POOR BETTY oRDWAY.
The Unfortunate Actress Again an
Inmate OF Bellevue.

New York, April 11.-Bettina Girard,
the daughter of the late General Ord
way, of Washington. an actress whose
short but a checkered career has been
the cause of unending talk, is once more
in Bellevue, q victim of her Nemesis, al
cohol. She was taken there yesterday
morning in q closed cab and smuSgled
into the hospital by woman who gave
her name as Mrs. BoXelei. also of No. 2U9
West Forty-third Street.
The actress was placed in her old ward,
No 90 the ward where in November.
1897, she became reconciled TO her mother
and father, and promised faithfully that
if she were given strength TO regain her
feet she would never again touch alcohol
1t is said that Phil Schuyler forsook
her Saturday night.
Whether the desertion followed Bet
tina's resumption of drink or whether
that was caused by the deSertiOn is not
known. The greatest secrecy surrounds
her introduction into the hospital and the
circumstances leading up TO it.
Few women on the stage have attract
ed in the same length of time the adula-
ton that in times gone by accorded to
Bettina Girard. Socially her career
might have been a brilliant one. In
Washington the Ordways We're well
known and liked. Bettina. convent edu-
Gated swept bravely through society, nor
paused until she had done things that if
they did not shock, at least surprised.
She married Arthur Padelford of Phila-
delphia only to be divorced within three
months. Il was then that she took to the
stage and after that matrimonial ven
lures followed so quickly that even her
friends could hardly follow them. She
married Jack Rafael then Harrison
Wolf, then William Beach, and last Of
all Phil Schuyler.
DIR. Lee said today that the actress
condition was not as serious as when she
was in the hospital before and that he
believed she would recover with rest and
care.
