He Has with Him . Sum Which Was to
Be Paid to the Widow of a Member
Continuation of the Bowling Tourna-
ment-Hoboken Briefs.
Mrs. Hemser called at the Hoboken
Police Station yesterday evening and
reported to Sergeant Rathjen that her
husband, H. Hemser, of No. ia Grand
street, had been missing for two days.
On Wednesday Hemser, who keeps a
grocery store, received from New York
goods amounting in value to about
$500. Shortly after that he closed up
the store and went out. He has not
been seen thereabouts since.
He has for some time been the treas
urer of the Hoboken Branch of Lady
Lincoln Lodge, X. and L. of H., and
in his official position handled all the
cash of the lodge. On Wednesday
evening he was ordered to be
present to hand yer a sum
of money to Mrs ~Schraeder, the
widow of Charles Schraeder, who died
suddenly at the ferry about a month
ago. She lived at No. 149 Bloomfield
street. The amount she is entitled to
on the death of her husband is $1,000,
but as she was slightly pinched for
means, she wanted. 5000 on account. 1t
was with this money that Treasurer
Hemser ought to have been present.
Mrs. Schroeder was at the meeting,
but there was no money, and no treas
urer. What had become OF Hemser?
was anxiously asked by his fellow
club members. Enquiries were at
once instituted. Yesterday morning
some of the members of the lodge
called or their treasurer's wife, at her
residence on Grand street. In reply
to their questions she said that her
husband had gone out on Wednesday
afternoon, and had not since returned.
She did not seem at all anxious, and
the delegation thought it was a COM
mon thing, perhaps, for him to go off
for a day or two without leaving any
word.
Last night when Mrs. Hemser no.
titled Sergeant Rathjen of her hus-
bands disappearance the Sergeant,
who is a member of the lodge, became
suspicious. Mrs. Hemser thought he
might have been killed for the money
in his possession.
His bondsmen, Henry REIN, of No.
95 Bloomfield street, and John Keel
lisch, of No. 1873 Washington street,
were notified, and will have the 5000
ready for Mrs. Schraeder at the next
meeting. In the meantime the books
of the lodge will be thoroughly over
hauled and examined. There was a
IN that Hemser was the man who
jumped from the Pennsylvania Rail
road ferryboat Princeton, as the de-
scriptions entirely tally. Mrs. Hem
ser is much upset and is very indig-
nant at the suspicion against her hus-
band

"Tum Turn's'. Travelling Car.

The saloon car in which the Princess of Wales and Prince Albert Victor trav- eled to Copenhagen. in order to be pres ent at the jubilee of the king of Den mark. gave the Danish railway officials much trouble on account of it's great length. AS very few no doubt have seen the Prince of Wales continental car we may mention that its exterior is far from attractive, being plainly painted red and white. without ornaments of any kind. The interior is. however, most comfort ably and elegantly furnished. It con- tains dining. a drawing room, two bed rooms, with two beds in each, and ac- commodation for the servants at one end of the car Nothing is wanting to add to the comfort of the royal travellers. The car travels on six bogie wheels, and it is fitted with an ingenious arrange ment of springs, preventing all noise and shaking. It is heated by coke stoves.- London Life.

A Widows strategy.

A man of considerable wealth, who died in this city some time since made a distribution of his personal estate which did not suit his disconsolate widow Among other unsatisfactory things. he bequeathed the proceeds of certain land and stocks of value to 2 brother. while he left to the widow the proceeds of other stocks and lands comparatively valueless. as portion of her legacy But the widow was sole executrix of the will and when she came to sell she disposed of the land and stocks in lump. setting high valu- ation on those of which she was to have the proceeds and low valuation on the others, the valuation of the two lots taken together making fair price for the whole. By this means she exactly re- versed that portion of her husbands will relating to the land and stocks in question
 The brother. not relishing such sharp practice on the part of his sister in law, brought q suit to recover the actual value of the bequest made to him. whereupon the widow proposed that instead of spend ing the estate in law they should marry each other and enjoy it together. This proposition ''struck responsive chord" in the breast of the brother They were married accordingly, and are said to be having jolly time in spending the for tune which the deceased gentleman was so kind as to accumulate for them.

More Mexican Ruins.

An interesting antiquity has recently been discovered at Palenque, in the Chiapas district of Mexico. The monu- ment is situated upon the river Xhupa. Although it is now complete ruin, was originally a structure of considerable height, as three distinct stories are still distinguishable. The ground floor is very large, measuring some 120 feet by 75 feet Tho floor above is attained through holes in the ceiling or vault, and here room is found measuring some 27 by feet. The openings referred to are natural and havo been formed by the disintegration of the stone and the sinking in of the roof. On stone slabs set into the wall arc bass reliefs of human figures, war riors, etc. Although these stones are in a very bad state of preservation they are to be sent to the capital of Chiapas. Near this ruin are row of houses forming a street, and not far from these the vestiges of quite large town, all of course in a state of complete ruin. n.-Scientifc Amer ican.

Simplicity of tho English I.apguage.

The great advantage claimed by Dr. A. Melville Bell for English as the uni versal language is the simplicity of its grammar, which makes English immeas- u-ably superior to every form of artificial language as we'll as to other national tongues. Tho various moods and lenses, declensions and conjugations which bur den other grammars have practically no existence for us. Dr. Bell advocates fur ther simplification, however, by remov- ing grammatical irregularities-using 'childs" instead of children" ""gooder' instead of "better," etc.-adopting a more orderly spelling. and improving the alphabet so as to give a letter for each sound.-New York Telegram.

A, Strange Mark,

James Rothermel, who lives ill Fayette county, this state, has a strange birth mark which makes him an object of su- perstitious regard among his neighbors According to correspondent of The Pittsburg Post on the back of Rothermel's head, just below and little to the right of the base of the brain, is a small ex- crescence, bluish ill color and crescent shaped. The moment the moon begins to turn the first quarter of her pole the mark begins to undergo startling change. Its bluish color turns to bril- liant red, and the flesh below it and ex- tending diagonally across his neck to the left shoulder begins to swell As the moon grows older the birth mark gets redder and redder, and the flesh swells more and more, until, when the moon has reached its "full," the crescent shaped mark is of fiery scarlet, and the flesh extending from the mark to the left shoulder has swollen into a horn like roll, two or three inches in thickness at the largest point, and gradually tapering to a point near the left shoulder.
 As the moon gradually begins to wane, in like manner the scarlet of the crescent shaped mark becomes less fiery, the horn like roll across the neck to decrease in size, until when the moon is dark again there is nothing to be seen but the small bluish crescent shaped mark For over twenty-eight years these changes have followed monthly with the moons phases; and so marked are they and so regular that Rothermel can tell by sim ply placing his hand on the back of his neck exactly what stage the moon is in Philadelphia American.

A Fair Professor of Whist.

It seems that coaching club members ambitious of high standing at the whist table has proved a very lucrative em- ployment for q clever girl here in New Orleans. Having been since childhood her fathers favorite partner in the game, she learned to play with dexterity that is classed as science by enthusiastic stu dents of Hoyle. Since fashion has set towards whist as the approved game in cards, this young lady's services have been much sought after, and she is paid a very handsome sum for giving instruc- tion to the several whist classes now formed. The last few months her in- come from this source alone has reached S125 per .month.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
