The Once Gay Mrs. Spicer.


1t was one very hot Sunday morning about
ten years ago that the stiffness of Eleventh
street, near Sixth avenue, was broken by
mans voice crying from the second story of
handsome house for help. Neighbors
rushed in, and they found the gentleman who
owned the dwelling in the agonies of death.
A colored boy servant and geometrical,
beetle-browed wife were the only other oc-
cupants. The man who died was a Mr..
Spicer, noted horseman, who had brother,
and the brother was on friendly terms with
the sister-in-law up to few weeks after the
brothers death, when coming into possession
of all the property he disowned the widow,
ran her off and went his way unmolestsd,
she being seen no more. That Sunday morn
ing Vas the last for Mr.. Spicer. He had
be- little off, and sent to a Sixth avenue
drug store for seidlitz powder, and Mrs
Spicer had taken it from the colored boys
hand, gone into the bathroom, prepared 1t
and carried it to Mr.. Spicer in tho front
room. The gentleman swallowed the dose,
and almost Immediately cried out IN agony
and died in ten minutes after Its arrival In
his stomach Chemical analysis of the drugs
in the glass showed he had taken enough
strychnine to kill ten men. All the se1dl1tz
powders in the drugman's place were ana
1yzed-they were simply bicarbonate of soda
and tartaric acid. No strychnine appeared
in any Of them. The woman was arrested,
but the evidence did not warrant the author
tiles in holding her and she was released.
But without sign OF token she drifted away
and the brother took possession of the
property. Here the other day, at country
hotel, the housekeeper passed through the
parlor on some domestic errand-a gaunt,
harsh, grizzly woman, who looked as though
life had no charms for her-and recognized
the one-time very gay Mrs. Spieer, OF West
Eleventh street, in the poor, old, faded ser
want.

Etfq uette at Weddings :.

From the Detroit POST.
AS weddings in the English style' are all
the rage this season, it may be interesting to
mention few points regarding what is con-
sidered the correct form on the other side of
the Atlantic After the departure Of the
bride and bridegroom the party at once
breaks up; and in London it is not customary
to have any festivity in the evening. In the
evening there is often dance to amuse those
staying in the house. Neither cards nor
cake are sent, and people discover for them
selves when the young couple return from
their wedding tour, and call at their conven-
fence. When the bride appears for the first
time at dinner in any house she takes pre-
cedence of everyone, no matter how high his
rank, provided such appearance is within
three months of her marriage, after which
time she is no longer considered bride.
The custom is, however, beginning to fall
into disuse, excepting in rural districts: The
bridegroom does not obtain any precedence.
The bride often wears her wedding dress for
her first large dinners and parties; the oragen
blossoms must be removed, as they are only
permissible on the wedding day.
