of man lying under cne of the trees,

to be dead. Near the body was an
empty bottle bearing laudanum

death. On searching the dead mans
clothing a memorandum book was
found in which was inscribed a mum.
Der of memoranda and full history
of the mans death, with his reasons
for taking his life. Among other en-
tries were the following:

hours later nearly three-fonrths, wi lie at
O'Clock there was hardly a district in the
city In which the voters had not virtually

day was something entirely different from
that ever seen before 10 Wilmington. For
years IL had been customary for the
opposits parties to sppuint window mon Co

one thing that was evident. however. The

SAVED BY \ BLUFF.
A Few Barrels Of Gold Rolled in in
Sight of Depositors stopped Run.
CInoinuati 'reIpOram

General Mike Ryan, i'm talking of the
Metropolitan Bank failure, told good
story illustrating the power of bluff. It
was in connection with his assertion that
with little further aid from the other
banks in the city the Metropolitan might
have been saved. lie said
~ have n brother connected with
bank in Leavcnworth, Kan. There are
two banks there, and the rival to that of
my brother was in a shaky condition.
The president came to Matt and told him
the circumstances, and that If there was
u run the bank would be unable to stand
IL. Matt told him to keep q stiff upper
lip, for he knew that the failure of the
other bank meant the failure of his own.
lie jumped on the train, went to Kan
sas. City, got $4,000 in coin - gold
and silver in barrels, ran back
to l.eavenWorth with the specie, and got
half dozen drays to the depot to take
the barrels to the bank. Meantime the
crowd of depositors had begun to gather
at the bank, demanding their money, and
the old man was talking to them TO
gain time. All at once they saw the
drays coming up loaded down with these
barrels. Matt was with the treasure, and
shouted to the crowd to wait about five
minutes and they'd get their money, as
it was there in the barrels.
'In unloading the barrels, one of them
dropped and broke, so that through
crack the anxious depositors could see
the shining gold, and as it rolled up the
steps of the bank, 50 gold pieces kept
dropping out, and were picked up by the
janftOr. When the coin was all rolled in,
Matt came out again and told all who had
money there to go in and get it, as the
bank proposed to pay them all off and
start fresh, and didn't want such a cow
ardly lot of depositors anyway. All the
time he was piling on the indignation he
didn't want to be taken at his word, as the
bank had only $4,000 cash on hand
against SOC. 600 of deposits made. He had
brought $4,000, but there was still short
age of $4,000. However, the game
worked. The people were reassured by
the sight of the barrels of coin and went
away satisfied. The run was averted and
the bank pulled through all right

THE WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs.
4 Discussion of the Wages Question at
Last Evenings Meeting.

Last Evenings Meeting.
The District Woman Suffrage Associa-
iion meeting at the Riggs House last
evening appointed as delegates to the
National w. S. A., which will meet in
this city April 3ond 4, Mrs Sperry, Mrs.
MCPHERSON, Miss Fanny Edwards and
Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood
II was resolved to appoint committee
to investigate the apparent unfairness
now existing in the salaries of The
women teachers in the public schools of
the District A paper was read which
affirmed that now the salaries paid to
eighth grade women teachers Is only two
thirds that paid to men for the same
work. a case was cited where female
eighth grade teacher, who was also prin-
cipal OF building, received less pay than
n male teacher in the same building,
who had but the one school under his
charge. Statistics show that the female
teachers make better records in exam
nations than male teachers in same
grades, and almost every one admits
that women are the better teachers.
Miss Anthony thought the committee
OF investigation would do no good. Moth
ing but the ballot in woman's hands
would give her the power she wants.
After much discussion IL was decided
that the chair appoint such committee.
After the business of the evening Miss
Rachel Foster, the corresponding secre.
tary of the National w. S. A., spoke for o
few minutes about the coming Inter-
national Council and the distinguished
speakers from foreign countries who are
to be here. Miss Foster Is q decidedly
sensible-looking girl, and though neither
eloquent nor handsome, talks and looks
exceedingly well before an audience. She
seems 70 possess an abundance of that
rare quality, good common sense. Miss

their friends at the Riggs House on
