REMARKABLE PRISON’ ER.
THOUGH tbb idol of women,
ALBHBT HOPE 18 NOW IN JAIL.
Bow Ha Squandered Hto Fortune in
New York—He Was the Very Dear
Friend of Mrs. Frank Leslle-Now
Wealthy Men Are Trying to Buy
Bis Release.
From the Sew York Pres*.
Memphis. Texn., Deo. 19.—Albert Hope,
poet, actor and spendthrift of New York,
only son of a prominent southern family,
is the most interesting prisoner the Memphis
jail ever contained. He is under arrest for
forging checks on New York banks and the
crime is not denied by the prisoner nor is it
the first similar offense of which he has
been guilty.
And yet women of Memphis society have
nothing but sympathy and admiration for
him, aud matter of fact business men are
raising money to stay the prosecution aDd
secure the prisoner’s release.
Albert Hope has the “fatal gift of
beauty” if any man or women ever had. It
has been fatal to almost every woman who
has known or who sees the prisoner, for it
warps their judgment of him and turns
distrust into sympathy. It has been fatal to
Hope himself, for it has made him a weak
ling and a criminal.
Hope is a desoendant of one of
the best known and most aristocratic
oreole families of Louisiana. His father,
J. J. Hope, who was a prominent and!
wealthy cotton merchant of New Orleans,
died when Albert was a stripling. The boy
was sole heir to the fortune. Albert was
placed in the Cllnton;Aoademy, and gradu
ated in 1884 at the Southwestern University.
In 1885 his guardian, Mr. Bradshaw turned
over to him about $24,000 worth of real
estate. Almost erased with his new re
sponsibility he sold the entire property for
$11,500 cash, and Immediately struck out
for New York city. His career in New
York was romantlo. Not satisfied unless in
a world of gayetv and excitement, he
•ought it, and while his money lasted lived
In princely style and moved in the highest
social circles.
I.IFK OF THK YOUNG ADONIS.
When seen in jail at Memphis to-day
young Hope’s remarkably handsome face,
dark flowing locks, large dreamy brown
eyes and rich olive complexion were unim
paired by confinement. He is a man of
fine address, though rather effeminate man
ners, and a more cheerful individual would
be hard to find. His conversation is very
pleasant and fascinating. He was dressed
in a suitot brown. His small feet were in
cased in black hove and tan slippers, and he
wore a scarf. His manner, speech aud
gestures were those of a refined and cult
ured actor.
When the correspondent entered his cell
he was stretched on his cot reading the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, and by his side
lay the Century and other periodicals.
‘•I enjoy reading these magazines.” Baid
he, “for I often contributed poems to them.”
When asked for a sketch of his career in
New Yortc he said:
"I went to New York to studv for the
stage. When I arrived there I had $11,500
in cash. I was only 18 years old at the
time, and I have lived a fait life since. 1
was a member of Augustin Daly’s com
pany. I bad always a great passion for the
stage. I lived at the Fifth Avenue hotel
for some time. While there I met Mrs.
Frank Leslie, now Mrs. Wilde. I met
her at a reception given by Mrs. Cleveland,
Horace Greeley's daughter. Mrs. Leslie
persuaded me to change my hotel to the
(jerlech, No. 55 West Twer.tj -seventh street,
wfiere she was located. I remained at the
Gerlaeh more than one year. My board
oost me S3OO Per month, apartments SIBO,
aud 1 kept a carriage and four black horses,
for which I paid S2OO per month. I think I
paid about $7,000 at this hotel, but I had an
elegant time. My apartments were very
baDdsome, and were in close proximity to
Mrs. Leslie's. The furniture in my rooms
were presented mo by ladies and gentlemen.
It was while here that 1 met Tommy Rus
sell. the original Lord Fuuntleroy. We
fancied each other very much, and became
steadfast friends. Mrs. Leslio Das aiways
been nd)ar friend of mine. 8i eis oreolo. as
I am.”
A LETTER FROM MRS, LESLIE.
“Have you heard from her since you left
New York?”
“O, yes. I bavo several letters. One I
have here in my cell. The others are in inv
trunk in Philadelphia, but I have seut f. r
them. The latfer porrion of the letter I
have in my possession was stolen from me
by detcctms, as was also my diary. They
were given to her by the detectives.”
Hope gave the correspondent the letter.
It is written in a bold, running hand, and
bears Mrs. Leslie’s well-known crest, the
reindeer, and toe motto, “Tout ou rieu.”
The letter was written from the Gerlaeh
a! artuieuts, April 16, 1890. It reads as fol
lows:
“My Dear At.mcßT—l was very glad to
get your nice, chatty letter. I took it in
stead of my breakfast. * * * What
a struggle you had to get lodgings. It put
mo mind of my experienco in New Orleans
during Mardi Gras, only you were more
fortunate. I send you a paper about dear
little Tom. My ankle is doing well and I
am uhle to use it without awkwardness. I
(■hall miss you ever so much, dear, when
the orowd comes, but I dare say the change
will tie of benefit to you. You are so alone
iu tho world, dear, that the love you have
for the boy and myself is your one safe
guard, and I want you to cling to it as to a
raft in a shipwreck, for this is all that
keeps you—as the poem runs—from being
ruined."
“The other pages—four—^were stolen from
me,” said Albert.
“I notico she speaks very affectionately.”
“Yes,” said the prisoner. “Read this
ollpping
WHAT MRS. LESLIE THOUGHT OF HIM.
He handed your correspondent a clipping
from a newspaper which read :
“He was such a pretty boy,” said Mrs.
Frank Leslie-Wilde last evening in the
Gerlaeh at No. 55 West Twenty-seventh
ttreet, speaking of young Albert Hope, who
is under arrest for uttering a worthies*
check. “He had the daintiest hands and
feet,” she oontinued. “Dark, dreamy eyes
aud black, wavy hair. His manners were
lovely, and ho had the most exquisite taste
in dress. His morning jackets wore vision.
1 am so sorry Albert is in distress. He came
into my life about two years ago. He had
just come to New York with a fortune, in
herited from his father, a cotton merchant
in New Orleans. He is a creole, of the
■me race as myself, and be was presented
to me by Mrs. Cleveland. I took a fanoy to
the boy and he to me. He came here to
live, he said, to be near me. Albert was as
generous as a prince. He gave costly sup
pers and spent hie money without stint. He
Would bring me roses oosting $2 apieoe."
“Did he spend all his time in social fri
volities?” 1 asked.
O, no,” said Mrs. Wilde. "He spent
•U hi* time with me. Tommy Russell (Lit
tle Lord Fauntleroy) and I were his dearest
friends. He wore our pictures in a minia
ture locket bung around bis neck. Of
course be was one of those ‘girl boys,' and
he wanted to be near me all the time. The
Biris8 iris worshiped him, but he told me that he
Id not oare for them and that he had
never kissed a girl in his life.”
Continuing Hope said: “I attribute all
®y troubles to absinthe. I first tasted the
•tuff at a dinner at Delmonico’s. I became
addicted to tbo habit and was often under
Us influence. Don’t drink absinthe, and
don’t keep a diary; both are ruinous."
THE STOLEN DIART.
"Your friends say your trouble was
caused by your fondness for Mrs. Leslie and
the boy actor, Tom Russell. How about
this?"
‘‘Yes, someone stole a diary. There are
things in that little book I would not have
published for the world.”
Speaking of the diary referred to and
which he says cootoins his inmost thoughts,
• Philadelphia paper says:

cluded in the book are a number of poems,
some of which are good. It contains a
total of 100 verses.
HIS CRIMINAL TRANSACTIONS.
Hope’s criminal transactions date from
Sept. 16 lust. He left New York and went
to his old home at Clinton, Ark. While
there he succeeded iu obtaining several let
ters of introduction to prominent citizens of
Morrilton, Ark. While in the latter oity he
met Prof. T. L. Coz, his former teacher at
Clinton Academy. He asked Prof. Cox to
indorse a draft of S2OO for him on the
Broadway National bank of New York. The
professor being aoquninted with him and
knowing his financial condition when he
was a student at nit school, readily accom
modated him. Hope positively stated that
he had SIO,OOO to his credit iu the New York
bank.
The draft being indorsed, he went to
CapL W. J. Stowers and from him ob
tained the cash. From Morrilton he went
direct to Memphis, aud cashed another
draft at the First National Bank of that
oity. In course of a few days both drafts
were returned protested. Albert was not
found, but the grand jury indicted him for
swindling, w hich charge still hangs over
him. Ho was arrested while in the act rf
boarding a train for New York and
brought to Memphis. His trial took place
last Friday, and he was found guilty aud
sentenced to four years in the penitentiary.
TRYING TO SECURE HIS RELEASE.
His Memphis friends, and be has many,
are working hard to secure his release. A
strong effort is being made to secure anew
trial. Iu case tba Is done he will be re
leased on bond, and endeavor to arrange
matters to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Many wealthy citizons of Memphis have
signified their wlllinguess to assist him in
any way. The day he arrived in Memphis
in charge of officers Mrs. Frank Leslie
wired the bank that she would pav half of
the amount, $125, if the bunk would not
prosecute. The offer was dectinod, and on
the following day a telegram came from
the well-known lady saying:
“I am glad you did not accept my offer.
Since seeing his diary I have lost ail sym
pathy for Hope.”
The prisoner is having a princely time iu
the Memphis jail. He is besieged with
callers the entire day. Last Sunday he re
ceived six baskets of fruit from admiring
la iy and geutiemen friends and as many
requests lor his photograph. Jailer Will
iamson stated that eleven dinners were sent
to him in one day by prominent ladies and
gentlemen of Memphis.
“In fact,” said the jailer, “I never had a
more popular prisoner.”
If he is released from prison in Memphis
he will be brought here to s-aud trial upon
a similar charge. Memphis people have
several times offered to reimburse Prof.
Cox if he would withdraw the charge.
Hope says if Mrs. Leslie did not have his
diary she would be willing to pay #■lo,ooo
if he called upon her for that sum.
SHALL CHILDREN BS CHILDLIKE?
Ccmnqon Mistakes That Are Made In
the Training of Small Folks.
From the London Ladies' Pictorial.
At the present mpmorit the modern child
is, in every sense of the word, very much
in evidence. On all sides the small person
is seriously discussed. Upon the stage it
occupies a prominent position, which, how
ever. provokes a vast amount of discussion
aud controversy; in fiction it has taken
quite a high place, and socially, of course,
it Ims become almost a terror iu the land.
Like Frankenstein, wo have raised up a
veritable monster which threatens to over
whelm us. For, truth to tell, we are oon
a derably under the thumb, if not nat
urally rather afraid of the child of to-day.
It awes us. We feebly acknowledge oar
inability to cope with its precocity and t >
meet its requirements, and according to the
showing of those presumably qualified to
speak with authority it is absolutely neces
sary that our treatment in every way of the
advanoedand exacting end-of-tho-century
infant should be brought up to date. Now
adays we take our children much ton seri
ously. Ae we go the length of assuming
that they moralize over their colored pict
ure books so we encourage the little creat
ures to have * ’nerves” and "tastes" and pot
aversions. It is a common cry of the
modern mother that her Dolly is such a
“highly-strung, nervous" child, or that Ber
tie “doesn’t like company,” or recitaiious,
or something else of the same kind. Time
was when infants were not consulted iu
these matters. They were brought down
stairs, ‘ ‘oiled and curled” like young Assy
rian bulls, aud were expected to gratefully
take what form of amusement was pro
vided for their mother’s guests. There was
no talk of "overexcitement" or nerves in
those days, and except ia boons of the
“Sandford and Merton” class, boys and
girls did not talk with the tongues of grand
parents. We know perfectly well that
our treatment of children nowadays
is absurd, that we make the n
old ruen and women before their time
and permit them to be a nuisance to then
-and a still greater nutsancJ to ottiei s.
Times out of number the praotice of taking
email ohikiren to crowded “at homos” aud
othor social gatherings has been denounood
without success; but overlooking this sid9 of
the question altogether, it cannot be too
deeply deeplored that more infants should
be introduced by lion-huuting hostesses as
•‘the little daughter of Dabble,” or “Mrs.
Tompkins’ little boy,” simply because their
father has written a play or their mother
novel One baby differs very little
from another in glory —until, of coarse, it
has been made objectionable by
the adulation of snobbish grown-up folks
aud the heedless training of its parents—
but from the way the ohildren of
“celebrities” are treated when they are
taken about one would imagine them to bo
Invested with beauty and talents and at
tractiveness not posseesod by any other
little men and women. The system * In
every way objectionable. It is absolute,y
painful to study, aud for its effect on- "as

TOOK A LIO 4 BY THE TAIL.
A CnnnecMcut Woman of Nerve Who
Put the King of Beasts to Plight.
Bridgeport, Conn., Dae. 30.—When P.
T. Buraum’s winter quarters were burned
two years ago one of the lions escaped and
entered the barn of Mrs. GiiligaD, a widow
living on Pequonnock street. Mrs. Gilllgan
bravely entered the baru, grabbed the king
of beasts by the tail and belabored him with
a pitchfork handle to drive it out. Her
pluck and courage were noted in the news
papers at the time and she received many
offers of marriage from men in the far
west who needed brave wives.
Mrs. Gilligan has again distinguished
herself. Bbe is a great poultry fancier, and
her hennery is a standing temptation to the
lawless tramps and toughs who make that
neighborhood their headquarters. Yester
day morning she heard her chickens mak
ing an unusual noise, and, hastily dressing,
she got to the coop just in time to see two
men carrying off thirte-n of her fowl*. She
followed them to their camp In the woods,
aud, jumping into the midst of the gang,
she grabbed the chickens from the bands of
the thieves and gave them a piece of her
mind. Then she sent for the police and
made complaints against the men. The
next morning they were sent up for theft,
and Mrs. Gilligau was complimented by
the court.
“Do YOU cal! this a pint?” asked the model
hired girl to the milkman.
••Yes.”
‘ Well, it won’t do. When this family wants
condensed milk it’ll buy it at the grocery.
