HANGING To A BED POST.
A WOman's Startling Suicide-A Rash
Act Due to Insanity.

ooh, my God, mothers deadr' This cry Of
grief came from the bps of Miss Minnie Wetzea
when she returned home yesterday afternoon
from the government printing Office and found
the body of her mother Suspended from the
bed post. Her mother was Mrs. Mary Hupfer
and her home was at No. 406 street Dorth-
west. She had been complaining and at times
she acted as though her mind was affected.
DIR. Adams had attended her and he was satisfied
beyond a doubt that the sick woman was losing
her mind. Mrs. Hupfef had pleasant home
and her daughter did all she could to make her
cheerful, but her efforts were in vain.
The young woman went to work yesterday
morning as usual, leaving her mother at home.
She carried her lunch with her and did not re-
turn home at the noon hour ON account Of the
long distance between the Office and her home.
When Office hours were over Miss Wetzei put
on her wraps and went home. Failing to meet
her mother down stairs, as was her custom, the
young woman suspected something wrong.
Going up stairs she was shocked by discover
ing the body of her mother suspended from
the bed post. She had used wide piece of
ribbon which had been worn a. q sash for q
dress to hang herself with. Miss Wetzel ran
out of the house screaming. She went to the
house Of a neighbor and fell to the porch from
weakness.
oh, God, my mothers dead!' she cried.
MI. clarence Kellogg proceeded 70 the mouse
and went up to the second story. He looked
about the room for moment but saw nothing
unusual. Then he walked around the bed and
saw Mrs. Hupfer's body hanging to the bed
post. Taking out his knife the young man
severed the piece Of silk ribbon and gently
placed the body on the bed. He felt her head
and found that it was still warm. Then he put
his ear over the heart This satisfied him that
Mrs. Hupfer was dead, but Mr.. Kellogg went
for DR.. Adams, who had attended Mrs. Hupfer.
There was no need, however, for the physicians
services Death was no doubt caused by
strangulation. The dead woman when found
was hanging SO near the floor that her
knees nearly touched the carpet. DR.. Adams
was willing to give q certificate Of death from
suicide, the result of an unsound mind, but as
it was a case for the coroner's action the act

SWOONED BEFORE THE BURGLAR
Miss Seniors Brother Appears with q
Revolver and the Invader FIeea

Miss Lillian Senior, a welI-known society
belle Of Bloomfield, NJ, received q very un-
pleasant surprise by a visit from burglar
early yesterday morning. Miss Senior was
asleep in her room on the second story of the
house when she was Awakened by q noise. Rails
ing herself on one arm she discovered burglar
with lighted candle in one hand rummaging
through her bureau drawer. she at once
screamed, whereupon the burglar rushed at
her with a large knife and threatened to kill
her If she gave any further alarm. Nearly
frightened to death Miss Senior swooned on
her couch, but her brother, who was sleep-
ing in an adjoining room, was aroused by her
cry and, rushing to her room, revolver in hand.
gave the burglar surprise. The latter, seeing
the revolver, made a dash through the win.
dow. carrying sash and all with him. and fell
into the yard below. Senior fred at him as he
went through the window, but did not hit him,
He then rushed down stairs, expecting 10 f;nJ

strange to say, the thief must have escaped nm
injured, a. no trace of him could be found. All
he got was q small amount Of iewslry

CITY AND DISTRICT.

q The local circulation OF TIE EVENING
STAR is not only the largest and fullest, but it is
also the BEST, since the paper goes not alone
into the hands of the people of the District Of
Columbia as body, but regularly into their
hon'es,-into the families OF all classes, and
into those of the money-spending as well as
the money-earning portion of the community.
An advertisement in its columns therefore
reaches the eye of everybody worth reaching.

Whipped by u Woman.

Evan Adams Of PieAsantville. Nj, who has
been widower, for the last seven years
brought home with him Tuesday night from
Philadelphia his one hundred and twenty-Aftt
house keeper, a pretty little southern woman
Yesterday morning she created quite dis.
turbance by first breaking all the windows In
the house and giving Adams q severe beating
finally compelling him TO seek safety in the
top branches of an oak tree. When asked why
she had done this she said that during the
night Adams had made an assault upon her
and when she asked him for money to pay her
yesterday afternoon, but vowed vengeance
against Adams, saying she would return and
get even with the man who had taken liberties
with her

ABROAD IN HER NIGHT ROBE.
Marian Stanwood Makes q Second Noe
turnal Ramble in New York.

Marian Stanwood, the opera singer who
walked in her night dress at a. m all the way
from her boarding house in Great Jones street
to the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, a few
nights ago, without encountering policeman
until one woke her up at the hotel, tried to re-
peat her performance yesterday morning, but
found the police very wide awake. She had
not strayed two hundred feet from her own
door before she was in the grasp of no less
than four policemen, all Of whom had missed
her on her last trip and were not to be caught
mapping again. II Miss Stanwood was asleep
her sleep was the soundest ON record. She
battled with her captors for twenty minutes in
prowess as q fighter and afterward claimed
that ii was all blank to her. Policeman
James o Brien was the first to see her tripping
past engine house SO. She was bare-footed
bare-headed and attired only in her white
night gown. IL she was asleep she had the
power of seeing, for she no sooner set eyes on
the policeman running toward her than she
fe like deer toward Broadway, trying to es.
cape. The policeman followed, but, unable to
overtake her, raped for assistance. Three
policemen responded, rushing up from three
corners, and the sleep walker was caught
She squirmed, jerked her body back an
forth, struggled and struck out wildly, but said
not word and the four had their hands full
even to hold her. There was nothing to do Blu,
to carry her to the station house in Mercer
street, and they did it. 1t was a quarter Of an
hour before the prisoner suddenly came to and
discovered where she was. By that time the
sergeant had sent for an ambulance, and the
surgeon confirmed his suspicion that the woman
was not right in her head. He wanted to take
her to the hospital, but she would not 60. By
his advice, therefore, the sergeant locked her
up as an insane prisoner. She afterward told
the sergeant that once before in Boston she
had been charged with insanity, but that she
was not mad, only sleep-waIker. The woman
was subsequently arraigned in Je fferson Mar
kst police court, where, though she insisted
that she was only a sleep-walker, she was held
for examination az to her sanity.

the richest man in Adams County, an absolute
divorce yesterday from her husband, Rev. VIM.

yordy was student at the Lutheran theo-
logical seminary in Gettysburg The respond

Couldn't Drive Him Out.

A well-known republican politician was lately
very much agarieved by the appointment Of a
postmaster. OF the three candidates he was
very anxious TO have No. appointed He had
no objections to No. 2, except that he preferred
the other man; No. he was utterly opposed
to. He did all he could for No. 1; put in a
few pleasant words for No. q exposed No. in
his true Light, and No. was appointed. The
disappointed politician said Ii was pretty
tough on him and might cost him his re-elec-
ton, but he was still republican; he could
not be driven out Of his party, even II he were
retired TO private life. he was like man who
wAs expelled rom chrrsn fos diasrsnt kinds Of
foIlowinR Sunday he went to church and.
standing IN the doorway, he howled out at the
congregation:

Hendrika went of with q somewhat
| ugly grin to do her mistress bidding
and Stella led the way through the mar
row gateway in the marble wall, which
may have inclosed nearly half an ''erf. -
or three-quarters of an acre of ground In
all. 1t was beautifully planted as gar.
den, many European vegetables and
| flowers were growing in 1t, besides 9TH
ers with which 1 was not acquainted.
Presently we came to the center hut,
and 1t was then that / noticed the extra
ordinary beauty and finish of the mar.
BILE masonry. In the hut, and facing the
gateway, was a modern door, rather
rudely fashioned of Bucken pont, a
beautiful reddish wood that has the ap-
pearanee of having been sedulously
pricked with pin. Stella opened it, and
we entered. The interior Of the hut was
the size of large and lofty room, the
walls being formed of plain polished
marble. 1t was lighted somewhat dim
ly, but quite effectively, by peculiar
openings in the roof, from which the
rain was excluded by overhanging caves.
The marble floor was strewn with ma
tive mats and skins of animals. Book
cases filled with books were placed
against the walls, there was table in
the center, chairs seated with rimpi or
strips of hide stood about, and beyond
the table was couch on which a man
was lying reading.
SIS that you, Stella?' said o voice
that even after so many years seemed
familiar to me. "Where have you been
my dear? began to think that you had
lost yourself again" . 81.
"No, father, dear, have not lost my
self, but have found somebody else"
AT that moment 1 stepped forward so
that the light fell on me. The old gem
tleman on the couch rose with some diff
ficulty and bowed with much courtesy
He was fine-looking old man, with
deep-set dark eyes, pale face that bore
many traces of physical and mental suf-
fering, and long white beard. az
"Be welcome, SIR" he said. "It Is
long since we have seen a white face in
these wilds, and yours, If am not mis-
taken, is that of an Englishman. There
has been no Englishman here for ten
years, and he, 1 grieve to say, was an
outcast flying from Justice" and he
bowed again and stretched out his hand.
looked at him, and tLen of sudden
his name flashed back into my mind. I
took his hand.
How do you do, Mr.. Carson?' I said.
He started back as though he had
been stung. -.
"Who told you that name?" he cried.
cit is a dead name. Stella, is it you?
I forbade you to let it pass your lips"
81 did not speak it. father. have
never spoken it," she answered.
Sir" broke in, 'if you will allow
me will show you how 1 came to know
