FIND IT HARD TO WED.

So far as can be aseertained no IL
cense was issued in Chicago on Tues
day for the marriage of Pasquale Mar
cheese and Pasqualian Desimone.
Friends of the bride and groom are de-
cidedly uncommunieative this morning
and it is just possible that they were
successful in being married. At the
suggestion of the Associated Charities
letters have been sent to the marriage
license officials in neighboring counties
in Illinois advising them of the fact
that Marchese has been licensed to
we'd the young woman here and that
the marriage ceremony has been held
up on account of the fact that a physi-
elan gave evidence that Marchese was
an epileptic. These letters have been
sent to many counties in Illinois and it
is thought that Marchese will find it
very difficult to marry in any of these
counties. His friends declare that he
viii return to Kenosha and that tho
marriage viii be celebrated here in
good time.

1.-THE PRINCE OF PILSEN.
Don't Miss It.

On Thursday night, Feb. 4th, at the
Rhode, the dear old musical comedy
The Prince of Pilsen," will be the
attraction.
Revivals are rarely successful. Press
and playgoers alike are forced to smile
at the "asides, - soliloquies, +" pathos
and loose technique that marked play,
player and playwright of fifteen years
ago. They interest only the champion
of the "good old days" who insists
there is nothing worth while in today.
Happily "The Prince of Pilsen" has
proved an exception to this rule. The
piece has been universally successful.
Probably this is due to the fact that
The Prince of Pilsen as not so old
fashioned after all. Certainly it con-
tains more music than half a dozen of
the average current musical comedies,
and there is enough comedy in the char
acter of Hans Wagner, the rich brewer
from "Zinzinnati who is mistaken for
Pilsen 3 Prince, to fiooc with laughter
the anemic plots of many presenile
libretto.
For the revival of this musical come
dy gem there has been assembled cast
of unusual ability, including John w.
Ransone in his original role of Hans
Wagner, Edward T. Mora as the real
Prince of Pilsen, G. Burke Scott, the
American Lieutenant, Eda Won Luke,
the firtatious city widow, Geraldine
De Rose, the chic French maid, Claudia
Rodgers, the demure ingenue, Regina
Richards, the Vassar College girl, Earl
McHafie, the priggish English Lord,
and number of other well known
players. A beauty chorus of generous
numbers will add physical and vocal
charms to the other attractions of the
tuneful comedy, and special orchestra
under the skillful direction Of Victor
Clark will interpret the delicious score
The scenery, costumes and effects are
entirely new this season. advdw

COUNTERFEIT QUARTERS HERE
Imitation. Money That Would Pass a
Bank Circulating in Kenosha.

If you are fortunate enough to have
a quarter in your pocket take look at
it. Maybe you have been stung. SHOW
ers of the queer worked in Kenosha
Monday and Tuesday and they put into
circulation a bunch of F'silver quart
ers" which are declared to be the best
imitation of real money that was ever
pushed into till in Kenosha. But don #
bite into it. If you do you will find that
the beautiful new money which has ev-
cry appearance of being the real coin of
the realm is as soft as putty. The coun-
terfeits were evidently made by experts
from new dies. All of them are lust as
bright and shiney as if they had just
left the mint. The ring Of the coins is
even deceptive and there is no doubt
but that the men in charge of the circu-
lation of them had no trouble keeping
them moving. Most of them were put
over the counters of saloons and cigar
stores. One of them was taken to the
bank this morning and the men in
charge admitted that it would "get by
them without question:

MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE
PATCH" NEXT SUNDAY.

Among book plays "Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage which returns to the
Rhode Sunday, matinee and night, Feb.
7th, seems to have the most super
abundant vitality From the first the
dramatization of Mrs. Rice s two pop
ular stories, Mrs. Wiggs'' and
Lovey Mary met with degree of
public favor more enthusiastic if any
thing than that awarded those chest
selling novels' Of low life in mean
streets. In Mrs. Wigs herself, Mis-
Hazy, Lovey Mary and. Mr.. Stubbins,
the play presents four salient types,
each one of which remains firmly fixed
in the most pleasant recollections of
the playgoer.
Strong as the roles, the play has been
even more richly cast. Grace Leith
Hodgkins has scored the greatest
triumph of her life in the title role.
1t will in all probability be her crown
ing success, for the public seems disin-
clned to let her leave the cabbage
patch, where she makes folks laugh SO
heartily.
A very close second for popularity is
the Mis- Hazy of Helen Alexander who
specializes in old maid types, and in
the forlorn and lugubrious spinster of
the play has evolved something new
and likable IN the psychology of the
unmarried. Mis- Hazy marries Mr.. Stub
bins and then her troubles as well as
her happiness begins. There are TWEEN
ty other character parts in the play,
and Cuby, the fit horse" is promin-
ent in the cast, though little broken
in the wind.
"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch =
comes to this city from triumphant
tour on which it was hailed as the
American genre play par excellence.
Mrs. Flexner, the dramatist, has added
some new comedy to the play, which
has improved with travel, despite its
original excellence.
The play will be presented here un-
der the management of the United Play
Company. Seats on sale. Prices, ma

Of these, 100 are sixth grade, ITO are
seventh grade, and 81 are eighth
grade pupils.
The increase in the number desiring
this work made it necessary for the
school board to have some assistance
for Miss Callaghan, the regular teach
er of elementary cooking. Miss Doro-
thy Adams has served as this assistant
and has had classes at the Weiskopf
and Frank.
The cost Of this branch Of education
to the city, is very small compared
with the benefit to the homes, present
and. future, which this expenditure is
sure to bring. The facts are these:
Total number of different pupils
taught, 403; total number Of lessons
given all classes, 354; average number
attending each lesson, IS; total cost
of material used in these cooking les
sons, $74.26; average cost per lesson
for sixteen pupils, 21c; average cost
per lesson per pupil, .01 $40.
This means that it has cost the city
an average of one and three-tenths
cents for the cooking material used by
q girl in taking one cooking lesson.
Of course, when girl is taught to
make hamburger steak, she doesn It
make very large supply, or when she
is taught to make bread from start to
finish, the loaves are not even as large
as the present five center; but the
type is set up and that is all the school
can do. Understanding the principles
of cooking involved land getting the
recipe for the small amount, the girl
has only to perform problem in null
IMPLICATION to increase this two, three
or more times or to the needs of the
family.
The course in cooking begins in the
sixth grade and progresses for three
years, so that by the time girl COM
pletes the eighth grade, she has been
taught how to cook all the articles of
food that are needed in any home.
1t is the purpose of this work to
teach girl before she completes the
eighth grade, how to prepare the three
meals of the day, breakfast, dinner
and supper or breakfast, lunch and
dinner, and to do this economically and
according to the highest standards of
the cooking art.
1t is very gratifying to all those who
are interested in promoting this branch
of public school work, to learn that in
many homes, the girls are encouraged
to apply at once what they have learn
ed in school.
1t is not to be expected that the
mothers ways and the ways taught in
the school will exactly coincide, but
until a girl has had an opportunity to
show what she can do, it will not be
known which are the better ways.
