SLY CUP? HID
IN PRISON CELLS
Dr. McGuire, Tombs Phy?
sician, Admits It ? Ma?
tron, Too, Is rjappy.
Granite blocks and steel bars have
no terrors for Dan Cupid. Amid the
sorrow and the hardened characters
that ate locked up in the Tombs prison
the Rod of Love has been secreted. Dr.
Frank A. MrGuire, the Tombs phyr-i
cian, yesterday admitted that he was
to marry Mrs. Helia V. Wilson, a widow
who came to the Tombs as matron
about five months ago.
Dr. MrGuire is a widower, sixty-two
years old, nn?l is the father of four
daughters and u son. Three of the
daughters are married, and the young?
est, Miss Lillian Marian McGuire, is a
teacher in the nublic schools. The ton,
James Alexander McGuire, is a veteran
of the Spanish-American War and is
now lighting with the Allies in the
Prince;? Patr?ela Light Artiller*.-.
"Yes, yes," wifj I)r. McGuire, "this
single existence is soon to come to an
end. I am getting married for com?
panionship. I met the woman that is
to become my wife about five months
a?fo. She came to the Tombs as a
matron and I immediately became in?
terested in her.
"1 have met many of the fairer ses
since I became a widower four years
ngo, but there were none who came up
to my idea of standard until I met
Mrs. Wilson. Her nlea? are entirely in
accord wth mine so sympathetic and
entirely domesticated. True it is'that I
am sixty two years old, but it is truly
? at a man is ns young as he feels.
I feel younger than sixty-two by less
than half those years."
Mrs. Wilson lives with a friend at
420 Fast 153 a Street. She hlushingly
told of the courtship in the Tombs and
i? a good om.-n of the outcome of
the marriage the greeting she received
in the Tombs when the wedding an
nouncement was made. Mrs. Wilson had
iron?? to the prison to say goodby to
the attendants and some of the prison
ers, when she confided to some of her
friends th.? news of her coming mir
liage. Rice and old shoes followed her
out of the gloomy place.
"(>ur courtship is truly romantie."
Mrs. Wilson said yesterday. "I first
met the doctor a day or so after I
went to the prison ?s matron from the
Queens County Jail. He came to the
woman, department of the Tombs a
day or to after I got there, showing
n in -law. William Francis O'Con?
nor, of Syracuse, around the prison."
Mrs. Wilson is about forty years old.
She lives in the snme neighborhood as
the ?ioctor in Fast Fifty-third Street.
The marriage is to take place "with?
in the near, very near, future," to
quote the doctor. Just when, he refuses
.-<?. It will be quiet. They plan
to make their home In an apartment at
104 West Fighty-tifth Street, which is
now being furnished. Mrs. Wilson has
been a widow for twelve years. She
has no children.

VON SZELL, EX-PREMIER
OF HUNGARY, DEAD
Held Office from 1899 to
1903, When Forced Out.
Budapest, Aug. Hi. Kaiman von
Baell, ex-Premier of Hungary, died
this morning. He resigned the Pre?

quently as a member of the Diet.
Kaiman von Szell became Premier of
Hungary in 1899, succeeding Huron

mense but artificial majority by a
fresh fusion of parties. As a result
of this compromise von Szell had little
trouble in having the budget ?.-'
passed quickly. During his Brat year
