New York. Jan. 22.?Sweeplrg through the crowded restaurant which take* up the eighth' rt-?or of Macey'? oepartment store ani Into the gontle men'i cafe today, a tall stylishly drese d wonuiu bent for a moment over the Jit-ulder of a dir? r, whispered some thin? !n his ear and then drawing a e\i?lvcr from het muff emptied tho onttuu: of the five chamber* into his tody.

She died half ar ht ar lef?*. A note found :n the woman's pur?? pro\ed her to be Mis. Mary Roberts Clark, a manicurist, the widow of a police oTkvi- and stepmother of a 0 > ear-old son. Raytnond. Brady was ffc >ears (-HI and the sohl juppott of r. helpless aged mother for whom he had made a ht m?. The (hooting was the culmination cf a MlSfM of \iolent quam U, and. according to the woman's intimates, in fulfillment of a threat t> murder frady in a public placo. The suicide, whe was about 3?? years ? f ago, was Mary Mcl?ean when she married John Roberts. When the kit ?lr diod a year tpo, she assumed tho iiamo cl Clark and supported herself and her child first as tho wadrcbe wo r on at an uptown theatre and :^an as a manicurist. She was of a pre |io' jc.Xiing appt avence and had marked bu?ines? ability. Whlld shj was tu poorsr circumstances and before the death of her husband, Brady had lodg? ings at her home and she declared that she helped him to th? success which he suh.*equently attained. A few moths ago he leit her home and n>ade u ho,v.e for his mother, when he bgought her from Now Jer? sey. Recently Mr* (Jlark thought tbot Brady was avoiding htr and when hJ callei at her homo eccasionallv they quarreled.

The big room was filled w'?th women who were lunch? ing after the morning's shopping, and amid the buzz of conversation her agi? tated manner attracted the attention only of the waiters. Jn a moment she stood behind Bra? dy's chair and spoke to him. Before he had timo to reply she had shoved a revolver in his face and commenced firing. The head, the nock, the shoul? der, the breast and tho abdomen worn successively plorccd by bullets, and Drady lay dead at her feet. Giving one glance at the half dozen men nearby, who were momentarily stun? ned by the ?rhootlng. Mrs. Clark took the o*her weapon from tho muff and put the bullet in her right ear and ! two others in her bo?om. The reports retailed consternation and there wa? in rush for the elevator. Empires of j the piece quickly closed the doors, shutting oft a view of the smoking room, and reassured the worr.^n pa ' Irons, few of whom realized what h id i occurred. The rollce broke the news to Brady's aged mother and the Gerry society took charge of the dead wom? an's body. T? noy Mows' Description.

COOKS AND BLIND TICUPItS. Lancaster Negroes Said to be? Able to Make More Money Selling; Whiskey Than Working*lor White People. A piomlnent citizen of Lancaster fays hi.-* cook, a colored woman told hlin that the reason why servarts arc so difficult to gel is because negroes arc mak'ng more money selling liquor, than they can pottibly earn by work ii.g for the white people. If there is any tvuth in the report, it is an un phasant conmn-'mtary an the manner in which our prohibition laws are be? ing enforced. No liquor can be le? gally sold in this community or COtlSr ty under existing laws, and If there arc persons, whether white or black, engaged In the nefarious business ol running blind tigers they should be suppressed. But this matter rests largely with the people themselves. They voted for prohibition, and now if they want prohibition they must help to enforce the law.
