THE CREOLE.
Miss Lillian Spencer and Her Company
Make a Successful Debut.
When "L’Article 47” was first produced in
Paris it was one of the successes of its day.
Being of a highly sensational character
mounted superbly and supported by society
actors i* could hardly be otherwise. The ver-
sion of that drama as played by the Lilian
Spencer company in Turner Hall last night
under the title of “The Creole.” lost consid-
erably by translation as most French plays do
and the absence of suitable scenery nlaeed it
at disadvantage. But for all this it was
pleasing.
Miss Spencer played last night under disad-
vantageous circumstances. Siie had a severe
cold and was hoarse from which cause her
impassioned declamations were at times dis-
cordant and as she was fatigued by travel
there was a slight deterioration of the chic for
which she is noted. But from the first to last
none could doubt that she was a meritorious
artiste. The scene w ith Duhamel in which she
enjoins him to meet her in seven days under
penalty ot exposure and the last scene were
in themselves sutiiyient to prove this.
Mr. T. F. Egbert played “George Dubainel”
caretuily but he him not the calibre tor a sue-
cessful portrayal of such a character. The
“Marselle” ot Miss Kute Ten Eyck was pass-
able.
• H the remainder of the characters little can
be said beyond that they were fairly filled.
Neither the play nor the company is beyond
mediocre but it can lie safely asserted that the
performance was enjoyable.

A (HANCE FOR A SARDOU.
A Thrilling Romance in Which Appear*
Oue Woman Fainting ami Another
Dropping Deail.
Mrs. Waddingliaui Thought Her First
Hunbaud Dead But he Turns Up
A live and Well.
A Sardou would find in St Louis ground-
work for one of the most thrilling episodes
which could be put on the mimic stage. On
September 25 1845 Baulina Hulett was mar-
ried to Charles R. Gavin in Detroit Mich.
He was about of age and she four years
younger. He wandered East some two years
later and was next heard of in Auburn N. Y.
having been sentenced to three years for
grand larceny. Meantime his wife was said
to have acquired low associations and upon
his release he went West and eventually served
a short term in the Ohio penitentiary for coun-
terfeiting. After that—in 1853 —his family
in Detroit heard no more of him. About this
time Mrs. Hulett was living in St. Louis and
on August 20 1853 she became the wife of
William Waddingham under the alleged sup-
position that death had divorced her iroin her
first husband. In less than a year he left her
on the plea that her repute was not entirely
satisfactory. Mrs. Waddingham then went to
Poultney Vt. and for over 20 years received
$lOO per month
FROM HER HUSBAND
who is worth from $300000 to $400000.
Not long ago he removed from St. Louis to
Mexico Mo and shortly afterward discovered
by accident that his wile’s first husband was
living. He procured depositions from Poult-
ney which were damaging to her reputation
and still others from Detroit establishing her
inairiage to Gavin. Suit for divorce was
accordingly instituted by Mr. Waddingham a
few days ago and his wife came on from Ver-
mont. She denied the allegations and said
that she was never Gavin’s wife but that a
cousin who greatly resembled her named
Martha Jane Hashing was the one who mar-
ried Gavin.
Depositions were to be taken at an attor-
ney’s office. As the woman and her lawyer
entered a strange man with his hands behind
him who stood up against the wall facing ’he
door looked steadily at her. He saw a well-
preserved woman of over 50 of a good figure
tastefully dressed and with a smile of assur-
ance on her face. It died away however as
she stopped suddenly and looked at him as
THOUGH SHE HAD SEEN A GHOST.
A pallor spread over her features the eyes
dilated the muscles about her mouth began
to twitch she threw up her hands despair-
ingly ’crying in frantic accents “Charles!
Charles! Charles!” and staggering a few steps
fell on the carpet in a hysterical fit. The man
betrayed no signs of recognition and neither
spoke nor moved while the others hastened
to pick her up and throw water in her face.
Upon being revived she looked quickly about
at the stranger and whispered fearfully: “I
thought he was dead.” Still he did not
move. The woman who had been his wife
over 30 years before was nothing to him now.
Charles Gavin had come to St. Louis from
Shreveport La. where Waddingham’s exten-
sively circulated advertisements for him had
at last come to his notice for no other pur-
pose than to serve the plaintiff and prove the
defendant’s testimony to be false. Whatever
tenderness he had once felt for her had long
ago turned to indifference and probably the
memory of hisjmisdeeds had too much of her
influence connected with them to make her
appearance after over a quarter of a century
anything but a pleasant one to the man she
had
EVIDENTLY WISHED TO FORGET.
“That’s her” was all he said as they led her
out and then he testified briefly as to their
marriage and that no divorce had
ever been sought by either.
He was cross-examined the following day
and Waddingham’s marriage to the defendant
was clearly proved null and void. That even-
ing however he was taken to Detroit to be
identified by his own mother. The latter had
been married again to a Mr. Marsh and was
living at No. 101 Catharine street being very
feeble and in her 85th year. A short time ago
she lost her favorite son Knox Gavin a law-
yer in Detroit and she had believed her son
Charles dead for many years. When the two
visitors called at her house the ser-
vant ushered them into the room where the old
lady was seated. She arose to receive them
but at the same moment she recognized her
lost son and screaming out his name dropped
dead at his feet.
Thus practically ends the story of one of the
most remarkable divorce suits on record.
COLONEL TOM. OCHILTREE.
The Balance of an Account Against Him
uh a Uuiteil States Marshal.
From the National Republican
It is true that Colonel Ochiltree who is the
member of Congress elect from the Galveston
district Texas has a judgment against him of
some thousands of dollars being the balance
of an account against him as a United States
marshal. This is explained by him as the result
of Irregularities of sub' rdinates.and the neces-
sary expenditure of money in troublesome
times for government account which was d's
allowed upon the technical objection that it
had not been authorized in advance. The
ma ter is being treated in certain newsoapeis
as the uncovering of a great secret. The suit
agsinst him was not confidential; nor was the
judgment. The subject was fully presented
before the people on both sides during the
canvass last fall and the result was a vote of
1 Ten Cents a Week.
popular confidence for Colonel Ochiltree be
ing a reversal of some 4000 Bourbon major-
ity. No charge of dishonesty has been laid
at his door and the discussion of it at this
time is sure to be understood as a small piece
of political 'persecution. The judgment is
valid. The debtor is unable now to pay. As
to the respective rights of the government and
the member from Galveston to the salary
which will accrue to the latter on the sth of
March the Treasury Department may be
safely trusted to deal with it under the law.
It would seem to be a mere matter of busi-
ness and will no doubt be treated accord-
ingly by both parties.

01.11 TIME STAGE CRITICISM.
The Effusion of a Newspaper Writer Thirty
Years Ago.
The following is reproduced from the Illus-
trated London News of December 24 1853
to show theatre habitues how art critics went
into decorous ecstacics in the first jmit of the
present century:
“Mademoiselle Georges the beautiful the
gifted the beloved the admired the cele-
brated who fifty years ago made her debut at
the Theatre Francais who turned all heads
and all hearts from Napoleon's to those of
the poorest ouvrier who could scrape together
a sufficient sum to obtain the worst place in
the theatie. * * *
“She has saved from the ravages of time
the grand outline of her noble head—eyes
made to sparkle through the mask of Melpo-
mene shoulders of unchangeable marble a
neck of sculptured energy and hands'ex-
quisite for delicacy and grace. She played
the character of Cleopatra according to the.
triumphant and magnificent manner of the
ancient school of tragedy royally grandly
solemnly majestically and slowly. Iler voice
is enfeebled but is still very expressive. She
was overwhelmed with flowers applause and
enthusiasm. It was a sad evening neverthe-
less. One of the great voices of tragedy was
heard for the last time ; a great genius entered
into eternal silence; the shade of a greai
beauty appeared for the fast time in an age
the old men of which she had dazzled in dieir
yo M tfi hy the splendor of hci genim and
beauty. ”
