Daughter Kills Father
in Protecting Brother
at Atlantic City Home

ATLANTIC CITY, oct. 10.-Shot
through the heart and lungs last
night during a family quarrel at his
home, Nicholas Mancheri, Pennsyl-
vania railroad employee, died in a
few minutes.
Margaret, the mans twenty-three-
year-old daughter, with two younger
brothers and three sisters were seen
running away from the house after
the shooting. They were lodged in
the city jail Under a gruelling ex
animation Margaret admitted to the
detectives that she had done the kill
ing.
Two bullets were fired into Man
cheri's body from behind, one tear
ing through the heart and lungs ana
emerging through his breast. Death
was almost instantaneous. When the
police arrived under command of Ser
geant Scott they were compelled to
fight their way through a wildly ex-
cited crowd of Mancheris neighbors,
by whom he was held in high esteem
His wife died recently and the house
hold was in charge of Margaret.
At the City Hall the children stated
that their father had an ungoverna-
BILE temper and had frequently
abused them. When he returned
from work last night, they said, he
seized his sixteen-year-ol son, An
thony, by the throat. Margaret in
terfered to protect the boy and the
father, turning on her, declared he
would kill her. He drew a knife, they
saiA and darted toward the girl, who
ran to a closet and procured revolt
Yer. 1t has not yet been explained
how Mancheri was shot in the back.

However. the mother rarely leaves
the nest during the Matching period.
When all the eggs are Matched the
brood is led carefully to water, and

Prayer to Join Sister in
Death Is Answered and
Funeral Will Be Double

PLAINFIELD, Oct. 10.-A few
weeks ago Miss Catherine F. Ran
dolph, eighty-four, and her sister.
Hannah, eighty, became i'll. Against
the wishes of both sisters they were
separated, a condition in illness that
had not occurred for more than
score of years in health. -. az
On Tuesday Catherine died. The
physicians knew, as every longtime
resident in Plainfield knew, how an
nouncement of this event would be
taken by Hannah, but deferring the
news did not lessen it's effect, and
when Hannah was told yesterday her
grief shaped itself into a prayer for
death. Friends visiting her found
her appealing in prayer to join her
sister.
Her prayer was answered later in
the afternoon. Both sisters will be
buried this afternoon.

THAT is a belief that l have long
entertained. I want you to carry out
that policy in the New York post
office You will have my cordial sup
port in the maintenance of any rules
for appointment based upon fitness
and character. Don't you worry If
some of the politicians threaten you
with their displeasure or mine If
you do not make appointments which
they ask. I will stand by you.t
- want to ask you question,
the President continued. Do you
think the postmaster should have the
absolute right to discharge without
anybodys questioning that right?
Il told the President that was my
firm opinion. He wanted to know
why, and I said that if appointments
were made on the ground of merit
and fitness, then the postmaster of
New York would have no reason for
removing an employee to make va
cancy SO that some political favorte
could be appointed because the va
cancy would have to be filed on the
ground of merit and fitness alone.
The President said that he fully
agreed with my view He said that
the executive heads of government
departments should have the abso-
lutte right of dismissal and he was
also convinced that appointments
| should be made because of merit and
| fitness.

ONE day late in May a number of
" years ago, w. t. Hornaday, d.
rector of the New York Geological
Park, when collecting in Montana,
found a little water hole hardly ten
feet in diameter hiding in the sunken
head of a dry coulee. All around in
every direction for miles and miles
the sagebrush, shimmering in the heat
of the early summer, stretched in a
billowy sea. But as he dismounted
for a drink. up from her nest in the
sagebrush by the side of the pool rose
malard- duck. And" says Mr..
Hornaday, ''as I gazed In astonish-
ment at this nest and its contents be-
side an insignificant bit of water in a
landscape that was certainly not
made for ducks, understood how 1t
is that this bird has been able to
spread itself all around the northern
two-thirds of the globe"
The mallard is the best-known and
most generally distributed of wild
ducks. 1t is found throughout the en-
tire northern hemisphere. 1t is the
most cosmopolitan of all wild fowl,
