the suicide of Edwin Ellis son of Bert
Ellis. Mr.. Ellis lives about four
miles notheast of the village. The
son left the home after dinner Mon
day to 60 to the barn to care for the
horse. He kissed his wife and babe
her good bye saying she might never
see him again. This she thought
little of as it was playfully said, she
supposed. He was found suspended
from the rafter, in the horse barn,
and from the place where he fastened
the rope, and the skill shown in adj
justing the rope about his neck, all
shows that he deliberately committed
the deed. His funeral services were
held at the Venice church on We'd
nesday. Mr.. Ellis had been married
about four weeks, and to all appear
ances was enjoying life as well as is the
lot of man, and no reason is yet
known for his thus taking his own
life.
The west bound night train on the
D., G. III. & M. road ran into Nor.
timer Jones at the crossing just in
the west edge of the village, killing
his horse and bruising Mr.. Jones very
badly. His left arm was so crushed
that it had to be taken off. He was
returning from Bancroft with load
of lumber and owing to the fact that
freight train was near the Pc ssen-
ger train and tie crossing so near
the switch, he was deceived as 10 the
distance he was away from the pas
senger train when he attempted to
cross the track.

Dissatisfied Bayarians.

MUNICH, June 22.-Murmurs are
heard on all sides regarding the treat
ment OF the late king. The people ask
why his body was not inferred 10 the
grave OF his fathers in the Theatenier
church, instead of being placed in a
vault containing the bodies of distant
relatives and in which member of
the royal family Was never before
buried. The reason given is that this
royal vault is already overdlled, but
the humble classes believe that it is
because the king committed suicide.

road Car was as crowded one evening,
recently DIS II generally is at the hour
when business men seek their families
and their dinners. Several corpulent
entities were pendent from the straps
which they clutched convulsively.
There we're more woman than men
standing up. The latter, apparently
immersed in their newspapers, pre-
tended not to see the ladies, who were
surging to and fro with the motion of
the car as they tried to sustain an
equilibrium. At Fourteenth street
three people entered the car. One was
a young and very pretty girl, wearing
a faultlessly-fitting dress, cute little
pair of patent-leather shoes, and a hat
with coquettish feather which bobed
up and down with coy persistence.
The other two arrivals were of the
male sex and the high collared genus.
They divided between them two
walking sticks, two light deer-stalker
hats, four tan gloves, and one look of
bland imbeciIity. They growled very
audibly as their eyes informed them
that every seat was taken. They
looked up to the roof for inspiration
and found it in strap apiece. They

learned that she was pretty girl, if
she were not already aware OF the fact:
A suave old gentleman with droop-
ing silver moustache Iose, doffed his
hat glanced expressively at the seat he
had vacated, and moved away, when
the young girl took it with subbued

ers of the walking sticks looked on
with disgust. They were leaning over
the girl, supported by their straps from

"Beastly way they do things here

walking stick. "Such deuced bad
management. Gentlemen must stand
while buffers and niggers keep their

No longer than last week the prince OF
Wales was invited to breakfast with the
Baron de Rothschild. The prince re-
marked upon the excellent quality of the

that it was exactly the same, if not quite
as good, as was served at his own table in

A sureaon In the Navy.

The position of surgeon in the navy is
not an enviable one. The examination that
applicants are required to undergo IS very
rigid, and as rule physicians who are ca
p&ble of passing the ordeal can find fields
for their usefulness more conge7ial to
their tastes and very profitable to them BY
engaging in private practice. When a
physician obtains a position in the navy he
is assigned to the stAerage, without rank,
and is given an ordinary salary. In the
army it is the reverse. When physician
Joins that branch of the service he is COM
missioned a second lieutenant and is paid
accordingly, and commands all the respect
the position is entitled to. The result Is
that there are no vacancies in the army,
while there are over 200 candidates fer
positions. In the navy there are fifteen
vacancies with no applications to I'LL them.

Dissipated Women ON the Stag Q.

There are women on the stage who
drink like men. There are also some who
swear like men. Of the swearing women
it is unnecessary to speak. One night the
leading lady, who no longer occupies the
position, appeared at a theatre famed for
its fine audiences in such state that she
could scarcely move across the stage. The
habitues of the cafe saw instantly that She
had been drinking brandy. When she
opened her mouth to speak the remainder
of the audience saw that she had been
drinking something. The fashionable
gathering murmured. The actress knew
that her weakness was discovered. She
was strong woman physically, and she
summoned all her powers to throw off
the influence that oppressed her. People
who knew her state said she never acted
so well Us on that night. Her acting de-
ceived her auditors. They were led by it
to disbelieve what they had seen, and she
retained her popularity. Some time she
will probably find herself in the same po-
sition as Mr.. Booth.-Brooklyn Union.

There Arc No Home1y Girls.

It is painful to see esteemed contemporaries
falling into error; and yet they do, and force
US to play the Good Samaritan ana drag them
out. Here is The New York Tribune on re-
cord in q paragraph that disparages pretty
girls because Of their propensity to make
trouble-poisonings, elopements: and such
end cracks up the "plain girl" who never
figures in scandals or tragedies; and, although
she may be homely enough to stop clock,
she is never heard OF as breaking her fathers
or her husbands heart"
In the same spirit is the advice of The Bos-
ton Transcript, which says: "Do not fall In
love with pretty face, my SON Marry a
homely woman if you would be happy" How
is it that adult and experienced journals Like
The Tribune and The Transcript have not
learned that there arc no honlely womena 1t
ought not to be necessary for us to remind
them that haanty- lies in tue eye OF the be-
thoiasr, and that the beholder who cannot
discern it is either defective in his scrutiny
or handicapped with an ocular apparatus
that lacks some important lenses. The Trib.
une never made blunders Of this sort while
