Old Time Favorite Will
Star in 'The Man \u25a0
of the Hour**
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM— FREDERICK PERRY,
CONSTANCE WINDOM AND DENNIS O'SUL
LIVAN. WHO WILL ENTERTAIN THEATER
GOERS NEXT WEEK.
Frederick Perry, who plays the part
of the mayor In "The Man of the Hour"
next week at the Van Ness theater, was
an actor of "character" roles before he
joined the Brady-Grißmer forces, and
it is said he had a hard fight to con
vince those astute managers that he
could do justice to the leading figure
in the Broadhurst drama, because of
its "straightness." However, he was
given the opportunity, and ' "made
good" so absolutely that the New Yor^
critics pronounced him the actor of the
hour in "The Man of the Hour."
During his ten years on the stage
Mr. Perry has at different times played
Important parts In support of Modjeska,
Mrs, Leslie Carter, Eleanor Robson,
Mrs. Patrick Campbell and other lum
inaries.
I Constance "Windom, who appears with
Fred Ray next week at the Orpheum
in "A Roman Travesty," is said to be
a c!ever and attractive young actress
| who is eminently fitted for the bur
lesque tragedy which Mr. Ray is to
present. Lou Benton, a capable comed
ian, it also In the company.
Other new Orpheum features to open
at the Sunday matinee are Ferreros,
a music making clown with an edu
cated poodle; Emil Subers, a blackface
monologist, and Mile. Martha,- a
trapeze performer. Among the hold
overs will be "Peaches," the George V.
Hobart sketch that has made such a
tremendous hit.
Denis O'Sulllvan, who is to succeed
Herbert Kelcey and Effie Shannon in
stock stardom at tbe Alcazar theater,
opens his three weeks' season next
Monday evening. His first offering
will be "Arrah-na-Pogue." which is to
be followed by "Peggy Machree" and
"The Shaughraun."
Folk who remember Dion Boucicault
as Shaun In "Arrah-na-Pogue" pro
aounce Mr. O'Sullivan his equal In the
acting of the roguish character and his
superior in the singing of it. San
Francisco knows just how appealing is
Denis O'Sullivan's voice when it Is
heard in the favorite old Irish melodies,
a number of which he will sing, as
Shaun. His supporting company will
be the pick of the Alcazar corps.
Herschel Mayall and the other mem
bers of Ernest Howell's coterie <*f
players are drawing good business to
the Central theater by their vigorous
acting of "Big Hearted Jim," a west
ern melodrama of more than ordinary
merit. Next week they will jump from
Montana to New York and show their
quality in "Broadway After Dark,"
which Is promised an elaborate ecenlc
production.

STATEMENT BY COPPS
Deputy National President. Copps
gave out the following statement last
nlghr.
We are getting down to buslne»s, committees
of *H natures being duly appointed to perform
their duties la connection with the fight now
being TTttged. Our work will be bu«inesjUke
and peaceable and oar side of tbe battle con
ducted In an orderly manner. Our men md
women ere securing positions rapidly in other
lines and tbe railroads already are giving em
ployment to those who have left the Western
Union and Postal companies. Several firms wlio
employ operators privately hare communicated
with us, »aylng that they desired their oper
ators to be members of the union and also
signified tbelr TrilHngness ' to agree to the pro
posed schedule of wages and honrs. We are
recelTlns assurances from many other labor
organizations of their full financial end moral
support and are simply getting down to routine
work. Both companies are In a t er worse con
dition than they were during the recent trouble
and the mall or "suit case" routs- csn now
avail them nothing. Tbe public is learning
gradually that for years the people have Ix^en
given little or nothing for the amount of mon<*y
they have paid and ara. already studying condi
tions In other countries' where telegraph tolls
are much less and the «errlcc much more satis
factory under governmental supervision and con
trol than is the case In the United States.
On« of tbe alms of our organization Is tp
better the telegraph service for the public..
From years of experience we know the unsatis
factory methods now used by both companies Jn
handling the business oi the public, and while
this strike Is on — and It. ls lamentable that the
public must again suffer— it should be Investi
gated carefully by the- public, and also \u25a0 the
public should Interest Itself more and know
more of the great telegraph system which car
ries the "fast mall -p* 811." Two corporations
have been for years handling the. "fast Mail'!
without the slightest regard for their patrons or
for I their employes and would only take ' the
patrons' complaints Into consideration when ab
solutely forced to do so by court procedure.
Therefore, the far seeing businessmen already
are studying the situation and conditions that
• they may know more about tbe public utilities
which so far have escaped ; their attention.'

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 4.— At the close
of the third day of the telegraphers'
strike In; New York there : were ' few
actual developments* or tangible facts
to indicate whether the telegraph com
panies or the union had gained ground.

of the Western; Union; company ta; in

While that . charge ' was < denied in "^ a

that he has sent to all telegraph supftr-

with the' Western Union telegraph
company requiring their employes to

all employes of the railroad to remain
neutral. - ,
"Our fight, of course, is not with the
order of railway telegraphers,' but we
have contracts with the railroads con
cerning the transmission of our mes
sages and we shall insist that the rail
roads live up to these contracts."
I Reports from Chicago and elsewhere
that boards of trade were appealing to
President Roosevelt to - take a hand
caused much discussion of what might
be the result If federal interference
should follow. So far as the Western
Union was concerned, Mr. Brooks said
he could see no reason why the federal
government should interfere. The
Western Union, he said, was under cer
tain control of the government. Inas
much as it had a ; contract with the
government, but it was living up to its
obligations In every way.

Fourteen Year Old Boy Cor

ful Story
Josep Oard. formerly a farmer of
"Willite,; but a contractor In
this city,, secured a divorce, from hla
wife, Elizabeth , Oard, yesterday from
Judge . Graham-;; on the ground , of ex
treme cruelty, although he admitted on
the witness stand that infidelity waii
the real cause of hla trouble. Oarfi
said that he had visited "Willits a short
time " ago and that -on bis return .- had
found that a stranger, bad usurped hid
piaca In. his TTlfe's affections. When ho
had protected' be .was told be might

by. his wife and placed outside thc<

Since then, . Oard said,. hi* wife had
been livixjjr- with the stranger in Oak
land, leaving, her children in bis care.
Frank, § his > 14 . year old | son, repeated
under oath the* story told by his father,
and Judge Graham granted the divorce.
The : attorney^ . for the husband asked
that for the children's sake the divorce
be granted on the ground of extreme
cruelty. \u25a0 r
Anna Helbush beg^an suit for divorce
yesterday against her husband, Hennas
H. He] bush, alleging intemperance and
extreme cruelty as grounds for the
action. The complaint stated that dur
ing the last clx months Helbush had
returned, home after 12 o'clock at night
on -numerous occasions In an intoxicat
ed condition, that sometimes he varied
this by staying out until 5 and € o'clock
In the morning", and' that when he came
home he invariably abused his wife.
The latter's health had been impaired,
the complaint states, by this treatment
until ehe had been forced to go to a
hospital. ! j She asked for a separation,
the custody of a 6 year old son, Her
man : Jr., and such other relief as the
court may see 1 fit togrant.
Although Eetella ParavagTj* and
Frank Paravagre were married less
than six months ago a suit for divorce
was brought by the former yesterday.
Extreme cruelty committed on an oc
casion a few days after their marriage
Is the ground for the suit. The plain
tiff alleges that she had been slapped,
beaten, j sworn at and her life threat
ened by her husband, who also ejected
aer from their home on York street.
Gertrude 'Dougherty began suit yes
terday to have her marriage to Frank
Dougherty annulled and to be allowed

Cosgrove. ; Failure to provide, she al
leged, led to the suit. Frank J. Murphy

plaintiff. civ:-^:,
Alleging: .that her husband had left
her and repeatedly refused to. return,
Martha Beebesheimer asked the supe
rjor court yesterday to force him to
