near together in the little, shady
side street. The Benedict is for
men only, while the Berenice

with independent spinsters, who

lit is only a matter of a little neck
stretching to talk from the Bene-
dict to the Berenice.
1t was in the Berenice that Miss
Anna Whitney was playing with
light. dreamy touch, 1.-THE Lay OF
THE Red-Plumed knight AS she
|sat, one foot on the soft pedal, her
mood in delicious accord with the
|mellow-toned reverie, large
|red-faced man occupied the win
dow in the Benedict directly op-
|posite, and began to beat the time
|of the air with both his pudgy
hands.
The girl, astonished. ceased to
play; and then the stranger
reused: "Play. play-do not stop
der music!" he ordered, in sudden
vexation.
The girl, half-amused, haitian
CRY, resumed the Red Knights
plant, and looking up she saw that
her strange auditor beat rapt time
once more, his Teuton face a study
of beautiful contemplation, until
giving vent to a hearty chuckle he
darted away from the window.
The next evening, as Miss Whit
ney sat dreaming out of the win
dow, Herr Ludwig Wagner craned
his plump neck out from the Bene-
dict once more.
"Please-please to play some
dings!" he begged. 80 dot work

Miss Whitney, smilingly indulg-

sang a song Of moonlight in Ven

the stars and beat time with his

triumphant cackie he disappeared
as on the previous evening.

KATHERINE WRIGHT AND THE RECEPTION AT DAYTON
(WHICH MOST APPEALED TOO HER-TALKING WITH OLD
NEIGHBORS OVER THE BACK FENCE.
BY Dorothy Dale.

BY Dorothy Dale.
DAYTON, o., May 26.-You
bask in the smile of a dear, sweet,
unaffected little woman when you
talk to Katherine Wright.
Not all the handshakes and all
the compliments of all the kings
of the world could turn the head
Of her.
When I called I found her gra-
cious and willing to help me,
though she does not like publicity.
This is because she is SO natural.
The very first thing she did
when she reached her Dayton
home, after riding in a carriage
with her famous brothers down q
lane of 10000 adoring people, was
to run out into the back yard.
And, over the backyard fence,
she talked to her neighbors. 1t was
very natural talk.
OF course she told about meet
ing King Edward and King Alton
so. How she did laugh about it,;
and how her friends, the neigh
bors, laughed. To meet real
kings! Ha! Ha! Folks from
Hawthorne ST., Dayton, o., meet
ing kings. They all laughed some
more. Then they became sober, at
the wonder of it; at the wonder
of the great achievements Of the
two citizens of Dayton.
1t didn't take the neighbors
long, talking over the back fence,
to find that Katherine Wright was
the same natural woman they had
known when she was teaching
Latin in the Steel high school.
II had a splendid time" she
told me. eat Pau we played bridge
almost every evening. love
bridge. There were some very
pleasant American people there,
and We had some delightful
"They did tell lot of funny
stories about me. They said In the
in France that I had
given my brothers money, to help
them. l never did that at all.
Some of the folks in Dayton
pitied me when 1 left for France.
Poor Katherine! She has only
one gown, I'm afraid one girl
said. 1t was lucky that l had sew
eral gowns. The pity was all
wasted.
II think will go back to teach
ing in the high school. can't live
without doing something"
II can't live without doing
is the Wright family's
motto.
1t is the spirit that has put the
family name as high on the tablet
of fame as the names of Edison,
Fulton, Bell and Marconi.
II gave up teaching last year."

DENVER, Colo, May 90
Neglect of Christian education in

LITTLE OSCAR NOW
HAS NEW HOME
Little Oscar Carlson has a good

Little Oscar Carlson has a good
home.
H. w. Myers, the hardware and
furniture man on South X and
Twelfth street, this morning took
him to his residence.
We have no children, you
know, and this little follow seems
Hike bright and interesting chap,
70 we win adopt him." said Mr..
Myers.
It is all strange to little Oscar.
+ He Il not old enough to realize
the full force of the unhappy en-
y1ronnaent In which he has been
living but he seems bright and apt
and will soon settle into his new
home and find conditions much
more desirable.
The neighborhood in the vicin-
~ Of the Requa home, ON South
street. is very much agitated
ver the whole case today. Mayor
sinck has also been kept busy on
The telephone answering calls from
ypefsons who wanted to take the
child and the Who'll city seems to
have suddenly become interested
since the publication of the article
IN last nights Times that the
child would be given away, be-
cause he could not live with his
efepfather. Many were incensed
~ the stepfather and wanted ac-
tiOn taken to compel him to do
something for the child.
One neighbor of Requa rushed
to the mayor this afternoon and
declared Requa had Just told him
re could not stand the trouble at
hls home. The neighbor seemed
10 think domestic infelicity had
grown out of the affair and that
people were unduly criticising
Redua
Requa declared to him he would
kill himself unless the situation
improved, and the neighbor want
ed the mayor TO go right down and
try to strasghten things out.
ReQua, it Is said, is a member
Of the Eagles lodge and he has
1000 in bank. 1t appears that
hard times was not the cause of
his antagonlsrl to the little hoy,
but simply jealousy of the poor
little fellow which he could not
overcome.
Little Oscar is now out of it, and
IN his new home every opportunity
Will be given for him to be happy.

QUEER MIXQP.
IN ANONYMOUS
LETTER CASE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SACRAMENTO, Cal, May &c.
From high tragedy to deep mys-
terry, the Hains-Lewis-Co ppin an
onymous letter case, which has
been the bone of gossip the past
few days. appears to be dropping
into grotesque comedy. Joe Cop
pin, who was mentioned in the
anonymous Lewis letters received
by himself and Miss Hams, and at
first were connected with the sup
posed woman suicide of Chicago,
made public the report of hand
writing expert of San Francisco
that at least one of the letters
which he received was written by
Miss Hams herself.
This morning, before leaving for
San Francisco, Miss Hams was
seen at the train and declared that
the same handwriting expert who
had reported to Coppin had told
her that one of the anonymous
letters received by her was in
Coppin's handwriting.
Miss Hams also introduced, a
girl from Goldfield" into the case
stating that friend of Coppin s
who lived there, was at first sus-
pected Of writing the letters.
Miss Hams declares that the
whole thing will be cleared up in
a few days. To complicate the
mystery attending the supposed
death of Mrs. Caroline Lewis in
the waters of Lincoln park lake,
Chicago, a month ago, word was
received here today that Mrs.
Lewis is alive and we'll in Chicago.

The evidence given today in the

open for the happy ending"
Miss Bates is not always convincing,
many times she is too plainly acting. but
this is mainly during the lighter moments
Of the play. At the end. when she is called
upon for tense, earnest effort, she meets
the situation most effectively, and with
force enough to carry the point and yet
leave the impression that she has not
exhausted her powers Of expression.
Mr.. Stills shows very well the stress under
which Burton Temple moved till his name

man who would willingly 80 to prison for

To bring the Nebraska university in ath-

Of the members of the BOARD and Chancel-
lor Samuel Avery to employ "a permanent
coach to take charge OF all athletics at the
university and to have charge OF the teams
in the different lines Of the work.
The board informally discussed the propo-
sition at a meeting held in the city on
Thursday, but took no, action. At this time.
they do not believe it will be possible to
employ a coach and pay him a salary from
funds that are. derived by taxation, but in
timated that other plans are being dis
cussed. chancellor Avery said, after the
meeting closed yesterday; 1--WE employ a
coach for the foot bali team for three
month"; each year and his salary is much
greater in proportion to what his yearly
salary would amount to. We wish to en-
ploy an athletic coach by the year, but are
unable, at this time to say how we will
raise the funds to- pay him. No person
has yet been named for the position"

Blanche Bates faced a rather critical
audience at the Boyd last night; folks who
had come out in the cold to the theater
because they expected a great deal from
the star and her company. For this rea-
son. perhaps, the curtain went Town on
the first act to a rather Indifferent patter
of applause But It went down on the second
with an audience sitting up and taking no
tice, and the curtain calls must have con-
WINGED the actress that she had at least
enlisted the sympathy of her listeners, II
she had not fully convinced them. And
that the audience sat after the final curtain
while Miss Bates and Mr.. Sills were being
called out to bow their thanks is as good
evidence as can be offered that she had
won.
T Fighting Hope Is so we'll known
In its story form that it seems a waste
OF effort to outline the story. For fear
some may not have CHANGED to read it, a
word or two may be permitted. Robert
Granger is convicted OF a crime in con-
nectlon with the funds OF a trust company
Of which he Is treasurer. His wife be-
lieves him innocent. and so do a large
number of others, who think the real Gull
prit is Burton Temple, president OF the
company. Mrs. Granger, under guise OF a
photographer and secretary, seeks employ
ment with Temple, that she may secure
proof OF her husbands Innocence. This Is
not so much because OF her devotion 10
him as because she worships her boys and
wants to clear their fathers name for their
sakes. But she finds Temple TO be the
ideal man OF her girlhood dreams, and he
naturally falls in love with her. Temple
is indicted, and the only thing that will
save him is the convincing proof OF Gran
gers Sult. This ~ -ound In the form OF a
letter IN the treasurer's own Handwriting.
The wife destroys this letter, and then
realizes that she Is sending an innocent
man TO prison to save a guilty one. To
make the situation stronger. Temple, sure
Of clearing his name. confesses his love
for his secretary and asks her to become
his wife. She then tells him all the truth.
The case seems hopeless, but Granger turns
up a. an escaped rusty, and seeks 70 force
his wife TO accompany him. She learns
that he stole for another woman, and turns
against him. Then he threatens 20 sxposs
