MRS. THAW.

A, New York corespondent wrote I the other day — •'Any gentleman of wealth aud leisure who desires to cultivate th© acquaintance of tnat eminent stage beauty who as Evelyn. Nesbitt became world-famous as the wife of Harry Jv. 'lliaw, may now have an opportunity, as she sajs she has decided to leave him. Since Thaw is permaneiroly counnod in the Hospital for the Criminal Insane,, his wife could, of course, g©i> a divorce if she wished. The stato moiit oi iior last interview with him, when she asked, if he really meant to take faio furniture from h&r flat, is. of inberosb. To a reporter she said: "les i went to sob lliaw on TnaiiKsgiving. 'Look here,' I asked liim, 'what kind of an Indian, giver a-re you anyway 'i iViost of that furniture I bought myself, and the part you gave me isn't worth the price ot caa-ryiiig it downstairs.' i ( 'or tiie next fifteen minutes we were conversational goats leapiug from crag to crag, wiwiout getting to anything definite. Then 1 put it right up to him that I was supposed to get 70 dollars a week, aiiu that 1 hadn't seen the colour of any or' iiis money since last June. I wanted to know liow about that. 'Look here Thaw,' I said. 'I've* been pretty decent to you all the way through, but this is' getting monotonous. 1 beg to remind you that I ruined my reputation twice for you, and now apparently you're prepared to set your trustees after me and give me the worst of it.. All 'right, if that's your last word, I'm going, and I take pleasure in bidding you good-day.' And then I went. I think that the time has com© for me to engage a law. yer and institute a suit for an annulment of my marriage. I have no income, and lam in debt' 'up to my ears and I fancy 1 shall have to move away from here soon. They took my piano the other day. I hadn't the money to pay the instalments."
