FATHER RECAINS
STARVING FAMILY
SEEKING CAREER
Ansonia Man Rejoins Wife
and Daughter, Who Were
Starving.

New York, Jan. 29-Meyers Mandell
came from Providence yesterday pre-
pared to take back home the wife and
daughter whose ambiti ons for a ca
reer have subjected him to eight
years separation. The reunion took
place at Bellevue hospital, where Mrs.
Mandell and Coda, the daughteri are
being nursed back to health.
The Mandel1s resided at Ansonia,
Conn.,, when neighbors advised the
father to give Coda musical edu-
cation. They moved to Waterbury,
then to Boston, actuated by the desire
for advantage for Golda- In Boston
the girls voice excited favorable no
tice.
Then Mr. Manden went to Provt-
dence to live in a furnished room,
while the mother and daughter came
to New York to study. Later they
went to London, Paris and Vienna.
The time arrived when Coda was
ready to sing in grand opera in New
York.
Late Thursday night the mother
and daughter were taken out of a
furnished room in West F,orty-ffth
street, suffering from hysterfa, which
Bellevue physicians attributed partly
to lack of nourishment and partly to
unsatisfied ambitions. They will be
kept at the hospital few days long
er for observation of their mental con-
ditiOn.

HE'S ", SHE'S 22;
CALL PASTOR FIRST
AND THEN POLICE
Threats Fly as Serenaders
Make Night Hideous For
"Newlyweds."

New York, Jan. 29.-When it was
learned last night that Charles H.
Vanderhoof, seventy-two years old
East Orange, and Miss Nellie Elsie
Miller, twenty-five, of Caldwell, N. J.,
had been secretly married last We'd
nesday, more than a, hundred young
men and women of Caldwell gathered
at the brides home with all kinds of
noisemal1ing implements and began a,
hideOus chariVari.
Frank w. Miller, contracting build
er, the father of the bride, appeared
on the front porch when the noise
at it's height and called for 81
lence. The crowd, believing a pleas
ant announcement was to be made,
became still, and then Mr.. Miller is
said to have shouted:
f'I'll shoot every person that does
not get out of this yard in three min
utes!''
This was met by boots from the
crowd, and the noisemaking was re-
sumed with greater energy. There
were calls of:
where's Nellie? Bring her out!'
Where's Grandpa, Vanderhoof? Oh,
you grandpa caveman!'
Mr.. Miller is said to have cried that
he would get a shotgun as he ran
back into the house. However, he
did not return, but telephoned to the
police, and soon Chief John Harkey
and three other, policemen appeared
and began to struggle with the I'M
welcome serenaders. They forced
them off the Miller lawn but for sew
eral hours the racket of banging cans
made sleep for the Miller family and
neighbors impossible.
A few days ago Mr.. Vanderhoff pur-
chased a home owned by the girls
grandmother, a few doors from the
Miller home, but the serenaders kept
such a, close watch last night that he
home, were unable to reach their own
'dove COTE
Mr.. Vanderhoof is the father of five
children and the grandfather of Is
His youngest child is 10 years older
than his bride. Despite the half cen
fury of time separating the ages of
Mr.. Vanderhoof and his bride her
parents said it was a true love
match
Friends of the family had been in
formed early las tweek of the I'M
usual engagement, and that the we'd
ding would be on Washington's birth
day. Therefore the surprise was
complete yesterday when her par
ents announced that the couple had
been secretly married Wednesday
night by the Rev. T. Stuart Molyneux,
of the First Presbyterian church of
Caldwell.
Miss Miller had been prominently
identified with the social affairs of
Caldwell and was popular in the
younger set Many of her girl friends
were in serenading party that last
night was driven off by the police.
