A VICTIM OF THE WHEAT ooRNEE


 F. w. Williams, weIi Known New
 York BaRkers Shoots Himself. NEW YORK, Oct 8.-Francs W. Williams, aged 61, senior partner of the old and exten- sive banking and commission house of Will Hams, Black & Co.,, shot himself day in a room of the Grand Union Hotel, owing to mental distress caused by insomnia and wor- rv over the trouble of his firm. The firm was caught in Hutchinson's squeeze of Sep- tember wheat and were obliged to accept the leniency of creditors in order to tide over the trouble, This was the first embarrassment the house had suffered in it's long career, its credit having hitherto been practically un- limited, and MT. Williams was prostrated by the blow.
 He had been confined to the house, and to- day against the orders of his physician and the advice of his relatives he insisted on going out He went to the hotel and asked for a room where he could be undisturbed. Later he sent for glass of liquor but it was l untouched. His sons and partners later in the day becoming alarmed at his absence be- gan searching for him, and finally traced him to the hotel. The door of his room was broken in, and Mir. Williams was found dead on the floor in pool of blood which had is. sued from @ bullet nole in his head. He had left note to his wife saying that business troubles had worried him so much that life was unbearable. He felt it better for his family and himself to die

A SENSATION SPOILED.
Alleged Beauties Who Chew Plug

Rich

Alleged Beauties Who Chew Plug
Tobacco and Are Not Even
Rich
The Atlanta, (Ga.) papers are filled
with sensational accounts of how two
beautiful and accomplished ladies OF
that city fell in love with and married
two negro men, one an eX-cOnylct and
the other the owner of a VIGOROUSLY
bad character says the Savannah News.
The females are quoted as being quite
wealthy, one of them being worth
$4,000 to $4,000. and the other was
nearly as rich. They are credited with
getting this money from the division OF
their fathers estate, which was sold at
administrator sale for 5000.
Citizens of Atlanta who are familiar
with the history of the family which has
been brought into such prominence are
laughing over the accounts which have
found their way into the papers.
Several years ago there lived, about
five miles from Atlanta, an old man by
the name of Hugh Dunning. While
walking on the track of the Western IL
Atlantic railroad one day he was killed.
lie left wife and three children. The
eldest was Maggie. the next Matilda.
Susie. Since Dunning'S death the fam
lily, or at least the mother and her
daughters Matilda and Susie, have been
living immoral lives. The old woman
commenced drinking hard, and still
keeps up the habit to an excessive eX-
tent, while Matilda and Susie have
been keeping the society OF negro men.
Matilda claims to have married negro
by the name of Frank Peacock. and
Susie, while calling herself Mrs. White,
says that she is the wife of Green Jack
son, another negro. Both of the
women are of the commonest character.
In addition to their manner of enjoying
social life, both of them chew plug to-
bOccO and almost live on snuff. Their
manner of conversation is anything but
choice, and in general terms they are
anything but respectable. When Dun
ming died his entire estate consisted OF
135 acres of land, which was sold at adj
miniStrator's sale for $3.50 per acre. l

this city, and a lot in the city of Atlanta
worth probably $1,000. The proceeds
wife and her three daughters. the divis
ion being something like 81 800 for each.
Susie, being a minor, was not given her
share of the plumber, but i'll some way
got her hands on it and skipped out to
Ohio with Green Jackson, a negro boy.
She now claims to have married him,
but the marriage certificate lacks the
signature of any official having the an
thority to perform any such ceremony.
Her sister was arrested in Chattanooga
some time ago while living with Pea
cock, and got out of her trouble by
claiming that she had negro blood in
her veins, and that she and Peacock
were husband and wife. Both women
are known to have had negro children.
The two Dunning women, Martin
Holmes, Louella Carr and Green Jack
son the last three negroeS) are confined
at police HEADQUARTERS as suspects.

gained her mind she had no recollection
OF ever having been away from home.
You remember the case of the Merriam
park farmer who disappeared for sew
eral days and was finely found with a
big wagon load OF butter, He had
been driving all over the country buy
ing up all the butter he could FIND,
although he had no more use for 1t
in such quantities than you have.
The people from whom he DO light no
ticed nothing strange in his conduct
and yet he was clear out of his head.
Then there is the case of old man john
son, who wandered away and found
himself in London, England, without
having any idea how he got there, and
who at once started back for Kansas
City. | remember also the case of a
New York merchant who started to San
Francisco to start branch house there.
He got off the train at little station OH
the Santa Fe in Kansas, leaving his bag
gage behind him. He wandered out on
the prairie about twenty miles and died
from exposure. There are cases of
physical phenomena which ! don't pre-
tend to explain. They are very curious.
The majority of disappearance, how
ever, turn up in few days and that is
why there is not much fuss made over
them -

FROZEN FISH FOR DIET.
Extreme Cold as an Eskimo
Method Of Cooking.

SOlu dh
Method of Cooking.
The Eskimo method of dispOsing of
salmon is to eat it raw and cooked by
boiling, such methods as frying, broil-
ing, steaming, and in fact anything else
but boiling being almost unknown
among their cooks, with any sort of
meat whatever, says the American
Angler. Strictly speaking, their raw
salmon-and other meats alSo-haye
been frozen solid before they partake
of them, and this can be considered as
one method Of cooking them; it is, to
say the least, hardly fair to speak OF it
as raw in exactly the same sense as
we understand it, for in that condition
they have almost as much repugnance
for it as we have.
So whenever one hears of the Eskimo
(at least it was true of the Eskimo of my
arctic acquaintance eating the raw
meat of fish or animals the chances are
ninety-nine out of hundred that it is
frozen as hard as a chunk of ice and can
no more be called raw than can smoked
beef be called the same because it is not
cooked. In fact. think can cOnScien-
tiouSly say that much of the fish / had
while in the north / preferred in a
IrOZen Stdlc W DclliS CoOhcu, lol CHCil
that rigorous climate is not proof
against that easily spoiled meat having
a slight faint at times, es-
pecially during the summer, and
even in the late spring and
early fall, when this is liberated by the
heat of cooking, it renders the fish I'M
palatable. oftentimes to such an extent
that | could not touch it, while the
same salmon frozen would be more ac-
ceptable to the palate, the frost seem
ingly killing all unpleasant tiavors.
In the dead of the arctic winter of
course the fish generally freeze as solid
as club in few minutes, and have
often seen the Eskimo pick UP one by
the tail that had been caught quarter
of an hour before and whack a sneaking
dog over the head that was trying to
steal one Hopping on the ice that had

PEARLS WE'RE USED AS FUEL.
The Costly Error Once Made by
Her aieStY Queen Victoria

Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
The queen has taken great care that
all her daughters shall have fine pearl
necklaces for their shapely necks, says
the Liverpool Mercury. She has looked
after them in that respect from their
babyhood. One of her first purchases
after the birth of each has been two or
three pearls (of which jewel the queen
is fond, and every year until their mar
rage she has added pearl or two to
her stock, until the necklace she re-
0uired was ready. In this quiet, eco
nOmical way she has been enabled to
make ND rope of pearls for each of the
princesses, and those who have
seen the necklace at court will bear me
out in saying that the queens daughters
are, so far as pearls go, well sup
piled with jewelry. Thereby hangs a
tale for which the correspondent can
vouch. Some years ago her majesty
bought from Well-knOWn London pearl
united cost of which was not far short
of $500. Four hundred and eightypounds
is the exact sum mentioned. They
pleased royalty greatly and were paid
| for without demur. A little while after
the purchase had been made the mer-
! chant was surprised to receive letter
| from Il lady at court saying: 'sThe
| queen wants to know whether pearls
| will burn" The reply to this some
what startling scientific inquiry was an
| assurance that if her majesty wished to
oxygenize pearls for her amusement
she would find that they would burn in
| an ordinary fire.
This rejoiner produced the secret.
The queen had placed the pearls on her
writing desk in piece of tissue paper
which jewelers. use. As she was writ
ing one morning she used the tissue
paper to wipe her pen and threw it into
the fire. The pearls, all unobserved.
went with it. The ashes of the CRATE
were searched for them in vain. They
had been destroyed so utterly as to leave
| no trace. The queen with her own hand
