SHE STARVED TO DEATH.
Mrs. Cook Refused All Food for
Two Months.

BURLINGTON. N. j., Dec. le.-Mrs.
Henry Cook. who for the past two months
has been without nourishment, died at 5
o'clock this morning. Her death was from
starvation md nervous prostration.
Mrs. Cook was forty years old. About
two months ago she lost her appetite and
her stomach rejected food. Her condition
became worse, and DR.. Rink was called
In to attend her.
He found the woman In a high state OF
and suffering from a fever.
After he was called in Mrs. Cock re-
fused to take n~ourishment. Friends
tempted her with dainty morsels, but
she rejected the food as II 1t was poison.
DR.. Rink says Mrs. Cooks malady
was a peculiar one, as she was suffering
from an excessive SECRETION of bile in the
stomach, which acted upon her system.
causing nervous prostration.
On Thanksgiving Day a neighbor tried
to tempt Mrs. Cooks's appetite by send
ing her a basket containing, turkey, pies
and other food. She refused to touch It.,
and gave 1t to her dog. For the past
sixty days Mrs. Cook had eaten, alb
~solutely nothing. She quenched her thirst
by water and a little cider.

HERE ARE STRONG CHARGES.
Board Accused of Demanding a
Political Certificate.
Plumber Kelly Alleges He Was
Asked to Buy Protection.

Judge Truax In Supreme Court, Cham
bers, this morning heard arguments on
a motion made by the Examining Board
OF Plumbers to quash Il writ OF certl-
orari. The certlorarl was secured Dec.
2 last to review the Boards decision dis
missing Thomas J. Kelly's application
Tor a certificate as master plumber.
In the course Of his arguments this
counsel for the plumber. said that the
only reason the Board of Examiners had
grant his client a certificate was that he
the Board. an act which would lave
rendered amenable to the criminal law.
They required him to keep open his
the door thereof until they decided on
the lawyer, and demanded, further
more, that he produce a certificate from
standing.
This meant his standing, not as a
citizen. but as a Tammanyite. And be-
keeping his shop open before obtaining
a certificate nor by protection from the
police captain he was denied a certificate
by the Examining Board So.
this whole law of granting certificates
to master plumbers Is unconstitutional.
t is not like licensing doctors or attor-
neys: 1t gives n license to a man who,
In nine cases out of ten, never. in his
own person, exercises the trade to which
II qualities him. A master plumber IL
censed by the Examining Board employs
other men to do his work. The latter
may know absolutely nothing about
plumbing. and thus the end of the law
which should be the protection of the
sanitary condition OF the city, is de
tented. And 1t is a notorious fact that
certificates are often given to those
who know nothing about plumbing.
President Cahay. OF the Master Plumb
ers' Association. has a certificate al
though he is no plumber"
Lawyer Terence Farley, OF the Corpo-
ration Counsel's Office. appeared on be-
half of the Examining Board.
Mr.. Farley ridiculea the idea that there
was any political animus In the case,
and maintained that the Supreme Court
had no right or power to question the
DECISION Of the Examining Board.
This Board he said, " Is composed
Of plumbers. Tn Supreme Court IL not.
Which Is better able to judge OF n mans
qualifications to do plumbing work ?"
Judge TruaX reserved his decision.
Plumber Kelly after the hearing told
an Evening World" reporter that he
hal been a plumber for fifteen years,
and that he believed one reason why a
certihcat, had been refused him was be-
cause he had not Joined the Master

Fear of Exposure Drove Aged Benz

BOONTON. N. j., Dec. lit leaked
out to-day hat the suicide Sunday of
Benjamin Hammond. n widower. seventy
years old. was probably due to fear of

During the absence OF the young wo-
entered her apartments. She success
fully repulsed him. and when he tried

exposure.
Several hours later Hammond was

SHOULD OWNERS BE LIABLE7
Gen. Clark on n Proposed Tenement
House Bill.

Gen. Clark. Secretary of the Board OF
Health, was asked to-day what he thought
Of the proposed Central Labor Union bill
to hold landlords responsible for damages
incurred by those evicted from tenement
houses because OF the unhealthy condi-
ton of the latter.
IT believe" he replied. that such a
bill would be rather a valuable addition
to the operation Of the present regulation.
Anything to compel the careless landlord
to keep his property in a sanitary con-
dltion will be acceptable, but to make a
law to compel the Health Department to
repair property condemned and then re-
imburse the city by a lien on the prop
erty is nonsense Of the worst description.
81 saw that suggested the other day.
The property would Jump at the
chance OF a law like that coming into ex-
vested with that power in 1866. when the
Department was created. The result was
that we went ahead and repaired houses
at a cost of about SOS, 900, and not more
than 1000 has ever been recovered.
we virtually put private property In
good repair at the expense OF the tax
payers in general. We put liens on
property. but the owners always found
loopholes in the law through which to
escape and defeat the city.
There were too many property-owners
In this city to take advantage of the
law, which really compelled the Health
Department to do what the present law
now forces them to do, by rendering their
condemned property a source oil nom
revenue"

SLIGHT RALLY IN STOCKS.
At the Opening the Market Was
Very Feverish.
Small Short Holders Frightened
Into Covering.

The Wall street markets for securities
continue feverish and unsettled. The
rallies that occur are the result of pur-
chases to cover short contracts, but
whenever prices move up the bears re-
new their attacks and succeed in forcing
out more or less long stock.
The Eastern and Western trunk line
shares are most susceptible to bearish
influence. because of the heavy falling
of in earnings, a fact which has been
emphasized by the order given out by the
Pennsylvania to educe the working
force OF the road materially.
