HoBoKEN MYSTERY.

Wife Of Prominent Citizen Found Dead
The Husband and Servant Girl Held
on suspieion.
New YORK, December 30.-The citi
sens OF Hoboken we're thrown into in
tense excitement over the mysterious
death Of Mrs. Sophia Friecken. wife OF q
wealthy tobacco dealer. doing bus
iness in this city. Both husband
aud vile are we'll known in Ger
man circles, and occupy promin'
ent position in Hoboken society. Mrs,
Friecken was found strangled in her
bathroom, with suspicious circum
stances surrounding her death. Fol-
some time she had been separated from
her husband, and had been laboring un-
der great mental depression. She
is the mother OF three pret-
ty children. The position of the
body and want Of sufficient marks on
her neck led to the belief that she was
murdered and the cord attached 10 her
head after her death. Gerhardine
Brede, a pretty young German girl,
servant in the family, and the husband
of the dead woman, were
placed under arrest and locked
up on the order OF the Corontr
The neighbors say that the couple
lived very unhappily together previous
to the separation and had many despe-
rate quarrels. The husband visited the
house night before last and was also
there during the greater part OF the day.
lie says that he did not See his wife.
The servant states that she sleeps next
to his wife's room. She says that Thurs
day night she was afraid to sleep
in her room. as usual, and
took another apartment. The rope
around the wouan's neck had a hall
dozen knots tied at the back, and could
not possibly have been 40 placed by a
suicide. The dead woman had recently
been to Europe at her husbands ex-
pense. The children had been under
the charge OF the girl Gerhardine. There
is report OF an intimacy between the
husband and the servant, whom the
neighbOrs say is the cause OF all the
trouble.

WHAT NATTER.

What matter, friend, though you and
May SOW, and Others gather?
We build, and Others occupy,
Each lsboring for the other.
What though we toll from sun to sun,
And men forget to iatter
The nobest work our hands have done
If God approve, what matter?
What matter though we SOW in tears,
And crops fail at the reaping;
What though the fruit of patient years
Fast perish in our keeping;
Upon our boarded treasure, floods
Arise and tempests gather
If faith beho'ds beyond the clouds
A clear sky, what matter?
What matter though our castles fall,
And disappear while building;
Though strange handwriting on the wall,
Flame cut amid the gliding;
Though every idol of the heart
The hand of death may shatter;
Though hopes decay md friends depart
If heaven be ours, what matter?

JOB oREag'TE.R'G
CLOTHE CHILDREN WITH
WOOL.

~ VOLs
In numerous instances young
children are clad too thinIy in
cold weather for their health and
comfort. When a little lad or
girl is constantly snufiing and the
aostris are full Of offensive snot,
it is a certain Indication that he or
she needs more clothing. We
have in mind several boys who
were often reproached BY the vex-
ing appellation Of ''snot nose," be-
cause their bodies and limbs were
so thinly clad that they contracted
cold so frequently that offensive
mucus was almost always running
from the nostrils. Young children
are exceedingly sensitive to cold
weather.T little, tender fingers,
delicate toss and thin skin cannot
resist the cold like adults, whose
bodies are covered with a thick
layer Of fat, and whose skin is in
ured to sudden transitions Of
temperature. 1t is Of eminent
Importance that the extrcmeties
the feet and bands-of young
children, be clothed with flannel
or woollen garments or with fur,
that every part may be kept COM
tortabiy warm. A noted writer
in the Medical Journal says, con-
cernirg this subject: We serious
y think that many lives are sac
riiced to ignorance and erroneous
ideas. Among the poor the scant-
mess Of children's clothing is quite
remarkable. Winter and summer
arc not distinguished by any
change Of dress ; short sleeves,
bare necks and legs are not the
exception, they are the rule ; cot
ton or thin stufs are not changed
for woolIen Or flannel, and sc on in
all other respects; beyond a shawl
or some such addition, there IS
very little difference between their
clothing in summer and winter.
Yet this system is not the result
Of carelessness. It has become
q custom, which has many sup
porters. 1t does not occur ito
| most people that the air inside
| their houses, if thoy are properly
ventilated, is as pure as the air
outside. We should say that no
child too young to walk or run
should be taken out when the ex-
ternal temperature is below fifty
degrees that the rooms in which
they live and sleep should never
be below ffty-eight degrees and
the day room should be three or
four degrees warmer. We would
earnestly appeal tc mothers to put
aside all feelings of vanity, or
what is sometimes miscalled natu-
raj pride, and cover the arms,
neck and legs Of their children as
a simple sanitary precaution. High
frocks, long sleeves and warm
stockings should be worn out of
! doors. Hats should cover the
head, and boots are important to
keep the feet as dry and warm as
possible. On coming in from our
streets. nearly always damp, both
boots and stockings should be
changed. If the feet be cold, a
warm foot bath should be used for
q few minutes. The exquisite pain
of chilblains could be- saved to
many children by this use Of hot
water for hands and feet. We see
that flannel has yielded to merino,
chiefly on account of the greater
| convenience Of ready-made under
clothing but there is nothing
| equal to flannel in the property OF
preserving warmth.

/ MOHHER'S SiCRIFICE.

u uIS Uuiuou III GHO ~" Si~IS;
but the little light it gave re-
vealed all the grace of Mrs. Wing
fields slight form in its close
fitting robes of black. Tonight,
for the first time in her two years
of widowhood, she laid of the
widows cap, which had for so
lorg served to conceal the thick
auburn braids so artistically colled
about the small head. Perhaps
for this same reason she had dis
missed the butler when he en-
tered according to custom to light
lamps, or perhaps because the
slow ticking Of the clock upon
the mantel revealed to her sufi-
ciently the lapse Of time without
compelling her to distinguish the
hands upon the face of the dial
drawing nearer and nearer the
hour whose close approach dis
sipated the calmness she vainly
strove to gain.
Eighteen years had passed since
she and Arthur Main waring had
met. They had been lovers in
that far-off time, but he was poor
then, with no whisper in the air
of the rich inheritancee to which
he afterward fell heir, just too
late for it to bring happiness to
either. Not that they cared for
wealth: either Of them, but then
there were older, wiser minds to
Judge for both, and so, each VOW
ing eternal vows, they were torn
apart.
Six short months later she
married Edward Wingfeld. He
was, fortunately, not a man to
look for love and sentiment in his
young wife-only wifely duty and
ohediance. Tn these she never
failed him, and after his death the
world found proof Of his esteem in
the fact that to his widow revert
ed al! his fortune, untrammeled
by single reservation.
She had married very young.
She was but thirty five now.
Would he find her changed, she
wondered-he for whose coming
she waited here to-day?
simultaneously with the thought
came the sound of carriage,
wheels and horses hcofs on
the gravelcd walk. She started
to her feet, pressing both hands
upon her fast, beating heart. On
ly that morning she had received
the telegram announcing Arthur
Mainwaring's coming, and already
he was here. She was glad, oh
so glad, that the room was dark
when she heard the quick, firm
tread she had sometimes heard
in her dreams during these long
wears of dutiful living: so glac
that he could not see the qulck
blush, which put her matronhooo
to shame, when the door wa:
thrown hastily open, and three o.
four swift strides brought him t(
her side.
