PEARL EYTINGE A WRECK.
A Once Noted Actress the Victim of
Liquor and Drugs.

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. IA Times Herald
special from New York says: The news
that Pearl EYtinge is lying critically i'll
at the Flower hospital in this city, suffer
ing from alcoholism and morphine
poisoning, will come as shock to many
people the country over, who remem-
bered the woman as a beautiful and ac-
complished actress, who for years
charmed the audiences at Wallack's,
where she took ingenue parts under the
management of Lester Wallack. Later
she startled the theater- going public by
appearing as lisa in The Clemenceau
Case"
Miss Eytinge was yesterday removed
from her home on East Forty eighth
street to the hospital. The house where
she lives was given to Miss Eytinge in
1890 by Bobert Cheeseboro, the vaseline
manufacturer. The woman's beauty is
a thing of the past. She is a slave to
drink and narcotic drugs. Not yet 40
years of age, her life and brains have
been burned out, and the end is very
near.

Life in Washingto

The absence of nerve-racking noises
is a heavenly feature of this town. A
New Yorker naturally feels when he
gets to Washington as if he had arrived
at some peaceful hamlet like Flushing
or Nyack-on-the-Hudso He is also
surprised to find how far his money
goes. One groveling commercial crea-
ture declares that he never was rich
but once in his life, and that was when
he was making $125 a month in Wash
ington. He had everything he wanted,
he. belonged to a swell club, dressed
like a lord, had a Manhattan cocktail
every morning and smoked the best
cigars. In an evil hour he accepted a
place in New York at $1,000 year, and
he has been on the ragged edge of pau
perism ever since. - Boston Tran
scripts Washington letter.

The Court Couldn't Decide.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Judge Buck, of the Superior court at
Spokane, has for three days past been
hearing arguments in the case of the
state against John w. Considine, pro-
prietor of a variety theater, who is
charged with the crime of having tvio-
lated new state law called the bar
maid act" which prohibits females
from being employed in any place
where is liquor is sold, and which was
being attacked as to its constitutional
ty. The lawyers had all assembled in
court this morning to resume argyll
ments, when Judge Buck arose and
said:
Gentlemen, I learned for the first
time last night that my wife was the
author of that bill, and, that being the
case, I will decline to pass upon the
question of it's constitutionality.
The arguments will now have to be
gone over again before one of the other
Judges.

There were but eight of the ten mem
bers of the board present. Jesse Shaw
occupied the chair, with Members Will
son, Wilder, Beck, Powell, Macferran
and, Squires present, and Priddy and
Westertield absent
DIR. Powell favored more time to con-
slider the report before action was taken
and wanted the matter put off until the
next meeting. He was answered by Mr..
they had already been considering the
matter all fall. Mir. Wilson, who has
been in favor of the Excelsior series en-
tire from the start, also spoke in favor of
the Crane readers.
Mrs. Burton. wife of the representa-
tive of the American Book company.
who is in Chicago at present, asked TO
be allowed to say few words This was
granted and she bitterly criticised the
Excelsior readers.
She asked the board not to be governed
by wild talk" of Mr.. Crane, but by the
interests of the children. She said that
the board had a contract with the book
company for Harpers readers and that
there were several hundred of the books
on hand.
Mr.. Squires explained that the board
had determined on the o. c. Hill readers,
but that the American Book company
had substituted Harper's. He did not
consider that they were bound to the
present series.
Mr.. Crane made mild speech in favor
of his books. He said that the Hill
readers were not supplied by
the American Book company be-
cause it had determined not
to furnish that book where it could pos
sibly substitute something else. "My
books have no more errors in them than
the American Book company's," said
Dir. Crane.
DR.. Powell again couuseled delay, but
his motion to defer action a month was
lost, and the vote taken. DR.. Powell
and MIR. Beck voted against adopting
the fourth and fifth Excelsior readers
but the report of the committee was
adopted by the vote of Wilson, Wilder,
Miller, Squires and Macferran.
The board adopted motion by Mr..
Beck to advise the high school committee
to secure a speaker for the midwinter
commencement, instead of having ora
tions by members of the graduating
class.

formers to bring about revolution in
feminine attire. Negligee gowns for
morning wear are made of cashmere.
Powered taffeta silk, French fannels
and crepons, one of the last, in cream
white spotted with white silk dots and
lined with pink or blue silk, being espe-
cially effective. Albatross may be sub
stituted for the silk lining, as it is
cheaper, warmer and almost as pretty.
The more dressy gowns, which aspire
to the dignity of tea gowns, are made of
fancy brocaded silks, velveteens and lib
erty satin. Green and blue lined with
pink are both pretty and gown of april
cot satin is especially attractive, made
quite plain, with large fichu of ivory
white chiffon, edged with lace, covering
the shoulders and crossing in front with
long ends, and fastened down below the
bust and at the waist with rosettes and
straps of ribbon. The vatican back is a
favorite style for tea gowns as we'll as
the more simple morning dress, and the
fullness may be either shirred or laid in
double box plaits across the shoulders.
Cashmere gowns with full fronts of soft
silk are still worn as of old, except that
the deep, square collar of velvet or silk,
bordered with a frill of lace, stamps
them new. A gown illustrated in the
New York Sun, which reports these late
styles, is OF crepon in any of the pet
co1ors and the collar is Of velvet i'll d
darker shade, cut square in the back and
with stole ends in front and trimmed
with applique lace insertion on the edge.
Frills of lace finish the sleeves, and sat
in ribbon ties around the waist.
Breakfast Jackets of founced and
striped taffeta in light and medium
shades are lined warmly with albatross
and cut in a simple straight sack fitted
partially under the arms and drawn
down in few plaits at the waist both
back and front. Wide collars of various
sizes and shapes cover the shoulders and
many of the sleeves are made after the
bishop pattern, with either frills of lace
or a lace trimmed cuff at the waist. The
collars are made of alternate bands of
silk and lace insertion and trimmed on
the edge with lace. The neckband Of
ribbon has a ruf1e of lace and ribbon
ties around the waist.

WAS APATHETIC FUNERAL
Four Boys Buried Dog That Had Been
a Faithful Friend and Companion.

Washington Star: L was walk
ing along the canal the other
day when my attention was at
tracted by a novel funeral procession
Four little boys, the oldest about 10
years of age, and the youngest tod
der of two or three summers, were
crying as though their little hearts
were broken. The Oldest was drawing
small band wagon, which contained
a bundle. Following this were the
other three boys in line. Each had
upon his arm a strip of black Calico
while the wagon was decorated with
the same material. I stopped them
and asked what the matter was. It's
a funeral, SIR said the eldest boy; our
little dog died yesterday" Then lift
ing the little bundle from the wagon
he threw it into the canal, and the four
brothers put their arms around each
other, gave way to grief as real as
any they will ever know, for the dog
was their playmate and they loved him
as they did one another. And as the
boys slowly wendell their ways back
home, I could see that there would be
little play for them that day.
