Possibly an Accident.

NEW YORK, January 3.-That Mrs.
John Van Ness Roberts. well known in
New York society, is dying of an over
dose of strychnine. self-administered, was
reported to the Office of Coroner Acri-
telli today.
The coroner went to Mrs. Roberts
apartments, at 227 Riverside Drive and
found two physicians attending her. but
she was unconscious and believed to be
dying. From the physicians and members
of the household he learned that Mrs.
Roberts had been suffering from heart
trouble for sometime and had been TAX
ing minute doses of strychnine as a
heart stimulant.
Last evening one of her physicians was
notified that she had collapsed and when
he reached her apartments she was in a
critical condition. One of the maids said
Mrs. Roberts had taken several of the
strychnine tablets. Whether the overdose
was taken with intent to commit suicide
the doctors could not say. II was reported
that Mrs. Roberts had suffered financial
losses.

HEARST-McCLELLAN ROW.
Latter's Counsel Applies for Order
for Struck Jury to Try Suit.

Tor STRUCK Jury TO Iry Su1I.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Eugene Lamb
Richards, counsel for Mayor Mcclellan,
today applied to Justice Davis, in the su-
directing the drawing of a struck jury to
try the suit of the attorney general to
oust Mr.. Mcclellan as mayor. William R.
Hearst, who, while really the chief plain
tiff on the theory that he was elected and
that the mayor unlawfully holds office, is
under the technical pleading in such a
suit party defendant with Mcclellan.
Although a defendant in the attorney
generals suit of custer, Hearst's counsel,
Clarence J. Shearn, opposes every move
that McClellan's counsel makes, and has
repeatedly appeared in court represent
ing the attorney generals side of the
case
In support of his application for struck
jury Mr. Richards said that the suit
brought by Mr.. jackson is quo warranto
proceedings. and that as far back as
King George l of England struck juries
have almost invariably been allowed in
quo warranto actions. He said that the
case required a carefully selected jury
such as could only be secured by getting
an order of court for struck jury, which
is obtained by striking from the jury
list the names of men deemed to be pos
sessed of more than the ordinary mtelli-
gence of the mass of jurors. The names
so stricken off the list are taken to make
up the struck jury.
Mr.. Richards said that the mayor is
also entitled to struck jury because of
the grave issues involved and because of
certain newspaper attacks upon him and
his right to hold the office of mayor.

JERSEY MURDER MYSTERY.
All Clues to Identify Body Have So

NEW YORK, January 3.-All other
clues proving unfruitful. the police of
Harrison, N. j., again today investigated
the story told by Mrs. Hattie Hull, who
identified the body of the mysteriously
murdered woman found in the Passaic
river as that of her half-sister. Minnie
]. CASTOR of Tennessee. One attempt to
verify one of Mrs. Hulrs statements
failed today. She had declared that a

of Dyckman street and Broadway. New
York. would be able to corroborate her
Identification of the body. Mrs. Ballou,
when found today, declared that she
never knew Mrs. Hull, although she
knew that Mrs. Hull once lived in the
same apartment house as did Mrs. Ballou.
Mrs. Hull, when questioned yesterday,
again asserted that Minnie CASTOR was
the stepdaughter of DR.. Womack of
further on this line, but the police are
not hopeful of securing any reliable in
formation from Mrs. Hull. She. however,
declares that she will not permit the body
to be buried in pauper's grave. 'Cor-

AS all clues to the murderer hinge on
the identity of the victim it is believed
that the burial will prevent a solution of
the mystery.
The Brooklyn police endeavored today to
identify the body of the murdered woman
in Harrison, n. j., as that of Mrs. Theo-
dore S. Whitmore, wife of Brooklyn
'motorman. Whitmore told the police that
his wife has been missing for some time,
but declared that he believed that she
had left him for another man. He said
however that his wife wore suit SINH
lar to that worn by the murdered woman,
and that there were scars on her body re-
sembling those found on the unidentified
body. Last night he was taken to view
the body but declared that he was un-
able to say whether or not 1t was that
of his wife. He told the police today that
it might be his wife. The police have de-
tanned him. and will take other persons
who knew Mrs. Whitmore to see the body
in Harrison.
Frank Elnert, friend of Mrs. Theodore
S. Whitmore of Brooklyn. viewed the
bodv today and identified it as that of
Mrs. Whitmore.

hospital he was going to spend it all for
cigars and candy for them. He died

Company scandal yesterday, when II.
l.. StorrS. one of the bookkeepers OF

A CANDIDATE
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS TO USE
DINNER FOR TALKS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-John Fox,
president of the -tational Democratic
Club, announced today that the club had
concluded arrangements for a series of
dinners during the winter, at which ma
tional and local democratic issues will be
discussed by prominent democratic
speakers. The first dinner, as already
announced, will be held on Jackson day,
January 8, and former Justice Morgan ].
OBrien is to be the guest of honor and
speak on the subject, why Is the Demo-
cratic Party Divided?'
The subjects to be discussed at subse-
quent dinners are: State Rights, Great
Corporations and Interstate Commerce"
Currency Reform Historically Consider
ed;" 'Manufacturers Now Demanding
Tariff Reform" Publicity for Campaign
Expenses and Home Rule for New
York City,
Former Chief Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals Alton B. Parker. who was the
democratic candidate for President in
1904 and former Justice Herrick, who ran
for governor in the same year. have ac-
cepted invitations to speak at early
dates.
President Fox. in his notice to members
of the series of dinners, says. in part:
as to what constitutes historic democratic
doctrine, the fierce factional uuarrels
which have heretofore divided and still
divide the great party foundeu by the au-
thor of the Declaration of Independence,
and the grave danger thct in the coming
presidential campaign the party may
again be disrupted by the intrusion of
new, untried and impra cticable schemes
Of reform-these are conditions which
make it evident to prudent and thinking
men that there is pressing need for an
educational campaign in benalf of historic
democratic teaching.
To Head Off Bryan.
Because of these conditions, and es-
pecially because this is presidential year,
it gives me great pleasure to announce
that, by unanimous vote of our board of
governors, it has been decided to hold at
our club house this winter a series of
club dinners, to each of which a distin-
guished New York democrat will be in
vited as the special and honored guest of
the occasion.
Each of these guests will be required
to discuss one vital issue of the coming
campaign, and in so doing to present in
outline needed measures of reform ap-
plicable to present day conditions and
consistent with the historic position of
our party since the adoption of the Con-
Stitution.'
While there is no Official or formal an
nouncement to that end it is well under
stood by the executive members of the
club that one of the main purposes of the
proposed series of dinners and discussions
is to bring to the front some conservative
democrat as candidate for the party
nomina ton for President this year, and
New York state delegation to the national
convention for William ]. Bryan.

New York Surprised.

The news from London of the beginning
OF suit for notification of the marriage
puts new aspect upon the countess alb
sence. The news was not entirely uneX-
pected here, for rumors of the. proceed
ings now undertaken have been rife for
some time. The former Miss Thaw has
always been very popular among her as
sociates, both in Pittsburg and New York
and her married life has been followed
with great deal of interest. During the
trial of her brother she attracted a great
deal of sympathy, and the complete sad
ness written u9on her features was at
tributed 10 grief over the plight of her
kinsman- When she returned to England
II was generally reported that her health
had been wrecked. Later il was said she
had gone TO Italy with her husband to
seek rest and the restoration of her shat
tered nerves.
1t fell to the lot of LADY Yarmouth to
inform her mother of her brothers rash
deed. AT the time of the sensational
shooting on Madison Square Roof Garden
Earl Had His Price.
The wedding OF Lord Yarmouth and
Miss Thaw was an event in Pittsburg So
eiety. 1t was planned that her eldest
brother. Harry, should give her away,
but he was absent. The ceremony was
delayed several hours to await his COM
ing, but he did not put in an appearance.
Josiah c. Thaw, another brother, acted In
his place.
1t was also reported that the delay in
the ceremony was due to further negotia-
tions with regard to the marriage settle
ment from the Thaw family The earl is
declared to have insisted upon an increase
and the papers had to be drawn uo be-
fore the marriage proceeded.
Mrs George Lauder Carnegie, who was
a familiar figure in the family group al
the first Thax trial, was the matron OF
honor to her sister. Lord Edward Sew
mour, brother of the groom. was best
man. Several of the earl's relatives came
over for the ceremony. Within the first
year of her married life Lad:, Yarmouth
was compelled to deny rumors of a dis.
agreement with her husband. She en-
deavored to live as quietly as possibly
land any entertaining that was done was
m a comparatively small scale.

When Caulifower is Delicious.

Caulifower is delicious vegetable
when properly cooked and vile when
improperly cooked, which generally
means when overlooked. Remove all
the large green leaves and the greater
part of the stalk. Put the head down
in pan of cold water which con-
tains to each quart teaspoonful Of
salt and teaspoonful Of vinegar.
Let It soak in this water an hour
or more. This Is to draw out worms,
II any should be hidden in the vege-
table. When ready to cook the cauli-
flower put 1t into large stewpan,
stem end down, and cover generously
with boiling water. Add a table,
spoonful of salt and cook with the
cover Of the saucepan partially off,
boiling gently all the time. A large
compact head will require a full half
hour, small heads from twenty to
twenty-five minutes. If the flowers
are loose. the heat penetrates to all
parts quickly. When compact, a
little extra time should be allowed
for the cooking, but the time must
never exceed the half hour. The
cauliflower begins to deteriorate the
moment it is overlooked. Overlook
ing, which is very common, can be
told by the strong flavor and dark
color. 1t makes the vegetable not
only unpleasant to the eye and palate,
but indigestible also. If this vege-
table must be kept warm for any
length of time, cover the dish with
a piece of cheese cloth. In hotels
and restaurants it is better to blanch
it, chill with cold water, and then
heat in salted boiling water when
needed.-The Country Gentleman.

Favors Dancing, Not Athletics.

Although 1t has been predicted that
after-dinner wrestling bouts might
become a fad, and ere long hosts
would be knocked down and guests
injured in the friendly contests, prob
ably it won't come to pass after ALL
Word comes from London that the
gentler art of dancing will be more in
favor this winter than for several sea-
sons. in fact, Miss Vincent, the prin-
c1pal of the Court School of Dancing
and Department, now comes forward
and says the present day girl who in
dulges in rough sport and athletics
should pay more attention to beauty
and figure culture, and that the move
ments in graceful dances have more
encouraging results in the cultivation
of the figure than any other kind of
physical exercise. "Too much time
is spent on face massage and the coif-
fure, to the neglect of the figure, and
particularly of the feet" she says.
We notice many women we'll dressed
and we'll shod with no idea how to
move their feet properly. Statues of
Roman ,culptors do not show the
distorted joints, curled-over toes and
! thickeped ankles which we see to-
day. All those faults can be cured
by careful manipulation of the body
aud feet, and no overexercise can in
sure the foundation of a good car
riage better than the careful study
of dancing. / contend that in the
early stages of training it is most
beneficial to coax and humor the
muscles by the elegant movements of
the old French minuets and Spanish
dances and to proceed gradually to
more forcible exercises to gain
strength. New York Press.
