Harvard students banded together ‘and organtzed for a systematic search. Every place where it was believed the young man, even In a dazed mental condition, might wander was visited. His father worked day and night in the search, visiting the New York po- Ice several times each day until he worred imself sick and in a few weeks died.

Then he compromised and sald he would go to New York in a few days or a few weeks, as soon as he can reconcile him- welt to the change. No explanation, other than this, is given by the rela- tives. Two years ago Whitwell left Harvard and went to Munich, where he studied architecture and music. He returned to Harvard last year and the year's absence forced him to work harder in his studies, while being a member of the football team added still more to his burden, It was believed that over- study weakened his mind. Young Whitwell’s parents, who live at No. 37 West Eleventh street. are at their Summer home in Sullivan County, and the house is occupied only by ser= vants. + SHE’S NOT POLICE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER. ‘Woman Arrested for Shoplifting and Resisting Detectives Tells of Her Antecedents. ‘The woman who was arrested yester- day for shoplifting In a Broadway store, after she ‘had knocked down the female detective and had nearly torn the clothes “off a male detective, was recognized to- day as Nellie Monyhan, She sald she was no relation to the former police captain of that name, and added “Several times I have been told by policemen that I resembled the captain's daughter, but i am no daughter of any one in New York, “My home is In Grand Falls, and ome years ago I used to work In a atore in Twenty-third street.

Residents in apartment houses near Broadway and One Hundred and Third street, hardened though they are to alarms and earth tremors, due to heavy subway work, were scared out of their wits and beds early to-day by a ter- rific blast that made them believe the Park avenue tunnel explosion had been repeated. Dozens of windows were blown in, and the shaking of the build- ings, combined with the crash of glass, caused a panic. | In many of the more pretentious, apartments there was a stampede of, tenants In night clothing that would huve done credit to a midnight fire. Some of them got into the streets be- fore their flight was stayed, but in most of the buildings janitors or ele- vator boys reassured the frightened! folk before the outer doors were passed It was not for half an hour that th more nervous ones were persuaded to return to bed, however.

Not Twenty Years old. Reata Winfield is still a child in the es of the stage world, for she {s not yet twenty years old.” Inher. briet career she has tasted all of the triumph and misery that fills the life of a strug- gling young Woman who chooses the stage as her profession. More than that, she has drained to the dregs phe bit- terness of a blighted romance. She was born in Texas on Sept, 8, 1883. Her mother was a violinist and from the age of seven she began to take lessons on the violin from such teach ers as the humble means of her moth could afford, She had her first real en- gagement at the Cherry Blossom Root Garden of the New York Theatre, and though only fifteen years old, her ma- tured beauty ané rare totent’ attracted much attention, ‘There was no great demand in New York for the violin, however, and’ the young girl met with constant reverses in endeavoring to wet engagements, un til finally Lionel Lawrense, stage man- ager of the New York Theatre. became attracted by her and gave her an ex- tended engagement.

A man who has seen many years sailing as cook on the “Inland Seas," as the Great Lakes are called, has learned a thing or two about food, as the following story shows: “I am a cook on the Great Lakes and have for five years suffered more than pen or tongue could tell from stomach trouble and have taken medicines enough to float the boat I sail in, and yet without any relief from pain. “There were long stretches of time when I could not even keep milk or wine or the lightest kind of food on my stomach and I had fallen away from 145 to 105 pounds in less than two years. I saw so much in the newspapers about your food Grape- Nuts that one day I decided to try i although without the least ..ope of success. “So I bought a package in Cleve- land and made the trial, and my stomach was so cranky I was afraid to try more than one teaspoonful with a little milk, To my surprise T kept it on my stomach without any bad feelings, and at the end of an hour I knew it had dige-ted and gone to the right spot, so I tried two te: spoonfuls more, with th same result. And now for the past seven months I have lived almost entirely on Grape- Nuts where before I simply lived on medicines which consisted princi-| cipally of opiates that relieved me for a time but shattered my nerves | and weakened my stomach, | Soon after I began Grape-Nuts 1! gaye up all medicines, for I saw that Grape-Nuts was remaking me. Now my nerves are back in their proper shape and my stomach is so stronz I can eat almost any kind of food |without any suffering whatever, “It may interest you to know that your food is very fine in cases of sea- sickness, for in this line it has no equal. In many cases of very rough water I have given Grape-Nuts to people on my boat who were seasick. hen the sight of even coffee would be unbearable; but a few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts prepared with only water was taken and more asked for B.
