SUICIDE OF I. B. GOVANj
The Mad Deed Committed by
the Celebrated Lawyer
ARRIVAL IN PHILADELPHIA

Mind Was Unbalanced De.
tails of the Terrible Tragedy
at a Washington Hotel,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec, l5.-The remain
Of franklin B, Gowen, who committed
suicide in Washington, reached this cit.
this morning and were at once conveyed
to slate residence at Mount Airy, neal
Germantown. 1t is the desire Of the
family that the funeral, which is to take
place Tuesday morning, shall be ex
tremely private, and only the relatives
minister and the family physician are
expected to attend, Theinterment, 1t il
thought, will be at Ivy Hill Cemetery,
Germantown, where the deceased owned
alot.
All inquiry has thus lar failed to re-
veal any cause for the rash act. The
members Of the family positively refuse
to bs interviewed and the closest person
al friends Of Mr., Gowen are unable 10
assign any reason why heshould wish TO
end his life. 1t IL related that a fortnight
ago, when he desired to leave the city
Tor his suburban home, Mr.. Gowen
boarded the wrong train, u thing he was
never known TO do before, and was car
ried some little distance out OF his way.
II Is said that Mrs. Gowen told close
friend OF the family that ten days pre-
ytous to her husbands last visitto Wash
ingtOn, she had noticed something
strangein his conduct. Itis thought by
many here that the great lawyers mind
BECAME unbalanced through too persist
ent application to business, and that the
suicide was due to this cause.

Another case Of total depravity un

Now as to the "scheme to entrap

Of ordinary courtesy to the West Vir,

has been said in these dispatches which
could be construed into the comments
OF newspaper men, pure and simple, up
on any OF them. This course has not
been followed for lack OF material, let 1t
be understood.
And, now, II the Register and It's cor.
respondents prefer the opposite course,
all right, The history Of the visits OF
various and sundry members OF the West
Virginia delegation 10 the offices OF
prominent Republican papers here and
the appeals there made for tender treat

esting reading. Add TO this few pen
pictures drawn by the newspaper men
who haunt the House Press Gallery,
taken from life, pictures which are the
daily subjects oil comment by Correspon-

entrapped without u chance 10 have their

PARIS, Dec. l5,-The influenza cpl.
demic is in full swing, 1t has captured
the military school OF Saint Cyr, 1t has
attacked the corps de daliet at the opera,
1t has made clean sweep through the
great chops, like the Louvre and Bon
MarChe. In fact, nothing since the
Eltiel Tower has absorbed such public
attention es this aggravatlng and mys-
terlous malady that has swooped down
upon US from Russia, and to-day holds
not less than hundred thousand Paris
ans in It's annoying but happily harm
less, clutches.
DR.. Albert Robin, Of the Academic de
Medicine, expressed himself Us follows:
This disease Is known as influenza, or
more commonly, In French, as la grippe.
An ordinary case Of influenza has moth
Ing more 10 be dreaded than u severe
cold OF q weeks duration. The symp-
toms are unmistable-headaChe, pains in
the eyes, soreness all over the body, as
II one had been beaten, loss Of appetite,
a feverish condition, and general sense
OF lassitude and discomfort.
As to the cause, medical science to-day
is practically at u loss. We can, 10 be
sure, tell the public 1t Is due to the raw
ages OF an undiscovered miCrobe, but tho
public takes only an Indifferent interest
In that iaCt. Why the epidemic shonld
sweep across Europe one year and then
remain unknown for a decade Is beyond
