Matthew Arnold's DUNN.

1t is not so SURPRISING that Matthew
Arnold should have made an attempt to
jump the low fence which he came upon
in the course of the walk he took on
the day before his death, when it is re.
membered that he was at Rugby at a
time when the high jump was cult
waited more, perhaps, than any other
athletic exercise. 1t is written in the
annals of Oxford, too, how on certain
Sunday afternoon. some forty years ago
or so, soon after young Mr. Arnold
had been elected a fellow of Oriel.
he cleared the Well-known spiked rail-
ings in front of Wadham college. The
actual height of these ratings is five
feet six inches, and the fact that Ar
mold jumped them from the college side
and alighted on the flagstones of the
street pavement is considered to add to
the merits of the feat. In his Rugby
days Arnold cleared atleast two inches
more than this. though he was never
able to clear ''DiXon'S Gate,'' on the
Barley road, jump which the late Mr.
Dixon, so well-known later on as a
sporting writer over the signature of
"Druid," was alone able to effect.

STILL A MYSTERY,
But the Suicide Theory Is Plainly
.Untenable.

But the Suicide Theory Is Plainly
.Untenable.
The theory that G.. F. Schoenert died
by his own hand is utterly rejected by
his family and friends. The grief of the
widow is intensified by the newspaper
conclusions that it must have been sui
eide, and she is firmly of the belief that
her husband was murdered. There is an
admirable opportunity for the detective
force to distinguish itself in working up
this case and throwing light upon what
is now an unfathOmable mystery. G. c.
Dunn, who had charge of the financial
affairs of Schoenert, made a thorough
investigation of the premises. and is
confident the affair was a murder. The
fact that the revolver was found
in spot where Schoenert could not
have thrown it, coupled with the
fact that his still burning cigas
was found close by his head, after he
fell, are held to proof conclusive that
he did not shoot himself. NIr. Dunn be-
IleveS that he was shot by mistake; that
he heard some one in the alley and went
to see who was there, receiving the
fatal wound. Or, it may be that he sur
prlsed a burglar, who shot him to
prevent recognition and arrest. Ger
tain it is that the suicide theory
was not sustained and his family is war
ranted, in the light of the facts, in
doubling it. The truth may come out
some day, or the case may go down with
other murders, without one ray of light
upon it. Old man Gensler, IN urdered
i'll restaurant last year, died without
telling of his assailant, and the muir
derer probably now walks the streets
with pefect impunity.

others was that they claimed to be
paying 81 per week for board,
while others economical and lived
on 50 per week. The girls who did not
get any help. either did not need it or
else did not want it. The strike was
not oyer yet. but all the strikers except
Mrs. England, herself and few others
had got work again. She could not give
the exact number of the idle strikers,
but she said there might be dozen.
He goes on to cite several cases he
claims to have personal knowledge of
In which girls were forced to go back
to the firm because they did not
receive aid. Miss Louisa Smith, living
at 422 Aldrich avenue, was out three
weeks. She has a sick father, and was
obliged to return to work. Miss Pauline
Sunderland, living at 521 Cedar avenue,
was with the strikers five weeks, and
went back. If she had received
but 81 week she would have been cut.
Miss Carrie Forden and Miss Julia Roen,
at 1900 Washington avenue south, Miss
Susie Hamrey at 734 Twenty
second avenue south, Miss Fauske,
at 706 Sixth avenue south are similar
instances he alludes to. The commit
tee will probably have something to say
in reply to Mr.. TipgwOld's charges.

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
Every Indication That 1t Will Be

Monday, June II, met at Catholic Asso-

Irish-American club are making strenu-
Gus efforts to defeat each other in the
contest for the magnificent Irish flag
purchased by Father McGolrick in New
York previous to his embarkation for
Europe. The various Crusader socie-
ties are actively at work to win
the banner offered to the most
popular society. The ladies of the
Academy of the Holy Angels are solicit
ing chances on the cow donated by
Albee Smith. The gentlemen having
in charge the disposition of tickets for
the $500 in gold offered by Archbishop
Ireland, report that they are do
ing better than they anticipated
Two other prizes have been offered
by the management, namely, diamond
set for the most popular young lady,
and parlor set for the most popular
hOusekeeper. There is every indica-
ton that the fair will meet the most

chase her furniture. She said she would
sell it for $3.50. Emmings pulled out a
big roll of bills, counted out $3.50 and
placed it in Mrs. Galliher's hands after
she had given him bill of sale. After
Mrs. Galliher had counted the money
Emmings asked her to let him take it
again as he wanted to recount it. She
did so and now declares that it was $40

Senator "Cush'' Davis. of Minnesota,
is big, handsome man, and he made
quite an impression on New Workers
during the day or two he has been in
town. He is nothing like old enough or
big enough to be mistaken for Ben But

interesting mark of distinction from the
common herd of big, handsome men who
are constantly to be seen in this town.
Senators Davis is already well known

speaker, and as the husband of one of

to be even more beautiful. Mr.. Davis

c. A. Tingwold Makes Some
Further and More Explicit
Charges.
The striking machine girls held
another meeting yesterday after
noon, at which the committee in
charge of the distribution of
funds made a full report. The
Seventy-five girls present were asked
if they had any fault to find or criticism
to make concerning the manner in
which the committee had done its
work, but only negative an
swerS were returned. 1t was eX-
pected that Christian A. Tingwold,
who has attacked the committee rather
savagely through the papers, would be
present, but he did not show up. He
has, however, furnished a statement of
the result of his investigations for pub
lication, and, among other things, says
he believes the committee has not treated
all the strikers alike, and that partiality
has been shown IN certain cases. Had
all received aid and been treated cor
daily, none would have gone back to
work; as it is, ShotwelI, Clerihew d
Lothman have all the help they need.
He thinks the strike is a failure, and
that it Is principally due to this cause.
He says:
Il called yesterday morning on Miss
Rooney, the president. After having
told her what my errand was, and that
L was also going to see a number of the
girls that had complained, she began to
SANDER these sister strikers in the most
shameful manner. She said it was no use
for me to see any of them, as they were
all big liars who could not be
believed under oath. They had no char
acter. no principle and no nothing, and
should be called scabs from now till
dooms-day.' Mrs. England, the secre-
tary, had now arrived, and she perfectly
agreed with Miss Rooney. After this
TRADE of abuse was over, l succeeded in
eliciting some sober statements. She
said she had 1SS names on her book. OF
this number she had shared the money
with 135. Very few of the girls be-
longed to any labor union, probably less
than twenty-tour. The reason some
girls had got so much more money than
