The lJepuMioaiiH mot with an un
oxpfctt'il defeat on Tuesday nnd ex
Governor Piiltisou will again oecu
ly the Ciiihenmtoriid ehair. To say
that the defeat was unexpected is
putting it mildly, hut it is neverthe
less true, as late dispatches from
Republican head-quarters concedo
tho State for l'atlison by 5,(100 ma
jority, hut the Republicans elected
Thou. J. Stewart Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs.
Our defeat is accredit oil to tho
SfcKinley bill. The people had not
time to realio its beneficial effects,
but McKinley still lives and is re
elected to tho Congress. Tho fu
ture will vindicate itself.
Tho Democrats claim everything

It seems tho only placo that was

A VERY STRANGE TALE.
A MOTHER MEETS RER DAGOUTER WHOM
SITE KEVER SAW BEFORE.
New York, Oct. 28. A handsome
young woman, 21 years old, with
golden hair and blue eyes, holding a
letter in her hand, rang the door
bell of ono of tho frame cottages in
one-hundred and-sevonty-sixth St.,
between Madison and Washington
avenues, last Wednesday, and then
timidly waited for the door to open
There had been a death in that house
scarcely a week before. The daugh
ter, Annie Meyer, a handsome girl,
had succumbed to pneumonia and
left her widowed mother and affianc
ed husband to mourn for her.
Tho young woman who stood
waiting outside with the letter was
almost an exact counterpart of the
dead girl. When tho door was op
ened Mrs. Meyer, a woman well
passed middle age, dressed in black,
looked out. Sho stared at her visi
tor as if idio had been confronted
by an apparition from tho other
world, while the young woman hesi
tatingly held out tho letter. Mrs.
Meyer made a short step forward,
tried to hold out her hands, and
then dropped in a heap just inside
tho door. The girl shrieked, and a
young man ran out from ono of the
rooms. He looked at the girl much
in the Kiimo way as Mrs. Meyer had,
then he ran up to her, and, putting
his arms around her, before sho
knew what he was going to do, kiss
ed her.
"See, the lady has fainted," she
said, breaking away from him. "You
had better help mo take her inside."
Together they carried her into a
plcasunt little parlor, and laid her
on a sofa. Sho rnmo to presently
ami stared around like a person in a
delirium.
"Aro you better?" asked tho
young woman who bent over her.
"Yes. yes ; but you, who are you T
You are so like my Annie, who has
been dead not yet a week."
In the confusion tho letter had
been dropped on tho lloor. The
young woman picked it up and
handed it to Mrs. Meyer. She took
it, opened it mechanically and tried
to read, but could not, so sho hand
ed it to tho young man, Dr. Samuel
Kratzner. Tho hitter revealed a
story which sounds like a romance.
and after tho doctor had read it ho
told Mrs. Meyer that tho young wo
man was a daughter whom bho had
known ioti!"i,Oi!., iA-H-- ,
a twin with the dead girl Tho
shock was almost too much for the
mot her, and there was a most affect
ing and pathetic scene between tho
mother ami daughter, united for
tho lirst timo since tho birth of tho
child.
Told, briefly, this romance in real
life, which would perhaps not bo be
lieved if the proofs did not exist,
began twenty-five years ago, when
John M. Meyer, a German, endowed
with those traits of industry and
frugality which characterize the
race, came to this country from
Hamburg with his wife. Tho frau
was blue-eyed, very slenderly fash
ioned, and rather sickly. They
lauded at Ilostou, where Meyer
found work almost immediately.
For a year they lived carefully and
economically, and then they camo
to this city with enough money to
start a green grocery store at the
corner of (Sreenwich avenue and
West Twelfth street.
They had apartments over tho
store, but such was tho stato of Mrs.
Meyer's health that sho seldom left
her rooms. In fact, a greater part
of tho time sho was confined to her
bed. Sho frequently became uncon
scious, and on several occasions re
mained in that state for several days.
The profits of tho store went fortho
employment of doctors, who con
sulted, but could not learn what the
mysterious malady was. Suddonly,
tho began to improve, and in a re
markably short timo sho had so far
recovered as to bo able to assist her
husband in tho store.
For a year her health continued
excellent, but ono iluy, at the ex
piration of that time, whilo she was
waiting upon a customer in tho
store, sho tumbled down on the
floor behind the counter in one of
her old attacks. She was carried
upstairs, and it was six days beforo
sho recovered her senses. She bo-
came so helpless that a nurse was a
necessity, and Meyer secured the
services of a Mrs. Hirsh, a woman
whom ho had known in Germany,
and who was living in Hoboken with
her husband.
Mrs. Meyer lapsed into a state of
unconsciousness again, and two days
later, while still in that condition,
sho gave birth to two girl babies.
Mrs. Hirsh, the nurse, was a sensi
ble woman, and she told Meyer that
she didn't think it advisable for his
wife to keep both the babies, on ac
count of her health. She suggested
the removal of one before the mot he i1
regained consciousness. They talk-'
ed the matter over until finally
Meyer fell in with Mrs. Hirsh's way
of thinking. The nurse had no chil
dren nnd she said sho would take
one of the girls. Meyer was satis
fied with that, and two days after
birth one of tho children was remov
ed to Mrs. Hirsh's homo in Hoboken
and a nurse employed to look after
it. Meyer signed tho papers and it
was agreed that Mrs. Meyers should
know notlfing of tho transaction
Tho next day the invalid returned
to consciousness. Her health camo
back, and her baby was christened
Annie. Mis. Hirsh went to her
Hoboken homo and had her protege
baptized under the name of Mamie
Hirsh.
Bad luck came to the little green
grocery after that. For threo years
busiuess gradually fell off. Meyer
lost all his money, tho shutters
were put up for good, and he tramp
ed around the streets looking for
work. It was hard to find. In short,
ho never found it. So he got up
very early ono morning, without
disturbing his wife or little Annie.
He walked over as far as Orovo and
Hudson streets, nnd standing with
St. Luke's Episcopal Church on one
side and tho public school on the
other, he pulled out a big old coun
try revolver and blew his brains out.
Friends camo forward to help the
widow, and sho took her furniture
and baby and moved up to the
house on one-hundred-and-seventy-
sixth street, where she lives to-day
Sho was a fine seamstress, and ol
taing, sewing, she pursued her daily
work ignorant of tho existence of
another daughter. Annie grew up
to bo a fine looking young woman.
Sho studied shorthand and learned
how to use a typewriter, and found
a pleasant position in the office of a
well known Harlem lawyer. She
made many friends aud engaged
herself to Dr. Samuel D. Kratzner,
a wealthy young German, who grad
uated from tho Columbia School of
Mines. Tho wedding was to have
taken placo on December 10. About
threo weeks ago sho caught a severe
cold. Pneumonia developed rapidly,
and despite the efforts of the doc
tors sho died.
Mrs. Hirsh, who adopted one of
the twins, never communicated with
tho Meyers. Sho lived at 20 South
street, Hoboken. Mamie Hirsh
grew up as strong and handsome as
Vea'iui&uovn sister." t'ot
ten years Mr. Hirsh has been an in
valid, unable to do any work. About
the same timo when Annie Meyer
caught tho cold which resulted fa
tally, ho died, leaving his wife aud
adopted girl almost destitute.
After thinking tho matter over
and taking into consideration her
advanced age, Mrs. Hirsh conclud
ed to return to Germany and pass
tho rest of her days with her friends
in the Fatherland. After tho sale
of her furniture sho found sho did
not have money enough to take
Mamio with her, so she wrote to her
relatives in Europe for money and
waited for a reply.
Before it camo sho read in the
newspapers of the death of Annie
Meyer. Her conscience began to
trouble her, and sho concluded to
return her adopted daughter to her
own mother. Slio told tho girl tho
true history of her life, and told her
that sho must go back to her moth
er. Then she sat down and wrote
the letter which Mrs. Meyer receiv
ed last Wednesday from the hand
of her daughter.
Tho morning after tho letter was
written they bid each other a tear
ful good-bye. Mamio started for
Harlem, whilo Mrs. Hirsh went
aboard the German steamship which
sailed that night. This is tho ro

As To Trespassers.
From the Artamilmrg Ilrrnlcl.
Having noticed an articlo in the
Post concerning tho opinion of a
Lowell hunter in regard to the tres
pass notices being put up by the
land owners in this section of the
country, we would say, tho Lowell
hunter has no one to blame but him
self. If he would bo contented with
a mess or so of squirrels, tho same
as the rest of the hunters, these no
tices would never have been put up ;
but he must bag a hundred or more,
if he can do so and what he don't
eat he ships away. Tho law for
Canada thistles is about tho same
as fishing with a seiue, fifteen or
twenty feet long, catching pike,
etc., out of season. Now then, bo-
ware. A Hunter.
