THE AMERICAN HEN

sessAss&as
Perhaps the fortunate reader has
witnessed this great success. If SO
he will remember that there is a
scene where Little Eva has been
given up by the family physician
and is seen lying on her bed with
bad taste in her mouth and her
whole system more or less run
down. A number of selected guests
have been invited IN to see her pass
away. Sometimes the part of Little
Eva is played by a small girl, while
in other Theatrical companies a
more aged and infirm person makes
up as a prattling child and con-
sents to shuttle off every night at a
stipulated salary. On this night an
aged party in bad state of preserv-
alton played the part. 1t was as
sad scene as person would care
to look at Little Eva was propped
up in bed talking matters over in
trimbling tones and making gestures
like boy graduate with lame
elbow.
just then rude young man in
the gallery took an elderly egg out
of paper sack and hurled it with
great force. Little Eva reached out
and caught it just behind her ff
ear. A changed expression at once
came into her face. She seemed to
rally from her death struggle and
grow stronger. The dread disease
which had laid her low relinquished
its hold and for moment or two
she seemed to be in just as robust
health as anybody. Then reaction
set in again. She suffered a bad
relapse and sinking spell. Once
more she became a physical
wreck. She began to make wild.
Delsa"tian gestures like hired man
in tight coat Her breath was.
coming fast. Also her finish.
Papa" she said, jabbing her arms.
out in the air at pale young man
in a sorrel wig Papa she SAID.
but just then papa caught one on
the back of his neck as he was
kneeling at the foot of the bed,
trying to look the picture of despair.
Little Eva was guessing. She
couldn't quite decide whether to
kick the dashboard and fall back or
wait till papa got through pulling
egg out from under his collar. But
while she was thinking it over
another egg helped her to decide.
1t struck her a glancing blow,
knocking her nice artificial bangs
galley west. Then she leaped from
her bed of pain and fled, followed
by the mourners It was new
and pleasing denouement In an
other moment she would have been
decidedly deceased, but the arrival
of a sackful Of eggs from the
gallery at the right instant revived
her heart action and restored
respiration. The curtain then came
down and the audience left, declar-
ing 1t most happy ending of a
scene that ordinarily is as sad a.
thing as can be found for the
money.
P. SIN looking over what
have written [ see that I have. onlv
succeeded in enumerating one pur-
pose for which the egg may be
USED, viz how to remove a super
f1uous or bothersome actor. In
justice to the hen I must add that
there are many other functions Just
as important. Dogs, cats and other
beasts of burden that have come in
contact with dose of rat poison
that had been setOut for the. neigh
bors children can be restored to
health of body and enind by first
cutting them into submission and
then prying open their faces with a

many raw eggs as your financial
condition will | ermit.

MRS. BELL MAY START SUIT, TOO
Denies Charges OF Her HIisband-She'i
Already Seeking Separation.

Priscilla d. Bell whose husband, Henry
c. Bell, manager Of the Cupples Envelope
Company, has begun an action against her
in Chicago for an absolute divorce, denied
absolutely yesterday that she had given him
any cause for his suit, and asserted that
the detectives whom he employed must
have mistaken another woman for her.
Mrs. Bell is living with her father. the
Rev. II. NJ Stratton, at "a West 104th street,
and she said yesterday that Dr. Stratton
had already started for Chicago to consult
with lawyerr in reference TO the divorce
action.
Bell, as told in Chicago despatch printed
in yesterdays Sun, accuses his wife Of
intimacy with William II. Hibbard. form
ery an advertising solicitor on q CONNER
cial paper in this city, and now an officer
of an oyster supplying concern. Bells
complaint, as served on Mrs. Bell recently,
recites that she lived with Hubbard as man
and wife both here and in Europe
Mrs. Bell attributes her marital troubles
of two sons by former husband when
she became Bells wife. One OF the sons Is
almost II now. and she thinks that Bell Is
disappointed because she has no children to
bear his name.
1t is the most ridiculous thing said
Mrs. Bell yesterday, -for Harry to think
that he can hoodwink the courts with these
trumped-up charges against me. Why,
know Mr, Hubbard, but to accuse me of
living with him as his wife, Is Preposterous.
The only explanation that can suggest
is that the detectives employed by Mr..
Bell to get evidence against me mistook
Mrs Hubbard for me and reported to Harry
that l was the woman in his company
There is certainly not particle Of truth in
the allegations OF his complaint.
what is my reply going to be? Well,
my father has started for Chicago already,
and after he has consulted with lawyers
there you need not be surprised to see
me suing for divorce, instead Of being
the defendant"
She has already begun a separation suit
and is receiving 81 200 year alimony.

CROKER HEARS OF ELOPEMENT.
Daughter Hasn't Notified Him. but He
Doesn't Seem Much Disturbed.


Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Riohard Croker told
q Sun correspondent to-day at the Carlton
Hotel. where he is entertaining Andrew
Freedman OF New York that he knew nothing
whatever with regard to the alleged elope-
ment OF mis- daughter Florence from AK
les-Bains with an Italian named San
Reno; except what he bad seen In print.
He had received no intimation that his
daughter was on her way to obtain his con-
sent to her marriage. He said:
1T seems unlikely, after running of that
way, that they would ask anybody's con-
sent to their marriage
The corresp ondent asked him:
will you give your parental consent and
forgiveness?'
Mr.. Croker adjusted his cigar in the corner
of his mouth and slowly replied
Il have nothing to say, a. do not know
the circumstances. But have always be-
loved that when young people are in that
mood 1t Il best to give consent. as. IL you
don't--why. they get married anyhow
Mr.. Croker refused to discuss the possi-
bility that his daughter might arrive In
London and have the marriage performed
here.

The ferryboat Montauk. which left her

nue. at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
a downpour, had two passengers in the
women's cabin who attracted attention by
their excited manner. One was a man OF
middle age who wore q dark coat and light
trousers and Grape banded black derby
hat. The woman was good looking and
we'll dressed and much younger than the
man.
When the boat was in midstream the
man left the side Of the woman and ran aft
She followed him and they had a struggle

and they did not follow the man and woman

The woman chung to the man, who finally
shook her Of and, mounting the rail, jumped
into the river.
In the struggle the mans hat fell on
the deck. The man made no effort to get
the life buoy that was hurled from the
ferryboat. He was not a swimmer and
quickly drowned.
The pilot OF the army ferryboat Han
cock, bound for the Barge Office slip from

to tell the deckhands anything about
herself or her companion. When the
Montauk got into her slip at the foot Of
Whitehall street the woman ran to the ele-
waited station and boarded q train OF the
Sixth avenue line.
The inscription in the mans hat showed
that it had been sold by Charles F. Kueck
Of 2sO Grand street. Brooklyn. The hat
was taken to the Old Slip station by the
policeman at the ferry landing.

could not tell who the man was.
Il remember one man who came to my

Kneok. He resembled in a general way
the man who jumped overheard. He told
me that it was hard to lose two members
Of the family at one time, but to lose third
member shortly after was harder still.
Afterward heard this man muttering
to himself.

ILoILo, p. l., Aug. l6.-A splendid indus
trial parade, illustrating the introduction
OF American farming implements into the
Philippine Islands, interested the visiting
Con zressmen to-day. II was followed by
q conference with the sugar planters OF the
Island Of Panay. Secretary Taft led an
investigation, which showed tho inferiority
Of Philippine sugars and dispeled the Idea
Of the possibility Of their competition with
the American product. Senators Scott.
Newlands and Patterson examined the
witnesses upon cultivation, milling. ship
ping and the average production.
Tho Chamber Of Commerce has petitioned
for the abolition Of the Dingley tariff and
the reduction OF the internal revenue taxes.
In the petition 1t Is stated that wages have
tripled since 1906, while production has de-
creased on account OF the rinderpest and the
land tax. However, the market price OF
products has increased only slightly, thus
causing many OF the oldest planters to
abandon the cultivation OF sugar.
There was q banquet this evening In
honor Of the visitors Three hundred were
present Representative Grosvenor urged
those representing industrial interests to
that the Congressman were temporarily
suppressing their political differences and
were MISUNDERSTANDING, honest informa-
ton. He said they were rapidly getting
better ideas Of the ability and character
OF the Filipinos.
Two natives OF Panay followed. They
asked that a promise be given Of early
self-government to be followed by inde-
pendence.
Senator Scott of West Virginia said:
Teach the Filipinos to respect the flag
protecting you, for believe It will protect
you for at least fifty or one hundred years
while the country is gradually developing. y
His remarks were greeted with prolonged
applause.
Secretary Taft urged the fostering Of
education, the maintenance Of order and
the improvement OF labor conditions. He
answered squarely the native orators who
were harping on Independence by reiterat-
ing that the United States would not tol-
crate interference In its policy Of prepar-
ing the Filipinos for self-government,
which would require generations. Hence,
he advised them to work instead OF agi-
tate.
