The Nashville men were also inCurley" ebted to two or three of their men for some long runs. Prominent these were Keller and White. thong Weather fine. weather was magnificent.

Peak Quarters Hankins Indergast G. Majors Mahon Kellar Happy Home Broken Up By the Sudden Appearance of Lawful Husband A happy home was molested in this city yesterday afternoon by the appearance of a long lost, but not divorced husband on the scene of the happy household, constituted of mother. father and a wee baby girl. It seems that the deserted husband accidentally discovered his unfaithful wife while on the street. He followed her to her home.

No little excitement was created when he entered the house and appeared before his wife and rival. It is said by the officers that a killing was narrowly averted by their prompt arrival. Father, mother, baby and husband were all taken to the police station by Officer John Bracken and an explanation of the romantic story was demanded by the authorities. The man who claimed 10 be the woman's lawful husband, was the first to tell his story. He said: woman is my wife.

We were lawfully married and lived together about two years when she ran away with that man there. It has been about a year since she deserted me for him, and I have not seen either The man expressed much anger 88 he spoke. The woman looked him straight in the face and said that he was not her husband; that she had never seen him before in her life until yesterday afternoon, and that he, pointing to the other man. is her husband: also that she intended to live with him until death separated them. The supposed second husband was the next to tell his story, He confessed and told the whole thing to Clerk McNamara, who patiently listened to the most romantic story of his whole police career.

The man acknowledged that the woman was the other man's wife, and that he had stolen her from him. When asked why he ran away with a man's lawful wife he said he did it because she wanted to go with him and because her husband mis. treated her. Those were his only reasons. He also stated that he would marry her if her husband would give her a divorce.

To this proposition her husband positively refused to consent. After the woman said that the man who claimed to be her husband was. and that she ran away with this other man beeause her husband mistreated her. She also asserted that she would have nothing more to do with him. The deserted and mistreated husband, seemingly with much regret, finally consented to give his run-away wife a divorce and never bother her again.

Tears as big 0.8 doughnuts came forth in the eyes of all, and especially Clerk McNamara's, who heard the sorrowful words of the unforunate husband. The husband also said that he did not care to make any charge at all against them. On this agreement Captain Cato and Clerk McNamara considered themselves out of the play and the parties were allowed to depart in peace. The principals were Mexicans and the husband lived at Lockhart. NEW YORK, Oct.

plays are now running in New York to miss seeing which would be a serious loss to anyone really interested in legitimate drama. The first of these in point of high art and dramatic quality is to be found at the Theatre Republic, where J. H. Stoddard has commenced his stellar career under such auspices as to justify the highest hopes of is friends. In selecting the role of Lachlan Campbell in "'The Bonnie Brier Bush" for his initial stellar attempt Mr.

Stoddard did one of the cleverest things that he has done in all his long and fortunate career. In the role of the sturdy, conscientious, old Highlander, Mr. Stoddard seems not to be acting at all, so completely and naturally does he drop into the environment of Dr. Watson's Drumtochty characters, Bonnie Brier Bush' is not a play based directly on the incidents in Ian Maclaren's book, the writers of the piece, Augustus Thomas and James McArthur, having used parts of the story and taken other 1 Drumtochty characters and incidents out of which to weave a charming medley of Scottish village life which can searcely, in the broad sense of the word, be called a play. It is more like an episode in family experience, of which Lachlan Campbell naturally forms the centre.

The idea has been to produce a series of pictures giving opportunity for displaying the peculiar features which characterize the writings of Dr. Watson rather than to conform 1 to the more exacting lines of stagecraft by producing a well constructed play. In this sense "The Bonnie Brier Bush' is open to criticism. The playwright will call its construction faulty and correctly so, but who goes to the theatre only to be moved by tears or laughter--to feel the touch of that genius which depicts life faithfully and feelingly in the mimic stage will not complain. They will have no word of criticism after having watched the piece through to a finish--not breathlessly, but with that calm enjoyment which springs from deepseated satisfaction.

The story of the play can be told in a paragraph. The opening scene is Scotch marriage between the daughter of Lachlan Campbell nad the son of a nobleman. When the ceremony is over Lachlan concludes that his daughter has been misled and disgraced. Then, after deep commuing, the stern old descendant of a covenanter expels his child from her home--drives her out--nameless into the worldand, not content with that piece of abominable cruelty, erases her name from the family Bible. Remorse of the most bitter kind follows and the old shepherd nightly places a candle in his window, hoping to guide the wanderer home.

Finally she returns, the marriage is announced, ratified and the reconciliation is made complete by the stern old Scotchman begging for his child's forgiveness. To say that "The Bonnie Brier Bush" abounds with ideality and that it is presented by an excellent cast will be enough. The second important feature of the present dramatic situation here is the excellently ideal work which Minnie Maddern Fisk is doing in her new play "Miranda of the Balcony" at the Manhattan theatre. Mrs. Fisk's porition as the leading American emotional actress has been greatly enhanced by the presentation of her new play and the transformation of the dingy littie theatre at Sixth Avenue and Thirty-third street into one of the most comfortable and handsome of playhouses New York gains another shrine henceforth to be devoted to the legitimate drama.

Mrs. Fisk has taken great pains to surround herself with a company in touch with her ideas in regard to acting and has succeeded admirably in the main. The noticeable feature of her own performance is the subdued or repressed emotion with which the treats her subject, a refining touch which typifies the highest realization of eramatic art. The play is from a novel by A. Er.

W. Mason and it was dramatized by Annie Crawford Flexner. The theme lends itself well to dramatic treatment. A woman with past in the shape of a blackguard husband, whom she believes dead. ventures back into society after a long voluntary retirement.

But Coffee Certainly Ruins Some of the Most Highly Organized People. year I lived where the water was bitter with iron and I could not bear to drink it, so I began drinking coffee three times a day. Gradually I noticed an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, and more or less constipation.

In a few months I began to lie awake at night long after I had retired. This increased until I never thought of going to sleep before three or four o'clock in the morning, and then only after getting out of bed and walking the floor for an hour. I was talking of my nervous state with a friend, who suggested that perhaps it was the coffee that I had been using. She felt quite sure it was, and stated that coffee would not stay on her stomach at all. but as she felt she must have a hot drink for breakfast.

she had been using Postum Food Coffee. She said she didn't like Postum particularly well, and at breakfast the next morning I didn't wonder, when I tasted the flat drink that the servant brought on. The same day I was invited to take dinner with another friend, Mrs. Foster. I had visited her often before and knew she made delicious coffee, so when she asked how I liked her coffee.

said. 'It is just as fine as She invited me to have another sup, but I said, 'I would not dare to drink the you can drink as many cups of this as you like, it won't hurt you. This is Postum Food Coffee. We have been using it a year now, and the little children have all they want and our family have never been healthy as in the past said I doubtfully, why the Postum I had this morning didn't taste any more like this than dish 'Perhaps it was not made said my friend, have known more than one person try be turned away from Potum because it was poorly made. There is no secret in it: only allow it to boil long enough to bring out the taste, and there you are.

I have been using Postum since, and am entirely cured of my trouble. I can not say too much for it." Grace A. Foster, Omaha, Neb. The heroine soon finds an afinity in the shape of a young engineer named Charnook. but has scarcely realized the happiness of a mutual infatuation before the fact confronts her that her worthless husband is living.

Then the blackmailer enters upon the scene and finally succeeds in exacting his nefarious tribute. The heroine silences her passion for the young engineer, but shows her increasing scorn at this new development of her husband's 's villainy. But the new suitor stays manfully by. He learns of the blackmailing and stops it; then with the consent of the woman he has learnt to love he goes to Morocco where the knavish husband has been made a slave and rescues him. That the wretch falls the vietim to an assassin's knife is not his fault but it permits of satisfactory denouement which would scarcely have been possible under any other circumstances.

The scenery used throughout 1s excellent and Mrs. Fisk's accomplishment in uplifting the romantic drama to the level of the highest dramatic will be chronicled as one of the most important events of the season. Forest Lovers' at the Lyceum is another of the distinct successes of the year. The play, which was based by A. 1 E.

Lancaster upon an entirely impossibile version by Clo Graves is one of the best book dramatizations that New York has yet seen. Miss Galland as Isoult and Mr. Stanford as Prosper head a very talented company and are giving theatre goers aL genuine treat. Mr. Hewlett's romance has been closely followed.

On the opening night the play was received with acclamation by a packed house, the curtain being raised about twenty-five times.
