Miss Allen, thinking he was going to take the chiid, Gell on her knees and chrieked hyster- folly until a court officer restored order, “I want to stay with auntle,”’ sob- bed the little fellow, digging his eyes with his kid-gloved hands “Do you think my father can get im away from us?" asked Herbert ker, nineteen years old, of an Even- ing World reporter, tearruny, “He has done nothing for us since our mother died, My aunt has given us a me.

About twenty of them filed a notice of contest to-day in the office of Probate Clerk Jacob Washburn. Clark 8. Comstock, Edward 8. Ewen, Jullus F. Culver, Ferdinand Dougtase and Edith Mabel Ewen head the lat of contestants, who bring the suit on conventional grounds.

MABELLE GILMAN’S PAPA. He's Very Proud of His Talented Daughter and Displays Her Pic: tures In His Sacramento Dry- Goods Store Window. To be sure, it's not an altogether new thing for an actress to make a curtain speech, but It did seam a bit odd to see Henrletta Crosman step out of the ab- surdly romantic atmosphere of ‘The Sword of the King’? at Wallack's on Saturday afternoon and say “Thank you" and “Au revoir!" “It-brings a lump In my throat,” sald she, with a gulp and a grimace, “to think that this is my last Saturday in New York." One hand fell imply ngainat a shapely mb, brave in male contraption, and there was a tremor in the tones which almost warranted the fear that the woman who could be so dashingly courageous In mimic situations was g0- ing to break down in thie real one and indulge in a thoroughly feminine ‘tboo- hoo!" But Miss’ Crosman didn't. She cast @ parting-Is-sad look at her audience of sympathetic sisters and told them to cheer up and remember she'd be back again with the flowers and the organ grinders in the apring. "And," she added, “I ask you to keop a warm corner In your hearts for me until then." “Of course we will, dear," ts the way the assuring applause which answered ber sounded. Nothing was said about keoping a $2 bill in their pockets. . 8 Charlotte Walker, who follows Miss Crosman at Wallack's to-night as lead- Ing lady with James K.
