STARVNG iN NEW ‘r'. RK.
Unable to Obtain \Vork, but Too Proud to
Beg and T06 Honest to Steal.
One of the City’s great army of un-
employed fell unconscious yesterday
for lack of food at the corner of Doy—
ers street and the. Bowery.
In "the. Hudson Street Hospital.
where he was cared for, he went dm 'n
on the record as “Frank Lyman, 29
years old; born ‘in. New Yerk, :25
years; occupation, sign painter; dis-
ease. destitution, syncope."
Last Tuesday night Lyman had his
last inorsel of food. It was a. banana.
It took his last cent. He trainped the
streets all that night, and there was
no breakfast in sight. All day Wed-
nesday he had no food.
' The rest of his story told to the kind
hearted doctors and nurses at Hudson
titreet Hospital follows:
"Thursday morning came, and
again no breakfast. I say breakfast
from force of habit, perhaps, but I
ought ’to say nothing to eat was in
sight.
"It isn‘t a laughing matter to be
starving in a big city, but it does
seem comical, in a way, when you
think of the millions all around you.
I‘ve heard, too, that the. farmer out
.West is burning wheat~burning
bread, really.
“I‘d given a week’s hard work for
one good bite into a loaf of bread.
"I went downtown. Yes, I went
into restaurant after restaurant, but
the people didn’t believe me. Now, I
look partly respectable. But every—
body sems to have been overrun with
requests for food.
“Sly pride rebelled at. asking for
foo-.1, but my stomach rebelled harder,
and it was a care of swallowing my
pride for the take )1? getting some—
thing more sub .tan. .n to swallow.
“But the pan, s of hunger were get-
ting worse. I .011 ' .l I’ll share my
last piece of bread .ith a man who
felt. the pangs of hunger as I did. I
wouldn't wish my worst enemy more
agony.
“I felt hitter towards the world.- I
thought it owed me at least half a
loaf of bread or two. as I was will-
ing to work for it. No, I don‘t think
suicide ever came to my mind.
"i. recollect now that people looked
at me in a queer way as they hurried
by. I suppose I was as pale as a
ghost.
"As far as I recollect, I walked up
l‘ark 1::ng to the Bowery. I didn’t
care what became of me now. I
found myself walking harder and
harder, and the pain greater and
gi‘taltei‘.
"The last place I recollect seeing
was r restaurant just across the way
from Buyers street.

seemed to turn
"'1 non e‘. erything
around. I felt that awful pang leav-
ing rue—oh, what a relief—and the
last I recollect was an effort to stop
from falling."
Lyman was quickly surrounded by
hundreds of people. Even Cinnamon
hylzed. He had fallen to the side—

railed. "Starvation,” explained the

THE HENlEitStN CASE.
The Big Theatrical Manager Wants a
Divorce From His Wife.
i‘
A PROMINENT ACTRESS, SHE.
George Ballnnt‘ine, the Son of the Famous
Brewer, Also -Figures In This
Tangle—A Sensational Revolv-
er Episode" 13 Recalled.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-——David Henderson,
one of the most prominent theatrical man-
agers in the country, has filed a suit for
divorce against his wife, Grace Henderson,
who is now playing the leading woman’s
part in “Under the Polar Star,’_’ now run-
ning at the Columbia. theater, Chicago.
George Alexander Ballantlne of New-
ark, N. J., is named as corespondenb.
Mr. Ballantine, who is 27 years old, is
a son of the late Peter Ballantine, the
wealthy brewer, and inherited a. fortune
from his father. In 1891 he married Mabel
Lathrop of Boston, and shortly afterward
the young couple went to Paris, where
Ballantine studied architecture.
It. was alleged that his wife made the
acquaintance of members of the American
embassy in Paris, and her husband ob-
tained a divorce. There was one child of
the marriage.
George A. Ballantine, on Aug. 28 last,
married Mrs. Minnie Howe Parry, a
daughter of James S. Chambers of Ger.
mantown, Pa., whose first husband had
been a Baltimore business man.
Previous to his second marriage in is
said he had become very friendly with
Grace Henderson, and it. was his anger at
this marriage which led to a scandal and
an accusation on the part of the man that
the actress had attempted to kill him by
shooting.
Mrs. Henderson, in September last, gave
in the following words her own version of
this affair:
“My life is a sad one. My husband,
Mr. Henderson of Chicago, failed. I was
left with a child to light. my way in the
world. When I met. Mr. Ballantine, in
,December last, I was playing at theAmer-
ican theater, New York, and was loaded
down with debts. He helped me. He was
very generous, and I learned to love him.
“I had a handsome home and was hap.
pier than I ever thought to be. I never
doubted his sincerity until one day he told
me that if he should ever marry he would
give me ample notice. Like a. flash I re-
'allzed my position. I knew he could not;
marry me, as my husband was still living,
and I had not obtained a divorce. No
woman could have been more devoted to
him than I was.
The Revolver Episode.
“On Eriday, Aug. 28, he came to my
house and told me that he was going to
leave me forever; that; ho was going to
marry. I did not know what I was doing.
All the world was a blank to mo. 1 sol 'eti
my little dorringer and turned it. upon my-
self. Mr. Ballanbino seized the weapon.
I would not. have hurt; one hair of George’s
head.
“But; he played the part; of a coward.
He left. here about; 4 o’clock, taking my
pistol with him.
“His valet came next; morning to in
form me that Ballantlnc had been mar-
ried at; 6 o’clock, and two hours later on
the very day he was married he retained
Howo & Hummel to prosecute me for at-
tempting to shoot him.
“I had fully resolved to kill myself. I
had nothing to live for. I was deeply in
debt) and had none to care for me. Mr.
Hummel came to see me and demanded
all the letters I had received from Mr. Bal-
lantine.
“Then I saw the whole scheme—the
false accusation had been made for this
purpose. The letters show how much Mr.
Ballantine used to car/e for me.”
Mrs. Grace Henderson said in Chicago
last night that she had not; anticipated
any action on the part of her husband, as
there was no foundation for his charges.
