Mrs POTTER NOT FREE YET.
Her Husband Has No Divorce Ana the
Kyrle Below Rumor Is Baseiess'

Hnsband Has No Divorce, Ana the
Kvrle Below Rumor Is Baseiess'
NEW YORK, July 22.-No connrma-
ton of the truth of the rumor gener-
ally published yesterday Of the divorces
and subsequent marriage of Mrs. James
Rrown Potter could be secured yester-
dav in this city. 1t is regarded as naro-
" possible that Mr.. Potter or his attor-
news could have applied for and secured
divorce in New York without the cir
cumstances becoming known.
Mrs. Potter has been absent from TINS
country nearly two years. Notlce u
the beginning of divorce proceedings
against her would have to be served Dy
publication. Such publication wouiu
undoubtedly be noticed and widely COM
mented upon by the newspaper press
No such publication has ever appeareu,
nor Is there any record OF the aileSeu
divorce in the County Clerks of1ce.
James Brown Potter, the person most
interested, is summering at Tuxedo, 50
a direct denial could not be ootalneu
from him. From Mrs. Potter's attorney,
Franklin Bartlett, 1t was learned that
no action for divorce had been begun
against his client. AS Mrs. Potter 3
legal adviser he would certainly know
of such step. m
The part of the rumor dealing with
the marriage of Mrs. Potter to her 1or-
mer leading man and present partner,
Kyrle Bellew, receives prompt ana
convincing contradiction from Lawyer
Abe Hummel, who is not only Mr.. Bel
LEWIS but his personal friend as well.
A constant correspondence has been
kept I'D between Mr.. Hummel and the
erratic actor since their wanderings
around the globe. In none OF these
letters has Mr.. Bellew referred TO his
marriage, consummated or contem-
plated, with the partner OF his wander
ings. Mr.. Hummel is positive that the
marriage has not occurred.
The present appears to be but one OF
the many rumors which have either d.
vorced Mr. and Mrs. Potter or married
the lady to Actor Bellew. They have
come thick and fast and with persis-
tency since Mrs. Potter's first appear
ance on the professional stage. Mr..
Potter has invariably denied that he
contemplated suing for divorce. Never
theless, many ugly stories concerning
the relations of Mrs. Potter and her
effeminately handsome leading man
continued to gain currency. Bellew,
who was at one period of his checkered
career an Australian gold digger, is
quite a Lotharic. He was the CORE
spondent in the suit which freed Mr..
Carter, of Chicago, from that pretenti-
Gus actress, Mrs. Leslie Carter.

Sufferings OF q Party or Fugitives rron
Santiago.
SAN Francisco, July ga letter
foom Santiago gives thrilling details OF
the escape of party of prominent Con-
gresslonalists in that city to Iquique.
The leaders were Seniors Lastorrla
and Bulness. They learned that Balma-
ceda proposed to arrest them for sus'
pected treachery, and they left Santa
go secretly by night, determined TO
make their way across the mountains to
Mendoza and then go to 1quique.
They were overtaken by great snow
storm, and sought safety in cave near
by. Lastorria was suddenly taken i'll
and besought his friends to leave him
behind. In his delirium he declared he
saw his only brother dying In the City
of Conception. He was taken into the
middle OF the group and all stood on
their feet in a bunch like animals, to
keep from freezing. Whisky was
served literally, but in few moments
Lastorrla's legs gave way and it was
found that he had died standing, with
out word or sign.
The storm continued, and guide was
sent for food. He returned with a
warning that Balmaceda's troops were
on their track, and he led the party to
mine near by. They reached the
place just in time, for their pursuers
were in sight. The miners were all
armed and refused to surrender the
fugitives, who finally reached Mendoza.
They passed the bodies of man and
woman and two children, also fugitives
from Santiago, who were frozen to
death as they were walking. They
learned at Mendoza that Lastorria's
brother. actually died at the hnnr when
was formerly Senator and Cabinet
Minister.

THE Coldstream Guards, the oldest
corps but one in the British Army, has
mutinied against an order TO parade.
This, on top Of the recent mutiny Of
the Grenadiers, looks bad for English
army discipline; yet it is said to be the
result Of too much or too strict discip-
line. England's greatness rests largely
on bayOnets.

ETHICS OF THE ..MANLY ART"

Sensible and law abiding citizens will
heartily approve the action Of Mime
sofas Governor, which resulted In the
indefinite poStponement of the Fitz-
simmons-Hall prize fight which was to
have occurred at St. Paul yesterday.
The sporting fraternity everywhere, no
doubt, feel sadly aggrieved and look up
on themselves as much abused citizens;
but the "sports" do not run the
country nor do they set the moral and
intellectual pace for the peace-loving
majority.
Prize fighting is unlawful, sit should
be. 1t is brutal and degrading to the
extreme, and the public mind should
not by familiarity be accustomed IN rN-
gardlng it as anything but what 1t is,
nor the public taste vitiated by fire.
quent exhibitions of this character. We
have too much Of it as it is; to-day
Bruiser SULLIVAN probably would at
tract more admirlng attention in public
than the President of the United
States.
Prize fighting is entirely different
from a scientific boxing con-
test conducted In decent man
ner, in which the object Of the
contestants is not to pound each other
into helplessness, or insensibility, for a
sum of money. In short prize fighting
is the manly art of self defense"
brutalized and degraded and certainly
the laws against it should be rigidly
enforced.

with striking practical executive ability, is
manifest in the street commission er's office
in New York. Fifteen hundred Italian
laborers are employed in this department.
CYNTHIA Westover can talk to them in
their own language and ''boss" them as
few men have been able successfully to do.
During an illness of Commissioner Beattie
lasting several weeks she managed entirely
the affairs of the whole street cleaning de-
partment of New York.
Miss Westover obtained her appointment
in the beginning simply because she passed
the best examination of any applicant for
the place New York state is under a
civil service law. When this girl got the
place many were the Disguised faces among
the "boys," who thought an Office with
a salary of 81, 500 quite wasted on woman.
Once in office, the young lady found there
were several things she did not know. She
was ignorant of some of the technical
terms used in the Office, for one thing. I'M
mediately she got dictionary and sat up
much of the night learning these terms, also
learning something else of which she was
ignorant. That was how to calculate the
amount of dirt a street cart and dump
scow would hold. In New York the street
sweepings and garbage are loaded upon
scows and towed, or supposed to be lowed.
by tugs out into the Atlantic ocean and
dumped among the wild waves. 1t was a
part of Miss Westover's duties TO calculate
how many cubic feet of this refuse could
be loaded upon a cart or scow. She can do
it now To a dot.
She went TO live in an Italian family to
learn their language, and mad herself fined
cent Tor every English word spoken. The
first day it cost her s. 50, but after that it
came easier. Finally, she can sing like a
bird, aud has been a member of an opera
company. ELIZA ARCEARD CONNER
