WASHINGTON , Nov. 8. The United
States supreme court today affirmed the de
cision of the circuit court for California , re
fusing a writ of habeas corpus to William
Henry Theodora Durrani , under sentence of
death for the murder of Miss Ulanche Ln-
inant In San Francisco April , 1895. The
fflso has attracted attention throughout the
whole of the United States and today's de
cision pet mils the law to take Its course
with the condemned man. Chlof Justice-
Fuller announced the court's decision , but
made no remarks In doing so save to cite
o few authorities on which the court based
its decision ,
The decision of the court In the Durrani
casci WQH In response to the motion of At
torney General Fitzgerald entered last Mon
day to dismiss the case or ollirin the decision
of the court below , and of course relieve the
court from the necessity of deciding the case-
on UH merits on the 10th Innt. , as at first
arranged , The chief justice In rendering the
opinion of the court Indulged In no com
ment whatever beyond remarking Uiat the
order of iho circuit court was alllrmcd on the
authority of the decisions of the court In the
case uf Hurtado against California , vol. 110
of the nuprcmo court reports ; Nordstrom
against Washington , vol. 1G4 of these re
ports , end nf Cramer against Washington , re
cently decided.
Atlorney General Fitzgerald was present In
the court room when the opinion was ren
dered and said It would Insure Durrani's ex
ecution and was In all respects latlsfaclory
to Iho nUto.
The court Granted the motion of the stale
attorney general to advance the canes of Hill
and Cross , two men under sentence of death
In , California , flx'lng Hie date for their hear
ing on the first Monday of December.
DUUKANTS ATTOHN.EY NOTIFIED.
As soon as the opinion of the chief jus
tice was known Atlorney Fllzgcrald tele
graphed the fact to the attorney having
charge of the case and it will devolve upon
the Inttor officer to determine Just when
Durrant irtiall bo brought ibcforo the su
perior court at fian Francisco for resen-
lonce. It will not be necessary , Mr. Fitz
gerald says , to await the reception of formal
mandate o * the supreme court , wihlch usu
ally la nanded down In. about thirty days
from the time of the decision. This fact , he
nays was fully established In Iho Magulre
murder case , brought to the supreme court
from New York.
The attorney gereral further says that the
statutory rule of sixty days does not apply
In the case of roaentcnico of -murderer
and Durrant may be execulcd without de
lay. Durrant , he says , will bo duly sen
tenced and the time for the execution will
bo fixed by the superior court.
Mr. Fitzgerald would not express an opin
ion us to how soon ho thought the sentence'
would bo Imposed. Con-crnlng any other
legal steps by Durrani's counsel to secure
furlhcr delay In Iho cxecutlcon of the death
sentence , Mr. Fitzgerald said :
"The question of any further delay by fed
eral Intervention will rest solely with the
United Slates judges In California. They are ,
In my opinion , fully authorized by the de
cisions of the United States supreme court to
refuse nbsolulely to enterlaln or make any
other order upon a second , application for a
writ of habeas corpus In this case , for It has
been repeatedly held by that court that the
United Stales circuit and district courts may
In their discretion In cases of this character
refuse a state prisoner the remedy by habeas
corpus ami put him to his writ of error. "
NEWS AT SAN FRANCISCO.
SA'N ' FUANCTSCO , Nov. 8. The news that
the United States supreme court had decide * ]
not to Interfere with the execution of
Durrant spread quickly over the clly today
and crowds of Interested people read the
announcement eagerly from the newspaper
bulletin board. The decision of the supreme
court was not unexpected hero , and ap
parently only Durrant and his attorneys
scorned to have any hope that the murderer
would bo saved from the gallows. Warden
little of San Quentin , who Is in Wa hlnRloiy
wired the news to Acting Warden Edgar.
At 11 a. m. today Edgar liad not notified
Currant of his -fato and had not decided
when he would do so.
District Attorney 'Darnes ' , who conducted
the sensational trial , the result of which
wan the conviction of Durrant for the
murder of Minnie Williams , was much
pleased1 with the decision. Ho Is convinced
that Durrant committed the murders and
has chafed at the delay In carrying out the
sentence. Mr. Darnes eaid that Durrani
would not have to toe resentenced. Ho said
that all that was necessary would too for the
district attorney , when he received official
notice of the decision , to go Into court ami
ask for an order -proceed with the execu
tion and that a day Tie fixed , for It.
FIVE OTHER EXECUTIONS.
The decision of the supreme courl paves

Durrani's parents were notified this mornIng -
Ing of the court's decision and were dcealy
affected. Mrs. Durrant wept , but said thai
her son was Innocent and that she did no )
yet give up hope that ho would bo vlndlcalei
und his Innocence proved , District Attorney
names staled that the only tiling the at
torneys for Durrant could do now was to
appeal from the order of the supreme court
but that ho thought they would not try tills
as they were sure lo fall ,
Altori.oy Eugene Deuprey , of counsel for
, the condemned man , expressed considerable
, surprise when Informed that the case had
already been decided , as ho was under the
' Impression that It was to have been heard
on November 15. While ho said that he
was unable to gather from the Associated
Press bulletin , which was shown to him , the
full Import of the decision , he stated that
. in any event 'ho did not consider It final.

Some pcoplo go through lite upon n diet of
chops , steaks and roa t beef , varied with
mutton nnd liam , They don't know what
good thltigx tdcre arc In the world to eat ,
nnJ , to tell Iho truth , they would not cat the
things that many consider delicacies even If
they did know about < hem.
H Is highly probable , for Instance , that
there are people , say the New York Press ,
who have neven even heard of that delicacy ,
retist elephant's leg. No part ot the elephant
Is such good eating as the first Joint ot the
leg below the knee , when It ! properly pro-
ixired. A hole three feet deep ahould be dug
and filled with live coals. As soon as tiio
sides of Iho hold urc baked hard take out the
coals and put lu the elephant's- toot and Ihc
Joint. Then cover wllh dlrl , Ughlly packed ,
and build a blazing fire over It. The dish will
be cooked In three hours , when It can bo
dug Up , You will find a gelatinous mass ,
which Is excellent eating. Few restaurants
In this city keep It on the bill of fare , how
ever , nnd It Is dlfllcult to prepare It properly
at home.
Old Aplclus ot Home has lett us the recipe
For a dish which ho Invented and named a
"totrapharmacun , " You take a gamy pua-
cock , a freshly killed phtasaut , the udder
and hock of a wild sow , a nightingale , some
pieces of fat pork or other fat meat , the
hearts of chickens and the livers ot geese ,
some oysters , fruits to suit the taste , spices
and two or three kinds ot flavoring ? . These
Ingredients should bo baked In a dish with a
Ijrcad pudding spread over the lop. Night
ingales uro a llttlo scarce at this season of
the year , but any one wishing to have a
"letrapharmacon" for dinner cau gel most
ot thq other Ingredients at the market.
The Huns ot history were a pcoplo with
Ideas ot their own regarding food and the
way It should bo prepared. They had no
use for the dU-hcs ot the Romans , but used
to cat tholr meat raw , merely heating It by
carrying It for a while strapped on their
horses' backs under the saddles. To this
day the peasants on the Norwegian coast
are fond of a me.il of herring nnd sour milk.
When Thackery first nto an American
oysler ho said It seemed like eating raw
baby , and another distinguished lirltlsher ,
when Introduced by Daniel Webster lo lhal
glorious dish , clam chowder , s.ld : "I have
eaten worse things , but not often , not often , "
Gastronomic likes and dislikes are , after
all , mailers of place < ind lime. People who
have been In the far cast will never think a
curry complete unless It Is served with
"Bombay duck. " A Bombay duck Is a lltlle
dried fish , which adds mightily to the de
lights afforded , by a curry. They can be
bought generally at ono ot the big grocery
houses ot Now York. This house first im
ported the "Uoinbay duck" to satisfy the
appetiles of naval officers who had been , on
duly at Ihe China slatlon and longed for
"ducks" wllh curry.

In respect ot elevated railroad service , says
the Now York Sun , New York and Brooklyn
will stand far In advance not only of other
American cities , but of all American cities
lomblncd , for they will have 'logether ' 100
miles of elevated Hues , whereas the next
largest elevated railroad mileage , In Chicago
cage , IB only sixty-six. The street car mil
eage of the present city of New York Is
365 , of which one company , tho. Metropolitan
Traction , has 185 , Ihirty-flvo of which are
operated by cable or electric power. The
Third Avenue Hallroad company has flfty-
IIvo miles of surface lines , and the Union
Hallroad of the annexed district , sometimes
called the Huckleberry , has twenty-eight , The
railway system of Kings counly has 350 miles
exclusive of the elevated railroads and the
steam cars running Into and out ot Brooklyn.
There are 'thirty miles of djuble track and
eight miles of single track steam lines and
thlrly-flve miles of trolley ear lines on Stolen
Island , and If lo these totals bo added the
steam railway system In Now York , the Cen
tral , Harlem and New York and Northern ,
within the clly boundaries , a lotal of 1,000
miles of railroad mileage within the Greater
Now York U obtained , a mileage larger than
some European countries have and a mileage
remarkable In other respects , the number of
passengers carried being greater per mile
than In any other city of this country. Phila
delphia has -100 miles of utrcct railroad. Chicago
cage has nearly COO exclusive of the
prlmttlvti affair known as the Chi
cage Elevated. Bcflton has JB ( ) ' st'

TitNNlo of ii Doctor ivltli n Miiiiliu ; on
Slillilioanl.
"Whc.n I first hung out my shingle , " Mid
a prominent New York physician to a group
of friends , among them a Washington Star
rcporler , "I thought It would bo easy to
drum up a good practice. But I soon real
ized my mistake. IVUIents were few. I
didn't earn $10 the first month , and one day
when I felt very discouraged nnd was think
ing of giving up the study of the healing nrt
for a more lucrative commercial pursuit , I
met a friend. The latler was Iho agonl of a
line of transatlanllc sloamers , and on loll
ing him of my poor success as.a physician ,
ho offered me a ) poslllon ns surgeon on ona
of his ships. I accepted the berth , and , on
the evening of the third day at sea , I had
an experience with a madman which I shall
never , forget.
"Tho weather wias very stormy , and as 1 ,
In ccnsequence , had had hut little sleep the
two previous nights , I felt rather drowsy ,
and sat In a chair In my state room dozing.
Suddenly I was awakened by a tremendous
lurching of the vessel. Then I heard a loud
knocking at my door , and n tnll , strange and
very excllcd dark-fcalured man hurriedly
enlered my cabin. The man's acllons wcro
so peculiar lhat I jumped to my feet and
reached for a revolver , which lay on my
table. But I was too slow. The stranger
bad seized the weapon. I then asked Iho
man gruflly what ho wanted. Ho did not re
ply for some time , nnd then , after locking
the door and putting the key and my pistol
In ) his pocket , said :
" Tin not sick , doctor. I'vo como here , '
exposing a long knife from the sleeve of his
coat , 'by order of the captain to cut your
throat.1
"For a moment I looked the slranger In Iho
fare , nnd his wild , sleady slaro soon con
vinced mo that I had to dcnl with a mnd-
mnn.
"I am not a coward , yet even now the
thought of that moment makes me shudder.
There I was In a remote part of the ship
alone with a madman of twice my physical
strength , without a chance to escape or
means to give alarm , and being unarmed ,
entirely at his mercy. I therefore decided
that resistance would bo of the least service
to mo , and that apparent acquiescence would
bo best. All this quickly flashed through
my mind , and accordingly feigning the ut
most Indifference I could , I said :
" 'The captain's ' Borders must , of course , bo
obeyed , But can you do the deed quickly ? '
" 'Oh , yea , ' replied the madman , calmly
surveying the knife which ho held In hla
hand. 'I'm a butcher by trade and can do
the Job easily with this tool. '
"Here ho paused to examine with his
thumb the edge of the knife , which looked
rather blunt , and as he did so an Idea struck
me , and I remarked :
" 'Your knife does not seem to have a
very keen edge ; the trachea Is tough , you
know , nnd rather difficult to cut with such
a blunt instrument. '
"Tho madman now looked at mo with a
curioua expression , ns if trying to read my
thoughls , and then , after examining the
knife moro closely , seemed to think my sug-
gesllon a good one for he said :
" 'Yea , doclor , I think you are right. A
little sharpening will do no harm ; so If you
don't mind waiting I w'll ' go lo Ihe galley
and get the cook to help mo put an edge on
It with his grindstone.1
"This was exactly what I wanted , as , feel
ing sure he would not lock the door after
him , I thought my escape would be aaty.
'But ' picture my dismay when on his depar
ture , I discovered tbnt the door was locked as
securely as before.
"What was I to do ? I flung open the port
hole and shouted with all my mighl for as
sistance , but the fury of the gale was now
so great that all my efforts to make myaelf
heard were of noava11. - . Then In a frenzy of
despair I looked about for some weapon of
defense , but there was not so much as n
stick to bo found in my cabin. I put my
oar to HID keyhole , and , thinking I heard
fontslcps approaching , I Impulsively Ihrew
off my coal , went lo Iho furthest end of tha
room , nnd standing as defiantly as possible ,
resolved to fight -to Iho last.
"I remember then Ihe door bursllng open
nnd the enlry ot Iho madman , not alone , as
I expected , but securely pinioned and at
tended by two of the ship's crew in charge
of the second officer. The relief of the mo
ment was so great that It completely pros-
Iralcd me , and I fell in a faint lo the floor.
"Whon I came to my senses I learned Hiat
Iho peculiar and excited manner of the
maniac , the large knife In his possession
nnd his anxiety to sharpen it , drew suspicion
on him and Induced the officer to secure
and bring him 'to ' my cabin to ascertain hta
condition. Needless1 to say I pronounced the
man Insane , and ho was kept securely con
fined and watched day and night until Iho
ship arrived In Liverpool , where he was
handed over to the proper authorities. I re
turned to Now York on the rame vessel , but
never went to ea In the capacity of a sur
geon again. "

Mr. Dana was on his way down town to
the Sun office. When ho entered the car he
found the scats all occupied , and a goodly
number of passengers standing and holding
the straps. Mr. Dana did likewise. At the
slow-up at the next station the standing
passengers were Jostled somewhat , and , of
course , bumped against each other. Dana
bumped against the passenger next to him ,
and , being a philosopher , he retained his
loaning position , so that at the next stop he
would have a sate cushion. But before the
succeeding station was reached the passen
ger a young man upon whom he was leanIng -

said ;
"My dear air , had you your breakfast this

"Certainly , sir , " replied Dana. "Why ? "
"Please lean on It , then ! "
It Is needless say these persons who

The two prominent pmalm churches , the
First Presbyterian n'nd the lloth Eden Dap-
tlst , which arc at present without pastors ,
nro likely to bo without permanent ministers
for some weeks. Doth congregations Intend
to go slow about making appointments , In
order that they may gel the right sort of
men.
John C. Wharton , chairman of the pulpit
committee of the First Prcbbyterlnn church ,
said yesterday lfc.it It would Iti all - probability
ability bo three or four weeks before a call
would bo Issued by his congregation. No
steps have as ycl been taken toward the se
lection of any one and no namra are under
consideration. In the meanwhile the pulpit
will bo filled each Sunday by some one to
whom an invitation will be extended.
The chairman of the pulpit committee of
the Beth Eden Baptlsl church , Dr. 13. E.
\Vomcroloy , also saj-8 that no material
progress has been made In the direction of a
selection of a successor lor Dr. Everts. The
committee has requested from prominent
members of the church , Including President
Andrews of Hrown university , the names of
available ministers who arc likely to have
the necessary qualifications , and In response
lias received Ibe- names of n half dozen pros
pective candidates. These names will bo con
sidered at a meeting of the pulpit committee
: hls afternoon , but no action will be taken on
them.
Dr. Wormesley also elated that no minister
would bo called for some weeks at least. It
is the Intention to thoroughly Investigate the
abilities of each of the candidates before In
viting them to preach. When ho appears be
fore the congregation and the latter Is not
satisfied with the candidate , his name will
bo dropped and the committee will look for
some ono else. In the meanwhile the pulpit
will bo occupied each Sunday , the committee
liavlng a plentiful supply on hand. Dr. Stet
son of the DCS Molnes Bapllst college
preached yesterday.
AMUSEMENTS.
After an absence of moro than a year ,
Julia Marlowe , whoso coming Is always wel
comed , and whoso going leaves regret bo-
iilnd , returned to Omaha last nlghl , opening
a halt week's engagement at Boyd's with lior
now romantic play , "For Bonnie Prlnco
Charlie. "
As Is well known , the piece Is an adapta
tion by J. I. C. Clarke from the French of
Francois Coppee , and narrates a pathetic
Incident of the last' great Jacobite rising
which was crushed and scattered at Cul-
loden. The action ppcnsi In a klrkyard , where
the lukewarm mcnibqrs of a powerful clan
are represented as hntttag between two opin
ions and are finally Induced to declare for the
Stuart cause by the fiery oxhortalions of
old blind Angus , wh6' has made a vow of
poverty only lo be fulfilled when Charles
Edward Is sealed tin the throne of Scotland.
The first act movctf slowly , and Is apt to bo
voted tedious by auditors not familiar with
the Scotllsh character and hlslory. It Is
useful , however , and even Indispensable , in
showing the stern ' 6ml'single-hearted ' love of
country which actuated these Highland
patriots to give up their possessions , their
lives , and their honor. If 'need ' bo , for a name
and a principle. In the second act the spe
cial plot begins to unsold. Suspicion of the
'
bccinlo Jirlnco has entered the'mlnds of Hie
dour and God-fearing'chiefs. Ho Is comely
lo look upon , apparently brave , and beyond
a question eager for a crown. All very well ,
Lheso things , -but Is ho a leader whom united
Scotland can approve with the conscience as
well as uphold with the sword ? Vague
stories creep about , touching the wandering
of the people's Idol from the pecole's cause ,
and it is rumored lliat ho has led astray the
wife of one of those nobles whoso aid is so
essential to the success of his arms. Dis
affection Is rapidly spreading In the prince's
camp , and three of the chiefs , Including the
: msband of his partner In guilt , determine
.o surprise the prince's amour and learn who
the woman may be. This plot , fraught with
deadly danger to the Young Pretender's
hopes , Is overheard by Mary , the grand
daughter of Angus. In her the fierce flame
of patriotism which burns In every Highland
! ieart Is fed by a hopeless woman's love fur
: ho prince himself. Ho has noticed her in
the klrkyard , where hta triumphal entry
seconded old Angus' eloquence , and he has
dssed her upon the brow as she waved aloft
; ho flag of the Stuarts. And now he Is to
30 exposed , and when the chiefs learn who Is
with him -they will renounce him , and ho
will bo lost end Scolland will be lost for-
evermore. A purpose of tremendous Import
takes possession of her. She will reach the
secret rendezvous before the avenging chiefs ,
: hey will suppose her , a humble nuggar girl.
: o bo the prince's paramour and they will
remain true to the cause. She gives a cry ,
almost of Joy , and goes out , running , toward
the trystlng place.
The third act sees the sacrifice sublimely
consummated. Mary drinks to the bitter
dregs the cup of bhame and degradation. She ,
whoso pure soul shrinks even from the con
templation of cuch guilt In another , allows
the clansmen to believe her guilty of the
vilest Infamy , the while the cowering wretch
she has saved steals away In safety and
finally expiates her ilaon the field ofl Cul-
loden. Mary cannot bear , however , that her
grandfather stall think harshly of her and
tellj him ell , slllllng the rising tcmpeat of
his -wrath with the potent words : "For Scot-
! r.nd. "
Culloden. bis happened between the third
and fourth acts. The prince and Ma fol
lowers are hunted fugitives , with prices on
their heads , Charles Edward takes refuge
In a hut on the grounds of Lord Clanmorrls ,
who , accidentally Icarn'mg after his wife's
death what her relations had ibeon to the
prince , Is about to kill him , The fatal
elroko Is stayed , however , by Mary , who ,
faint and dying with privation and exojuro ;
and a broken heart , shows the Injured husband -
band ! that yet another sacrifice Is demanded
"for Scotland. " Then these two souls of
prince and peasant girl are brought Into con-
Irasling prominence for one moment ibeforo
the great ono takes Us flight to the place
of Its eternal reward nnd the Inflnllely small
and trivial erne vanishes away Inlo lifelong
exile ; and Iho final fiurlaln fall * upon Iho

prophet over the IfctOjOf Scotland as typified
by Mary's death , . ,
Mlsa Marlowe shows-decided growth since
fihe was last seen Jiece. Especially In that
time has there been n development of emo
tional power , which -would seem at last to
bo definitely added to this artlsfw many
other gifts of grade and charm. For com
pelling , yet restrained , force , U would be dlf. I
flcult to nttnc an actress now on the stage |
who can. excel the admirable work ot Mire i
Marlowe- the third act of the pUy now I
under discussion. Such heights are not often
reached by playwrights or players ; and the
certainty that this last tribute the ability
to portray p Mlcrt has been bestowed upon
ono who already had the rest , cannot but
give -pleasure to the multitudes of her ad
mirers and well wishers.
Many of Miss Marlowe's associate * ot for
mer seasons arc with her still. The names
and faces of Mrs. Woodward , Mr. Hoe , Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. l.angdon are among the
most familiar. None of them have much to
do In "For Uonnlo Prince Charlie. " eave
Mr. Mitchell , whoso Impersonation of Angus
Is entirely strong and convincing. The new
leading man , Mr. Kcndrlck , had small op
portunity In the part of Clanmorrls to show
what metal ho is made of , but a curiosity Is
already felt to sec him as Romeo.
The stage soMlngs , scenery , costumes , ac
cessory and Incidental music , and all the
details of an elaborate production -are ade
quate and worthy. "For Ilonnlo I'rlnco Char-
He" will bo repeated tonight and at the
matinee on Wednesday. The Omaha public
should not miss 'this ' opportunity ot seeing
a notable play notably presented. "Romeo
and Juliet" will be the bill on Wednesday
night , and the engagement will close with
"Ingomar" on Thursday.
A really excellent repertory company ,
bearing a banner with the device "A. Y.
Pearson , " opened a week's engagement at
'tho Crclghton last night , presenting that
favorite melodrama. "Tho White Squadron. "
The organization contains several mines of
recognized prominence and undoubted merit ,
and If It keeps up the standard raised last
nlghl will afford good entertainment
throughout 'tho ' week. A feature ot the per
formance Is the clever specialty of Renzo.
which must bo seen to be appreciated. "The
1'ollco Patrol" will bo the bill tonight.
Last evening at the '
Young Men's Chrls-
lUn association auditorium the Trinity ca
thedral quartet gave a concert for the benefit
of St. Paul's mission. The audience was
large and appreciative.
The work of the quartet was In the main
good , but not such as was rightfully to be
expected from Mrs. Cotton , Mies Uowcti and
Messrs. Wllklns and I.umbard. The singing
of English glees as they should bo sung Is
ojways the result of careful and protracted
rehearsal. No matlor how experienced Ihc
singers or how well they read Ihclr noles ,
there Is sure * to be a lack of unity nnd In
tention unless cveryi point Is determined and
agreed upon beforehand. Speaking ortho-
oplcally "gentle" Is not spelled "gentel , "
although In Ihe "Parting Kiss" such was
the pronunciation.
Mrs. Jussen-Donnelly , speaker , spoke twice
nnd much to the satlsfacllcn of a demon
strative minority of the audience. Her second
end number would have been Interesting but
for the fact lhat It wus done with "musical"
accompaniment which was so ponderous that
nothing else could be heard.
Mrs. Cotlon sang a Rucslan song , Ihc
"Sing , Smllo Slumber , " by Gounod , and the
"Invocation , " by d'Hardelot , with lasle and
expression. Her sweet , pure voice was es
pecially effecllvo In Gounod's beautiful sere
nade.

Walter Wllklns awoke last evening from
months of "Innocuous desuetude" and ap
peared once more as a soloist. He acted
11 little as If he were In n strange land , but
ho sang well cjid used his sotlo voce In a
most artistic manner.
Miss Sarah Uowen sang "Florlan's Song , "
by Godard , and Ihe "Gavolte , " from Mlgnon.
The first would have been moro effective If
the first two verses had been taken al a faster
tempo. The "Gavotte" was sung with a
clear , rich 'one and abundant life.
Jules Lumbard sang for a novelty the
"Three Fif-hers. " He sang It 'well and re
sponded with an encore.
Robert Ouscaden , violinist , played a "Sa-
terolla , " by Paplni , In a manner thai aroused
Inlenso enthusiasm in the audience. This
embryo artist needs1 but to persevere and he
will reach the top of the ladder one of these
days. His left hand Is wonderfully accurate
and as a general thing his bowing Is good.
His tone is full , but not as Intense as he
tries to make it. Temperament nnd enthusi
asm for Cuscaden were In abundance.
J. E. Butler played the accompaniments
in n satisfactory manner.
Edward E. Rice's latest spectacular pro
duction , "Tho Girl from Paris , " will follow
the Marlowe engagement at Boyd's next Fri
day and Saturday evenings and Saturday
matinee.
"The Woman lilack" "
- and "The Isle of
Champagne" are underlined for early ap
pearances at Omaha thealers.

John Welsh and Mary 'Dugan ' drove over
from Casa county , Iowa , yesterday afternoon ,
reaching town just about Ihe time of the
closing of the offices in the court house.
They at once proceeded to the office of
County Judge Baxter and applied to Chief
Cleric Nott for ft license to wed. They in
formed Mr. Nott that they had just fifteen
minutes to dally with him , and that they
were In a hurry , as a couple of irate fathers
were hot upon the trail in an endeavor to
try to prevent the tying of some matrimonial
menial bonds ,
The foregoing Information having been Im
parted to Mr. Notl , ho lustily prepared Ihe
necessary papers and sent Ihe couple on tholr
way rejoicing , In the meantime having given
the names of a doscn clergymen who are
experts in tying hymeneal knots.
Mary and John had not been gone ten min
utes before Father Welsh and Father Dugmi
drove up to the court house. The two men
bounded out ot their wagon like a foot ball
going over the homo goal and up the steps
they went at a pace that would make a
professional sprinter turn green with envy.
They bolted Into the office of the county
Judge and between breaths demanded to
know what had become of a young man
dressed In a corduroy cult and a young
young woman wearing a gown of "some soft
stuff that looked like mouselam ? " Nott
pointed to the wedding license register an.l
then opined that the hunS d ones "are one
before this time , as they have gone to find
a preacher. "
The two fathers concluded that the jig
was up and shook hands , Mr. Dugan re
marking : "Welsh. I guess It In Just as
well , John and Mary are of ago and have
been engaged thirteen years , and I see no
reason why wo should Interfere with the
match , an I guess It Is n love affair. "
Welsh agreed with his companion and the
two men went to the nearest liar , where
they liquidated , after which they returned to
their homes. The young pccvle will go as
soon as they learn that pcaco reigns lei thn
two homes which they left In such baste
yeaterday morning ,
