The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-07-24
This and That
Mere and There

in appearance. AT the corner stone cere-
monies at the NJ. E. church Saturday af-
ternoon, he prefaced his remarks with a
characteristic review of conditions as he
surveyed them. Senator Clark had just
finished his address, in which he referred
to the times when the preachers used to
hold forth in Loebers hall. This remark
was not caught clearly by the presiding
elder, but he thought he had it: and
when he arose to address the assembly
he agreed with the senator. Said he
brothers, it is just my friend, Sem
ator Clark has said. In the early days
the ministers of the gospel used to preach
in overalls didn't We. Brother Clark
anc then the crowd laughed aloud. The
good parson had understood Senator
Clark to say that the ministers preached
in overalls, when in fact he had said
"Loeber hail.
The following clipping from an ex-
change. was handed to a Standard re-
porter yesterday by an insurance man.
with the remark: THE fellow who wrote
that knows a thing or two about the bus
mess"
Every reasonable precaution should be
used as a protection against damage to
property. A false idea obtains with some
people that when an insured house is
burned down the loss is alone sustained
by the insurance company. 1t is true it
pays the risk, yet the money comes in
directly from all the people in the city
carrying policies. Every place of prop
erty insured is based upon the risk ia
ken. The more fires We have--the greater
the loss of property-the higher the rate
of insurance. These are stubborn facts.
Fire insurance organizations are not COM
posed of fools. but business men. If we
have but few fires we can obtain low
rates: while if fires are frequent the prem
iur will be correspondingly raised. Hence,
it is the duty of every property owner
to guard against fires as though the COM
pany that carries his risk was a fraternal
organization"
1t would appear that Harry Corson
Clarke and T. Daniel Frawley, both of
whom are well known in Butte and Ana
conda, as well as in other parts of the
literary and dramatic world. are on OPP
poste sides of a barbed-wire fence. Fraw-
ley calls Clarke reptile and charges the
latter with being the originator of the
report that the former is welded to
Blanche Bates 1t will be remembered
that a similar report gained currency in
Butte and Anaconda several years ago.
Miss Bates kept the wires hot for a day
and a night with denials of the report.
Later Clarke had bit of concern over
tho action of bill poster in Anaconda.
just before he boarded the train for Butte.
1t was q misunderstanding. The bill
poster rushed into a justices office and
swore to a complaint. and later an at
tachment was levied on the actors bag
gage. 1t was a storm of brief duration,
however, as Clarke soon arranged things
and the bill poster went his way smiling.
Clarke bought the white seal, and Als
friends enjoyed his hospitality for few
hours. Clarke told what happened to
Jones. in his own peculiar and interest
ing style, off the stage. The part that
these two actors have had Experiences
in Butte will serve to add interest to the
following skit from the San Francisco
Chronicle:
when he speaks about his alleged mar
rage to Blanche Bates and of that rep
tile,' Harry Corson Clarke. who sent
congratulations to Tim T. Daniel Fraw
ley separates himself from his temper,
doubles his fists and expresses his opinion
of some people and a few things through
clenched teeth. Blanche Bates dismisses
the absurd report with an airy 'Poot!
NONSENSE
Yesterday Frawley was so angry that
he lost his sense of proportion and OBJ
jected seriously to the newspaper report
which said that his curving nostril emit
ted fame like the mythical dragon.
IN this respect he thought he had been
misrepresented and apparently he was.
Frawley did not emit any flame from his
curving nostril; he couldn't do it if he
tried. If he could, he would not need to
work at the theatrical business, but would
be profitable side-show attraction all
by himself. Flaming nose or not, Frawley
was burning with wrath when he required
to the odious name. of Harry Corson
Clarke.
That man. he said, lis, I am sure,
| the only real enemy l have. He has tried
| in many ways to annoy and malign me.
| So long as what he did and said con-
| cerned myself alone l took no notice of
him. But this is a devilish method of
| attempting to vent his spleen on me by
involving the name of a woman. The
| trouble began with Clarke almost as
| soon as I engaged him for a tour in the
| East We opened in Washington last
April. and because 1 did not have him
| in the bill the first week he objected,
| and one thing followed another until l
| hal to kick him out of the theater. Then
| he began a series of petty attempts to
| injure me, but | passed them all over
until this hateful business.
~ say that we are not married. Is
| that not enough? If people want to be
| leve Clarke l have nothing further to
say. 1t would not have been possible
| for Miss Bates and myself to go any
where on this continent and be married
without the facts leaking out in some
| way
"A question as to Clarke's whereabouts
| made Frawley blaze.
~ don't know where he is snapped
| the actor. I wish he Were in -.
when Miss Bates talked about the
story of her alleged marriage to Fraw-
ley. she said some things that reflected
in a general way about the advantages
of a marriage with Frawley, and added
| that she was waiting for the millionaire
whom she might meet some day,
Now Frawley talks as if marriage even
| with Miss Bates was not sufficiently al
| Turing. He says:
| The fact is that I like my freedom
| too we'll to marry. Besides, l am toe
much of a crank to marry. I like tC
come and go as l please, and the thought
of matrimony has not entered my
| head
Miss Bates repeats what she said il
| the beginning-that she is not married
and has no intention of Complicating
her career by any such depression. Be
