Lillian and Teddy Reconciled.
Special to the Globe
NEW YORK, April 2O.-The World has
the following:
Lillian Russell and Edward Solomon last
night occupied n box together at the Casino
Their presence excited much comment, for
during the past few weeks, Teddy and Lillian
were out. In the lobbies the all-absorbing
topic of the dudes and theater-goers was the
reported reconciliation. The couple looked
INTO each others eyes more frequently and
continuously than they looked upon the
stage. These two have nightly appeared in
the same theater, because Lillian gets $500 a
week and Solomon is tied down by a three
years contract. They have been very mad
at each other, and each protested that they
never, never would "make up" The trouble
began some time ago, when, according to
Lillian, she got tired of paying her husband's s
bills. When her persistency on this point de-
veloped into obduracy Solomon left the fam
lily apartments in Twenty-first street. He
had not been back long when Lillian took her
turn ut the desertion business. She left with
the beautiful little two-year-old child, aud
went to her mothers house at No.
81 East Ninth street. There was not
sufficient room for the baby and her nurse
there, so Lillian went up to Harlem and left
them with the mother of the French twins.
She evidently thought the separation per-
manent thing, for she went to the expense of

over the drug store at the corner of One-hun-
dred-and-fourteenth street and Lexington
avenue. A good deal of her time was spent
with her mother, Mrs. Leonard where she
always went TO rest after matinees until the
evening performances. From this it was in
ferred that she was II resident of the house,
ana rev knew that she was maintaining q
separate establishment of her own. Solomon
took up his residence at the Morton house,
where he
REMAINED UNTIL SATURDAY
Then Manager j. NJ. Hill, with whom hus-
band and wife had signed q three years con-
tract came upon the scene as a peacemaker.
He had interested himself in their affairs as
soon as he heard of the break up of the house
hold Lecturing and good advice were both
disregarded, and finally he played his strongest
cards, and dwelt upon the financial imprudence
OF permitting little difference to ruin their
prospects and injure his own. 1t is reported
that he exhibited practical sympathy in the
shape of an advancement on SoIomons new
but uncompleted opera, which made him in
dependent. Either husband or wife would
necessarily have, if matters were not patched
up, TO leave the company. As Lillian was
promised S400 a week for next season and
Solomon's creations were contracted
for in advance, the inducement
for each to stay was an argument
for reconciliation. The first that was known
to the public of the consummation of Mana
ger Hills plans and efforts was the appear
ance or little Lillian On Broadway Saturday
afternoon, her tottering feet being guided by
parent on each side. After the perform
ance that night there was other evidence of
IL, when Solomon furnished a generous sup
ply of champagne for the members of the
Union Square theater. and one of Lillian's
sisters, who belongs TO it, was requested to
tell MOther-in-Law Leonard that everything
had been made up. Then the twenty-days'
estranged couple went home TO Lillian 5
apartments. They were so much occupied in
their attentions one to the other that they did
not have tune TO make other than brief in
| dorsements of the reported reconciliation.
Solomon said that everything was all right
now and he had forgiven and forgotten
everything. Lillian, while she did not like to
| acknowledge that she had been at all to blame,
was inclined to be charitable. Divorce pro-
| ceedings, she announced, would be dropped
and everything would go on merrily. The
only admission or confession she would make
was the general one that people have to be
| foolish some time.
