BY THE REVOLVER ROUTE.

Matthew GiIchrist Suicides on n Quiet
street in the East End-Out of Work, In
Debt and Oespondent Were the Causes.
Matthew Gilchrist, aged 80 years, COM
mitted suicide Friday night by shooting
himself in the left temple. Yesterday
morning William Glue, the contractor,
found the body of young man lying op the
pavement on Lincoln avenue, Boulevard
place, between Penn avenue and the Penn
sylvania Railroad. A revolver was clasped
in the left hand and the right hung down
at his side. In the left temple was an ugly
bullet hole, and from all indications the
man had died without a struggle. The
body, which proved to be that of Gilchrist,
was removed to the City Morgue.
Gilchrist formerly worked for Thomas
W. Armstrong as coachman, but was out of
work at present and was very much in debt.
He was despondent, and his friends express
no surprise at his suicide. He had been
working in mill, but on the advice of his
physician, left the place, as this work was
too hard.
Some Of the people who were acquainted
with Gilchrist were of the opinion that he
had been killed by an enemy, but this be-
lief was dispelled by letter found in his
pocket and addressed to his mother, who
lives near Greensburg. In his letter he told
the cause of his suicide and gave directions
for the disposal of his belongings.

CHARMINGLY IMMENSE.
A Weighry Subject From Westmoreland
Couuty-A $50. Pound Girl.

Couuty-A 45O- Pound Girl.
Manager Harry Davis has unearthed a
very large lady. or rather little girl" as
she is just now in her "sweet sixteenth"
year. She has the bloom OF the country
girl upon her cheek, and, from her appear
ance, has lived upon the good old country
fare. A DIsPACH reporter had the pleas
ure of meeting this young lady yesterday.
and she proved to be quite bright little
mountain of flesh. During the course of
the conversation the young lady, who
answers to the name of Della Beck, said:
81 was born in Apollo, but my home now
is in Cokeville, Westmoreland county.
While 1 weigh 450 pounds, measure liz
inches about the waist and 40 inches around
the arm, the rest of our family have all been
ordinary sized people, with the exception of
nv sister, now dead, who weighed 14S
pounds at the age of years. Ny mother
weighs 1S0 pounds, but my father was
very small. While at home 1 as
sisted in the work of the house, nv
mother and myself doing all the work for
family of eight people. I have never been
on exhibition, but willtry to arrange dates
in all the large cities after my engagement
with Mr.. Davis expires.
II am having dress made to-day and
there will be 80 yards of material used in it.
That's enough to break up person with
small pOcketbook.
Miss Beck is certainly "charmingly i'm
mense," and if she continues to grow she
will rival the woman who was sued for dam
ages for having broken the hay scales.
Since she has started out to put footprints
in the sands of time" there is danger OF the
beach being monopolized, and the rest of
the poor mortals are liable to be crowded off
the stamping grounds.
Speaking about big people recalls the
story of family of girls near Mansfield, O.,
who are SO big that they are ashamed Of
themselves, and never go away from home.
The youngest girl is 9 years old and weighs
nearly $50 pouns. Two other young ladies
reach nearly 400 each. Their parents are
both below the ordinary size. As the people
are well to do all efforts to bring them be-
fore the public have been unavailing.

APPLES OF GOLD.
LONG PURSES NEEDED TO Buy FRUIT
THIS WINTER.


California Will Try to Relieve the Fruit
Famine In the Enst-Heavy Freight
Charges VIII Keep the Prices Up-Com.
peting With European Markets.
It's an i'll wind that blows no one good.
The openness of last winter followed by the
paralyzing hyperborean blasts of March
have blown good to California and will DO
much to relieve her people from the slough
into which wild land speculation got them
some months ago. 1t is estimated that
California will ship loo, 900 tons of
fruit to the East this season-fruit
fresh, dried and canned. This will give
the people this side of the Rockies about
four pounds spiece. but a great many peo-
pie, on account of the price, will manage to
get along on pound apiece and others will
not invest at all, so those who have long
purses will be able to keep in mind the
taste of peaches, apricots, plums, ETC.. by q
moderate occasional indulgence.
The cost of getting this fruit East is
enormous, Notwithstanding the talk some
time ago of through freights from Califor-
mia being reduced. The freight on a car
load of fruit is $226 to Pittsburg. This is
over cent pound. but still it would seem
that some retailers must make considerable
money notwithstanding deterioration.
In past years grapes have been al
lowed to rot in enormous quantities on the
vines because after several miles hauling to
railways the growers could only get $6
ton, less than third of a cent a pound.
California will likely soon cease to raise
wheat for shipment. The fruit industry ten
years ago had scarce attracted attention, but
this year its export will be worth $40, ,000, 900,
in addition to the value of fruit brandies.
With canal across the Isthmus of Panama
the Golden State could drive Europe out of
the fruit raising business. The total ship
ments of fruit from the port of Malaga in
the best year ever known was "a, 600 tons of
raisins and oranges and lemons, and this
port is the outlet of the most productive
iruit region in Europe.
The scarcity of home fruit and the cost of
the California product will keep the price
of tomatoes up to the end of the season.
Though they do not absolutely take the
place OF apples, pears. peaches, etc., they
are considerably better than no substitute.
California Bartlett pears cost at retail 30
cents dozen; sickle pears, IS bushel;
plums, $8Q11 20 per bushel: Tokay grapes,
20 cents per pound: peaches, 75 cents per
dozen, and apricots did cost, when in sea-
son, $6 40@11 20 per bushel. At these
prices poor people are not likely to invest
heavily.
