THE NEW YORK MYSTERY.
Four Hundred Detectives on a Sec
ond GuIdensuppe Case.

onu &uSss
NEW YORK, Oct. s.-The fragments of
a woman's body. fshed out OF the North
River at the foot of Thirteenth Street late
on Saturday night, was on table at the
morgue this morning with the left thigh
of woman which was picked up in the
gutter in front of 160 West Seventeenth
Street, early Saturday morning, and the
two fragments were found to belong to
each other. The result was to convince
the police that a murder had been COM
mitted and to stir the department up to
an activity which 1t has not displayed since
the case of the Turkish bath rubber,
Guldensuppe.
Two hundred detectives were assigned
this afternoon to the West Thirtieth Street
station to work on the case, and while they
are deyoting their energies to the West
Side of the city similar number under
Captain McCluskey are working on the
East Side. Almost every precinct detec-
tive in the city has been called into the
case by Chief Devery, and the region
where the first of the fragments of the
body was found has been completely sur
rounded. The surnfise of Inspector Harley
and Captain Price was that the murder was
committed in the neighborhood of Seven
teenth Street and Sixth or Seventh Ave-
nues, and that those concerned had not
ments of the body. The woman was alive
very recently.
The murder bears so striking a resem
blanee to the Guldensuppe murder that
Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon stated today that
it was undoubtedly the work of student
of that crime. The cutting up of the body
was a rough job and the work of persons
whose main idea was to get the body into
pieces, regardless of how it was done. APP
parently the murderers are following the
lead of the man and woman who killed
Guldensuppe, in every detail, for they have
set out to distribute the sections of the
body around the city, and perhaps the
country in much the same fashion that
mains.
They cannot get rid of any of their
ghastly bundles in the city of New York
without being caught" said Captain Price
tonight, Deputy Coroner Weston believes
that the woman was between thirty five
and forty years of age, that she was five
feet four inches tall. weighed between 140
and 160 pounds, had chestnut brown hair,
and waist measurement of about 20
inches. On the inside of the thigh De-
tective Samuel Price discovered today four
slight abrasions of the flesh, which he
thinks may have been caused by man s
fingernails
The abrasions are in curving row.
Deputy Coroner Weston's examination of
the fragment found in the river showed
that certain internal organs had been re-
moved Whether this was dcue TO conceal
evidences of malpractice is a matter of
guess work, but that those who cut up
the body had some specific object in going
to so much extra work there is little
! doubt. The police believe that the removal
was done 10 conceal the story of the case.

The Philippine Question.

Archbishop Katzer and Archbishop
Elder vii also lead in the discussion of the
Philippine question. The idea that the
Archbishops should take concerted action
concerning the alleged deseeratien of
churches and the spoliation of the sacred
vessels of the altar and the priestly and
episcopal vestments has been practically
abandoned.
Prominent Archbishops have shown that
never before in history have the Arch
bishops, as body, made representations to
the American Government. 1t is now al
most too late to restrain or correct the al
legged evil. as hundreds of vestments and
dozens OF valuable chalices and other altar
utensils, it is claimed, have been brought
to the United States and disposed of, and
are now beyond the possibility of recovery

have concluded that it would be only use
less and productive of unnecessary strife
for them to publicly notice these alleged
outrages. They Will. however, be fully dis
cussed. and the data gathered will be in
vestigated carefully. Private and unofficial

DESCRIPTION OF THE NATIVE.
Prof. William Ellis says: Originally ot
the Malayo-Polynesian race, these people
are usually OF a reddish-hrown or tarnished
| copper, with hair nearly always long and
black, and very heavy; beard very thin
and face and the nose inclined TO be quite
broad; the forehead, in many instances
quite high"
While in few cases the lips are inclined
to be thick, yet this must not be taken as a
proof by any that these people resemble
the negroes. In truth, no such opinion
can be formed so far as | can discover by
their features.
The men wear their hair close-cut, while
the women comb theirs back so as to give
it a high, fluffy appearance, both neat
and attractive. The eyes are usually
dark, bright, and expressive, full OF fun
and merriment.
The Kanaka is of muscular build, quite
after the fashion of the New Zealander;
large, and of athletic constitution. Those
of royal families We're generally of the
greatest build and physique.
Physically speaking, the native Ha-
waiian race is the most perfect to be found in
the Pacific. But since the coming of other
races to the islands it is a noticeable fact
It'at the native is becoming weaker, though
, brighter, by amalgamation. AS is true
Of our American Indian, who, since his
intermarriage, has become less savage
and more liable to disease, the same in a
general way may he said of the Hawaiian
yet these people are more hardy and in,
dustrious than those living nearer the
equator.
The climate in which these people live
makes them only dependent upon the
yam "a specie of sweet-potato), taro, and
aruni for their food. Perhaps the uni
/ versal use OF a large amount of fish as al
article of food may in a measure be the
cause OF so large an intellectual capacity
being shown among them. Mr.. Ellis, il
| his article on Polynesia, speaking OF the
! life, says: Their moral character wheI
/ first visited by the Europeans, was no
superior 10 other islanders; and, excep
when improved and preserved by the in
fiuence Of Christianity, it has suffere,
much from the vices of intemperance ant
! Righteousness introduced by foreigners.
The truth of this statement may yet b
found by an observing visitor 10 the is
lands; in fact, 1 was told the Kanaka Lar
| guage has no word for female virtue an
polygamy prevailed among the chiefs an
rulers, while women We're subjected
many privations under the tabu system.
