ACTRESS IS
YING HER
LAST ACT
Mrs. Julia Reinhardt Awaits
Final Curtain in
Poverty,
BY MAURICE HENLE,
NEA Service Writer.

Flew YORK, Aug. 23.-Death
I'M stands just outside the door
III of the dingy little room where
Julia Reinhardt, shrunken and en-
feebled, lies waiting.
II am so tired, so tired" murmurs
the woman who stanchly Joined with
Henry Ward Beecher in 1868 in the
fight for woman suffrage.
Fame and friends have deserted
her. Her passing might have been
like that of the other thousands who
go their way, unsung, unhonored in
the New York that once acclaimed
them.
But a newspaper reporter found
Mrs. Reinhardt. He wrote the story
of her tragedy.
Once Julia Reinhardt stood be-
hind the foofhghts while theaters
rocked with shouts and huzzas for
her. And within her was an answer
ing tumult, a quickened pulse.
She played with David Warheld
in Belasco's 1.-The Auctioneer." And
she acted in THE Grand Army

and Her Honor, the Mayor"
Now the little room where she
lives on Thirty seventh st. rocks
with the crash Of noise from a sky
scraper going up acros the street.
Riveters rend the air with their
tattoos. Motors squawk. Whistles
blow. Night comes, but not quiet.
AS the giant tick-tack Of the rivet-
ers dies down, the crash of a jazz
hideous. There is no rest.
1t httle matters now to Julia Rein
hardt what comes to pass in her few
remaining days,
Occasionally she half opens her
eyes. She recognizes that the man
before her is a reporter.
II knew Warheld, Belasco, Rose
Voghlan, Barrymore. I was with
Jane Cowl. I knew them ALL" she
mumbles, seeming to gather her
strength for one last defense of what
she has accomplished

hadn't sent this nurse I would have
gone to the island"
And so the unselfsh who have
heard Of Julia Reinhardt's plight
come to see her. The press agent.
And a woman who says she'll send a
chicken. And a woman who brings
an autographed copy OF her own
poems in which the dying woman
may find comfort.
And outside the world passes. The
riveters beat their tattoo. The jazz
band walls on.
But soon there win be rest and
quiet for Julia Reinhardt.

Science

A cup Of silver, found at Antioch,
has been examined recently by DR..
G.. H. Eisen. formerly curator Of the
California Academy Of Science.
This cup has an engraving of
Christ and the apostles. DR.. Eisen
says the cup was made in the first
century, and, assuming that Christ
and the apostles lived at that time,
it is probable that the engraving
was done by person who knew
them personally. He says, in fact,
the representations may well be por-
traits. One reason for this belief is
that the pictures Of Christ and the
apostles do not resemble the usual
and conventional portraits, made
later. Christ is depicted as beardless
in the engraving.
When the olden Basilica of Anti
och was consecrated. 341 A. D., this
cup was one of its most cherished
possessions.

Boating
BY Hal COCHRAN

BY HAL COC1 Kan
The rcwboat he played with when
he was a child is a thing that he'll
never forget. When stream wavelets
rippled he called the waves wild and
he PLAYED till his clothes were all wei.
And then he grew up till he lived
in his teens and play thoughts
passed out Of his head. A mere
touch Of age brought a changing
of scenes; a canoe was his pleasure
instead.
He padded Until unto business
he'd turned; then he answered the
more thrilling call. A skipper .
be, was the thing that he yearned,
so he skippered around in yawl.
Then age came along and he grew
to be staid, though his love of the
water dimmed not. And thus was
his next plunge in boating life as
he purchased a sea-going yacht.
When he was a kid he looked for
ward, n truth, to sailing the worlds
waterways. And now that he's done
L he looks back to youth with an
MY of toy rowboat days.

OWNERLESS HAT
LEFT WITH JUDGE
Damage Suit Is Embarrass-
ing to Witness,

Any one need a good hat? Apply
at Superior Court, Roor L.
In a suit for damages as the result
of an auto accident it developed that
defendants were returning from a
roadhouse south Of town after more
or less successful tussle with John
Barleycorn and ran over an auto of
the plaintiff in which he was visit
ing with somebody else's wife. Two
days of "hemming and having" by
both sides failed to evtct testimony
from reluctant witnesses.
The hats ownership was an impor-
tant question. In vain lawyers at
tempted toslave it identified, even try
ing it on witnesses heads. Nobody
wanted to testify, and the case was
finally compromised, during a recess.
One witness said he thought the hat
was found on top of the Ford.
Wen I've seen horses and mules
wearing hats, but that's the first time
I ever heard of a Ford wearing one"
replied the lawyer.
Everybody filed out, refusing to
claim the hat.
