Miss Linke Now Worth
Ten Millions.
HER FATHER A USURER.
Sent Daughter Out TO Work When
She Was Very Young.
HIDING PLACES FOR MONEY.

London, Aug. 22-Christina Linke up
to few weeks ago worked in the house
OF a Vienna merchant for bare pit
tance. Today she is one of the richest
women in the Austrian capital. She has
SIC. 900, 900 to her name.
Christina had to seek work at an
early age, sent out by her father, whom
she always believed to be poor. Yet all
the time old Ferdinand Linke was
amassing fortune by the most crafty
and extortionate means.
Linke was a usurer. At times his ra-
pacity was too much for his caution.
and then he would be guilty of rascal
ity that the Vienna police could not
overlook.
He was several times thrown into
prison, but prison fare was luxury to
him, so much better was 1t than that
which he allowed himself.
Miser Linke loved no living thing:
gold alone appealed to his nature. He
rarely allowed his daughter to see him.
She, not knowing his real character,
would sometimes save up enough out
OF her pitful wage to buy the old man
delicacies. These he would accept.

bidding his daughter to spend no more.
He died in the presence of a blind
attendant-he could not trust one who
could see the glitter of his beloved gold.
After his death his house was searched
from roof to cellar.
In every room money was hidden
great rolls of bank notes and piles OF
gold were discovered i'm every conceiv-
able place, some hidden away In the
CRATES that never saw q fire. more be-
meath the boards, in holes in the wall

dition that she should never give any

NOT GRIEvING.
Naval Reserves Satisfied at Being
Released From Service.
Hot Day at Quonset Camp-First Regiment
Expects Orders to Move.

Several of the Naval Reserves who
have been discharged from the United
States service were around town this
morning, and none of them seem to be
grieving over the fact that they arc
once more free to come and 60 They
claim that II the war had continued
they would have been only too glad to
see active service. but they could not
see any glory in devoting their time to
scrubbing decks and polishing brass
work. They speak well OF their treat
ment by the officers and petty officers.
but. as one of them said. "the grub
was ferce.''
Other reserves are expected 20 be dis
charged this week. and when all the
men have returned to the state it is
very probable that some steps will be
taken towards the reorganization of the
Naval Reserve Battalion, although this
is one Of the problems that Gov. Dyer
is working on in relation to a general
reorganization of the state militia.

Portable home. with evidences of pros
perity in business. She said that the
whole thing was due TO mistake and
she became alarmed. She had lately
had some trouble in falling asleep, and
on Saturday night bethought herself OF
some medicine that DIR. Gardiner has
prescribed for her some time ago.
She got the bottle and took dose of
the medicine, and IL burned her throat
and mouth so that she thought she
must have made a mistake, and at once
jumped to the conclusion that she had
taken poison. Why she thought it was
choral she does not know, but she
started at once for the drug store and
later went to the doctor. She says that
in her excitement she believes that she
did tell officer Moffitt that she was dis
couraged.
Nine. Burroughs positively asserted
that the matter was really one of tri-
fling Importance. and repeated that IL
was all due to a mistake on her part,
and nothing more. She said she had
plenty of business and there was moth
ing in her life to cause her trouble.

ROsengarten Gould Not

SO HE DRANK POISON.
Left Note Saying He Coulin't Live
Under Such Conditions,
FOUND DYING ON DOORSTEP.

New York, Aug. 22.-Disheartened by
not alleviate. Nathan Rosengarten yes
terday killed himself by drinking car
bolic acid. He was found dying on the
stoop OF 304 East 10lst street.
Rosengarten was an idealist and the
improvement Of society was his con-
slant thought. Lis 10 years of life had
shown him no means OF bringing about
the desired condition, and he decided
to be witness no longer of evils he
could not remedy.
Rosengarten lived for the last two
years with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Cohen
at 300 East 102d street. He came to this
country seven years ago from Riga,
Russia. his birthplace, and became a
painter and decorator. He was an ON
niverous reader and early became a So
cialist. He was a member OF the Mt.
Morris club. at 3o4 East 101st street.
One of the club members said of him:
'.Rosengarten was a strange sort of a
fellow. AS young as he was he seemed
to delve deep into social problems. 1
have often heard him expressing regret
at the misery he saw around him, and
say that men alone are to blame for it
ALL"
In one of the young mans pockets
was found a small piece OF paper, on
which was written in German:
II cannot live in such conditions.
must commit suicide. Please see that
my body is cremated.
NATHAN ROSENGARTEN.'
The note was addressed to Comrades
of the Forward Society,"" an organiza-
ton that publishes a newspaper, on
Suffolk street, i'm the interests of So
cialism.
Mr.. Cohen, with whom young Rosen-
garten lived. said Rosengarten had
been out OF work for few weeks. but
that need not have worried him .as the
boy was always welcome to home in
his house.
Mrs. Cohen says that Rosengarten
was at home most OF the day Friday,
and talked I'm sorrowful way about
poverty, wealth and the unequal dis
tribution Of wealth. HE said then he
did not like to walk on Broadway. as
he saw there so much that some per-
sons could have and others could not"
The body of Rosengarten will be
cremated, as he requested.

expected to arrive any day this week.
There Is a great deal of rain at the

used TO rain that II is accepted as n
normal state OF things. There Is a
great demand for furloughs. and IL is
astonishing how many telegrams have
been received from Providence and
other points In Rhode Island stating
that relatives were dying or were I'm
great danger of death. In fact, so many
such demands were made that an in

that the majority of the kilograms were

Hot at Quonset Camp.

Yesterday was hot at Quonset Point,
and there was hardly a breath of air
stirring, and the men who were not on
duty in the forenoon just laid around
and kept as cool as possible. The
horses, however, had to be exercised
and both batteries went out during the
afternoon for ride on the country
roads. In the evening there was a
Gospel meeting and talk In the Army
Christian association rooms.
First Lieut.. f. o. Allen, one of the
most popular officers OF Battery b, has
resigned, to take effect september 1.
The resignation. which has been
brought about by pressure of business
and the improbability that the batteries
will ever see service, was accepted by
the war department Saturday, and has
caused general regret among the men
of the batteries. Lieut.. Allen Is the
secretary of the Hazard Cotton Com
pany of this city. and his busy season
is now about to commence.
