DOWN IN GOTHAM.

Stray Topics From Little Old New
YOrk-Clara Morris Near the End.
Panic in Picture House and Othet
Gossip.
Completely blind and suffering from
,nAammatory rheumatism, Clara Nor
us, once a famous emotional actress,
is awaiting her end at her home, The
Pines, Riyerdale Avenue, Yonkers.
That is sad enough in itself, but be-
comes infinitely more pathetic by the
fact that the famous actress and
writer is at the point of losing her
cherished home for the maintenance
Of which she worked so hard and sac
rificed her life. Clara Morris, who in
private life is Mrs. Frederick c.. Har-
riott bought The Pines about 25
years ago. The porperty was orig
irally part of the Edwin Forrest cs-
tate. There are two mortgages upon
Tie property, the firsc mortgage for
$4,000, the second for $1,000. The
aged actress, who had been compelled
to leave the stage owing to nervous
breakdown Is years ago, could not
keep up the payment of interest ow-
day the mortgage was foreclosed and
the house ordered sold. 1t is believed
that the unfortunate woman will
probably never know that she is at
the point of becoming homeless, as it
is feared she may dte before the day
of the sale.
Chinatown Excited.
Chinatown has furnished consider
able excitement during the past week
or so. The Tongs have been on the
war path again, in spite of the love
feasts of two months ago and the
to establish an entente between the
two principal hostile factions Many
citizens are of the opinion that it is
mistaken idea of its duty which
prompts the police department to in
terfere with the occasional outbreaks
of the longs. 1t would undoubtedly
be much simpler to let the Tongs fight
it out between themselves and settle
all feuds after the fashion of the
legendary Kilkenny cats.
Panic Caused BY Indian.
There was quite a panic at one Of
the moving picture houses on Thi d
Avenue the other night. The Forest
Ranger" wos on the hill, wild and
woolly western melodrama, with In
dian massacres and similar diver
sions. To increase the realism of the
moving picture show an alleged Indi-
an chief accompanied the most saw
age scenes depicted with blood curdl-
ing war-whoops. At the most eXcit-
ing moment woman who attended
the show with her infant boy, became
hysterical She dropped the baby and
fell into fit from which she could
not be aroused. There was panic
but it soon subsidized and the woman
was taken to the hospital. where the
doctors expressed little hope for hel
recovery.
