absolutely nothing to worry about, eX-
cept that she believed she was suffering
from tuberculosis. which physicians

Mrs. Schiller ended her life. She had
been dead some time when the husbah 1

cording to DR.. Bradford w. Giveans, of
10 Grove street. north.
Schiller left the house as usual yes
terday morning, kissing his wife good
by as was his custom. She seemed to
be perfectly happy and said she was
going to visit her sister.
When Mr. Schiller returned to the
house he went to the rear door, as was
his custom. 1t was locked. He went
to the front door and, having no key,
rang the bell, but received no response,
so he rang the bell summoning the &C.
cupants from the second floor and a
young man let him in. There was a
strong odor of gas in the hall and he
rushed to the cellar where he obtained
a stepladder which was placed against
second-story window. In this way
Schiller entered the house.
He found his wife lying on a couch
In small alcove room off the dining
room, which is furnished as a "den"
A tube attached to gas jet was in her
mouth, and the gas was still escaping
After DR.. Giveans had pronounced
the woman past human aid the police
were notified, and Deputy County Ply
sician Muta was summoned. With the
police he made an investigation, and
after pronouncing 1t a case of suicide
granted a permit for burial.
Mrs. Schiller was 36 years old. Her
husband Is eleven years her Junior
While returning from work yester-
day, Mr.. Schiller said today, he read
about the double suicide of Mr. and
Mrs. Hacker. He couldn't understand,
he said, why he paid so much atten-
ton to the details of the double trag-
edy until he reached home and found
that his wife had taken her life.
Arrangements are being made to hold
the funeral services on Sunday after
noon.

CORDOvA A MENTAL
WRECK AND IN NEED
OF PECUN|ARY HELP
Julia Bovine Prevented from
Keeping Jersey City Tryst
with UnfrOcked Pastor.
Especial to the Evening Star.l

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-KePt
from the young woman he loves by her
parents, pennIIess and deserted by his
friends, J. Frank Cordovn, recently re-
leased from the New Jersey State prison
nj Trenton, is In this city, complete
nervous wreck.
The unfrocked minister has been un-
able to seek employment, and has re-
ceived little or no encouragement from
the many persons he has talked with.
"Unless there Is some relief, | am
afraid my mind will give way" he de-
clared to a friend here today.
1t is also feared that the compica-
tions that have arisen will terminate In
a more serious tragedy than has yer
entered the case.
For the past few years Cordova's ex-
istence has been one complete round of
misery" as he expresses 1t. To add TO
his discomfort J. ConoverI Bovine, the
father of Miss Julia Bovine, his "soul
mate" who has awaited his home-com-
ing with many heart throbs, has de-
clared that II Cardova should present
himself at their home, in North Asbury
Park, he viii shoot him on sight.
Mr.. Bovine Is himself a physical
wreck from the mental strain he has
been under for the past two weeks, and
is now under the care of a physician
This declaration is made by friend
dispatched to arrange a meeting be-
tween Cordova and Miss Bovine. It
was to this friend that Mr.. Bovine de-
clared that he would shoot Cordova.
This friend says that Miss Bovine,
with the Giving image" of Cordova,
her 3-year-old son, is being closely
guarded by members of the family.
She was willing TO confer with him, but
was kept from doing so.
The plan was for Cordova to go 70
Jersey City and meet Miss Bovine at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station.
Cordova went to Jersey City only to
suffer disappointment.
Lemuel Bovine, an uncle of the young
woman and member of the local detec-
tive bureau, has refused TO have any,
thing to do with Cordova.
Some of the clergynen who SYM
pathized with him have now abandoned
him. He has been unable to enlist the
aid and financial support of the friends
who promised TO secure him employ
ment in Greater New York on account
of his declaration that he would not
recognize his wife and family.
In fact his plans for the future have
been entirely dismantled by mis- open
statement that he would cling to Miss
Bovine.
1t is also believed by the Bovine fam
lily that Cordova's mind is deranged.
There Is talk here of calling a commits
sion TO inquire into his mental con-
dition.

STALL|NCS SEEMS
SURE TO Be NEXT
PILOT OF YANKEES
Report from Reliable Source
Says Farrell Has Decided
to Take Tigers Leader.
MANAGER HAS DENIED
REPORT AT OTHER TIMES
Says He Is Satisfied to Remain
in Newark-Has "Made"
Many Baseball Teams.

Newark may lose Manager George T.
Stallings, of the local Eastern League
baseball team. This report, coming
from a reliable source, has II that Frank
Farrell, owner of the New York Amer
leans, has decided upon Stallings as
the man to pilot the Yankees to victory
next season.
The tall Georgian has merely laughed
at similar reports in the past, but the
issue is rapidly coming to a head, and
as the position of manager of major
league club Is not one to be scoffed a.,
and If such an offer has actually come
to Stallings, ii seems only reasonable
that he may forsake the Newark Club
at the close Of the 1903 season.
Without Stallings the Newark Club
would probably be like a rudderless
ship on an open sea. The Tigers are
winning steadily. but 1t is very doubt
ful If the team, in the very Same make
up, could be up in the race were 1t
not for the man behind" 1t has been
said time and again by men high up
in baseball, including major league
managers. that Stallings Is half the
club" His development of players
who have never attracted particular
attention before has made the team,
and his instruction in a pinch" has
been the means Of winning many a
game.
While the loss Of Stallings would be a
severe blow to baseball In this city, II
stands to reason that no man would be
better qualified to manage the New
York team than the Newark manager.
Clark Griffith utterly failed In the task
this season and Norman Elberfeld his
successor. has failed to get better re-
suits from the team.
Stallings has been successful in every
city where he managed a team, and the
several conferences between him and
Owner Farrell have, no doubt, been
with a view Of inducing the former To
assume command of the Yankees In
New York it seems to be an accepted
fact that Stallings will be there next
season.

Although II Is not specifically stated
v in the petition, II was agreed by coun-

| ference at Lenox, Mass, following the
reversal by the appellate court of
| Judge Landis's decision that II the In

| tion of rebate cases against corpora

The lawyers were a unit In expressing
the opinion that the reforms In rebate
matters brought about by the Roose-
welt administration would represent so
much waste of time unless the upper
court can be convinced that II Is IN
error in it's construction OF the law.
ION but a single point involved In
the trial up to the return of the YER
dict of guilty" says the petition. "are
the rulings of the trial court criticised
! by the Court of Appeals. In all other
/ particulars his rulings are sustained
| The point on which the trial judge Is
reversed by the Court of Appeals re-
lates to his ruling on evidence and his
charge to the jury with reference to
! ignorance on the part of the Standard
! OIL Company of the lawful rate as a
defense. The Court of Appeals In its
opinion has not correctly stated how
! the Judge ruled on this subject"
Takes issue with Court.
! Continuing, the petition declares that
whereas the opinion of the Court OF
! Appeals states that Judge Lands re-
| fused to admit evidence to the effect
that the Standard Oil Company did not
know what the lawful rate was, the
record of proceedings in the lower
court shows that such evidence was
admitted.
The allegation that the Standard oil
! Company did know that 1t was not
| paying the legal rate is regarded as
the vital point. If, with tho evidence
introduced at the trial before Judge
| Landis, It can be held that the de-
! fendant did not have guilty knowledge
of its own acts. then successful prose-
cution Of similar cases is regarded as
| impossible.

JACOB LEVY OUT
$3.50 AND MAD
AS A HORNET

Jacob Levy. proprietor of a shoe
store at 261h Springfield avenue, is
mourning The loss of $3.50 as a result
of a game to which he fell easy prey.
Levy had a string of spurious dla-
monds which he believed were worth
5000, but which he has since learned
are no better than the five and ten-cent
variety.
Levy was in his store counting his
money when a stranger introduced him
self According to Levy. the man said
his brother had a jewelry store in
Springfield avenue, near High street.
and wanted to open a store near Levy's
place. While the men were talking a
second stranger entered and asked Levy
where the nearest pawnshop was To-
Gated.
"What do you want with a pawn
shop?" asked No. 1.
"Well, I'm down and out and want
to get to 'Philly,' and have a few dia-
answer.
what you want for them?" asked
Levy.
"Three hundred dollars will do" said
No. 2.
Levy said it was too much, and the
fellow pretended he was about to leave
the store when No. suggested to Levy
that he was foolish to miss such a
chance
"They are worth 5000, Levy, and I'll
go halves with you, but the best I'll
do now is give a check for $780," he
said.
Levy agreed to give 5000, but the fell
low in need of money compromised and
managed to get $3.50.
The first-comer left, telling Levy
that he would go direct to his brothers
store for his share of the money He
did not return. Levy has asked the
police to help him out.

Curves in Opening Battle.
StaIlings Protests Game.

BUFFALO, n. Y. Aug. 2t-Just why
today canont be doped out. Tomorrow
is Buffalo's best day, as most of the
shops have a half-holiday. Manager
Smith would not explain why he
wanted the game played today Man
ager Stallings formally protested the
playing of a double-header today. One
reason is because he was not notified
twenty-four hours previous, and the
other because the game should have
been played on the last trip of the
Tigers here. The Buffalo management
having refused to play it off then.
Newark has the right to demand the
time of playing 1t.
'Old Sol" showed plenty of speed to-
day and burned things up quite a little
this afternoon. A small crowd put In
an appearance, despite the bargain-day
stunt and the welcome change in the
weather. After handing the Bisons the
game yesterday and coming fast again
and stealing 1t away from them, Man
ager Stallings's bunch sailed In today
to make a cleanup, Rip Vowinkle
pitched for the herd, while Archer was
again sent behind the bat. Mcconnell
tried to earn his feed by doing the first
base stunt and McAllster was back at
third. Brockett worked the Tigers and
Stanage caught his proferrings.

in the opening round. DeVore went out
on a fly to Murray Mattress made a
nice stop of Kely's bad bounder which
Vowinkle could only touch with his
glove Mcconnell got Mattresses fling

left on the sack as EngIe's grasser was
lassoed by Smith and back over to Nc
Connen NO RUNS.
BUFFALO-The Blsons were very
tame In their part of the session. Nat
tress looked over three and took the
same number of wallops at them, but
they were not there, and back he went
to the bench. Brockett threw Schirm
out at first and Mullen did a similar
trick to White. NO RUNS.

EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR Ec3t
Why SaIVes Fail While a Simple
Liquid Has Accompanied Thou
sands of Cures.

1t is row thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely skin disease,
due to germ and durable only
through the skin. 1t is not a blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin diseases and
are perfectly healthy otherwise and
therefore prove they have no diseased
blood
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of a penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing abents. This compound known
as D. D. D. Prescription stops the itch
instantly-and the cures all appear
permanent. In fact, it took thousands
of cures, case after case, before the
best scientific authorities were convin-
ced of the absolute merit of this rem
edy. The effect of D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton in numbing the itching eczema
germs is seen within one minute after
the first application. We especially
recommend D. D. d. Soap in connec-
ton with this treatment. Owl Drug
