MATINEE GIRL CHATS WITH

There Is one member Of stock COM

success OF every performance, the assist
ant stage manager. The outside world

Penni|ess, but Found $500
Life Insurance Policy.

New York. April 3O.--Believing herself
destitute and dependent for her future
support upon the generosity OF neighbors
and friends. Mrs. Mary l.. Collins was
overjoyed 10 find. on Saturday evening

ing 10 her dead son. valued at $500.
She had never heard Of the policy, and
did not know It's value when she found IL
tucked away among a lot OF old papers in
satchel Mrs. Collins is now seventy
three years old and lives al 4iO West 12ith
street with her unmarried sister, Miss
Cuthbert Frederic Collins, her son, died
on Wednesday last OF blood poisoning
while In Scranton, Pa. with the Boston
ian Opera company, OF which he had
been a member for the last four years.
He had been the sole support of his
mother and aunt, and all the money that
he had laid aside was used TO pay for
comforts needed when he was Ill. He
left his mother penniless. The Bostonans
sent her $500 and the Harlem Occidental |
club, OF which he was a member, gave
her SEQ. Several bills were due to store
keepers In the neighborhood, and the flu
neral expenses were 70 be paid out of this
money.
Returning from Evergreen cemetery,
plot there, Mrs. Collins bewailed the fact
that her support was taken from her.
Rummaging through her sons satchel,
she came across the insurance policy,
which was taken out on February IL last.
She did not believe II was OF any value,
but when Daniel f. Dowling. the presi-
dent OF the Harlem Occidental club call
ed TO ofrer her the contribution OF the
club, she showed IL 10 him.
He took IL yesterday 20 the home office
OF the insurance company and learned
that the policy was worth $500. Collins
had not paid any premium on IL, but had
given his note, good for ninety days, to
pay for the first quarter. which was as
good as cash. The amount of the first
years premium will be deducted from
the value of the policy and given TO the
mother OF the dead man today.

which had come TO her the old lady al
