cred in the kitchen of the Model restau-
ant, on Front street. Very little damage
was lone except by water, and even that
did not prevent the restaurant and barber
shop below from being open as usual yes

said, had no favors To ask from liquor I'M
terests. IL was emincntly proper that the
Methodist church should take the lead in
labor questions as IL was the church
nearest the people.

Suicide Of a Newspaper Man.

Robert NJ Shoecraft, a newspaper
correspondent we'll known all over the
State, and q son of r. p. Shoecraft, of
this city, committed suicide at Tacoma
at an early hour this morning, by
taking twelve grains OF morphine.
The act was premeditated. He told
the writer of these lines, in Portland, a
fortnight ago, that he was on the
verge OF despair; that ho had deserted
from the army and that he feared ar
rest at any moment; that he wanted
to leave the country, and could not
obtain the means to do so; that sui
eide seemed to be the only alternative
from a life of misery, and that it would
be the last resort soon if aid not
reach him from his friends. The Sc
quel. shows that he meant every word
he uttered, and alone and deserted he
took the 'last step accorded to mortals
in his condition, to the Unknown
Shore where the good and the bad is
accredited with unerring justice.
Robert was a man of more than aver
age ability and might, under different
circumstances, have found a better
end.
