Miss Blank will play a very inferior part in the production, as the man- agement quotes feminine talent at a very low figure. The female roles in “Dewey’” have been intrusted to the tender care of Fred Batkins and Howard de Cour- cey. Batkins is the leading lady of the show. *“I play a Spanish girl,” ex- plained Batkins, “and as I wear a shawl over my head I won't even have to wear a wig.” Master Grover Magnin is to imper- sonate the hero of Manila, and has al- ready secured the blonde mustache which the boys declare makes his re- semblance to the great man perfect. Unfortunately for Magnin the play only permits of Dewey’s appearance in the ast act, and so the stage manager has taxed the youthful actor with two other small parts—that of a negro in DOV VHRSD OG0 & U & YO0 0P 00T DT NORO0 & U & DO TS TS DO U091 Fred Batkins. the first act and Captain Cook in the second.

Mr. Willis took the | articles to the Central police station, and Detectives Egan and Silva were ordered to make an investigation. The three letters are brief, and there are several things in them that lead to the suspicion that they are the work of some practical joker. Two | of them are ostensibly from the woman's husband. | The third letter is signed by | woman herself, and reads: the April 26, 1899, To the Public of San Francisco: This is | my last hour on earth, and I beg to inform | you why I have taken my life.

He thought that I was false, but I've been as falthful as a wife could be. 1 will take carbolic acid so that I will be sure that my life will be ended if 1 do not drown.

Yours in the hour of death. MRS. T. BOZZLE. The last letter was written in back- hand, but the formation of many of the letters was almost identical with those |'in the first two, and besides all three were written with Ink of the same quality and color. All three were in one envelope, ad- dressed “‘Mrs. Tom Bozzle, General De- | llvery, City, nd stamped 8 p. m., April | 25. It is singular that the man shouid write to his wife through the general de- | livery. Then there is that name ‘Mis | Skeeter” in the last letter that sounds | like a joke. But most suspicious is the | name and address of the alleged suicide's | mother, ““Mrs. Jones, 125 Tehama street.” | At that number there is a brewery, and | nobody on the street knows a Mrs. Jones. —e———— In the Divorce Court. Rose A. Willlams has been granted a divorce from Francis A. Williams, on the ground of habitual infemperance. Annie E. Dennis was granted a divorce yester- day from William J. W.
