STRANGE ANTIPATHY OF
MOTHER TO DAUGHTER

Bablyon, L. Aug. 17.-(SpeciaD
THAT the existing marital tension in
the home of Egbert V. Strong momen-
tarily threatens to snap is the opinion
among those in position to know
the fixed determination of Capt
Egg" that after twenty years of fos-
remembering, his only daughter Mar
ion Goodale Strong, shall at last
assert her right to the word home, to
the best of his interpretation Fur
thermore, the gray-haired father is
prepared to abide by the consequen-
ceS.
Twenty-three years ago the present
wife of Egbert Strong, then heiress
to the wealth of the Goodales of the
east end of Long Island, fell in love
with Mr.. Strong as he handled the
reins of trotting horse on the track
of the tarck of the Riverhead Agri-
cultural Fair, and they were married
About three years later daughter
was born, but the mother appeared to
detest the baby from it's birth. AS
it gained in strength the antipathy of
the mother to her baby deepened, and
to solve a difficult problem Mr.. Strong
was glad of the opportunity to put
his girl in the care of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. j. Hunt of Johannesburg, n. j.
Repeated attempts have been made
since then to overcome the mothers
strange dislike, for her daughter, but
without avail. On the other hand
Mrs. Strong is devoted to her hus-
band. But now that he has taken
his stand, whether Mrs. Strong's love
for her husband will master her an
tipathy to her daughter is question.
1t is generally believed, however, that
her determination not to yield will
persist In that event. Mr.. Strong
will endeavor to be both father and
mother to Marion

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 17.-(Spe-
ciaD-Louis Emerson Wheat, a ply
stefan, aged As years, was found

Diamond streets, in one of the most
pretentious residential sections of the

Beside the body, which lay upon
a couch, two women were found
praying for his resurrection and
muttering strange incantations,
though physicians say the condition
of the corpse indicated that the man
had been dead at least As hours.

RESTAURANT WHERE
NO WATERS ANNOY

New York, Aug. 17.-(SpeciaD Al
ter the horseless carriage, the play
erless piano, and all the other less
things that modern invention has
devised New York is to have a
waiterless restaurant, and, of all
places in the world, it is to be on the
site of the old Saranac Hotel, in
Broadway.
John H. Murray, backed by a syn
dictate of wealthy tobacco manufac-
lures, has obtained twenty-years
lease of the building, and his plans
are elaborate and unique.
Mr.. Murray, who has other restau-
rants in this city, has been trying fol-
a long time to think out some scheme
to do away with the time-honored
nuisances of having a waiter stand
at your elbow while you are discuss
ing private affairs with friend He
thinks he has it at last. In new
restaurant all one will have to dc
will be to give the order upon enter
ing. Then the most intimate and
confidential conversations may be
pursued with immunity from the eager
ears of the servitors, for at the end OF
each course all one will have to dc
will be to press button.
Then, in Arabian Nights fashion
the center of the table will sink
through the floor into a serving room
beneath and presently will rise again
with the new dishes The table has
been patened by Mr. Murray, who
has just returned from Europe. where
he searched for ideas, and the plan
will be made practicable by having the
kitchen next to the top floor, but con
nected with the serving rooms on al
the other floors by means of a dumb.
waiter system operated by compress
ed air.
Except for the top floor, which
will contain bachelor apartments, the
building will be used exclusively fol
restaurant purposes, and the floors
will be SO arranged that private din
ner parties for four or more persons
or banquets for as many as twelve
hundred can be provided at almost :
moments notice.
