A WOMAN GOl-IFESSES.

The Poughkcepsie Murder Mystery Is
Proluptly C'r-arcd Up.

Pouenknsrsm, N. Y., Oct. 31.-—The
mystery about the murder of Martin De-
laney, the young man who was killed last
night while peering over astone wall at a
young man and his sweetheart on the
Hyde Park road, was solved today. The
solution has caused as great a surprise as
the news of the murder.

The local police today arrested Thomas
Manchester, a clerk, and Miss Edna Min
or for the murder. ‘ .

It is not known who supplied the claw
but immediately after having arrested the
girl, who is young and quite good look-
ing, she confessed that she was with Man-
chester last night and that he fired the
fatal shot.

Manchester declines to talk about the
crime. He is a married man, and there is
great indignation over the affair.

Miss Miner was until a short time ago
a waitress at, Mrs. Bentell’s restaurant at
Bridge and Main streets. Her family is
quite well known here, and her brother,
who is highly respected, is a clerk on the
steamboat Mary Powell.

The prisoners were arraigned in the re-
corder’s court and were remanded to
await the action of the grand jury.

The murder was committed at 10
o’clock. Delaney, with three friends, was
returning from a walk. Opposite Dr. Mc-
Cormick’s residence in Washington street
a man and woman were together in the
shadow of a cedar tree. The boys stopped
a few feet away, which angered the man.

The boys leaped over the wall to avoid a
row. As they did this a shot rang out.
Frightened, they were r‘imbing back
again .to run away. Martin Delaney, the
first to mount the well, received a second
shot, which killed him.

The man cried, “How do you like that?”
The boys replied, “You have killed Mar-
tin!”

The couple then ran down Washington
street, which is a suburb, and escaped in
the darkness.

PRINCE VON HOHENLOHE DEAD.

He \Vas 3 Cardinal and a. Brother of the
German Chancellor.

ROME, Oct. 31.—Cardinal Gustav Adolf
von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst, brother of
the chancellor of the German empire and
archpriest of the Liberian basilica, died
here today of apoplexy.

 

Cardinal Hohenlohe was born in Ger-
many cn Feb. 26, 1825, and studied at the
Universities of Bonn, Breslau and Mn-
nich. In 1846 he went to Rome, entered
the Ecclesiastical academy and was conse~
crated a priest by Pope Pius IX.

He became successively secret chamber-
]ain, almoner and bishop, and in 1866 he
was created a cardinal. After the entry
of the Italian troops into Rome in 1870 he
went to Germany and staid there for sev-
eral years.

In 1872 it was proposed to appoint him
ambassador of the German empire at the
Vatican. but Pius IX refused his assent
to the project, and Prince von Hohenlohe
resumed his functions of cardinal at Rome
in 1876.

In 187!) he was promoted to be cardinal
bishop of Albeno, but as the result of dis-
scnsions in the papal court, Prince Hohen-
lobe resigned his title of cardinal bishop
‘ and again returned to Germany, where he
settled upon his estates. In 1884, how-
ever, he once more returned to Rome and
resumed the rank of a cardinal priest.

STARVNG IN NEW YLRK.
Unable to Obtain Work, but Too Proud to
Beg and T00 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-
crs street and the Bowery.

In the Hudson Street Hospital,
where he was cared for, he went down
on the record as “Frank Lyman, 29
years old; born in New York, 25
years; occupation, Sign painter; dis-
ease, dcstitution, syncope."

Last Tuesday night Lyman had his
last morsel of food. It was a banana.
It took his last cent. I-Ie trumped the
streets all that night, and there was
no breakfast in sight. All day \Vcd-
ucsday he had no food.

The rest of his story told to the kind
hearted doctors and nurses at Hudson
Street Hospital follows: ‘

"Thursday morning came, and
again no breakfast. I say breakfast
from force of habit, perhaps, but I
ought to say nothing to cat 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.
l’vc heard, too, that the farmer out
\Vcst 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. ‘

“My pride rebelled at asking for
food, but my stomach rebelled harder,
and it was a case of swallowing my
pride for the sake of getting some-
thing more substantial to swallow.

“But the pangs of hunger were get-
ting worse. I tell you I’ll share my
last piece of bread with a man who
felt the pangs of hunger as I did. I
wouldn’t wish my worst enemy more
agony.

“I felt bitter 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
Park Row to the Bowery. I didn’t
care what became of me now. I
found myself walking harder and
harder, and the pain greater and
greater.

“The last place I recollect seeing
was a restaurant just across the way
from Doyers street.

“Then everything seemed to turn
around. I felt that awful pang leav-
ing me—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 Chinamcn
looked. He had fallen to the side-
walk like a log. An ambulance was
called. “Starvation,” explained the
surgeon—New York World.

 

Just Like a. \Voman.

“Major, if you don’t punish that
boy, I will.”

The words fell sternly from the lips
of Mrs. Demo, who was ruefully
surveying the wreck of her best read-
ing lamp.

"Bob!” said the Major, severely,
come here. Maria, leave the room!”

Mrs. Domo went into the dining
room, and shut the door to keep out
the horrid sounds.

“Whack! Whack Whack!”
the Major.

“Wow! Oh, wow!
again!” from the boy.
“W’hack’ Whack! “’hack!
will you break lamp shades,
young whelp of Satan?”

"No—o! No—o!” sobbed Bobby.

“IVhack! Whack! Whack!”

Mrs. Demo’s ire by this time was
quite evaporated.

Again that dreadful slipper fell, and
again the air was rent with the yells
of tortured innocence.

“0h, Major, stop!”

“Not by a jugful.
splendid time in here.
Whack! Whack!"

Mrs. Domo could stand it no longer.

“Stop it, you big brute!” she or
claimed, rushing into the apartment.

Then she grew maddcr than ever.
There, on his hands and knees, was
the Major, galloping around on the
carpet, while Bobby was larruping a
slipper and giving vent to terrific
cries of woe.—-Chicago Dispatch.

, The Sund'ayDinner.

The Sunday dinner in many a
household is made the feast of the
week. This means anything but a
day of rest in the kitchen. The meals
on Sunday should be of the simplest,
so that the housewife may have the
most rest possible. In these days of
difficulty in securing good help in the
house, too much cannot be done to
make Sunday a perfect day of rest
for the women of the household. es-
pecially in hot weather. Rest is the
best health retainer and strengthener
also, as well as the cheapest.
