MAN BUR THE WRONG WOMA Husband Notifled by Hospital Superintendent that His Wife ls Dead and Her Body Sent to the Morgue. Ignacio Valente, of No. 21 East Forty- fifth street, 1s seeking through the courts to recover $260 he spent in bury- ing and holding fitting funeral services ever the body of a woman he belleved to be his wife. His misconception was fue to the error of the officers of the Metropolitan Hospital. He sued the city to recover the money and Justice Joseph, of the Seventh Muricipal Dis- trict Court, while holding that his clalm was good, decided that as the hospital is @ State institution the State and not the city must be the defendant in the action. ‘The most remarkable feature of tho strange episode revealed in the suit is that while Valente, his friends and rela- tives were attending the funeral ser- vices of the supposed Mrs. Valente, she was weeping bitterly in the hospital over her husband's neglect In not call- ing upon her and sending her the itttle elicacies she craved. Mis, Conchetta Valente became il! last June and was taken to the Metropolitan Hospital, She was in a serious condl- tion, hovering between life and death for many weeks. Her husband was « constant caller at the hospital, though he was rarely allowed to see the sick woman because of her dangerous con- dition, Just as he was about to start for the hospital on Aug. 2 he received a printed notice signed by Supt. B. F, Merwin, of the institution, notifying him that his wife had died at the hospital and re- questing him that he make arrange- ments for the burial of her body. He found on calling at the hospital that the body had been taken to the iorgue. He cveut there, but was not permitted to see the body, and when the official red tape inyolving the re- ‘moval of the body to @ burlal piace bad been unwound, he still had not viewed the remains of what he believed was his dead wife. A few days after the burial had taken place and the husband and near rela- tives of Mrs. Valente had put on mcurn- ing the grief-stricken man was shocked when a man he met on the street charged him with neglecting his wife. “Jt is a shame that you do not go and nes your wife at the hospital,” said the (rend. “What?” anked the astonished “wid- “ewer.” “{ say it Is an outrage that you neg: Jeot your wife 0, Just as she is recoy- ering from @ dangerous illness,” “my wife 18 dead,” stuttered the maxed man.

Netghbora of Mrs, Maud Cassel, # young widow of two weeks, of No. 2 Third avenue, when they knocked at her door to-day to again urge her to eat of the broth and little delicacies they had prepared to the best of their humble means, found her lifoless on the floor, She had died of starvation. ‘The young woman had not deliberately starved to death, nor was her cupboard empty. For two weeks solicitous friends had urged her to eat, and used some of thelr scanty savings to buy the grief- stricken woman dainty and relishing food nev provided for their own tables: but In the fourteen days since her husband was taken, dying, from their apartment, she has not ‘eaten a morsel of food. Mr. Cassel was a hard-working young man; and the home life of the young couple had been serene. They had been married half a dozen years and in all that mle never had a serious quarrel. The suddenness with which the man was stricken and the subsequent, almost tm- mediate, notification of his death, left tho widow in a dazed condition from which she never recovered. From the day Mrs. Cassel returned from the funeral she had not spoken a half-dozen words. She had received all the sympathy and encouragement from her neighbors and friends in pathetic silence. She was never hys- terical nor violent in the expression of her grief, but she seemed crushed with melancholy that amounted to a serious physical malady. She made a few un- successful efforts to eat of the jelly and broth that was laid before her, but turned away feebly to the fondling of the few little trinkets that remained to her as souvenirs of her husband, Mrs. Loulsa Wellzau, her nearest neighbor, said to-day shat to her knowl- edge the young woman had not eaten a crumb of food In ten days. She was so weak yesterday that she could barely totter about her apartment. Neverthe- less, she turned away from the food and stimulants which she was urged to eat. When list seen alive she was sitting by the front window of her flat, looking out into the street. She was found to-day stretched upon the floor, where she had silpped from her chair, She was fully dressed and qnad beens dead several hou CLEVER DOCTOR Cured a 20 Years’ Trouble Without Any Medicine, A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years’ stomach disease without any medicine, as his patient tells: “T had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medjcines, patent medicines and all the simple reme- dies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. “Winally, a doctor who is the most prominent ghysician in this part of the State told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stom- ach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. “T cried out in alarm, ‘Quit drin ing Coffee! Why, what will I drink? “Try Postum,’ said the doctor, ‘I drink it, and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious, and has none of the bad effects coffee has,’ “Well, that was two years ago, and am still drinking Postum.
