The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-03-27

She is the wife of a prominent off | cial of the New York City Railway Company and received the securities l and money from her father, whose death occurred recently.
 The death in Bellevue Hospital the other day of Jenny Joyce, famous twenty years ago as one of the most attractive women on the American stage, marks the passing of another of the brilliant orbS of the f0otlights who once upon time was the toast of every gay blade in town. In the days when Roster & Bial's Music Hall was the nightly rendezvous of the nfCst volatile spirits in New York and the 'cork room" throbbed with the flow of French vintages, the songbird com manded the attention of a queen. Old birds of the chase and c1ucking young ones fought with each other for the opportunity of taking her out to sup per after the show and in lhvishing faVors upon her. She had regal figure, which she was not averse to displaying in silk tights. and spright- 1y beauty that drew all the high roll CTS in Gotham to her side. The pa thetic death of the one time favorite recalled to many the incident of the smitten young man from Chicago who one night tossed her a bouquet from stage box, in which were two unset diamonds worth BIO, 900. She played with all of those who courted her fa- vor until she grew tired of them and then tossed them aside for a new set of admirers. Her jewels and gowns at this time would dazzle a Princess. The gay life played havoc with her beauty and gave a harsh metallic ring to the once soft, velvet-like voice, which in the early days captivated all who heard her. Of late years she had been playing subordinate parts in and without friends, she was taken to the city hospital last week, suffering from pneumonia and survived but few days.
 Speculation is keen as to how much Andrew Carnegie lost through his over-confidence in the mana cement of the failed trust company bearing his name. It Is the widespread impress sion that it will top a million or more. During the panic of 1907, at the earn est solicitation of his protege, Charles NJ. Schwab, former president of the Steel Trust. he loaned the company s2.000,o00 of Steel bonds to help it tide yer the depression. While most of
 his was returned later 1t is reported 1ow that the recent management of
 he company prevailed upon him to advance it other sums which have not )een paid back. On his return from
 he South last week the Iron Master vas keenly put out over the state
 nent that some of the officials of the ,ompany had represented that one of
 he big safes in the deposit valuts in
 he basement was Uncle Andy's'', and
 hat while his name did not figure
 the directorate of the company, he
 vas heavily interested in it. On the 'trength of these intimations large number of debating depos1tors became customers of the now defunct institu
 ion. As a matter of fact, the Lair6 if the Slxibo Castle never was the
 wf1er of any stock in the concern The fact that he was used as 'come ,n'' for suckers has upset the old mar
 nore than anything that has occurred
 many years. It is regarded as no
 improbable that he will reimburse
 hose who can satisfy him that they were induced to put money in the Car legie Trust Company believing tha
 e was it's packer.
 sThe ''tippling'' of fashionable womer
 n New York has provoked Dr. Henry smith Williams, a prominent loca practitioner, to call attention in z 'ublic statement to the heavy price
 hey have to pay for the privilege O
 ndulging their weakness for strons 'quor. Discussing the question, ;ums up the toll thus:
 "A woman pays more for alcoho
 han does a man.
 "A woman loses her good looks trough drinking more readily tha' 1oes a man, because her looks are O finer character.
 ''She dulls her morals more easily because she has more morals to dull
 ''She ruins her health more quickly Aecause she is more highly organized.
 'fWomen are actually and innately more moral than men from the ser ,oint of view" he added. '''They are
 " nature. and they have been mad -o through all the years they wert practically property and guarded af -uch. Unauestionably drink does i'm pair the morals of anybody, and :; woman loses more than a man, be- ,ause she has more to lose.
 "And as for the effect of alcohol on | woman's good looks, it does not neeS ! scientist to know that woman ohysical attractiveneSs is of a far more delicate order than mans. Her skin is finer than a mans; her looke if freshness and youth more easily impaired. A woman may drink a lit He each day for years and not show t for years. but sooner or later alco- aol is bound to destroy any claims to d main reason why woman should not 1rink is the deepest reason of all " Dr. Williams went on. ''If additional ,vidence of the aIl-pervading influence of alcohol is required. it may be found in the thought compelling fact that he effects are not limited to the in 1ividual who imbibes the alcohol. but may be passed on to her descendants The offspring of an alcoholic woman show impaired vitality of the most Ieep-seated character"
 By the decision of the Appellate Di- vision of the Supreme Court.

Under the ruling of the court. the daughter will receive s1,- 800 GOO from the estate and her mother about S1 100000. The balance will go to P cousins and other heirs who have been seeking for many years through the courts to establish the fact that the Countess had never mar haf
