but let the puppy go. Wen do
what we can for the poor girl by
recommending her."
A few days after, Ada came home
in state of high excitement
"Who do you think met just now,"
she said, walking on Chestnut
streetF' Her husband said he did
not know.
MIR Morton and Miss Bury;
I'm sure it will be a match; she was,
looking down and blushing; and he
was talking as if his whole soul was
in every word"
Her husband shook his head. at
is rarely, my DEAR" he said, "that
a rich and distinguished man, like
Mr.. Morton, marries poor music
teacher. The best thing for Miss
Bury is, that she never see him
again"
Ada's cOuntenance fell. She had
the most implicit faith in her hus-
bands opinion. But soon her faith
in her favorite contemporary poet
returned, and she did battle, warm
heartedly, in his behalf.
"Well," said her husband, at last,
''you may be right. Perhaps, after
all" and he smiled archly, "you
haven't a monopoly of disinterest-
edness. | called Mr.. Morton a pup
Ply, the other day; but / have since
heard he is a man of sense, as hon
est as steel, and even noble-hearted.
However, it is easy to test him. You
know Miss Bury. Ask her here to
tea, some evening. IF Mr.. Morton
is serious, he will be glad to meet
her, for meantime I'll seek his ac-
quaintance, and ask him to come to
the same evening"
"Capital!' cried Ada, clapping
her hands. 1--WE an idea that Mr..
Morton only sees her in the street,
for she's too proud to ask him to
the humble place where she lodges.
Yet, depend upon it, she don't en-
courage him, much as she really
loves HIM"
Ada was right. The little tea
party of four came off, and was
followed by many more. Mrs.
Morton, (for Miss Bury is now a
bride, and Ada are fast friends; so
also are the two husbands; and
their friendship will be lifelong,
for it is founded on culture, intel
lect, and similar noble and elevated
views.
Of course, the marriage made a
great talk, for merely conventional
people could not understand it.
They were not up to the standard
which made the lover think his for
tune and fame nothing, when
weighed against the virtues of his
bride, and which made the latter
conquer her pride, through the sin
certify of her love, and accept one
whom half the world said she mar
ried only for his money.
In this half is Clara, who still
while doing homage to the rich and
powerful Mrs. Morton, privately
calls her "that mercenary, stuck-up
thing" who, "but yesterday, was
only my music teacher"

pardon for having overheard the
music, and asked Clara if it was she
or one of her fair companions whom
he must thank for the pleasure he
had been afforded. Ada, plying
Miss Bury, had gone to talk to her,
and then, as Mr.. Morton Joined
them, said, "Miss Bury, Mr.. Nor
ton; Mr.. Morton Miss Bury" and
so, in the most natural manner, and
in spite of Clara, the introduction
took place.
At first Miss Bury was embarrass-
ed, the whole thing was so unex-
pected. But Mr.. Morton soon put
her at her ease, in his skilful way.
Clara gradually fell into a mere
listener, as the subject discussed
rose above her reach; she sat, de-
voured with rage, at what she term
ed secretly the "impudence of that
creature" Ada wondered and adj
mired, and thought that, in all her
life she had never seen two beings
better suited for each other. Miss
Bury, always engaging in appear
ance, was really brilliant; while
Mr.. Morton was as eloquent as in
his most impassioned poems.
Mr.. Morton was the first to de-
tect the suppressed rage of Clara.
She'll visit it on this innocent
girl" he said to himself, land real
ly, | have been rude in neglecting
her. So, on the instant, he add
dressed a remark to Clara, which
brought her again into CONVERSE
ton; and after few moments, de-
voted principally to her, courteous
ly took his leave.
But his efforts to save Miss Bury
proved fruitless. When Ada went
home, she told her husband that,
Miss Neal had discharged her
music teacher. And only to think, }"
she added, lit was, I verify believe,
because Mr.. Morton met her there
to-day, and talked more with her
than with Clara. | never saw a
more despairing look than Miss
Bury had, when Clara told her, af-
ter Mr.. Morton left, that she might
go, and that she need not come
again. | don't think the poor girl
has many scholars, and Clara's i'll
will can do her great harm. IF
she wasn't my COUSIN" said the
warm-hearted little woman, 81
would never go to see her again"
"Mr. Norton" replied her hus-
band, SHOULD have known better.
He is sufficiently a man of the world,
to be aware that he would give NOR
tai offense to a fashionable, haugh-
ty, cold-hearted creature, like Clara
Neal, by preferring a music teachers
conversation to her own. But a
man, made much of by society, lit
tie thinks what harm he does, pro-
vided he gratifies his vanity" The
speaker did not know Mr.. Morton,
and as a lawyer, had an instintive
dislike to poets.
81 think you are unjust to Mr..
Morton, my DEAR" said his wife,
stoutly. "I'm sure, he little dream
ed that Clara would turn Miss Bury
off"
"He ought to have thought of it,
though, and that's another reason
why | blame him." said the husband.

"Morton's capital fellow" said
her brother, in his easy free way,
divining her thoughts, "but you're
not good enough for him. He's
struck by your beauty, sis, for you
are snowy girl; and for your sake,
l hope you'll get him. But he'd
lead a deuce of a life, with such a
fashionable good-for-nothing, un-
less love brings you to your senses,
and you settle down into quiet,
domestic companion"
The only answer of Clara was a
sneer at her somewhat bookish
brothers ignorance of the world, in
supposing that women in her posi-
ton, ever married for love, or ex-
pected to sink into domestic wives;
and, with this sneer on her lips, she

The next day at one o'clock, came
Miss Bury, and soon after, Ada.
Mr.. Morton was in the library; he
had dropped in" as he phrased it,
ito chat quietly half an hour" with
Tom; he wouldn't pay his respects
to Miss Neal" he said, directly"
The back door was again open, and
Mr.. Morton managed to seat him
self near it. Soon a piano, touched
by skillful hand, was heard; Mr..
Morton raised his finger for silence;
and then one of the sweetest voices
he had ever heard poured forth
again the words of one of his songs.
Ever since yesterday, when the en-
trance of visitor had stopped the
singer midway, that voice had been
lingering in his ears. He had
dreamed of it even at night. When
it ceased, he drew a long breath,
mentally saying, as Ada had said;
what sympathetic voice." For
it seemed to give deeper meaning
to his song.
One or two other songs followed,
and then the voices were heard in
conversation. 1t was easy to dis
tinguish that of the musician, it
was "that most excellent thing in
woman" a low, sweet voice. The
thoughts, which it expressed, more
over were in harmony with the
voice; they were tokens, Mr.. Nor
ton said to himself, of refined and
elevated heart and mind. ut is
hardly fair" he said, at last, men,
tally, "to sit here listening" And
rising, he proposed to his friend, tc
go into the parlor, ''for the ladies,
said he, seemed to have finished
their music"
Clara received him with a consci-
Gus blush, and an exultant glance al
Ada, for she attributed the visit tC
herself. For few minutes, she al.
most engrossed his time. She had
indeed, presented him to Ada, but
had Immediately demanded his at.
tention by question; the introduc.
ing "a music teacher" to him or any
other guest, she would have thought
preposterous. Very soon, however,
with his usual success in whatever
he undertook, Mr.. Morton managed
to be presented to Miss Bury. The
latter was sitting, embarrassed and
coloring, at the music-stool, wait
ing for leave to go, when he turned
the conversation on singing, begged

MURDERED THREE BOYS
LeDa Schmidt's Awful Crime
at Bordentown, N. J.
NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR THE ACT.

One of the Victims Her Own Son, and the
Others Sons of NeiChbar--All Three
s strangl"d--Her Sex Saves Her From Be
Ing Lynchrd.
BoRDENTowN, N. j., Sep. ga Ger
man woman, named Lena Schmidt
murdered three young children, ranging
from one tor three years old, yesterday
at her residence No. Chestnut street,
by choking them to death
Que of the victims was her own son
and the other two were sons of William
children the woman, who is believed to
be insane, went TO Marshal Jones and
told MIN that he would find three dead
bodies at her house.
She admitted the killing, but could
not give any reason for the act. Mrs.
Schmidt was locked up by the police
and the coroner and county physician
took charge of the victims.
The crime has caused great ex citement
here.
Lena Schmidt, the murderess, is So
years of age, is rather good-looking and
brunette. She has spent some of her
time in the county Jail at Mount Holly.
Some time ago she became acquainted
with young man in Mount Holly, and
the two came here together. The young
man was blond, about 80 years of age
The two were arrested here and COM
mitted for disorderly conduct. At first
Lena was not recognized by the local po-
lice, who were greatly excited over the
murders, but now that they have had
time to collect their thoughts they have
no doubt as to her identity.
She is the daughter of Farmer William
Brown, who lives six miles away from
BGrdentown at a country crossroads
known as Red Lion. Her character Is
described as essentially bad. Late last
night she told Marshal Jones that her
son fell downstairs and blood ran from
his nose as a result. The sight of blood,
she says, made her crazy and as it con-
tinued to flow she choked the child to
death to stop it. She then says that she
laid the child ON the floor and called the
eldest Bowker boy, who was playing in
the front room, and strangled him. Then
to make her work complete she took the
younger child, who was playing in the
yard, carried him inside, and, when she
reached the dining room, applied her ter
rible fingers.
The grand jury is now in session at
Mount Holly, and the inquest will soon
be held. Feeling ran high last night,
and it was owing to her sex that Lena
Schmidt wasn't lynched.

THE FILTHLNEss OF HAMBURG.
Description of the Dirty Water Suppl
which Favored the Cholera.

Description of the Dirty Water Supply
Which Favored the Cholera.
LONDON, Sep. 29.-The Chimes" cor
respondent in Hamburg writes: The els
terms are choked with solid matter. In
fact, the chain of pollution grows with
every link. The water in the river is
clearer than that in the water works;
there is clearer water in the water works
than in the mains, and that in the mains
is clearer than that in the houses. Only
one thing was wanted. 1t was to provide
an entrance for cholera poison into the
water system. This was arranged.
The intake is so situated that at flood
tide matter from the sewage outfalls
can reach it. In Hamburg houses the
sewage runs out at the basement and in
again at the roof, after little tour of
the river and water works. This crimi-
nal state of things has been notorious for
IS or 20 years. New water works are
planned, but little else. They are not
likely to be completed for two years.
Whether they will be effective Is a ques-
ton for engineers, but the fact stands
that Altoona is in a worse position with
regard to sewage, but has escaped the
scourge by virtue of having power water
works.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sep. 2S.-The new
cases of cholera, yesterday, numbered
twenty, and the deaths two. Forty
patients were discharged as cured.
HAvRE, Sep. 29.-There were three
deaths from cholera, yesterday, and nine
new cases.

Reports from Many objected Points
No Cholera on the Empress of India.
QUARANTINE, Sep. 2S.-The fresh out
break of cholera on the Bohemia, the last
but one Of the ill-starred Hamburg ships
left in the lower bay, has caused stir
among the Health Department officials,
and the third visit to the infected vessel
and Swinburne Island, made last even
ing by DIR. Jenkins and his consulting
bacteriologist, DR.. Sternberg, plainly tells
of the anxiety caused by the new cases.
The first news of sickness reached the
Health Officer late Monday night, and
the official report by DR.. Byron, given
out yesterday morning, showed that two
children were transferred to Swinburne
Island, one, a boy of 8, dying two hours
after entering the hospital.
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Byron again
reported that, in answer to the flag
hoisted on the Bohemia, he had trans
ferred three more cases, all suffering
from severe symptoms OF cholera The
Eve cases were as follows:
Mariana Lnkowska, years old. -
Stanislaus Michsarich, years old
William Late, years old. 4
Johanna Milkzarich, 6 years old,
Carl Gassman, "a years old,
OF the above, Stanislaus Michsarich
died early yesterday.
Among the Bohemia's passengers are
100 children, and the long confinement
has begun to have most serious results.
The Scandals people, now on Hoffman
Island. numbering nearly 1000, have
been IA days without case of serious
nature, and so urgent has become the
necessity for attention to the Bohemia,
that it is likely the Scandals passengers
will either be released to-day or trans
ferred to the New Hampshire.
The ease with which the disease gains
foothold is shown by the discovery OF DR..
Walser, who CHANGED to see the new pa
tients at the hospital soon after their ad-
mission. In the bosom of the young man,
Gassman, he found food in the shape of
herrings and cheese. which had been se-
creted for future consumption.
1t is this difficulty of keeping food
from the Russian Jews and their utterly
filthy habits that make it almost impossi-
BILE to prevent sickness, especially when
confined on shipboard.
1t is 8 days since the Health Board re-
ported a case of cholera in this city. The
bulletin issued this morning was to the
effect that there had been no cases since
September ~. Philip Mudschenck, 80
years old, was taken to the hospital last
night from $3.50 Eleventh avenue. His
case is looked upon as a suspicious one.

The Cunarti Line, Tired of Supporting

The Cunard LtneS Tired OF supporting
Them. Turns Them Out of Doors.
LONDON, Sep. 28.-The Cunard Steam
ship Line, having grown tired of main
tanning the emigrants from Hamburg
who had bought tickets by way of the
line at boarding houses in Liverpool,
and seeing no early prospect of being
able to dispose of them by transportation
to America, offered to return to the
emigrants the amount of their fares.
The majority refused to accept the Of
fer, and insisted on being conveyed to the
United States.
The company then notified the keepers
of the boarding houses in which the en-
migrants had been maintained that the
company would be no longer responsible
for their support.
Thereupon the landlords turned the
smigrants out of doors. The emil
grants applied to the authorities, but
the latter declined to admit the strangers
to the warehouses, as the poorhouses in
England are called, and the unfortunate
foreigners are wandering about the
streets, the police, for sanitary reasons,
not wishing to arrest them, and nobody
being willing to have anything to dc
with them.

A MILITARY FUNERAL.
The Last Rites Over the Body of Band
master Gilmore.

The Last Rites Over the Body of Band
master Gilmore.
NEW YORK, Sep. 29.-The body Of Pat
Grand Central Depot yesterday.
On the funeral train accompanying the
body were Mrs. p. s. Gilmore and her
daughter, Minnie; the committee of three
from the Gilmore band, and three direc-
tors of the Musical Protective Associa-
ton, who met the train at Poughkeepsie.
Long before the time the train was due
crowds of friends and associates of the
dead leader had gathered at the depot
When the train arrived, the musicians
formed in two long lines from the train
to the waiting carriages without.
Behind these lines providing every cor
ner of the spacious depot and the street
were thousands of people who stood with
uncovered heads from the moment of the
trains arrival.
After Mrs. Gilmore and her daughter
had passed to their carriage. the coffin
containing the remains of the famous
band master was taken from the car and
carried to the hearse waiting without.
AS the head of the funeral train reached
the entrance to the depot the soft and
solemn notes of the "Lost Chord" filed
the vast Enclosure and the music continued
until the funeral procession moved away.
The remains were driven directly to
the late home of the deceased where they
will remain until the funeral.
Secretary Hunt, of the Musical Union,
said that Mrs. Gilmore had consented to
military funeral to take place to-
day.
