II Is Rumored That She Is in This
Country at the Present Time.
Special 10 The New..

NDfctn 10 Inc NcW<.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Society is still
discussing the divorce proceedings insti-
tuted by James Coleman Drsyton against
his wife, with Hallett Alsop Borrowe as
correspondent.
Mr.. Borrowe told a friend of his recently
that Mrs. Drayton was no longer in En-
rope, where the public have supposed she
was. but on this side of the Atlantic,
awaiting developments in the divorce
case. IL is said that she is with some
relatives in the Astor family.
This report could not be confirmed by
Mrs. Drayton's lawyer, Herbert A. Ship
man. He stated that he did not know
where Mrs. Drayton was at present. She
might be in Japan.
Mr.. Borrowe denied that he knew any
thing about Mrs. Drayton, and that he
had ever made any statement as to her
whereabouts to any one. The divorce
proceedings are at standstill, pending
the return of Mr.. Drsyton TO this city
from Bar Harbor. 1t is said that he will
make statement when he returns, en-
larging upon the points that are set. forth
in his papers filed at Trenton, n. j., and
that he will also give out some informa-
tion concerning the things which Mrs.
Drayton has intimated she will set forth
in her cross-petition papers, soon TO be
filed.

SUICIDE /!
A Providence JeweIer Ends
His Life in Boston.

About 8 o'clock last evening William
Boehne, of Providence, q years OF age, cut
his throat with razor while on the roof
OF the house in which he lived at 90
Leverett street, West end, Boston.
Other occupants OF the house who had
seen him going to the roof with the razor
in his hand and suspecting his purpose,
followed and found him lying on the roof
with his throat cut nearly from ear to ear.
DIR. Brechin, W ho was called, found that
Boehne's attempt at self-destruction was
likely to prove successful and ordered his
removal, to the Massachusetts, General
Hospital.
He died few moments before O'Clock.
Boehne had been out of employment for
some time, and his failure TO secure work
is said to have made him despondent. He
was unmarried.
He had gone to Boston TO get work after
vainly seeking employment in Providence.
His father, Herman L. Boehne, is a hair
dresser at 1876 Cranston street, and lives at
80 Harrison street. Mr.. Boehne went to
Boston this morning to bring back his
sons body.

The Characteristics of the Furnish
ings of Tea Room.

She called it her tea room and it
was acknowledged by all who entered
it to be most charming apartment
Originally it had been intended for a
hall bedroom, but the young woman
transformed it. The little money she
had to expend upon that room was al
most gone by the time she had the
walls repapered in delicate white and
yellow and had painted the woodwork
a dazzling ivory white. Then she
draped the single window in rather
coarse, white illusion" which fell in
straight folds from a piece Of yellow
fretwork she had picked up for half a
dollar at the cabinet makers.
The floor was carpeted in blue de-
MIN. In one corner stood the little tea
table, which held the copper kettle. the
blue and white china, and a piece of
candelabra, with old iron holders
branching from a blue and white vase.
A low wooden chair-it had been a
kitchen one until its legs were cut
short and some coats Of white paint
had been applied-stood next to the
table. There a couple of otner chairs
in the room, a few pictures on the wall
and a white fur rug, which had cost
just S1.9S, on the floor. A blue denim
portiers worked in white separated the
little room from the drawing room, but
it was generally drawn back, to give a
