JOHN AND MARY KRAMER.
wise king that jealousy is stronger than
death and more cruel than the grave, and
illustrations of It's truth multiply daily.
Apparently this is the age Of "murderous
love-" Every day one reads of rejected
lovers Staying women or suspecting hus.
bands staying wife OF friend and Of both
staying themselves, and John Kramer, of
East Twelfth street, New York, is the last
most tragic instance.
His wife was pretty woman of twenty
seven years, he was a brawny and not at
all attractive German Of forty-seven; he
shot her and hanged himself. Such are the
main points. But there are curious side
details. Mary link was indeed a pretty
south German girl of twenty-three when
she landed in New York and went 70 work
as a domestic. On Feb. 20, 1885, she was
married to Kramer, six foot Bavarian,
weighing over 200 pounds. A few days
later he suddenly departed, going to De-
troit, as it soon appeared.
A little later Mary learned that his name
was John Koppler, not Kramer. Later
still that he had eleven years before mar
ried another woman. And, lastly, that he
had met this other woman soon after his
second marriage, patched up peace with
her and taken her to Detroit. Pretty soon
John returned and she forgave him. Then
he went away again, and so for three years
he vibrated between the two women. Then
Mary got desperate and went away from
New York to work in a restaurant, after
which Kramer got wildly In love with her
and crazy with jealousy of a man who be-
friended her.
It seems that Mary's love for him had
worn out at last; she determined to go with
the other man and went to her old home
for her trunk and clothing. AS she stood
over the trunk, packing 1t, Kramer came
up behind her and fired three shots into
her face and head. There was a dreadful
struggle and the woman was dragged out
of his grasp. Kramer then fired at his own
head, but inflicted a slight hurt. He
jumped into the cistern, but the water was
too shallow to drown him. He then fas-
tened q rope in the dumb waiter shaft,
slipped the moose around his neck, swung
of, and there the police found him corpse.

The Lair OF Indiana Horse Thieves.

1t reads like tale of the early days OF
pioneer life-the announcement in the In
dianapolis Journal that a secret cave, the
rendezvous of gang of horse thieves, has
been discovered not far from Valparaiso,
Ind "The cave is reached after a long
climb to the top OF the hill, the crest Of
which is densely covered with FIR trees.
Here secret entrance admits horse and
rider to an underground passage which
runs into the hill nearly forty rods 1t
was found that rude stalls had been con-
structed, there being space enough for
quartering twenty or more horses. Several
little rooms, roughly furnished, were util
lied as hiding places of the thieves. The
sand, which covered all tracks Of man and
beast, has always prevented the successful
tracking of the gang, but the discovery Of
this rendezvous has probably cut short the
operations of the most daring gang of
thieves in northern Indiana"

Fooled with the Marriage Ceremony.

This getting married for fun" is good
deal like fooling with a gun that isn't
thought to be loaded. Generally the fun
turns out to be serious and the frearm
kills somebody. A matrimonial case In
point is furnished by South Carolina. 1t
seems that Miss Nellie Sitgreaves, Of Wins
boro, spent some time last August with
her aunt at Catawba Junction. Among
the young men she met was John Steele,
OF Rockhill. the railroad agent. One day
Miss Sitgreaves was at the depot when a
train arrived and Reese Massey, an ac-
quaintance, got off the train. Mr.. Steele
laughingly asked him to marry Miss Sit
greaves and himself. Mr.. Massey con-
sented, and in the presence of several wit
nesses pronounced them man and wife.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Steele was mar
ried to Miss Williams, of Rockhill, and it
now turns out that Mr.. Massey was a
notary public, and the marriage with Miss
Sitgreaves was legal. The matter will
come up at the next term Of York court,
and an effort will be made to have the
marriage between Steele and Miss Sit
greaves annulled.

why They stopped.

Harry and Bobby were brothers eight
and nine years of age. Coming late from
school one day, their mother said:
"Why are you late, boys?"
Bobby, the younger, was usually the
spokesman on such occasions, and he an.
swered:
"We stopped"
"What did you stop for?" said mamma.
"To see two boys fghtin."
"Indeedl and who were the boys?"
"Harry was one."
"Ah, indeed! and who was the other?"
"The other was me-" answered the
unabashed Bobby.-Yankee Blade.

But that the dread of something after death,

No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than lily to others that we know not Of
In these heartsearching lines did the
great master Of human emotion sum up
the whole philosophy of suicide. Yet in
spite of all that religious teachers tell us
of the dread unknown, multitudes every
year rush madly out Of existence, and the
sad paradox is presented that as civiliza.

more worth living, the number who
throw it away rapidly increases. In the
most palmy state Of Rome self inflicted
death was the common way, and in mod

the poor and obscure, but in the great
cities where life is most active.

with one Sydney Bell, more daring Grim
ipal, and on the night of Aug. H. 1890, this
Bell murdered Mr.. Samuel jacobson and
the trial made Schmidt famous.
He testified for the prosecution, but re-
tracted his testimony when he found 1t
would not help his own case. There was
about him not one redeeming trait-not
even that of honor amorg thieves-yet the
thought will arise, If that poor and de-

The renown Of all the heroes and sages, all
the scholars and philosophers would sink
into insignifcance beside that of this man
who could tell us the actual facts Of that
state into which he plunged.
From this baseborn thief and self con-
fessed perturer il Is positive relief to turn
to the grave Of Heloise Leroux, the honest
French girl who killed herself in New
York in the orthordox French way by
asphyxiation, for the old standard reason
OF unrequited love. She was no longer

When he received a sentence of fifteen
years in San Quentin for burglary he de-
family stated that he would not serve a

the prison. The warden noticed that he
"walked unsteadily" and told him to lie

the officials that he was, as they thought,
dying, but little attention was paid to
them. Next morning they found their
