THAW AND DIVORCE
Because Evelyn Dined With a
Certain Thomas, He Will
Ask for a Decree.
DOES NOT VISIT HARRY.

New York, Feb. 1o.-Harry X Thaw
is to take immediate steps, either di-
rectly or through his family to obtain
a divorce from Evelyn Eesbit Thaw.
This announcement was made on au-
thority following the statement that
young Mrs. Thaw was the unchaperon-
ed guest of E. r. Thomas, the well
known financier at dinner in the Cafe
Boulevard.
Mrs. Thaw has discontinued her Wis
its to her husband at Matteawan and
has said positively that she will not go
there again. Her decision has been
made known to her friends, and there
is no longer any secrecy among the
members of the Thaw family.
The publicity of the alleged dinner
with E. r. Thomas precipitated the an
nouncement of the breach. There has
been a good deal of talk, however, OF
the friendship of young Mrs. Thaw for
another prominent New Yorker and
this is said to have provoked an out
burst OF rage while he was still in
the Tombs. Later he made the state
ment to a newspaper reporter in eX-
tenuation of Mrs. Thaw that he had
requested this man to befriend his wife
during his Imprisonment in order that
she might not be too lonely.
A. Russell Peabody. one of Thaw' S
lawyers. said that he was not aware
that Mrs. Thaw dined with Thomas, or
that they were even acquainted. If
such was the case, however, he saw
nothing unusual in it.
so far as | know there has been no
break between Thaw and his WIFE" he
said.

CHARMS FOR LUCK.

The Sort Of SNperstitions Some Wall
Street Men Harbor.
Let all the dear readers, feminine
gender, take cognizance Of what fol-
lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
all, the stronger sex. Women know no
such AFFECT obedience to superstitious
fears and signs as do the men. With
a view to eliciting something Of inter
est, the writer had chance to put a
certain question to captain Of indus
try. '"Tut, tut" he replied suspicious
ly, you'd be getting me into trouble,
would your With promise that no
names would be mentioned, he finally
agreed to tell thing or two.
The question was. Aren't men in
Wall street carrying all sorts Of queer
things to try to change their luck?"
In answer to this the writer heard
some curious stories. One man Of
worldwide fame, for example, carries
a cane in the center of which there is
a slender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made Of leather and Of
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring is
made of leather from the soles of the
shoes worn by the Millionaire during
what he considered his luckiest year.
Elephants and pigs as lucky charms
there are Of course in plenty, but the
proper caper is to wear the animal
pinned inside ON the watch fob pocket.
Then there is another great financier
who carries with him gold ink well
and would never sign document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon time, when he had, say, only a
picayune million or two, he signed a
paper in a deal that doubled, then ire
bled, his wealth. The ink used that
day was emptied into long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The ink
was used up, but to the well, so he
thinks, the good luck power has been
translated. Lucky coins pass from IA
ther to son in several of the multimil-
lionaire families, and the man who in.
herits them would never be without
them. We have few secret drawers in
desks or doors in houses, as they had
in olden times, but there are many Sc
cret pockets in the suits made by
smart Enthusiastically Life.

A HUMBLE HEROINE.
Mother Mary Teresa and the Cross of
the Legion of Honor.

the Legion of Honor.
Some years ago in a city in France
all the soldiers were drawn up on tho
plaza. A woman in the habit of char
ity was called out in front of the gov
ernor general. and this is what he said:
Mother Mary Teresa, when you
We're twenty years of age you received
a wound from Il cannon ball while as
sisting one of the wounded on the
field at Balaklava. In 1859 the shell
from a mitrailleuse laid you PROSTATE
in the front ranks on the battlefield Of
Magenta. Since then you have been in
Syria, in China and in Mexico, and II
you We're not wounded it was not be-
cause you have not exposed yourself.
I'm 1870 you were taken up in Refs
choffen covered with many saber
wounds. Such deeds of heroism you
crowned a few weeks ago with one Of
the most heroic actions which history
records. A grenade fell upon the am
bulance which was under your charge.
You took up the grenade in your arms:
you smiled upon the wounded who
looked at you with feelings of dismay;
you carried it a distance of eighty me-
ters. On laying it down you noticed
that it was going to burst. You threw
yourself on the ground; it burst. You
We're seen covered with blood, but
when persons came to your assistance
you rose up smiling, as is your wont.
You We're scarcely recovered from your
wound when you returned to the hos
pital whence l have now summoned
you"
Then the general made her kneel
down and, drawing his sword, touched
her lightly with it three times on the
shoulder and pinned the cross of the
Legion of Honor on her habit, saying:
Il put upon you the cross of the
brave in the name of the French people
and army. No one has gained it by
more deeds of heroism nor by a life so
completely spent in self abnegation for
the benefit of your brothers and the
service Of your country. Soldiers, pre-
sent arms!'
The troops saluted. the drums and
'bugles rang out. the air was filled with
loud acclamations, and all was jubila.
