Mercy against Miss Marion Talbot, dean
of women at the University of Chicago,

complainant's character.
Counsel for Miss Talbot contended In

Mercy had lied on the witness Rand and
ogled the Jurymen. Miss Mercy's attor
neys accused the opposing counsel f at
tempting to blacken the complainant's
character.
"I will show you, gentlemen, that this
woman lied while sha was on the wit
ness stand.' said Attorney salker,
speaking for the defense.
"How long do you think she would have
remained at the university It they had
known about Reynolds, her married
fiance? I say she would not have re
mained there a minute."

Bachelors' club, waa listed In the cat

Mr. Beaty. who owns an extensive
ranch in Grant county. 'was married to
Miss Delano, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. c. Delano of No. 101 Twelfth

The marriage was a complete sur
prise to alt. The young couple slipped
over to Newton. . where the ceremony
waa performed.
Not until Mr. Beaty arrived at New
Vlyssea with his bride two days later
did hla friends and the other members
of the Bachelors' club know that No. 1

When the club held Its annual ban

engaged In modelling a bust of the late
President McKlnley. Engaged In similar
work he has been In close association
with many famous men, both In this

he never met a mora kindly man than
Mr. McKlnley, and at the same time a
more dignified man.
"Only once," he said the other day,
'during my long stay at the White House

in the room two army officers, Mrs. Mc

'Presently we heard the band that was
leading the delegation. Mr. McKlnley

placed his hand upon his breast between
the buttons of his frock coat and was
ready to step out at a slgnsl to be given
him by one of the army officers when
all was ready.

iven with Shakespeare as the author
and Sothern and Marlowe and all their
excellent companions as actors in the
cast, "Taming of the Shrew," does not
become any more beautiful to contemp
late, nor attractive to listen to. Mr.
sothern has dons one service; he has
eliminated Tinker Sly, and the absurdity
of the opening scenes of the drama aa or
iginally produced. It might have been
Jolly good tun In Shakespeare's day for
a noble lord to pick up from his sleep In
the ditch a drunken tinker, take htm

him with at least the semblance of
wife, and then have enacted a play for
his amusement At present the noble
lord would la all likelihood be antlci
pated by the watchful policeman, and
Christopher Biy would find his rest at
the station house. In sny event, the
scenes that have to do with him are In
no sense needed for the action of the
farce, and so have been done away with,
hat Mr. Sothern can not get rid of Is the
fact that what remains of the original

either In comedy or philosophy. Were It
not for Kate's counsel to wives, beauti
fully spoken by Miss Marlowe last even
ing, It would be all but aimless. And
It will be a really brave man who will
go home to the partner of hla life and
Insist on thst platform being adopted.
Not In these days of militancy!
But the play is sanctified to some ex
tent by tradition; it Is the one avowed
farce by Its great author, and It has been
played by any number of clever and
gifted people, and perhaps will continue
to be so played, because of Its laughter,
producing qualities. It haa such ele
ments aa to arouse light merriment, and
with no appeal to deeper sentlmegt. It
affords an evening of amusement un
broken by problems of conduct, personal
or otherwise. , , .

feminine undesirables he freely mentions,
save that he takes his audience Into hla
confidence at times, and by a twinkle of
his eys or a nod of his head gives as
surance that he la all right, and Is ant

key, he doesn't relax an Instant to ths

It certain that when Katharine has been
properly "tamed," the will find aa de
voted and dutiful a spouse as sver blessed
woman's life; when Katherlne has bid
den the other wives to place their hands
under their husband's feet, Petruchlo sets
her foot on his hand, to show how per
fect is the partnership. This It the
most graceful and about the only gracious
thing Sothern'a Petruchlo does.
Miss Marlowe, whose name It more
closely associated with characters any
thing but shrewish; the ardent Juliet; the
gentle, wise and patient Portia, the ten
der Rosalind, the loving Viola, the duti
ful and devoted Ophelia the list Is as
long almost as the catalogue of the
Grecian thlps-ahs finds Katherlne some
thing of a problem; at times It seems aa
if she wanted to stop long enough to
have a good laugh with the folks out In
front over her efforts to appear suffi
ciently Ill-tempered and Intractable. Now
snd again she shows a rare burst of
temper. Just the sign that she was not
called In vain "Kate the cursed," but
when a chance Is offered sha lets the
sweet laughter hare its sway and shows
that smile that so becomes her. She Is
far more a source of deligbt as Ksth
erlne then Sothern la as Petruchlo.
Of the company and staging of the play
much might be written, and all In praise.
Mr. Bothera haa shown excellent Judg
ment in his plsnnlng of the eeenea aad
action, managing to keep the current
moving swiftly and providing a reason
