COSSACKS WHIP WOMEN Russian Socialists' Plans For May flaw Rocnlf in Fiacrn. ""J " "WW. COUNTRY WAS GENERALLY QUIET Ho Blood Shod?Minor Disorders in One or Two Towns ? St. Petersburg Authorities Prepared With Klaborate Precaution# ? Cavalry Patrol the Streets and Disperse All Crowds. Si. Petersburg, Russia.?The widely heralded May Day demonstration in * St. Petersburg were a complete fiasco, and reports from Moscow and the provinces indicate that order reigned generally throughout Russia. Minor disorders are reported from Reval. Kishineff, and one or two other places, but no report of serious tumult or loss of life has been received, and the attempts of the Social Democrats and Social Revolutionists to signalize May Day by great anti-Government demonstrations appear to have been a thorough failure. Dispatches from Kazan, Tiflis, Sara- ; toff. Kronstadt, Rostoff-on-Don, Kieff, Tomsk, and other cities say the workmen observed the day as a holiday; that the shops were closed, and that ' quiet was not disturbed. In St. Petersburg the day passed in almost perfect quiet, and happily with- '' out a drop of blood being shed. The ' Revolutionaries found it impossible to execute the program of demonstrations ! and bomb-throwing which they had so widely advertised, the workingmen de. / dining to sacrifice themselves to advance the propaganda of their self-con- J stituted leaders, and the advertised 1 meetings were attended chiefly by spec- \ ' tators. Governor General Trepoff handled the situation firmly, but with a view to avoiding collisions. Squads of Cossacks patroll9d the streets, reserves being held out of sight in courtyards, and the Guard Regiments were retained under arms in their baracks. A newspaper correspondent, who rode through all sections of the city and suburbs, found the streets perhaps less thronged than usual. More or Jess tension and agitation were apparent in the industrial quarters among workmen promenading under the eyes of Cossacks with whips in their hands, but otherwise the city wore almost a normal appearance. The , weather, which was cold and raw, perhaps -acted as a deterrent to would-be demonstrators, as Russians dislike physical discomfort. th<* Prf>r?hrm'p>nsk'e ftemeterv. Where the principal meetings of honor 1 of }be "January martyrs,as the vie- ? tims of the "Red Sunday" are popu- < larly called, had been advertised, there 1 was a scanty crowd, composed largely ? of the curious. Cossacks dispersed the crowd, the more aggressive members t of which sang the "Marseillaise" as th'-y were crossing the fields. This t defiance was met by a charge of Cos- a sacks, who used their whiiis freely, in- i flioang many nasty injuries. There was a similar incident on Vas- < sili Island, where a dozen students, mainly girls, sang the "Marseillaise" <; and gathered a crowd. Cossacks can- k tered up and dispersed the crowd with whips, seeming to take special pleasure in slashing the girl students with their t whips, but the girls were apparently t nABA oo morfrne onH HoUh. i flilAJUUff IV puoc ag uuai. ij & uuu, erately provoked attack by singing f revolutionary songs. s The affair gave rise to rumors that a j number of persons had been killed, but j in the incident, which happened under j the eyes of a correspondent, sabres 1 were not even drawn, and nobody was i seriously hurt. j The day wound up with a tumult in one of the people's parks, where, while j r. merrymakers were dancing Russian ( national dances, agitators scattered r proclamations among the crowd and j drove a scanty guard of police into a ^ shallow artificial lake. Cossacks came ? up at a gallop wielding their whips, ^ rescued the police, and made numerous , arrests. It was noticeable that the j Cossacks rode widely apart, evidently j to minimize the effect of bombs should j they be thrown. ( The Governor General attributes the ] lacU of trouble largely to wholesale ( arn-sts of incendiary leaders. , xne presnge ot me social j_?eiuocrais ^ and Revolutionists has suffered , greatly by the day's failure, though J th<\v were trying that night to retrieve j it by issuing a manifesto attributing ( .."their inability to carry out the pro- , gram to the overwhelming force of ( military and proclaiming a general strike. The leaders were so confident j of success in advance of the event that they prepared a number of informal hospitals or bandaging stations in the neighborhood of the various advertised meeting pjaces in order to render first aid to the victims of the ex. pected rioting. Part of the onus of , their failure rests upon Father Gapon, who sent a message from abroad to the leaders of his old organization saying. "Do nothing until I return." , The police prevented a meeting of resident clergy who desired to pass J resolutions of sympathy with the Met- , ropolitan Antonius, who bas been transferred to the Caucasus on account , of bis agitation in favor of a revival , of the Patriarchate. When representatives of the clergy asked an officer if the> might hold a meeting in a church be replied in the negative, saying that '{ bis orders were not to permit a meeting anywhere.

TTT DrAwlnna C1511 I laiOB ?? CiC Atcuiv/??u ? A. AWVAVUa Attempts Had Been Made in Fast Months. Emporia, Kan.?Six persons were injur'*!. two fatally, in the wreck of the Santa Fe east-bound train, one mile east of Emporia at 2.30 in the morning, caused by malicious persons who were believed to be responsible for three other attempts to wreck Santa Fe trains near the same spot within the last four months. The wrecked train. No. 19, was running about thirty-eight miles an hour when it struck a curve on an embankment eight feet high. Here several rails had been loosened by the removal of spikes and flsk plates with tools stolen from the Howard branch section tool house. The engine was running so smoothly it did not leave the track, but sped over the loosened rails as if they were flrmly nailed to the ties. This fact, miraculous almost in itself, probably averted a disastrous wreck. The mail car, just behind the tender. loff thn trnntre nnrl the> tiPK AS SfVMl .IS it struck the loosened rails and was dragged 200 yards along the edge o? the embankment. The two express and baggage cars and the two days coaches and smoking :ar. nest behind, bumped on to the ties, then broke away from the mall :ar and engine and went sliding and bumping down the embankment, breaking through the fence that jounds the company's right of way and ailing up in a ziz-zag line 100 feet from the tracks. The smoker turned over >n its side, and the seven occupants, six of whom were injured, were helpess prisoners, till occupants of the :wo Pullmans, which did not leave :he tracks, and members of the train :rew came to their assistance. Grover, :he fireman, who was thrown from his mgine and suffered a wrenched shoulier. broke windows of the smoker, and thus released the imprisoned and injured men. Nate Hendricks, of Roswell, N. M., a vealthy cattleman, weighing 225 )ounds, was rescued with difficulty be'siisp of his size and weisrht. Of the >thers injured, James Eaguer, seventyline year9 old. from the Fort Leavenworth Soldiers' Home, was the only >ne mortally hurt His head and hands were cut, his back wrenched and his eft leg fractured in two places. J. L. Hooper, a farmer, of Packard, Mo., suf'ered a fractured elbow and a cut land. J. O. Rice, of Shawnee, O. T., vas badly bruised and his left ear was tlmost torn off. E. A. Taylor, the conluctor. will be laid up for some time. His hands and right leg were badly cut md four of his teeth were knocked out. Detectives working on the case found he tool9 stolen from the station house ying in a pool of water. They say hree strange men were seen loitering tround the section tool house one evenng i GENERAL WOOD KILLS MOROS. J Seven Americans Killed, Nineteen Wounded?Rebels Surrounded. ; Manila, P. I. ? Fierce fighting has )een going on the last two weeks on he Island of Jolo between the outlaw Horo chief Paja, with 600 well armed !ollowers, and troops under the per;onal command of Major-General Leonird Wood. Pala's losses have been 300 tilled, while those of General Wood lave been seven killed and nineteen ivounded. Pala and his remaining folowers, in accordance with Moro tradiion, prefer death to. capture. General Wood, with detachments :rom the Fourteenth Cavalry, the Sevfnteenth, the Twenty-second and the Cwenty-third Infantry and constabuary scouts, has driven Pala and his 'ollowers into a swamp, which has jeen surrounded. Pala was a noted slave trader and warrior when the Americans oc(?upied he islands. Later he escaped with lis followers to the Island of Pula Se;ar, near Borneo. One of Pala's'lead?rs deserted and took refuge in the British settlement at Lahad. Pala. liscovering his whereabouts, landed with a following and demanded of the British magistrate that lie turn tne deserter over to him. The demand waa lot complied with and Pala ordered;a nassacre. Twenty-five persons, injluding several Britons, were killed Pala escaped to the Island of Jolo and irganized the -present uprising. It is reported that the Borneo authorties requested General Wood to ap-? prehend Pala, dead or alive, and turn liim over to them. NAN PATTERSON LIBERATED. Chorus Girl Accused of the Murder of "Caesar" Young Again Free. New York City.?After an imprisonment of over eleven months "Nan" Patterson, the "Florodora" chorus girl, accused of shooting "Caesar" Young in a cab in New York City on June 4, 1904, has been set free on her own recognizance by request of District Attorney Jerome. Miss Patterson was then escorted from the court house and driven to her attorneys' offices, followed by a crowd of fully 5000 cheering people. She then drove to the St. Paul Hotel, and. accompanied by her father and sister, who was also freed of the charge of complicity in the case, and took a train for her home in Washington. D. C.

Laige Loving; Cap Valued at Five Thousand Dollars to Ba Presented to the Owner of the Winning Yacht?Two British Boats and One German Are Bntered in tbe Competition. Sandy Hook, N. Y.?The big transAtlantic yacht race began at 12.15 o'clock in the midst of a dense fog and against a light northeast wind. So thick was the weather that it was impossible for those who were not within at least a few hundred feet of the racers tp see the start or even hear the gun. The eleven yachts that are fighting for the possession of Emperor William's Cup were well out to sea before the majority of sightseers were aware that they had really left for good. The starting gun was fired on time, 12.15 o'clock, and a few minutes after the first yacht crossed. The Valhalla and Utowana missed the line and had to go back to get across. Disappointment prevailed in all quarters over the nastiness of the weather, the postponement of a uay in the start. The following eleven yachts were entered: Ailsa, owned by H. S. Redmond, sailed by Lem Miller; Apache, owned by Edmund Randolph, sailed by J. H. McDonall; Atlantic, owned by Wilson Marshall, sailed by Charles Barr; Endymion, owned by George Lauder, Jr., sailed by J. A. Loesch; FIdur de Lys, owned by Dr. Lewis A. Stimson, sailed by Thomas Bohlin; Hamburg (German) owned by j a syndicate, sailed by C. Peters; Hildegarde, owned by E. R. Coleman, sailed by S. M.' Marstens; Sunbeam (English), owned by Lord Brassey, sailed by A. S. Achard; Thistle, owned and sailed by Robert E. Tod; Utowana. owned by Allison V. Armour, sa|led by ,T. C. Crawford: Valhalla (English), owned by Earl of Crawford, sailed by J. Caws. It was chiefly through Commodore Tod's efforts that the race was arranged. He bad given prizes for several long distance races and induced Sir Thomas Lipton to offer a cup for a race across the Atlantic. Sir Thomas withdrew his offer when the Emperor made his. Promptly at 12 o'clock in the afternoon the preparatory signal was made from the tug Vigilant, on board of which boat was the starting committee. This committee was Commander H. G. Hebbinghaus, I. G. N.; Commander W. F. Halsey. U. S. N.; Oliver E. Cromwell, H. de B. Parsons, Newbury D. Lawton aud Edward H. Wales. It was agreed by all the owners that there should be no delay in the start, and as the gun fired the blue peter was hoisted. The other end of the line was marked by the Sandy Hook Light vessel. Ten minutes after the preparatory signal another gun was fired. At the same time the blue peter was run down o hail imicf-ori in its nlare. This was a warning signal and told the yachtsmen that they had five minutes before being sent off on their long journey. At 12.15 o'clock a third gun gave the signal to go. and the time9 of the yachts were taken from that gun. The race was then on. Sail was crowded on each boat and trimmed to suit the weather conditions, and the eleven handsome yachts headed for the Fire Island Lightship, whicli^piarked the first part of their course. Away out to the eastward stretched the wide expanse of ocean and 3000 miles away was the finishing line. There, the German cruiser Pfeil will wait for the yachts and make a line with the lighthouse on the Lizard. For days and nights the yachts will battle with the winds and seas. In calm or storm their crews will drive them on, each crew endeavoring to send his boat ahead so as to capture the rich prize offered by the German Emperor. This cup is worth $5000, and for the next three boats to finish there will be other prizes, and for these the plucky sportsmen nave nuea out their boats at costs varying from $20,000 to $40,000 each, and manned them -with big crews, provisioned them for the long journey and braved the unknown dangers of the deep. There has been some figuring on the length of time that will be taken for the race. The Earl of Crawford, who owns the Valhalla, thinks that if the winds are strong and come from the west the race may be ended in nine days and that his boat can win. The Valhalla under such conditions can sail sixteen knots an hour. Some will take the northern passage and brave the perils of ice and fog. Others will keep further south, preferring not to take chances with ice, and trust to getting fresher winds and so make up what they will lose by keeping to the south. For day and night perhaps for two weeks all sail will be carried and the boats driven on to the finish. The scene off Sandy Hook was a memorable one. A big fleet of boats was there to see the racers start, and these racers presented a picture that few can paint. The race is one without restrictions. The boats sail just as their owners may choose. There is no time allowance. No racing rule will bother the skippers?only the rules of the road at sea will govern, and the first boat in will win. CHURCH BILL ADOPTED.

HIRAM CRONK HONORED F New York City Pays Homage to Vet- S eran of War of 1812. t Remains of Deceased Rest in State in A the City Hall of the metropolis. New York City.? In ^tribute co old Hiram Cronk, last survivor of 1812, iC funereal black was run around the City u Hall, at the level of the second floor jt cornices and the pillars of the main fl portico fronting the park were heavily p swathed in black wrappings. Part of p the $3000 which the Aldermen appro- Si priated was; spent in putting the Hall o in half mourning. h The ceremony of receiving the body l5( at the City Hall was simple and im- ^ pressive until the police lines in the park were relaxed and the rush of ai curious persons began. U. S. Grant in Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, had acted w as guard of honor on the march from d< the Grand Central Station. A detail c? from the post, acting as pallbearers, gi bore the coffln from the hearse to the bi bier in the rotunda of the building. ti Police lines were formed, and as soon L as the coffin "was uncovered the mem- bi bers of the U. S. Grant Post were the fc first to file past. They were followed w by members of the Society of the War h; of 1812 and delegations of women rep- d; resenting various historical and patriotic societies. The guard of honor o( from the G. A. R. post was then with- ui drawn, the police formed lines across w the first floor of the building, and the m public were admitted to pass the coffin 01 in a steadily moving line. si The City Hall inside was elaborately 0f decorated or draped. From arch, post, to pillar and stair railing in the rotunda hung great streamers of black cloth, nj trimmed with purple. Huge folds of the black cloth were draped back under ^ stairways and in dark corners, and jj, over all the doors hung streamers of u the mourning emblem. U1 The box of flowers was placed at the head of the bier. The flags on the l, building -were placed at half mast. tl The police made ample arrangements fr for handling the crowds while the body fv remained in the building. Persons ja who wished to view'th; body entered the building in two lines through the es main entrance on the south side. They w passed between lines of police on either p( side of the coffin and passed out at the jj rear, door. No person was allowed to tj. enter the building through the doors ^ on the north, which were used solely for exit. , ?j. The body, in a heavy solid oak coffin arrived from up-State on the New York sr Central at 7.35 o'clock i:a the morning. Colonel Butt, commanding Grant Post, ?j' G. A. R., -was on board the train in . or active charge. With hiin as mourners tl] were the immediate members of Hiram Cronk's family, headed by his oldest son, Philander Cronk, n man eightyone years old. There were two other sons, William, seventy-irwo years old, sa and John, sixty years old; the veteran's only surviving daughter, Mrs. Sarah ^ Rawley, seventy-one years old;. Frank gt Cronk, a nephew, arid Dr. and Mrs. C. ^ L. Morehouse. Mrs. Morehouse is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Rawley. The party of relatives made, the trip from Booneville, N. Y., as the guest of United States Senator Chauucey M. Depew. The coffin remained in the baggage , room at the Grand Central Station 2, until 10 o'clock. On the heavy oak . top was a small silver plate, bearing N the following inscription: ? O : HIRAM CRONK; : II : Aged 105 years 4 months, ; gi : Last Survivor of tho War of 1812. : : : di tt There were two handsome floral ?' pieces, une naa Deen seni uy me iui;ui ? posts of the G. A. R. and the other by the Society of the War of 1812. g There was a good sized crowd outside, the Forty-second street entrance of the ^ station when the procession started j. for the City Hall. In front went a" detail of eight mounted policemen, heatted by Roundsman Davis. The policemen cleared a path down Fifth avenue for the procession and turned all north- J bound vehicles into the side streets. A delegation of members of Grant Post, G. A. R., came next, forming a t personal escort to Colonel Butt. The b Eighth Infantry Band, raying dead marches, followed, and close behind , the band was a company of regulars .. from Governor's Island, under Captain \ Evan N. Johnson. The heavy hearse, draped in black trappings and drawn by four black horses, was flanked by double lines of members of Grant Post, G. A. R. Then there was a delegation of Daughters of the War of 1812, who preceded fifty members of the Society of the War of C 1S12. A fifer and a drummer led six Minute Men and two officers representing the Army and Navy. The end of the pro- fj cession was made up of carnages.

A special committee of Aldermen filled the other carriages. They "wore |l high hats and white gloves. The Chair- " man of the Aldermanic committee was John Wirth, and Lis associates were General Daniel E. Sickles and Aldermen Owens, Dougherty. Kenney, Cog- ^ gey and Kline. Nearly every imaginable sort of uni- P form, ancient, modern and in between, E figured in the procession. VASE SOLD FOR $29,500.

I. ? i m a nri.A una in Colombian Army as a General. New York City.?The smallest Amer:an republic, Panama, dedicated her avy to service, and for the first time 1 these waters the flag of the republic oated from the peak of a vessel. Apropriately enough, the smallest reubfic has also the smallest navy, consting of one trim little yacht, which, n her arrival at Colon several weeks euce, will be transformed into a gunsat by the mounting of her armament. It had been the original intention of aptain T. T. ljovelace, formerly of Kansas City, and now known in Colon nd Panama as "El Almirante," to lake the dedication of the havy over hich he holds absolute command a >uble event. The party which was to ?lebrate the event of the navy's inaujral was to have been taken down the ly to view the starting of the race for le Kaiser's Cup, but when Captain ovelace got word that the start would i postponed, the ceremony was perirmed at the dock of the Morse Iron 'orks, in Bay Ridge, where the vessel is berthed since her trial run several 1 lys ago. > The Orienta was in gala dress for the :casion. Captain Lovelace wore the aiform of his rank and his officers ere also resplendent in gold lace. A erry party that filled the tiny cabin ; the vessel had come on board, constiug of Carlos Arosemena, Secretary ; the Panamanian Legation; Miss Vicria Guardia, niece of the Secretary of tate of the republic; the Misses Arias, eces of the Minister of Foreigu Aflirs; Francisco Arias, son of Ricardo rias. Financial Envoy of the Repub;; Miss Stimson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank art. and Mr. and Mrs. J. X. Aroseena. Luncheou was served on board, Mrs. ovelace acting as hostess, after which le flag of the republic was brought oin a locker where it had been carellly stowed away by Captain Lovece and fastened to the halyards, and le Union Jack and the revenue flag, specially designed by the captain, ere respectively fastened to the fore?ak r.ud the maintop halyards. To rs. Arosemena and Miss Guardia fell le honor of raising these two flags at ie same time that the Secretary of Leltion raised the standard of the couny. The Panamanian flag consists of four luares, two of white, one in the up?r left and the other in the lower gat nana corner, ana two squares, ie each of red and blue. In one of le white squares there is a single star ! blue and in the other a red s^ar. When the crew had been called to jarters and all the preliminaries had ;en arranged Secretary Arosemena lid: "In the absence of the Minister the mor devolves upon me to raise the andard of our country on this beautiil little vessel and to dedicate her to ie country's service. May she carry ir flag into many ports on peaceful issions and ever uphold the honor of ir republic!" The flags were hoisted to the peaks, hile the big United States transports ing near blew shrill blasts on their histles. The Orienta was scheduled i leave for Colon, her route being to orfolk. Savannah, Jacksonville, Key ''est, and through the Caribbean Sea. 11 her arrival there she will be fitted ith two three-pounder Hotchkiss guns id two automatic Maxim rapid-firing ins. Captain Lovelace is the typical solier of fortune. He was a general in ie service of Colombia in the last revution. The Orienta was built originally for ' . R. Ladew. , Lewiri R. Nixon degned her, and she was built at the lizabethport yards jn 1901, at the me of the machinists' strike. Captain o-elace bought the little vessel for is Government for something like 50 000. The vessel on her trial trips had not >me up to the standard, and on an inaction Captain Lovelace found her ndenser tubes had been stopped with ooden plugs driven into them with a lallet. In the water-tube boiler six:en of the tubes were plugged with 3iler punching?. "The scheme of the disgruntled majurists to throw back the vessel on ie hands of the builders by practically isabling her worked to my benefit." lid Captain Lovelace, "for I bought er for about half price."

Comparison of New York With Oilier Large Cities of the TVorld? Crowing Rapidly. New York City.?All preliminary arrangements for taking the 1905 census of New York, city and State, have been perfected, although the actual work of counting noses will not begin until June 1. Thomas Edwin Brows. Jr., Supervisor for New York County, has opened offices at No. 150 Nassau street. This census will be taken in quicker time and at less cost than any previous one. Estimating on the figures of the last census, it is believed that New York will show a population of nearly four millions. Of these a little less than two millions are housed on the island of Manhattan: Brooklvn will be cred ited with about 1,370,000, the Bronx with 324,000, Queens with about 200,000 and Richmond with about 76,000. Amazing as it may seem, it has been figured out that New York City's population increases at the rate of three per cent, a year, adding more than 100,000 souls in every twelve months, equivalent to the absorption of a city as big as Scranton, Pa. It is rapidiy overtaking London, England, which, in the census of 1901 had 4,537,000 persons, and in the course of no very long time Manhattan Borough alone will pass Paris, France, which in that year had 2,714,000. As for American cities, it is so far ahead that none of them can possibly catch up. Allowing to Chicago, 111., and Philadelphia, Pa., the same rate of growth New York City has enjoyed, the former will count only 2.000,000 this year and Philadelphia 1,500,000. Under a statute passed last March, the entire work of this year's State census will be in charge of the Secretary of State, but the actual work will be under the control of W. C. Hunt, head of the population division of the Federal Census Bureau, who has been loaned to the State by the National Government. A supervisor has been appointed for each of the counties, and Mr. Brown has the work of this one. Mr. Brown will have twelve assistants, chosen from the Senatorial dis tricts, and each of these assistants will have'charge of one-twelfth of the city. These, in turn, will have direction of the enumerators, on the basis of one for every election district, numbering nearly 900 in all. This year the cost will be unusually small, only $300,000 having been appropriated for the whole State. That is why the Secretary of State has ordered that the work shall begin on June 1 and be finished in two weeks, although the statute permits all of May and June. Each enumerator will receive $2 a day and one cent for every name he records. These men are chosen from the election districts, but fitness is made a first requisite. No attempt will be made to gather industrial figures in the census. The main duty will be to find out just 1 many persons live in New York, and upon the findings will depend the reapportionment of the State into Senatorial and Assembly distriots. Veiled murderess dies. Henrietta Robinson, Long a Prisoner, Never Told Her Name. Newburg, N. Y.?Henrietta Robinson, who was known as the "veiled murderess," and whose name was assumed, died at the Matteawan State Hospital the other morning. According to the only clue she ever j gave to her identity she belonged to one of the English titled families. This much of her secret was gleaned by hospital physicians about a year ago. Securely sewed in her needle case 1 the authorities found, after her death, a locket and a worn piece of newspaper upon which was written: "When first I saw this world of joy and pain, Assailed by doubt that ever will remain, I wondered what it meant to live to die? The question oft I pondered, but in vain." Of late years she had been visited by no person but her attorney, who saw her once in about five years. She received a box at Christmas from a Philadelphia woman, whose identity the hospital authorities refuse to divulge. As no one claimed the body she was UUJL'ieU ill UiC vvu?v?iva^ i When it was apparent she was going to die, she was urged to reveal her identity, but refused. She said she had kept the secret during the half century she had been in prison and it would die with her. Mrs. Robinson was arrested for the murder of Timothy Lanagan and Catherine Lubee in Troy, N. Y.. in 1853. She insisted upon wearing a veil during her trial," though urged to remove it by the Judge and Martin I. Townsend. her attorney. She was convicted, sentenced to be hanged and sent to Sing Sing in 1855. Her sentence was commuted and in 1873 she was sent to Auburn. About fifteen years ago she was removed to the Matteawan Hospipal for the Criminal Insane. She was a quiet prisoner, and of late years had spent her time in making lace, which she wore. The hospital records show that she was seventyeight years old, but on her last birthday anniversary she said she was eighty-nine. Thinks There Was No Foul Play. Richard Croker.
