fMRs. EDWARD sHIELDs)

2 (MRS. EDWARD SHIELDS)
when the awful deluge, which ruined
and killed, beat down upon them. 1t
was an awful and terrifying night t,
with all in the house, watching with
intent eagerness the banks of the lit
tie river overflow, and silently and
steadily creep nearer and nearer to
the abode.
The following day there was no
cessation and as the water surround
ed the very dooryard of the three
houses on the eminence, all COM
munication with the outer world was
cut off, and it appeared as if succor
was Impossible.
Frantic attempts to convey mes
sages to the east and her husband
were unavailing, but Manager Shields
through his popularity in theatrical
circles managed to send a circuitous
message to friends and finally learn
ed that his wife was among those
who had been saved, yet almost
broken in nervous energy from the
experience through which she had
passed. It was but yesterday that her
first written message arrived to as
sure the east of her safety.
Born of fighting ancestry, tracing
back to Roger Sherman, of Connectt-
cut who signed the Declaration of
Independence, and whose descendants
were among the first to cross the
Alleghanies and sett1e~on the banks of
the Ohio river, where they have since
remained though flood has often raw
aged their pOssessi ons-Mrs. Shields,
or Sadie Sherman as she is known
upon the stage has overcome the
shock of her experiences and is ready
to continue her engagement in In
dianapolis.
This persistence is but the outcrop-
ping of the trait of another relative
of more recent times, none other than
the Industrious General Sherman, an
uncle with whom her own father rode
on his famous march from Atlanta
to the sea, and which has accorded
Mrs. Shields honorary membership in
many prominent revolutionary and
war societies throughout the country.
While the name of Sherman has
gained prominence one of the
proudest in American war annals, in
the marriage with Manager Shields,
Miss Sherman allied herself with the
descendant of another warrior, Gen
eral William Shields, the hero of
Chepultepec, of whom it was once
said that he was the only man with
temerity to challenge Abraham Lin
coin to a dual which for obvious rea-
sons never occurred.
Both Miss Sherman and Mr.. Shields
after his return to the United States
from the Philippines, where he had
acted as war correspondent, played
COSeJnef IN Layton ana the present
flooded districts and number many
acquaintance who have undergone
terrible agony during the last week.
1t has been intimated that the thea
tres in Indianapolis may close their
doors temporarily in which event the
talented actress may come to Bridge
port, and it has been suggested that
as a crowning feature of the Lyric
Benefit, this victim of the two disas-
tiers appear on that occasion. While
making no promise that such an op
portunity will present itself, Manager
Shields wishing to again be reunited
with his wife who has been absent
some months, today said he would use
every effort to aocede to the request.

"BOUGHT AND PAID FOR"
CONTRASTS MORAL WITH
LEGAL PHASE OF MARRIAGE

Bought and Paid For at the Park
theatre last evening portrayed the
moral versus the legal aspect of mar
riage, or, in other words the sacra-
ment of matrinony contrasted to the
marriage contract. Bought and Paid
For the title Of the play. is the
phrase used by the husband in a
drunken fury when he tries to tell the
wife whom he won while she was
earning ten dollars week that she
married for money and that he holds
title to what he buys. He repents
and asks forgiveness, when he can
realize what he has done, but she de-
mands promise of entire abstinence
from drink, which is refused.
The wife leaves, saying that she loves
him but cannot live and respect her
self under the conditions which his
occasional drunkenness imposes. Her
brother-in-Ia.w blames her for her step
and for the unfriend1y attitude of her
husband, his employer, which finally
ends in his losing employment
However the wife lives with her SIS
ter and this br>other-in-law in an up
town flat until the only brilliant idea

STRONG FEDERAL
FORCE NEEDED To
COPE WITH ZAPATA

Mexico City, April THE breaking
off of all negotiations for peace with
Hrniliano 1apata and his adherents
has forced the general government to
mobilize a strong force of troops to
undertake a campaign against the
rebels to the south of the Capitol.
This has been done in spite of the
fact that the rebel successes in the
north have made imperative the dis
patch OF a large part of the regu-
lar army to carry out operations in
that region.
The war department says that gov
eminent troops will begin moving, to-
day into those districts infested by
Zapataas followers and their concen-
tration will continue until army
of 10000 men has been gathered to-
esther which will include many or
sanized companies of former rebels.
1t is expected that General Pas
quaIe Orozco, Jr., and many of his
old chiefs will participate in the
southern campaign.
Press dispatches which arrived atSa
late hour from Huautla bring the
report that Paequale Orozco, Sr., was
not killed as was previously stated
but is kept closely guarded at HUI
aufIa in the same vicinity.
The followers of EniHano Zapata
have circulated many manifestos re-
pudiating the government of Provi-
sionaI President Victoriano Huerta
and also that of Felix Diaz if he
should be elected president and at
the same time calling for support of
the Zapata movement.

In Honor of Mark Twain.

Plans have been made for the dedi-
cation in August of a monument to
Mark Twain at Hannibal, Mo-, though
there has been some suggestion of a
postponment on account of a technically
connected with the state appropriation.
But whenever it takes place, it will be
an event coming home moro closely to
Americans than most literary anniver
Versaries
Other authors sought their heroes and
heroines in the gilded palaces of for
oign shore. amid the shadowy romance
of history, or in the glitter of the arts
tocracy. Ordinary life seemed to them
too dull and commonplace to furnish
enough material for good story.
Mark Twain had that supreme in
stinct that can see picturesque material
and dramatic elements in the every day
life lying at his door. While others
travelled the world in search of liter
airy Eldorado, he found the hidden gold
at his own feet.
He always celebrated the typical Am

common sense, energy, enterprise, good
humor. They never turned up their
trousers becuse it rained in London;
Nor did they go to dances at 10 p. m.
because that may be fashionable hour
in New York
Mark Twain won great audience by
those boisterons qualities of exagger-
ated humor wdich are typically Ameri-
can. His remark in speaking of the
peace given by religious faith, that he
had been often impressed by the conf
dence of the Christian when he held four
aces, was an aphorism that could never
bespoken by an Englishman, German,
or Frenchman. You find its parallel,
in an initiative degree, in every news
paper.
Twenty year ago Mark Twain was
regarded by the literary critics as one
who appealed merely to the desire for
temporary amusement. His books
were about like the comic paper that
you buy to read on the train, but never
take home. The pril8rimage of literary
notables that will be heading for Hani.
bal will show how the final estimate of
Mr.. Clemens has changed.
