SHE WAS OF NOBLE BLOOD.
a New York Suicide Daughter Of Baron
Won Stelzberg, OF Vienna.

Won stelzberz, OF Vienna.
No one has claimed the body of Jose
phiue Stelzberg, who on Tuesday morn
ing committed suicide by shooting her
self 10 Central Park, says the New York
World. Her death was the end Of ro-
manuclife.
She was the daughter OF Baron Won
Stelzberg, of Vienna, az whose behest
she married an Austrian officer whom
she did not love. Previous to that she
had become fascinated with another
man, a citizen Of Vienna. Eighteen
months ago she left her husband and
came 20 this country, resuming the use
OF her maiden name. Ten mOnts later
she hired three rooms on top floor In
Brooklyn. She was employed by Henry
OpDer, trimming manufacturer OF No.
Is Spring street, doing considerable
Work 10 the evening at her home.
Six months ago she received $3.50 from
her grandmother in Vienna. She put it
in a savings bank and added $500 TO il
by dint Of hard economy. Five months
ago a strange man began 10 visit her.
Ii appears that he was the love OF her
youth, for whose sake she had left her
husband, and who had followed her
here from Vienna. he visited her
twice a week for about two months, and
then ceased 10 come. He had disad-
peared, taking with him the $3.50 be-
longing 70 Miss Won Stelzberg, which
she had intended TO use in furnishing
home which they could occupy to-
Eether. His deiertion and Scoundrelism
broke her hearl. She kept almost en-
tirely within her room after that. Work
failed her. She was unable 20 pay her
rent and was without money TO buy
food.
She left a pitiful note for her land
lord. in which she begged him not TO
disclose the fact that she owed him
money, as 10 would disgrace her.

The Duration of a Dream.

Those learned and scientific gentlemen
who have gone into the subject declare
the longest dreams hardly last a few
minutes. The following instance lends
support to their views. One evening
Victor Hugo was debating letters to his
secretary. Overcome by fatigue, the
great man dropped into a slumber. A
few moments afterward he awoke,
haunted by dream which, as he thought
had extended over several hours, and he
blamed his secretary for sitting there
waiting for him, instead of Weakening
him or else going away. What was his
surprise when the bewildered secretary
told him that he had only just finished
writing the last sentence dictated to him.

to count the vote, but that it was correct
ly counted by Edwin A. Gray, warden,
and verified by Philip Deering, who was
chosen representative of the Democratic
party to supervise the count of votes
after the polls closed, which count as
made and verified was then recorded by
Clerk Ulmer.
The evident purpose of the Argus is to
set "a back fire to cover the misdoings OF
Wards and by crying fraud against
Mr.. Ulmer, but it is plainly evident that
each of the Republican candidates OF
Ward 6 had a majority, even if the total
vote of the ward u075) was thrown fol
each set of officers, which of course sci.
dom is the case.
Let the Argus editor interview Mr..
Philip Deering, Democratic representa-.
tive atsWard 6, on the correctness of the
count IN said ward, and if he needs fur.
ther information the ballots can be pro

In the Same Chair.

In the years of his highest reputation
Daniel Webster was favored with de-
gree Of personal adulation and "toady-
ing" which was not altogether agreeable
to him. 1t is related that on one occa-
sion when public reception was given
to him at hotel in Boston particularly
obsequious old Office seeker was intro
duced. The man fattered Webster and
ground his own ak, bowling and scraping
until the great man was tired of him,
and bidding him good day settled down
heavily into the nearest chair. But the
man, instead of passing on and giving a
chance to the next conner, fingered near
and seemed to have something still on
his mind, though he looked very blissful.
Webster observed this and said not
very good naturally, "May I ask you,
sir, if you want anything more Of me?'
"Oh--oh, mo-" said the man, smirking.
"Only perhaps may be permitted to re-
mark that am proud to say thatmy hat
is having the inestimable honor to oc-
cupy the same chair with Daniel Web
ster." Webster had. as matter of fact,
sat down on the mans tall beaver hat and
crushed it out of shape.-Yankee Blade.
