THAT NIAGARA MYSTERY.
An Apparent Effort to Steal the Body Of
the Unknown Suicide.

A Niagara Falls special to the Philadelphia
Press, July IA, says: The usual Sunday quiet Of
the village of Drummondville, Ont, was dis
turbe1 at very early hour this morning in a
manner that only seems to deepen the mystery
surrounding the letter found on the Third Sis
ter island July and the body of q man found
In the whirlpool June a.
1t will be remembered that there seemed to
exist an undoubted connection between the
writer of the letter and the body found in that
in the letter the writer stated that he intended
to commit suicide after removing everything
from him by which he could be identified, and
when found the body was nude with the excep-
ton of black checked necktie. The writer
also intimated that he had aided in the murder
OF DIR. Cronin, and, in fact, it seems as though
the letter had been written by a conscience
stricken coward
The latest development deepens the mystery.
1t was about midnight last night when VIM
Wright. a prominent citizen of Drummond-
vile, left his home to go to the drug store for
medicine for his sick wife. On his way he was
forced to pass the Drummond Hill cemetery,
and 1t was while hurrying along by the lone
some place that he heard a noise as though
some one was at work within the grave yard.
Carefully scanning the ground he was able to
see man some little way off hard at work dig
glng into grave. The thought of ghouls en-
tered his head and he started to run. He had
not gone far when he met his neighbor, Par
nell Wybra, homeward bound and he told him
what he had seen. Together they picked their
way back, but their coming had been an
nounced, for they were just in time to see
man of large frame running away. They went
at once and aroused VIM. Dalton, the sexton,
who armed himself, and together they made
an examination. Their investigation revealed
the startling fact that the grave which the man
had been working at was that containing the
body found in the whirlpool. Close beside the
grave lay a new shovel and an extremely large
sack. The use to which it was intended to put
this latter article is only too apparent.
The Buffalo Express to-day prints fac simile
of the letter found, and the occurrence of last
night has aroused greater interest in the mat
ter, for it is very evident that some one is de-
sirous of taking the body somewhere else or
putting it further out of the way, fearing that
it will be exhumed.
Never before. probably, has such widespread
attention been called to a body found at Ma
CARA, but notwithstanding this fact only one
inquiry has been made and that by telegraph
from Sheboygan, Mich. by John g. Loucks 1t
would seem that this alone establishes the fact
that some one knows who the dead man is and
Is deslrlous of keeping it quiet The man may
or may not have been CO INJECTED with the
Cronin murder, but there is nothing improba-
bic about the letter. Possibly he has been put
out OF the way as WAS DR.. Cronin, but the fact
that some one wanted to steal the body only
deepens the mystery.

More Light on Suspect Burke.

". 4. Horne. brother-in-law of the Cronin
suspect Beggs. gave information to the Chicago
police yesterday regarding the supposed move

week after the disappearance of Cronin, there
came to Hornes house, ON the invitation of
responds exactly with the published picture of
Burke. The visitor accompanied by a
woman named Minnie" who keeps boarding
house in the part of the city adjacent to the
Carlsons' cottage. The supposed Burke and his
companion spent the day with the Hornes.
and, according to Horne, were uneasy and
apparently trying to evade observation. The
value of this information, if true, would be in
establishing a more or less direct connection
between Beggs and Burke. Horne and his
living apart. Horne also claims that BeGgs
cheated him in settling up the estate of their
father-in-law

1t is poor taste to wear large diamonds,

An oyerdressed man is poor advertisement

Fancy hat bands are popular, and some very
pretty patterns are shown in them. This is an
age OF decoration, and headgear comes in for
its share.
There is variety of styles in buttons for
white and fancy vests. but the plain pearl is the

The Shah's Boy a Girl.

London Special to the Philadelphia Press
The shah's stay in London appears to have
made that worthy potentate very tired, and in
the proper and not the slangy meaning of the
word. Since he started out in the country he
has been two hours late on an average for
every appointment, and has shown an unusual
fOndness for going to sleep at unexpected mo-
ments. when his people dare not wake him.
The fact that his majesty takes about with him
very pleasing young woman in boys costume
Is being commented upon and has riled the
British matrOn considerably. As a matter of
fact. the British matron ought TO be rather
grateful TO mis- majesty for having only brought
one Young person from his harem instead of
half dozen. which would have been yery
moderate according to his point of view, and
for keeping this young woman SO much in the
background as he does.
The shah's temporary favorite. who is very
rarely seen. is a remarkably gOOd-lOOking girl
OF ClrcasSian birth. not in the least resembling
the ordinary Circasslan girl of commerce. as
exhibited in New York dime museums. She
has short hair. very fine eyes. and, in fact, the
classical combination which goes to make up
oriental beauty.
Somebody since the shahs arrival has been
amusing himself by calculating his majesty's
expenses On this trip. Although nearly every
thing Is paid for by the various governments,
towns. lord mayors and private individuals with
whom his shahShip comes in contact. it seems
that his own expense account will easily 20 up
beyond S1.5O0,O00 before he gets home, on ac-
count OF the presents which he gives and the
size of his suite. which numbers over sixty. and
probably uses up great deal of pocket money.
