Wta She MJHiiD He Kept oa RemoYiHr His SSces. Later on He Charged Her With Infidelity. Violet Stains on Man's Shirt Initial Cause. Jnry Heard tha Case and Was Unable to Decide. NEW YORK, Aug 30 WThether Mrs Esther Bartlett Clarke was guilty of In fidelity as charged by her husband.

Jas. King Clarke, remains a mystery so far as the law is concerned, even' if medical experts did declare her innocent. On April 8 last a Jury in the divorce case after having been out 22 hours reported a disagreement. Fifty ballots had been taken. eac standing 6 to 6.

A bunch of violets was the initial cause of the Clarke divorce suit. It nestled in the corsage of Mrs Esther Bartlett Clarke on the night of April 28, 1899, two days after her marriage to Clarke. The bridal couple were honeymooning at the Holland house, this city. Mcintosh Kellogg had dined with them that evening. Later, at the husband's Invitation, Kellogg went with them to their room.

The husband suddenly remembered he had letters to write. He went away, telling Kellogg to remain with the bride. Clarke was absent 30 or 40 minutes. When he returned he had difficulty get ting into the room. He made a noise and brought out the employes in the hatel to the scene.

When he got In he noticed violet stains on the shirt bosom, of Mr Kellogg. in tne divorce suit Mrs Clarke explained the stains on Kellogg's shirt-front by saying he had asked her for the flowers, she had tossed them to him and he had thrust them in his shirt bosom. Clarke in a few minutes was apologizing to Kellogg for accusing him. rne next day Clarke took dinner with Kellogg at Delmonlco's, and later sent that young man with his bride to buy her a pair of shoes. During the next week the bride went to the theater with Frank Butterworth, then to the cafe Martin, winding up at Jim Corbett's.

Mr Butterworth introduced the bride to the pugilist. There was a dinner on May 8 at the hotel Imperial, the guests being Kellogg, a Mies Beers and George Carnegie. The latter paid the bride extravagant compliments, telling her she was tho most beautiful woman in the world. Finally, according to her testimony. Carnegie, who was sitting next her at the table, whispered: "I wish you were mine.

I'd erive a million dollars to have you. Can't you get rid of Jim?" Mrs Clarke resented the insult on tha spot, but the bridegroom took the matter calmly. She said CarnearM would have to leave or she would, and her hu band helped his wife's insulter into the barroom. Later, when they got to their rooms, Clarke left to go down and take care of Carnegie. The bridegroom was sitting on the floor removing his shoes when his wife told him in detail how Carneeie had in sulted her.

He did nothing but continue to re move his shoes. TO REVISE ITS LAWS. GrancJ Lodge, Independent Order Sons of Benjamin, Will Conform to Requirements of Bay State Insurance. After 20 years of successful operation in fraternal circles of this city, the Independent Order Sons of Benjamin has been cautioned by the insurance commissioner that some of its laws were contrary to the existing laws of, this commonwealth. The grand lodge of the order, located in New Tork, was noti fied of this fact some time ago by the commissioner of insurance, and all its subordinate lodges in this state were closed accordingly.

The I. O. S. B. was represented in Massachusetts by the following lodges; Kossuth, Mordechai.

Bay State, Boston, jjlDerty, Massacnusetts, England, Eva, all of Boston, and Fall River lodge, Worcester lodge and Springfield lodge, with a membership of about 1500. The order is an old and influential one with a total membership of about 16.000 throughout the United States and Canada. Among its numerous members are many of the most influential Hebrew citizens of the country. To correct the existing mistakes and to live up to the Massachusetts insurance laws, which are claimed to be the best in the United States, the grand lodge of the order has called a special convention to be held in New York in October, when a revision of the laws will be the chief business conducted. If the changes are made, not only will the Massachusetts members gain by it, but tne entire order wilt tie strengtnened.

By order of the insurance commis sioner all the lodges in this state representing the I. O. S. B. are closed and no Dusiness is conducted nere, out Dullness will be resumed upon the acceptance of the changes of the laws asked for by the insurance commissioner.

The 1500 members resident in this state are at present connected directly with the grand lodge in New York. rom communications received irom New York by different prominent members, in this city it is very evident that the movement now on foot will be a success, and that all the Massachusetts lodges will be in full running order before Nov 1 of this year, at which time a grand reunion will be held under the auspices of a special committee for that purpose. Boston and the 'other cities where the order is located will be, represented at the special convention try a large number of their most prominent Jewish citizens. ETURN TO OLD HOMES. French Canadians Are Going Back From the States with Their Savings.

QUEBEC, Aug 30 The tide of travel between the New England states and the French-Canadian districts of the province of Quebec has changed very materially of late. For many years there was a large emigration every summer from French Canada to the manufacturing centers of New England, many hundreds, both of young men and young women, leaving their Canadian farm homes to seek employment in the factories or brick yards of New Hampshire. Vermont and Massachusetts. Now all this is changed. Not only is there scarcely anv emigration today from the farming districts of the province of Quebec to the manufacturing towns of the eastern states, but there is actually a current of emigration running the other way.

The kailway people report that it has long been customary about this season of the year for many residents of the New England states of French-Cana dian extraction to come up to Canada for a trip ana lor a visit to the old folks at home. But this summer the nature of this travel has considerably chaf.ged, and instead of one or two members of a family at a time making mis irip, wnon lumuies are returning to Canada together, bag and baggage, to again take up their residence in their wn country. rMany ot these people are returning with the united savings of the families to redeem their old farms or to buy new ones in their old parishes or in some of the new and fertile districts opened up for colonization by new lines of railway. Not only is there a large return of former Canadians from their late American homes this year, but there la a reduction of at least 50 percent in the volume of Canadian emigration to the United States. In fact there is a very The second fall was won by Cann In 12 minutes and the third by the Attle-bor man In five minutes.

The contest was anything hut satisfactory, as in the last two rounds Warmoff gave up. The result was haJled with hisses and eatsealls. Warmoff is by long odds th more powerful and heavier man of the two, although Cann appeared to be the cleverer. After the match Warmoff announced his readiness to wrestle Cann or any man in Attleboro for $100. MORE PRISONERS RELEASED.

Huntington Far In Excess of Earlier Estimates H. E. Huntington Gets $20,000,000. NEW YORK, Aug 30 Collls P. Hunt ington's estate is valued at Six hundred shares in the Southern Pacific company form the estate's inter est in it.

Their value has been placed at f24. 000,000, but the prudent adhere to the lower amount of 119,800,000. The will bequeaths $2,610,000 in cash, the palace and pictures in New Y6rk, to the widow, and divides the residue equally between Mrs C. P. Huntington and H.

E. Huntington. The latter Inherits, consequently, about $20,000,000. One-third of the Southern Pacific stock, amounting to $8,000,000, forms the larg est item of that inheritance. Princess Hatzfeldt's legacy of $1,000,000 is generous.

Her dot at her marriage was $2,500,000 in 5 cercent bonds, and her gifts from her adopted fatiier in 10 years amounted to jl.uuu.o'JU. The amount, relatively small, that Wlllard V. Huntington receives $50,000 has its explanation in the fact that he aisiikel the trade of railroading and abandoned it after a trial of two years in San Francisco. At his marriaee he received, like his brother, H. E.

BOSTON THEATER "Woman and Wine," a drama In four acts by Arthur Shirley and Benjamin Laniieck. Firat time here. Principal characters in the cast: Hugh Seymour Mr John Burke Richard Seymour Mr Howard Kyle I'hlneas Collins Mr Julian Mark Parkins Charles Mitchell l'rof Sawter Mr Hudson Ufcton Cbarles Sawter Mr Daniel Halifax The l.aby Bahv Morrison Bob Tipton Mr Roland Edwards Alphouse Beaudct Mr Kdw Gillespie Caliban Mr Frank Hatch A Neapolitan singer Janette Blackburn Due d'Aruac Mr Malyon Hardlne Marcel HiKiidout Miss Sylvia Lyndeu l4i Colcoinbe Miss Zelda Paldl Scars Ji.net Marlow Mi8s Millie James Mary Andrews MIbs Grace Huntress Mme Perinet Marion Winchester Eili Gautier Miss Marlon Winchester Lucretia Borgia's Infamous notoriety at last has suffered an eclipse; her villainous prestige no longer occupies the apex of murderous achievements, for the title so long borne by the creature has been snatched away by a Rigadout, a woman who combines the Borgia vices with a whole lot of new ones, and fairly revels in laughter as each victim surrenders to her malignant charms.

The Lucretia of history and opera naa more than met her match in the siren Marcel of melodrama. Yes, the unscrupulous Marcel Rigadout of "Woman and Wine" at the Boston theater last evening, and in the presence of a big audience, usurped the place so long assigned to another, and within two and one-half hours plainly demonstrated the fact that she was the representative tiger lily In the field of female Iniquity, all others being merely buds of promise. This event, which misht be called an epoch, in dramatic history, took place at the opening performance of the season at the Boston last night. The play was an English melodrama, put together by Arthjr Shirley and Benjamin Landeck and presented by a company under the direction of Mr W. A.

Brady and Mr Harry Doel Parker. And it is a melodrama, not pure and simple, but full of misdeeds and complications, ruined hopes, knives, drugged wine and other dramatic adjuncts. And as the life of the so-called hero is strenuous and the plottings of the various villains are incessant, in the mixup of cause and effect there are but few chances for moments of tranquility during the run of the four acts. The title of the drama suggests but a portion of the reasons for the actions of the characters in the play, but the two Ws possibly cover a field broad enough and leave something to the imagination. The story is that of a blind man, Hugh Seymour, reduced to poverty in his efforts to thoroughly educate his spendthrift son, Richard, who Imagines that his fatner is wealthy.

Marcel Rigadout. an adventuress, hearing of a legacy soon to fall to Richard, woaves her spell about him, tearing him from his father's ward, Mary Andrews, whom he truly loves, and finally, after Bhe has ruined him, casts him aside for Alphonae Beaudet, a handsome but low fellow of the slums. The latter is soon cast off in turn, and, during the Japanese ball, both he and his mistress. La Colombe, urge Richard on to murder the false one. He is about to do so, when the police raid the place and the dancers effect their escape through an adjacent flower garden.

Richard, who has become stupefied with drink, is here left by a friend who goes off In search of a cab. Here Is where the sensational duel takes place. La Colombe challenges Marcel to mortal combat, and after a struggle, kills her. Alphonse and Caliban, the market watchman, place the body in a flower box and cover it over with roses. The rolice soon arrive, the body is discovered and the crime fastened upon Richard.

In the last act Richard is brought to trial and condemned to death; but La Cclombe confesses her guilt and the man is released. There are 12 scenes in the play, and those deserving special praise for elaborate mounting are the race track at Longehamps, with a four-in-hand filled with passengers; a brilliant Japanese ballroom, at the cafe d'Africfue and the flon'tr market garden setting. There are many supernumeraries utilized, and the whole production is commendable. In the ball scene Miss Winchester won much applause by her eccentric dancing, and a real, live baby, who behaved well, also came in for its share in the plaudits. Ot course, one doesn't expect consistency of plot in a melodrama, and as Messrs Landeck and Shirley are no novice's at this style of work they have not endeavored to disappoint by malting their characters natural or rlacing them in surroundings of a plausible nature.

The piece has a number of exciting episodes joined together in the usual way, and these "thrillers" are about all that the lover of this class of work cares much about. The piece was somewhat noisily received last evening, and when the members of the company filed across the stage the upper part of the house voiced commendation for the "good tins" and condemnation for the "bad uns." novelty of the play was the realistic fight with knives with Marcel and La Colcombe as antagonists. It was sufficiently thrilling to suit any melodramatic enthusiast Miss Sylvia Lyn-den as the adventuress, Marcel, dressed magnificently, laughed bewitchingly or in a sardonic vein with equal effectiveness, acting with splendid vigor, and playing the character very cleverly. Miss Zelda Paldi Sears was commendable as La Colcombe and some of the minor roles, character bits, are also deserving of favorable mention. Mis Grace Huntress assumed the role of Mary Andrews the heroine, in place of Miss Ruth Copley, who was ill.

Pretty little Millie James was charming as the widow Janet, and with -vlr Halifax as Charles Sawter furnished most all of the comedy in, the play. Mr Rurir satisfactory as Husrh Sey- m.n.ir tr vle's performance of the weak-minded "hero'' was not without in ovcellenciea. Mr Leston wa amusing as Prof Sawter. Mr HCh mad a hit as the repellant watchman Caliban, and Mr Barton, Mr F.dwar.i and Mr Gillespie' also assisted by effective work in various roles. There isn much to be said in favor of the comedy lines, which are not very' brilliant or numerous; but after the firstact the action and sensational Incident relegate dialogue to the backgrourj and the words of the Btory mattsi e4ghUy.

What' Lorena Stewart Says of Rabone. Altemptea to Cllcroferin Her aaJ Get Box ot Jewels. Latter Valued at 830,000, She Declares. Says She Was Ward of Late Vice Pres Hendricks. Got the Diamonds from a New York Fur Dealer.

NEW YORK, Aug 30-Lorena Stewart, ward of the late Thomas A. Hendricks, vice president of the United States, now living in a flat at 260 West SSth st. stood before MatrUtrato Brann In the West side police court today and accused Thomas R. Rabone, an electrician, living at 534 Jane st. West Hoboken, with having tried to chloroform her and rob her of her jewels, valued at $30,000.

Miss Stewart, tndsomely gowned and wearing diamonds valued at several thousand dollars. If they were the real article, declared that Rifbone had stolen Into her apartments at night and threatened to murder her if she made an cutcry. "I had been to visit Mrs Howard, wh lived on the floor above me," she told Magistrate Brann. "and there met Rabone. who was a friend of Mrs Howard.

I left Mrs Howard about 3 o'clock in tha morning and went to my own rooms. I'-was just going to sleep when I saw through the open door a man spring from the fire escape through one of the rear windows, lie seized me and pressed a handkerchief over my face. lie then poured chloroform on the handkerchief and said he would kill me if 1 made aa outcry. "1 asked him what he wanted, and ha said he had come for the iron box of jewels. He said he came from Samm a to get them." "Who is Sammie?" interrupted Magistrate Brann.

"Sammie Is Sammie Bergman, the fur dealer," the woman continued without hesitation or a show of embarrassment. "He gave me all those jewels." "Never mind any more about Sam-mlR," Magistrate Brann said. "Well," Miss Stewart resumed, "1 managed to break away from the man and scream. He tried to grab the box of Jewels from me, but I fought him off. I recognized the man.

"If you want me to prove that I was the ward of Thomas A. Hendricks and was raised in his house, I have the papers here to do it." and the woman held out a bundle of letters. "We are not seeking your pedigree, but the truth of this story," the magistrate said. The detectives from the central office arrested Rabone. They also examined the letters, which they say prove that Miss Stewart was the ward of Mr Hendricks.

According to these letters shft was gradjated from St Rose' convent et Vincennes. Ind. How she had left th home of the Hendrlckses and had gone to live in the Tenderloin was not explained in the letters. Magistrate Brann was not natisfledj that Miss Stewart possessed $30,000 worth of diamonds, in spite of the proof that she had been the ward of a vice president, and decided to defer the hearing1 until tomorrow, when witnesses will ba heard, who are expected to tell a story that may not entirely agVee with tha story told by Miss Stewart. Miss Stewart declares that only Mrs Howard and Bergman knew that she kept a fortune in jewels in her flat.

Her rooms and surroundings would not Indicate that she possessed a fortune in diamonds. Wrhy she left the Hendricks home and when she came to New York are the questions that will be put to her tomorrow. It Is expected that if Miss Stewart tells her full story a family skeleton may be revealed. DENOUNCED BY BISHOP MALLAUEU. 7 Condemns Dancing, Fiddles and Certain Books and Says No Pure Woman Can Afford to Enter a Theater.

STERLING JUNCTION, Aug 30--." Thousands of persons assembled at Sterling camp ground today. The gathering Includes a majority of Methodists from the whole of Worcester county and part of Middlesex. The cottages are decorated gayly. The day was to be the biggest in 60 years. It will be larger tomorrow, or there will be disappointment.

Meetings were in progress all over the grounds when there was no service In the main pavilion. Each clergyman has his "tent," in which his especial admirers assemble. An unusual number of conversions. It Is said, are being made in these subordinate meetings. The principal speakers today were Rev Dr James Boyd Brady, Worcester; Rev Dr F.

D. Upham. J. and Rev L. W.

Staples of Lowell. Rev Mr Brady spoke at 10 a and Dr Upham this afternoon. The latter alluded especially to the power of prayer, lit declared that the prayer of the private secretary of Maj Andre probably caused God to intervene to stop the schemes of Benedict Arnold and saved America. Dr Upham said this man was a Methodist. The tent meetings found food for discussion in the remarks of Bishop W.

F. Mallalieu, In which he referred to tha proceedings in China as especially destined to plant the banner of Christ firmly among 400.000,000 of the "greatest people on earth." The bishop charged that almost more were killed by prenatal murder in Massachusetts than are thrown into the Ganges. He especially condemned dancing. Addles and certain books. Fiddles, he said, were the most sensuous of all instruments, although ail right for hymn service.

He also said that no pure woman eould afford to enter tt theater. In nearly every meeting there was unanimous agreement with these sentiments as being "good Methodist doctrine." At the morning meeting Rev J. H. Mansfield, presiding elder, announced peremptorily that there undoubtedly Is water enough for all purposes. There lias been fear of a water famine because two or three of the wells on th outskirts of the ground have run dry-It has been found there is one well alone capable of supplying all the water needed.

Among clergymen In the camp are Rev H. E. Smiley, Rev G. 11. Clarke of Lowell, Rev J.

W. Fuller of Ware, Rev A. Morrill Osgood of Clinton, Rev Alon-xo Snnderson and Rev H. A. Whyman of Worcester, Uev A.

Ashby No. 1, Ashby. i NEWPORTS OPEN TOURNAMENT. Richardson Beat Croisfield and C. Hitchcock 4r Beats Byersin the Semifinals for President's Cup, NEWPORT, Aug 30-The mi-fiaal In Newport's golf tournament for the president' cup and the consolation prfia were played today, and as; a result on Saturday Charles Hitchcock Jr and C.

T. lUchardaon will play In the flnala for the former, and A. M. Coats and A. M.

Tioblblns will play for the consolation trophy. Most everybody looked for Hitchcock to beat E. M. Byers, but A. 11.

Cross-field was not only expected to beat Kichardson, but many looked for bim to take home to Scotland the president's trophy. Tire wind was too high for accurate driving, otherwise the conditions were satisfactory. Myers, as it turned out, should have beaten Hitchcock, as he had the match weii in hand at one time, but went to pieces. The first hole was halved, and then Byers won two, the next was halved, and then Hitchcocit made it all even by winning two holes on pretty olf that pleased the "gallery very much. Each won a hola now, and then Byere took one, thus turning for Hyeri 1 up.

Holes 10 and 11 were halved, and 12 was won by Byers by long, sensational put. Byers was now 2 up, but he foozled a drive, pulled an Iron shot into high grass, and then was unsteady on a green. The result of this was that Hltchcoclt took four holes in suuce-ision, and had the match dormy 2.. The next hole was halved, and this gave Hitchcock the match, but the men played out the card, and Hitchcock took the next and last hole. The match between Crossfield and Richardson attracted a great deal of attention, as Crossfleld's fine work on the green had been noted in previous matches, and it had been said of him that he was the finest putter in all Kngland.

His driving today was hia falling, and then, too, feeling thaA he was playing In 111 luck, he lost his nerve. Crossfleld drove Into nearly every hazard on the course, and when In playing for the sixth hole he topped his ball and it went into the quarry, he gave up the hole in disgust. Then he drove ln-to the wall, and in fact seemed never to drive As they turned for home Richardson was 2 up. Neither man played well opmlng home. The 16th hole was halved and it was dormy 2 for Richardson.

Then Crossfleld got Into difficulty again by driving Into a ditch; he took for tho hole and the match was Richardson's. The summary: PRESIDENT'S CUP. Semifinal round. -C. Hitchcock Jr beat E.

M. Byers, 2 up ar.d 1 to play. C. T. Richardson beat A.

II. Crossfleld, 3 up and 1 to play. CONSOLATION CUP. Semifinal round. R.

H. Robertson beat V. Sorchan, 2 up and 1 to play. A. M.

Coats were tied at 75. with E. M. Byers and Charles Hitchcock Jr of New Haven. NEW GREENS ARE READY.

Improvements to the Publio Course at Franklin Park. The new greens on the public links at Franklin park will be used for the first time tomorrow. They were constructed early in May, but the park commissioners refused to open them to the public, as they thought that by us(ng the temporary greens the new ones would he in tin-top shape for fall playing. There are new greens for all nine holes and after a good wetting down and rolling they will be first rate. They are 20 yards square.

The lack of permanent greens has been felt considerably by the large number of golfers who dally frequent the public links. Greenkeeper George Tlmson did all in his power to assist the golfers in selecting good spots for the holes, but he has had to submit to all kinds of jollying about the inaccuracy of the temporary greens. New tees are being constructed, and the old ones will not be used after these are finished. The new ones will be made of a mixture of clay and sand, and they will be rolled daily. When the greens are opened the course will bo lengthened considerably.

The eighth and ninth holes, the two longest on the course, will be increased 80 and 90 yards respectively, and the second, fourth and sixth will be a trifle longer than heretofore. Greenkeeper Tlmson has an efficient body of assistants now, and there is every Indication that the course will be kept in good shape for the rest of the season. Women's Handicap at Jefferson. JEFFERSON, Aug 30-A women's golf handicap for prizes offered by Charles J. Fisk was played over the Waumbek golf club links today.

Building to bo Located in the Northern Part of City, Sear His Old Home, To Eave Reading; and Leoture Booms and be a Memorial to His Wife. WOBURN, Aug 30 Jonathan Thompson, who died early in the week, made the following bequests by which was read today just after the funeral service: To the Burbeen free lecture fund $3000; Sabbath school connected with the North Congregational church $100; the Young People's Christian Endeavor society $50; the North Woburn chapel association $100.

The residuary and remainder of his estate, real, personal and mixed, he bequeaths to the city of Woburn for tho erection and maintenance of a suitable building by the city to be used and occupied as a library, with reading and lecture rooms, to be known as the Eunice Thompson memorial library, for the benefit and pleasure of the citizens, but more especially for those residing in North Woburn. The site chosen Is a lot dev-rad by him to the city, and situated on the easterly side of Eim st between the estate of Carrie Dearborn and the homestead lot on which he resided, the library to be under the charge and direction of a board of three trustees, to be chosen by the city for stated terms of services, two of whom, at least, shall be residents of North Woburn. The will appoints John W. Johnson of Woburn executor. Jonathan Thompson was born in the house where he died, on Elm st.

His education was from the country school in that part of Woburn where he so long lived, and when old enough to work he learned the trade of shoemaker, which he followed until well into his 20s, when he saw an opportunity to engage in business in Boston, and opened a restaurant under Qulncy market, south side, where he remained until 1849. He had done a successful business, but had an attack of California fever. He sold out and started for the land of gold. He engaged in the boarding house business and made several thousand dollars. Since then he has farmed in a small way, and for a short time was in the grocery business.

Much of the' real estate he owned at his death, and he had a large amount, was inherited by him from his father. Cyrus Thompson, who died 30 or more years ago. For several years he has suggested the idea of leaving his homestead for a hospital. It was shown him. however, that the building was not adapted for the purpose, and he gave up the idea.

Soon he decided to use his estate for the purpose provided in the will. Among other property owned by Mr Thompson was the land on Main ana If red sis, bounding on Forest park, owned by the city, and which it has been contemplated to have the city purchase as an extension for the park. This the city will probably do if the conditions of th will are accepted. Eunice Thompson, for whom he directs the public library to be named, was his wife, who died about 10 years ago. His addition to the Burbeen free lecture fund will meet with universal favor, as the lectures have grown to be one of the institutions of the city.

The original fund was given to the trustees by the late Leonard Thompson. KEARSAEGE SAILS SATURDAY. Then to Leave Cape Ann to Join tha Squadron at Bar Harbor.
