An Eccentric Man.

The suicide of Leonard Case, the Clevc-
land millionaire, is a tragic ending of an
eccentric but useful life. Mr.. Case was
fond of doing good in the most unexpected
and grotesque ways. One day while out
driving with the city editor of the Clcve-
land Herald, Mr.. J. II. A. Bone, he point
ed out several lots and asked Mr.. Bone
which he thought most eligible for build
ing. Bone made a selection, and Case
said ''Well, build house on it and send
me the bills when it is completed. I'll
give you a deed to the property" MIR.
Bone took him at his word and the
promise was faithfully fulfilled. A
few years ago he walked into a
meeting of the Young Mems Christian as
socation, laid 81, 600 on the table and left
without saying word. He would never
notice direct appeal for charity, and,
some ladies having solicited his help, he
rebuffed them fatty. The next day they
received a $500 bill anonymously. He
founded Case library, giving to the asso-
ciation property worth 100000. He
employed an agent to dispense charity Sc
cretly, and gave away during his life
thousands of dollars. He was man of de-
cided literary talent and thoroughly well
read. For several years he has been suffer-
ing from consumption, and finally, unable
to bear it any longer, he put an end to his
miserable existence with chlOrOfOrm.

macaroni and cheese and some quail for
her lunch after the concert, to be served
