INTERESTING STORY IN
1.-THE UNl0vED Wife"
Mondays Offering at the Washington
Theater Said To BE Particularly
Interesting TO Wives.

Almost every man believes he might
have married a great many women.
In his heart OF hearts he has an idea
that almost every woman who ever
smiled upon him, or blinked an inter-
ested eyelash at him, would only too
gladly have become his wife. And
when married, what then? In "The
Unloved Wife," the new dramatic sue
cess in three acts, which comes to the
Washington Theater Monday, matinee
and night. November 9Th, with matinee
for ladies only, Florence Edna May,
the authoress, chooses the woman's
side Of the story.
Too long has the finger Of scorn
been pointed at the helpless weaker
sex. But are women the weaker sex
Are they not the stronger sex? What
makes a man different after he's mar
ried? What causes every married
woman, at some time to think she Is
unloved? A woman is q woman, ant
really to know her fads and fancies 6
man must have been married to her
And then-does he know her?
Many OF these questions are enter
tainingly answered in the play, "Th'
/ Unloved Wife"

Four Boats
Destroyed
By Fire
Morning Star, Island Queen, Tacoma
Ind Chris Greene Together With
Two Wharves Destroyed by
Fire Mt Cincinnati.

the Ohio River in recent years de-
stroyed two excursion steamers and
two up-river packets at Cincinnati

coma and Chris Greene were tied to
the Greene line wharf. Neither of the
excursion boats had up steam.
No more spectacular fire has ever
been witnessed in Cincinnati. 1t was
like a huge bonfire. Thousands of
spectators lined the Ohio River banks
and the bridges.
Streams of water poured on the
flames by many engines of the Fire
Department, called on a ten-blow
alarm, were without effect.
The Tacoma had burned to the
waters edge short time after the
blaze communicated to it.
The fire started on the Morning
Star and spread with the speed of the
wind.
In few minutes it was attacking
the Island Queen.
Then it communicated to the wharf
OF the Coney Island Co., and the
Greene Line Co. wharf.
The whole river front was ablaze.
The loss is estimated at more than
100000.
The Island Queen and the Morning
Star were alone worth 100000, ac-
cording to officials of the Island Queen
company.
The Morning Star was a complete
wreck in Is minutes.
The. Island Queen. was sinking a
Nalf hour after the fire began.
The Tacoma and the Chris Green
