MIDNIGHT suPeERs
FIGURE IN DIVORCE.
Virginia Earle, to Shield Friend,
Says She Drank Most of the
Champagne.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-vlrginia
Earle, the actress, was the star wit
ness before Justice Dickey, in Brook.
Ign. She stepped into the full glare
of the public calcium light thrown on
myriad champagne suppers in the Ho'
tel vendome in order to shield Mrs,
Cantln, who is being sued for divorce
by her husband. She proved herself
a fair ana unselfsh martyr. Mr.. Can
tin charges that his wife was unfatth'
full, and names Harry NJ. Moses, an
auctioneer. This Mrs. Cantin denies.
The hotel bellboys lifted the cur
tain of the midnight suppers. These
parties in the vendome, the boys
said, were made up Of Mrs. Cantin
and Moses, Virginia Earle and DR..
Conrad, who is now in Sing Sing. Vir-
glnia Earle responded to the name of
Mrs. Frank Lawton and took the
stand. She said she was divorced
from Lawton.
II have been Mrs. Cantin's bosom
friend and intimate for some time,
said Miss Earle, very earnestly. "In
fact, took care Of her. Yes, Moses
was frequent visitor to the hotel,
but he was only a friend. That was
all. DR.. Conrad was a frequent vlst-
tor, too.
about the suppers? Oh, they were
my suppers. You see that after the
theater every night would have sup
per. usually had it in Mrs. Cantin's
room. AS rule, l had champagne"
"Who drank most Of it," asked
Justice Dickey.
"oh, guess l did," said Miss Earle,
smiling.
How much did you drink"
WELL" said the actress, some
times almost pint"
did you ever drink quarts2"
well, sometimes did-when | was
flush"
"And when you drank pints?"
Il was not very tlush," broke in
Miss Earle.
The jury brought in verdict for the
plaintiff.

Anton Nodat Formerly Of Baltimore,
Finds Brother at Steamship
pier.

r. r i
NEW YORK, Jan. 10 separated
for 80 years, Anton and Henri Nodat,
brothers, ran into each other to-day
on the gangplanK Of the French liner
Gascogne as the steamship was about
to sail for Hayre, and the throng Of
spectators were treated to touching
scene.
Thirty years ago Anton left his
home in Dieppe, France, for Germany,
and at about the same time Henri de.
parted for Australia Later Anton
sailed for America and settled in Bal
timore. Ten years ago he moved to
Chicago. Henri also came to Ameri;
ca and took up his residence in this
city.
During all the succeeding years the
brothers heard nothing Of each other,
but they prospered, and recently An
ton decided to pay a visit to ais old
home. He booked passage on the
Gascogne, and was walking up the
gangplank today when he brushed
against stranger hurrytng ashore af'
ter having seen a friend off,
Pardon" said Anton with true
French politeness, and in that Ian
guage. Then he glanced at the strang.
er and stopped to scrutinize him more
closely.
"Are you Henri Nodat," he ex-
claimed.
"Are you not Anton Nodat, my
brother" replied the stranger.
Then they fell on each others neck
and detectives had a hard time part.

err to sail.

Mysterious Fire.

A mysterious, and what came near
resulting III a disastrous fire occurred
at the home of John F. Van Glider, on
Norgantown avenue last Wednesday
evening. While the young folks were
away at church lie and his wife were
sitting in the dining room about $3.50
O'Clock, when they smelled wood afire.
His wife proceeded to the sitting room
;sitclen and parlor to investigate.
Finding no signs of it she went up
stairs, followed by her husband. They
searched three rooms in vain, and then
the wife opened tile door Of vacant
room where no fire had been used for
a gear, when to her great surprise the
pent up smoke poured out in volumes
that fairly stifed her. The husband
rushed in and found the hall window
curtain in flames, the blind burned,
dress on stand near by, and the win.
dow casing, top Of the stand and side
Of the bureau all scorched and charred.
Had there been any circulation Of air
In the room, or had they not discovered
1t Just when they did, the fire would
have had such a start that no efforts
on their part could have saved the
house from burning down. Appear
ing in the nick Of time, however, MIR.
Van Glider tore down the curtain and
blind all ablaze and stamped out the
fire on the floor, where the carpet was
also found to be burned for space
Of two or three feet. The wife brought
a bucket II water when they soon
brought the fire under control and got
it extlnguished. But no IRE having
been in the room, and being even void
Of aue or fireplace, the mystery Of
It's origin Is unsolved, unless caused by
mice gnawtng matches which is posi-.
BILE in theory.
