.{OUANDERS HER FORTUNE
IN AIhLESS TRAVELLING

NEW YORK, May 5.-Recurrence OF a
mental trouble is said by her father and
other relatives to have caused Mrs.
Charles B. Grant, jr., 80 squander her
estate of more than $1,000 in aimless
travelling since January.
Her husband and two children were
made homeless through Mrs. Grants ac-
tlou In selling her home in Binghamton
recently. The children, three and two
years old, are now i'll with scarlet fever,
while Mrs. Grants old father Cornelius
Brooks, is at the home or his son-in-law
in a penniless condition He says his
daughter brought him there two weeks
ago from his home in Oxford and
abandoned him.
Neither Mrs. Grants husband nor
father knows where she is. She wrote q
letter several days ago from Bingham
ton, saying she was visiting friends at
the insane asylum. She often lad Wis
tied there after being discharged as a
patient
Wherever she IS, her relatives think
he Is without money, except what she
obtains from ministers and lawyers by
methods they say she has adopted since
this last OF her fortune disappeared.
Since she began her wandering in jan
uary, the woman has been at her hus-
bands home several times, but after a
day or two her reStlessness would again
take possession Of her and she would
start forth on another journey.

Thirty thousand See Circus;

Thirty thousand children, some OF
them appearing like grown-ups. but
children for the nonce, went to the cir

but always new sensation OF sitting on
a hard seat, oblivious OF it's hardness,
opening their eyes wide so as not TO
miss a single thing. staring in silent
wonder at the acrobats. laughing at the
antics OF the merry-making clowns. and
gazing intensely at the inevitable
-thrillingly sensational climax"
a beautiful and inspiring spectacle,
a brilliant Kaleidoscope vision OF ami
mated and srridescent wonders. replete
with splendOT. magnihcence. and lavish
productivity. and embOdying the rare and
radiant elements of a sumptuously

The circus as It is presented this time
has many features which IL did not
have in the days of Wiuie's father.
There was no parody on the Merry
Widow hat parading around the saw
dust ring IN those days. And that
particular Merry Widow that cavorted
around the ring in Barnum & Bailey's
is no grOtesque eXaggeration either, for
II only has a diameter OF fifty inches.
