MISS FENTON'S VERSION.

She Denies Any Attempt ut Sutcide--7
Members of the Company Indorse n
ager Foote. Editor CARED Speak
GOOD Word.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In your paper of Saturday, Jan. 2
about that date-I saw an article z
porting that, while travelling with RI
ard Foote'S Dramatic Company, .
while in Fargo, ! attempted to com
suicide by taking morphine. In addit
to this there was also some sensatio
favor concerning myself and Mr.. Fo,
which was assigned as my motive for
act. Now, as l am the one who knl
more about this than any one else, Ih
you will take my word as the truth !
publish the same at the earliest poss
opportunity. The taking of the =.
phine was mistake, so far as any sui
al motive was concerned. I wishe(
take some for purely medicinal
pose, and, never having taken it bel
took too much. The sensational pa.
the story is also without any founda
whateYer-Mr. Foote only being q
good friend of mine, one who has b
all in his power to put me to the +,
and to his kindness and coaching }
all the success I have so far achieve
the dramatic profession. My homei
Minnesota, and my many friends IL
West, and also all those whom KIM
the East, will, l know, cheerfully
coRRoBoRATE ALL 1 HAVE san
as they haye all been cognizant y
work and actions, especially durile
past two years. / |
The trouble which Mr.. Foote hase
been having with w. Percy Grey,
manager of the Fargo opera house eae
direct result of my actions, whil-
though unintentional, has causah
Mr.. Foote and myself much expepd
annoyance. I say this is the direcilt
and yet it Is unjustlY so. for l was i'll
to play Saturday evening, and US
sickness will. throughout the wbe |
| accepted, by any just manager, atc-
lent excuse for non-performandr U.
Crenshaw, however, refused t9rt
such excuse, and made no effort nd
out whether the company couldot
give performance without me. iid
not light or heat the opers houpd,
when the entire company, excephy-
self, came to enter, he not onlysed
to open the doors, but madeges
against Mr.. Foote which werrly
false, as oil the members of theen
will testify. Mr.. Crenshaw haln-
ued to follow us up since we lego
nearly three weeks ago, and OF
Mr.. Foote damages of nearly fred
dollars. This Mr.. Foote refus(aY,
and I think he is right in SO ddhd
really believe that Mr.. CrenWni
have lived many more years ne
$ gains his point in this respect.

telegram from ). J. Daniel, president of
the Jacksonville Citizens Auxiliary Asso-
citation:
m the name of our people, and humanity, ]
protest against the order for the detention OF
all refugees from our city and State at the refu
gee camp 1t would be better for us to keep
our women and children here rather than sub
1ect them to such treatment.
DR.. Hamilton sent the following reply:
Telegram received. Your requistion for 200
tents was approved. You are mistaken as to
character OF the camp, which is IN charge Of
one OF the most humane officers in the service,
and none in the country stands higher as to
professional ability. The camp is located in
one OF The healthiest places in the Florida pine
woods on the river blun, originally intended
by the railroad as picnic grounds and taken by
DR.. G1siteras as the best place for his camp.
He Was some days ago directed to have some

pect that persons should be allowed to mingle

points. Murphy, in North Carolina, has opened
its doors, the only place so reporting itself to
me. presidents wish to go to Murphy, or any
definite point in Western North Carolina on
their parole not to go to the seaboard or quar-
antined towns within ten days from date of de-
parture from Jacksonville. excursion trains will
be forwarded as soon as the number of trains
required can be definitely asceItained. Please
estimate the number OF people in jack

arrangements can be made for transporta-
tion
DR.. Hamilton also sent a dispatch to
Governor Perry, informing him that the
general removal of quarantine regula-
tions would simply spread the disease
and render useless existing measures of
relief.

-The custom of lifting the hat

The oustem of lifting the hat had
its origin during the age of chivalry,
when it was customary for knights
never to appear inpublie except in full
armor. It became a custom, however,
for knight, upon entering an assem-
bly, of friends, to remove his hemlet,
signifying: Il am safe in the presence
Of my friends" The age of chivalry
passed away with the fifteenth century,
but among the many acts of courtesy
which can be traced back to its influ-
ence none is more direct in its origin
than that Of lifting the hat to acknowl-
edge ths presence Of friend.
