convicted on Friday by Judge Conlan on
the charge of brutally beating his wife, was
brought up for sentence yesterday. His
mother was In court beside him.
Durand's attorney made q strong plea for
a lenient sentence. He referred to the
provocation his client had received from his
wife's drinking habits and seeing her in her

When You found your young wife was ad-
dicted TO the use OF liquor it was your duty
to endeavor by every means in your power
to wean her from it,
"You do not seem to have done ANYTHING
in that direction, but instead beat her most
brutaily. A young man like you should
have known better than TO act in the way
you did

Duse Is sunersfitious.

Eleonora Duse is absurdly superstitlous
and In the most unexpected ways. A stage
carpenter at the Fifth-avenue Theater, New
York, relates this incident. just before the
evening performance he completed some
bit OF work and threw himself down to rest
for moment upon some of the stage prop
critics, couch made OF soap boxes and
covered with buffalo robe. Immediately
all of Duse's support flew at him, chatiering
in wild excitement and uninteliigible Italian.
Finally the stage manager spied him and
pounced upon him. You must get eff
from that" said he. "If Signora Duse saw
you she wouldn't let the curtain go up. She

pens Of Messrs. Sims and Raleigh, recently

parodies after all when one remembers that
