A greater tragedy than that of abandon
ment or loss of a lover is displayed in the
case of pretty Katie Hart, a 1e-year-old
soubrette who had gained some fame on
the stage. One afternoon not long ago
she visited without demur a minor hotel
in New York city, accompanied by the prize
fighter Jack McAuliffe. The couple went
to a room. When Katie left ii q few hours
later it was as a corpse. For a while dark
suspicious of murder prevailed. but an
autopsy showed that she had died of heart
disease.
The pugilist promptly asserted that she
was his wife and that they had been mar

poor girl received all mortusry honors. and

showed love for historical investiga-

as professor of history in Hobart col
lege. In 1868 the general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church appoint
ed him historiographer, and from that
date to this he has been prolific in the
production of historical works which
are standard authorities. He has edited

It is sad to think, however, that in the
romances of real life the part often played
by women is a tragic one. Perhaps it is

At any rate, here are the records of some

sufferer has been woman.
One day in the latter part Of September,
Richard L. Mabrey, of Doniphan, Mo-, reg
istered at Hurst's hotel in st. Louis. He
was engaged to Miss Effie Morgan, of
Rolla No, and his visit to the city by the
big bridge was for the purpose of securing
a fashionably made dress suit in which to
be married.
The wedding was to have taken place on
Wednesday. The night before Mabrey
received box containing his suit, entered
the elevator and went to his room. When
he closed the door to his apartment he
passed from view of all who knew him.
No one saw him leave the hotel, but the
next day he was missing. He didn't ap-
pear at Rolla, he didn't reach home and no
trace of his whereabouts could be obtained.
Large rewards were offered, and the police
went to work.
Various were the suggestions of the de-
tectives. Accustomed to regard most men
as fools or knaves, they got up theories

To this end she had him discharge the

Bill blows the bellows, handles the iron,

into shape under his direction. The thrifty
couple have story and half shop oppo-

Indecent theatrical Posters.

Paterson, y. j., desires the reputation of
strictly moral town. The mayor recently
directed the chief of police TO tear down or
deface all theatrical posters of an indecent
character. This action was brought about
by the Indignation expressed by many of
the leading citizens, including a number of
ministers. Rev. Dean McNulty, of St.
Johns Catholic church. was one of the
first to begin the crusade. He preached a
sermon IN which he bitterly denounced the
Objectionable theatrical posters as being an
insult to respectable citizens and likely to
corrupt the youthful mind.
