Very Like a Suicide Club
a41 Robert ST.

NEW YORK, June 13.-George
Wagner, wealthy German resident of
Bridgeport, Conn.,-committed suicide by
shooting himself with a revolver at
the Morton house last night Mr.
Wagner was the moving spirit of 4
club of well known German residents,
first organized as a "13" club. Later
on one after another of the congeniaI
spirits began to die by suicide. That
gave rise to the report that there was
suicide club in Bridgeport, an allie
cation which was stoutly denied by the
Germans who made Wagner's place
their headquarters. 1t is noteworthy
that practically all of the men who
were formerly identified with that or
ganization have died by their own act.
There is said to be one member left,
who is a jeWeler here.

many valuable presents in silver,
cut-glass and china. A reception
followed the marriage, after which
refreshments were served and dane
ing was in order as the old year
went out. After the return from
their honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs.
Wamsley will make their home at

gagged In the oyster business.

| A most delightful and novel en-.
tertainment for the children was
given by Mr. and Mrs. c. L. John

Masters Guy Herbert,

We cannot give the children too
much praise for the excellent man
ner in which each and every one
performed their parts after only one
rehearsal.
Misses Agnes and Marthalene
Johnson delighted all present with
beautiful music on the piano and vi
olin.
Another most enjoyable feature of
the evening was the two laughable
recitations by Misses Aggie and
Minnie Herbert, entitled The Meet
ing at Bells Corners" and Uncle
Ied's Courtship." which they rem
dered In fine style, much to the mer-
riment of the company.
After this all were invited to the
dining room where a table laden
with all kinds OF fruits, nuts, can
dies, lemonade and cakes was ere
pared. and we think ample justice
vas done by all.

After wishing our host and hostess
q Happy New Year" and thanking
them for an evening Of rare pleas
ure, for what delights us more than
TO see the children made happy, we
departed for our homes With the
children's voices still ringing in our
ears.
o, Christmas bells, Christmas trees,
Christmas joys on land and seas,
Unto ev'ry heart there must
Come unto Christmas time, we trust,
Sweetest joys the year can bring,
So, in gladness, now we sing,

Christmas joys on land and seas.
