HERE, TOO.
The Hatless Theater Woman Is Ap-
preciated in New York.

prec1ate0 new 1Orks
From Life.
Life presents his compliments, his hon.
ege and the assurance of his high esteem
to several gentlewomen whom he has OBJ
served Of late. And he is most happy to
note that their number seems to be in
creasing rapidly. Need he state that he
refers to those considerable and kindly la
dies who voluntarily remove their hats
during the progress of theatrical per-
Torrance?
In former seasons the woman who came
to New York theater unbonneted, or who
removed her headgear after arrival, was a
rare exception. This year there seems to
have been a sort of spontaneous movement
which has led q number of the reDutedly
gentler sex to show this courtesy to their
fellow spectators. They are yet in the
minority, but it is a more than ordinary
sight to see a woman, at the rise of the
curtain, uno stentatiously remove her hat
or bonnet, as the case may be, and place it
in her lap. OF course, there still remain
complacent and presumably underlined per-
sons who seem to rejoice in wearing to the
theater the most barbarous connections
that a cheap milliner can produce. But IN
New York, at least, their number seems to
be diminishing, and whatever conspicu-
BUSINESS they thus secure is likely to be
more painful than flattering.
1t has always been Lies belief that the
better class of women have never wished
to offend in this direction. Now that a ra-
tional means of escape from its sometimes
disagreeable consequences offers, he is
glad to notice that it is the prettiest,
sweetest, most distinguished and alto
gether charming women in the theaters
who avail themselves of 1t.
Here's long life to them--bless them!--
and may they never be without a stalwart
and manly escort to take them to every
performance they want to see.

A HoNEYMooWS TRAGIC END.
A YOUNG, PRETTY AND HAPPY
BRIDE a SUICIDES WIDOW.

Tragic Death of Wade Geiger Three
Days After His lIarrfage-CraWIed
Under "A Vacant House and Died
Like "A Dog within sight of His
Young Wife-A Sadder Sight Sell
dom Seen Than the Grief of the
Young woman When She Learns
of the Tragedy.
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 2S.-Last Sunday
afternoon Wade J. Geiger and Charles
Daniels, two young men employed at that
time at the lunatic asylum, with some
friends, were the happy grooms at
double wedding here. marrying Misses
Sallie and jamie Kelly, aunt and niece,
respectively.
Loves young dream started happily;
but the end for one couple at least was
sudden and tragic.
Within thirty-six hours Wade Geiger
died by his own hand, under an un-
tenanted house within sight of his home,
where his beautiful and happy young bride
was waiting his return; died like a dog
up under the house There he erawled to
death after embracing his wife. telling
her "Good-by, darling" And her last
sight of him is pleasant memory, for
as far as he could see her he kept looking
back and smiling at her.
The story of his death makes strange
romance.
The dead man was 81 years Of age. He
had been an attendant at the lunatic
aslum for five years. For seven or eight
years he had known as child the young
golden-haired girl who, at IS years of age,
he married, now handsome woman.
The tragic end of the three days honey
moon was disclosed this morning when
the daughter of Stephen Frazier saw
what she supposed was a drunken man
lying under an untenanted house fifty or
seventy-five yards distant from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Kelly, his newly-made
mother-in-law, and gave the alarm. In
few moments it was discovered that it
was the body of the young groom, all
drawn up and cold in death, with a four
ounce laudanum bottle lying under one
arm.
When, the bride was informed a sad
der sight is seldom seen. Her grief
seemed uncomfortable, and it was in vain
that those around sought for cause
for the terrible deed of the young groom.
The cause was to be looked for else
where.
He had, no one knows why, become In

Of skull with three vertebrae attached
to the larynx and dried-up brains. The
third was part of the pelvis. with a sec

after the charred flesh had been scraped
away. A bunch of black hair. correspond
ing to that of the murdered lad, was dug
from the dirt OF the cellar this morning
From the bottom Of the stove, in which
the body is supposed to have been burn
ed, the detectives scraped a substance
blood and grease from the body. The
corpse was evidently burned on the second
floor, after which the stove-pipe was re-
moved and the unburned portions thrown
into the chimney fue, the base OF which
rests on the cellar floor. This morning
the chimney was torn away and a scarf
pin was found. 1t was in the shape OF a
twig, with branches and flower ornaments,
and is supposed to have been worn by the
boy.
At noon to-day superintendent Of Police
Powell and Coroner Castor went before
the grand jury and presented the facts
in the case. A strong effort will be made
to bring Holmes here, as the evidence
is thought to be very conclusive.
There is now no doubt that the charred
remains found in the vacant house at
Irvington last evening were those OF
Howard Pietzel. A telegram was received
from Mrs. Pietzel at Galva, Ill, to-day

tons of pbasic iron" to be used in the lat

Alice furnace in this city from red ore dug
from mines within a short distance of the
city. BY a new process adopted by the

His Wife to Pieces.

atrocious murders that has occurred In
New York for years was committed about

rled her two years ago when she was
widow with six children. all of whom are
still living. The eldest is Lizzie, 10 years
Of age, who assisted her mother in running
the Cafe Waldorf. ia East Fourth street.
The murderer's explanation of the act is
that he went home Unexpectedly and
found a strange man in a compromising
position with is wife. He asserts that he
saw sufficient to convince him that his
wife was not a proper woman and was
unfaithful to him.
He thereupon picked UP q small butcher
knife and slashed at her until she was
left a mangled corpse on the floor. The
woman's hands were cut to pieces, where
she grasped the knife with which her
death wounds were inflicted and struggled
madly with her murderer for its posses
sion. The frenzied man drew the weapon
across her throat from ear TO ear. Then
he showed the blade down her throat and
drew it across her cheek, so that the chin
was almost entirely cut away. Not sat
isfied with this he jabbed the knife into
the unfortunate woman's back and cut out
a large piece of flesh. The murderer was
arrested while calmly seated at table
In his Wife's cafe.
