SO graciously led them, ever while the
people were declaring that the will

was no place where they could find
rest.
And as these ree0llections crowded
in upon his heart, he took new our
age. God had helped in times past,
he would not fail him row With the
confidence born of faith, therefore, he
looked again into the faces of the
men before him and said, with quiet
C~heerfulness;

that he has forgotten thee, or that he
will let thee perish here in the will

GOTHAM BoH1AcE PROTESTED
AoAINsr ALLEGED WIFE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK. April 14-As a result Of
the story that Mrs. Gorky was not Mrs
Gorky. but Russian actress named An
dreieva, with whom the revolutionist has
been living. representing her as his law
full helpmeet. Maxim Gorky was ordered
today to leave the Hotel Belle Claire, at
nth street and Broadway. He has taken
up his home at the apartments of H. Cay
lord Wiltshire. at 6S West 93d street.
The transfer was made at IL o'clock to-
day. and Milton Roblee. the proprietor OF
the hotel. said plainly that he had ordered
his guest to make tho change.
Mr.. Roblee said:
Yes. asked for the suite occupied by
Gorky and the actress. told Mr.. Wilt
shire. that I was running a perfectly re-
spectacle family hotel and that I could not
continue to permit the presence of Mr..
Gorky and his companion"
Mr.. Wiltshire Of wiltshire's Magazine,
the millionaire socialist. who stands spon-
sor for the Russian author said today that
It was an open secret that Gorky was sep
arated from his WIFE
Mr.. Wiltshire said Gorky had been liv-
ing and travelling with the actress, whom
he represented as Mrs Gorky, and who was
accepted as Mrs. Gorky wherever he had
been.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: The New York admirers of Maxim
Gorky have been divided into two camps
by an embarrassing discovery which was
made on the novelist's arrival. and was
then whispered around among the circle of
socialists, revoluttonists and literary folk
who fiocked to his company.
Some Of the more conservative socialists
among whom are included such as Robert
Hunter and j. G. Phelp Stokes, were not
little disconnected when Goriky reached this
country to learn that the so-called Mime.
Gorky who accompanied him was not
Mime. Gorky at all, but a Russian actress,
Andreieva, with whom Gorky had been
living since his separation from his wife a
few years ago.
The extreme socialists regarded the stu
alton calmly. They declared II was a COM
mon occurrence in Russia for husband
and wife who could not get along together
to go their separate ways and take up with
other partners if they chose. A number Of
matronS in the circle who are entertaining
Gorky in this city announced at once that
they would receive Nine Gorky, hoping
thereby to overcome the qualms of those
who were not disposed to accept the situa-
ton with a straight face.
