JUNIOR BROWNS
WIDOW ON STAGE
Former Stage Idol Announces
This Intention.

Washington, Feb 9iMrs Izetta
Jewel Brown, widow OF the late
Congressman William G. Brown, Of
is going to return to the
stage.
This announcement, which comes
from New York, is hailed with de.
light by Wiashingtonians Izetta Je.
vel, as she was known on the stage,
was leading woman of the Poll
stock here for five years when that
was notable company of artists.
She was stage idol whose local
has rarely been exceeded
in the capital, and she had social
position such as but few women of
the stage have achieved in this city
1t was while Miss Jewel was living
in Washington that she met Con-
gresham Brown and, after a roman
tic courtShip of a year, they were
married A year later she was a
widow, the mother of the infant Will
liam Gay Brown Ill, and shared
equally with MIR Browns daughter
by his first wife in his large estate.
Mrs. Brown is in the market for
q play suitable for Broadway, where
she has played as leading woman
for Otis Skinner and other great
stars of his magnitude. Writing a
play for Miss Jewel should not be
such difficult task for a playwright
who has arrived" for she has play
ed in 'stock" all kinds of roles, no
two of them alike. She is a very
woman and by no means is
professionally called "one-part ac-
tress."
The people in washington are very
much interested in this actress plan
to return to the stage, but are not
surprised. After her husbands death
her friends predicted that the stage
would again claim her when her baby
boy had grown old enough not to
iced mothers constant care.

FOR HARRISBURG, PA.
Father of One Appeals to Off
GERS In This City.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney E.
L. Luttrell was called upon Friday
night to aid in locating Miss Lenora
Thompson, aged IL years, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Thompson, OF
Tennessee avenue, Rosemont, and
Miss Stolipher, aged 16 years, whose
home is said to be on High street,
and who left this city last night on
the northbound Cumberland Valley
train.
Mr. Luttrell got in communication
with the police in Harrisburg, Ha-
gerstown, Cumberland and other
neighboring cities, and after making
a further investigation Of the matter
came to the conclusion that the
girls had gone Harrisburg to work
in hosiery mill, and that there was
nothing mysterious about their leuv-
ing here. He states that the girls had
told several friends at the Interwoy-
en- mills here, where they had been
employed, that they intended to go to
Harrisburg to work in hosiery mill,
and that two or three friends had ac-
companied them to the train. The re-
port that two young men had accom-
panied the girls was declared untrue
by Mr.. Luttrell.
1t is stated that the parents of Miss
Thompson were opposed to her going
TO Harrisburg and enlisted the aid
OF the officials to secure her return,
Mr. Luttrell stated that the relatives
of Miss Stolipher seemed to be will
ing for her to go.
