SHE MADE NEW YEARS CALLS
Mrs. Frederick Rotkcr Has a Lively
Time with Her Husband.

Mrs. Frederick Rotker, the wife of an
ex-policeman, of No. 229 Washington
street, Hoboken. on Saturday afternoon
followed out the old fashion of calling on
her gentlemen friends, Saturday being
ladies' day.
Mrs. Rotker spent the entire afternoon
and part of the evening in visiting her
friends, making merry and enjoying the
day. She took her little daughter with
her.
The husband came home for supper.
and instead of finding a hot supper wait
ing for him, he found the house dark
both the fire and his wife out.
The ex-polceman's anger arose. TAX
ing his weeks wages he visited a neigh
boring saloon where he sought solace in
mixed ale. Blu mis- anger, however, IL
creased with every glass of the liquid
he drank.
He then went back to his home and
stood in the doorway. Finally about ten
O'clock his wife and child appeared

Of being drunk. He told her that no
decent woman would go around calling
all day and night and neglectiag. her
husband, and wound up by calling her a
vile name.
This was too much for Mrs. Rotlsar,
and letting out her right she struck her
husband a severe blow in the face. Be-
fore he could get away from her she had
struck him several times.
Rotker continued to say unkind things
of his wife, and she threatened to have
a policeman arrest him. Mrs. Rotker
then went into the house, and in a few
minutes came flying out of the door ac-
cusing her husband of stealing her
money.
yes, I took the money and you won't
get a cent of 1T. I earned it and it is
mine. and no policeman can take it away
from me-
BY this time a large crowd had col

Then began an exchange of cempli-

the crowd. Finally a friend of the fam
