9 HEROIC SWIMMER |Marriage of Woman of 35 and Man of 50 __ DIES BY POISON AT EDGE OF SUR Lawyer Schem, Who Won Wife by Rescue, a Suicide at Belle Harbor. HAD “FUNERAL BRIDAL.” Sombre Joke of West Hobo- ken Friends Cast Shadow of Fatality. Running along the beach at the foot of Oriental avenue, Belle Harbor, Rock- away, early this morning, for a dip in the surf, Alexander Scott came across the body of a man, fully dressed, except for a hat, lying on the sand out of reach of the waves. By the side of the body was a closed umbrella and at- tached to the handle of the umbrella! was @ sealed letter addressed to Jullus| Bedssbarth, proprietor of the Sansara at Rockaway Park. Mr, Belssbarth was notified by the Police. He Identified the body as that of his nephew, Alexander J. Schem, twenty-seven years old, a lawyer, of West Hoboken, N. J. The letter stated that the writer had decided to commit suicide and was sorry to cause any one trouble, There were traces of corrosive poison on the face and mouth of the dead man. No bottle or other receptacle was found in the vicinity, but it would have been Possible for Schem, after taking the Poison, to throw the bottle into the sea, HIS “MARRIAGE-FUNERAL” HELD BY FRIENDS. Mr. Beissbarth was shocked by the tragic end of his nephew and he recalled @ happening of last March, when Schem married a Brooklyn girl he had saved from drowning, that caused some comment among the superstitious, Af- ter the wedding some of Schem's men friends gave a party in his honor in West Hoboken, The party was held in a room draped with black cloths and decorated with skulls and emblems of death. The guests attended dressed in the funeral garb of undertakers, the proceedings, four pallbearers, carrying @ coffin, preceded by four candle bearers, entered the room. The coffin, which was placed on a table ‘before Schem, bore a silver plate, in- scribed: Alexander J. Schem, bachelor, aged twenty-seven, departed this life of single blessedness, the victim of the wiles of a lovely woman. Good luck to the two. In the coMn was a cut-giass punch ift to the bridal pair from West Hoboken friends. The Hotel 20 $86 funeral burlesque was not popular with | the relatives of Schem and his wife, but Schem thought it Apparently he was in perfect health at that time. Two weeks ago Schem, who lived with his wife at No, 618 Charles street, West Hoboken, experienced a sudden and severe attack of illness. He visited a doctor, who told him his heart was seriously affected. The information con- verted Schem from a care free, pros- perous and ambitious young lawyer into % moody, despondent pessimist. TELEPHONED TO KEEP MoveE-| MENTS FROM BRIDE. His wife and mother and friends of | the family tried in vain to cheer him up, Yesterday he appeared to feel better and left his home saying that he was going to his office. To carry out the deception he telephoned from his home to his clerk stating his inter tion of appearing at his place of bust+ ness in the Commonwealth Trust Com- pany Building, West Hoboke| Instead of going to his office Schem journeyed to Rockaway. Evidently he started for the hotel of his uncle, where he had stopped many times, changed his mind. Karly last evening he registered at the Park Inn, which fs only a few doors from Reiss place. Schem did not notify his ty-five or thirty-eight and the man of however, that he was at R y.| fifty.

Holds the Greatest Prospect of Happiness At These Ages Both Have Sense as Well as Sentiment, and Are More Tolerant, Declares Mrs, Thomas J. Vivian, Noted Clubwoman. No One Is Ever Too Old to Marry, but Most Americans Rush Into Marriage Too Young—None Should Marry Before Age of Thirty. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “The marriage holding the greatest probability of happiness ts the sone that takes place between the woman of thirty-five and the man of fifty. “No one t@ ever too old to marry, but a large majority of Amert cans marry too young. “The children of couples who have not marred untit after their Arat youth are mentally and physically superior to the offepring of early marriages.” Mrs. Thomas J. Vivian, president and founder of the National Society of the Daughters of Calffornia and one of New York's best. known clubwomen, ls Tesponsible for these interesting asser- tions. Yesterday I showed Mrs. Vivian & recently published article on the age limit in matrimony. “The man of fifty | ts too old to marry,” the writer asserted, with Oslerian decision. “He does great injustice to his children and to the wo- man whom he calls his wife, His re- laxed powers are unable to extend the Proper sympathy and encouragement to youthful minds; he is intolerant of change and novelty and incapable of tender solicitude. " GENERALLY MARRIES A WOMAN HALF HIS AGE. “He generally marries a woman about one-half his age, whose inte: 1s more financial than otherw! she has reached her prime, he ta appraoching senility. “He becomes an object of patronage, pity and perhaps neglect from the family which he has founded. “What unmitigated nonsense!” ex- claimed Mrs, Vivian, as she finished jthe last paragraph of this doleful | prophecy. “I am absolutely positive that it was written by a very young person, Nobody who really knew any- thing about life or human nature would Derpetrate such solecisms. “The trouble with the American voted 01 team mates. Youth should be to individual development and plishment. There are fewer mistak in the marriares that take place after fifty than in those that come before thirty, and this applies to women as well as men.” LET PUBLIC WAIT FOR THIRD-TRACKS, SAYS INTERBORO Transit Trust Suddenly Grows Cold on Plan Urged for Six Years, An unofficta! reply to this effect: “Let the travelling public wait,” comes from the Interborough officials in response to suggestions from the Public Service marriage is not that 1 1s delayea | Commission that terms for the third too long, but that it is rushed into | tracking of the Second, Third and too quickly. Ninth avenue elevated lines be dis- “Statistics tell us that one out of every twelve of our marriages ends in divorce, I believe that percentage would be at least halved, if there were @ national law absolutely forbidding marriage until both of the contracting parties have passed the age of thirty. “People poke fun at the exactions and peculiarities of old bachelors and old maids. There 1s only one person in the world harder to get along with than | the girl of twenty and that is the young man of twenty-five. Carlyle has an exquisite passage in Sartor Resartus, ‘describing this youth's selfishness, affece tation and unutterable conceit. The great author declares that the world would be so much happler if the young man could be hidden under @ barrel with proper mental and physical susten- ance, and left there to gain age and | wisdom, Certainly the world and his wife would be infinitely happler if he | were surrounded by the barriers of en- forced celibacy.” “But don’t you think the older un- married man !s apt to become set in his ways, and therefore rather difficult as a husband.” I asked. MAN MORE TOLERANT AT 50 THAN EVER BEFORE. “That's another common mistake,” | Mrs. Vivian replied earnestly. su are “The average man of fifty fe | oa. i, more tolerant than ever before in |, his life, He has knocked against the world so long that his ang! are ell curves. “He has seen so many ways of doing things that he no longer insists his way is the only way, The young man who cussed at on “Let the travelling public weit” was echoed and re-echoed through the of- fices of the Public Service Commission to-day when the Commissioners had heard from the Interborough. Neither Chairman Willcox nor his colleagues seemed impressed with the answer. “Let the travelling public wait’ may now become as famous as the Vander- bilt slogan. The members of the Public Service to the Interborough Company that tlie terms for the third tracking apart from the propositions affecting ways be agreed upon.
