Suspicious Circumstances Attend the
Death of a Hoboken Girl.
There are some people in Hoboken vino
are yet disposed to think that Miss Lizzie

few hours illness last Sunday morning
took her own life. no twithstandinQ the
fact that DIR. Kudlich and Counry ply
sician Converse both closely examined
the case, and decided that death was due
to acute gastro-entsritis.

panied Lizzie Schroeder home Saturday
night. They said they found her very
Ill in. Union Hill car. She was vomiting
out one OF the car windows. The men

Poor people of moderate meansI No
body wants you, except the real estate
speculator, and he wants you only to
empty your light pockets for yon, aud to
leave you to ole of cheap plumbing in the
poor little sham OF house that he
builds to suit your moderate means
and his immoderate greed. Nowhere
are you welcome, except where
contractors are digging new roads
aud blasting rocks aud filing sunken
lots with ashes and tin cans. The ran
dom goat of poverty browses on
the very confines of the scanty, small
settlement Of cheap gentflity where you
and your neighbors-people of mod crate
means like yourself-huddle together in
your endless. unceasing struggle for a
home and self respect. You know that
your smug. mean little house. tricked out
with machine made scroll work, and in
sufficiently clad in two coats OF ready
mixed paint Is an eyesore to the poor old
gentleman who has sold you a corner of
his fathers estate to build it on. But
there 1t fs-the whole hard business of
life for the poor--for the big poor and the
little poor. and the unhspplest of all. the
moderately poor. And yet You must
live, oh, people of moderate rneans You
have your loves and your cares. your
tastes aud your ambitions, your hopes
aud your fears. your grisfs aud your
joys, just like the people who etfvy you.
AS much as any OF them, you have the
