To BE INFERRED IN
CHICAGO SATURDAY

Adolph Cohen received a telegram
last night from Vincent J. Vidal, who
is in Chicago, where he was sum-
moned following the sudden death of
his wife, in which it was stated that
the remains of Mrs. Vidal would be in
TERED in Chicago, the funeral to take
place at 100 o'clock this afternoon.
Deceased formerly resided in CHI
cago, and was visiting relatives at
the time of her sudden death a few
days ago.
A peculiarly sad feature of the
death of Mrs. Vidal, and the fact that
her funeral will take place in Chicago
is the fact that her brother, Jos. Roth,
residing here, has been too i'll to even
be apprised of his sisters death.
Slight improvement has been report
ed of late in the condition of Mr.. Roth,
however.
