7 cee a at we ® LAURA Be CAR STILL MISSING More Mysterythan Ever inthe Hiding-Place of Actress, Who Was to Have Surrendered. DETECTIVES SEEK HER. The whereabouts of Laura Biggar, whose claim that she was the wife of Henry M. Bennett and entitled to , Dis fortune because of a child alleged to have been born to her on July 39 last resulted in the Issuance of a warrant for her arrest on the charge were more mysterious to-) time since she dls- of perjury, day thar at any eppeared last Friday, Her lawyer, S I, Frankenstein, says he knows where she is. Lawyers for the prosecution declare that Frankenstein does not know! where the woman !s. Ever since the warrant was issued for the arrest of the Biggar woman Jtoc- tives have searched in vain for her. It 4s belleved that she -s staying with the- atrical friends) ‘The detectives have been unable to find any trace of her. When James J. Corbett offered to 0 on the woman's bond for $5,000 yestor- Gay it was expected that Mr. Frankea- Stein would produce his cltent before Judge Heisiey at Long Branch, N. J. to-day. Instead, however, Corbett's man- ager in the negotiations declared that he received a message from the lawyer last night saying that he was afrald to produce his client, bécause as soon as he had bailed her on one charge she might be re-arrested on anotner and lodged in jail, This Lawyer Fankenstein dented to- Ay. “Tney (meaning Corbett and his friends who butter Into the case) are a lot of fakirs. I don't see any prospect of getting @ bondsman for my cient to- y HOOLS” A VERY SAD AND SOGGY IMPORTATION. —_—— So Dull, She Thinks, That It Will Soon Pass Away— Though French It Lacks En- tirely the Frenchy Glitter. A clinte was held in Madison Square Theatre last night on a peculiarly pestl- lential Importation from France called “The Twe Schools.” The only encouraging feature of the case is that “The Two Schools" 19 as stale and dull as it fs offensive, Tt ts the most cold-bloodedly loathsome faren lever concocted by a Frenchman, and at |the same time it Is welghted from be- ginning to end with a leaden stupidity such as no Frenchman ever achieved before, I: hasn't a molecule of the sparkle and ecamper which glosa the vice of the thousand ane one predoces- sors from which it ts copled. And it is Interminably preachy. Fancy a preachy French farce! The preaching {s all from one text— and It Is as old as French farce itself. There are two classes—"two schools" — of men: Those who are depraved, tut entertaining, and those who are decent, but tiresome. You must take your cholce, says the author. A depraved msn 1s always entertaining, a decent man 1s always a bore, Therefore, it {s better for a woman to marry a depraved man than a decent one. It takes four tedious acts to point this choice moral, They revolve around a Indy who divorces her husband In the first act and remarries him in the fourth. He 1s just as depraved at lust as at first, but she has come to the con- clusion that he {s a better husband than a decent man would be. Why? Because4 In the Interim she has been the flancee of a respestable hypocrite—one of those conventional scarecrows with which a French farcemonger tries to frighten timid people away from the virtues. In addition to the young couple—the same old young "couple!—there are the same old comically vicious papa, the} same old cynical mamma, the same oli siren, the same old restaurant, thi old room No. 8—Its always No. same same old yalter, the same old string} pe of men in flat-beimaid ha be too offensive he has a tenden In high heels ord a) shont.

In the original French, as played at the Varietles Tnu- atre, Paris, “Les Deux Ecolea" revolved about a shower bath. But Mr. Chasles Frohman, with a regard for the delleacy of New Yorkers, has cut the show bath Incident to such in extent th: is meaningless, while the tiresome vulgarity which Inspicos the demand for a shower bath of tia moral kind, The acting 1s skilful. Miss Ida Con- quest misdirects her pleasing talents in portraying the wronged wife—what amusing creatures wronged wives are in the Madison Square school of farce! THIS TALOR MORE THAN A NINTH. John Kluck Disproves the Old Saw that a Knight of the Needle Is Only a Fraction of a Man. : Never let {t be sald again that a tailor {s only the ningh part of a man, for ‘t took four stalwart porters of the Hoffman House to subdue John Kluck, who lives at No. 73 East One Hundred and Fifteenth street and wields the aclasors and bodkin for @ living. George H. Reinicker, who is said to be ‘a wealthy merchant of Webster * Clty, Ia., does not admire the polish of the tailor manners; but he thinks he is all right as a fighting man. Reinicker says he was walking up Twenty-third street on his way to the Hoffman House when he observed that At the) the tallor was following him, entrance to the Hoffman House the tallor's proximity annoyed the merchant, and he gave vent to his wrath and an , inepiriting fight began, ‘The clash night have proved Interest- ing 1 nthe end, showing as a matter of fact that a tailor is more than a frac- tion of a mere man, but four porters came along and endeavored to reduce the doughty little fraction still more Ly @itting on him. Kluck was taken to the West Thir- tleth street station In handcuffs, where an employee of the Hoffman’ House charged him with disorderly conduct.

Romeo was at work in the bunker of the vessel when she was towed Into her dock In the North River, just above the Battery, As the vessel bumped Into her slip the !mpact caused hundreds of tons of coal to side. Romeo knew In an instant what was coming, for the coal was pled high along the bulkhead, He orled out’for help. Then a cioud of coal dust filled his mouth and nose, and he scarcely could breathe, His mates heard his cry for ald. - They grabbed shovels and jumped into the bunker. They worked rapidly, and in a few minutes had Romeo's head un- covered. Then they worked the coal away 0 they could place a rope noose about his body below his arm pits.

Through his lawyer he had @ warrant issued to-day for Armstrong's arrest. The whole trouble between the two men came about over the failure of Armstrong's play, “St. Anne," which wes last heard of at Newport News, Va The plot of the play deals with the Bohemian life of artists in New York, Lendon and Paris. Pittman was the business manager and his wife was in the show. On the programme her name waa reconied as Gladys Bates. she created more of a wensation when she ea out of the show than while she wag nit. When Mrs, Pittman quit her job Arms strong became angry, He refused to give up her trenks. ‘Thon Pittman, to make matters worse, attached the show Yor $1,200. ‘The company came home Yutheut buying parlor-car accommoda- thons, In the mean time Pittman went away.
