HUSBAND NOT DEAD.
Mrs. Mendoza Thought He Had Been
Killed and Married Arain

New York, March ia woman asked
the court of chancery in Newark yesterday
to annul a marriage in which she lad
known the happiest days of her life. but
it was not a marriage in the eyes of the
law, because she had a husband living.
Mrs. Agnes Leah Mendoza did not know
that when she was welded to Frank Marsh.
She thought that Antonio Mendoza was
dead, and she shed no tears over him.
She was girl of seventeen when she mar
ried the young Cuban, who was at the time
student in Seton Hall College, in South
Orange.
He was a reckless youth, given to evil
ways. Not long after their marriage he
was arrested for theft and served a term
in prison. His girl wife clung to him, how
ever. after he was released, and they lived
together for a time. But his treatment
of her compelled her to leave him.
Mendoza went to Cuba in 1892 The re-
port came back that he had been killed
1t was while she was wearing widows
weeds that she met Frank Marsh, the son
of Charles Marsh, general Superintendent
of the Newark waterworks He was man
ager of his fathers contracting business,
and had an enviable reputation They
loved each other and were married on jan
uary 81, 1893.
From that time until a year ago there
was no cloud in their life. 1t was on Feb
ruary 1, 1S9S-neither of them will forget
the date-that Marsh and his wife went to
New York to go to a theatre On the
street they met a dark, foreign looking
young man.
He was as surprised as was the woman,
and both were agitated. She excused her
self to Marsh and drew the stranger aside.
Marsh looked on wonderingly. Presently
she came forward.
This she said to Marsh, sis Antonio
Mendoza, who was my husband
II was agreed that Marsh and Mrs. Marsh
should separate. No other course was open
to them. No legal steps were taken until
last December because both Marsh and the
woman dreaded the notoriety. The petit
ton was filed by Mrs. Mendoza's lawyer.

A MENDIcANT DIES WEALTHY.
Begged in the Streets. Though Pos
Scssing Fortune.

New York, March l5.-Mrs. Henrietta
Schmidt. who for many years begged in
the streets of williamsburg, and since old
age overlook her was regarded by many as
a worthy object of charity, was found dead
in her scantily furnished room on the top
floor of No. lS9 Harrison Avenue yesterday.
She was eighty-twO years old. 1t was then
learned that she had a small fortune TO
her credit in savings bank and could
have lived in luxury if she had cared to. 1t
is thought the amount she left is more than
$40 600
Hers was a familiar figure for fifteen
years at the ferry entrance at the foot of
Broadway. She was usually accompanied
by her husband, and the couple were most
successful. Schmidt died several years
ago. After his death she continued to live
at the Harrison Avenue house, but with
advancing age she became feeble and was
seldom seen in the streets. Some thought
she had boarded wealth. and children would
cry "Miser," when she passed At this
she would fly into a passion and menace
them with the cane she always carried.
She was last seen alive on Friday, and
tenants in the same house started an in
vestigation yesterday. Herman Doneke OF
No. 81 Berry Street, who knew her. climbed
into her loom BY fire escape and found
her dead on the floor. Apparently she had
died from heart disease.
The police of the Clymer Street station
took charge of books found in the room
showing that in the Williamsburg Savings
Bank she had about $50, 900 to her credit.
Besides this she owned some real estate.

CURE FOR EPILEPSY.
Discovery of DIR. Huber. of the Uni
Ncrsity of Michigan.

Ann Arbor Mich, March 15.-New
honor has just been brought to the medi-
cal faculty of the University Of Michigan
by the results of the research OF DIR. G.
Karl Huber.
For a long time it has been al undeni-
able physiological fact that the nerves
control the blood vessels of the body, but
the best psychologists have always Ques-
toned the existence of any nerves con-
trolling the blood vessels of the brain.
1t remained for DR.. Huber to make this
important discovery, which will cause
number of pages in the standard works on
anatomy and physiology to be torn out.
At present, the methods of treating the
cases which this discovery will affect are
empirical, but the fact which DIR. Huber
has given to the world will put r,edieal
knowledge and treatment of such COM
plants as aropleXy, epilepsy, and various
forms of headache on logical and scen-
tiic basis. Thus it is made possible for
intelligent experiments to be made with a
view OF improving the present methods OF
treatment of the above diseases.
DR.. Huber has prepared an article on his
discovery which will be published ,Ihis
month.

YARN FIRMS TO COMBINE.
Preliminary Meeting Held at PhiIa-
IeluIia.


Philadelphia Pa. March 15-Fifty rep
resentatives of the biggest worsted yarn
spinning firms in the United States met at
the Manufacturers Club last night and
took the initial steps toward forming one
big corporation. 1t is proposed. if pan
submitted at the meeting carries. to capi-
talize the organization at $50 600, 600. A
committee was appointed to visit the con-
Germs not represented and sound them as
to their views upon the matter.
The promoters of the combination are
Stoddard, Hoserick. Richord & Co.. one of
the largest banking firms in Boston; Kid
der, Peabody & Co.. also of Boston, and
J. P. Morgan e. Co, of New York. S.
Walker Jayne represented Stoddard
Hoserick. Richards G. Co. at the meeting.
Among the other firms represented were
George Campbell & Co., Tracey Worsted
Mills. Wolstenholme, Sons & Co., A. ].
Cameron and the Phoenix Mills Company,
of this city; the Grundy Worsted Mills, of
Bristol; Union WSrsted Mills, of Consho-
hocken Springfield Worsted Mills, OF Bor-
dentown, N. j.; Howland, Croft, Sons &
Co., and the Highland Worsted Mills, Of
Camden, and the Griswold Worsted Mills.
of Darby.
george campbell, or the nrm Of George
Campbell Co., was made chairman of
the meeting, and William Anderson, of the
Phoenix Mills Company, secretary The
Boston people came forward with a plan
advocating the $50 600, 900 capitalization. Of
this amount it was proposed to have s25.-
900, 900 in cumulative preferred stock, pay
ing Z per cent, and $25, ,000, 900 in common
stock. In paying for a purchased plant
the owner, it is proposed will be given
the option OF accepting cash in full for the
appraised value of his works or preferred
stock in the corporation to the same value
In the latter event the seller is to receive
an equal amount of common stock in the
new company.
Not single manufacturer of woolen
cloth was represented, and this is taken to
mean that should the combination be
formed the cloth men will form counter
trust in self-protection. The latter are al
ready spinning a portion of the yarn used
in their looms, and it would not be much
trouble, it was claimed, for them to put in
more spindles and make the balance.
For three hours the meeting was very
warm and at the end a compromise was
expected in the appointment of commit
tee to sound the yarn manufacturers not
represented and at the same time to see
the owners of the mills it is proposed to
absorb with the view Of obtaining an esti-
mate price on the plants Mr.. Campbell
was made chairman of the committee. The
other members are F. S. Coffin, w. R..
Cordingly. John Dearnley and William
Browne The committee will report at a
meeting to be held within month.

STRONG WOMEN DEPLoRED.
Dissertation of a Sister AgaIns
Feminine Mascularity

Dissertation of "a Sister Against
Feminine Mascularity.
New York, March 15.-Muscular woman
and spindle-shanked man and the signs
they point to received the attention of the
Society for Political Study at its meeting
yesterday. There was no symposium of
cussion had cleared away, but if actions
count for anything the many women pres
ent were fixed in the view that femininity
might be as strong physically as it pleas
ed and the male creature assume the struc-
tural outline of tea table and the world
would be no worse off.
1t was Mrs Madeline d. Morton who took
up the cause of the womanly woman
against the muscular one. When she left
the platform it was amid silence that did
more to emphasize the dissent from her
opinion than dozen papers would have
done.
Mrs. Morton drew several parallels and
made number of deductions that must
have made less fixed opposition waver.
Beware lest woman becomes too mascu-
line she said. I'VE all think ourselves
new women, but there were much newer
women in the first century.
History shows what happened to them.
AS they gained in masculine attributes
men sunk into effeminacy until the inevi-
table revulsion came. 1t is marked on
every page of the story of the closing days
of the Roman Empire. 1t bodies no good
when on every hand one man see the mus
cular young woman 'escorted-what irony
in the WORLDLY the spindle shanked young
man. 1t is a bad sign. Surely it points
as clearly the threatened degeneration of
our race as such signs did in the time of
| Nero. Woman. once without rights is in
the hour of her victory grasping too much.
Rights have been repealed before, and
may be again
The uncomplimentary treatment of the
gentler sex by some of the early Christians
was the text taken by Miss Stevens. St.
| Paul and Luther particularly had been mar
row in their views, she said, and the only
way for a woman TO cling to her rights
| in those days was for her to remain single.
Mrs. Margaret Ravenhill told of the
struggle back in the sixties" TO have the
law of New Jersey changed so that a wo-
man had some rights over the fate of her
children. DR. Mary Walker came to one
of those meetings she said. and tried
to work against Mrs Stanton and the rest.
Give me your card. she said. Indeed |
won't, l answered. You might pretend
you knew me- Oh, You're only jealous,
she replied What Off I asked. Surely
not of your trousers; I've never felt any
desire to wear them"

SUDDEN DEATHS IN ATLANTA,
Three Prominent Citizens Expire on
the Same Day.

the Same Day.
Atlanta, Ga, March 10. Three of At
lanta's most prominent citizens expired
yesterday. AS a singular coincidence all
were named John and all died unexpect
edly.
Col. John 7. Glenn, former mayor of this
city and one of the leading lawyers at this
bar, died at 5 a. m. of apoplexy He re-
tired in his usual good health and was
stricken while asleep and passed away
without regaining consciousness Colonel
Glenn was former law partner of ex-Sec-
retary CT the Interior Hoke Smith, and was
recently candidate for the Fifth circuit
judgship, having supported Mckinley dur
ing the last campaign.
Another death of equal suddenness was
that of Judge John Berry, until recently
on the city bench. He was a young man.
but prominent as a lawyer and jurist. He
had been ill but short while, and his
death was unexpected.
The third death to shock Atlantians was
that of Col. John Faith, one of the pioneer
citizens and perhaps the largest real estate
owner in this section. Few people knew
he was i'll.
