CANNONGIYEN DIVORCE Aiki Former Name Baok in Her Pe tition, but Deoree Does Not Mention It. SHE IS GIVEN SOME ALIMONY Maude Adams to Play "Phoebe of the Ringlets" Again Miss Maude Adam come to the Bran del theater for an engagement of two day beginning Monday, May S. Miss Adams has decided 40 present Barrie s comedy, "Quality Street." throughout her weatern tour. Thta play was originally given Immediately after "The Little 'Minister." It haa alwaya been referred to as one of the . actress' .biggest suc cesses, and many people who did not have an opportunity of viewing the work when first given have been hopeful that Mlsa Adam would revive it- This ah ha don thl season and the work la enjoying even greater popularity than it did when It was first presented. The role enacted by Mies Adams In the comedy Is that of Phoebe- Throssell, and she Is one of the most charming of sll the Barvle heroines. Citizen are urged to put forth a special effort today and Saturday to clean their yards and alleys. Be ginning next Monday, the wagons ol the city street maintenance depart ment will collect this material with out charge to householders. The free collection will be re stricted to such rubbish as may ordi narily be raked up In yards, but will inot Include ashes, garbage or general household rubbish. The thought is that householders who throw dis carded articles ot.wear or such large articles as old gasoline stoves Into these heaps need not expect to have the material hauled away by the city free of charge. Ashes Not Moved. On the other hand, It Is explained that the collectors will not draw th lire) too closely. If there i an old pair of hoe or a tin can or two In the heap of rub bish no objection will be made. But ashes will not be removed on this oocaslon. Householders are expected to have their ashes and discarded perambulator and other articles hauled away by men who make thla a business. Health Commissioner Connell Is eo-op- eratlng In this campaign by directing his inspectors to serve notloes In case where householders have allowed unsanitary ac cumulations of rubbish In their yard or alley. In such case removal la made compulsory and come within the proV' Ir.c of th health department. Let Children Help.
