MYSTERY is SOLVED.
Friends Identify Woman Found in
Home of Prof. Parma.

New York. April 10.-An amazing
mixture of romance and gruesome
tragedy has been revealed by the in
vestigation to ascertain the identity of
the woman of mystery who was
found babbling incoherently beside the
formerly head of the New York Con-
servatory of Music, in a room over
the school in Lenox avenue Monday
night.
The woman is Clara Connors, ac-
cording to the story related by Mrs.
Louise Gray, an old friend of the pro-
fessor. Parma, then middle aged
musician, fell violently in love with
Clara Connors when she came to study
music with him. He proposed to her
but was rejected. Shortly afterward
the young girl left for England to be
married to a young Englishman whom
she had met in this country BY this
lover she was betrayed and she lost
her reason. She wandered back to
her native land and again met the
professor, whom she did not recog-
nize. The professor, still madly in love
with her determined to shield her
from the world and to devote his life
to an attempt to restore her reason.
For twenty years, unknown to all
but q few intimate friends, he watch
ed over her day and night. He did
not succeed and finally his own reason
tottered. He spent his fortune on his
beautiful and insane ward and lately

JEWISH CHURCH HERE
DIR. Louis sclrciber Starts Sabbath
School and Divine Services.

Through the efforts of Rev. Louis
| Scheiber, it is likely that a Jewish
| church is to be organized in Topeka.
Already a Sabbath school has been or
ganized and on Friday evenings
church services are being held. Among
those interested in the project are
some of the most widely known and
wealthy Jewish families in Topeka.
With the Jewish people of Topeka in
| terested in the Dropiect.as Dr.Schreibe1
says they are, the formation of per-
manent church here is more likely
than for many years.
1t has been IS years since there was
a regularly organized Jewish church
in Topeka. 1t did not flourish and latei
died.
Rabbi Schneider said of the venture
Our object is to preserve. and tc
perpetuate the belief IN and the pure
worship of one, invisible God, as con-
ceived and taught by Moses and the
prophets, and to bring a greater cui-
ture and a higher refinement to our
people by developing prophetic hun,
ger for righteousness ana of social
justice. The Jew must be taught to
be proud of his noble heritage, he must
become conscious that he belongs TIC
people who gave religion and law
to the civilized world. Inc unth1nklng
masses have notion that a Jew l.
one who peddles and sells goods; the
fact is, the Jew peddled eternal truths
before the SaXons invaded England
and he kindled the light of salvation
and mapped out a system of morality
and just laws before Hermann hurled
the Germanic tribes against the Ro-
man legions.
Many endeavors have been made in
the past few years to bring the Jew
iSh citizens together with a religious
object in view, but somehow these pas
endeavors yielded no results.
fnT al
these lines is to be found in the ex-
IRENE selfshness of those Jews WhC
ought to be leaders in such move
ments. But perhaps 1 do them wrong,
the cause is their extreme indifference
to religion, an Indifference Which les
tered and was fostered by long neglece-
Why, some 80 years ago they had
sort of reform congregation here
which was tucked away in some I'M
known corner, and was hiding the
light of Judaism under bushel, an0
the support of it came SO stintingly that
the organization long ago died nat
ural death; it died with the fatal
malady, indifference, superinduced by
misery habits. What they have left
from that time is nothing but grave
yard a graveyard whose paths are
lined with stocks and bonds, a cemetery
wherein are buried the noDleSt hopes
and aspirations.
Rabbi Schneider is full of hope that
the present organization will live long
and prosper, as the best men and Wo-
men of the Jewish population here are
enlisted in this noble cause and are
fully alive and thoroughly aroused tc
the religious needs of themselves AND
of their children.
In his roseate hopes, DR.. Schneider
said, he can see the walls of a Jewish
temple rise in the near future, Jew
ish house of worship that will be a
credit to the Jewish community and
credit to the city of Topeka.
