IN HER HOME AGAI “1 Do Love Pretty Things,” She Says. “Do You Think i I’m Wicked?” BY ALICE ROHE. Rosle Collendor is home again. The thread of life of this little east-side girl has been picked up just where she tried to sever ft when, with a bottle of polson, she sought an escape from the wretched environment where Fate, mak- ing no allowance for her imaginative mind and her love of beauiy, had thrust her. Rosie was discharged yesterday from Bellevue Hospital, where she was taken from Essex Market Court to be exam- ined as to her ranity. To-day Rosie !s no wo despondent as she was when she made her hopeless and childish rebellion against a sordid existence with which she felt out of harmony. Roste has some- thing bright in her life at last. She has lots of pretty clothes and she ts Mippy. | When an Evening World writer called at the tenement-house to-day and gave Tosie money to deck herself out as fine as any of her girl acquaintances in Forsythe street her deep violet eyes shone with pleasure and her red lips, which have been curved downward with #0 much sorrow, broke into a genuine childish smile. Her Effort at Suicide. | Tt was last week when this sixteen- year-old girl, weighed down by the sheer wretchedness of her life and the hopelessness of her strong love for wi is beautiful and bright, chose the p of escape which Nes through sulcide. | Her brother Max, a fine young fellow who fs struggling his utmost to help his father and mother and seven brothers and sisters, ran weoping to Gouverneur | Hospital. A doctor saved Rosle's life, and when she was brought before the court of justice in Essex Market Court she told a story that moved every heart dn the court-room, “I'm sorry 1 tried to kill myself,” said Rosie to-day. “I know I ought not. but, oh, I didn't seo much use in living any more. It's true I felt badly oe &3 because my papa wouldn't buy me Pretty clothes: but, of course, clothes weren't everything. There were other feasons, You see, I didn't have any- thing to wear at ail, not even a new| skirt, and I do love pretty things.

It Was only January last that Rosie's! brother William, overcome by despond- ence, foreboding of the futility of his brave struggle against his miserabie| surroundings threw himself from the roof of their home. Since then the child's mother has wept continual; Her swaying figure at at the window! to-day and her moaning for her dead filled room. There are eight hildren living, but the mother’s heart was broken by the tragedy in her home circle and she, too, tried to follow her son. Worked in Sweat Shop. In such depressing and sorrowful sur- roundings the girl Rosie had tried to valn to suppress her natural childish love of happiness. All day long she worked In a sweat shop and then night she returned home to the wrete ed tenement where nothing but and soridness awaited her, "There Ww veal reliet for Hosie working in the sweat shop, for the was among young girls of her own age and she coukl talk and laugh.

BOYS KNOCK OUT | GUARD, LOCK HIM UP AND ESCAPE Sixteen, Leave Man In- sénsible and Break Out of State School. Y ROCHESTER, N. March 28.—Six- teen youthful prisoners after felling a gird escaped from the State gndus- tial School in this city early to-day, 1p was the most daring break for lib- erty made in years at this Institution and the most unsuccessful In the end, for witnin five hours ten of the sixteen fugitives had been captured. The leader of the gang. Frank Camp- bell, nineteen years old, of Buffalo, was the first one caught. ‘The escape was effected at 5.45 o'clock, Guard Riley had just sounded the re- Veule and was Inszecting the dressing of the prisoners in the guard house. Young Campbell crept up behind Riley and felled him to the floor with a blow on the jaw, Assisted the other prisoners, Camp- pel! dragged the guard jato a’ dormi- tory, stole his Keys and locked him in, A window was knocked out of the west Wall and the prisoners escaped through the aperture, Guards are searching for the other six’ fugitives. BRODIE DUKE’S WIFE TO KEEP UP FIGHT. Says She Intends to Contest Ver- dict Againsc Her in His Divorce Suit. ‘A sealed verdict of the jury, which heard only one side of the divorce con- tention between Brodie L. Duke and Alice Webb Duke, who were married in December, 19, opened by Justice Blanchard in the Supreme Court to-day dec.ared that Duke's charge had been sustained. He alleged that his wife came from Chicago to Detroit in a stateroom in a Pullman sleeper on the night of May 8, 105, with an unmar- red co-respondent. ‘Che jury held that Mrs. Duke's change against Duke, about which no testimony was taken Was not true, This verfict will be the basis of an application’ by Champe 8.

She declares that her wit- nesses have heen bought up in the in- terest of Duke, and that she will prove it. when the time comes, The verdict Was, of course, the natural result of a tice Bianchard's warning to Duke's that Mrs. Duke was entitled day, in court to the defend it her. 3 Senatorial (With apologies to the Courtesy. Congressional Record.) By Walter A. Sinclair. The Senate—eo we've always heard—ts quite devoid of sounds— A dignified mausoleum, where courtesy abounds, Where silence answers critics back, an echo for a word, Where naught but stately speeches and polite retorts are heard. Rare gems of thought and language, like this dainty little prize Of repartee, “The Senator 1s yello w to the eyes.” Oh, Cicero.could never speak replies as grave as that In days when he put Cataline so neatly on the mat. This repartee so clever when delivered from the floor, According to the papers, ‘put the Senate in a roar.” But nothing seems to touch this piece of stately ridicule, he Senator was being kicked quite swiftly by a mule.” What tomes of veneration we-can lavish on that band That stands for courtly statesmanship throughout our busy land. The haughty, solemn grandeur of our legislative peers, Whose lofty institution each American reveres. Such delicate allusions as have spattered o'er the brim, “The Senator can't hope to get the yellow out of him.” Oh, Senatorial courtesy! that bugaboo of old, Which causes stately answers to be coined in words of gold. Where else can we find noted such a gem of thought sublime, “Tho Senator's before the Senate nearly all the time.” “The Senator is jaundiced,” also added to the glee; A stately thing and high is Senatorial courtesy, “MAKE RAILROADS OBEY THE LAW" Magistrate Crane Gives Tip to Health Board in Setting Free “L” and Subway Spitters. © eases, Magistrate Crane in Harlem Police Court to-day discharged eleven men ar- rested for spitting on the floor of Sufy- way and “L" stations in Harlem.

A jiss Kuhn Suffers No Serious Injuries, Say Surgeons, Although she fell seven storles from the ofMce building at No, 41 West Twen- ty-fourth etreet, bumped off a cornice and finally landed flat on her back on the brick sidewalk, Miss Hattle Kohn, a young stenographer, is {n a fair way to recover at the New York Hospital, where to-day the surgeons decided her only injury is a fractured arm. The natural supposition that she sut- fered internally 1s practically disproven by the careful examination to which she has been subjected since she was taken there yesterday afternoon. If, as 13 contidently expected, the young womnn recovers she will be able to look back upon an expertence through which probably no other girl ever passed and lived to tell of it, So quickly hus she regained possession of her faculties that to-day she was able to tell her parents of the way in whicn sh¢ came to plunge from the w!
