A SIGNIFICANT MESSAGE.

"Yor may hear something that
will .rprise you. If l leave hear
s" snly it will be for reasons best
Jwn to myself"
1t did not surprise this friend OF
Jay Hamilton s then, when he heard
that the mans dead body had been
found in Snake river and buried in a
desolate Idaho canyon. He waited
patiently and presently there came
a letter in the familiar hand writing
of his friend, dated at San Francisco.
In this letter Hamilton, without
referring in any manner to the re-
ports that had been published of
his death, simply stated that he was
about taking steamer for Japan
and that he would go thence to
Australia, where, under an assumed
name, which he gave, he would be-
gin new life. At the close of the
letter was this significant l,aragranh:
By the time this reaches
will be dead man. | am deao-
dead to every hope and ambition
that I ever entertained. In a new
world and under new name | hope
to reach the goal toward which l
aimed and lost.
HAPPY IN HIS NEW HOME.
at would be breach of sacred
confidence to disclose Ray Hamil.
toms name and present abode" said
this friend last night. "No man of
any sense would believe the stories
that have been printed of mis- death.
Ray Hamilton was a proud and
sensitive man and he felt the dis
grace that was brought upon him
keenly. Is it strange, then, that he
wished to be dead to the world !?
He will probably never return to
this country. If he does so it will
be incognito. can assure you of
this fact that he is happy in his new
home and thankful that he has es-
capped from the siren-like enthral-
dom Of the woman whom, in mis-
guided moment, he made his lawful
wife,"

A DEVOTED FRIEND.

When Eva Hamilton stabbed
Nurse Donnelly at Atlantic City
this old-time friend of the dis
graced husband was the first to fly
to his assistance. During the try
ing times that preceded the con-
viction of the mad adventures who
had dragged the name of a noble
family into the mire, this friend
stood at Ray Hamilton's elbow and
encouraged him with words OF
sympathy and advice.
AT the trial and conviction of the
woman Hamilton had married this
man still stood by his school-boy
friend, and it was through his advice
that Hamilton purchased the rancho
on Snake river. During the time
that Hamilton spent on the rancho
he corresponded frequently with his
friend, and in a letter dated several
days previous to his alleged dramatic
death, he used these words:

THOMAS INDICATED.
Wong Gee On Has Made a Clean
Breast of His Forgery.

Wong Gee On, the Chinese who was ar
Thomas stamp frauds. made confession
yesterday, and backed it up, too, with such
good specimens of penmanship that Revenue
Agent Thomas is entirely exonerated of the
imputation of guilt which a Iare cOmbina-
ton of circumstances seemed TO make.
AT o'clock yesterday afternoon Collector
Quinn, Special Agent Evans. Special Gov
ernment Inspectors Moves and PattisOn and
Interpreter Huff called at the County Jail
to interview On. They put several pieces of
paper before him and asked him to write
The name Thomas" He did it Il score of
times IN free and easy manner, each time
making fac-simile OF the forged stamp and
spelling the name "ThOmos," as it had been
mis- spe He'd 5000 times before in forging The
stamps.
who wrote those stamps in the big
bundle-the 5000 l mean? questioned In
spector Moves.
Il did; wrote Them" came the answer
that vindicated Thomas from all connection
with the frauds. Then he told how he
wrote them. giving the badly written ones to
the cook TO burn up.
The delegation then repaired to the Ap-
prasers' Building, where Thomas was con-
graduated on his escape from Chinese
wlles, while all were elated at the confess
sion. In this manner ends conspiracy

before detection and the ruination of an
estlmable officers reputation afterward.
The discovery of the frauds was made by
Deputy Inspector s. 5. Simon, who nego-
tlated with Chinaman for 10000 stamps.
Eight thousand were delivered. The affair
was then placed in the hands of Special
Government Detectivei Noyes to ferret out.
lie and his associate detective, Pattson,
worked in conjunction on most of the clews
turnedup.
The Internal Revenue Department had
about thirty men working in Chinatown.
The Custom-house had nearly as many in
different places following up as many clews,
which were contradictory in many features,
but all Of which tended to make the case
more ominous for the unfortunate Thomas,
whose name had been forged. Amidst ali
this excitement the Special Agents depart
nent kept cool front aud weighed all the
evidence produced by the two sets of inspec-
tors.
When the confession of Wong Gee On be-
came known in both departments Of the
service Collector of the Port Phelps called
at the Special Agents Department and
thanked In person Inspector Noyes and his
assistants for the work they had done, and
which, he said, he had not dreamed could
have been done so quickly, in the face of
the complications that had set in.
When Wong Gee On wrote the strips
yesterday he was slightly nervous from the
long fast he had had from his usual doses of
opium and whisky. But that did not alter
the characteristics OF the signature in the
least,

new team made their initial appearance on
the home grounds to-day before a very
large weekday attendance, about 1000 spec
tators being present. The league leaders,

some pretty catches, while Reynolds was
