CLARA MORRIS.
A statement of Her Domestic EsfFlcul-
tles-A Sally ats-qIkeh WnmaMs

New YORK, Oct. 3l-Many rumors and de-
mails OF the estrangenent and separation OF
Clara Morris from her husband, T. 9. Har-
riott, have lately been published, and, accord
ing to the Dramatic Nevs. which to-day pub
fishes whnt purports to be- IN interview with
this WeIl-known actress the facts in the case
are about as follows: Miss Morris says she
never loved Harriott, but looked up
have confidence and respect. Her de-
sire was to quit the theatrical and live
81 social life She had found him cold, pheg-
matte sh,appearing to think of her only
as some useful article bringing In so much q
week. For the sake Of the worlds opinion
she will not leave Mr. Harriott. People
would attach some wrong Specification to it,.
Her acting on the stage is Il necessity, as his
business is not profitable. Though in con-
stant pain and suffering much, he has forced
her to go to the theatre even against the most
strenuous orders Of her physician. She says
the press and public reproaCh her for feigning
sickness to make herself interesting, but they
little know Of the eternal struggle of her life,
battling on through calumny aud opposition.
Referring to her domestic life she says:
Harriott looks upon her as his chattel, his
property, and treats her well or ill., according
to the money she draws. Some people at
Riversdale, where she resides, think her 81
terribly il-usel woman. In that sense she is
not. Harriott is q gentleman. He never for
gets his polltene5s
When playing as lending lady at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre she says she did not get
enough salary to live on and cothe herself,
and Mr.. DAILY refused her S. to get q new
pair Of shoes unless she signed d five years
contract with him She was playing to lead
ing business with rags on her back. Her life
from childhood has been q struggle with pow
erty and worse ills than thatl
From the tenor of this interview the fact OF
the estrangement with her husband appears
established, and separation may yet result.
Mr.. Harriet is the nephew OF the late Mr..
He is very gentiemanly in
manners and appearance, is highly respected,
and is a favorite in clubs. Both he and his
family hold high position in society.
Speaking of her theatrical engagement,
Mrs. Harriott accuses Palmer, of the Union
Square Theatre. Of using her as long as he
wanted her, and when she broke down, of vii
lifying her i'll the press, saving she WAS pre-
tending sickness, etc. She describes her suf-
ferings on the stage while acting Miss Null
tom as terrible; scarcely night passed but
she tainted between the acts.
