never die. If they had sufficient food,

would be no reason for their dying It

BODY MAY Be
THAT Of MRS.
HARTR|DGE

New York, Oct 23-The body OF a wom-
an of refined appearance found yesterday
floating i'm the East river answers in most
particulars the description OF Mrs. Clifford
w. Hartridge, the missing wife of Harry
*. Thaw's counsel, and friend The body
will be viewed today by a member of the
family TO determine IL 1t is Mrs. Hart
ridge.
Mrs. Leslie w. Russell. the missing
woman's mother. said last night at her
home that she was impressed with the
similarity OF the description of the body
I'm the Fordham morgue with that of her
daughter The only difference seems To be
that when she went away Mrs. Hart
ridge wore a black skirt. while the skirt
OF the woman found In the river. is a very
dark grey. The wife OF the lawyer could
be positively identified by mole behind
her right ear, but there is an abrasion be-
hind the right ear OF the body, which,
might have easily removed such a mark.
The woman's nails were manicured and
she bore every evidence OF having come
from good surroundings. Coroner Schwan-
necke said that the body might prove to
be Mrs. Hartridges She has been miss
ing 10 days.
Mrs Russell said last night that Mr..
Hartridge was under the care of physi-
clan and that IL would be impossible for
him to endeavor to make an identifica-
tion.

ber OF members and friends were in at

cal solo, Private Gardiner; musical selec-

Every one of the numbers on the pro-
gram was received with warm expressions
OF approval. Capt. Joseph II. Reilly told of
the present excellent condition of the
company and of the many interesting
plans the company had under considera-
tion. A most happy address was delivered
by ex-Sergt. Burns OF the crack Emmet
Guards of the 9th Massachusetts, Infantry.
Company Il is better known TO the older
residents of the city as the Meagher
Guards. No military company ever held
aAite a position in this state that the
Meagher Guards did in the days of their
prosperity some quarter of century ago.
They had won prizes for drills from some
of the best militia companies OF New
England. They were splendidly officered
and had an associate membership that
included the leading professional. busi-
ness men and mechanics OF Irish descent
who resided in this vicinity. Capt. Reii-
ly. "A most efficient drill master and the
present members OF the company are
working hard to put Company II back In
the commanding position II once held.
The preliminary work OF making IL a
splendid military organization is proved
10 have been well done from the fact that
II stood first at National Guard inspec-
tions last year Next month the company
will give "A drill at Bristol.
AS preliminary to forming veteran
association, a committee is preparing for
big banquet to be held in some hall
down street. IL is the intention of this
committee TO get about every one who
was connected with the Meaghers and
who is living interested i'm this project.
At the last meeting committee was
also appointed to arrange for grand
military ball which will probably be
held I'm Music hall.
