Her Life story.

..Thev have prosecuted and ntsrepre-
scnted me, aud / think | might as well
sci myself right at this time as at an
other. 1 will tell you the story Of my
life.
II was born in Massachusetts thirty
two years ago. Cotton Mather was one
OF my ancestors. and | am related L"
some proud old New England families.
My mother died when | was young and
my father married again. Unpleasant
family relations grew out of this. II
at the age of eighteen l left home ana
went to Paris, where ] met Cunning
Bedford.
He was a gay man. lie followed the
races and played faro bank with a per-
sistency that was quite astonishing. l
loved him and he loved me, We went
together from place to ~place-lovers ana
chums-and as time went on he grew to
leel for me a respect quite foreign To
our relations. At last. in 1895. we were
married In Paris at ais request.
"Of course, his family objected. but
finally Mr.. Bushe gav formal consent
to our marriage and we came to the
United States and were married over
again In Washington. Proof of these
marriages Is ~indisputaole.
Now we come to the baby. Both of
us were p~assionateIy fond of children.
On three different occasions we thought
our lives would be blessed by a little
one. but each time we We're disap-
pointed. When we came to New York
late last fall we again had hopes.
His Health Breaks.
"While in New York Mr.. Bedford led
the same sort of life he had led in
Paris. He would sit up all night in a
hot room playing poker and then go
out into the chill air without an over
coat. A heavy cold set in. consumption
developed and we had to hasten back
to France.
by a provision of the viii of the
elder Cunning Bedford the estate was
to go to other relatives provided the
son died without lawful issue. The
word lawful appears in the will and
denotes That Mr.. Bedford knew his son
quite well.
Mr., Bushe and Mr.. Bedford knew
that I was about to be delivered OF n
child. At their request 1 went to Eng
land for the birth in order to avoid the
French law, which would have made
the child subject to CONSUMPTION for
army service II 1t should prove to be a
male. The child was born dead.
"When l returned to Paris my hus-
band was very III. Few knew that the
ihild was dead. He wanted to provide
for me.

UNDECIDED
ABOUT LAW.
County Board of Elections Did
not Appoint Election Off,
GERS Yesterday.
OPINIONS DIFFER.

The new election law is causing
trouble in Middlesex. The County
Board of Elections failed to name the
election officers yesterday because of
some doubt as to the Interpretation Of
the act. 1t was claimed that the
official instructions furnished the
board with the printed opinions OF
the Attorney General as to the time
the new election officers commence
their duties.
DR.. Suydam. the secretary of the
board, held that the board was bound
to go according to Its printed IN
structions and he did not think that
there could be any donbt about their
Interpretation. The instructions plain
Iy state that the election board holds
over until September and that they
shall perform the duties of the board
ND to that time. The new law states
that the election officers shall be APP
pointed on September IL and the
Attorney General has advised Hudson
county that they look after the regis
tration and election, and that the old
board does not hold over. The board
decided to wait, upon the advice OF
Oliver Kelly, until the Attorney Gen
eral makes a written opinion, which
he is expected to do very shortly.

said it reached Il velocity of nearly 10
knots. The sea, calm all day, was
boiling furiously in less than five min
