nRETTY Nina Harrington, daughter
Of a British colonel who won fame
in India. and whose two sons are
now Officers in the British army and
were both wounded in the defense Of
Mafeking, was born among the green
hills and tiny farms Of York, in the
North Of England.
Her father. constantly away with the
army, had little chance 20 become ac-
quainted with his little girl, and She
grew up in her grandfather's library in
the old homestead. There she filled her
head with poetry and romance and a
great desire to become the leading
actress Of the English speaking race,
even as she imagined her father TO be
the greatest general of the empire.
It was while reciting for amateur
theatricals in the village that a young
Scotch Highlander, John Lesmoir Cor
don, member of the old Scotch noble
family, happened into the little English
village, and hardly through Rugby him
self, and destined, so folks said, for the
army, dropped in to see the play.
In the dance that followed he was in

green all the evening. 1t was years be
fore they met again. but the vision Of
the grave, strong young Scotehman, with
his handsome eyes and broad shoulders,
remained In the memory of Nina Far
ringtOn for years.
The years that he spent in India, and
afcerWard In South Africa during the
war. brought many thrilling memories
TO a place in his mind. But the pretty.
sweet faced English girl always held a
place somewhere in the depths Of his
tempestuous soldiers heart.
Years went by, and Nina Harrington,
having graduated from a girls school
in France, appeared upon the vaudeville
stage in London. Then she came TO
America. where she was told she would
be more appreciated and could the
sooner make her mark.

a reality and a thing more to be priced
than fine gold. This time she went
upon the stage as a leading lady in
legitimate parts and her success was
great. She made hit in The Girl I
Left Behind Me-"
Few women in London possess such
splendid jewels. Her pearls alone are
said to be worth $i25,000, and in addition
she has diamonds that would be the
envy of royalty. Her gold jewel bag
and several rings reposing therein be-
came famous when they were lost in
the Duchess of Manchester's house
where they had been dropped by Mrs.
Lewis and carefully put away by an
officious maid, who neglected to men
ton it until Scotland Yard had been
notified. The value of the bag and the
rings was then placed at $4,000.
In the meantime Nina Harrington was
meeting with successes and rebuffs in
America. Rather more successes than
rebufrs. however. She had made for

The Boer war broke out and Nina
Farrington's brothers took. conspicuous

She wanted to go to South Africa as
a nurse, for she remembered that in one

limbs of British soldiers WING fought the

But she had a Yankee sense of the COM

the misery that many Of these pronered
titles carried with them. She refused
them all, and accepted the money lend

CFdnnle Wdrd)

In the meantime Fanny Ward, an
alert, bright-faced American girl, had
grown up in St Louis and began to
shine in school as the possessor Of a
remarkable voice. Mrs. Ward urged
her to cultivate this voice and sur
rounded her with every advantage a
girl could have.
At sixteen years Of age, a year after
Nina harrington had made a hit as
chorus singer in New York, Fanny
Ward became quite the most popular
chorus singer in the Middle West, and
her mother consented to her coming to
New York 10 accept a position. Here
she found that to be famous 'out West"
didn't mean that she would immedi-
ately be so here
She was possessed of a great ambi-
ton, however and that was to occupy
the center of the stage while the cal
cium was turned full upon her and the
orchestra trilled the moving chords that
denote the presence IF a star.
Here from time to time the stage
managers received inquiries from rich
and wealthy patrons of the opera and
concert. the vaudeville and drama, con-
corning a very beautiful girl with large
earnest eyes and fun, robust voice, who
stood far back in the lines as the cho-
rus rollicked on and off the stage.
These inquiries began TO cause curl
osity in the minds of the managers,
and long before she dreamed Of il her
self, the directors were watching little
Fanny Ward with wonder and pleasure
in their faces.
Then she was given a small part

her daughters services. The cases be-
came famous. Brown, who was known
as Duke" to the sportive set in New
York, refused to discuss the case, and
it was suddenly dropped. The public
never knew how it came out.
As a Gaiety Girl.
One day Nina Harrington met Fanny
Ward at the Garden Theater. and
learned that the latter was going TO
London. The two girls did not meet
again for years. In London the little
American became as famous as Nina
Harrington had become in America. The
joyous crowd of young chappies who
attend the Gaiety Theater fell head over
heels in love with her. The Gaiety IS
the chappies paradise, and as the chap
pies represent some of the greatest
families in England the Gaiety girl is
apt TO make rich and influential friends.
But one day she was introduced to a
serious-eyed, rather dignified man, who
seemed a trifle older than the average
theatergO2rs who took her and her
friends 10 suppers and wine parties, to
drives and boating on the Thames.

wrote to Nina Harrington in New York
that he seemed to her to be the most
sensible fellow she had ever met. After
she had accepted many of his invita-
lions TO dinner, and his beautiful gifts,
she one day ventured to say to him that
he was, she feared, wasting more money
upon her than he could afford to do.
He looked surprised, and then amused,
and finally annoyed. He asked If she
knew anything about his finances or
business. She had not taken the trou-
be to find out, but after that tilt she
inquired. and found that he was the
most famous money lender in England,
and that he was - millionaire many

the metropolis waited for her at the
stage door in droves, sent her flowers
by the bushel, and presents so many
that she knew not what to do with them.
She sent for Fanny Ward, and, with
out letting the st. Louis girl know who
her patron was, got her a place in the
same company she was IN. Then for
the first time Fanny Ward knew what
popularity was. She was courted and
applauded. She made this acquaintance
of many wealthy young women, and
more wealthy young men.
She was popular everywhere. and her
petite, boyishly jolly face was frequent
~ seen on the Avenue In swell turnouts,
driven by the gallants who crowded the
theaters to see her and hear her sing.
Her First Romance.
Fanny Ward-winsome, slender, with
much more than the average intelli-
gence-received the attentions of all
these gailants without a fIutter Of her
own heart till she met Clarence Eugene
Brown, son of Vice Commodore Edward
NJ. Brown of the New York Yacht Club.
He was a prince of good fellows,
owner of yacht that was the envy and
pride Of social New York, and master
of a stable fun of good horses. Fanny
Ward became the heroine Of many
yachting cruises. Always accompanied
by her mother as chaperon, she still
kept her mind fixed upon her high am
bition to be the leading woman on the
American stage. At last, however, ii
became apparent that she thought .HOre
of Brown than of her lines, and then il
was whispered that they were to be
married.
There was a shock There had been
a quarrel and the young people parted.
The aftermath was a suit for $4,000
against Brown for breach of promise,
and another brought against him 10

in England.

Grand Opera House in New York for

tial, the wife of Lieutenant John Les
moir Gordon of the Kings Life Guards
in London, retired.
The rise of these two chorus girls
from the footlights in America to
wealth ana fame in England makes one
of the most fascinating stories from the
book of real life.
Fanny Ward and Nina Harrington
were girl friends. Both were poor,
sensitive, clever and ambitious. One
is the most envied woman in England
because of her great wealth, and the
other has married an idol of the British
army. The romances of these two
girls, closely woven together as they
are, prove the most attractive that have
furnished food for the gossips of the
two greatest English speaking cities
for fifty years.

WARRANT AGAINST
 CONDUCTOR SEALES
HOLLIS B. PARRISH CHARGES HIM WITH ASSAULT WITH WEAPON. CONDUCTOR WANTS PARRISH PLACED UNDER PEACE BOND.

Hollis B. Parrish apeared before Clerk J. J. B. McI1lrath in the police court yes- terday and swore out a warrant against Conductor M. B. Scales, of the Brming- ham Railway Light and Power company charging him with assault with weap- on. The warrant grew out of the trouble between Parrish and the conductor on the North Birmingham car about mid night Thursday night.
 It will be remembered that a warrant charging assault with intent to murder was sworn out against Parrish by the conductor on Friday. The conductor ap- peared before Clerk McElrath yesterday and sought to have Parrish placed un- der peace bond, fearing further trouble with him. The conductor was referred to Judge Benners. who would not Issue the warrant stating that he did not think the reasons sufficient.
 As the statements go, the trouble on the street car grew out of Parrish's alleged failure to pay his car fare. The conduc- tor put him off the car and claims that Parrish drew a knife and attempted to cut him. The conductor states that he secured a switch stick and defended him self

CHAIN GANG FORGE
 THINNING STEADILY
COMPARATIVELY FEW NEGROES BEFORE POLICE JUDGE TO BE SENT BACK TO JAIL TO WORK OUT THEIR SENTENCES.

There are now fewer prisoners going back into the city jail from the police court than ever before in the history of the department.
 The convicted prisoners are sent to the southside jail to work out their fines and sentences on the streets. If the present conditions last for about three months there will be hardly enough negroes to clean the streets.
 Last week there were only forty-five prisoners sent back to the warden to be used on the streets because they were unable to pay their fines. and this is barely half of the number that usually goes on the streets every week. For three weeks past the number has been grad ually decreasing and the low water mark was reached last week.
 On yesterday only three prisoners were sent to the warden, and on last Thurs day only two prisoners went to the street gang. A glance at the records shows that for a similar week last year the number sent to the street gang was more than twice as large as the number this past week. and that the average last year was twice the average number this year.
