GAVE UP WEDDING
TO TEND OLD MAN
Miss Kathryn TuIIy Promised
Dying Mrs. RunkIe to Be
MiIIionaire's Housekeeper.

Back of the bequests by William
Runkle. the aged millionaire iron
founder, of Orange, to his trained
nurse and housekeeper. Miss Kathryn
Tully, is a story of sacrifice and de-
votion.
Fifteen years ago, just after gradu-
alton from the Post Graduate Hos
pital, Miss fully was engaged to take
care of Mr.. Runkle's wife. Such was
her attention to Mrs. Runlxle that
even when the patients health i'm
proved Miss TulIy had to remain, be-
Ing looked on as Indispensable.
$ More than three years ago Maurice
Lynch, head coachman for the Run
kles, asked the nurse to marry him
and she consented. Mrs. Runkle then
had turned over all the affairs OF
her big home to Miss Tu1ly. One day,
shortly before her death, three years
ago, she called Miss Tully to her and
begged her to defer her marriage.
The aged woman exacted q promise
from the nurse that she would con-
tinue Mr.. Runkle's housekeeper as
long as he lived. Mrs. Runkle told
Miss Tully that she would be pro-
yided for well.
Miss Tully kept her promise and
her sweetheart continued TO manage
the stables.
Mr.. Runkle always appreciated
Miss Tully's devotion to his wife and
himself. More than a year ago he
was told by specialists that he was
wearing OUT and had not much
longer to live. He Immediately had
plans drawn for a s25,000 stone house
to be built opposite his own in Centre
street. 1t was finished last spring
and was furnished from cellar to at
tic at an additional outlay of $4,000.
This house and it's contents Mr..
Runkle decided to Miss Tully. but she
never has lived in 1t. She has been
too busy caring for the aged man
across the street.
Besides the bequest to Miss Tull,y
there is one of $4,000 to Lynch and
another $4,000 to Miss Tully's sister,
Mrs. Della Tanning.
Now that Miss Tully has fulfilled
her promise to the dying Mrs. Runkle
and expects to get possession of $4,000
In cash, besides owing the handsome
home in Centre street, her friends are
speculating as to when she will be-
come Mrs. Lynch.
Miss Tully refuses to discuss the
matter any more than to say that she
may have some announcement to
make later, possibly on her return
from a trip to New Mexico.

Probe Is Continued.
Especial to the Newark star.I

TRENTON, Feb. 1S.-The Fielder
commission appointed to investigate
conditions at the State Home for
Girls in this city continued its probe
at the State House today.
Commissioner of Charities and Cor
rections Byers called Mrs. Gussie

denied the statement Miss Sarah p.

trustees, made at the hearing in Jer-
sey City last week that the girls in
the home were unable TO prepare
dinners.
Mrs. Schlingheid detailed the train
ing of the girls in cooking at the
home and said the girls were prac-
tically trained for preparing meals.

dent of the home, next detailed to

when her monthly report was being
read.
Mrs. Mansell expressed the opinion
that she ought to be consulted when
matters pertaining to the home over
which she has direct supervision are
being discussed in order to bring
more clearly before the members the
exact conditions existing at the inst-
tuition.
She further asserted she knew
nothing of what transpired at these
monthly meetings except what knowl-
edge she received from the minutes.
Former President of the Trustees

Mrs. Mansell said, always requested
her to attend such meetings.
Miss Harriet Spinning, of Orange,
is now president of the board of trus-
tees. by virtue of her Office of vice
president, which she assumed when
Mr. Anderson relinquished the pres
idency last September.
Mrs. Mansell regretted that dis
gruntled members of the trustees cir
culated rumors concerning the insti-
tuition on the outside without at
tempting to bring notice of alleged
wrongs to her attention.

In 1905 Governor Stokes called at
tention to the fisheries of the State
and asked that they be taken into
consideration when the laws are be-
ing made. He wanted the food fish of
New Jersey conserved, and later ap-
pointed a committee to look into the
matter, and some interesting reading
can be had by perusal of their re-
port. Several of the recommendations
made at that time have since been
adopted, but the meat of the nut has
never been touched.
Why doesn't the State take action?
