"A Wife's Clever Defense OF Her "Awful
Looking" Husband.

A Wife's Clever Defense OF Her "Awfu
Looking Husband.
In a small New England village
there lives q man named Jenkins San
.derson whose enormous, ungainly fig
urc and forbidding expression of coun-
tenance seem to belle his real gentle
ness and good-nature, and make him
an object of distrust and sometimes
even of horror to strangers. His wife
is thin, prim old lady, the embodi-
ment of neatneSs, and exceedingly
quiet in her manners. She has a serene.
placid face. which is not often agitated
by smiles, and still more rarely rutfied
by frowns.
she was taking tea one summer aft
ernoon with neighbor who had a
new summer boarder," lady of hys-
terical tendencies, who boasted of the
extreme sensitiveness Of her nervous
organization" Several other worthy
danes, residents OF the village. were
participants in this mild festivity.
As the guests were seated around
the table. the summer boarder CHANGED
to look out of the window and saw
Jenkins Sanderson approaching the
house with a message for his wife. 1t
was the summer boarder's first sight
of him.
''Oh, mercy on us!' she exclaimed in
shrill disunay. dropping her tea-cup
with clatter; lust see, Who's that
awful-looking man coming up the
path He has frightened me almost
ont OF my wits.''
The embarrassment of the other
guests was painful for a moment. but
no longer. Mrs. Sanderson gazed calm
" out of the window and then turned
her mild glance upon the hysterical
boarder.
Why, ma'a-n," she said. TRANQUILITY.

THEY WERE POOR AND NEEDY.

Mrs. Hannah Brpmback, seventy
seven years old, OF "A 1-2 North Fifth
street. Williamsburg. Is dying in st.
GATHERINGS Hospital to-day. She was
very badly burned early this morning,
and the indications are that she had at
tempted to end her life.
Mrs. Brumback lived ut the address
given with her blind husband, who is
over eighty-five years old. They were
In very poor circumstances, and It was
a mystery to their neighbors how they
got along.
Shortly before 6 o'clock this morning
Mr.. Brumback was aroused by his
wife's screams. He called to her. but
received no answer, and then the old
man partially dressed himself and felt
his way to the door. and shouted for
some one to tell him what had become
Of his wife.
There we're plenty who could tell him,
but would not. for only q few feet away
from the sightless old man lay his wife,
burned beyond recognition.
She had come running out into the
street a few moments before with her
clothes all ablaze and shrieking for help

but not before she had received injuries
that will prove fatal! She was taken
to st. GATHERINGS Hospital, add the Sis
ters there say that there is no hope Tor
her recovery.
Policeman James Matthews, who ar
rived shortly after the affair happened,
learned enough to convince him that
Mrs. Brumback attempted to end her
own life. Mr.. Brumback says that of
late she had frequently talked of COM
uniting suicide. and when asked why
she should have chosen such a horrible
mode of death. he shrugged his shoulders
and said bitterly:
I'VE are too poor to afford to buy
poison"
Another point that tends to support
the suicide theory is that there was no
fire In the house, and II is hard to see
how her clothing could have got ablaze
accidentally.
Since her removal to the hospital the
old woman has been In such horrible
agony that II has been found impossible
to get any statement from her.

Inlng nack OF all this that they cannot
fathom.
Suspect n Game.
They suspect that Senator Hill is play
ing very shrewd game of politics.
They think there may be a hidden pur-
pose In the withdrawal of Gov. Flower
and the retirement of Senator Murphy
as Chairman of the State Committee:
Inc object may have been TO lead the
people to believe that the machine has
relinqulshed its hold, and thus try TO
allay opposition. These men think. how
ever, that Murphy will continue to pose
as the nominal leader, giving his orders
the same as usual.
Hin will continue to be. the
chief controlling spirit, and that it will
be the same old machine under a new
name. If the people of New York want
a coroner, a police justice, an alder
man to perform a marriage or have
business with a head of the department
they must come up here to find them.
