Mrs. Gladys Renshaw. one Of the women
named by Mira. Archibald Watt In her affi-
davit when she began suit for separation
from her husband, has brought suit in the
City Court to recover from Mr.. Watt $1,000
which. she alleges, she spent in travelling
around the country at Mr.. Watts lawyers
request soon after Mrs. Watt began suit.
In Mrs. Watts affidavit she alleged that
her husband entertained women on his
yacht, and mentioned one occasion when,
she declared, two women and two or three
men were on board until A. NJ. One Of
the women, she alleges. was Mrs Renshaw.
Mrs Renshaw is "a years old. and says
she has been an actress and dancer under
the name Of Gladys Elliot. She says that
she met Mr. Watt in 1868 ct dinner and
that he called on her the next day at her
home, Thereafter, she says. they saw
each other frequently.
Mr.. Watt often took her driving and to the
theatre, she says and she often went home
with him and sat in his laboratory while he
worked at different devices which he had
on Mr. Watts yacht, according to Mrs.
, Renshaw. but neither on board nor at the
house did she ever see Mrs. Watt.
Just after Mrs. Watt brought suit, said
Mrs Renshaw, Il saw that she was dra gging
in my name, and telephoned to Mr.. Shaw,
Watts lawyer because l wanted the use
Of my name to stop. He came to my house,
said that Mr.. Watt would always be good

PROF. WARES RETIREMENT.
"Thc University Has Nothing 10 say"

some mystery seems to enshroud the
cause which led Prof William r. Ware
to resign as head OF the department Of
architecture in Columbia University. Moth
ing positive WAS ascertainable Yesterday

lated from the university that Prof. Ware

to the trustees for the courtesy with which
was gratifed to know that Mr.. Hamlin
was to be his successor He added that he
has no quarrel with the trustees.
The dinner referred to hos been an annual
department for fifteen years. 1t has been
his custom to give dinner to the graduates
and address them, the dinner being private
affair and Prof Ware being the only speaker
rnasmuch as he talked to them for two
hours on this last occasion, 1t is to be sup
posed that his statement Of yesterday re-
aarding what he said at the dinner refers
only to what he said concerning his resig-
