JUDGE BEACH DECLINES TO ORDER THEIR BURIAL
IN A CATHOLIC CEMETERY.
Judge Beach, in the New York supreme
court yesterday, refused to interfere with
the action Of the trustees of st. Patrick's
cathedral in declining to permit the
body of old John Mcclure to be buried in
Calvary cemetery. He practically upholds
the action of the church authorities and
dismisses the complaint. He says that
the matter is not one for judicial interference,
but for appeal to the church authorities
Mcclure died while attending one of DIR.
McGlynn's anti-poyerty meetings on the
10th of February. Burial was refused him on
the ground that he had not died in the faith.

They Agreed to Die Together.

A HAZLETON DENTIST SHOOTS HIS INVALID WIFE
DEAD AND KILLS HIMSELF.
A painful sensation has been caused at
Hazleton, Pa, by the deliberate double-crime
of DR.. J. N. Nyer, an old dentist, who shot his
invalid wife and then shot himself. The death
of both was instantaneous. The deed was evil
IDENTIFY premeditated both by the doctor and
his wife. The latter was an invalid for num-
Der of years and suffered considerably from an
incurable disease. The doctor had a large
in attempts to obtain relief for his wife from
her malady. No children blessed their union.
The affection of the couple was strong. and
nothing was spared by the husband to add to
the comfort of the wife. Last winter was
spent in Florida with the hope of helping the
wife's health and repeated visits have been
made to physicians in nearly every part of the
country to secure relief for her. Last Satur-
day they returned from one of these trips, and
Mrs. Nyer had been confined to her bed since
that time. Every circumstance points to a
mutual understanding between the two that
death could only end their trouble and her
suffering. The doctor went to his Office yester-
day morning and spent few hours. He then
returned to his residence, went to his bedroom
where his wife still lay in bed. locked the door
and shot her in the head. He then took
position before a mirror and killed himself with
the same weapon
A letter was found in the doctors pocket ad-
dressed to a friend. in which he said his wife's
health and trouble with relatives had prompted
them to end their existence, and that his wife
was perfectly willing to die. Both Of the vic
tins were attendants of the English Lutheran
church, and Mrs. Nyer was prominent in
church work. They hadresided in Hazelton for
about sixteen years and had numerous friends.

ARTIST WHISTLER KICKS A BROTHER ARTIST, WHO
INsuLrED HIM, OUT OF LONDON CLUB.
Artist Stott created hubbub in the rooms
Of the Hogarth club, in London, Wednesday
night by denouncing Artist Whistler as liar
and coward. Whistler. after administering
some rather severe blows ON Stott's head, the
report says, kicked the offender out of the
room. Whistler subsequently wrote humor-
GUS letter TO the club committee. giving the
facts attending the case. Rumors of duel
between the two gentlemen have been preva-
lent, and it seems to be well understood that
Whistler IL willing to give satisfaction to Stott
that he was unfairly treated by Mr.. Whistler
when that gentleman was president Of the

A TRIO OF MILLIONAIREs.
And Yet They Looked Hopelessly and
Utterly Unhappy.

New York Correspondence of the Phila Press
A day or two ago was in Delmonico's when
the youngest Of the Astors entered and took
his luncheon. His solemnity and sadness Of
mien was striking. He kept his eyes fixed
religiously on the ground as he walked across
the cafe, selected distant and secluded table,
turned his back upon the people and ate with
an air of gentle and mournful self-abnegation
He is the heir of hundred or two of mill
lions, and is probably the most desirable part
In New York. No one seemed to know him,
and the waiter who attended to his wants was
quite careless and Indifferent. Had he known
that it was the heir of the Astors that he
was waiting upon he would probably have
jumped feet in the air with alacrity.
Before this particular Aston had finished his
luncheon his cousin, William Waldorf Aston,
also drifted in and sat down near the door. His
face had the same preternaturally grave and
solemn look. do not suppose that the ex-
minister to Italy is more than thirty-five or
thirty-six years of age, and he has magnificent
physique; but the general effect after a hasty
look at his face is that of man who has had a
stormy life and is nearing his forty-eighth or
forty ninth year. He, too, was exceedingly
simple in the matter of fare. He drank a cup
of tea with his luncheon. and when he had
finished he took an old book from the pocket Of
his overcoat and sat reading it quietly for half
an hour. Then he paid his bill, got up and
drifted out. Neither of the two Astors knew Of
the others presence. Probably the two men
together will eventually represent S200, 900 900.
l followed Mr.. Aston out of the place, and as
we stopped at the corner to allow a car to pass
he stepped hastily past me and made pro-
found bow to a man across the street. The man
nodded in return. 1t was greeting between
father and son. but it might have been the
salutation of one ambassador to another. The
portly form of the elder Aston was clad in
black. His face was as heavily scanned that
OF a tragedian. and he walked with slow and
ponderous tread. There was a heavy band of
crepe on his hat. He passed mournfully along
the street and strobe slowly up toward his house
at 9Th avenue and SD street.
There are very few families in the world
whose wealth is more substantial, solid and
ample than that of the Astors, and yet do not
think that l have ever seen three men who
looked more hopelessly and utterly unhappy
than the trio of millionaires that day. It
seemed to show with a good deal of force that
wealth does not always carry happiness with it.

their adjustment, and they are women. Work
or worry, fire or thieves, never hustle woman
into getting the parting of her wig crooked or
a single hair in an unnatural place. but a man
viii stick toupee on SO that it will show a
streak of badness between that and his hair
just for the sake Of catching a car five minutes
earlier. and then come in here and wonder why
it doesn't fit"
How do you fasten on toupees?"
With peculiar preparation like paste,
which comes in long stick and is hard until a
small piece is broken off and worked in the
fingers like putty. Three or four of these
pieces Will fasten toupee on SO blizzard
can't blow ii off, but it loOsens easily with the
fingers when We wish to remove it."
What Is the most expensive wig made?"
"A pure white ventilated wig costs $40 or
$50, and plain weft wig in a color comes as
low as SIS. Toupees run from 80 to sis. OF
course. ladies' wigs are more expensive, some
times going as high as 800, according to the
length and color of the hair. But very few
iadies wear wigs, for there are SO many little
devices by which women conceal their lack Of
hair; and they are cunning enough in the ar
rangement OF the few tresses they have to
make the most of them"
men?''
There's very little difference. Thew are
both hard to please at first. They are accus-
toned to seeing little or no hair and ANYTHING
we can make looks unnatural. Old wig wear.
ers have their particular hobbies, but they are
easily satisfied. One of my customers wears
toupee that weighs four ounces, one-quarter of
pound, you see, when a whole wig only
weighs an ounce and quarter. That's be
cause he wore it years ago. when thew made
wigs like door mats, because they didn't know
any better. There's one advantage that wig
makers have. and that is they keep their Gus,
toners. man that puts on a wig can never
take it Of. He would as soon think of dressing
himself without his coat as without his wig,
and he would feel as strange without it az
other men would feel in the street without any
hat. 1t looks easy to make wig, but it ISN'T,
and not every man can make them. Wig
makers are born, not made, just like artists in
other professions"

\ Newsy letter from Our Ohio Ne.ghbor-
The Ci'y's Heslth-Glrls on the Streets.
Our Board of Health needs to get itself
together and hustle up the health officer
or elect a new one. That his work has
not been well done 70 one will deny, and
that there is now need Of active meas
ures no one conyersant with the facts will
dispute. The town, while not actually
suffering from visit of epidemic, is so
well filed with zymoGc diseases as to
cause general alarm. There ia now more
typhoid fever and diphtheria in the town
than at any time in sevsral years. This
stste Of affairs arises from the impure con-
dition of our town and the FACT that there
has been no general cleaning up this sum-
mer. Very few people took any
notice Of the rules Of the Board OF
Eeelth posted few weeks ago, and
the city from one end to the other is filed
with decayirg vegetable and animal mat
ter. There sre hsh a dozen or so cutters
in the town that, instead of draining the
stsgusnt water and filth from their locali-
ties, form receptacle wherein the filth
rOts and ferments. All cases of 6iphtheris
should Be isolated by the Board Of Health
aud not be allowed to come in contact
with other people any mora than 10 reces-
sary. A few years ago our town suffered
from diphtheria epidemic, and many
families still mourn the loss of children bv
the dreaded plsgue. One Cf our prominent
physicians, il speaking of the matter yes
terday, stated that diphtheria is getting a
irm hold in the community, and that u1-
