THE CATAFALaUE FRINGE.

1t Had to He Made Especially for the
Occasion.
When 1t was learned by Sergeant-at-
arms Ransdell that the remains of the
President would be removed from the ro-
tunda of the Capitol at o'clock this even
ing change was made in the catafalque,
which had previously been arranged with
a view of providing light during the even
ing so that the remains could be viewed by
the public up to midnight if necessary.
But the change in the arrangement caused
him to remove the canopy that had been
built over the base on which the casket
was to rest. and which was provided with
a cluster of electric lights, so that the fea-
lures of the dead President could be clearly
seen. The removal of the canopy left the
catafalque In appearance exactly as it was
when used on the occasions of the funerals
of Presidents Lincoln and Garfield and
other distinguished statesmen who have
been laid in state in the rotunda of the
Capitol.
When the preparation of the catafalque
to receive the remains of the President was
begun yesterday morning it was discovered
that no store or undertaken in this city had
in stock the kind of black fringe tassels
and rope that 1t was desired should be used
in it's ornamentation. Mr.. G. r. thinner
man. an employe of the Senate for more
than a quarter of century, was given
charge Of the work. he having performed
similar duty on the occasions of the
funerals Of Garfield and Logan. He insisted
that only one kind and quality of fringe
should be used, and a representative of
Woodward & Lothrop was sent to Balti-
more to find 1t. Failing to get it there, he
went to Philadelphia to the factory from
which samples of the fringe had come.
Even the factory did not have it in stock,
and, as no substitute for 1t would be con-
sidered, four looms were started running to
manufacture the needed article. By G
o'clock the fringe had been woven and
the agent sent for 1t was on q train bound
for this city. BY midnight the eatafalque
was completed.

Protest Against Opening the Theater..

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I believe 1 voice the sentiment of 90 per
cent of the people of Washington in, pro-
testing against the opening Of the theaters
on Monday night last. when the remains of
President Mckinley were brought from
Buffalo to the capital of the nation. / have
heard hundreds Of people condemn the ac-
tion of the theater managers who kept their
houses open in no uncertain tone. They
were righteously indignant. This was
President McKinley's home for more than
twenty years, and at the time Of his death
he was resident of Washington, temper
ary, 1t is true Aside from this, his death,
we must all regard. irrespective of political
feeling, as q great national calamity, and
one which touches the hearts of his coun-
trymen- 1t b not. In my opinion, nor do
believe 1T IL the opinion Of 90 per cent of
the citizens of Wasfington. that during the
time the remains of the beloved President
were at his last home that any place of
amusement should be kept open. I hope
the theater managers Of Washington will

STORY BEHIND HER SUIT.
When Success Came to Her Husband
This Woman Was Divorced.
New York JOurnalO

Out of a suit for $25, 900 arrears in ali
mony comes the story of a romance of
twenty years ago, in which a college
student and a pretty girl figured, fol-
lowed by tale of hardship, poverty,
adventure and divorce, and finally a
stubborn fight in the courts over part
of an unexpected fortune, involving a
knotty problem in law.
The question to the Jurisdiction of
two states as well as the tnany other
EQUITABLE questions in this remarka bic
case viii come UP for final settlement
before the supreme court of the United
States next month.
Mrs Mary Wright Lynde of Trenton,
n. j., is the plaintiff. and Charles Yves
ley Lynde of Patchogue L. l. is the
defendant in the action which is to re-
cover alimony due under a decree Of
the court of chancery of New Jersey.
subsequently affirmed by several other
courts.
Charles Wesley Lynde, who is now
about AZ years old, is the son of the late
Charles RoIlin Lynde. d Brooklyn law
yer, who died in August, 1894 The
senior Lynde's family was one of the
oldest in New England. During the
war he was an officer on the Kearsage.
His wife was the daughter of George
Wesley Harper, a member of the firm
of Harper Brothers. Their married
AiAC was IOl Happy NIL hynut WAS
fond of society and gaiety. The in
evitable clash came and there was
divorce.
Charles Lynde went to Princeton in
1877 and was graduated in 1881. In
stead of studying law ca going into
some business, as his facher wished, he
enlisted in the United States army and
served for three years in the Seventh
cavalry. The wild life of the plains
suited him, but his father thought that
the young mans Whim should have run
its course, and he insisted on his return
east.
During Lynde's stay at Princeton he
met Mary Yard Wright of Trenton.
She was the daughter of Judge Wright
Of Trenton.
While Lyndc was serving Uncle Sam
the young girl had become a society
revisited Trenton that he should again
meet her and fall in love with her.
Lynde was good looking and had a
touch of romance about him.
Lynde's parents opposed the match,
but in spite of all objections they were
married in March, 1884.
Trouble soon came. Mrs. Lynde had
been brought up in every luxury, and
expected that her husband would pro-
vide for her as literally as her father
had done. But she was disappointed
Lyndes studies at Princeton and his
service as cavalryman had not
taught him the secret of making money
out of nothing, and had not even
taught him a trade.
There was scarcely anything that he
was not willing to do, but there was
scarcely anything that he could do.
He worked for a while in HewittS
iron works in Trenton, and then Frank
Mcgowan gave him job at $12 a week.
His father aided him, too, but strive as
he would it was uphill work making
both ends meet Two children, both
boys, were born to him, and the load
became heavier, the burden of debt and
responsibility increasing day by day.
Finally, in 1887, a Job was offered to
him in some iron works located N West

tavorite, so that he was familiar with
the facts in the case.
After due deliberatiOn be decided that
she might apply at any time in the
chancery court for REASONABLE aiimony-
me decision was an unusual one be-
ing, in fact, the first on the subject, and
attracted wide attention Under it
Mrs Iynde was granted alimonv at the
rate of $50 a week
Lynde contested this order and APP
pealed to the court of errors and ap-
peals, the highest court in New Jersey.
Mrs. LynGe was again the winner. but
as her former husband had become a
citizen OF New York, she was Obliged to
carry the war into the enemy's camp
and appeal to the courts in this state.
Shortly before the case came before
Justice WilmOt Smith for cOnsidera-
ton. Lynde had married Mrs Sarah
Armstrong of Stamford, Conn. This
changed the aspect of the case for
Lynde had hitherto claimed that as he
had not been served with the "a perS IN
the divorce suit or in the application
Tor alimOny the proceedings were ille-
gal. especially as the New Jersey courts
mad no Jurisdiction over him.
In his decision Judge Smith said the
New Jersey court had acquired juris-
diction, and called attention to the fact
that Lynde had himself recognized the
validity of the original decree by re-
marrying. The judgment against him
was affirmed.
Lynde then appealed to the appellate
division of the supreme court, and was
beaten once more.
IN fight as long as there is a court
in the United States to fight in he
said, and told his lawyer. George s
IngTaham of Brooklyn. TO take the case
to the court of appeals. To the court
of appeals the case of Lynde VS.. Lynde
was taken The result was the usual
one-Mrs. Lynde won.
Are there any more courts ?"' asked
Lynde of his legal adviser.
The supreme court of the United
States. replied the lawyer
Let's go there. said Lynde, and his
wishes were carried out.
Both Mr.. Lynde and his first wife
have now settled down in their respeC-
tive homes to wait with as much pa
thence as they may command the de-
cision from Washington. TT viii be a
final one There can be 30 appeal from
it.
If the lower courts are affirmed Mrs.
Lynde viii receive about 1000 in
cash. to secure payment of which Mr..
Lynde has deposited security in this
city by order of the court. and $50 a
week for every week as Ions as her
former husband lives.
When Lynde first settled at Patch
OgUe he lived in a cottage that was little
better than Il Shanty. Last year he
built a handsome house. where he and
his wife are now settled.
Lynde is a thin, weather-beaten man
of ~ years.
