LENA, THE COOK, WAS A MAN.
This Wasn't Learned Until After the
Death OF West ZSth Streets Worker,

An odd case Of personatlon was dis
covered yesterday afternoon by Coroner
Hamburger when the body Of a supposed
woman servant taken TO the Morgue was
found 10 be that Of a man. For some time
Mrs. Ella Tobin. who keeps a boarding
house at 245 West Twenty-ffth street, has
hired as a cook Lena Becker. Lena q
face was far from smooth shaven. but
this Lena explained by telling Of former
employment as a bearded lady In Barnum
a Bailey's circus before the change To
cooking.
Lena cooked not only for Mrs. Tobin
but for several others on the block in West
/ Twenty-fifth street and seemed to show
partiality for that neighborhood. Lena
went on a spree several days ago and re-
turned to Mrs. Tobin's on Thursday night
and was put TO bed. In the morning Lena
was found dead with the gas flowing
Coroner Hamburger said Il vas case OF
accidental death.
There was some excitement in West
Twenty fifth street last night when many
boarding house keepers learned that thefr
former cook was man. Mrs. Tobin was
the only person who could throw any light
on where the man came from. She said
that she had once heard her cook speak OF
q sister In Goshen, N. Y. but that her name
was not mentioned.

cBRIsTMAsING AT BARNARD.
Seniors Hans Up Stockings Dances with
and without Real Men.

Barnard College has been invaded by
marked holiday spirit this week. On
Wednesday the freshmen invited the
juniors to q dance and cotillon in the
college theatre They borrowed their
brothers. fathers and uncles' dress
suits and behaved like real men. Besides
the cotillon favors pressnts for all the
guests were distributed from a mammoth
Christmas tree. The juniors had de-
lightful time. and one Of them was heard
to remark that you could have a much
better time at a dance without real men.
The sophomores evidently didn't agree
with this sentiment, for they invited
real men 10 escort them to their sopho-
more dance held last night In the Thomp-
son gymnasium. The COMMITTEES In
charge was Agnes Denike, chairman; ;
Alice O'Gorman, -Ottilie ProchAzka, Can
nillas Stewart. Marguerite Reynar, Kath-
crime Sickels and Fanny We'll
The height OF Christmas enthusiasm
was reached by the seniors. who hung up
their stockings on Thursday. The study
showed a marvellous array Of hosiery,
ranging from modest white isle to rnauve
and light blue striped silk. One six-
footer girl hung up an infants sock,
but no one believed her anyhow. The
next day these same stockings were
distributed by s. Claus a Co. The knocks
they contained were received good hu-
moredly. from the class presidents abig

sLOCUM SURVIVOR Loses.
Appellate Division Rules No 10 Divide
Pro Rata the Balance Of Fund.

Survivors of Gen. Slocum disaster
four years ago need not expect distribu-
ton among them Of the balance Of the
funds contributed for sufferers during the
weeks following the catastrophe The
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
upheld yesterday the dismissal Of the
suit brought by ATbin Boenhsrdt. a
survivor, who sought to compel the com
mtttee that holds the unexpended balance
OF few thousand dollars. to divide the
money pro rata among the survivors
and to give him his share. Boephardt
was 30 badly burned that he can no longer
either road or write. and as he received
only $3.50 altogether from the fund, the
committee was inclined to receive his
personal petition favorably.
But the court rules that there is nothing
to show that the contributors to the fund
expected to do anything more than TO
relieve the sufferers temporarily; certainly
not to create pension fund for survivors.
says Justice Scott. He holds that neither
Boenhardt nor any other survivor has
any legal claim on the balance. Three
other Justices take this view. but Justice
Ingraham, dissenting, thinks that all
the moneys In hand should be spent in
relieving the survivors who are helpl9ss
and In want. - the plaintiff b.
