COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Sad End of a Prominent Repub-
lican Politician.

George Wallace Delamater, once
candidate for governor of Pennsyl-
yania and who served as State sena-
tor from Crawford county from 1887
to 1890, committed suicide Wednes-
day by shooting in his Office at Pitts
burg, Pa.
Grief over the death of his father.
George B. Delamater. at MeadVllle'
Pa, on May s, and the sudden death
of his son, James Scott Delamater, IN
June at Connellsville, Pa, is believed
to be the cause of the suicide.
Shirley P. Austin, son-in-la",
who took charge of the body, declar-
ed that the dead mans affairs are in
no way involved and that he mad
nothing to worry about. Delamater
was connected with the Prudential
Life Insurance company in Pittsburg
and leaves a comfortable fortune TO
his family, being heavily insured.
Senator Delamater has not been ac-
tive in State politics recently, but
over a decade ago he welded a great
influence in political circles. FOLLOW
ing his service as State senator, ne
became the Republican nominee LOT
governor through the support OF
TTnited States Senator Matthew Stan
ley Quay This was in 1880.
The Democratic candidate was
Robert E. Pattison and the campaign
was one of the most bitterly fought
in Pennsylvania Cor many years. Pat-
tison won after desperate battle
Int only because Allegheny county
turned against Delamatsr.

WALKING TIGERS
Caught in Charleston by Very
Peculiar Accident.
A Woman Fell And the Crash of
Glass and the Flowing of Boose
Was Coincidental.

Charleston is after the blindtiger:
and many of them are run In. The
Post says the rural police think thai
in the arrest of Sylvia Washington
Julia Davis and Amelia Bryan
caught last Thursday near the phos.
phate mines they have practically
broken up the business of the fea.
male blind tigers. These feamale
tigers have a queer place to carry the
liquor they sell. They line their
skirts with half pint bottles of cheap
booze and sell it by the drink or by
in bulk.
The woman were committed to jail
ThIrsday b. Magistrate Behrens, in
default of bond of $500, on a charge
of violating the dispensary laws of
the county.
The system of booze selling was
discovered in peculiar way. One
of the women the other day had a
particularly large supply Of whiskey
concealed under her skirts, in the
lining. 1t was contained in half
pint bottles.
She was getting along swimming
ly, and was doing good business
without much apparent fear of dis
covery as to the methods of carrying
the contraband, but unfortunately,
she was not so sure footed as some
mules are said to be, and tripped up
among the rocks in the region of the
Charleston Neck.
When the feamale tiger fell, there
was crash and a breaking Of glass,
while her skirts took on sickly
drenched appearance The cat was
out of the bag, SO to speak, for it was
demonstrated that a living barroom
had been wrecked, as 'twere, and the
police were made wise to brand new
wrinkle in the business.
They kept their eyes peeled and as
result three arrests were made of
fea1hale tigers. Sylvia Washington
and Julia Davis were captured near
the rock fields of the Charleston Min
ing Company, and Amelia Bryan was
placed under arrest at Fettaresse.
The feamale tiger is really some
thing brand new. and the skirt trick
is another new thing in tiger circles.
For some time this liquor peddling
business seems to. have been in pro-
gress. 1t is though that from now on
it will cease to find favor among the
damsels who were formerly engaged
in the business.

SHE TOOK Them IN.
A Clever Woman Dupes New
York and Montreal.
Poses in Canada as Daughter of
House of Lichester-Runs Up Bill
But Leaves Diamonds to Settle.

A dispatch from Montreal, Canada
says Mrs. Eva Fox-Strangways, tn
English governess who posed in New
York as the daughter of the house o
Leicester, and run board bills d
prominent hotels, casned woEtnlcs
cnecks, and borrowed literally from
Miss Louise Kard McAlister, tht
daughter of Ward McAIister, hac
rather a picturesque career wh.le she
was in that city.
Her methods there were some.
what similar to those employed in
New York. She came with letter OF
introduction to Sir William Van
Horne, and through him was intro.
duced TO-. the expensive English set
Her boast. of close relationship to
what she called the proudest family
in England gave her an immediate
entree to the best people in Mon
treal.
She was introduced to the firm OF
Henry Morgan & Co., and they were
only too glad to serve her. She or
dered many beautiful gowns and fol-
lowing her usual custom, forgot to
pay for them. She put up at the
Place Viger, and nothing in the ho-
tel was roo good for her AS the
daughter of an English earl, she re-
ceived the most fattering attention
from the proprietor down to the bell
boys.
Mrs. FoX-Strangeways found it pro-
ftable and pleasant to pose as an in
valid She engaged one of the most
prominent physicians in Montreal.
and he visited her regularly up to
the time of her departure. which was
rather hasty She did not pay him
for his professional services. but bor-
bowed a sum of money from him
with which she was to have paid her
passage to England. cher friends hav-
ing blundered in some way and mis-
directed the draft, probably sending
it to Melbourne.
Meanwhile, she had developed an
exceptionally liking for champagne.
1t was, she said, ordered by the doc
tor. and there were other lnvalids in
the hotel at the time who wanted to
have the same doctor. During one Of
the spells" when sne was not as Ill
as usual, she told the story of being
engaged to be married to wealthy
Australian, whose son, she said, was
at that time student at McGill col
lege.
Sure enough. youth was found
who was from Australia, and his
name was the same as that which she
had mentioned He visited her daily,
even when she was too i'll to be seen
by any one else, except the doctor.
the bill was running up at
an alarming rate, and nothing com,
ing in. Her promises were many. out
not one was kept. Her hotel bill f.
nally ran up to $1,000.
The end of all was seizure upon
her goods, including her diamonds.
and these were advertised for s;lle.
They sold for fair sum. and it Is
said that in the end the Place Viger
was not heavy loss. 1t was only
after she had gone that many proml-
nent persons felt how badly they had
been taken in.
