WOMAN FOUND
FROZEN; MAY.
BE TRAGEDY
Seek Motive for Stylishly
Dressed Central Park
Victims Death.

NEW YORK, Jan. S1.-Mystery sur
rounds the identity of g. young woman,
about 20 years of age, whose body was
found frozen in a large block of ice
in the big reservoir In Central Park.
There is little doubt In the minds Of
the police and Coroner Shrady that
the girb who was f~ashionably dressed,
was a suicide, but the fact that she
wore clothing Of more than ordinary
good material, lingerie of fine texture
and had q pretty face that bore evil
dence of refinement, leads to the belief
that there is a tragedy behind her
The only things that remain to aid
in Identification are the les little
patent leather shoes, buttoned and in
good condition, which bore the name
of the seller, two rings on her fingers
and a black leather handbag found on
another block OF ice.
The fact that this bag was rsepa-
rated from the body seems to indicate
thai there was a struggle after she
landed in the water.
One of the rings has engraved in it
the initials &C. f." and the same I'M
tails are in metal letters on the bag.
More than a dozen persons have
been to the morgue to view the body,
but the police attach little Importance
to any excepting a man and a woman
who came early today in a large au-
tomobile and asked to be shown the
body. AS they got into the light both
pulled the fur collars of their heavy
coats up over their faces so that then
features were hidden.
When the body was exposed the
woman started and her hand fell upor
the shoulder of the man. She seemed

WOMEN'S CLUBS
JOHN J. MURPHY DISCUSSES
CIVIC QUESTIONS.
Arthur w. McDougall Makes Plea for
Homeless Men at Meeting
of Civic Club.

John J. Murphy, of New York, was
the speaker at the public meeting of
the Civic Club, held in the Free Public
Library last night.
The meeting was one Of a series to
be xAEen throughout the season. when
prof&pent speakers will discuss soq5pl
candidates and civic questions.
Mr. Murphy was scheduled to speak
on Homeless Men, or Industrial and
Social Human Waste" but he drifted
from that subject and discussed the
single tax question and its effects upon
the common people. at some length.
Discussing the present financial con-
dltions, Mr.. Murphy declared that
many blamed the extravaganza of the
poor for their depression, but in con-
tradIction to that he said:
TT Is not true to say that h poor
are extravagant and incorporate and
lack foresight. In Mohammedan coun-
tries, where temperance is part of the
religion, there is poverty, and in India,
where the average yearly earning Is
$40. there Is poverty"
The speaker then entered into a
lengthy discussion of economic condi-
tions, concluding with the statement
that 80 per cent. of tramps, paupers
and the criminals was the result of
environment, and that hereditary in
1uence did not oppress much.
Arthur w. McDougall, secretary of
the Bureau of Associated Charities, led
the discussion and compared the regu-
lar clientele of the lodging houses to
the man made homeless by circum-
stances.
He deplored the fact that the local
lodging houses lacked both police and
medical supervision. Both Of these
he deemed imperative.
He then said that a municipal lodg-
ing house was needed, and thought a
county hospital for incurable inebriates
should be established to root out this
class from the lodging houses.
The Rev. John Mcdowell presided at
the meeting.

TO USE UP FRUIT CAKE.

If a surplus of fruit cake remains it
may be basted 18th sugar and wine
or brandy and well wrapped and
placed in a closed tin box and may be
put away for future need
1t may also be steamed, q. small
block of it, for pudding, and served
with the customary sauce.
If the fruit cake has a raw flour
taste, even when it was baked a long
time, then let it be a warning to bake
the flour before baking it into the fruit
cake, for this will obviate the trouble.
Do not let the flour burn or brown too
much. Have an even heat, and keep it
well stirred. An earthen platter or
dish viii not be as likely to bake fast
as an ordinary baking tin, and so is
safer for browning the -four and for
baking the cake itself.-Exchange.

Die Fighting.

1t takes a brave person to look
trouble In the face and laugh at 1t.
There is truth in that verse which
talks of people being worth while who
can smile when everything goes dead
wrong" We admire the n who gives
a plucky fight. and who goes down
from sheer force of opposition rather
than from lack of courage to continue.
But we have no use for the person
who whines, who shouts his woes to
the world and cries for mercy.
