tIon Against Her Husband,

did not agree, and we have drifted apart
that is all there is to II"
Miss Blair added that she would rather
not confirm or deny the report that her
estrangement from Mr.. Downing was due
to professional jealousy on his part.
There was still another rumor that Miss
Blair would not discuss at all. and that
was that I'm the event of her securing a
divorce she intended to marry the mana
ger of her company.
There seems, however, to be match

duced the play she married Mr. b. p.

New York. Sept. 5.-Driven from her
only shelter, the county jail, penniless
and friendless. 1illie Smith. a pretty girl
OF fifteen years.is wandering In the woods
near Trenton, N. j.
The girls sole offence in the eyes of the
Jail warden was that she was afflicted
with an affection OF the eyes that IL was
feared would prove contagious. For this
she was set outside the Jail gates.
Now the police OF Trenton are securing
the woods for this helpless child. They

She refused 10 say n word about herself.
Police Justice Cook sentenced her to the

there two hours when she told the matron
that her eyes troubled her. The matron
told the warden. The latter in great alarm
lest the sixty prisoners In the Jail become
affected, appealed TO Justice Summers OF
the supreme court. and the latter ordered
her set free.

TO her FATHER.
Baroness Won Kette|er Cables
to Her Father to Take
Her Home.

Detroit, Mich, Sept 5.-"Come to Yoko-
hama for me-" was the cablegram Presi-
dent Henry b. Ledyard of the Michigan
Central railroad received last night. Ever
since June II. when the rumor first reach
ed this country that the foreign lega-
tions In Pekin had been attacked, Presi-
dent Ledyard, whose daughter Maud
married Baron Won Ketteler. the MUIR
dered German minister, has been waiting
for a message from her. Proud. severe
of countenance and outwardly repelient
to overtures either of congratulation or
sympathy. President Ledyard has borne
his burdens alone and patiently.
The message came. Some one must
meet the baroness. President Ledyard
could not go. His son Henry must, but
Henry was TO be married on Thursday to
the daughter of Millionaire Hondrie OF
Hamilton. Steamships for Yokohama
leave once In three weeks. The next one
will leave on Sept. 10 from Vancouver.
President Ledyard became a hustler. The
sailing of the ship could not be delayed.
The wedding could be hastened. 1t was.
Today at noon Henry Ledyard welded
Miss Hendrie, the guests hidden to come
a day in ADVANCE of the ceremony. Presi-
dent Ledyards private car will be at
tached to a Canadian Pacific locomotive.
Sir William Van Horn. in token of his
friendship for Mr.. Ledyard. will then
exercise his power. That car containing
two persons will be rushed westward un-
til IL reaches the transcontinental train
and will be in Vancouver in time to take
the steamship Princess OF China, on
which the bridal couple go TO welcome
the Baroness Won Kettler and escort her
back to the city or her birth.

Central railroad last night switchmen
and brakemen, engineers and conductors.
car cleaners and general managers wore
a broad grin os pleasure because they
had heard the news contained in the five
word cablegram which Maud Ledyard
sent to her father. A little touch OF ma
ture has joined the powerful president of
a great corporation to the lowest paid
employe and they join in an expression
of pleasure. Heretofore they have not
dared to express their sympathy, but they

The statement OF Mrs. Thomas X. Har-
riman in The News that In the work OF
the Rescue Mission she has visited about
600 houses of ill-fame in Providence and
that there are others which she could
not get into. proved TO be the most en-
phatic bomb-shell of the crusade so far.
Women connected with some OF the or
ganIzations which have endorsed the
movement said they were utterly as
bounded at the figures.
"of course. Mrs. Hartman is known
10 us all" said one. ''and her word is ac-
cepted at once and without question. II
she says there are 600 such places that is
all there Is OF IT,"
Mrs Hartman was seen again yester-
day. and expressed no surprise al the as
tonishment which her statement had
caused. She said:
THE women OF Providence can have no
idea OF the extent OF the evil here. Most
OF them have a general idea that there
Is such a district. but they do not realize
how large and how thickly populated the
district Is. The way to begin Is to make
the women of Providence understand that
this is not only real danger, but great
danger.
1t has been suggested to The News that
when II came TO the point OF driving the
inmates OF vicious resorts out of the city.
the people who labor among the fallen
classes In the hope OF lifting them up
would cry out against such an eviction
as cruel and not In line with the pur-
poses OF the rescue missionaries.
IL was pointed out that. like the Saliva
tion Army, the Rescue Mission stands for
the belief that while there is life there is
hope. and that the most reckless follower
OF vice as n profession, can be redeemed.
and that there would be a sentiment In
favor OF keeping the inmates of closed
houses here in Providence, and trying to
make self-repecting women OF them.

LOSS OF JEWELRY
Two Secretaries Of British
Embassy Are Victims Of
Thieves In Newport.

Newport, r. l., Sept. Sit was learned
today that not only has the villa of Mr..
and Mrs. Lloyd Bryce been entered by
burglar but that Mr. w @. Max Null
Ter and Mr.. Herman Norman. two OF the
secretaries of the British embassy In
Washington. had been robbed of valuable
jewelry.
This robbery was committed on Sunday
evening, and II is believed that the same
thief or thieves who entered the Bryce
vi.ia and were frightened of by Miss
Therese Iselin were the perpetrators.
Mr.. Muller and Mr.. Norman occupy
apartments In the second story OF the
Riggs cottage. in Catherine street the
offices being on the first floor. When
they were dining Sunday evening the
thief entered and helped himself to their
small jewelry. including rings and scarf
pins set with precious stones.
II is not known whether the thief
sneaked In at the door or climbed TO the
second story outside the house. No trace
OF the thief has been found yet.

ed the largest number OF members they
have ever had.
The Republican leaders say their plu
rality would have been larger today IL
the weather had not been so fine. They
contend that many farmers who would
have voted II the weather had been bad,
stayed at home yesterday to attend to
their crops.
That is remarkable explanation. but
II Is the one they offer.
The cities generally. there are only
eight municipalities In the state which
cast more than 1000 votes each. did not
show up as strongly for the Republicans
as they did four years ago.
In St Adams. for instance. the Repub-
lican majority Of i5l I'm 's6 was reduced
TO ls5 and a Democratic representative
was elected in the city as well as the
town. St Johnsbury elected a Democratic
representative for the first time I'm 20
years or more. and Burlington also sent
O Democrat 10 the lower mouse OF the
legislature.
Local issues and dissatisfaction with
the Republican nomina tions, had more
than anything else to do with these re-
suits.

ing one month I'm the summer vacation.
otherwise the health of the children
would have been jeopardized.
The expense OF maintaining the system
was very heavy, the cost OF fnel exceed
ing all otner items.
The system was supposed to reduce to
a powder all excreta and to dcodorixo
It, Theoretically II was a great system;
practically II gave the teachers and chill
dren an idea of an iceIess country morgus
In midsummer.
Public health was declared to be men-
accd and red-hot request was made for
the abatement of the nuisance.
The sanitary condition Of the schools,
the entire situation was we'll understood
long before the schools were closed for
the summer vacation, and there was, IN
the judgment of the well informed no
reason why orders for the necessary an
paratus TO supplant the Smead system
should not have been filed prior to June.
CASE OF REORGANIZATION.
The day rolled into weeks. the weeks
merged into months and nothing was
done.
1t was up to supt. Mansfield TO order
the necessary castings.
1t Is declared by gentleman high In
authority, higher even than Supt. Mans
field, that he procrastinated
1t is said that he was urged again aDd
again to give orders for the requisite ma
terial.
II is further declared that there Is no
record In his Office OF the date when he
did give the orders. and that IL called
upon to answer categorically. he would
have TO admit that he did not place his
orders until the last of July or the fitse
OF August and that as consequence the
work OF substituting could not begin un-
ill about three weeks ago.
It is further declared that he made .
bull In giving HIS first order and that
some Of the castings which arrived were
unavailable. causing further delay. Tho
urinai troughs did not arrive until yes
terday.
The cost of replacing the "Smead sys-
tenn" I'm six OF the schools with suitable
sanitary apparatus Will be $4,000. The
cost OF getting rid OF the entire Smead
outfit can therefore readily be discerned.
WHY HE WAS APoINTED.
Superintendent Mansfield supplanted
Philip c. Dnrfee. for the reason that the
latter was thought TO be too expensive In
his work but under Durfee the work was
always done on time at any rate.

1t is the general opinion at City Hall
that the postponement OF the re-opening
of the schools was brought about by Su-
perintendent Tarbeil last night for the
purpose of turning searchlight or Su-
perintendent of Public Buildings Mans
field, who is away behind w.,h his re-
pairs.
The public schools were due to open
next Monday. Instead. they will not re-
ceive pupils until Sept. IL.
Superintendent Tarbell read a commu-
nication to the school committee. last
night, in which he declared that during
the summer vacation the committee on
city property of the City Council had
been making repairs in some of the school
buildings. including the removal of the
"Smesd system" from the Academy ave-
nue., Candace street, Charles street Doyle
avenue, Messer and Peace street schools.
WORK COMMENCED LATE.
Unfortunately" so Mr.. Tarbell ss-
serted, this work was commenced so
late that II will be impossible for IL to be
completed in Academy avenue, Messer
street and Peace In time for the regular
opening of schools and there Is little
probability that II will be finished this
week in Candace street, Charles street
and Doyle avenue"
Mr.. TarbelI further said that this con-
dition would prevent about $500 pupils
from commencing school at the regular
time as fixed by the bylaws, and that the
closing of the six schools for a week
would entail n waste OF sl4S5 In salaries
alone. general Generalization of
school attendance throughout the city
was threatened and to avert this the SUI
perintendent suggested that all OF the
schools be closed for another week and.
that the customary mid-winter vacation
of one week be omitted; also that the
schools close on Wednesday, Dec. c.lsthand
remain so until the end OF Christmas
week.
The school committee accepted and
acted upon Superintendent Tarbelrs rec
ommenda tions.
In fixing the responsibility for this de-
Law. which Is likely To be for longer than
a week I'm the schools under repair. IL Is
necessary to recall that the installation
of the "Smead system I'm the schools OF
this city WAS a job pure and simple.
Under ordinary circumstances IL would
not have been possible TO work the
municipality but there was a combins
ton which acted covertiy. An expose
came at last and John t. Cottreli. the
superintendent Of public buildings was
made the scapegoat and had TO go.
THAT "sMEAD SYSTEM" PLAN.
The "Smead system" cost the city be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 per school. and bar
ring the heating apparatus which goes
with the system. the paraphernalia VIII

ST. Albsns. VT, Sept 5.--The figures Of
the Vermont election show that. COM
pared with the vote Of 1896. when was
held the last state election Immediately
preceding a presidential election. the Re-
publican vote has faHen OF per cent
and the Democratic vote has gained la
per cent.
Very few votes have been cast for
the Prohibition or other candidates.
The total vote this year II about 1000
votes less than ~ was four years ago,
and almost i5,coo more than u was two
years ago. when, Gov. Smith was elected.
The Republicar plurality yesterday was
by far the largest that party has ever
had In this state with the exception Of
1876. when n was 2s5sl. This year the
Republicans expected about 1900 and did
better than that.
The exact composition Of the iegisla-
ture Is not yet known, but the indica-
tions are that the Democrats will have
about the same number OF members
