1t is very significant fact, that -otwithsiand!-

the call for it has steadily increased from its hfsi

for it been great, or the Quantity made been so
large, as il is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has the
Pain Killer ever been in higher repu,e, or been
more generally used b. families and individuals
than il has been here Mt home. where 1t was h'si

ANOTHER HOTEL SUICIDE.

vermOnter Shoots Himself in n Bathfub-
Pecuniary Difficulties the Probable Cause.
Another case OF deliberate suicide occurred at the
Grand Central Hotel yesterday afternoon. The facts
Of this latest successful att smpt at self-destructon
are as foll0ws:-
On Monday evening a gentlemen stepped up to
the counter OF the hotel ana inquired II he could
have a room with q bath in 1t. On being answered
in the affirmative he directed his satche to be
brought from the coupe at the door, and was soon
after shown to his room, the fourth floor. About
ten O'Clock
He ORDERED SUPPER IN HIS ROOM.
Nothing more was heard from HIM until about ten
O'Clock yesterday morning, when he rang for a
waiter and called for morning paper and pitcher
OF water. He was then partially undressed. The
chambermaid went to his room several times during
the day, but 1t appeared 10 be occupied AT about
four O'CLOCK she forced her way into The room, and
to her horror, discovered the man
SITTING IN THE BATHTUB DEAD.
Instantly raising all ALARM some OF the employees Of
the hotel went to the room, when the fact OF the
mate having committed suicide was revealed. The
case seems TO have been one OF the most deliberate
on record. From the appearance Of the BODY 1t was
evident that the suicide had filled the bathtub full
OF water and placing the nozzle the pistol beneath
the water 10 deaden the sound had deliberately
fired and shot himself just below the heart. No re.
port OF the pistol was heard ana therefore
some hours elapsed after the death OF the victim be-
fore the body was discovered
THE SUICIDE
was fine looking man, about thirty-fve years OF
age. He registered his name on the books as +. II.
Hayes, but his real name was George G. Hathaway.
He was the son or a wealthy gentleman OF Rutland,
VT. at which place he resided lie treasurer
OF the Rutland Marble Works, and drew comfortable
salary. Among his papers were insurance policies
showing that his lie was insured for SIT 900.
He also inditsd long letter, addressing 1t to his
friends from whicn 1t Ia inferred that pecunIary
troubles caused him to commit The rash act The
letter ~ written IN clear bold hand, and gives no
evidence OF nervousness the part or the writer.
The
BODY WAS REMOVED TO TUE MoRGuE
last evening, and an inquest will be held by the
Coroner at the Grand Central Hotel this morning.

your Grace's opinion respecting the harassing
question of the Island of Cuba2
MoNTPENsIER-Thisg gem of the West Indies
has always been a rich mine-not for the
Spaniards here, nor for the islanders of Cuba,
but for a set of rogues who are sent out there,
who govern with tyranny and return after
short time overwhelmed with riches.
CoRREspoNDENT-It is said that the Cuban
instruction will be very speedily quelled. Is
You Grace of that opinion?
MONTPENsIER-From the very commence
ment Of the rebellion we have been constantly
receiving kilograms from the island to the
effect that the Cuban insurrection was almost
at an end and would be promptly stamped out.
My opinion Is that rebellion that has main
tanned itself so long as that of Cuba will never
be completely crushed by main force; and
nothing but the highest rectitude in the author
tiles, wise administration, humane laws and
liberal measures will do anything to recover
the island from the terrible CONFUSION into
which 1t has been thrown by the shocking
abuses that have so long existed there.
CONCLUSION.
My interview with the Duke de Montpenser
lasted from ten minutes past three to forty
minutes past four P. NJ, when l terminated
the session for fear of occupying too much Of
his valuable time. On leaving the Duke told
me he should always be most happy to see
me. He presented me with handsomely
bound catalogue of his picture gallery, and
told me could visit it with my friends when
ever felt inclined.
