Clara Morris Threatened with Loss
of Her Home.
Large sums Earned In Her Profession
Were Given Away, Others Lost
by Making EnJudiciOus
Money Investments.

Eviction from the house which has
sheltered her for 25 years now threat
ems Miss Clara Morris (Mrs. Harriot),
emotional actress and writer. She is
unable to leave her bed on account of
an attack of nervous prostration,
which followed the close of an unsuc-
cessful lecture tour, which she under
took in the hope of saving her home,
near Mount Vincent, n. T., from being
sold to satisfy $4,000 mortgage.
1t seems as if misfortune, which
blighted the latter years of Edwin
Forrest, 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 tract of land overlooking the
Hudson, and there built a house, which
was a miniature of the Inflated Abb
hey erected by the eccentric author
of "Vathek."
The English original Of the Forrest
house fell into ruins. The fabric of
the actors domestic happiness was
destroyed and the place which he be-
lieved he would love he despised.
The house was sold for a small con-
sideration, and it still stands on the
grounds of the convent of 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. Harriet. 1t was her
hope that she might end her days in
this house.
In her professional life. Miss Morris
was successful and earned large sums
of money. She gave largely, however,
to help others. Her husband said re-

nreaiSinE Family Tic.

There is something pathetic in the
figure of the shah of Persia just now.
a sort Of wistful, lonesome, homesick
something, as that figure is presented
to the view of the world at large.
This is due to the fact that the cable
news reports that he has just reduced
the number of his wives from / 100 to
60, and all Persia is dumfounded at
what is regarded as the breaking up
of happy family circle. Just imagine
how solitary and neglected man must
feel who has been accustomed to the
ministrations Of LOO wives, and who
is now reduced to the desolation of
60! 1t is small wonder that his people
are protesting at such revolutionary
step. They have been accustomed to
be ruled by family men, and to the
Persian way of thinking. a shah with
90 wives is much more Of bachelor
than = benedict.

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.
"She refused" said Mr.. Harriet, "to
open her Christmas presents until
had gone out to arrange a benefit for
the family of the man. He killed him
self in despair because there was a
81, 400 mortgage on his house, which
he could not pay. The benefit was
given, with the result that the mort
gage was paid in full. My wife is pos
sessed of a spirit which would prevent
her from asking assistance from any
one. Had it not been for the fact that
her lecture tour was failure-and 1t
might have been a SUCCESSIVE obli-
cation might have been paid. Mrs.
Harriet has suit against the man
who managed it."

81 regret exceedingly" said Mr..
Seybel, mot on my account, but for the
sake of Mrs. Harriet, that the news
papers should see fit to exploit a pri.
yate business transaction. Mrs. Har-
riot three years ago gave the company
a second mortgage Of $1,000. The
company does not usually take second
mortgages, but in this case it took the
pledge to oblige banking institution,
the name of which l do not care to
give, which held q first mortgage for
$500. Our mortgage fell due last
September. Mrs. Harriet paid the in
terest up to that time and asked that
the time be extended Mrs. Harriet
made various promises that the money
would be paid, but the principal was
not paid and as there seemed to be
no prospect Of getting the money we
have taken such legal action as we
deemed necessary to protect our in
terests.
There should be no reason why Mrs.
Harriet should be left penniless by
this proceeding, for she should have
good equity in the property, which is
worth $5O,oOO The action of the com
pany is purely business proceeding,
unmixed with sentiment"

| lieutenant that he sowed his wild
oats. 1t was his custom to disappear
from Munich or some army post every
now and then, proceed to Paris or
some other equally gay city and have
a registering time with other young
blades and the concert hall favorites
| of the time.
On the occasion OF the maneuvers Of
/ the German army at Metz in 1898 the
prince left Munich to join his regiment
at the rendezvous, there to meet the
German emperor. He did not arrive
at Metz, and a search disclosed him in
the company of a young woman at
Wurtemberg. For this he was sent to
a lonely army post and ordered to be
good.
Prince Carl, Prince Rupert's young
er brother, was as wild as his brother
and was one time set upon marrying
a ballet girl, morganatically, thereby
following the example Of a rich kins-
man, Duke Ludwig, who, at 60 and a
widower, married Antoine Barth, a
ballet girl, daughter of Munich me-
chanic, with whom he is very happy.
Prince Luitpold thwarted the plan,
bat did not prevent the two from elop-
ing. They were caught in a secluded
retreat in the Alps and were returned
to Munich.
Prince Rupert married Duchess
Marie Gabrielle, daughter of Duke
Charles Theodore Of Bavaria, head of
one branch of the Bavarian family, in
July, 1900, the affair being a notable
state celebration at Munich.
The princess, who is the daughter
of the duchess of BraganGa, daughter
of the king of Portugal, is known as
one of the most beautiful women in
the realm. She is also very good and
charitable and has succeeded in re-
forming her husband.
1t is understood that the prince and
princess will travel through the Unit
ed States incognito, which will, of
course, preclude any official recogni-
ton of the visit on the part of the
United States government.
