Ftaped With fnd Married Her Owa Mother’s Hosband. T rr X ■Spr. Er m V THE PITIABLE STORY As T*M by the Ootrafed Wife is the T New York Courts is Her Plea for • Divorce from Her Cruel sod Usoutunl Husband Who Married Dau{bter. No modern InsUnoe is comparable to the oaae of Mrs. Bruce Grade No. t, who ousted her own'mothers's af fections out of the heart of her own stepfather, whose first wife was Mrs. Orane No. 1—the new bride’s own mother—and eloped with him. Bruce Crane baa" just married bis divorced wife’s daughter, co-respond ent In this Ignoble case. Where may one find a situation and a complication more heartless? lira. Btuoe Crane, who was Mrs. Jeanne Burobard Bralnerd before she became Mrs. Bruce Crane, had Xwo daughters when she Intrusted herself and her widowhood into the bands of Mr. Bruoe Crane, then a struggling— and afterward, while she was his wife —matured Into one of the most dis tlnguished landscape painters In the whole United States. When the second Mrs. BPuce Crane's own mother was in the slough of des S ind and was oast into prison, she d not vit.lt her own mother. Hut she kept on keeping house for her fa mous stepfather, Bruce Crane. When, after the first Mrs. Bruoe Orane, who bad given up a l money, and everything she had in life to give up, and when her daughter took the aide of the artist father against her own mother, she did not e ven visit her own mother In her dire extremity. When the first .Mrs. Bryce Crane was haled 1 afore a magistrate In a police court in Greater New York her own daughter who has succeeded to her own mother's “name and fame,” let her be looked up In a cell like any common, ordinary unfortu nate without coming to the rescue— and now after all the agony of spirit the first Mrs. Bruce Crane has g me through—goaded so by desperation that she even bad to tx g -as a final release from all her Intense misery that she must namr her own daughter as the oo respondent of her husband, hlsstepdsughter and natural guardian of the child to whom she bad Intrust ed him, her portion is that ut intense shame. She has seen all her hope* blasted, all her life ruined, and all the field of her existence ungar nered by the unnatural conductor hrr daughter v'bo has stolen avay from her own mother the heart of tier mother's husband. ta'^thmi friends of the family and with private physicians but it has all been of no anil. 1 have pleaded with her for the sake of our children’’— Then the storm in the heart of Mrs. Crane broke: “Our children!” she echoed in an impassioned out burst; “why are they not here? Where is myi Annie, my child—nou yours net ours, but my own. Oh, ray God, going through—and always why does she not oome to help me now aided.and abbst ted by my own daugh- It was after several most painful episodes that Mrs. Bruce Crane got desperate. She had gi ven Bruoe Crane her love, she had given him her money, she was a brilliant art critic htraelf. and she had impelled him by her own incentive and wifely help on the road to becoming ona of the most which might klWtiiCT[ti*'tW"'fff- M |*Jbcc,a',ful and distinguished painters ciiamiK 11. ▲ woman had been found in New York leaning against an Iron railing in Eighth avenue, between, Pifty- slxth and Fifty seventh streets, In the evening. It was in D^cembar, when It was bleak, cold, dismal, it was Just ten days before Christmas, to', when the whole city is suppoed to be alive to the most glorious spirit of Christianity: “Peace on earth, good will to men.” She was helpless. She could barely moan out her name and her adin ss “Oh Bruce, oh Bruoe,” she kept on moaning, as if there were an ache in her throat and a break In her heart, “oh. send for Bruoe,. or my little Annie.” OOBoer O'Leary, of the West Forty- seventh street police station, found her. With the quick instinct of bis profession be knew at once that she was a getnlewomm in a moet deplor able situation. He pondered a mo ment. m " ’'Where is yOUFTiome, Madame. Do you want to go home?” “Home. Home- yes, no, oh yes, take me hcmel No, don't, don't”— There wal a out over one one of her eyes, ■ult of a fall, and the officer called for an ambulance and took her .iu the Rooeevelt Hospital. Finally, after her mina bed quickened a little bit with warmth after her exposure, she gave her name and address; “Mrs. Bruoe Crane, No. avenue.” Her husband was notified. She sent for her daughter Annie. The daughter sent no response. The husband made no effort to oome to her rescue. So she had to be taken like any common unfortunate to the station house. Even after another notifica tion Bruoe Crane did not ball her out, nor did his stepdaughter hasten to her anosor, . . (Jan one imagine a more heartless or crueller ordeal than this, which bap-* pened the next morning in the Yofk- vllle Police Court?

Alone wlUj_ali the or dinary “drunks” and “thugs” and “riff-raff” of a great city Policeman O’Leary produced his prlsor er. There was that Innate something In her bearing, her carriage, her dignity, that Instantly compelled all eyes to focus on her, for Mrs. Bruoe Crane hAs always been a handsome woman.

She said He tamed hie head away iwar to the question of the “What do you wish Ha laid with calm, cold and —cow, when I most need a daughter’s love 1” “1 think my wife needs a physi cl .in's ministration more,” broke ii Mr. Crane,‘ MB1 with the most stead calm. Mr. Crane trifled with his. mut tache. V The situation was pltliule; the aL mosphere was tense- ‘ Ob, Bruce, Bruoe, what are you d tog?” She turned and throwing her arms about his neck, kissed him again and again. He tried to break sway from her grasp and her passionate appeal. “Where Is my daughter? Don’t separate us; for God’s sake don’t!” The answer came as if slit from ice: “You cannot go back to your cnil- dren.” . ’" “Don't say that after all I have done for you. Oh, Bri^oe, let me go back to my children, my babies. They netd their mothar. What are you doing?” she suddenly cried out hyster ically. “Are you stealing their ipve from me?” Sc ' “Don’t seperate us for the love of our unborn child; dun’t do It; don't do It. You used to love nr.e—you know you did. If 1 have transgressed, you know why and what made me do it. 1 am distraught, besides myself. Take me back to you, to shield- her pgsinht herself, and—you. "jDh. Bruce, Bruce, I plead to you, Bruce,” she kept on imploring. “1 plead to you as I have never plead d before and never will plead again. No matter what I have d me recently, forgive me for Annie’s sake, whom you say you lavs like your own daughter. “You know, too," she went on In the anguish of her sou', “that 1 am weak and worn out with nunlng you through typhoid and am not yet over the effec's of my own typhoid, which I got during my vigil for your own welfare. You know I have given you all, all my m mey, all my love, all my hopes, all my life."— At this crisis even the stolid calm of the brilliant landscape painter seemed to forsake him. Te*«* stood in his eyes. HIS immediate emotion overwhelmed him. He was about to gasp out—when in a second’s silence in the whole fierce outburst there was an Interruption. There fell from the mouth of the Magistrate himself these clear out words: “Sir,” said Magistrate Crane, ad dressing Bruoe Crane, ' you have a stern and, perhaps, a harsh dutr to perform. You must face it like a u an. You must do It for her sake aud for the sake of your children and yourself.” Then turning to Mrs. Crane, he said: “1 will detain you ualy temporarily until to morrow.” Mrs. Craue, weak and ei hausted, almost fell to the floor. Biuce Crane s leaked hurriedly away It was at this epoch In bis life that Bruoe Crane created a pain ling* and called It “Sunrise.” ImHgtnative friends have declared that v ben this strong picture was created they saw In It the motive of an idea to deptlct bis whole soul at that time. , The long stretch of the dreary, wearisome marsh was to typify—to his own, Intense self -his awn weari ness and dreariness with jls own wife. ^— The dull, cold, gray foreground wts his own heart; the overlying snow ard the bleak hills was his wife’s shade v on his life; the rising sun, iglcw n the far-away heavens was 1 is wife s daughter—the one bright, hopef spot. CHAPTER III. Of American landscape , Then there came.the little rift in the lute that was impossible to'be avoided. Mrs. Crane discovered that her own efind was sbbeptlng the attentions of her own husband. She was utterly discarded and forced to watch this utmost degeneracy. It had been uttered In the art world, wbeie Bruce Crane and his wife moved at that time, that Mrs. Bruce Crane murmured:, " " “I almost wish hdw that she had died before she was born." Mr. Bruce Crane afterward: “Its everything or suicide for me.” Mra. Craxu kept up her methodical impulse, “tie seems so fond of my own daughter. He does not seem to cafe for me," his own wife.” Imagine Mr. Bruoe Ctane reading into two women's heart at the same time—especially when one belonged bo his wife and the other belonged to bis own wife’s daughter. And then came next, for or against divorce, a most ignoble plea, as one may look at It. It has been said that the mother favored the dissolution, to save her own daughter name. Anyway, it was asked by the mother of her own child, against her own hus- ba.id. The stepdaughter was oorei- pendent In the piteous case. Today the daughter is acclaimed Bruoe Crane's wife. A d her own mother? Well, her own mother—she who brought her into the world—is the outcast, divorced wife of the man who is living with the daughter In the spouai. ; CHAPTER IV.' “My troubles with my husband be gan,” the has confessed, "when I first discovered his relation! with my daughter.

THX C0TT01QU18TI0I Debated in iba Honae by Johnson and Oiber Congressmen, During the debate on the army ap propriation bill in the house Wednes day Mr. Johnson (S. C ) made a short speech on the cotton question. He called attention to what be said was systematic effort, unfortunately successful, to bear down the price of cotton, and asserted that there was no justification for such a brutal cam- palgn of deception and mlsrepresen tatlon. ‘1 know,” be aald, “there are some kid glove gentry in New York who would not know a ootton patch from a pea patch, who are un d staking to tell the world that the southern farmer can make ootton at 4j cents.” If he bad the power, he said, be would have every m^n who gambled in cotton on the New York Ootton Exchange and who said that oitton could b; produced at 4} cents go down and with his own naked hands pull the bell oord of a mule and make cotton as that price. Mr. Douglass (N. Y.), interjected the remark that moet of the men speculating on the New York ex change were southern men, which caused Mr. Jc boson to declare that whether they vere southern men or not, they wen enemies of southern people and of good morals everywhere. The people of the south were holding cotton which they had no more idea of parting with at the present price than the owners of United States bonds had of selling them at 26 cents on the dollar. He predicted that be fore September 1, 1905, thousands of spindles in the United States and their abroad would be Idle because of inability to get cotton to spin. Mr. Johnson argued that it would he perfectly right for the southern ootton growers to agree among them selves to a reduction of the cotton crop to the extent of 50 per cent. Mr Slayden (Texts) said that a cur tailment of the ootton crop in tola country would only encourage l$e greater production of it in other countries. He warned toe southern members toat thsy ahould not be de luded by the idea that the south pos teased the only climate or soil which oQuldjarMuoe oottpn profitably. My h(i nouHl) Inf ur< U.

He was also in a partial ly unoonscous condition. The manner in which Wessinger met with his in jury is something of a mystery. He lives at 300 Elmwood avenue and Wednesday morning he started for the dispensary, to begin work at the usual timer Latbf orrhe staggered back to bis house bfulsed and bleeding and entirely unconscious. He was carried to Dr. Gibbs’ tffloe where bis wounds were dressed and be was removed to the home of bis mother. Mrs. Harriet Wesslnger, at 1108 Hugher street Last night it was decided to place him in the hospital. The aYnbulance was summoned and the removal was made with safety.
