A STRANGE SUICIDE.
Was Miss White Prosecuted Was She of
Unsouud Mind?

Was Jessie White a monomaniac or was
she the victim of q iendish persecution!
This is the question agitating the people Of
Joliet, Ills, at present. The other day, while
driving about the city in a carriage, she com
mitted suicide by shooting. She left a note
saying that she could stand the persecution
no longer-thereby referring to an untold
number of anonymous letters rejecting on
her character which have been received by
her friends. relatives and acquaintance dur
ing the past two years.

Things for Which Bismarck Is Famous
Outside of Politics.
Some time ago, while Prince Bismarck was
still chancellor Of the German Empire, his
physician warned him that if he wished to
live he must reduce his consumption Of wine
and tobacco. Bismarck's reply was charac-
teristic. "a mans life capacity" ne said,
''is ten thousand bottles Of champagne.
exceeded that limit long ago"
The prince undoubtedly spoke the truth,
for besides an iron VIII and iron nerve he had
an iron stomach, particularly in his younger
days, when he shone preeminent at all the
student drinking boute. At Gottingen uni
versity he was indeed to his classmates and
friends what he was destined afterward to
be to the German people leader.

General Miles Makes Some Suggestions
to the War Department Anent the
Handling of the Apaches.

WASHINGTON, May 29. secretary
Proctor has received telegram from
General Miles, recommending that he
be given authority to remove from the
San Carlos reservation to place of
safety, the Indians now making trouble
also that he may remove the peaceably
disposed Indians who have for years
petitioned to be sent to Verde or Nc
Dowell also that the treaty with Mexico,
which will allow the troops of each gov
ernment to cross the line while in pur-
suit OF savages, be renewed. General
Miles states that he proposes to organize
two small and effective commands to
pursue continuously the Indian bands
now out, but the commands will be
hampered unless they can pursue the
Indians into the mountain Businesses of
Mexico. Secretary Proctor, after coun-
selling with the necessary cabinet
officers, will advise General Miles of the
result.

teresting Statistics.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The national
convention of railroad commissioners
met here today. Chairman Cooley, of
the interstate commerce commission,
presided. The report of the committee
on legislation said the lack of uniformity
in railway legislation was due, first, to
the want of harmony between congress
and the state legislatures second, to
the want of harmony in the legislation
OF the different states. The report rec
commended that the main features of the
interstate commerce law be made part of
the laws of the different states, and that
laws be enacted by congress securing
uniformity in the various details Of rail-
road equipment and management, with
the view of greater safety for employees
and the public.
A statement compiled by the inter-
state commerce commission showed that
during the year ending June 10, 1889,
there were killed on the railways of the
United States 1928 people, and 26,039
injured. OF the number killed, 1872
were employees; 80 passengers and
3,541 denominated ''other persons" OF
the injured, 2o,02S were employees /;
2,146 passengers and 4,135 other per-
sons. The number of railway employees
of the United States is given as 704 1856.

A BOGUS CORPSE.
How a Tarheel Tried to Swindle a Life
Insurance Company.

RALEIGH, N. c., May Twelve
months ago James Dillon, well-known
citizen of Tyrrell county, insured his life
for $4,000 in Connecticut mutual life
insurance company. Some time after he
overturned his boat, and was supposed
to have been drowned. The company,
however, refused to pay the insurance
money, and his wife began to prosecute
her claim. Ten days ago a body was
found which was identified by twenty
five persons as that of Dillon. The wife IS
counsel took a nonsuit on account OF the
finding of the body, and notified the
company of its Identification. The com
pany agreed to abide by the decision OF
their counsel, when, to the surprise OF
all, Dillon returned, he thinking the non
suit had put an end to his chances OF
obtaining the insurance. He had hidden
in the swamps for five months, and had
rugged up corpse which he had found
to represent himself. His return has
created much excitement, and talk o1
tar and feathers is INDUCED in.

CHICAGO GAS TRUST.

Stock Declining.

Stock Declining.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-In the case of
Charlton versus the Chicago Gas Trust,
Judge Collins this morning issued an in
junction restraining the trust, or COM
panies comprising it, from transferring
any of their stock or assets to the FideI-
ity Trust Company, of Philadelphia. He
also decides to appoint receiver for the
trust, whom he will name tomorrow. A
year or so ago Philadelphia, New York
and Chicago capitalists obtained control
of all the gas companies of Chicago and
formed gas trust. The supreme court
of the state declared the trust unconsti-
tutional, whereupon the name of the
combination was changed to the Chicago
Gas Company, and the Fidelity Trust
Company, Of Philadelphia, was given
control of the stock.
New YORK, May 2S.-2 p. m.-The de-
cision in the Chicago gas case caused a
heavy slump in all the trusts. Chicago
gas declined from 621a to 551a, but later
recovered to SO. The other trusts also
recovered.

ton as President.
New YORK, May 28.-At the annual
meeting of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company the following board of direc-
tors was elected: Isaac E. Gates, Calvin
S. Brice, Samuel Thomas, Oliver H.
Payne, Edward Lauterbach, Charles w.
McGee and James B. Houston.
The statement of the president, George
j. Gould, for the year ending April
3Oth, shows: Net earnings of 21a per
cent after deducting extraordinary ex-
penses of $250000 for repairs on the
steamers City of New York and City of
Sidney. The business of the Atlantic
and China line shows falling-of, which,
however, is more than offset by gains on
the Panama line and reduction in ex-
penses, so that the net earnings exceed
those of last year $15, 700. The cash on
hand is $235, 900.
Gould says further: "Our relations
with the Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company, owned by the Central
and Union Pacific railroads, has been
somewhat strained under the present
arrangements. Joint agencies are main
tanned at Yokohama and Hong Kong
The figures of the past year show that
Occidental and Oriental boats carried
nearly one-third more cargo than this
company's ships"
President Gould recommends that
trans-Pacific business be pooled, or, fail
ing in this, that the Pacific Mail estab-
lish separate agencies.
The total earnings were $4,O65, 900 /;
expenses, $3.50, 900; net earnings,
$5l0,O00; cash assets, April 30th,
$673 600; liabilities, $178,O0O.

rectors, j. B. Houston was elected presi-
dent and Edward Lauterbach vice

PORTLAND, Ore, May 2S.-The author
tiles last night made a seizure of 80
five-tael cans of opium, at a Chinese
wash house on Second street. The au-
thorities had suspected for some time
that an organized band of smugglers ex-
listed. They arrested John Mays, a
brakeman on the Northern Pacific, as
one of the principals. 1t seems that the
opium had been consigned to Lee Hing,
a Chinese merchant. Upon its arrival
Hing, in company with Mays and a con-
ductor, went down to receive it. When
they arrived at the wash house they
found that the opium had been located
by the customs officers, and refused to
pay for it. The brakeman and conductor,
at the point of pistol, forced Hing to
write note to his partners, telling them
to send the money or the railroad men
would kill him. The note was given to
Mays to deliver, but fell into the hands
of the officers, who caused his arrest
Before the other principals could be Sc
cured, they forced Lee Hing into boat
and escaped, taking the Chinaman with
them.
