MAN AND WIFE's SILENT LIFE
James Hooper, member of prominent
Maryland family and an uncle of the
present Mayor of Baltimore, was buried
there one day last week. For twenty
years previous to his death Mr.. Hoop
or bad not exchanged word with his
wife, though they lived together in the
same house with their children and at
tended the same church. Mr.. Hooper
was 81 years old at his death and his
widow is so. Twenty years ago he
purchased lot of ground near Towson,
suburb, with the intention of booming
it. He used some money of Mrs. Hoop
er's. The boom failed, the property
tell in value and all of the money was
lost. Mrs. Hooper, who thought hei
husband was responsible for her losses,
refused to speak to him. He recipro.
Gated, and as the years went by the bit
terness towards each other increased.
They ate at the same table; they went
to church together, but would never
speak to each other. Their children
tried to reconcile them, but all in vain.
When Mr.. Hooper fell i'll his wife re-
fused to have anything to do with him.

A DRUNKEN MANAGES WORK.


While crazed with liquor Tuesday
night Joseph Bay, ofPhiladelphia, tried
to kill his wife and daughter, shot a
lodger and then killed himself with a
bullet which he fired into his heart
The condition drink left him in was all
that saved his daughters life, for his
aim was unsteady.
There was wedding at their house
on Monday night and this was in Il
great measure responsible for Tuesday
evenings tragedy, for it started Bay on
his debauch. The groom was one Of
Bays dodgers and all in the house were
present.
The drinking was kept up pretty
nearly all night. There was an abund
ance of liquor and it was not all drank,
and when yesterday morning Bays wife
and daughter went to work he remain
ed at home and kept up the celebra-
ton, When his wife and daughter re
turned in the evening he met them al
crezsd with liquor as he was, immedi
ately opened 1re upon them with re-
volver. The shots attracted the atten-
ton OF lodger in the house named
Sbepersky, who went to the rescue and
received bullet in the leg.
Bay then turned the revolver upon
himself and fired with fatal effect. The
women escaped injury
