Suicide Among Strangers.

CHICAGO, May PA well-dressed
young man about twenty-five years of
age, who gave his name as James j. Null
larkey, and claimed to be from Cleveland,
Ohio, rented room at IS North State
street last Monday. He was a stranger
in the city and stayed in his room nearly
all the time. Yesterday Mullarkey did
not appear, and the door of his room was
forced. The occupant was found lying
on the bed with his clothes on, dead. A
bottle labeled "sulphuric acid' told the
tale of self-destruction. A number Of
letters were found on his person, one
being addressed to his brother, w. H.

AN AERIAL FLIGHT.
a Bank Robber Seemingly Lost in
the Clouds.

1t is pleasant of mornings, particu-
larly in the spring, to stroll down
there, and, forgetful of the clamor and
noise of the city proper, to loiter in
the shadow of the trees and listen to
the hum of commerce in the distance.
Probably there is no place where one
becomes more retrospective than
where he is surrounded by the stretch
of field, the soft shadow of the trees,
or near the gurgle of rivulets, and at
the same time the ear can catch the
low murmur of city's pulsation. The
contrast between the immediate sur
roundings and the hurly-burly of the
crowd suggested by the distant sounds
of trade seldom fail to awaken retlec-
tons that are not exactly reassuring
to ones self-pride. The size of ones
individuality decreases to microscopic
diminutiveness and selfhood seems lost
in the greatness of the thronged city.
The street had wandered away back
from where it started at the river. At
first its surface was paved with cobble-
stones, that invention made during
the French domination to increase d.
gestion by the jolting it caused, and
also to necessitate vehicles frequent
visit to the blacksmith's shap. But af-
ter this venerable thoroughfare leaves
the more thickly settled precincts and
its sidewalks are no more bordered
with houses huddled together, then it
puts on a somewhat more aristocratic
appearance and jasmines begin to
peer over the tops of fences and the
soft green of fig leaves gives a restful
look to little front yards. Here and
there a pomegranate blazes out in an
orihamme of blossoms, and light
Embed altheas line garden walks.
Then the houses grow less frequent
and vacant lots more numerous, and

herd of cows from some neighboring
dairy. 1t is away out there almost be.

twelve o'clock dinner whistles, that 6
small grove OF liveoaks, inclosed in {

that break the MONDAY quiet.
