ure. 1 have finally found the principal
reason" said a prominent theatrical
manager to me. Il firmly believe that
the failure was due, in large measure,
to Mrs. Wards health.
las you probably know, Mrs. Ward
has not been able for years to visit
a playhouse. Now. we have found that
If play taken from a modern novel
is to be successful the author, by his
presence and suggestions, must aid the
manager and the play folk in properly
presenting and catching the spirit of
the characters and the settings Mrs.
Ward was not able to do this
for her manager, and hence, in large
measure, the poor showing of the pro-
duction.'
Mrs. Wards country place at Tring,
England, is one of the finest on the
right little, tight little island, and she
calls it ''the house that David Grieve
bought" Its garden has been under
cultivation, and its lawn has been
carefully cropped every summer for
more than a century.
This magnificent old place adjoins
the country seat of Lord Rothschild.
His son is fond of animals, and has
probably the largest private menagerie
in the world. Among its stars are
two zebras which he drives before a
village cart tandem, greatly to the de-
light of the English country children
In the neighboring villages.
Mrs. Ward is practically an invalid
and does most of her work while ~
ing down.

About this time of year look out
Tor the appearance at police stations
OF members of the Innocent Criminals
and Healthy Invalids' Association.
In other words, now that winter is
at hand, the police are being kept busy
throwing men out of station houses
who, by "confessing' various crimes,
are merly trying to get free lodging
and food in prison for what they prob
aDly look forward to as as a long, hard
winter. And cases are not rare in
which men have committed minor
crimes for the purpose of securing
support at the hands of the public.

The man was insulted, angry and

at the justice and remarked:
'All right-I'll do something that
will get me ten years before night.
OF course he was locked up.

HERDS WIDOW IN POVERTY.
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont Is Aged,
Poor and lnfirm.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, daugn-
ter of Thomas Hart Benton, Missouri's
greatest statesman, widow of General
John C.. Fremont, THE Pathfinder"
is i'll and needy in her home near Los
Angeles, California, Notwithstanding
the fact that he government of this
great country owes her something like
$500 For nearly forty years the
Fremont claim for this money has
been before the government, The jus
tice of the claim is admitted by all who
have looked into it, but the claim de-
partment of the government moves
slowly and ponderously, like the chan
Gerry court of England, ridiculed by
Dickens in his story of BLEAK House."
and the case of ~Jarndyce VS.. ~Jarndyce.
General Fremont died before his claim
received anything like just recognition
and the widow may die before it is
settled. The story of the claim in
brief is:
In 1860 General Fremont bought land
at Point San Jose on the Bay of San
Francisco, paid 100000 for it and built
a house on it. In 1863 the government
seized the land and built Notifications
upon it. 1t is yet used by the govern
ment for military purposes. The gov
eminent lever paid General Fremont
for the property and al these years the
claim has been pushed vigorously. A
leading title guaranty company of San
Francisco says that the legal title to
the land rests in Mrs. Fremont and the
Legislature of California adopted a
joint memorial and resolution recently
asking congress to pay her for it. Rep
resentative Baird, of California, has in
troduced a bill in this congress provid-
ing for her reimbursement, but there
are so many important things to be
settled by this congress during its
short session that it is doubtful if the
Fremont claim is reached at all.
James b. Cotton of this city is a
warm friend of Mrs. Fremont as he
was of her husband. He visited her
last winter at her nome. Mr.. Cotton
was one of the pioneers of California
of 40. He wrote recently to President
Roosevelt outlining the Fremont claim
and asking him to aid her in any man
ner he deemed best. Mr.. Cotton re-
ceived a letter in reply from the presi-

dents secretary, which said, among
other things:
The president has already made
inquiries concerning the matter, and is
informed that the AND in question was
forcibly taken possession of by the
commanding general of the depart
ment of California in 1868, Mrs. Ere
monts tenant being elected and was
used for the construction of harbor
defenses. While the matter does not
come within the duties of the executive
department, the president is informed
that a bill is now before congress
claiming $4,000 for the widow of
General Fremont. Should this come
before the president for his official ac
ton it will have his careful c~onsidera-
ton"
Mr.. Cotton wrote to Mrs. Fremont

ter. and asking what progress was
making in the erection of a statue of
her husband by the California Pion-
GERS society of New York. This statue
was designed by Mrs. Clio Hinton
