END YOUNG woMAN,s CAREER

The body Of Bessie Toone, niece OF
former President VIM. H. Newman, of
the New York Central Railroad, who
went to New York when she was a
Young girl and ruined her life in the
theatrical district, was shipped back to
Marshall, Tex, Sunday for burial. She
died on Friday at q hotel in the theatrl-
cal district. She was 81 years old.
Her career had been varied one.
The daughter OF r. II. Toone, rail
way man Of Texas, she early wanted to
study for the stage. She spent some
time in a dramatic school, toured the
south in Pinero's Iris with private
backing, and then went into stock COM
pany work. She married Joe Willard,
a vaudeville song-and-dance man. For
a time they played on the vaudeville
circuit sketch entitled La Belle
Marie" portraying q mistreated and
jealous wife.
Mr.. Newman disinherited her, it was
said at the time, and she went back to
her people in Texas. Unable to get the
fascination OF the stage out OF her
blood, she again took to stock COM
pany work. Last year she was en-
gagged to 60 on the road with one OF the
Harvard Moon" companies.
Of late her stage attempts had been
unsuccessful. She was arrested several
times, sometimes for intoXication, but
influential friends always got her out OF
these legal troubles. Her advice to
girls was to keep away from the stage.
1T looks romantic, she said, but it
is only brutal.

THREATENING LETTERS.

A threatening letter, predicting
death for several justices and mem
bers of the district attorneys staff,
has been received by the district attor-
ney's Office in New York.
Those in the Office say that the SEN
der may be traced by looking up
recent releases from Sing Sing and by
taking account of what the writer says
of his own case. The letter was mailed
at the Grand Central Station. 1t was
addressed to the District Attorney of
New York" on the envelope and was
dated on the letter New York, August
S, 1910"
The letter begins abruptly and ends
withour signature.
Il am now free man after three
years sentence in Sing Sing, along
with three others, whom I have made
friends. We have decided TO deal out
a death sentence to Judge O'Sullivan,
Judge Maroon (NIaloney?), Judge Faw-
sett, Judge Rosalsky, District Attor-
ney Ely, Hart and two others. Our
lives are not worth living. cannot
locate my wife and children. l was
charged with grand larceny. And as
sure as God is in heaven | was inno-
cent, and / am also sure that many a
man in state prison is innocent. The
day is not far when some of the above
names mentioned will be thing OF
the past. This may be taken as 4
joke, but wait for results. It is a
disgrace to the world to see q married
man taken from his family just be-
cause certain people 60 to the district
attorney and swear they were swindled.
If people are fools enough to give an
other person money, let them suffer.
1t is all right to send q criminal to
prison, but not people who take money
for investment purposes and lose it. "

TO MAKE LEMONADE OF OCEAN

The Red Star liner Laplanu plans &c
turn at least a considerable portion OF
the Atlantic Ocean into lemonade: She
sailed for Antwerp Saturday carrying
l 200, 900 lemons, which her crew will
dump into the ocean as soon rs the
vessel gets far enough from land. The
consignment was sent from Antwerp tc
a commission merchant in New York
on August ?, but he would not accept
them because the fruit was oyerripe, he
said. So the board Of health stepped
in and ordered the lemons removed.
