CLARA MORRIS PLAYS
TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Clara Morris.
once famous as an emotional actress and
lately well known as a writer and lee
turer is threatened with eviction from
the house which has sheltered her for
twenty-five years. Miss Morris. or Mrs.
Harriet. as she is known in private life.
is now confined to her bed. suffering
from nervous prostration, brought on by
the failure Of a lecture tour which she
undertook in the hope Of raising money
TO satisfy a $1,000 mortgage against her
home near Mount St Vincent
II would seem as IL misfortune. which
blighted the latter years OF Edwin For
rest. has also marked the last years OF
the actress. whose house stands on land
which the tragedian owned. In the hope
OF finding a place where he might end
his days in peace, Forrest bought a tract
OF land overlooking the Hudson. and
there built a house. which was a mlnia-
ture Of the iII-fatcd abbey erected by
the eccentric author OF ''Vathek" The
English original Of the Forrest house
fell into ruins. The fabric OF the actor s
domestic happiness was destroyed. and
the place which he believed he would
love he despised
Hoped to End Days There.
The house was sold for a small con-
sideration. and Il still stands on the
grounds Of the convent, at Mount St.
Vincent A part OF the Forrest estate
was purchased by Thomas Cornell. who
built a dwelling. which. in 1877. was sold
to Mrs. Harriott. II was her hope that
she might end her days in this house.
The house has been the scene Of many
Christmas celebrations, and in fits rooms
were frequently gathered those less for
tunate than the actress. who we're en-
tertained with Yuletide cheer. This last
Christmas was observed by Mr. and
Mrs. Harriott. but had little semblance
to those OF the old times. Many OF the
actress friends, however, sent tokens
and cards to remind her that hey were
thinking Of her. for she knows nothing
Of the impending financial disaster. Ow-
ing 10 the fact that she had paid the
interest on the comparatively small
mortgages on the house she thinks there
is no danger OF foreclosure.
In her professional life Miss Morris
was successful and earned large sums
of money. She gave. however. literally
to help others. Her husband said yes
terday that she had been lender all
her life instead Of a borrower. and that
in consequence when the time had come
for her to borrow she found there was
none to lend. He recalled a Christmas
morning several years ago when his wife
had heard OF the suicide OF a policeman
whom they knew.

gone out TO arrange a benefit for the

despair because there was a 81 .000 mort
gage on his house which he could not
pay. The benefit was given. with the re-
suit that the mortgage was paid In full.
