n. j., where Leonhard owns house.
They were ,Narried thirty years ago on
their return from Constantinople. where
they had gone TO do missionary work.
Nothing occurred to mar their marital
happiness until 1895. Then. according 10
Mrs. Leonhard, her husbands love began
TO cool and he trested her with less con-
sideration than she believed she was en-
titled TO.
Having agreed that they could no long
er be happy together articles OF separa-
ton were drawn up and signed by both.
Leonhard agreed TO give his wife $40 .
month on condition that she would con-
tinue to occupy the Ridgefield house. In
October. 1900, Leonhard had change OF
heart.
He insisted that she should live with
him. and when she refused he ordered her
out of the Ridgefield house. Then he
sued her for separation, alleging deser-
tion.

Pitney when he learned OF the sitaIa-

WHITE RAT
GAVE UP
Fight.
When Arrested for Breach Of
Contract He Weakened, Set
tied and Left Town.

Worcester Mass, March C.--Tho first
legal clasn between the White Rats and
vaudeville managers has occurerd; and
this city was the scene late Monday af-
ternoon. The result is alleged TO be
convincing demonstration that the ''ro-
dents" who have struck have deliberately
violated their legal contracts. and that
they have thereby rendered themselves
liable TO the law IN such cases provided.
The outcome OF this first clash was
complete victory for the manager, who
then generously turned round and let the
rat on with a small payment.
James Richmond Glenroy. 'the man
with the green gloves" was engaged al
the Park Theatre for the wock beginning
Monday morning, and was to appear
about 4:so In the afternoon At $3.50. he
stated that he would DO his turn at the
specified time; but at { O'Clock he told the
stage manager that he was too ill TO 20
SO. and walked out OF the theatre.
Manager Wilton Immediately swore out
"A warrant; and after some search the Of
ficor found Glenroy In n saloon, appar-
emily In good spirits and health. He was
placed under arrest. and city Physician
Clark was called to examine him. tn
doctor pronounced Glenroy in good health
and I'm every respect able 20 give his
performance according To contract,
his only ailment being n bad case OF what
has come TO be known In the theatrical
profession as 'rodcntla'
Then Glenroy weakened, and begged
for mercy, Offering 10 go on with his act
or to make any compromise within his
power. Finally, Manager Wilton agreed
TO accept $50 and costs. which amounted
10 S62 In all. which Glenroy promptly paid
and hustled out OF town as soon as he
could get train.
In connection with this incident. Il Is
announced here that quite a number
more OF the leading White Rat head
liners" have resigned from that body. and
have affixed their signatures 10 contracts
with the Managers association, prominent
among whom are Milton and Dolly No
bles.

AUDUBON As A FROG FARMER.

Perhaps the first venture in frog farming
ever made an tho United States or I'm the
world was early in the last century.
at Henderson, Ky, hy John j.. Audubon.
the celebrated ornlthologist. Descending
the ohio River from Pennsylva MIA, I'm
q little steamer OF his own. he stopped
al various points 20 secure specimens of
then little known birds, life size and color
pictures of which afterward' appeared TN
his great work Birds OF America says
the Lexington Leader While at Hender-
son. which he made his home for some
time. he built mill and arranged TO
raise frogs on large scale. preparing for
that purpose a pond about half a mile
from the river. The frogs multiplied won
derfully. and on warm summer evenings
Audubon woald sit under a tree near the
pond listening 70 the grand concerts put
up by his pets, and calculating the
amount 90 money he would derive from
the sale o. the grown frogs. which he
purposed taking down 20 New Orleans In
his boat
But Audubon's grand scheme was dissi-
'ated one night, The frogs had become
early grown, and hearing the' booming OF
,ullfrogs I'm the ohio. their curiosity was
aroused Hopping out OF the pond they
hoped their way 10 the Ohio. into which
they plunged and disappeared This ended
Audubons frog farm.
Another good story was told TO me Of
Audubon about twenty years ago, when
was Gt Henderson. For hours he pursued
o bird commonly known as the yellow
hammer which was new enc 10 him.
Finally the bird entered hole up IN
the body OF a dead tree. Audobon pulled
of his cont and climbed the tree. firmly
convinced that he could get the bird
There was another hole near the one
that the bird entered. Into this hole Au-
dubon put his hand. and out gided a

BOLD AS IT WAS SIMPLE.

The mode OF procedure was simple
Boyer. who was formerly police SER
geant. runs a detective agency az NO. 320
Broadway. He also runs the New York
Anti-Vice Society at the same place.
Lawyer Lavcne has an office there, too
The society hired Charles Gomprecht and
Joseph Connolly detectives OF the agency,
20 get evidence against saloons. LaVens
formulated the evidence and drew up
petition 10 the supreme court for the re-
vocation OF the license In question.
The justice ia duty bound. the papers
being regular. and Lavene, as a lawyer.
being an officer OF the court. granted an
order 20 show cause.
SO far il was all correct. The next step,
an Illegal one. was for young Boyer, usu-
ally, 10 serve the papers on the saloon
keeper The latter would be confronted
with the possible loss of his license, which
cost $780,, and OF being debarred from
renewal for five years, besides the for
feiture of "a bond for $1,000
The offer 60 settle for two or three
hundred dollars was held out 90 him, but
no one but Boyer and Lavene know how
many times that offer was accepted. as
no record is kept OF the orders 10 show
cause until the matter comes up for ar
gument, or before a referee
The case o. sohn Steitz. No. III Bowery.
is a good illustration Of the willingness
OF the average saloon keeper To avoid
trouble. Steitz was served with the usual
order TO show cause. He saw Boyer, who
wanted 500 TO drop the proceedings.
