HALF-cENT FUNERALS.
Buffalo Will Investigate the Disposal of
Its Pauper Dead.

BUFFALO, March Am investigation
of the morgue will soon be under way.
The alleged traffic in dead bodies which
has been limited at and implied in dozen
different ways ever since the arrest of
Coroner Boiler will, il is said, call for a
continued and thorough investigation.
The fact that County Undertaken Eek
hert has a contract to care for all the
bodies at the rate of half cent a body,
furnishing collins and burying them also
for this insignificant sum, is believed to
call for another reason than the state
ment that he does 1t because he secures a
portion of the orders for funerals OF those
bodies that are claimed.
There is decided movement among the
members OF the board OF supervisors to
prevent traffic in cadevers 1t is hoped

MESSENGER BOY TOO FAST.
A New York Mercury and a Stage in
Collision.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Something real
ly wonderful and amazing happened in
Fifth Avenue yesterday. A messenger
boy and a Fifth Avenue stage ran into
each other. By what strange freak of
circumstance the two slowest things on
earth came into collision is a problem
worthy of a Newton, Huxley, or a Tyn-
dali; but it will probably never be
solved.
A messenger boy, 1t is well known, is
a trifie faster than a snail Fifth Ave
nue. stages have been known to move as
rapidly as the tortoise did when he out
footed the hare in that tabled cross
country rum II has never been gain
said that messenger boys and Fifth Ave
nue. stages really do move. That has
been proven by the ultimate arrival of
messages and passengers at their objec-
tive points. The seeming miracle, there
fore, lies in the fact that they moved
with sufficient force to come together.
Another well-known attribute of each
is their assumption OF the right OF way
over anything but fire apparatus and am
balances. 1t is this probably that led
to the accident. Those who saw the col
lision say that the messenger boy started
to cross the street when the stage was
about one hundred yards distant. They
came together half an hour efterward
The boys collarbone was fractured,
and he was taken to Flower Hospital

MRS. MAY HANNA DECLINES.
Refuses to Run on Democratic Ticket for
School Offices.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March Mrs. May
Harrington Hanna. divorced wife of Dan
r. Hanna. son of Senator M A. Hanna,
disappointed many of her friends and
thousands who have been her loyal sup
porters on the Democratic ticket when
she called at the headquarters Of the
women's committee yesterday and left a
signed statement that she would not be-
come candidate for school director or
for membership on the school council.
Her boom for either position was
launched week ago, when it was ofli-
cially announced that she would identify
herself with the movement to enlist the
Democratic women OF the city in the
next political battle. The statement over
her signature is as follows:
VIII yoa kindly officially contradict
the various rumors to the effect that !

on the Democratic ticket2 As a member
of your executive committee | shall con
tinue to DO all in my power TO assist in
electing that ticket but have never been
and will not now be a candidate for any
position on said ticket
Il would suggest the name OF Mrs Al
fred Whitaker as woman. in my judg-
ment. well qualified in every way for
membership in the school council, and il
urge all of my friends to support her
most heartily Cordially yours.

The Republican managers were greatly
relieved when the statement was made
public.

MRS. SCHWAB BELOVED.
Wife of the Steel Man Proves She Has
Heart of Pity.

PARIS, March Mrs. Schwab. wife oil
the steel man, played Lady Bountiful dur
ing her recent visit to Paris.
While there she learned of the distress
full circumstances under which live many
struggling American girls and boys VINO
are studying arr or music and so gave to
Mrs. Arthur Valois, wife of the Chevalier
Valois, an American lawyer, handsome
sum to relieve these students. Madame
Valois had no difficulty in finding needy
subjects for Mrs. Schwabs charity. She
found American girls shivering with cold
and hunger in the Latin quarter.
Among others she found a Philadelphia
girl of a well-known family in extreme
want Nine. Valois says that some cases
which were relieved by Mrs. Schwab
money recall the days OF Abellard when
poor students remained abed because they
had loaned their coats to others TO enable
them TO attend lectures. The name oil
Schwab will long be remembered by the
Americans of the Latin quarter.

LAST OF THE BOOTHS.
Body Brought From New York and
Placed in Public Vault

BALTIMORE, March 2.-The body OF
DR.. Joseph A. Booth brother of Edwin
Booth and of John Wilkes Booth. who
died at his home in New York on Febru-
airy 26, was placed in the public vaui, in
Greenmount Cemetery yesterday afternoon
in the presence of a few friends Later
the remains will be buried in the family
lot in Greenmount.
One OF the attendants at the funeral
was Mr. Samuel W. Glenn, the veteran
Baltimore actor, who knew every member
OF the Booth family and acted with them
in this and other cities. Mr.. Glenn knew
DR.. Joseph Booth when the latter was
treasurer of Booths Theatre, in New
York, and frequently met him afterward.
Mr. Glenn described the doctor as being a
man of pleasing personality.
He said DR.. Booth had told him that he
acted small parts at the Holiday Street
Theatre in Baltimore. but did not take 10
acting as a profession, and after his serv-
ice as treasurer OF Booths Theatre in
New York he devoted himself to the prac-
tice OF medicine.
Mr.. John Reilly, the old time Baltimore
restaurant keeper at the northeast corner
of Fayette and Holiday Streets, who was
intimately acquainted with the Booths,
said yesterday:
Il knew DIR. Booth. but there were not
great many people In Baltimore who
did for he was the least known Of the
four brothers. and to the general public
only the three actors were known. DIR.
Booth was more like his father, Junius
Brutus Booth, sr., than any OF the other
brothers. and the last time Edwin Booth
was in my place he remarked that his
brother Joseph bore the most striking re-
semblance to an excellent old picture OF
his father that have in my place.
Il do not think that DR.. Booth ever ap-
peared on the stage, and If he did II was
only at the performances arranged by
boys, the admission fee to which was or
3 cents A"
Another gentleman, well acquainted
with the family, said that DR.. Booth had
some of the eccentricities which marked
the family, but not TO such marked de-
gree.
Edwin and Junius Brutus Booth, 1r., are
buried In Auburn Cemetery, near Boston.
while Junius Brutus Booth. sr., his wife.
MrR. John Sleeper Clarke asia Booth)
and John Wilkes Booth are buried In

Lookout.

WILMINGTON. Del, March 2.-Suspi-
cion of other boarders in the house at
which Mr.. and Mrs Curtis Lewis" made
their home, in this city, yesterday led
to the arrest of Lewis. on a charge OF
larceny of $3.50 from E. b. Decke, grocer
of Chicago.
The failure OF a six-year- boy to
call Lewis papa" not only led to his ar
rest. but it revealed that Mrs. Lewis" is
no other than Mrs. J. B. Wilson, of Chi
cago. who had deserted her husband and
family to be with Lewis. They arrived
in this city few weeks ago, and Sc
cured board at Ninth and West Streets.
Some of the neighbors observed that the
little boy always called the woman mann

papa"
Police Chief Black was notified and
by communicating with the Chicago au-
thorities he learned that Lewis was
wanted en- a charge OF larceny. The chief

took Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis and the child
to the police station.
a wife and two children in Chicago, but
they had marital troubles, and he and
Mrs. Wilson decided to depart together.
He wished to get rich quickly and took
the money missed by Grocer Decke in
small amounts, with which he played the
horse races. but was unable to pick the
winners. He says he is willing to return
to Chicago without requisiton papers. and
will be given into the custody of de-
tectives from that city.
Mrs. Lewis" admitted that she was not
the wife of Lewis, but says she is the
wife of J. B. Wilson, a photographer. She
and Lewis have long been friends, and
when she and her husband quarreled she
left her husband and two children at home
and with her six-year- boy Joined

Charles Adams Gets Idea
From Last Man" Banquet.
Suggests That a Benefit Feature May
Be Provided for
Members.

NEW YORK, March 2.-In these days Of
dining clubs. many of which have no raj
son d'etre, save the gathering of good
fellows to exchange the pleasantries that
have SO much TO do with making life
agreeable. Charles Frederick Adams,
himself noted after dinner speaker, has
hit upon a novel idea.
Mr.. Adams a few days ago proposed the
idea of organizing dining club, all the
members of which were born in 1851. He
has suggested that the club be known as
the Brotherhood of the Connati of 1851. "
1T seems to me-" said Mr.. Adams,
that this basis of fellowship, the be-
ing so nearly of an age as connativity
In that one year implies, constitutes a
natural bond OF sympathy and mutual
interest, while at the same time tending
to make the various brothers chances
of life nearly the same.
To Hold Annual Dinners.
'on fixed anniYersary-possibly New
Years eve, to see the old year out-the
or lodges, should the brotherhood become
too large to meet: conveniently in one
place. = Il
There might be a benefit feature, to
be provided byepurchasing, with an mi
tiation fee of, say, 81 each, interests in
a tontine annuity fund in which only
persons born in 1881 can invest, but that
is a matter to be determined by the
brothers when they organize.
Beyond an initiation fee no expense
would be involved except a moderate
annual assessment for the actual cost of
the anniversary dinner.
Il should be glad to get the names and
addresses OF .clubable' men born in 1851.
with view to their possibly joining US. -

niversary dinner of the Last Man
Brotherhood" in Philadelphia that Mr..
Adams drew his inspiration.
This association was formed by thirty
three men connected with morning news
papers at a dinner on February 16, 1856,
In Barney Fields old restaurant at Ninth
and Arch Streets, Philadelphia. 1t was
then agreed that there should be year
ly banquet. AT the first dinner bottle
of Madeira wine was corked up. placed
In a basket labeled and kept for the last

SUICIDE OF INDIAN SUIT0R.
Scorned by Red Princess, Bear-Afraid-
of-Wolf Kills Himself.

HAVRE Mont, March Red Blanket
and several Cree Indians who have been
on a pilgrimage to the Bear Paw Noun
tains have returned with the news Of the
tragic suicide of Bear Afraid Wolf, a
full-blood Sioux Indian, who killed HIM
self with d shotgun.
Indian tradition records but few in
stances of self-destruction.
Chided by the members of his tribe and
rejected by Moonbeam, princess of the
much despised Cree Indian Nation. the ar
dent wooer left his tribes camp.
When found his body was frozen. Near
by were the carcasses of his two ponies,
which he killed before taking his own
life, that he might ride on their spirits
to the happy hunting grounds.
The body was brought into camp and
for longer than a week the Indians have
been in a great state of excitement.
According to the custom of Western red
men, they inlict cruel and barbarous pun
ishment upon their bodies during the lam
entation over their dead.
For week these practices have been
in progress at the various Cree camps
in the vicinity of Havre.
The prominence of the dead chief by
birth and that of his squaw, a grand
daughter of Sitting Bull. together with
the sensational and unusual character of
his taking off, has prolonged the lam
entation until the Crees all through the
Bear Paw Mountains are greatly exer-
cised over the affair, and the medicine
men who have been consulted predict the
death of Bear-Afraid- Of Wolf as meaning
that the Great Father will soon give the
Cree Indians land of their own.
The dead chief was a descendant OF
White Bear, "a famous Sioux, after whom
White Bear Lake, near st. Paul, was
named.

tains in June, 1890. with much pomp.
