ELOpER A SUICIDE.
Mrs. Daubsnsr Killed Herself Because
Of Remorse.
Husband and Man With Whom She Fled
Settle Funeral Details

New York, April "a strange story
Is related in connection with the sui
eide of woman known as Minnie Rem
ten. In September last Mrs. Minnie
Daubener left her husband and eloped
with a boarder named John Renten.
Daubener did not try to win her back.
Yesterday he heard that she had COM
mitted suicide having become remorse-
ful over her conduct. He Immediate
ly went to Renten's house and there
found that Renten had placed the body
of the woman in a coffin on which was
"A plate inscribed Minnie Renten."
The funeral had been set for p. m.
Don't bury her that way" said
Dauebner, pointing TO the plate. The
undertaken explained that another
plate could not be engraved In time for
the funeral. Renten was unwill ng to
put II of. The undertaken suggested
a compromise-to go 10 the coroner's
office and see what could be done. The
two men agreed and together they rode
down town To abide by whatever de-
cision he should give. 1t was decided
that the dead woman should nc buried
as Mrs. Daubener. The two men shook
hands as they parted and the funeral
was put off "a hours to enable a plate
TO be engraved bearing the name Mrs.
Minnie Daubener."

battle: Twenty yards to the left man
Is lying pressed fiat against the ground.
He is very much the ground color. and
the occasional whirls of dust over him
have aided the disguise. There are lit
tie tufts of withered scrub in which 70
hide him, though but few Inches high.
The sun has been blazing on his back
and the sand about him for seven
hours, and the veldt waves confusedly
I'm the glare Of the heat
The man on the left feels gingerly
for the tin bottle which lies under his
left elbow. his fingers spread over ITS
felt covering. and give Ii a gentle
snake. The shake Is repeated and he
begins to draw the bottle slowly under
him. keeping his body rigidly stiff. The
job is a long one. because the bottle
strap catches in his accoutrements. and
he dare not move to free VI. When he
has II, at last, beneath him. he begins
to turn over, as slowly as he has done
all else. He lifts his foot few inches
TO balance himself, and the next in
stant there is a spit of dust from the
sand BESIDE him not much more than
an arms length away.

Roosevelt VIII Try to Convince
Croker That Bryan Cannot
BE Elected.

New York, April 9.-With reference
to the sailing on Saturday OF Robert B.
Roosevelt, the World today says that
the chief purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt's
trip to Europe is to have talk with
Richard Croker.
According to the World Mr.. Roose-
welt thinks the party has a good chance
of winning the presidency and also
OF electng a governor. He has repeat
edly announced his belief that the re-
nomination Of Colonel Bryan and the
re-affirmation OF the Chicago platform
will result in another Overwhelming
defeat. When he meets Mr.. Croker ne
will inform him that the. delegation
from this state to- the National con-
vention should not be instructed to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, but should go to Kansas
City unpledged. Mr. Croker will also
be told that the candidacy OF Admiral
Dewey has changed the political situa-
tion and made IL more interesting and
doubtful. He took with him hundreds
of clippings from newspapers express
ing the opinion that Bryan has no
chance OF election.

J NO LONGER A CATHOLIC.
Mrs. Dewey, Wife Of the Admiral
Said 10 Have Left tho Church.


washington. April 9.-Mrs. Mildred
Dewey, wife of Aomiral Dewey, has
left the Catholic church, which she
Joined a few years ago, and in which
her marriage 10 the admiral was ccle-
brated. '.~-- $50
The report that Mrs. Dewey has de-
-cIded to- hereafter attend st. Johns
Episcopal church was discussed eagerly
vt the latter church yesterday morning,
nyhere it was. expected she would at
tend services with the admiral.
Admiral Dewey, when the report was
referred TO him. said:
.sAs TO the question of whether or aot
Mrs. Dewey has left the Roman Catho-
Hc church and viii hereafter attend the
Episcopal church with me, wall you
kindly saw that I have no statement
whatever to make in this respect?
The admiral admitted. however, that
Mrs. Dewey had some weeks ago def-
uitely given up her pew IN 81. Paul
Catholic church.
That Mrs. Dewey has determined TO
change her faith Is, nevertheless, true,
and the knowledge of 1t was whispered
about from one TO the other at St.
Johns church yesterday morning.
All through the service there was
rubdued excitement perVading the
greater part Of the congregation. Every
r.me an usher passed down an aisle
seating the crowd of strangers the reg
ufar new holders leaned forward TO see
81 the newcomers would include the ad-
mirals wife.
But the admirals pew was vacant
throughout the service. Not even the
admiral was there. AT the time OF her
marriage, Mrs. Dewey. wishing 10 have
she ceremony as quiet as possible made
the stipulation that no one should be
present at the ceremony outside OF
nheir own party.
AS IL turned out there were two per-
pons dn attendance, unknown either TO
the admiral or his Wife, and on this ac-
count there was considerable feeling.
Not Since her marriage has Mrs. Dewey
attended st. Paufs or any other Cath
olic church. 80 that her final leaving Is
not complete surprise TO her personal
friends. At the time of her conversion

ey was a pew holder in st. Johns.
