Henry Miller and a very competent

Belasco.
The prestige Mr. Wise has won by the
delineation Of certain distinctive types Of
character aroused hearty interest in his
new play, IAN Old New Yorker" The
purpose Of the piece is interesting. 1t
undertakes to remind the audience that
Broadway is not all there is OF New
York; that there are households OF Sc
questered conservatism and traditional
dignity, where the simple but severe
customs OF early society prevail. 1t is,
however, with the business world rather
than of the social world that the story
deals. The piece, without displaying
much energetic ingenuity as to situa-
lions or climaxes, has many quaint and
sincere touches, and the central char
acter affords congenial opportunity for
Mr.. Wise's individual methods. His role
is that OF a conservative old-umer In the
commercial aristocracy of the metropolis.
VINO d1sdains the grinding methods OF
monopoly. and stays out of a combine
to control West India trade rather than
assist In squeezing his business friends.

New Yorker dictates on terms Of senti-
ment. These generous terms leave him
without funds to rebuild the enterprise
which has been his Hfework. The lad
does not realize his financial hopes; the
new combination does not prosper and
in the last act. the old New Yorker is re-
established in business with a generous
capital supplied by friendly subscription
The play may not be accurate finance,
but 1t is unquestionably wholesome senti-
ment. with dash Of gentle humor that
heightens the effects of Mr.. Wises faith

suggest a dashingly modern style of
treatment. and in some of the scenes the
actlon moved with a elaboration hardly
warranted by the effects attained. A
series OF character types are introduced.

Who is to have custody of Catherine
former Policeman Charles G. Baston,
now confined in the District Jail awaiting
removal to penitentiary under life
sentence for the murder Of his wife, is
a problem which will be decided by the
courts.
The child, now nearly two years of
age, has been, until recently, in the care
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Strignidz, 1881
the late Mrs. Baston.
Mrs. A. c. Shoemaker Of OBI 18th
street northwest. mother of Baston, has
possession of the baby at present. Mrs
Shoemaker and her daughter, Mrs. Nettie
Fisher, with whom she dwells, called
yesterday morning. and said they wanted
to take the child to Jail to see it's
father.
"They came here about 10 O'Clock and
told me they wanted to take the baby
to the JAIL said Mrs. Strignidz. Il
dressed Catherine in her best clothes. and
let them take her.
They said they would return between
1 and o'clock. Mrs. Fisher came to
my house with letter, however, later.
"She handed me the letter and at the
same time said: My mother has decided
to take care of Catherine" said Mrs.
Strignidz.
'.The letter read: 4 have decided to
turn over my baby to my mother. You
will please turn over all personal prop
erty to her. 1t was signed by Charles
BaSton."

Mrs. Strignidz declared she was so
angry she refused to allow Mrs. Fisher
to take the go-cart, high chair and other
articles belonging to the child.

for her ever since"
Mrs. Strignidz declared she and her
husband would take their case to court
and endeavor to regain possession of the
child.
AS soon as Mrs. Fisher had left the
house yesterday afternoon Mrs. Strignidz
informed her husband of the occurrence.
He communicated with Capt. Schneider
of the seventh precinct.
The police, however, will be unable to
do anything in the matter until the case
Is decided by the courts. In the mean
time the child will probably remain in
possession Of Mrs. Shoemaker.
When a Star reporter called at Mrs.
Fishers home today he was informed
that Mrs. Shoemaker had nothing to say
regarding the taking of the child.
I'VE have the baby and she is going TO
stay with u.s." said Mrs. Fisher. Mr..
Baston gave my mother possession Of
the child yesterday when we went out to

and her mother had refused to return
the child to Mrs. Strignidz yesterday
after they had taken her to see her
father. Further than that, Mrs. Fisher
said she had nothing more to say.
