Separation Ends Union of First
Massachusetts Couple.
Health Certificates Were First Class,
But Both Husband and Wife Neg

Boston.-While health may be the
keynote OF the eagenic marriage,
there is no provision which insures the
contracting persons against discord
and dissension, is the deduction Of the

Two months and half ago Rev. c.

time on he would not marry couples
unless they produced certificates as
TO their physical fitness and good

Five weeks later Edwin Perron and
Cathe rine Wills were married at his
home after they had satisfied him
that they had each passed the physi-

The marriage was heralded as the
first along the line of eugenics that
had taken place in Massachusetts, If

EARLY BEGINNINGS
OF GOOD ROADS WORK

when some progressive antedlu-
Wan shocked his contemporaries by
bringing his game to camp on a
horse, the good roads movement was
inaugurated," says E. +. Ayres, high
way engineer, in bulletin No. G7 Of
the extension series of the Oregon
Agricultural College. Had he shown
proper respect for precedent he would
have shouldered his load, although
custom sanctioned the use of rude
boats in case he was fortunate enough
TO be near a stream.
"Other members Of the tribe soon
appreciated the many advantages Of
the new method, and well-defined
trails were opened through the Wild
erness These were laid out by the
animals themselves, the only assist
ance rendered by their drivers being
the occasional removal of tree which
fell across the path.
mo further progress was made
until the advent Of wheeled vehicles.
These required a wider path, and the
trail began remotely TO resemble n
road, No attention was paid to prop
er location, grades or drainage, but
even the slight amount of work re-
Quired was bitterly opposed by the
owners OF the pack teams, who fore

Fine Musical
Comedy at the
Grand Monday

Florence Webber, an American pri-
ma donna soprano, whose remarkable
voice was recently discovered by Os-
car HammCrstein, heads a company of
sixty who are announced to present
Naughty Marietta in this city. Miss
Webber is now in her second year in
the role Of Naughty Marietta and has
been a phenomenal success in the part.
Her voice is permitted splendid and
varied opportunities for its fullest dis
play with the glorious music supplied
by Victor Herbert, the composer and
her histrlonic ability which marks her
as a comedienne Of brilliant power
and expression is given the advantage
of fine characterization as conceived
by Rida johnson Young, the authoress
The part of Marietta is that of little
French countess, who runs away from
her convent and joins a ship load of
maidens being sent out to New Orleans
in 1880 as wives for the soldiers. In
America, she becomes the object of at
tention Of the son of the Lieutenant
governor, who in reality is a famous
pirate. AS such, he receives the Off
clal protection of his father, who is
practically in league with the son in
spite of his high official position. His
attention to Marietta are not appreci-
ated by the young lady, as she has be-
come enamored Of a young American,
a captain Of the forest rangers, who Is
a woman hater. These three charac-
ters form n triangle on which q pow
erful romantic and at times, very
amusing story is built. Marietta, to
escape the attention Of the pirate chief
and to win the love of her American
captain, assumes various disguises;
being seen as street singer, an ac-
tress and plebian little lady, but in
the end, he aids the capture Of the
pirate and the overthrow of his schem-
ing father as well as winning the love
of the confirmed woman hater, after
which she discloses her real identity.
1t can readily be seen that on such a
frame work, writer of the splendid
ability Of Mrs, Young could build a
play such as Naughty Marietta" has
proven to be. And the locality of the
story-in old Louisiana, more than
century and half ago-permitted |
Victor Herbert to write unique and
characteristic music. His solos, duets, |
trios, quartets and ensembles are
brmful of melodious gems, in fact, he |
and other competent judges consider
the music for Naughty Marietta" to
be the most fascinating as well as the
best from a musical standpoint which
he has ever supplied for comic
opera.
