the little son awaiting him in big
eyed wonder, and the little mother
comforts her aching heart with the
thought that something has surely de-
layed him and he will yet come to
them both. But he does not come. In.
stead he sends his friend the consul
to tell her that he has returned to
Japan with his American wife-his
real wife. The consul tries to tell her,
but poor little faithful Butterfly" does
not understand until Kate Pinkerton''
the real wife, arrives. explains, and
asks her to give up the child to his
father! Then, and not until then,
does the awful truth enter Butter
fly's" mind. She does not rave and
rant in frenzy of rage and grief,
but she sends her love to her husband
by the real wife and tells her to say
that if he will come to her in half an
hour he may have their son-his son!
Kate" departs and leaves the poor
little blighted Japanese flower alone,
in her shame and misery. When But

of her position and the utter desola-
ton of her life, Suzuki" the faithful
maid. fearing that her blighted mis-
tress will commit hari-kari, pushes on
to her the little boy. The sight of
him, the living emblem of her love.
loosens the floodgates of her heart and
she weeps over the child in her utter
abandonment. Then she crosses to
the image of Buddha, which she had
renowned, and bows before 1t. Next
she stops at the shrine and takes
therefrom a white veil which she
throws across screen. A dagger ly-
ing near the image of Buddha attracts
her attention and she picks it up and
reads thereon:
ITO die with honour.
When one can no longer live with
honour"
Aye, so 1t must be with her. But
the child-his child-must not see It's
mother thus act her own executioner!
No, no! She takes the babe again In
her arms, kisses him passionately and
then binds handkerchief across his
bonnie blue eyes-eyes so like his
father's!-places him on low stool
and, putting doll in one of his tiny
hands and an American flag in the
other, bids him play"
Then she glides behind the screen.
An ominous silence is followed by the
fall of the knife, and after short
time the white veil is drawn from the
screen. Another silence, and then
Butterfly poor little faded and
wounded butterfly painfully crawls
from behind the sheltering screen and,
blinded by the fast approaching haze
of death, gropes her way to their child
his child! With painful gasps and
efforts she reaches the prattling baby,
who thinks that his mother is playing
with him the fascinating game of hide
and-seek! Her loving little hands
flutter over his tiny face and hair in
last loving petting. Just as the SEN
sitive fingers grow limp and weary
arms lose their power and droop In
helplessness, Pinkerton's voice is
heard wildly calling Butterfly, But
terfly," and he reaches the scene In
time to see the poor little Butterfly"
perish from the cruel flame of his
tickle love.

fused to house the pair on the score
of the notoriety their presence would
bring.
At no time up to the fatal night at
Madison Square Garden was the name
of Stanford White mentioned. STAN
ford White was known in Pittsburg.
No one dreamed that man of his
substantial and secure reputation
would be found in the bizarre sur
roundings affected by Harry Thaw.
The knowing ones of Pittsburg knew
were not in on the Information that
the knowing New Workers possessed
of Stanford White. At the. first shock
even Thaw's friends threw up their
hands and said: Harry must be
crazy"
But gradually the whole story came
out. Women unconsciously arraigned
themselves on the side of the unwrit-
ten law. Perhaps White was really
sensual monster, who, not content
with his first act of infamy, had pur-
sued his victim into the sacred pre-
cincts of her husbands home and
sought to make mockery of the mar
riage ties. So they waited for the tes-
timony-waited to see II the stories
told would be sworn to at the trial.
Events have more than justified their
expectations.
Evelyn Nesbit's story has been told
under oath, and those who knew her
year before the great tragedy of her
life are Harry Thaw's most merciful
judges.
Evelyn Nesbit made her first public
appearance as singer at church
memorial service at Tarentum, Pa.
She was but five years old at the time
Evelyn's father, Winfield Scott Mes
bit, was born and reared on a farm
about two miles from Tarentum.
Evelyn was born in that village. Mrs.
Nesbit had the. reputation of being q
careful mother, kind neighbor and
a generous friend.
Little Evelyn Is said to have been
particularly interesting child. very
quiet, somewhat shy and did not make
friends, but was extremely loyal to
those who gained her confidence. She
was then regarded as beautiful
child, with remarkably sweet voice.
At the service In memory of the
church members who had died dur
ing the year, an immense bank of ever
greens completely covered the pulpit.
In the midst of the solemn hush of
the service came the sweet voice of
Little Evelyn Nesbit behind the ever
greens, and in q voice which could
be distinctly heard over the large au-
dience she sang, 1--WE Are Going Down
the Valley"

MADAM Buttertly."

The Story of Cho-C ho-San (Little But.
terfy).
In certain sense Butterfly" is a
Japanese "Frou Frou." That is, she
has the French heroine's sparkling
playfulness in the first act and passes
on through the second act of hungry
heartedness to the tragedy of the third
act. But, Butterfly" is never immoral
not even in thought or through pique,
like poor little "Frou FrUu." Butter
fly" is loyal to the very end, as you
will see.
In the first act the little japanese
heroine. "Chc-Cho-San," or Butter
fly" as she is affectionately called by
those who love her, is Joyous and in
genious. She loves the American sail
or. Lieut.. Pinkerton," and he loves
her! That Is all she knows or cares!
They are married and she believes
that a long and happy life stretches
out before her with this husband of
her choice. In her complete devotion
to him, she renounces the religion of
her fathers, thus cutting herself off
forever from her people. But what
of that! Has she not her husband
and is she not supremacy happy! Her
sky is so beautifully blue that she re-
fuses to see the cloud that appears
even then on its horizon in the shape
of her uncle's curse because of her
remuneration of Buddha She laughs,
coquets and is deiiciously happy and
light-hearted child.
In the second act we find the merry,
capricious, yet sweetly lovable But
terfly" transformed into a rather seri-
= ous-minded young mother and lonely
yet loyal wife. Her American husband
has long since been recalled to his
country, but the faithful heart of the
little Japanese wife beats for him and
for him alone, and her dear little al
mond-shaped eyes are ever watching
the harbor for sight of his ship. Has
he not promised that he will return
when the robins nest!" To be sure
they have nested three times in the
Flowery Kingdom-but then in Ameri-
ca it may be different! So she waits
on hopefully, ever true to her Ameri-
can hero, despite the hints of the kind
hearted American consul, who from
the very first, has realized the tragedy
of her life.
The third act brings Butterfly" the
glad tidings that Pinkerton's ship is in
the harbor. She laughs and cries for
joy! Her trust in him is justified. He
has returned to claim her and now she
can show him the cnild-their child!
So with suppressed excitement and
with new dignity she retires to don
her holiday attire and to make the boy
as attractive as possible for his father.
But that father does not come to see

EVELYN NESB|T THAW'S beauty
NOT PRAISED BY P|7TSBuRG GIRLS

Pittsburg, Feb. 19.-It may seem sin
gular that amid all this raving over
the beauty of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw the
thousand or more Pittsburg girls who
knew her intimately are not adding
their praise. All take an enormous
interest in her trials, but they will
not discuss her as a beauty. They
knew her best during that trying ugly
duckling" period, which all women,
no matter how greatly they are des-
tined to be showered with natures
gifts, must pass before entering into
possession of their inheritance. The
Evelyn they knew was a little girl of
Is, whose eyes and hands and feet,
as is always the case with growing
girls, had reached maturity far in adj
vance of the rest of her body-not the
Evelyn, who, chysalislike, a year after
ward, burst her bounds and assumed
that strange and wonderful ideal per-
lection which arrested the attention
OF such great artists as Charles Dana
Gibson, Carroll Beckwith, Carl Blen-
ner, Randall Phillips and Irving
Wildes. They do not know her as the
girl who sprang unpanoplied into the
court of Venus and challenged COM
parison with its queen.
Evelyn Nesbit to them is merely the
little school chum; the pretty, viva
cious, fun-loving girl who hated study
and was like them in all things else.
You may tell them that there are co.
900 newspapers in the United States
and that all of them have printed her
picture hundred tines each: that
probably no woman who eve: lived
has been painted and drawn and rrint-
ed half SO often, and they will merely
say, Poor Evelyn! hope Harry Thaw
will be acquitted. That man White
had no business annoying her after
she was married."
About six months after Evelyn Mes
bit left Pittsburg her fame began to
reach home from abroad, her wonder
fully beautiful face was first recog-
nized on a butchers calendar, and
copies of it were eagerly sought by
her friends. Then she began to ap-
pear in Sunday supplements. wearing
bewildering gowns.
Finally Charles Dana Gibson immor-
talized her in his great drawing, "Thc
Eternal Question" Probably 10000
600 copies of this drawing were distri-
buted in the United States and Eng.
land. Her Pittsburg friends settled
back and said: Evelyn has become
an artists model" and with that they
dismissed her.
Later young Pittsburg blades re.
turning from New York told of the
pretty young Allegheny girl who had
Broadway by the ears in a thinking
part In "Florodora." Then came thu
rumor Of her ENHANCEMENT with Harr,
Thaw, and following this in swift sue

rels with hotel managers who had re-

DEFIRS FORAKER
Makes Clear His Position in Interne-
cine Fight in Ohio.
''SOn-in-Iaw' LOnEworth Bears Mes
tant Omce as Rebuke tn Senator.

President Roosevelt yesterday made
clear his position In the campaign in Ohio.
He as good as came ont into the open for
TAFT. He even anticipated by few hours
the firing of the first gun by Senator For
aker at Canton. And as ohioans to-day
read the Senator's speech they will also
be made aware Of the White House align
ment against him.
The first wholesale slap at Senators
Foraker and Dick and Penrose was ad-
ministered as the Presidents offices were
closing, This came In the announcement
that Ralph W. Tyler. of Columbus. Ohio.
had been appointed auditor Of the Treas
ury Department for the navy W w.
Brown, one Of Penrose's henchmen, who
had held the Office since Mckinley was
inaugurated, was detached to make the
vacancy.
Following this announcement dispatches
from Ohio stated that his son-in-law.
Nick Longworth, had declared for the
nomination OF Secretary TAFT
Just when Foraker is embaTking on his
struggle for mastery in Ohio the Presi-
dent makes his son-in-law a screamer for
Taft, knowing well that this will irjure
Foraker and make Ohio realize how
earnestly the White House desires his
defeat. In more than one particular il
justifes Secretary Loeb's boast of few
days ago, ;hat when they come to play
ing politics they will md We are no
noVices."
And, while the prospect is remote. the
President incidentally may be helping his
son-in-law to a seat Ia the Senate.
The Presidents willingness 10 use the
patronage at his disposal to swing things
for Tart is cleyeriy demonstrated in the
OF Tyler. There are $1,000
negro voters in Ohio. When the Browns
vile quarrel was red hot the President
announced that he wished to appoint
Tyler as surveyor of customs at Cincin-
natl, the homie city of Senator Foraker.
This caused such an uproar that Repre-
sentative Longworth. who also lives at
Cincinnati. intervened quietly. The Presi-
dent then sent word abroad into Ohio
that there was such opposition by the
Republican Congressman to the appoint
meut of a colOred man there that he could
not give Tyler a Federal Office in that
