A BRIDEGROOM'S SUICIDE tragic end of beautiful miss WILLIAMS’ HONEYMOON. Sbe Had Been Married Without the Knowledge of Her Lover’s Parents, But There Hae Been a Reconcilia tion. From the New York Sun. In the office of A. P. Slovens & Cos., car pet cleaners at 70 Court street, Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon, 19-year-old Augustus Stevens Van da Linda, a nephew of Mr. Stevens, committed suicide. He was mar ried with some secresy a few weeks ago, an i yesterday afternoon a Brooklyn paper published tee stu-y at s one length, recall ing the incidents of the romantic courtship and marriage. After par.mg with his re mar-aoly pretty young wife, who had spent some tiufe with him in the after noon at the office, he went to a news stand and purchased a copy of the paper containing the story. He carried the paper to the office, cut out the article which referi ed to him, sent the only other employe of t o office n a false mission, locked the outside door, pulled down the blinds, and, sealing himself at a desk, drew a revolver hnil shot himself in the head. He probably died instantly. He was the only son of James Van de Liude, who was formerly a partner with Sir. Stevens, his i rother-in-law, in the car pt't-eleaai g business, but who has been for some lime employed iu a railroad office on Broad ay. Several years ago au estrange ment took place between Mr. Van de Linde and hi-, wife, and since then the latter aud her two children, Augustus aud a daughter, have been living with Mr. Stevens, her brother. Their present residence is 184 Berkley place, a fine four-story brown gloae " b u-e. in one of the most fa-hionable neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Augustus, after receiving a g od education, became a clerk iu h s uncle’s office, and for a couple of years be has virtually managed the office. He was a tali, fine looking youug fellow, withlighthair aud blue eves. He was sieaJy and industrious, had no questionable habits, and he became age leral favorite with iiersons having business in his uncle’s establ shmeut. He was a regular attendant at a Fr< tostant Episcopal cuurch on Pros pect Heights. The girl he married was Miss Anna Will iams, who lived with her widowed mother and her sister at 191 Bergen street. Tney were married three mouths after their first mue ing. Miss VV idiams is a devout Catho lic, and for several years sho tins been a regular attendant at St. Augustine’s church, in fifth avenue. Until six months ago she was also a teacher iu the Sunday school She took great interest in the new and handsome church which the Rev. Father McCarty, the rector of the parish, is having erected in Sixth avenue, and at the fair which was held all througn the month of May to raise funds to help tue work al mg, Mi-s Williams assisted nightly. She possesses remarfca le beauty. She is tail ami stately, with an abundance of dark hair. At the fair there was a contest of beauty, and another very pretty girl, Miss Maine 1 C mroy, had the courage io en er the lists against Miss Williams. The deli cate question was left to a vote of ihe visit ors and Miss Williams won tae prize, a silver lea set, by a handsome majority. Perhaps thi most enthusiastic v tor for Miss Williams was young Mr. Van de Lmde. A friend of his, who was interested iu St. Augustine’s church, sold him a couple of tickets for toe fair, aid he happened to visit t e Athenaeum where it was in prog ress on the evening of the beauty contest. He w as much impressed with the attractions of Miss Wiliams, and not only cast many votes in her favor, but completely lost his heart at first sight. Ho sought and ob tained an introduction to Miss Williams on the same evening, and from that moment he became her most devoted lover. The conte t was on May 30, and ii three months exactly the young couple wore married. Early in June his mother and sister went to the country aud remained absent all the summer. He did not acquaint either them or his uncle with his love affair. Miss Williams, also, at his request, keot their courtship a secret from her church friends, but her mother aod sis.er knew all that was going on. Finally, Augustu resolved to marry and acquaint hi family with the fact when they got back from the country, and on Aug. 99 the couple drove to Bishop Laughlin’s residence in Clermont avenue to secure a dispensation. The bishop, who granted a special dispensation, gave the young couple some good advice, and directed them to the Rev. Father P. J. McNamara, pastor of Our Lady of Mercy Church, in Debevoise place. They drove directly to see Father McNamara, made satisfactory answers to some ques tions he asked, aud engaged him to marrv them on the same evening at Mis". Williams’ house. Father McNamara per formed the ceremony at the house. It was a very quiet wedding, the only persons present in addi ion to the priest, bride and groom being the mother, brother and sister of the bride. The wedding ring was of old gold with a diamond in the center, and the bride, who was very handsomeiy attired, wore two other diamond rings, widen had been presented to her by her lover. Ihe couple did not go on a wedding trip, und, although t iev have met ea.cn other two or three times a day ever since their marriage, they have never lived together. Augustus continued to reside in the Berkley place house, and his wife has continued to live with her mother. A couple of weeks agv the young man’s mother and sister returned from the coun try, and Augustus gradually put them in possession of the developtne ,t.s which had occurred during theirabse .ee. Mrs. Van de Linde was at first extremely indignant, hut h inlly, it is said, after having an Inter view with her pretty and ugbter-in-law, b> can.e reconciled to the situation. Whether t e uncle also had be. b-ought into thecou naence of the young man has not been ascertained, but it is said matters had been so arranged that the you g couple were to have fair sailing in future, and that , 1 ran gements were made for them to begin housekeeping on their own account in a fe v The bright prospect c me to a sudden th -y:‘ stH| ' !|a y. Mrs. Van de Linde was at ine Luurt street office with her husband until near 4 o’clock, when he escorted her ' , c T t ’ i ner Joralemon aud Court eots. Both were in the very be t spirits, . , w ® n he hid her good-by he promised see her at her mother’s house in the evening. On bis return to the office he purchased a copy of the Eagle at Orr’s news sta id iu Joralemon street. Oil readi ng tae office he sat down and began to read , e PVr He was deeply agitated w en e read the story of his marriage. He whs o pale ad excited that Putrick Lyons, the JrJ other employe in the ofiic • at the thought he was s.ck and asked him flat the matter was. He then took a pair 1., s p ] ssors, and outting out the article ‘•iu 10 remarking: Read that. Au alleged friend gave this •• hat a nice fiiettd he wad” u he sent Lyons uptown to a tend, as said, to a call. Lyons went off, taking e slip of paper with him.

A reporter arrived at tho house of Mrs. Williams iu Bergen street before sae or her daughter had heard of tho suicide. Both, however, had seen the published story, and were very much troubled about it. Mrs. Van de Linde said: “We became acquainted and were married in the ms mer described, but this was no justification for bringing us into ridicule. My husband’s famLy had been informed of the matter. They have seen me and are perfectly recon ciled to the match. And why shouldn’t they be! All my friends know about it, and it is no longer a secret. I saw mv husband this afternoon, and I will see him again in half an hour. Iu less than five minutes after making this statement such loud screams were heard is suing from the house that a crowd soon collected on the sidewalk, wondering what the trouble was. The news that her hus band had shot and killed himself had just been broke lto the young bride. At first she refused to credit tne report, but when she was assured it was true she became frantic. Her mother and sister vainly ti ied to quiet her, but, brus.iing them aside and seizing her hat, she rushed to the street and fairly flew up Bergen street to Court Her flight was so rapid that some reporters who witnessed the i .cidont fou dit difficult to keep her in sight. On her way to the •office where her husband lay dead she called at Undertaker Kulkhe’s store, in Court stieot, and asked him to accompany her. Mr. Kuikne did so, but when they reached Mr. Stevens’ office ad mission was denied to b ith, pending file arrival of Coroner Rooney. Mrs. Van der Linde lingered around the office door for a half hour, but was finally persuaded to return to her home. It is feared that the shock may craze her. There was another outburst of grief at the home of the : uicide when Heary Willis, brother bt Naval Officer Wiliis, broke the news to his family. His mother is an invalid, and it is feared she in ty ot long survive the blow. She was deeply attached to tier son, and had been much exercised of late over his, wapriage. Tue father of the young man is not likely to hoar of the tragic occurrence uutil he reads the papers thi9 morni ig, as be has held no communi cation witu his family for a long time. The cause of the estrangement is not known. He lives with his aged father and mother somewhere in Bl ocker street. Coroner Roouoy will hold ail inquest to-day. FREAK j OF THE BLACK ART. What the Man Who Cuts Silhouettes Sees of Human Nature. From the Washington Star. The man whq was having his silhouette cut out of black paper by the scissors artist wore his hat on the back of his head and refrained for the moment from pulling at the long, straggly vegetable which grew on either side of his jaw in order that the ox oected likeness might be as perfect as pos sible. At the end of two minutes, or thereabout, he was told that he might abandon his attitude of cataleptic rigidity, a-sumed for purposes of portraiture, and it wa3 with ill-concealed impatience that he waited uutil the little profile picture was stuck upon a piece of white card-board a id handed over. For a brief interval ho bent a critical gaze upon his own counterfeit presentment, holding it at various dis tances from his eye, as if one focus mig it be better than another; then, while half tue idlers in W illard’s hotel lobby tried to get a glimpse at the work of art over his shoul ders, hesuddeuly remarked: “Why, that’s not like me! You haven’t got my whiskers in.” “It’s a good likeness, all but the whiskers,” echoed the little crowd that sto id about the big folding frame, covered with sample silhouettes in black and white, in the corner of the lobby. The scissors artist, who was pasting the duplicate portrait on a second card, looked fatigued. “It’s always the same way.” he said to a Star reporter, wearily, “with gents who have whiskers. They are proud of ’em, aud, what’s more, the whiskers are essential to ihe likeness. If you want to see how essential, look ata man who has just had his w iskers saaved off and take notice what a change it makes iu his face; but, unless the whisker ru is in o a beard, ho v on earth is it possible to ma io it appear in a silhouette? The thi g can’t be done, and so the cus tomer is dissatisfied. Excuse me a moment; 35 cents for the two, sir, please.” While tho artist was m iking change for the person with the wuiskers, the aewspaper man glanced over the sample silhouettes, of which several hundred decorated the fold ing frame close by. Many of them were celebrities, taken from lie; also there were not a few p otty watering-place girls, rep resenting last summer’s giddy crop, with some curious human types sprinkled here and there, and a raft of commonplace peo ple of both sexes. SILHOUETTES ARE FLATTERING. “Yes, customers with whiskers are the most difficult, to got likeae-ses of,” the scis sors man went ou. “And, by the wa., you’ll notice that, as a rule, silhouette like nesses in black are flattering. One reason for this is that a person so represented always has a perfect c mplexion. All the defeats of the skin are left out; aud, be sides, the lines iu the face, which go so far to make ugliness, are absent. Thus the subject, if he or she has a profile that is not altogether hopeless, is nut to come out fairly well in the black. Did I ever int n tionail> flatter? Never. lam too conscien tious a workman for that, and, anyway, it would n>t pay at aik For instance, a young lady often kffhts because her silb u ette shows a lump on the nose al the bridge—just a little irregularity, you understand. She has al ways imagined that her nose was perfectly straight—for it’s wonderful how little j people know about their own appeal aAo#—aud she says: ‘Why goodness rual I have no hump on my nose like., that.’ Then who i I assure her that she has, she refers the question indignantly to her friends. I might avoid thiq by simply making the nose straight; in that ca o, the youug woman’s acquittances would say to her: ‘That doesn’tjiipk like you; it's not your nose.’ Aud so I should be thought a poor workman, and ray business would be injured. 1 fiud that the best way is to rep resent things as nearly correctly as I can. In most instances, as I said, the silnouettes are fl it luring, and therefore customers aro satisfied. But here’s s line one who wan ts bis picture made; just watch me while I do it.” WATCHING IT DONE. The applicant for a sitting, or rather a “standing,” was a fashionably dressed youth with an unusually tail collar, an almost m distinguishaiile mustache, and a light derby hat which matched his fall overcoat. As he leaned upon one end of a small tog that had an eruption of silver carbuncles at the upper extremity and protruded his wish bone as far as possible, the artist doubled a s nail rectangular pieoe of paper with a glazed black surface ou one side and guni stickum on the other, aud gave it a snip with his little scissors. This particular sdp reproduced the curve of the wish bone aforesaid, with two incidental coat buttons. Tho scissors expert gave a second quick glance and a second snip that made tne line of the neck and chi i. A third glance and the lower lip was added; a fourth and the clippers made palpable the indistinct mustache, together with the suggestion of au Insipid smile; a fifth, and the nose appeared, with, lo! au eyelash; a sixth, and the brow came into view up to the hat. which required two more glimpses and snips for its perfect representation. Two ad ti.ioual snips yet were necessary to show the back of the head aid coat, and then the silhouet e was nearly done, but n t quite. First it was necessary to CUT THE HEAD FR >M TUB SHOULDERS and slice part of the neck off; then another little clip was taken from the coat, near the front, three small, bair-like projections of the black paper being left by tue scissors attached to tue coat collar, one at the bac aud two in front. Then the artist licked t .e gum-stickum o i the reverse side of the head and stuck it ou a white card. Be neath it, with a space left between to repre THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1889. sent the white collar, he attached the shoul ders in like manner. Tho little clip taken out of the front of the coat was now seen to give the appear .nee of s drt boson on the “in” side of the four-iu-hand scarf, and the hair-like projections, stuck down, formed the lines at the back and front of the turned-point collar, and so the silhouette was done. The process has taken a good ma: y wo ds to describe, but t > perform it, from the first snip to the delivery of the finis el portrait, actually required only a minute and a half. Tns scissors man said that he had made such on wagers in twenty seven seconds. Of course, the doubling of the paper at the beginning produced two likenesses together, precisely similar, save that they represented different sides of the face. THE PAPER USED. “Wo have tnu-e a kind of paper specially made for this purpose," said the s. iss rs man. “It it c .lured the most i .tense black nos iblo on one side, and glazed witn rauci -1 tge ou the other. The paper itself has to he thin, so as to be cut e sily, and very tough also. See that eyewi ker. I could not have out that witn ordin ry paper without lean g. With this everything is clea i and sharp. Or course, my scissors must be like razor blade*, aud the paper is made bo as not to curl, notwithstanding the glazing, for if it does so the two thick .esses that I out at the same tirno will not lie closo together, ad oio silhouette will differ slightly from its twin. Are women more difficult to cut than men, oil ask? I don’- find them so. I find men who have strongly characteristic no=es, or other features re markable in any way. the most i.ite a ting subjeo. Mine is a natural faculty. I could cut likenesses nearly as well as I do now when I'was 6 years of age; I have been in the business now for twenty years. Yes, it is profitable. I make two portraits for 35 cents, in two minutes or less, with half a cent’s worth of paper. Frequently I cut at the rate of thirty or forty pair an hour. It is not unusual for mo to earn SSO iu a day. Watering places, of course, are my harvest spots.” “1 see,” suggested the reporter, "that some of your sample sil nouettes are cut out of white paper instead of black. What is tho reason of tha. ?” "Those are country people mostly who have tneir likenesses cut in white,” ex plained the scissors man. “Usually they sav: “Oh, wo won’t have our pictures done in black; we're not colored folks!” STRANGS TWIST OF FORTUNE. A Laborer Discovers Millions Through Reading a Sunday Paper. From the Pall Mall Oazette. The English plasterer who has been left a fortune estimated at £1.400,000 ($7,000,- 000) by a relative in Australia has been dis covered at Kettering, in Northamptonshire. His name is John James Pearce, and, until a few weeks ago, he lived in the parish of Kingthorpe, a hamlet in Northampton. He lodged with a woman named Weston, after the decease, a few months ago, of his w ife, who c uninitted suicide. Fear of poverty was ascribed as the cause of her act. Last Sun day, while reading a newspa|ier, he came across a paragraph announcing that a Syd ney clergyman had left £1,400,000 to a man in England named Pearce. “Why,” ex claimed the pi isterer to his landlady, “that's me; he’s mv uncle! That money belongs to me I” His identity has already been acknowledged by the London agents of ihe Australian solicito s to tho deceased millionaire. He worked for several master plasterers in Northampton aud is and scribed by his fellow workman as a quiet, reserve 1 fellow, a teetotaler, and gave people the idea that he had seen better days. He is now on his way to Australia. A Cabinet Meeting. From the New York World. The last meeting of the cabinet was <3e vot and exclusively to a consideration of the Tanner question. “Notwithstanding you have bounced him,” said Mr. Blaine, addressing the Presi dent, “that fellow Tanner will still con tinue to spend the surplus.” “What surplus can he spend now, I should like to know!” asked the President, a little nettled by tho suggestion. “Surplus breath,” said Mr. Blaiue, as he struck a match on his trousers’ leg aud lit a fre-h cigarette. “That’s pretty good for you, Mr. Blaine,” said Secretary Rusk, “but may I ask you what bird Tanner reminds me of?” “A parrot, of course.” “No, a young robin.” "Because he was robbin’ the Treasury ?” suggested Mr. Blaine. “Because he is all mouth,” said Mr. Rusk. “Before the session adjourns,” said Mr. Wauamaker, “I would like to usk why Mr. Tanner is like a certain cut of coat wnich I soli in my establishment cheaper than it can be bought elsewhere?” The cabinet gave it up. "Because ha is cut by us—cut bias—cut by us, see.’’ The cabinet pretended not to see it, and Mr. Wanamaker was compelled reluctantly to set up the postage stamps. Fleaa ir. Paris. From the Paris Register. One of tbe remarkable features of the ex hibition year iu Paris has been toe scourge of fl ias, which has taken u 100mDromlai ug possession of all strangers arriving from pa ts of the world whore fleas are nob so previous. No Pari dan can ever tie g >ten to admit that the fleas are born here. They may come from Puy-de-Dome, from B dssy les-Vache<, or be brought here by the Arabs and Algerians at the exhibition; but the fact that public vehicles and hotels swarm with them is inconceivable to him. In the United States “the wicked flea when no man pursuetn” sticket i unto the yellow dog a.id vagrant cat, but iu Pari3 his fie iship disdains auy kind of game but a writhing human victim. ihe flea of 1589 is as agile as a chamois, and as ne skips gleefully from one sq lare inch of cutaneius territory to the next the flesh rises behind him in tall welts as big as 50-centime pieces. Tnese wou ids do not heal with time, but are red and angry for at least a week, aud one small but active ilea can produce them at tbe rate of one a minute.
