Mrs. .l'aeger Told the Coroner She Would
Have a. Case For Him.
THEN SHE KILLED HERSELI'.
Carefully- Planned Suicide of the \Vife of
3 Well Known Musical Instructor
In New York—Cousteau:- ‘
tion of the COroner.
New York, Aug. 5.—Mrs. Laura Jae—
ger,, wife of Felix Jaeger,‘ the eminent
teacher of vocal music and musical
sciences and attached to the New York
Conservatory of Music at 112 East
Eighteenth street, ended her life in a
deliberate manner. , That the suicide
had been planned was evident from the
fact that the woman paid a. visit last
evening to the house of Coroner Hoeber,
on Lexington avenue, and told him that
she would have a case to report to him
‘ today. '
She returned to her apartments on the
top floor of the building in which the
Conservatory of Music is located and
wrote a. letter to Coroner Hoeber, ar—
rayed herself in a handsome white
dress, sat down to a table and, turning
on the gas in her room, inhaled the gas
until she died. She was found in that
position today dead. On the outside of
the door of the room in which she died
was tacked the following, written in
German on a piece of paper:
“This door not to be opened except
’ by the coroner.”
There is scarcely a doubt that Mrs.
Jaeger was insane, and her insanity
took on the form of jealousy. For more
than a year there have been frequent-
eruptions between husband and wife,
the latter being extremely jealous of
the young women members of her hus-
band’s classes. Mrs. Jaeger Was :1 WO-
man of extravagant ideas, and her hus-
band is just the opposite. His habits
are of the most domestic character and
his home was the pleasantest place of
all to him, according to his friends.
The president of the New York Con—
servatory of Music is S. N. Griswold.
He told the story today concerning the
life and habits of Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger.
Jaeger a Fine Instructor.
The former, he said, is without a peer
in his ‘particular line of study. His
wife, he said, was a woman of excep—
tional refinement and education, besides
being a woman of wonderful beauty
and attraction. He said that about
three years ago Mr. Jaeger began his
association with the New York Con-
servatory of Music. His profession,
however, extended outside of the in-
stitution, and he had many classes and
was director of numerous singing so-
cieties and concerts. This kept him
away from home a great deal, and his
continual absence from her is supposed
to have led ultimately to the breaking
down of her mind.
Mr. Griswold said that the couple had
been living in apartments on the top
floor of the building since his connec-
tion with the institution and that about
a. year ago he first began to notice the
disagreements between husband and
wife. At that time, he said, Mrs. Jae-
ger said to him that she intended to
begin action for a. divorce. Subsequent-
ly Mr. Griswold explained to her the
impossibility of such a. thing, and for
awhile she appeared to be satisfied.
Quarrels between the couple, how-
ever, began to be of frequent occur-
rence. The last one apparently of any
seriousness occurred last Friday night,
when the wife gave away'a. little dog
of which Mr. Jaeger was particularly
fond; Mrs. Jaeger presented the dog to
a gentleman who called there, and on
the way down the stairs with the ani-
mal the man was met by Mr. Jaeger,
who ordered him to return the dog. Mr.
Griswold subsequently heard Mrs. Jae-
ger scream at the top of her voice, and
then she came running down stairs,
shouting for the police. Mr. Griswold
pacified her and told her that “to err is
human; to forgive, divine.” ' The wom-
an saidrthat she would endeavor to fol-
low out Mr. Griswold’s advice.
According to Mr. Griswold Professor
Jaeger was much worried over the ac-
tions of his wife, and, with tears in his
eyes, on the following day told him
that he could stand the strain very
little longer. He said that his wife re-
pulsed his every little kindness toward
her, and he then expressed his belief
that his wife was losing her mind. On
the advice of Mr. Griswold Mr. Jaeger
spent the day yesterday at Coney Is-
land. On his return last night he dis-
covered that his wife had locked him
out, and he went to an adjoining room,
where he slept upon a couch. When he
awoke 'this morning, he discovered the
note written by his wife and tacked
upon the sleeping room door.
Found Her Dead.
Two policemen were called in and the
door was burst open. Mrs. Jaeger’s
dead body was found seated in a chair
as already described. 'There was every
indication about the room that the wo-
‘man had made careful preparation for
her death. The coroners’ office was then
notified.
Coroner Hoeber called at the house
in a very excited mood. He asked of
Mr. Griswold if Mrs. Jaeger had com—
mitted suicide. When informed‘that
she had, the coroner said that he had
received a letter from her by an early
mail today which stated that she would
be dead at the time ‘he received it. The
coroner said that he was visited by Mrs.
Jaeger yesterday evening. She appear—e.
ed very much interested in the neces—
sary methods of reporting coroner’s
cases. The/coroner said that if she had
a case to report to him she could report
it then.
“I have no case now,” she said. “What
time will you leave your house tomor-
row morning?” ,
“My usual hour of leaving ‘is 10
o’clock,” answered the coroner.
“Then .before 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning,” said Mrs. Jaeger, “I will
have a case for you.”
The coroner said that the woman ap-
peared not at all excited and there was
no indication of insanity about her or
her conversation. ‘

at times I could not. move and I was
compelled to get up often at night to
urinate and lost a great .deal of sleep.
I trled medicines and plasters but they
would not cure me. I saw Dean’s Kid-
ney Pills advertised and I got a box at
Hale’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble, I have every reason to
think that they are just what the man-

Scheme to Substitute }:i‘!:'i‘o For Chinese
Labor—Protectors...- Rumor. -
Cincinnati,rAug. 5.—-A dispatch to the-
Cincinnati Enquirer from Massilion, 0.,
says: “The Hawaiian government de-
cided on July 28 to issue no more six
months residence permits to Chinese.
This practical exclusion following the
lines of American legislation means
much to American laborers. The fore:
going statement was obtained by Wat-
son H. Wyman and mailed to San Fran-
cisco. Mr. Wyman also sends the fol-
lowing information from Honolulu:
“ ‘I am able to state that there is in
contemplation a plan for stocking the
islands with colored laborers from the
cane plantations of the United States.
No white laborer can stand the cane-
fleld work or the work on the rice
plantations or the humid climate here.
It speaks Volumes for the patriotism of
the islands that they are' ready to make
a. contract today, when annexation is
not even a. certainty, that will result in
the gradual diminution of Japanese la-
bor, for, of course, as time progresses
and existing contracts expire, the labor-
ers now under contract can be depOrted
and their places assumed by the over-
sippi. - V
“ ‘We are today advised that several
Japanese vessels are under way for
here and have it from a most credible
source that our steamer brought in-
structions to those in authority here
that if thé Japanese make the least
move the American flag is to be raised
instantly. It is fully felt here that this
would precipitate an uprising of. the
25,000 Japanese. who would be supplied
with arms from theNaniwa, and who
could then make it very unpleasant for
the whies. There is none too many
of these, and every man of them would
have to get out and shoot.’ "

Continued Intensity In the “’est and South-
west—llany Prostrations.
Cincinnati, Aug. 5.—Torrid weather
has set in here again. At 3 p. m. on
Monday the weather bureau thermom—
eter reached 94 degrees, with a high
percentage of humidity. Yest'erdaynvith
lower humidity, at 3 p. m. it reached
98 degrees. On Monday there were nine
cases of prostration, all slight. Yester-
day, with the higher temperature. there
were reported six prostrations, all
slight except that of Joseph Wyss,
which is likely to prove fatal. On the
street yesterday the merCury ranged
between 100 and 102. At 10 o’clock last
night it was 88.
St. Louis, Aug. 4.—The hot spell con—
tinues and there is great suffering, es-
pecially in the crowded down town sec-
tions of the city; On Monday night the
thermometer did not drop below ’r‘9 de-
grees, and yesterday it rose to 98 in the
shade. Many persons who had become
worn out with loss of 'sleep succumbed
to the heat.
Louisville, Aug. 4.-The hot wave in
this vicinity continues. At 2:30 yester—
day afternoon the mercury touched 98.5
degrees and remained in that vicinity
until sundown. There were numerous
prostrations, several‘of which will prove
fatal. Throughout the state the heat
was intense. At Greensburg 104 degrees
was registered, the highest for years.
Dispatches received here from Meridian
and Jackson, Miss; Mobile, Memphis
and Nashville report the highest tem-
perature of the season, the thermometer
at Jackson registering 103 degrees.
Cloudburst In Colorado.
Castle Rock, Colo., Aug. 5.——A cloud-
burst has occurred here, causing the
most serious flood ever known in this
county. Plum creek became a raging
torrent in a few minutes, and about 100
bridges on that stream and its tribu-
taries were washed away. The Denver
and Rio Grande and Santa Fe Railway
companies suffered some, but the dam-
age does not interfere with regular
train service.
