Harry Thaw
Stood by Evelyn Nesbit.

0IOOO ny Evelyn NSSOit.
Standing in the light of reflected no
toriety is May Mackenzie, the chorus
girl chum of Evelyn Nesbit, who occu-
pied a prominent place at the Thaw
trial as the daily companion and
stanch friend of the defendants wife.
For the sake of the wild Rose days,
when the two shared the same lip pen
Gil and borrowed each others powder
puff, May Mackenzie unconcernedly
braved notoriety to tighten the dark
hours in the life of her afflicted friend.
Her name was on every lip, her jaun-
ty appearance causing almost as much
comment as that of the 'angel child"
And again this sprightly little per-
son has appropriated the limelight,
now being hailed as the possessor of
the "wickedest eyes in New York"
Not that May Mackenzie really likes
to have her orbs thought naughty
Dear me, no! It's dreadfully distress
sing, because, as she plaintively ex-
plains, II can't just make my eyes be-
have" But by metropolitan theater-
goers it is readily remembered that
in the "Wild Rose" days those eyes
were not of the unmanageable brand
and it is only since she budded in that
garden of scandal that May Macken-
zie's optical organs have become the
"wickedest in all New York
A little wisp of girl, with a tiny
face, enormous eyes and 1.-the figure
incased in a cadet uniform, sang sol
der song in "The Wild Rose" and
caught the publics fleeting fancy. She
was Marguerite Clark, the dainty
coincidence whose child-like charm
has endeared her to the hearts of
theater-goers Before her advent in
"The Wild Rose the youthful actress
had appeared in several road compa-
MES whose tours invariably ended dis
astrously, but once under the peculiar
charm of that rose garden, fame gave
the little girl a helping hand, which
she found to hold fortune as we'll.
The small petals of the inconspicuous
soubrette have grown into the full
bloom of a musical comedy star, and
who shall say that "The Wild Rose"
was not instrumental in Marguerite
Clark's success?

viii Search for Fossils.

S. P. Werner points out that the re-
cent discovery of the chimpanzee in a
part of Africa where it had not been
known to exist enables us to define a
few regions where the gorilla, the
chimpanzee and the pygmies exist in
conditions suggestive of the possibility
of discovering the fossils of their an
cestry in good preservation. The pyg-
mics are now known to have existed
practically in stu for 5000 years, and
it is probable. Mr.. Werner thinks, that

oBsEoUIEs OF PRINCE DAVID.
How an American Royalty Received a
State Funeral.

The recent death of Prince David,
heir presumptive of the old line of
Hawaiian kings, and the brother Of
Prince Jonah, the present delegate at
Washington, was an event of great
interest in Hawaii, says the Youth
Companion.
Never before, surely, was a state
funeral accorded by order OF the
United States to person of royal
blood resident within the national do
main.
The native Hawaiians, still deeply
attached to the ancient dynasty, found
great satisfaction in the honor; and
the state funeral of an American SUBJ
ject became in all it's details the royal
funeral of a Hawaiian sovereign.
The body of Prince David lay in
state in Honolulu. At midnight, with
no light, the coffin with all the royal
regalia was borne to the throneroom.
The approaches to the capitol were
guarded by the militia, and all day
long a continuous procession of all
nationalities poured in at one door
and out at another.
The room is beautiful and it was
filled with wonderous kahilis-the
feather Trees permitted only to roy
atty, graceful, fountainlike masses of
feathers, thousands in each kahili,
and in all exquisite and vivid tints Of
tropic plumage; some all scarlet,
some white, some lavender, some yell
low and some brown.
Over the bier of the dead prince lay
a priceless great feather robe, soft and
glowing, of yellow touched with scar
let By his side stood native Ha-
waiians, in deep black, with shoulder
capes of yellow feathers and black
and white kahilis; they were as mo-
tionless as bronze statues. Beyond
them were more guards, then a line
of mourning women of royal blood.
At the end of the room were flowers.
loved of Hawaiians.
In the deep recess of a window were
grouped the chanters, reciting aloud
the deeds of the princes ancestors
and wailing for his death-"a sound"

the creeps run down ones spine.'

for divorce. naming Evelyn Thaw as
one of the correspondents.
Some nine years previously Adele
Rice, Baltimore beauty of note, had
startled Manhattan and southern thea
trical circles by marrying the theatre
cal manager, George w. Lederer, few
hours after his release from former
marital letters. For many years the
Lederers safely sailed the domestic
seas, steering clear of matrimonial
breakers in the form of chorus girls.
While Mrs. Lederer managed matri-
mony, Mr. Lederer managed many a
musical show. Chorus girls would
come and chorus girls would go, as far
as George Lederer was concerned,
until he found himself tending this

by the spell of its uncanny beauty

Success, but of a slightly different
kind. has crowned the career of Hattie
Forsythe. whose charms have become
the toast of Paris, London and New
York. Since her appearance as show
girl in "The Wild Rose" Hattie For
sythe's rise has been rapid and radiant
and her brilliant beauty has not shone
behind the footlights for several years.
Instead Palm Beach, Paris and the
Riviera have gaped at the gowns and
Jewels of the former show grid, who
has won admiring attention of Russian
princes, Italian counts and rich Ameri-
cans. To several persons of high de.

been rumored, and it is reported that
her latest assiduous admirer is a

A Lonsdale's breach of
promise suit against
Blaine Elkins were reverberating
through the theatrical world, recalls in
rather startling way the production
of "The Wild Rose" at the Knicker-
booker theater in 1902 For it adds
one more to the strange blossoms in
that garden of romances, tragedies
and scandals which has grown up
around the men and women Of "The
Wild Rose" production.
1t seems as if some fatality must
have hung over that company of ac-
tors and actresses, and that it has pur-
sued them inexorably ever since those
days when they were first assembled
together. True, few of the romances
have the pure tint and the sweet SAVIOR
of the wild rose" from which they
sprang, but they are rare bright spots
in a wild, rank garden, in which there
are few roses that have not a canker-
worm in their heart.
A wonderful human rose bush was
that production, and blossom after
blossom has since borne fruit in dra-
mas of real life. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
the theater-going world saw her at
her prettiest there; May Mackenzie,
Ada Louise Lonsdale, Maize Toilette,
Edna Goodrich, Hattie Forsythe, Mar
guerite Clark and Irene Bentley-can
you picture fairer blossoms from liv-
ing American Beauty rose bush? And
gardener of that parterre, the manager
of this aggregation of charming WON
en-George w. Lederer-even he fell
under the spell which marked 1.-THE
Wild Rose" as the bush from which
grew matrimony, divorce and, some
times, the trail of sin which in more
than one instance led to criminal
courts.

cessful musical comedy had fallen a
victim to the strange influence exer-
cised by ''The Wild Rose" and through
his connection with it had earned only
a divorce decree, says the New York
World.
Praised by Stanford White.
The brunette beauty of Edna Good
rich was one of the richest blossoms of
''The Wild Rose" and while in that
company she attracted the attention
of the famous architect, Stanford
White. He was a good judge of roses
and he spread the fame of the beauty.
From the ranks of show girls Edna
Goodrich was soon plucked by Nat
Goodwin, who wore her, as it were, in
his buttonhole as leading lady. Those
who went to the theater to scott re-
mained-if not to pray-at least to
gasp at the beauty of this leading lady
who had tripped the light fantastic in
'The Wild Rose"
Not content with becoming a lead
ing lady, Edna Goodrich again stepped
into the international spotlight by
playing the leading part in triangu-
lar love affair. While buying a trous-
seau in Paris at the close of the last
theatrical season, presumably to be-
come the bride of a millionaire mine
owner named Mcmillan, the ex-chorus
girl led Nat Goodwin a love chase
from Paris to San Francisco. The
world looked laughed and gasped
again when with perfect equanimity
the tickle footlight lady broke her en-
gagement to the man of the mines at
the same time that the noted comedi-
an was divorced from Americas most
beautiful actress, Maxine Elliott. Nat
Goodwin and Miss Goodrich were mar
ried and, presumably, the former show
girl is blessing "The Wild Rose" bush
from which she bloomed into fame and
fortune.
