A sutcfde for vanity.

Some time ago IN Illinois farmer invented
suicidal machine of very ingenious con-
struction, and made q great sensation by
using it upon himself. His success seems to
have worked upon the weak mind of Chi
cagoan, Frederick A. Jeffrey, until he re-
solved to try his hand ut getting up sensa-
tional suicide. In posthumous pubiica-
ton he says: "There is an emulation and
generous rivalry between st. Louis and Chi
cago which like, and Chicago being my
favorite, shall help her in my humble way,
and knock the spots off st. Louis in cele-
brating the Centennial Fourth" His
method Of comforting distinction on Chicago
consisted in the getting up Of complicated
and extraordinary case of suicide.
Jefery was n young man whose habits
seem to have been good, and he was in pros
porous circumstances. On the night Of July
4th he lodged at the Palmer House and COM
mitted suicide, leaving behind him for pub
| LEGATION 4 statement Of the method he en-
ployed, and denying that he had any par
ticular reason for the act. Without going
into details, we will state that he arranged
| to swallow poison, cut his throat with q
razor, and shot himself through the heart,
the latter acts being Of simultaneous COM
mission after the taking OF the poison. Be-
fore entering upon this part OF the pro-
gramme he had suspended himself over a
bath-tub full Of boiling water, his clothing,
saturated with alcohol, to be set on fire by
q slow torch, and after a certain period OF
cremation he expected to fall, by the burn
ing of the cords suspending him, into the
tub below, where his remains would be par
boiled. His cremation arrangements were
failure, but that the rest OF the programme
was carried out appears from the coroner's
verdict, rs follows:
GIVE, the jury, find that the said Frede.
rick Addison Jetlery, now lying dead at the
Palmer House, came to his death on the 18th
