New York, Feb. ~.
This morning a startling tragedy was en-
acted on the platform of the down town sta
ton of the Sd Avenue elevated railway, at
59th Street. woman, at present unknown,
made a murderOus assault on a man who gave
his name to the police as Victor Grafton An
dree, shooting him in the thigh. She then
put the pistol to her own temple, fired and
fell dead. The shooting occurred while the
two, with others. were waiting for the train,
and created much excitement. The police
took the wounded man to the hospital No
explanation of the mystery is yet at hand. To
the police the man said he was Victor Graf
ton Andree of 734 Lexington avenue, a jour
nalist connected with German newspaper,
and a teacher. He admitted that he knew
the woman who shot him, but refused to give
any explanation of her act. Nothing was
found on the woman which would lead to her
Identification. In Andree's room were found
several letters in wOman's hand writing
They were written in English by woman of
education, and contained terms of bitter re-
proach. Andree is highly educated, grad
uate of Berlin, and taught German, rhetoric
and algebra in the Institute. He came rec
commended very highly from Germany, and
was readily admitted TO excellent society in
the city.
LATER.
The police discovered that the young
woman who shot Victor c. Andree at the 59th
street station this morning was Miss Jennie
H. Almey, aged "a. who taught in the Kim
dergarten school. Andree's condition was
worse at the hospital and he vomited blood
continuously. The physicians say he cannot
recover.
In an ante mortem statement he admitted
that he was engaged to marry Miss Almey,
but broke the promise upon discovering that
she was divorced wife. He would not
state how he found it out or give further
particulars. and the police doubt the truth of
the statement.

The shipping Question.

The House shipping committee is impa-
tient under the enforced delay in the consid-
Grafton of the Dingley shipping bill. Its
members hope to get it up in day or two,
unless An appropriation bill is brought
forward tomorrow. Meanwhile the commit
tee has added to the Dingley bill the 10Th and
20th sections of Mr.. Frye's bill, giving ves-
sells engaged in foreign trade 81 a mile for
carrying the mails, and also fixed the limit
on tonnage tax at 80 cents a ton . year, as in
the Frye bill. Mr.. Dingley's bill and the
FRYE bill are now alike. The friends of the
common bill are hopeful that it will pass
both houses free ship and free material
amendment will be moved in both houses,
only, il 10 believed, to be defeated The
House committee on shipping viii this week
hear arguments in regard to the compulsory
pilotage question. Bills abolishing compul-
sory pilotage will, it il believed, be reported

The pistol was found where Conant said
he left it. 1t was exhibited as found, with
three chambers empty.

Success OF Prohibition in Maine.

WAsHISGTON, Feb. IL.
Gsv. Dingley, in a lecture on temperance
here. gave sketch of the result of prohibition
in Maine. He said that the law had come to
stay, and that it has done . great deal of
good. He said The most reliable reports
obtainable show that in Maine there is one
retail dealer for every 700 of the population,
while in the Northern states under the Ii
cense law there is one saloon for every 210,
and in the District of Columbia one saloon
for every 176 persons. There is less crime
in Maine according to its population than any
State wholly under license. Maine is better
Of under prohibition than she was under Ii
cense laws and she has tried both. The same
is true in other States in which certain coun-
ties have adopted prohibition, as West vir-
giuia, Georgia and Maryland. where the facts
show q great decrease in crime and in the
number of dram shops.

IT is no wonder that so many people
sink into untimely graves when we con-
slider how they neglect their health.
They have disordered liver, derauged
bowels, constipation, piles or diseased
kidneys, but they let it 60 and think they
"will get over it." 1t grows worse, other
and more serious complications follow,
and soon it is too late to save them. If
such people would take Kidney'Wort it
would preserve their lives. 1t acts upon
the most important organs, purifying the
blood and cleansing the system, removes
and prevents these disorders and promotes
health.
