‘DRESSMIKER TOTHE 400 DROPS OE Mrs. Rallings, Fashionable \.* Modiste for Half a Cen- \ tury, Succumbs to Strain * Brought On by Rush of ‘ Orders for Easter and the Vanderbilt - Neilson Wedding at Newport, NANDERBILTS AND \. ASTORS AMONG PATRONS. Was Sitting in Chair Talking to { Daughter. About Design She ¥ Had Just Finished for a Dress ‘for Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs : When, Complaining of Over- work, She Fell Back Lifeless. ‘Mrs, Elfza Rallings, who under the Mame of Miss Vera Rallings has man- aged a dressmaking establishment at No. 495 Fiftin avenue for more than fifty ‘years, with the upper crust of New York society es patrons, died suddenly to-day in her Fifth avenue apartments. ‘Though Mrs. Railings, who was soven- ty-five years old, had been troubled with acute indigestion for a year, the tre- “mendous Baster rush this year, together with preparations for the Vgnderbilt- Nellson wedding, are held directly re- @ponsible for her death, Fifty years ago Mrs. Rallings, who ame of a family that had moved in the Dest circles of New York and Philadel- Phia society, started a small dress- making shop on Fifth avenue. She ‘ptarted with a small but select patron- age, which rapidly increased as her cu: ftlomers found that she possessed re- markable skill as a designer. Among ‘her early patrons were Mrs. Williem “stor and Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt. { To Paris Twice a Year. ""-tafter ehe had been in business for a few years she made two trips every year to Paris, bringing home the earli- est fashions for the summer and winger seasons. For more than forty years she ‘had never failed to make these two ‘trips to the French capital each year, and early last month she returned from her last trip. ‘This last trip to the fashion centre of Yhe world was a memorable one for Mrs. Rallings. She not only had a greater volume of Paster orders than ever before, but more than one hun- red special orders from guests invited to attend the Vanderbilt-Nellson wed- ‘ding at Newport. Upon her return she {mmediately began work designing. ‘Though this aged woman had nearly ftwo score people employed in the Fifth “venue house, which she occupied from wellar to garret, she never intrusted the Gesign of even the simplest bit of femi- mine apparel to any one in her employ, but did it herself, |. Nerves Finally Gave Way. Since her return from Paris she had been working heroically and, according to her physician, Dr. Fritz Swelzer, of No. 64 East Fifty-elghth street, her merves gave way under the strain and she began to suffer with acute nervous in- ion, “As a result,” sald Dr. Swelzer to- Way, ‘Mrs, Rallings practically ‘starved to death, as she was unable to eat and retain any nourishing food. “A woman occupying the position Mrs, fRallings did must be possessed of re- markable patience, for there are no harder customers in the world than these society women. She told me, only a short time ago, that the way @heze women harried her would be the death of her. They never took \ their complaints to any of her fore- ‘women, but always came directly to her. As tho was really an artist in her line, sho took e great deal of in her work, and the ceaseless complaints worked on her nerves in a most distressing way. It was differ- ent when she was younger and pos- sessed of indomitable patience; but as she grew to an advanced age she be- gan to fret and worry, Direct Cause of D. “I don’t think there*is any doubt that the tremendous Waster trade and the extra orders for that Newport wed- ing were directly reaponsible for her to her daughter, Mrs. Viola Ackerman, bout a design she had just Anished for iad ordered by Mre.

I am quite convinced you were the mainstay and chtef of this miserable game. “When the Legislature in Its wisdom fixed a. maximum penalty for this crime it evidently had in view the conviction of such persons as you. And I see no y, jhe maximum "penalty imposed in your case. “The sentence of this Court {s that ube inprisoned in the State prison at Sing Bing for a term of not less than oe year or more than one year and ine months and pay a fine of $1,000, in defaukt.of which payment you shali suffer’a penalty of one day's imprison- ment for each dollar of the fine.” Former Couvictions. The old indictments against Adams show that on May 18, 1883, he, with John Carr, John Bergen, George Pryor, John McCormack and Michael J. Ber- gen, “Bill \fvery’s brother-in-law, pleaded guilty lo two indictments for allowing the premises Nos. 100 and 102 West Thirty-second street to be used for gambling purposes. A fine of $10) each was imposed on the six defendants and they paid. On the second indlot- ment the six pleaded guilty and were allowed to go free on suspended sen- tence.

He instructed the Sheriff charge of Adams, but District- Attorney Jerome moved that the prisoner be ‘committed to the custody of the Warden of the Tombs, and Justice Scott so instructed the Sheriff. Before Adams was led away the news- paper men aproached him to ask his opinion of the sentence. He turned away with an angry gesture and, sur- rounded by a bodyguard of deputies, was led over the Bridge of Sighs to a cell in the Tombs. His son, “Al” J, Adams, jr., who de- clared that the newspape: e respon- sible for his father's conviction, was almost prostrated when aentence was passed upon his father.

Little One Prattles to Her Father, Broker Blackmur, in Court and the Mother Tear- fully Relents. Jn the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, to- day there was a little family reunion that is unusual in divorce proceedings, especially when the wife has conclusive evidence against the husband. A child brought the warring parents together. The mother showed the forgiving na- ture of her sex when she requested that the proceedings should be’ stopped, and took her husband home, The wife is Mrs. Rebecca Adelaide Blackmur, whose husband {s Horace Alfred Blackmur, fr,, a stock broker at No. Wall street. The action for.a divorce was beeun by Mrs. Blackmur on April 6, She named an Ida Morrison as co-reepond- ent. Mrs, Blackmur alleged that her hus- band left her several months ago, Bhe was forced to work for $6@ week as a saleswoman 1 a department store in Brooklyn to suppport herself and chilis ‘Their marriage, she sald, was solemn- jzed in the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Brooklyn, in 18%, Child Sees Father, Lawyer Frederick L.

COULDN'T DO IT. Didn't Know the Food She Used Lacked Bullding Material, Proper food brought a woman and her child out of sickness into health. A lady living im Madison, Wis., re- lates her experience, which certainly is interesting. She says: “For about fifteen months I was an invalid and a part of that time caring for a little baby girl, Different physicians said I had heart trouble, torpid liver, nervous prostration and female trouble. Finally I was sent down to Chicago to my uncle, a good old physician, He said the difficulty all came from my not being able to build up from the kind of food I had been using, “I had run down from 130 pounds to 98 and had about made up my mind I would never get well. He put me on a diet of Grape-Nuts with good cream and graham crackers, a little stale bread when I wanted it, and butter, but no meat and no med- icine. “In) two months I got so I could sleep sound where before I used to walk the floor all night, My sick feelings left me and | began to get well. I wedned the baby, but she was very sickly and puny. The doc- tor eald it would be a wonder if we ever raised her, Grape-Nuts had done so much for me I concluded to put her on the food, and gat a coffee mill to grind it In, and gave it to her with good cream, She picked up very auiekly and began to gain flesh and strength.

SHE WOULDN'T ‘ROBBERS TOOK WANT FOR OEATH Young Woman Dying with Con- sumption Hurls Herself from Fourth-Story Window in Har- lem and Is Killed. Miss Mary Laing, on her death-bed with consumption, Jumped from a win- dow of the flat occupied by her family ‘on the fourth floor of No. 277 West One Hundred and Twenty-seventh street early to-day, striking on an ‘ron railing In the street In front of the building and inetantly kilting hergelf. The invalid, who was twenty-three years old, had been in bed two weeks, and a few days ago, after herself no- tiolng her steady and swift deciine un- der the ravages of the disease, was In- formed that ehe had only a few days to live. She became melancholy and during periods of yesterday she was delirious. Her mother and two brothers, with whom she lived, had beén with her con- atantly, relleving each other, for several days, as they feared she would try to harm herself. After 10 o'clock last night she was conscious, although belleved to be too weak then to leave her bed. The mother thought ste was even too weak to turn in bed without assistance. About 8 o'clock this morning the fn- valid asked her mother, who was then the sole watcher, to bring a glass of water. While her mothe was out of the room getting the water Miss Laing vi d across the room, Meee eee erone winiow and leaped out. In midair she gave a terrific scream rtled the neighborhood. The young woman's emaciated and crushed body was found hanging Imp on the low iron railing on the street below. lice first sent it to the Wert One red. and Twenty-fifth street sta- tion, and then, by permission of the Coroner, permitted the relatives to re- move {t' to thelr home. which Two Highwaymen Beat Woman ht of Lifetime’s Savings. Mrs. Gluseppe Galantuono was bri- tally assaulted and robbed of $8,000 *in cash at her home, at No. 46 North Fifth avenue, Mount Vernon, this afternoon. ‘The money represented the savings of her husband and herself after years o. toil, The assault and robbery were com- mitted by two men, who escaped. The woman's husband, when ho learned tha, the savings of a lifetime were gor atempted to commit suicide, but was restrained. About 2 o'clock this afternoon Mra. Galantuono was found lying unconsctous on the floor of her kitchen by other tenants of the building, which is an apartment house. Her face had been bacly beaten. A physiclan was sum- moned and the woman soon revived and told her story. She sald that soon after her husband had left the house to return to work, having come home for his noon meal, she was sitting in the kitchen with her back toward the door when she heard a@ noise at the door and, turning around, saw two men entering. Before she had tlme to ask them what they wanted one of them rushed at her and struck her with some kind of weapon, Blow after blow was rained upon her fread ad stace until she fell uric to the floor, Her assailants after lost her ssn: ad searched ter cloth- Ing and fornd concealed in the bosom of her dress a bag containing §%,000 In Dilis of various desominations. Some months ago there was a run on a Mount Vernon bank, and at that time Galantuono withdrew his savings from the bank, and his wife ever since had carried the money. Detectives are at work on the case, but so far have found no clue to the robbery. B.Altmans Go. Suit Department. 24 Floor.
