The Late Mrs. Webster.

Mrs. Caroline Bayard lie Roy Webster,
widow OF Daniel Webster, whose death
has been announced at the age of S5,
was the daughter OF an ointment mer-
chant OF New York. In December, 1929,
she married Mr.. Webster as his second
wife, his first wife, Grace Fletcher, OF Hop.
kinton, N. H., having died In the January of
the preceding year. She was left widow,
October "a, 1852, and has long resided ut the
old lie Roy House, at New Rochelle, with her
brother, Mr.. William H. lie Roy. Some years
ago Mrs. Webster was thrown from her carri-
age and sustained severe bodily injuries, and
though she fully recovered her physical
health, her memory OF her life before the
accident was almost wholly destroyed, while
events from day to day. She still, however,
took great interest in the news, and reading
newspapers was her principal occupation. on
the occasion OF the celebration ofthe hundredth
anniversary Of her husbands birth a few days
ago, she wrote a letter OF thanks TO the teach
ers and pupils OF the Woolsey Public School at
New Haven, her handwriting being described
lS "large but tremulOus."

The District Loses its Case.

The case of the District of Columbia against
Mr.. Lewis Clephaue, to recover $41,O0O, the
amount alleged to have been expended on re-
pairs on Twelfth street northwest, and a full
account of which appeared in yesterdays
CRITIC, came to sudden termination yester-
day afternoon by the Court instructing the
Jury to return verdict for the defendant,
which was done. The Judge held that Ia case
OF repairs the District should prove that the
material and workmanship was bad, which 1t
had failed TO do, and that taking up one kind
of pavement and substituting another kind
was not repairs, either in the meaning OF the
contract or law, and hence a verdict should be
given for the defendant. This was a test case,
and the result will terminate the litigation in
eleven more'cases, and keep upward OF $500,
600 out Of the District treasury 1t Is Intended
TO have the decision reviewed in the higher
court but no doubt is entertained OF its being

The New York correspondent writing to tho
Wilmington (Del) NcpS has the following to
say Of sprightiy little songs,ress, well known
to the Washington public
"Do you remember little Belle Mackenzie,
who acted the part OF Cousin Hsbe in John
Fords 'Pinafore company She was his
great card, but he didn't seem TO have much
faitl In her ability except in light parts, where
her beauty would be the principal attraction.
She and Herbert Archer, tho walking gentle
man OF the company, fell IN love and decided
to be married. Mr. Ford generously assisted
at the ceremony, and then, as 1t turned
out, they were afterward dismissed. They
came TO New York and got transient
engagement with company at the Biiou
former partner Of Ford's son Charley.
Little Mrs. Archer had the first chance OF her
life TO show what she could do as an actress,
and improved It so well that after Polk, the
star, she did more for the success OF the ven.
ture than any one else. Steele Mackayc, who
was looking about for Grace FlsN,Ding In
his play "won at Last, happened TO drop in
AT the BiJou one evening, and saw In Mrs.
Archer the actress he was looking for. He
went behind the scenes after the play, offered
Mrs. Archer and her husband an engagement
with the company he was then organizing,
and the contract was signed on the spot.
The Archers remained with Mackaye until
few weeks ago, when Dan Frohman, the man.
ager OF the Madison Square Company, opened
negotiations with them for next season. Moth
Ing was decided until last week, when Froh-
man succeeded In getting them to sign con.
tract for two years, beginning next October
Mrs ARCHER cher to play Ha''t AXIS, and her hus-
Mackaye decided to disband his company, and
within twenty-four hours the ever-watchful
Frohman made new contract with the young
couple, and recalling Catharine Rogers of the
"Number Two Madison Square Company"
as II is called, started them of for Texas,
where Mrs. Archer takes the part OF Hazd
next Tuesday, and her husband begins to
play as soon as place can be made for him In
The company. So that within two years the
little He6e so well known to the Washington,

fact the people of the South, has become
leading actress in ono OF the finest companies
in the land. 1t Is another illustration of the

that they were in despair; now they are TO be

about the truth OF the rumor that he had made
a contract for more than two years with them,
and he smilingly confirmed the report, and
remarked; Il wish 1t was for fourteen years.
