■J pEW tragedies on tho stage of actual life tn recent years have possessed
so many dramatic elemeuts as the one Jftst enacted in this city—the mur
* dcr of Mrs. Charles I. Manning and the sensational suicide of her slayer.
Miss Hazel Herdmun, a few hours afterward. It Is a foregone conclusion
that many a playwright already is at work passing tho tangled skeins of
this tragic story of Infatuation through the loom of his Imagination, whence
they will emerge re-woven, a poetic tapestry of surpassing Interest.
Miss tlerdman, a seventeen-year-old girl, falls In love with a married
man. His wife discovers the situation and separates from him. but refuses
to sue for divorce. For two years the Infatuated girl waits, her hope fed by
, Manning’s promise that soon he would be free to wed her. A baby is born,
but still Mrs. Manning Is obdurate. She no longer loves her husband, but
she feels that she !a the instrument of retributive Justice. He has sinned,
the girl has sinned.
"Why,” argued Mrs. Manning, "why should I, the one sinned against,
take the step that would remove the sole obstaole to their happiness? No;
let them suffer!’’
In her righteous indignation Mrs. Manning failed to hear the thunder of
that divine pronouncement; “'Vengeance la mine,’ salth the Lord!”
The girl whom she sought to puniBh became her executioner, only, In
turn, to fall a victim herself to the same divine pronouncement.
* * *
jPLEMENTS not half so thrilling or dramatic were the occasion for one
of the greatest plays ever penned—Schiller’s "Kabale und Llebe” ("In
trigue and Love"), in which murder and suicide result from the machina
tions of a lago-llke scoundrel. Tho play was baaed upon an actual occur
rence, and Schlllef1 even retained the true names of the principal characters.
It is one of tho tenderest love-dramas In existence.
* * •
1 r 1b a most remarkable thing that there should be scarcely a play of any
" note in which love In one phase or another is not the mainspring or. at
least, the pivot on which the whole plot turns. In fact. If you think It over
» bit. you will find that there scarcely is any kind of poetry (Including
novels, which, In a way, really are epics in prose) nor any kind of affair In
real life, for that matter, wherein love does not play a conspicuous. If not
the leading, part.
Some writers have been foolish enough to deny that thqre is any such
thins at all as love. As well deny the existence of the sun! Can a mere
nothing drive so many thousands to a frenzy; make them say and do the
most idiotic things, and even spur and lash them on to murder and self
destruction? Several times in this column the question has been broached,
"What Is love?" However, I never have gone Into detail, although, at times,
the theme of the plays discussed seemed to warrant a more exhaustive
treatment of the subject. The enormity of the double tragedy on real life’s
stage, which has just shocked the world, brings the question before us again
with a stronger insistence than ever. So, let us try to analyze that Irresist
ible power—love—which horde It so inexorably over all humanity.
• « •
THERE Is nothing most persons will not do so they derive great .advantage
from It. This is almost a truism. It Is another way of saying that
selfishness Is the prime-mover In nearly everything. Now, it Is important
to bear this in mind; for you will find presently that love would be lost
and utterly forgotten If it were not for this ill-visaged characteristic—
■'selfishness.” f
We Individuals who, collectively, constitute the human race, come Into
f the world, pell-mell, and go out of It again, pell-mell, like so many rain-drops
which, collectively, constitute the rainbow. The human Individuals, like the
rain-drops, arc a snap of the finger as far as nature is concerned. It Is t^e
collective race that interests nature and she cares for individuals at all
only in so fiy as they are the channels through which the race, the Bpecies,
Is kept alive.
Ori the other hand, each of us individuals regards himself as the one
thing that makes this world worth while. Comparatively few would cheer
fully give up even ordinary comforts lor the sake of the whole human race.
Much less would they take upon their shoulders the pains, troubles, heart
aches. hardships and endless responsibilities which usually are Inseparable
conditions annexed to the founding of a family. And, hence, If it were left
to individuals to found families, as ail act of duty toward the human race at
large, It is safo to say that, in all Newark, not threo could be found who
would be willing to undertake the task. And of these three, one, perhaps,
might be a saint. The other two would be gamblers, probably, of the most
reckless sort.
Nature, with a wisdom all her own. uses a stratagem to overcome these
otherwise Insuperable scruples that people might have against being fathers
and mothers. She "hypnotizes" them. She makes each one believe that he
himself Is the beneficiary. An Illusion is conjured up. Two individuals of
opposite sexes meet for the first time. Each sees In the other perfections
s neither has seen elsewhere before. They feel that to bask in the sunshtne
, of each other's smiles means paradise; to be separated, perdition. They
never, for a moment, suspect that it is the call of posterity that reverber
ates in their hearts. They think they are Ueurking to selfhood's longing,
** when, in reality, they are simply playing into the hands of Dame Nature In
her deep-laid plot iti behalf of the human race.
By how much more important the entire human race is than any indi
vidual. by so much more, proporttona'tely, Is the affection intensified In the
individual whenever the Instinctive, service to the race becomes an impera
tive demand. In this event obstacles which would seem impossible, ordi
narily, are brushed aside, by the infatuated ones and duty, honor, family
ties and even life are carelessly east away for the beloved one.
* * *
THERE also Is a profounder reason than is commonly suspected why one
is so much more apt. to fall in love w ith a handsome person than an ill
favored one. Beauty of form and countenance belongs to, is the characteris
tic of, the human type. Innumerable accidents as well as immoral excesses
tend to pervert and mar this typical beauty. To restore it, as much as pos
sible, in the succeeding generation, nature lias implanted in us all the in
stinct that makes us admire everything beautiful,

IN a fascinating novel entitled “Elective Affinities, Goethe compares hu
I man love to the seeking <jf one chemical to unite with another to which
it bears an affinity. And. strange In say, a situation is developed in the
novel similar, in liianv respects, to the Manning-Herdman case. However,
' it does not lead to murder, although Death yeapa his victims of love and a
suicide pact Is hinted at._ X

HISS MATTHEWS
IN SUFF DEBATE
Ex-Assemblyman Is Somewhat^
“Fussed” by Heckling of
Woman in Theatre.
Former Assemblyman John A. Mat-;
thews, who took the negative side In j
the debate yesterday afternoon on
woman suffrage at the Court Theatre
with Dr. William E. Bohn, of East
Orange, became somewhat ‘‘fussed’’
by the interruption of a woman seated
In a box.
“The women who ride around in
automobiles and play bridge would be
the ones who would enjoy voting as a
fad,” .he was saying.
"They are the antis.” shouted a
woman from a box. who was said to
be a member of the Woman's Po
litical Union of New Jersey.
Mr. Matthews plainly showed his
annoyance as he turned toward the
woman and replied: “My answer is
they are the ones who are going to
vote.” The audience by loud ap
plause showed that It was In sym
pathy with the woman.
“A reply from the audience,” said
Mr. Matthews, “shows that I must
have gotten, under someone’s skin."
This remark was greeted with a lit
tl» applause and some hisses.
George A. Kiepe acted as chair
man of the meeting, and Miss Caro
line M. Dexter, of New York, as
moderator and timekeeper. Each
speaker was allowed one hour.
Dr. Bohn is head of th*» English
department of the Ethical Culture
School, New York, and husband of
Dr. Maude D. Thompson, a promi
nent suffragette. He made three qOt\~.
tentions which were as follows:
1st. The granting of suffrage to
women In New’ Jersey is in line with
the general development of the hu
man race at the present time.
2nd. That It will be a good thing
for the commonwealth of New Jersey.
3rd. That it will be a good thing
for the women of New Jersey.
The primary Industries, spinning,
weaving, knitting, he said, had been
Invented by the women and that
these things had been done thousands
of years before men took any part In
useful labor. He declared that wom
en In attempting to regulate condi
tions under which food and clothing
are produced are only doing the
things their grandmothers have al
ways done. Women, he said, are not
trying to* be like men: they are simply
trying to be greater women and bet
ter women than they have ever been.
The mothers of the nation represent
the children, and education will not
be taken care of until women use
their intelligence in discussing and
solving our public problems.
Mr. Matthew’s paid that mother
hood was not an industry but a
privilege, and stated that votes had
very little to do with the develop
ment of our nation.
Mr. Matthews said that he was s*r
ry ho did not have time to give his
arguments against suffrage, but that
he had been too busy answering Dr.
Bohn's arguments.
He said that Miss Florence Haynes,
iQ announcing the debate, had stated
that his speech against suffrage in
the Legislature last year had really
helped the measure, but he »r«id he
was proud to say that Mrs. Everett
Colby and Mrs. 'Philip McKim Garri
son had told him that they would
rather have had his vote in favor of it
than others who had favored it.
The debate was under the auspices
of the Socialists’ All-Star Lyceum
course.
Women Can .Approximate
Their Ages at the Polls
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Women voters
do not have to tell their exact exes
to election officials; they can approxi
mate the truth. This was the advice
of Charles H. Mitchell, attorney for
the Board of Election Commission
ers. in an address yesterday before
members of the Woman’s party of
Cook county.
"You can approximate the truth
and It will do no one any harm,"
said Mitchell. "Select a rood prob
able age—one that tits your face and
your figure—and tel! the officials that
age. It is simply a check on fraud,
anyway. It prevents oyiers from Im
personating you at the polls. I have
known men who have remained sta
tionary in age for fifteen years, so
far as the registration books are con
cerned."
No Paterson Auto Show
(Special to the Newark Stsr.J
PATERSON, Feb. 9.—At a recent
meeting of the Paterson Automobile
Trade Association it was decided to
call off the automobile show in this
city this year. The decision was
backed by six members of the asso
ciation. The reason for the post
ponement of the show is that the 1914
models have been placed on the mar
ket so early that everyone who is in
terested in automobiles would have
| seen them by the time the show
began.
Divers Must Use Dynamite on
Sunken Wreck to Release
Bodies.
NORFOLK. Va., Feb. 9.—Expert
divers, who have thoroughly examined
the wreck of the Old Dominion steam
er Monroe, sunk in collision with the
Xantucket. express the belief today
while the bodies of forty-one victims,
as well as the cargo can be saved. ;
the vessel itself will be a total loss. !
They declare that the reason none!
of the bodies of the dead has come to
the surface or been rescued is due to
the terrific force of the collision'
which jammed the timbers and doors
of the starboard saloons and state-1
rooms, practically and effectually
sealing them from the action of the
sea
Divers have found it Impossible to
open these doors, even with the aid
of heavy axes, and say that explosives
must be used to liberate the dead,
i Examination of the exterior by the
| divers disclosed the fact that near
‘ the bridge on the starboard side, be
! low the waterline and extending,
through the hull to the keel there is
a ragged hole large enough to permit
the passage of half a dozen men
abreast.

Metropolitan Association Title
Play on W est Orange Links
This Year.
There is evident on every Land;
satisfaction that the Women's Met- ,
ropolitan Golf Association champion
ship will this year be held at Essex
County Country Club, of West Or
ange. This course is a great favorite
with the fair golfers of this section,
although on a first visit to Essex
one would suppose the oppoeite to be
the case Many ravines Intersect the
course, and over these women must
drive with accuracy and power It is
proof of the spirit that is entering
into women's golf that these gullies
no longer strike fear Into the femi
nine heart.
’‘Isn’t that a hard course you have
selected for your champiopship?” was
the query put to one of the women
after their annual meeting. “Not a
bit of it,” came the read* reply. ’’It's
easy; I’m glad we are to have the
championship at Essex County this
year.”
*The women's ideas of easiness ap
parently Is that there are fewer of ]
those long holes at Essex Count*
than are to be encountered on the:
majority of metropolitan courae*
nowadays—holes that appeal only to i
players of the stamp of Miss Lillian
B. Hyde and Miss Marion Hollins
among the women.
The longest hole at Essex County
is the tenth, of 505 yards. On the
incoming nine there is no other hoi*
that even reaches four hundred yards
l in length, and only three holes on
the first nine that top this figure.
\ The distance of the holes in yards
i are: Out—240, 365, 430, 235, 250, 415.
330, 380 and 405—3.050 yards; in—505,
! 3SO. 185. 375, 380. 310, 230. 155, 210—
2,730 yards. Total length. 5.78j yards,
i There will be a change effected on
I the eighteenth hole this season. Al
though short, this is one of the most
I difficult boles on the course The
I putting green lies in a ltttle neck of
the links, with a ravine to the left,
a roadway on the right and beyond
that trees and a hedge arvd the in
evitable ”out of bounds.”
"Cod Forgives All"—Schmidt

Will Soon Issue Hebrew
Translation of the Bible
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8.—Pref- s
ress in the preparation in an authen
ticated English transition of the
Bible by the Jewish Publication So
ciety has reached the stage where' a: -
early announcement of the readiness
of the editors to turn tbetr work over
to the printers is expected. One more
meeting for the purpose of reviewing j
and revising the translations . is ,
scheduled to be held later this month
in New Tork city, and It is likch
that the prepared manuscripts wt'i
be In such shape at Its close as de
leave nothing but the proofreadings > ;
be accomplished by the editors i
whose hands the work has rested foe
five years Dr. Cyrus Adler, of this
city, is chairman of the board of edi
tors.
It -will represent the first attempt
on the part of Jewish scholars Jo
give their people an approved English
version, reliance having been prsvi
misty placed on the Hebrew text for
church purposes and the Leeser Bible
lor famijjr use, where English was
desired.
That the new version being brought
to completion under Dr. Adler's direc
tion will reach the desired excellence
is assured by the division and correc
tion of the work. Each of the editors
is assigned a portion of the Holy
Word to bring from the original He
brew Into English.
An important fact concerned In the
translating Is that the three impor
tant elements of Jews are represent
ed on the committee In charge. The
Reform. Orthodox and 1 "onservative
Jews each have a scholar representa
tive.
