost universally faithful,
while boxers are often tickle husbands.
Kid Mccoy probably holds the pugfl-
tstic long-distance matrimonial record,
havinv visited the altar no less than
eight times during his sentimental pill
grtmage.
Mike Don1in, the former Giant star
whose first wife was the late Mabel
Hite, the actress, is involved in an
other romance. Richard 'tRube' mar
GUARD, the Giant pitcher, and the hero
of an unconventional romance, has just
effected a settlement with Joseph
Kane, the former husband of Blossom
SeeIey, now Mrs Marquard and the
mother of Richard Vanguard, Jr. Mar
guard e4oped with Fhe former Mrs.
Kane, and they made a vaudeville
tour together. Kane secured a divorce
and sued the 1900 beauty for $780,
600 for alienation of his wife's affec-
lions. Tt is alleged that Marquard
effected a settlement for $1,000, the
amount of his share of worlds series
money.
In baseball, as in more prosaic occu-
pations, the old rule holds true that
it is not good for man to live alone.
Baseball players of today are very
different from those of a quarter of
a century ago. They are more gen.
tIemanIy, much more temperate, and
more efficient. The change may be
attributed to a variety of causes, but
not the least is the prevalence of :.
matrimony among the players.

fashioned love story, t'What Happen
ed to Mary which had its original

more than unusual interest to see the

care of such well known players as
Charles Miller, Mildred Morris, Alma

.arhe Beauty Parade,,


local Color is the title of the two
act musical farce 'eThe Beauty Pa
rade"- company will present at the
Park theatre, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. The principal foundations
of this piece are girls and ragtime,
with a little of everything else on
the side. While trifling as to plot,
it is nevertheless pleasing in a way
that an1uses without calling for the
slightest effort on the part of the
spectator. Harry Fields plays the
leading comedy role and comes forth
in flying coLors. Miss Lila Brennan,
the ingenue-soubrette has charm and
refinement and delicacy, and is de-
servedly awarded the putting over
of several of the best musical mum
bers. The Countess Rossi is the
prima donna. and the Misses Elsie
Meadows and Alberta Gilbert are very
acceptable in two really important
parts. There is, of course, a chorus.
1t is comprised of twenty girls VINO
and vivacity they possess in assisting
in the proper presentation of nearly
a score of popular song successes.

sisted by Mother and Father Conan
Such a combination could make any
thing a success in its biggest sense
In Broadway JONES' Mr.. Conan has

part, fits him wonderfully It is the

 AT GETTYSBURG

 A progressive scheme of military in- spection is being followed with the students, whcS are nearing the close of their second week here. Starting with the preliminary of patrol, the collegians were gradually advanced until the present stage was reached. and from now on many problems will be worked out in conjunction with the regular army detachments. The young men are rapidly becoming expert horsemen, taking hurdles with the skill of trained cavalry men and rid ing caissons over the rough old Elm n1ittsburg pike without a, culver.
 Rifle practice and map making take up a portion of the time, and, from reveiHe to taps, the boys are given hard work.

ADJ. GEN. lLEWElLYN
ARRANGES G. A. r. TRIP
Estimates That About 100, Of Gettys.
burg Veterans In State Will
Revisit Scene

Olympia, April 2S.-It has been
decided to have Adj. Gen. Llewellyn
of the national guard handle the ap-
plications of the veterans of the bat
: tie of Gettysburg in Washington
who will be taken back there for the
grand reunion on the scene of the
historic fight so years ago. The plan
of G. w. Clausen, state auditor, to
have the veterans travel from here
in special cars furnished by the rail-
roads meets with the approval of
Adjt. Gen. Llewellyn. He says that
the veterans should be assembled
and officers selected or have provid.
ed for them a commanding officer,
an adjutant, a quartermaster and a
commissary officer.
1t is estimated by Adjt. Gen.
Llewellyn that more than 100 veter.
ans will report for the trip. He says
that he has already 14O applications
of eligibles and these were secured
without official notice of any kind.
He thinks that there are about 200
Gettysburg veterans in Washington
and he estimates that probably half
of them will take advantage of the
fund of $4,000 appropriated by the
last legislature to take them back
to the famous battle-ground.
Judge j. c. Pearson of this city
is one of the survivors of that his
toric battle, and will attend the re-
union. Judge Pearson had intended
to attend at his own expense before
he had any idea the state would pay
the bill. Jacob Heater, who was in
the fight on the Confederate side,
also announces his intention of max
ing the trip, and doubtless others
will attend from Chehalis county.
