HARRISON DEVOTED TO
WIFE, SAYS HIS MOTHER.

"Au / know of the death of my sons
wife, out In Reno, New. is that a tele-
gram was delivered here last Tuesday
which stated that she had died of pneu-
monia, and to please send instructions
as to burial. These instructions were
sent, and she was placed in the care of
the best undertaken in Reno. Her
burial ooh place yesterday"
This was the statement made by Mrs.
Charles r. Harrison, mother of John
d. Harrison, at her residence, 20 Beach
street, Bloomfield, this morning to an
EVENING STAR reporter. Mrs. Har-
rison is just recovering from an illness
of several months, and the tragedy has
served as a great setback to her con-
~valescence.
II wish to deny fatty, In my sons
name, that there has ever been any
talk of divorce. as far as he and 1
knew. He was devoted to his wife, and
felt very badly when she went away.
OF course, it was impossible for him to
leave his business n go with her. She
went not so long ago, only several
months. Her voice was magnificent.
"She did concert and operate work,
l believe, and was very ambitious. 1
cannot imagine how these awful rumors
concerning her death got abroad. 1t
is all very painful to my son and
every member of his family"
1T is said thai John Mitchell, father
of your sons wife, declared that she
went West to procure a divorce on the
grounds of cruelty" she was told.
~ do not believe he said it," stated
Mrs. Harrison. st do not see how he
could. Besides, he is an Invalid and
does not go cut. If there had been any
talk of divorce my son would surely
have known it. 1t is all a horrible
mistake. I want you to please accept
my words as the truth. My son is liv-
ing with me just now, though he lived
in Brooklyn before his wife went West.
He is completely broken up over the
death of his wife, and is full of horror
over the turn vents have taken"

ia which he accused her of receiving
the attentions. of other men. She picked
up her little girl, who always accom-

held her to her breast McCausland shot

a little girl at the corner of Bank and

the child to her home in Bank street,
while the nice little man with the

I suppose.
Then l went over to the cigar store
corner, but I did not stage here very
long. I went back to the drugstore
r again and met two young
women seeking the Missing Miss. One
a without a hat and the other wore
a Merry Widow and giggled a good
deal as she chewed gum. I spoke to
them and said I wished I could find the
Missing Miss, and the bareheaded girl
said I would have to get a copy of
THE EVENING STAR.
I walked up to Bamberger's store,
went through the various departments,
n when 1 reached the hoe depart
ment, in the rear of the second floor,
there was Sadie, with the slender,
willowy figure and not more than six
teen or seventeen, and Minnie, a little
older, discussing some horrid creature
named Mr.. Roth, who had refused to

shoes were damaged, and goodness me,
what a lashing he did get. I was the

asked them IL they carried Higginson's

BY THE MISSING MISS.

Well, Newark was certainly out in
quest of treasure and poor me yester-
day. | surely thought that that hat
with the roses, which | wore, would
give me away. as l saw hundreds
yes, l guess thousands-of men and
women, and little children, all carry
ing copies of THE EVENING STAR,
all seeking a young woman with a hat
having roses on 1t. Today l shall wear
another hat. 1t Will have two bird
wings on it, with a bow of ribbon be-
tween them, and the wide brim will
be straight instead Of turned down.
See the Picture of the Hat and Hair.
Things went lovely, without a soul
approaching me until I reached the
Four Corners, at 8 o'clock. Then / was
almost tempted to be sorry that l had
said that l would be there between 3
and 4 o'clock. My! what a crowd there
was waiting for me. 1 plunged into 1t
heroically, and came out unscathed.
There was one young fellow who stood
right alongside of me, in front of the
drug store, and in ten minutes l counted
seven young women whom he mistook
for me. He had the words down fine,
DuL HIS luGIlIIlCdIlpI was 0tlCCLANCs
The young women did not AXE offense;
they just smiled and walked On. This
young mar wore a light ray cap, a
brown coat and dark striped trousers.

arm and ushered me safely across I
smiled at him and he smiled ct me, and
l asked him what all these persons
were doing with copies of THE EVE
MING STAR in their hands, and he
said: They're looking for the Missing
Miss from THE EVENING STAR"
On the corner with the fire insurance
office l waited another few minutes,
and was nearly caught. when a very
pretty young girl with a blue striped
shirtwaist dashed excitedly up to me
and cried:
Are you THE EVENING STARS
Missing Miss" My heart came right
up in my throat. But / recovered in
a second and walked disdainfully away,
because the enthusiastic child had the
words wrong, and I could not see that
she had a paper.
On the corne where the clothing
store is there were fully twenty per-
sons looking for me. 1 asked a rather
stout woman, about 40 years old, with
a ford face and wearing a white
waist, which buttoned in the front and
which was fastened with a safety pin
where the second button was missing,
what the excitement was. She was in
the search, too. because she a a pa

looking for me, but she didn't say it

THE EVENING STAR Free Ice and
Sick Baby Outing Fund was given n
magnificent boost today by the employ
ees of Hahne & Co.'s store, who sent in
a check for $SO.O1-dOn't forget the one
cent! This was the result of a ten-cent
limit collection made throughout the
giant store. Anything from a penny to
a dime was acceptable and everyone
gave for the sick babies.
This big donation means a whole lot
to the sick babies of Newark and their
WORKOUT mothers. Besides the free ice,
it means that they will have an invig-
Grating time at Coney Island. Besides
the great, health bracing sea trip
there and back, they will be taken to
everything In Luna Park, the great
pleasure resort which Frederic Thomp-
son has made famous as "the place for
your mother, your wife, your daughter,
your sister, your sweetheart and your
children" After the fine sea trip the
pleasures of Luna Park are enjoyed all
the more, and following the excitement
to be met in that amusement park, the
returning sea trip lulls the city babe
into a sleep so sound that health comes
back unannounced.
The fund. at the same time it re-
ceived the $80.01 contribution, received

Who swelter in the close-bound, fetid

And parched lips, and eyebaIls cleaning

With blanched transparency, and near

Some kindly hand outstretched, gives
cooling draught.
Battles each temple beat, and laves the
eyes;
Anon the pupils lose their haunted
stare.
The oppressive heat succumbs. and
gentle sleep,
Brings sweet refreshment to the ten
stoned brain.
There's a divinity o'erspreads all hearts
When touched by scenes like that, and

The doors of sympathy, with gen'rous
