Claudia ll.in., wlio has been llvln* with h«r mother ever elnco her .eparallon from Cept. H»'n«, has returned to the home of her childhood—and all too short girlhood—a grlef-atrirken. humiliated woman—a woman flayed by her own aex~bereft both of her children and her husband, yet notwithstanding she haa maintained a dignity and hopeful- neaa, remarkable In on® *o young. Mra. Halna wan aeen frequently dur ing the peat week, and aeen at her beat. In her own email cottage at Win- throw, which la but a few minutes' ride outnlde of Boaton. Claudia, or Claude, Winthrop, aa in Wlnthrop they call her affectionately, lives In the highlands of the town. Her mother's home la a modest simple two.story one, painted white, but a stone’s throw from the station. The station master speaks highly of Mra. Halna, and All the conductors on the railroad know her and have friendly smile for tier every day. Here In this dreamy old town, Mrs. Halna, seated In a huge armchair, smiled or scabbed as she repeated the well-known history that has turned out tragically for tho flvo or more concerned In it. Mrs. Hains Like a Child. Mrs. Hains, for all her twenty-three years. Is still a child in many ways. She was dressed In a dark blue, close- fitting gown which showed off to ad vantage her graceful figure still girlish. “They say I waa bad and frivolous and ‘light,*ahe said. “Show me the woman who has time to be all of thoso —with bablos!" Claudia Hains In a much* sinned against woman, from her own account, her lawyers* nnd that of her friends, both in Wlnthrop and elsewhere. Friends have upheld her loyally In ull her troubles. Her mother Is ever at her side—a gracious woman of about 45 years, who adores her daughter and has tho name of “Claudia" always on her Ups. Pictures nnd sketches of “Claudia" are In evidence In four out of tho six rooms In their little dwelling. She It Is who day by day cuts out the clip pings from all the newspapers avail- able—not one escapes her—and puts them In a book for future reference. Has Golden Brown Hair, Mrs. Hains Is a remarkably pretty woman, of medium height, ^vith a wealth of golden brown hair, which she wears In a pompadour all round nnd sometimes dresses In the Grecian style, a good nose, somewhat rounded at tho end, and a very prettily curved, red mouth, with smiling corners and a well-rounded chin. It Is a bright face and has traces of neither dissipation nor depravity. There are shadows under her ap pealing blue eyes, caused by crying or sleeplesnuess. Thero Is an air of sad ness about her that Is pathetic. She smiles, yet ever with a tear near the surface; there Is a restrained restless ness and melancholy thut shows that she has suffered silently—ever appear ing cheerful—for the sake of her moth- Hers Is a highly-strung, passion ate nature, and nono too strong. If frivolous, vain and light, as she has been accused, she has undergone! a complete change. She takes entire chargo of the house, dusting, sweep ing nnd making cake very much the same as all other domestic women. Claudia Good, Says Mother, Her mother said In her defense the other day: “Claudia had always been n good girl and If in any way she de viated from the right path. It was not until the two Hatnaes came Into her llfo and, oh, how I wish they never had. Claudia's head was turned by Peter’s uniform. She was so young nnd he flattered her vanltv until she consented to her mad marriage, which I was always (.g.nlnst. “She was a flne girl when she mar ried him. a sweet child, with her drenmn and romances the same as all girls, and she was always a great fa vorite. Every one loved her. In her confession, let us call It, In the paper tho other day. she told who It was gnve her her drat drink. Her own husband, nnd ho did more than corrupt her in this wav. but that will wait till her trial for divorce from him comes up after the murder trial Is over—If he is still In existence to sue. Mother Scores Hainses. “I never liked any of the Hainses much. Thornton made advances to my daughter, who hated him for It nnd for himself. Mrs. Hains wears a heavy silver ban gle on her left arm. "I wear It for luck." she said. “My babies cut their teeth on It." and she showed the marks of their teeth proud ly. “1 think If I wear It everything will turn out all right. “Sometimes I .lust can't reallxo that they nro gone and that I have been through all that. It doesn't seem pos sible I can be the same girl who used to run round this very door, skip rope nnd make mud plea. Oh!

Dec. 3*.—'Today ta the Mexican “all fool's" day, com memorating the feast of the "Santoa Inner ntca." which is the day cn which Joseph and Mary with the aid of an angel fooled the sold‘era of Herod. King of Judea, who had been sent to kill Jeeus. According to the tradition linked with this day whan Herod, king of Judea, heard that a hlng of the world had been bom. * he ordered hla s*m- d'era to kill evflry child in the king dom of two years of age, think ing In that way to rid the king , throne Joseph and Mary ware jGgffiDj _ anted | by an aaget'and dad Into Kgvpt. on r ad they encountered a bady»*l tars, but fooled the soldier* by hid- Man »«‘l the infant J* *u« h. which quickly grew beahl “THE RIGHT OF WAY. One of the finest acted plays ever presented here will pay a visit to the Grand tonight. Sir Gilbert Parker’a stirring drams, “The Right of Way," with Guy Standing and Theodore Rob- erts in their thrilling impersonations of Charley Steele and Joe Portugal*, under the management of Klawr & Er- Ianger will be the attraction. The dramatization of what has been pronounced the greatest novel «-f the decade was made by Eugene W. Pres- brey, the successful adapter of “Raf fles." The story is told In flv rlods or episodes. The first sho'ws Charley Bteele at the height of his success as a lawyer and leader of his social world in the city of Montreal. He Is a man without a heart, a doubt er, a wrecker of men for selfish rea sons. There la quick transition In the second episode, showing Steele seeking his recreations In the mire of the riv er tavern on tho banks of the St, Lawrence. A blow and his memory is wiped out. Here playwright and nov elist part, sjr Gilbert never answered the question of Steel’s redemption. He left his readers with the impression that Steele died a suicide and de- bauche. Mr. Presbrey shows his sal vation through faith and love. The production is on the satne magnifi cent scale as all of Kluw & Krlanger’s attractions, and the supporting com pany la recognized as being one of the finest ever rtent out of New York city. The acting organization has been recognized by the press of the United States to be one of the greatest tri umphs ever present©d to the theater going public. BLANCHE^ WALSH. “The Teat,” says the New York Jour nal, “Is the only play ever seen in New York, dealing with the sex prob lem, which does not offend. Miss Blancho Walsh Is at her best in the role of Emma Eltynge. The play is on© which every man, woman and child should see. It teaches a lesson which we all should know." Miss Walsh’s engagement In this city will be limited to one night, at the Grand Opera House on Thursday, De cember 31. Critics have pronounced the work one of the strongest produced in America In many years. One of Miss Blanche Walsh's com pany remarked casually to a New York newspaper man. that In the aggrega tion was a youth who Is a member of one of the best known families in the world. “He |s only an adjunct In 'The Test/" he added, “but his name la known tho length and breadth of the entire world." That name night the city editor of tho newspaper called up Miss Walsh by telephone and asked as to the iden tity of tho young man. “I presume." she said, “there must bo somo mistake. Every member of •The Test* has proved a big hit and I am quite sure that If thero was any one connected with tho production so well known,I should have heard of It.” Tho day following Miss Walsh was accosted by tho property man who had a grievance. When he had finished, she asked* “Who are you, anyway?" “Why," ho answered complacently, “I am a member of one of tin best AT CRIPPLE CREEK. “At Cripple Creek," one of the bent plays Hal Reid ever wrote, and which has long been a favorite with the lov er# of melo-drama, will bo *om at the Grand Opera House on Friday, January 1st. As gleaned by tho tlt’e, the piece Is laid In the Ro'.klds at the time of the gold discoveries In that section In which then were so many real happenings that make splcn- dldmaterlal for the playwright today. The sceniceffects arc novel and real istic nnd the company presenting tho play are equal to tho demands made of "CHECKERS." Dave Brnham, Jr„ whose interpre tation of the pari of “Push" Miller/ tho race track tout In “Checkers," haa justlytaken rank with the best char acterizations on the ctag) today, is the son of the late Diva Braham, who died recently and who oompiv.tf \ho famous songs sung years ago by Har- rlgan and Hart.

Tho show* at the Lyric this week is surpassing everything that has been secured there during the season; each act Is on© of tho highest merit and the entertaining qualities of each Irf of the highest class. Andy Runkln, the eccentric musical comedian, has one of tho most novel remember In our moments of depres nnd different acts that has this city. His many songs, which, by the way. are new, are the most laugh able that haa ever been sprung In that* little house. H*s musical part of the act comprises many new and novel In struments, of his own. His prohibition piano receives good applause at each performance. The dosing of his act, singing and playing a banjo in real old darky style |s fine. (Bailey And Taylor, the two best black face comedians that have ever been over the southern time, are with ,ua again. This team has been seen here before and they are making even a bigger hit‘than they did before. Miss Taylor as the mulatto, does her part far above anything seen here and her song. “Hallajah 8ister."

NEW YORK, Dec. 21—“If a com* btnp.tlon to do business ip effective in saving waste and m getting better results, why Is not combination far more Important In philanthropic work?" In this question is set forth the text of an article by John Rockefeller, head of the Standard Oil Interests published In the current Issue of the Worlds Work. The general subject of Mr. Rockefeller’s article Is "The value of the co-operative prin ciple In living." Mr. Rockefeller expresses tho be lief that tho general Idea of co-opera- tlon In giving for education scored "a real step In advance" when Mr. An drew Carnegie consented to become a member of the general education board, “for in accepting a position in this directory he has, It seems to mo, stamped with hls approval this vital principle of co-operatton In aiding the educational Institutions of our coun try." Work of Education Board. He goes on TO describe In some de tail of the general education board which he said has made or is making a careful study of tho location, aims, work, resources, administration and educational value present and pros pective, of the Institutions of higher learning in the United States. The board, he says, makes Its contribution averaging something like $2.000,000 a year, on the most careful comparative study of needs • and opportunities throughout the country* “Its records are open to all. Many benefactors of education are availing themselves of these disinterested inquiries, and It Is hoped that more will do so." Some interesting general remarks on the subject of benevolence illuminate Mr. Rockefeller’s point of view. For instance he says: To help an Inefficient, 111-fatcd, un necessary school Is waste. I am told by thoso who have given most care ful study to this problem that It Is highly probable that enough money has been squandered on unwise edu cational projects to have built up a national system, of higher education, adequate to our need, If . the money had been properly directed to that end.” Many Appeals Reach Rockefeller. Of Roman Catholic methods Mr. Rockefeller said that he has “seen tho organization of the Roman church secure better results with a given sum <of money than other church organiza tions are accustomed to secure from tho same expenditure. It Is unneces sary to dwell upon the centuries of experience"which the Church of Rome has gone through to perfect a great power of organization. • Commenting upon the great mass of appealing letters received Mr. Rocke feller says that four-fifths of them are requests for money for personal use, “with no other title to consider ation than that the writer would be gratified to have it.” Mr. Rockefeller pays a warm tribute to the memory of tho late Dr. William R. Harper, president of the Universi ty of Chicago nnd makes without qualification the statement which will I H .... I presi dency of tho University of Chicago, ho never onco either wrote me a letter or asked me personally for a dollar of money for the university." He goes on- to explain that in this as In all other cases the gifts to the university were tho result of the pre sentation of its needs, “made in writ ing by the officers of the university, whose special duty It 1* to prepare p budget and superintend its finances. It Is not personal interviews and impassioned appeals, but sound and Justifying worth that should at tract and secure the funds of philan- tropy. The peoplo in great numbers who are constantly importuning me for personal iptervlews in behalf of favorite causes err In supposing that tho Interview, were It possible. Is the best way, or even a good way, of securing what they want.*’ , Doesn't Mind Criticism. In the course t»f his article Mr. Rockefeller says of himself: “Criti cism that is deliberate, sober-and fair Is always valuable and It should be welcomed by all who desire progress. I have had at least my full share of adverse criticism, but I can truly say that It has not embittered me, nor left me with any harsh feeling against a living soul. Nor do I wish to be crit ical. of those whose conscientious judgment, frankly expressed, differs from my own. No matter how noisy the pessimists may be, wo know that the world I* getting better steadily and rapidlv. and that It Is a good thing to slon or humiliations/" Ksntat Farmer*’ Week. MANHATTAN. Kan .
