Maxwell street station after having
been chained for five days by the an

unnatural idea of punishment

a charge of cruelty to children.
The boy was given only one meal
a day. His mother was threatened
with the same punishment if she
gave him more or released him from
the chains.
The boys plight was discovered
when several of his boy friends heard
him moaning and reported the matter
to the police.

tion of Professional Baseball leagues
during today's session. One committee
was assigned the problem of devising
a way whereby a uniform style of con-

In communication to the conven-
tion the national commission made the
suggestion of Uniformity The greatest
obstacle now apparent, baseball men
say, Is the possible insertion of clause
requiring a player to be given notice
of release 10 days prior to the time
the release can be made effective. 1t
is understood that class leagues are
willing to work under this plan, but
those In classes b, C and ID do not
favor the idea of having to carry and
pay useless player for 10 days.

read the portion of her report advising
United Daughters of the Confederacy
members to discourage attempts to get
pensions for Confederate veterans from
the government.
Mrs. White announced that Virginia for

W. LOvE'LETTER ?sgMe) Me)


One of the prettiest love stories of the
stage is that between Thomas Otway,
the dramatist, and Elizabeth Barry. the
actress. Mrs. Parry filled the leading
parts In the initial performances of all
otway's plays. and for her he conceived
an absorbing passion, which was largely
contributed to the ruin of his career. The
actress treated her admirer with coquet-
lsh dsdain.
Elizabeth Barry Is said to have been
the daughter of Edward Barry, a barris-
ter, who. during the civil wars, raised IL
regiment for Charles and was subse-
quently known as Colonel Barry. While
Elizabeth had many lovers, the one to
whom she was most constant was John
Wilmot, the licentious Earl of Rochester,
he whose satire is SO well known. anu
which he inscribed upon the door OF
Charles lis bed chamber
Here lies our sovereign lord, the King,
Whose word no man relies on:
Who never said foolish thing
And never did wise one.'
A group of Rochesters letters survive
to throw some light upon his liaison with
Mrs. Barry, to whom, II Is believed, ne
gave the most sincere love of his de-
bauched career. In one of them, In part.
he wrote:
Madam: So much wit and beauty as
you have should think of nothing less
than doing miracles: and there cannot
be a greater than to continue to love me;
affecting everything Is mean, as loving
pleasure, and being fond where you find
merit; but to pick out the widest and
most fantastical odd man alive, and TO
place your kindness there, is an act as
brave and daring as will show the great
ness of your spirit and distinguish you
In love, as you are in all things else.
from womankind."
Dramatic authorship in Otway's day
was not very profitable vocation.
Through destitution and despair he was
gradually dra agged down lower and lower,
but he kept on struggling. Finally he
brought out his Venice Preserved"
which has become a permanent memorial
to his genius and which is often rated as
one Of the finest tragic dramas since
Shakespeare. With Mrs Barry as the
original "Belvidera." the play took Lon
don by storm, but poor Otway found no
helping hand to lift him up.
His letters to Mrs. Barry, judging by in
ternal evidence, began with his return
from soldering in the Low Countries, il.
