An Old Soldier Commits Suicide.

In the little village Of Ellsworth, in the
mountain region Of the town Of Kent, Conn,
an old soldier named Parsons committed
suicide. He had been great sufferer from
dr0psy, and was destitute and dependent upon
his neighbors and few friends for the bare
necessities OF life. His aged wife lived with him,
and did all that she coud to make him com
Portable. Another old soldier, who lived near
Parsons, had done good deal for him, and to
the house Of this friend Parsons went the other
day. He thanked his friend with tears In his
eyes for the many kindnesses he had shown
him, aud told him he would no longer be de-
pendent upon his bounty. Parsons then went
TO window aud raised it, apparently to get
air. Ia moment his neighbours attention was
called 10 him by groan. lie rushed to Par.
s0nss assistance, and was just ia time to catch
him in his arms as he fell dead. Parsons had
opened big jack knife and had stabbed him
self TO the heart, dying instantly. Parsons
served in California regiment and the diili-
Guilty of getting witnesses proved an insur-
mountable obstacle in the way Of his getting q
pension.

The genus Mustela as represented on this

dental formula is similar; on the upper jaw six
incisors. two CANNES, four premolars and one
molar, and on the lower the same, except that
there are two moars-total, IS teeth of the
carniporous pattern, the animals being without
exception feSh-eaters. This is two more pre-
molars than are possessed by weasels, but they
do not always develop.
Martens aud sables represent the species OF
this genus, and Mustela martes, Its type, has
seven vertebrse in the neck. is in the back, SIX

to which the hip bones are attached, and IL or

the sub-famiy, the size of animals belonging

large. Their forms are moderately stout, the
claws strong, curved aud acute, in correspond

NEW YOnK STATE FAIR.

Chauncey Depew Tells the the
Cause of the Agricultural Depression.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 16.-This was the big
day of the season of the state fair. The at
tendance from the special trains and from
the vicinity was large Notwithstanding the
bad condition Of the grounds from last
nights rains. Mr.. Depew addressed a
large audience. He began by calling at
tention to the great growth of the country
during the half century of the society's
existence. He then said: The railroad
first developed the agricultural resources
of our country, then brought on their par
aIysis, and now, under a wiser administra-
ton on one hand and a more liberal under
standing on the other, the farm and rail-
road are seen to be i%nseparably united as
allies and as passengers; the blight Of one
is the bankruptcy of the other. 1t was
after 1910 tnat capital began to be at
tracted in large amounts to railwry enter
prises. Then came IN era of overbuilding.
Railroads were extended through the
wilderness and across the pralries for
thousands of miles where there was neither
q tOlI VI lAClkAO IN q nAAOuu VI PuooSAh
gers. Every effort was made to stimulate
immigration into the new country from the
east and from European countries. The re-
suit has been to absorb nearly the whole
of our public domain and the production
of an enormous surplus Of agricultural
products. As a consequence we have be-
come not only the largest agricultural ma
ton in the world. but we dominate in
prices of the products of the farm in all the
markets of civilization. In addition to the
largely increased production, Depew
found a further cause for the agricultural
depression in the attempt by American
spectators to corner markets. These at
tempts resulted in stimulating the agri-
culture of all of the competitors for the
worlds markets. In view of the depres-
sion brought about by these causes, it
becomes the duty of the American states
man and the American farmer to look
about for remedies. The first act OF the
farmers of the United States should be to
intelligently organize. In the present con-
dition of the world, organization is
a necessity Of existence. Capital Or
ganizes in corporations labor Or
ganizes in trades, also the manufacture
ers organize for protection. The farmers
alone have failed to unite in any efficient
and practical way. In conclusion Depew
said: "In my judgment, we are near the
bottom of the grave of agricultural depres-
sion and will soon begin to climb up the
other side"

sion at Taylor, both of which took effect.
Taylor Is still alive but very low, although
able to converse with those about him. In
reply to questions. he stated that he DOGS
not know what prompted Helm to shoot
him. Taylor is prominent in several Sc
cret societies, and also in business enter
priSes. He Is IS years old and married.
After shooting Taylor, Helm hurried to his
own house, and q little before s o'clock
people living in the vicinity were alarmed
by hearing five pistol shots fired in rapid
succession. Immediately thereafter Maud,
a 1S-year-old daughter Of Helm, was seen
to run out of the house and start down the
street. She proceeded but a short distance
when she fell to the pavement. NeighbOrs
rushed to her assistance and on asking her
what was the matter she replied: "Father
has shot me-" Her dress was then discov-
cred to be on fire, but was quickly extin-
guished. A physician soon arrived on the
hospital where she now lies in a critical
condition. Examination shows that che
first shot fired entered the right side of her
face at short range. AS she started
to run out Of the house her father
fired two shots at her, n taking effect
under the shoulder, passing through her
STOMACH, the other passing through her
was the scene Of the murderer's most hor-
rible work and it shows evidence Of a
terrible struggle. The kitchen was COW
cred with blood from one end to the other
and everything was in great disorder.
Just outside the back door Of the house
lay two bodies. Carrie, the eldest girl, lay
with her feet toward the door with her
face covered with blood, the deadly bullet
having entered the left side Of her face,
passing upward toward the brain, death
having resulted instantly. Across
her PROSTATE form lay Bertha, the
youngest daughter. When found she
was unconscious, but shee expired
in Is minutes, the bullet that caused her
death having entered her read just behind
the left ear. Sheriff Coffin arrived at
Helms house at Sis and after placing a
guard about the house, detailed men to
search the city for the criminal. While
this search was going on, the city marshal
joined the force of officers and arrived at
the house and it was decided to closely eN-
anime the chambers lest he should be in
hiding there. AS they entered the front
chamber they were Mortified to see the
dead body of Hem stretched on the floor
with a bullet through mis- temple from a re-
vOlver which lay by his side.

To save the Train wreckers.

Albany, Sept. 15.-It was learned to-
night from one Of the detectives who
have been working on the New York
Central train wreckers case that the
whole fight, when the train wreckers are
brought up for trial, will be conferred in
an effort to save Herman. He said
Herman was a shrewd fellow and had
been admitted to all the councils OF the
Knights and knew all their secrets, while
the other men we're only tools and acted
under his instructions. All but Herman
have, 1t has been learned from a reliable
source, made written confessions which
implicate the five men now in custody as
being wreckers, and from the same
source it is said evidence has been
put into the hands of the railroad
officials which will secure indictments
and convictions. The only trouble to be
feared seems to be the jury, which con-
tains men known to be in sympathy with
and who can be influenced by the
strikers. Promised financial aid for the
men who took part in the now defunct
strike arrived to-day. Each man re-
ceived a munificent sum. Some received
$1.25 each and others received as much
as $3.50 each. The ex-strikers are thor
oughly disguised.
