STORY OF A ELOATER.

The Finding of Body in the Mississippi
at st. Louis, which was Identified as
that of Franklin A Booth, Leads to the
Unfolding of What Might Have Proved
q Much More Serious Tragedy if Some OF
the Parts Had Not NIiscarried.
ST. LOUIS, July 2.-The discovery of
the body of Franklin A. Booth floating
in the Mississippi river Tuesday even
ing, deepens the mystery surrounding
his disappearance and death. Booth
had been employed as a salesman by
the Hargadine & McKittrick Dry Goods
Co., but few weeks ago he was given
vacation to enable him to nurse a
sick wife The firm paid his salary
every two weeks while he was away.
His wife has been suffering from con-
sumption for over year, and at the
Her husband was steady, sober man,
and always very kind and attentive to
his family. Booth mysteriously disap-
| peared from his home at S o'clock last
Sunday morning, and his wife has made
some startling statements to her ply
sician. She said:
'Mr. Booth left me on Saturday, as
he said, to see you to get some medicine
for me and our little child, as both were
unwell. When he returned he had a
| bottle of medicine with him, and gave
some of it to us on Saturday night The
medicine made me very sick, and almost
blinded me for time. Later l felt
easier, but did not recover from the ill
effects all night.
About o'clock Sunday morning, I
| told my husband that the medicine had
acted very strangely and that / wanted
him to see the doctor at daylight. My
husband said he would not give me any
more of the medicine, and then threw
| the bottle away. About 5 a. m. he said
he would GO over and get the doctor
and return in a few minutes. l told
him it was too early and that the doctor
would be in bed. He persisted in going,
saying he would get him up. waited
all day long for his return, and could in
no way account for his absence"
Late Sunday night messenger called
at the doctors office and was surprised
that Booth had not called there either
on Saturday or Sunday. Where he got
the unknown medicine is a mystery,
and his object in thus deceiving his
wife is inexplicable
The recovery of his body was made
known to his wife to-day. While the
sorrowful news was heartbreaking, the
invalid widow seemed prepared to
hear it.
Booth undoubtedly committed sui
eide, and it is supposed that the hot
weather and the worry over his wife
illness had unsettled his mind. His
strange conduct with the new medi-
cine arouses the horrible suspicion that
he intended to destroy the whole fami-
| ly, but the medicine not having accom-
plished the purpose, he left home and
walked to North ST. Louis and jumped
| into the river. He left home in his
| working clothes, and was nervous and
melancholy when he left the house.
The presumption is that he left his
| wife's bedside thinking death was near
at hand, and with the hope that he
would meet her in the next world, di-
rected his footsteps to the river and
| jumped in
Booth was about 45 years old and
| came to ST. Louis from Detroit, Mich.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE London Standard, commen ting
upon the French occupation OF the
province of Luang Prabong, supposes
the movement is prelude to an event
ual attempt by the French to annex
Siam with the object of aiding Russian
designs in eastern Asia. Continuing,
the Standard says such project is GER
tain to involve antagonism on the part
of China.
THE Paris Temps, in discussing the
renewal of the triple alliance, says
that Englands undertaking to protect
Italy from a French attack is not
needed because such an attack is ut
terly improbable. The obvious design
of England is to maintain the balance
of power in the Mediterranean without
favoring any individual power.

CARDINAL GIBBONS PLEASED.

The Catholic Frelate Interviewed on the
Pope's Alleged Letter Declaring He will
Never Concede the Demands of Herr
Cahensy and His Fellow European
Meddlers in American Affairs.
BALTIMORE, July 2.-Cardinal Glib
bons last night said in regard to the
Rome cablegram of yesterday which
stated that the pope had written him
declaring that he would never concede
the demands of Herr Cahensly:
Il will be very glad to receive the
letter from the pope, for it will remind
foreigners that the episcopates of the
United States are fully capable of dis
charging their duties and that whilst
the bishops are Jealous in the fulfill
ment of their spiritual functions, they
are thoroughly loyal to the coun-
try and in harmony, as they
ought to be, with her political institu-
tions. We trust that the letter of the
holy father will serve to restrain for
eigners from any hasty or unwarranta-
BILE interference with our domestic
affairs in the future. They seemed to
be impressed with the idea that the
Catholic community in the United
States is a simple aggregation of for
eigners, while in reality the great bulk
of the Catholic community is made up
of natives, some of whose ancestors,
especially in Maryland, have been set
tied in the country for several genera
tions."

THE AMERICAN HOG,

Satisfactory Results of the Pork Inspec-
tfon in Chicago-Secretary Rusk Finds
that American Pork will Average Much
Better than that of Amy other Country
The Reason Why.
WASHINGTON, July 2. - Secretary
Rusk, when asked in regard to the re-
suits of the pork inspection at Chicago,
said yesterday that it had been very
satisfactory. The proportion of ami
mails found affected is less than was ex-
pected, and he believes less than exists
in the hogs of any other country. Our
pork, he continued, is the most whole
some of any produced in the world, be-
cause our hogs are raised under the
best sanitary conditions. They are not
confined to small pens and filthy quar-
ters as in other countries, but they
have the run of large fields and are fed
upon clover and corn. Hogs here are
not treated as scavengers and fed upon
slops and garbage, as they are in Eu-
rope; but on the contrary, they are
raised as means of marketing in a
concentrated form the bulky produce
of our farms. Our inspection has DEM
onstrated without question that the
pork of the United States is beyond
suspicion, and the inspected product
will be by far the best which finds its
way to the European markets.

The Supply of Copies Inadequate.

The secretary of state is having some
trouble over the inadequate supply of
session laws. For several years the
number of copies printed has been s.
900, and this was the number provided
for by the last Legislature, Mr.. OCon-
ne1l's bill increasing the number to H.
600 having been killed. This number,
however, has proved entirely too small.
After the distribution to county and
other officers has been made according
to law, and after 800 copies are reserved
for the use of the next general assem-
bly,, only about 700 copies will remain
for general distribution. Requests for
copies of the session laws are coming in
at the rate of about 200 a day. A very
large demand comes from other states
It is estimated that at least 25, 900 copies
could be used in supplying the legitimate
demand.
