to add . to her troubles. Her enemlee

the troubles and discords ef, the risks
station and declared that r the office
ahould be abandoned for ..' the publto
good.
Only In so much as Mrs. Cecil was. de
prived of her mean of a livelihood waa.
the triumph of the opposition. -The de
partment did not uphold the charges
brought agalnat her by thoae who op
posed her. But she never knew of the
order Issued, by the government depriv
ing her of her tneana of livelihood, aa
ahe waa too 111 to be told.
For nearly a month the lone woman
kept up tha unequal atruggle, but Anally
on the evening of July J, about 4:10
o'clock, -death's angels wiped- out the
cares of the poatmlatreaa at risks and,
freed from the burden, the spirit of the
suffering woman paeeed out - of thle
life. , . Undlaeloaed by the physician's
dlagnoals waa the atory of troublee and
caree that- broke down the health of
Mra. Cell and literally worried her te
death. - -k '
At the time of her death Mr. Cecil

the funeral announced for Friday after
noon, Anguat 10. . It waa impossible to
locate any of h.r relatives or her di
vorced husband and the body was taken
charge of by the authorities. The only
relative which the unfortunate woman
had In thla part of the country waa

now being cared for by friends.
Undertaker Weet searched diligently
and faithfully for soma relative of the
dead woman, but at the time of her

(Jearaal Special Bwrlee.) '
' New Tork. Aug. to. N.xt winter will
see the greatest social war New Tork
haa ever known, and In it the complex
ion of Fifth avenue banquet tableemay
be changed and Newport may have an
Influx of new Inhabitants. .
The battle le between Senator W. A.
Clark and Charles M. Schwab and their
wives, on the one hand, and a-large
part ef the "four hundred" on the other.
Arrayed behind Clark and Schwab are
dosene of othere .of great wealth, who
for several yeara have been amarting
under the anavet Insolence of the eet
that la satisfied 'to gat along without
them. "
The specific Issue" of the battl. is
found Ip that abode of lyrlo art, the
Grand opera-houe. The possession of
the parterre boxes at the Metropolitan
opera-houae haa been carefully guarded
by i. PLrpont Morgan, J. J, Aetor, Jerry
Belmont, Adrlen Ieelln and others eloae
1 allied to toe-feur hundred."
When Clark, Schwab and certain ether
socially ambitious multl-mllllonalree
tried to get parterre boxea they were
met with cold emllea. Then when In
surance scandals smirched some ef the
names that appear on the Metropoli
tan's parterre diagram Clark and
Schwab felt still more aggrieved that
euch men ehould have been admitted,
while they eould not get In. About this
time Hammerateln. th. theatre builder
and vaudeville magnate, became ambi
tious to be an Impresario and built the
Manhattan opera-house. Then he found
to have all grand opera competition cor.
nered he must have - strong ' flnanchU
sympathy. Maybe he kept his hand oa
the social pula. of N.w York and knew
what millionaires he ehould appeal to,
for no one ever accused him of stupid
ity, although he at tlmea la amualng.
they would back him to th. limit. When
.the curtain goee up the Hammereteln
opera-houae will represent a caah ex
penditure of f2.EOO.000. and, with the
millions of Schwab and Clark behind
him. It Is hard to see how he can fall.
. But what will happen to Schwab and
CI ark T They and the . others behind
Hammerateln purpose exercising ' the
eame are over the list of box holders
that the Metropolitan directors have
done with their diagram. If they auo
ceed In getting a Hat of names in some
measure equaling the Metropolitan, mi

Mra Vanderbllt and aome oth.ra, th.y
will be In a position during the follow
