CARRIES HER HUSBANDS ASHES.
Helen Bertram, of the Bostonians, Wears
Them Suspended From Her Neck.

Helen Bertram, the prma donna CT
the Bostonians, carries the ashes of
her late husband, E. j. Henley. with
her in a chamois bag in all her travels.
She wears them in a pouch of the
yellOwish leather suspended by a gold
chain from her neck.
Sleeping or waking, she always wears
the bag containing her husbands ashes
close to her heart. She says she could
not sing nor act nor dance if it were
not for the gentle pressure of that pre-
cious bag.
Edward ]. Henley died in October
The burial service was read by Dr.
George G. Houghton in that sanctu-
airy beloved of actors, the Little Church
Around the Corner. In accordance
with his wishes his remains were Gre
mated. His widow. at first intended
to have the ashes kept in silver urn
in the Little Church Around the -or-
ner. She even ordered and paid for
the urn-one of choicest silver in classic
design. When she was about to leave
New York to travel with her company
she told her friends that it would break
her heart to leave her husbands ashes
behind.
Il would feel as though Ted were with
me if l could take them she said. Her
friends objections were not as strong
as her WILL and when the prima donna
began her travels the. chamois bag and
its precious contents went with her.
The affection and cOnstancy of the
Henleys We're as proverbial as that of
the model stage couple, the Kendals.
Mr.. Henley was proud of and devoted
to his young wife. " Mrs. Henley was
tenderfy fond of her husband. There
was never a ripple to mar the joyful
serenity of their matrimonial sea.
The Bostonians and the Alice Nelson
, opera company recently played in Phil
adelphia at the same time. The princi-
pals of both companies stayed at the
Walton house. A warm friendship
sprang up between Alice Nelson, the
star of one, and Helen Bertram, the
prima donna of the other.
In a midnight after-the- performance
tete-a-tete in Miss NELSON'S room E. ].
Henley's widow showed the channels
bag and its grim contents to the star.
Miss Bertram patted the bag thought
fully. Then she opened it and took a
bit of the grayish ash in her fingers.
I'll give you some of these ashes,
Alice" she said solemnly. "It will
bring you luck, because / know that if
poor Ted had lived he would have
wished you luck
She sprinkled some of the ashes be
fore Miss Nelson's bed. The star. as
superstitious as the rest of her profess
sion was frightened almost into hys-
terra. The maid sleeps in the same
room with her mistress to protect her
from poor Ted" Henley's ashes.

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
A Negro Galena Street Woman Has ;
Very Close Call.

"A negro Galena Street Woman Has a
Very Close Call.
Pearl Woods, colored Galena street
woman, was murderously assault
ed in her den at 81 East Galena
street about o'clock yesterday by a
man supposed to be her lover, but
whose identity the police have been I'M
able to learn, as the woman refuses
to divulge it. She is very slightly in
jured, but that does not appear to be
due to any lack of intention on the
part of her assailant. Very little has
been learned by the police concerning
the matter. All the woman would say
was that about o'clock the man, who
she says is her friend, came to her
house and demanded SIS, which she re-
fused to give him, and he seized her
and threw her on the bed, and, drawing
a gun, fired point blank at her. He
then ran out of the house. going to-
ward Main street He is said to have
entered the Turf Exchange saloon, but
from there no trace of him has been
found.
The woman thought or said she did,
that she had been shot, and set up a
howl A Miss Rose. living next door,
went in and helped her dress. and she
then went to DR.. Halls office to have
her wound attended to. There was no
doubt a shot was fired. as the pillow
case was powder burned and the room
was filled with powder smoke when the
police arrived, but Dr. Hall does not
think the woman was shot. He found
scalp wound on the left side of the
head at the back, but it was clearly a
laceration and not bullet wound. 1t
is supposed that the shot missed and
the womans assailant then struck her
with the gun.
The woman positively refuses to
give the police any information as to
who the man was, as she said he was
drunk and not responsible, and she did
not care to have him arrested. The
man is said to be white man, and the
police think they know where he is, as
white man who is said to have been
the woman's lover at one time had been
heard to threaten that he would kill
her. From this the police also think
a murder was attemnted
