At loast. she Mrs o, and gho ought to know, even if she did live iLh him leu than twenty-four hours. On the afternoon of March 20 Mrt. Coffey, 140 fiouth Twenty-second street, read In aa Omaha pappr that her truant bride groom bad run amuck with the police in the MldBourl rlty, and that he was being held (here -until his thirteen wives could fet tab on hlra. She, Mrs. Coffey, the paper said, was wife No. 13. The alleged portr.it the paper printed of him showed a auorcillous young roan with thin hair, pious nose turning toward beaven, rim less eyeglasses, a weak chin and a volun teer blonde mustache. It didn't look much like ber Christian, but then, she wasn't very well acquainted with Christian, the time vouchsafed her In which to study hi I'neaments having been so brief. Any how, it would be worth the price of a ticket to St. Joseph to lind out, she thought, so she bought the ticket. Heart a Traralng t arvrarad.

''Yea, but he couldn't have grown a head and a half In" a tnoatb and a half." This ended the-Interview, and the man with the comprehensive heart was led back to his cell. So It -will be seen that Mrs. Coffey, has ne hold on Nelson not even a half-Nelson bold. The Ircuoiitaneea of Mrs. Coffey's spec tacular courtshlD. marriage and desertion ore still fresh ia the public mind, since these events were compassed as recently last January. An advertisement in a matrimonial Journal was responsible for it all. McKawn advertised for wife; she answered the advertisement, aad tbey be came W.Kaed,, .Then. one' day he camo to Omaha, from aome town in Ohio to claim his bride. . It was one Friday.

The modes of burial, she ssld, were three In number. The first was to cut the body Into parts, another to scrape the flesh from the bones and the third to lay the body on Its left side, double up the legs, thrust the forearms out In front and place the hands over each other In front of the face. She told also of the ornaments usually placed on the body. Rev. Newton Mann and others entered Into a general discussion of the subject after the conclusion of the lecture. Amusements. At the floyd. Williams and Walker and their aggrega Hon proved magnetic enough Sunday after noon and evening to test the seating ca paclty of the Boyd theater to its fullest extent and likewise (be laughing propensity of those who occupied the seats. But few years ago this pair entered the dra matlc field and today they are perched comfortably on the top rung of the lartde of fame as colored entertainers. Bert Wil llama could make an Egyptian mumm laugh with his dry droll comedy, while George Walker is the black Chesterfield of the American stage. He wears swell clothes with the grace of a John Drew and Is not a bad singer In the bargain. The! vehicle, "The Sons of Ham," Is the sam in name as they offered here a aeason ago but by the addition of new music, new comedy and new specialties It has been brought thoroughly up to the minute and would not be recognized as the same piece, The new Bong, "My Little Zulu Babe," In the first act, by Williams and Walker, Is not only well sung, but cleverly presented avweU. The scene opens with a tropical setting and shows Mr. Walker In the cos tume of a FJulu princess. After the firs verse Mr. Williams enters In the guise of a Zulu warrior. A chorus of dusky Zulu maidens concealed behind palms make thel appearance opportunely and the general ef feet la decidedly pleasing. Miss Walker "Hannah from Savannah," with grotesque dance, won several rounda of applause, George Catlln's Chinese Impersonations were realistic. Mr. William's song, "The Phrenologist Coon," was a big hit, while Mr. Walker's "Elegant Darkey Dan" and "Leader of the Ball" won encores at both performances. All of the specialties are praiseworthy and the entertainment highly commendable throughout. At (he Orpheam. The entertainment offered at the Orpheum ior me present week has no expensive feature acts, but la bill, thoroughly clean In every respect and evrry act wortny or commendation for some one thing cr another. It would be un just to the others to say that any one of the seven oa the program made a greater hit with either the matinee or evening audience than soother. CnnaMora r.,..i from an artlstlo standpoint the musical act oi me nve ivosses is perhaps entitled to the distinction of belna- riven first manti. Their act is done In front of a special stage setting, snowing a Venetian scene.

The enmarfv .,. act of the three Blossoms also proves to be me peer or its kind In vaudeville. Louise Dresser, who Is considered the Lillian Rue sell of the vaudeville stag, offers a nov. city in the rendition of a burlesque Illus trated picture song. At both performances the audience was loath to let Mia. n.... leave the stage. Jack Not-worth has no equal as a monologue comedian. His stories are new and quite oriarlnal. whlla hi. r,.r odles are beyond comparison. He la doing nis act in white face this aeason, which adda to Its entertaining value. Jessie Coutboul tells stories and recites In such a pleasing manner that the audience la un able to get enough of her act, and laat nlrht she was forced t n mmrinnA Ia after encore until she was too fatigued to do anything more.

The Trocadero had an excellent attraction yesterday In the "Thoroughbred Burles- quers," who gave satisfaction at both per formances la a program that was thoroughly appreciated. The entertainment opened with the usual first part, In which the entire company par ticipated In songs, dialogue and specialties. In the olio are Ashley and Jeaa, song Il lustrators, The Frank sisters In several pop ular songs, assisted by a pickaninny, Mayer and Herrlngton with musical selec tions on different Instruments, McKay and Lawrence close the olio In a sketch called "The Scotch Pickaninny and the Lady Athlete." The program cloaea with a one act burlesque, called "Peeay Weesy,"- which Is Interpreted In an interesting manner by the entire company. Numerous songs and specialties being Introduced.

You have no Idea how many bleed ing hearts you heal, nor how many burdens you lighten each service. To attain ex cellence In singing one Is required to study and practice and work earnestly, but 1 would not have vou think that excellence In singing is all that Is nrcpsiarv In the world You should study to excel in reverence, in obedience to the commands of the Lord, and. aa the garments vou wear indicate that you are In the service of the Lord, you should strive to set an example for others and attain excellence In your l.v ing."

Thirty Miles Loss and Two Miles Wide, Defying Traffic. ST. PAIL, March 31 Transcontlnenta traffic by the northern routes continues to be blockaded. The Northern Pacific's effort to transfer passengers across the lake formed by the overflowing of the slougu ntar McKenile, N. D., have proven futile and but little hope Is held out for a re sumption of business In the near future, Reports from the Great Northern are to the effect that their transcontinental trains which have heretofore been able to get through with only a slight delay, are now held up by floods In the western portion of North Dakota. Just where the trouble la has not been definitely lesrned, but telegraphic report say that the Mouse river is out of its bank at Minot, on that line, and numerou bridges have been swept away. Tho Red river Is also at floodtlde at Grand Forks N. D., but so far as reported little damagi has been done there. situation Katremely Serious. The situation of the Northern Pacific I extremely serious. Reports from McKenile are to the effect that a lake thirty mile long and two miles wide has formed and the tracks are sixteen feet under water or perhaps entirely washed out. Efforts to transfer passengers across this lake have not been auccessful. The wind has been so high and the water so rough that much danger has attendtd the attempt to transfer passengers In small skifTs. A gasoline launch was put into service' yesterday, bfit even this larger craft was found inadequate. It is thoue'.i that an entirely new track will have to bo built around this gap in the road before traffic can once more be carried on. Passengers eastbound have been held at Bismarck and no westbound coast trains have been started from St. Taul. A train reached here this morning bearing a num ber of passengers who had been success fully ferried across the lake at McKenile and they report the situation there ex tremely bad. Fear a Food Famine. As no freight can be moved weaiwarA there Is some fear that a famine in fnni stuffs may result in Bismarck and its vicinity. Some of the Northern Pacific business has been transferred tn thn niir. lington at Billings, Mont., and in that way It Is hoped to open an avenue of communi cation with the north coast cltiee. The most optimistic of the railroad officials are Inclined to believe that it will be at least ten days before through traffic can be re established by the regular routs. A dispatch from Bismarck, N. D., re ceived late tonight aava that rallrnt nm clala there hope to have a train through some time tonight. Passengers, mall and baggage were today conveyed by wagon to a necK oi tne temporary lake and there ferried across with a gasoline launch. It was slow work in the teeth of a cold wind that blew snow and sleet in the faces of the passengers, but many were willing tn brave the discomforts of the elements in order to end the tedium of waiting. Ties, rails, etc., are being rushed to the lake and a temporary track will be constructed vith as much speed as possible. An Immense amount of fraiErht la ac cumulating at both ends of the washout and unless this Is quickly moved a great loss will be entailed on the railroad com pany in addition to that occasioned hv th. delay in traffic.
