CAN IT BE A SUICIDE 4?
The Body of Henry GoIdstone
Recovered From the Bay,

The body of young man was found in
the bay, near Fillmore-street Wharf. yes ter
day morning by John Casey, saloon
keeper. After considerable trouble the re-
mains were recovered from the water and
removed to the Morgue, where they were
identified as those of Henry GoIdstone, aged
Is years and native of this city. The de-
ceased was employed as a lithographer by
III. S. Croker & Co., and was son of
Mitchell Goldstoue, commission merchant
Of 118 Battery street.
The youth left his home at 912% Post
street at 1880 o'clock on Sunday evening,
and as he was not seen alive after that time
1t is supposed that he was either accident
ally drowned or committed suicide on the
same night. He had all his clothes on when
found. His father says he was a most ex-
emplary youth, with no bad habits. He had
90 cents when he lett home and half OF it
was in his pockets when the body was
found
No reason is known why he should have
ended his life. he had worked three and a
half years at his trade aud was the brightest
apprentice employed by Crocker u Co.
Although he received only SO week, Max
Gumpel the foreman of the lithographing
department, says that he was as skilled as
men receiving four times as much wages
When he was paid off on Saturday night he
left the establishment in the best Of spirits.

with having appropriated to his own use
opium and money while making raids in
Chinatown. 1t Is alleged he would take the
money from drawers and the opium from
shelves. put them in his pocket and leave
when the raid was finished. This matter
was reported to Sergeant Spillane and to the
Chinese Consul, who are investigating. To
tue charge of stealing opium Simon inter-
poses general denial, but he explained the
taking OF money by saving he had been dep
utized by Secret Service Detective Harris to
make seizures OF counterfeit money. lie

Chinatown and supposed that tina; money"
is the kind he is said TO have stolen.
Simon is also charged by Charles Wald-
stein in an affidavit placed before him yes
terday with a serious crime against the in
ternal revenue interests. Waldstein claims
Simon gave him 100 imported opium stamps
''sweated" from opium tins, ana had asked
him to sell them III Chinatown, as he (Slmon)
wanted money. Simon in defense claims
lie had a bundle of fifty-siX stamps for i'm
ported opium, and he gave one to WalGstein
telling him TO try and sell 1t in Chinatown.
He did not make clear by whose authority
he parted with the stamp. He then, lie says,
followed Waldstein TO see who might buy
the stamp. so he might know who needed
stamps for unstamped opium, which is liable
to seizure.

such state that more evidence will have to
be gotten before any proceedings can be
instituted, as it is one mans word against
anothers. In the meanwhile steps must be
taken, Attorney Garter says, to prosecute
Wong Gee On, the forger. WoDg's confess
sion was gotten under promise that he
would not be proceeded against, and conse-
quently will be OF no value to the prosccu-
ton. The District Attorney says he will
not allow the discharge OF Wong, even if the
Government officials did go too far in making
such promises to Wong

LEGION OF HONOR.
The Cross That Is Given to Those
Who Have Won 1t.

Recompenses for gallantry vary with
nationalties. Once on time there was an
understood man with sallow face and eyes
that drove right through you. He was clad
in gray coat and wore a cooked hat. He
was later-day Caesar, that was all, who
made and unmade kings. 1t was his wont

wheel burrows of the artillery had been
smoothed away, the ground still SCARED

and that touch of an emperor, that
tweaklng, was conservation, and
gave something akin to Immortality That
soldier must have been the bravest of
the brave. otherwise Napoleon would never
have been familiar with him. Then the
mastery man would detach a small cross
from his person, pin it with his own hands
ON the breast of the smoke-begrimed SOL
der, and how the fighting legions would
die for the Emperor And it was no va
porting, for to gain that cross half-miIli0n
of men stood ready to bite the dust.
Somehow the traditions of cross
thus acquired live on aud on. A
poor lone woman in a wretched quar-
ter of New York was dying. With hating
voice she said to the cure who stood by her
bedside: ut is by your charity shall find

the cost of the Church, not that that makes
any difference. thank God for the rest of
her soul, but that woman's grandfather was
a General of cavalry-rose from the ranks
and during the fine days Of the empire he
was VI Murats staff; and yesterday trans
mitted to France the cross. 1t was sacred.
Though the woman's family had gone to
wreck and ruin, she, poor soul, was honest
i may say, a God-fearing woman. The
cross of the Legion of Honor saved her.
Why should such material thing have had
such a lasting effect? 1t was case of
noblesse oblige. "-Harper's Weekly.

HOW TO REST.
Some Good Suggestions as to Nee,

Some Good Suggestions as to Needed
Recreation.
In addition to the nights sleep, it is
good plan TO take short nap in the middle
of the day. 1t divides the working time,
gives the nervous system fresh hold on
life, and enables one to more than make up
for the time so occupied. 1t is well to
guard against too long a sleep at such q
time, since that is apt to produce disagree
able relaxation. There has been much dis
cussion regarding the after-dinner nap.
Many believe it TO be injurious; but it is,
nevertheless natural and wholesome.
Much can be accomplished in the way of
resting, otherwise than in sleep. 1t is very
important to economic the opportunities for
rest during working hours in the day. The
great principle that underlies daily rest is
relieving one part of the organization from
duty while the others are at work. This can
be done to great extent.
When the muscles are tired and worn from
mechanical work that requires but little at
tention OF the brain, stop motion and set the
brain at work. The laborer can read, think
and speak while his limbs are at rest. His
brain need not be idle because the hammer

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 21.-An accident re-

Remillard's brick yard, Point San Quentin,
last Thursday afternoon. The cook, All

house a veritable pillar of flame. Several
men seized him and extinguished his blazing
clothes with blankets, burning themselves
severely in their efforts to save his life
The Chinese's case was. however, beyond
redemption. DR.. Mansfield, the resident
surgeon of San Quentin Prison, attended
the sufferer, but could only relieve his NOR
tai agony. He died during the night. The
flames spread and consumed seven small
buildings connected with the brick-yard
used as dormtories, store-houses, etc, the
loss amounting to about $1,000. Coroner
Eden held an inquest on the dead Chinese

Breaks His Neck

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 2l.-A young man
arrived here last Saturday who said he was
broke aud wanted work. He succeeded in
getting employment in Henry Miller's
ranch, about twenty-five miles west of this
place, and yesterday morning he was put to
work breaking colts, one of which succeeded
in bucking him off into ditch. Another
workman, who saw him thrown.Eran to the

aunt in this State and that he was expect
ing his trunk by express. No trunk has
come to the express office here for that
name. That is all the information that can

person that he could be identiged by.

The Story OF Physician Who Was the
Victim to Circumstances.
When the doctors, in a jovial mood, get
together they invariably tell stories if they
have any time on their hands Half a
dozen Rochester physicians were feeling
particularly happy and exultant few days
ago. They had passed delightful hour in
making an examination of the body of o
man killed in an accident and were well
pleased with each other and the gentleman
who had furnished them with their scien-
tiic amusement. When they were through
their work they adjourned TO the office of
one of their number and began telling eXpe-
riences and "reminiscences. They told of
exciting amputations and eXhilaratng op-
eratlOnS until it came the turn of the oidesl

OLYMPIA, Aug. 21.-The Worlds Fair
Commission of Washington met to-day to
reorganizn, the business of the old Execu-
tive Committee having been declared illegal
on account of misinterpretation of the
act of the Legislature creating the CON-
mission. But little business was trans
acted at to-day's session. The time was
principally taken up with a wrangle over the
details between Executive Commissioner
Meeker and the members OF the Executive
Committee. The members of the committee
charge Meeker with characterization. in
capacity and general unfitness for the posi-
ton. He retaliates with counter charges of
extravaganza, political wire pulling and
downright dishonesty On the part Of the
members of the commission. Little progress
was made toward reorganization. c. C.

porary Chairman. and n. Il. Coffan of
Chehalis temporary Secretary. 1t is proba-
Bile that permanent organization will be
perfected tomorrow. The actions of the

Brothers-in-Law Quarrel and One Tries to
Carve the Other.
MARYsvILLE. Aug. 21.-A warrant was
issued by Justice CARRIER for the arrest Of
r. Lane, charged by his brother-in-law,
John Fl. Boyer, with assault with deadly
weapon. The trouble occurred few miles
east of this town. on Boyer's ranch. The
immediate cause of the alleged assault was
a quarrel between the men regarding the
furnishing by Lane of some additional
fruit boxes or crates necessitated by the
recent addition of Boyers' family to the
fruit-pickers. Lane is said to have made
some mpllmentary remarks about the
family, which Boyer resented. Hot words
followed, and Lane finally picked up a
knife and made an attempt to carve his an
tagOniSt, but was prevented by bystanders.
There is a so said to be ill-feeling betweeO
them in relation to the administration of
the estate of Lanes deceased father, of
which Boyer is administrator.

IT chisel has dropped from his weary hand.
On the other hand man can work with his
hands when his head is tired. The book
keeper, whose head is weary with business
facts and figures by o'clock in the after
noon, has considerable time in the evening
to sing, play, dig in the garden, or black his
boots, all or either of which he may do
while his head is partly at rest.
There Is another very important way Of
obtaining rest mentally; that is by chang
Ing from one occupation to another. The
dexterous gold-beatar, when he finds ore
arm getting tired, takes the hammer in the
other; and so may the man who hammers
thoughts out of his brain exercise one set of
mental functions while the others are at
rest. One may read until tired, and then
write; may acquire knowledge until weary,
and then teach it to others.
