When tears came unbidden to her
big, brown eyes, and slowly trickled
their way down scarlet cheeks, she
strove in vain to keep them back.
AS the young wife unfolded the mar
rative of her girlhood and told the
early struggles of herself and her
mother to keep body and soul to-
gether; of how gaunt poverty stood
ever at the door, and how she finally
was able to earn livelihood by pos
ing for photographers and artists, she
won the murmured sympathy Of the
throng which filled every available
space in the big courtroom.
Dramatic Story Of Her Life.
Then came the relation of the
wreck of that girlhood at 16 years Of
age. It was the story of her meet
ing with Stanford White, the story
of the sumptuous studio apartment,
whose dingy exterior gave no hint Of
the luxurious furnishings within; Of
a velvetcovered swing in which one
could swing until slippered toes
crashed through the paper Of Japa-
nese parasol swung from the ceiling;
the story OF glass of champagne, Of
>mirrored bedroom walls. In short,
she told all the story.
I She told of her arrival in New
York, Of her life here and eventually
the acceptance by her mother of the
thrice-refused invitation Of girl Of
the theater to meet some OF her
friends at luncheon. The girls mo-
ther told Evelyn's mother they were

fectly proper, else she would not let
her girl go with them.

White had told her many stories
about the young Pittsburg millionaire,
and when he returned to America she,
refused to see him except in the pres
ence of a third person. When he
asked her why she acted SO, she told
him the stories.
One was that Thaw had put girl
into a bathtub and turned scalding
water upon her. Another was that
he was addicted to the use Of NOR

had tied girls to bedposts and beaten
them.

SHAVED THE STATUE.

Near the entrance of beautiful Oak Hill cemetery, Georgetown, where re- poses the dust of James G. Blaine, Ed ward M Stanton and other great Americans, stands a fine statue of John Howard Payne, author of Home, Sweet Home" The bringing home of the remains of this famous American, who died at his post in Africa genera tions ago, when he was serving there as United States consul, was the occa- sion of a great national function more than twenty years ago,
 The late William Corcoran, the Washington banker and philanthropist, defrayed all of the expenses and also paid for the monument and statue of Payne which mark his resting place in Oak Hill. The sculptor who executed the life size statue had palmed off on him as picture of John Howard Payne the photograph of man whose face was completely covered with a luxuriant growth of whiskers. Accord ingly he faithfully reproduced the whiskers in marble. Soon after the statue was set up In Oak Hill it was

Two Women Found With Goods on
 Them by Detective Ward.
 A very clever capture of two young women shoplifters was made by De- tective James Ward yesterday after noon. They give as their names Mary Buckley and Kitty O'Neill, but these are thought by the police to be ficti- tious. Repeated questioning failed to elicit any further information regard ing themselves from them. A peculiar circumstance is that, although they were caught together by Detective Ward, they deny knowing each other.
 Several articles which had been stol- en were found on their persons. Among them was a lady's hat which bore a mark showing that it had been stolen from the store of A. B. Rogowski, SPA Chapel street. A roll of ribbon carried by the O'Neill woman was identified by an employe of the Ma!ey company as coming from that store. The O'Neill woman acknowledged that she had stolen the hat
 The women are very clever in their operations That they intended to do a big business yesterday was shown by the fact that in & satchel which one of them carried were a large number of brown paper bags in which they evil dently intended to wrap their booty
 The attention of Detective Ward was first called to the women by T. H. Fleming, fioorwalker at Malley's, He gave the detective description of the two, and said that they had been in the Malley store early In the afternoon. Detective Ward walked down Chapel street looking for the pair. He saw one of them standing in front of Mendel & Freedmans store. She was soon join ed by the other. They returned up Chapel street, closely watched by De- tective Ward. He saw them enter a hallway and followed them. He found ttlem doing up the stolen articles in the wrapping paper which they had brought In their satchel and he prompt ly arrested them.

Mosquitoes the Only Flaw-Not Even a
 Servant Problem.
 Birds ar every scarce in Hawaii, writes Helen McCandless in the World, $ Work. Their music fills the quivering air One wonders why we do not all live in this paradise, where life seems to stretch out before one in a long. languid dream of delight.
 Suddenly through your dreaming | comes a rude awakening. The Hawai- ian mosquito, the one flaw in the gem, the only thorn in the garden. has called to make your acquaintance and bid you welcome to his domain.
 The houses, with their broad verandas filled with palms and flowers and furnished with tables, chairs. ham, mocks and grass rugs, are a paradise to the weary traveller. It is here that the Honolulu people enjoy their golrious climate
 The lawns, thick and velvety as Ia carpet, were kept in perfect order by the yard boys, for experienced servants Chinese Japanese and Portuguese can always be had. In fact, the ser- want problem causes no worry to the housewife, who has but little anxiety in this land of plenty.
 Everybody seems to take life easily. The offices close very early and no one seems to know what care is. The sugar barons, their capitol once rightly in vested, draw their dividends-and the rest of life is required to spend them.

One end of the veranda is used as sun parlor, sheltered by win dows and screens, for what they call cold days-60 degrees above zero. Numerous rooms connect with this, the dining room being veranda at the other end of the house, and the kitchen a separate building, though connected by roofed veranda. The guest cham bers are cottages by themselves. The bath is heWn out of solid stone. with a shower above. Servants are provided for in quarters apart from the house. The whole in fact, greatly re- minds one of an old southern planta- tion home, with modern improvements.

QUEER TRAIT oF A STATES

MAN.
 King Victor Emmanuel has just lost a cousin by the death of old Joseph Saracca, who, it is true, was not a blood relation, but who was indebaed for his titular kinsmanship to the SOW ereign-to the fact that he was one of the very few non-royal knights of the Italian Order of the Annunciation, all of whom rank as cousins of the mon arch. He was one of the most curious figu res of political life in Italy Pied montese by birth, he possessed the Piedmontese qualities of sterling hon. esty, financial astuteness and economy. The latter, indeed, was carried to such 3 pitch that when he was appointed premier the comic papers represented him as bargaining for twenty one-cent glasses of lemonade with which to ena- ble his friends to drink to the success of his administration. He was one of the oldest veterans of public life in Ita- ly, having entered Parliament in S49. For many years he was mayor of his native town, Acqui.
 At one moment, when the Italian cit les and towns were wing with one an- other in erecting ugly but costly monu- ments to Cavour, the citizens of Acqui thought it their duty to place a suita- ble monument to the father of Italian unity on the central square of their town. Mayor saracco yielded with re- luctance to their importunities; but in order not to disturb the finances of the municipality he ransacked the studios of half the slucptors in the kingdom and finally picked up for mere noth- ing a old forgotten and discarded statue of Cavour This he transferred to Acqui and had it erected an the public square. His fellow-townsmen thereupon decided to celebrate the in- auguration of the monument with great festivities, the cost of which the municipal treasury was expected to de- fray. But Mayor Saraeeo, again trem- bling for the municipal finances, got up early one morning at daybreak and, with the assistance of a few municipal employees, unveiled and inaugurated the monument before the town was awake.-"M Marquise de Fontenoy" in the New York Tribune.
