LEoNoRE MIToHELL's SUICIDE.
Her Tragic Fate Foreshadowed in Her
New York Career.

LONDON, August 30.-Evidenee taken
at the inquest on the body of Leonore
Mitchell, found seriously wounded in q
railway carriage August 6, indicates
that she committed suicide. 1t has
been elected that the officer who
accompanied her quilted the train two
hours before the fatal shots were fired;
that the deceased was mistress Of
Capt. Lardner, supposed to be the Off
Ger in question; that she was dissipated
in her habits and was addicted to the
use of brandy, which she had been
drinking to excess before her death.
New YORK, August 30-Letters re-
ceived in New York from relatives of
this women show that she was born in
Detroit, and that Leonore Mitchell was
her right name. Her parents were peo-
pie of prominence. She received an
excellent education, but left home and
was not heard of for years. Finally,
she came to this city and took a fat at
No. 1O2 West Forty-fourth street. Her
four collie dogs attracted great deal
of attention, as did also her beautiful
Titian-red hair.
For months some OF the best known
club men paid her attention. She sud-
denly left her apartments, taking her
furniture, dogs and maid. She went to
London and sang in comic opera. Her
beauty and her hair attracted more at
tention than her talent.
"She was very queer GIRL" said a
gentleman yesterday who had know had
known her for years. "She was imperi-
Gus, headstrong and sensitive. She
loved sensation, and / truly believe she
killed herself, being tired of life, and
preferred to have 1t appear that she was
murdered.
"Miss Mitchell's father and mother
died not long ago. Her wayward course
had much to do in Fastening their
death. understand she will be buried
In England, although she has relatives
who, politically and socially, hold posi-
tions OF prominence"

The Senate Committee inquiries into INC
shoe Industry in Massachusetts.
BosToN, MASS, August 30.-For sew
eral days Senators Carlisle and Aldrich
with Secretary Durfee, Of the Sub-com-
mittee of the United States Senate
Fiscal Committee, has been hearing
testimony at the Hotel Vendome from
leading manufacturers in this vicinity
regarding the cost of producing the
various commodities with which they
are identified. The shoe industry OF
Massasschus etts, has occupied gooo
share of their attention as has also the
manufacture of woolens. 1t is the IN
tention to take up every article OF gem
eral consumption and Thoroughly
Analysing the course from the shop, OF
the field to the consumer.
Said Senator Carlisle yesterday:
''There appears to be belief that we
are in some way attempting to gather
material SIMPLY to show what erect 'ne
Mckinley bill has had upon values ana
wages since it went into operation
NOW bllS Is tubiIciy OAANhS~~' r
work comprehends the whole range Of
tariff legislation both in this and Tor
eign countries, and we go as far back IN
our research as practicable, gathering
all the facts that manufacture, trans
portation, wages, ETC., comprehend, ana
applying them in the final deter
mination in a way that shall show TO
us what influence they have had
In increasing the value Of necessary
commodities. We have before US many
eminent economists and have obtained
an enormous mass of statistical matter
that will have its proper place in our
final report.
"With regard to wages, we have an
agent at work gathering statistics ana
he is making satisfactory degree OF
progress"
In reply to question, Mr.. Carlisle
stated that 1t has been found that the
discrepancy between the manufactur
er's price and that paid by the consumer
is abnormaIly large in the matter OF
boots and shoes.

But an open fight is Drawer than an am
BUSH 1 think men are the natural enc
mics Of women who are or have been
unhappilV married. Especially IS the
divorces singled out for attack. After
one or two repulses q man will leave
the woman, who though not happy Is
yet living with her husband alone. DE
comes to the cynical conclusion that
lie ieu men pant pas LG cft0lldette.' But
the divorce is, he considers, his legiti-
mate prey.
"Now figure to yourself the condi-
ton of a woman, without the protection

gerated when said that divorce is
continual state Of torment.
81 wish / might send clarion cry OF
warning to all those foolish women,
who from some frivolous pretext, some
tancied wrong, are ripe for divorce.
The alarming increase for divorce may
well be viewed with apprehension. 1t
is honeycombing society and sapping Its
strength with frIghtful effect.
''If you think the experience and ao-
vice of a divorce would cause one wo-

DRUNK ON SUGAR FUMES.
A saccharIne jag Produced In stevedores
Unloading Vessels.
pB{IOdsf,bS0 Picard

The stevedores unloading sugar YES
sells at Pier 80, South Wharves, have
been involuntarily INDUCING in what
they call sugar DRINKS" 1t is a Curl
Gus fact that the gases arising from
sugar that has been stored In the hold
Of vessel without ventilation will pro-
duce a state of intoxication which might
put to shame that produced by jug OF
kentucky mountain due" This sac
charine flag" is caused by merely
breathing the air where the sugar has
been stored, and while twenty minutes
in the open air is sufficient to work off
its effects, it is none the less Jag"
While the barkentine John Swan was
unloading a cargo Of sugar at Pier 30 1t
was noticed that quite a number OF the
stevedores working In the hold OF the
vessel were acting in strange manner,
as though under the influence of liquor.
They were induced to 60 on deck, APP
parently in beastly state of intoxtca-
ton, but after few minutes in the
open air they recovered and continued
their work.
John Duffy, one of the men affected,
pronounced the sensation to be exactly
similar to the effects OF drinking whisky.
For while he felt stimulated, then be-
gan to grow exhilarated and hilarious.
Shortly after that he began to get dizzy
and stagger, and finally lost all control
of his mental and physical faculties,
when he was removed to the open air
and he recovered shortly afterward.
The effects of the fumes have only
been noticed early in the mornings
when the matches are first removed.
Gradually the current of air from the
two matches diSSipateS the gas, and
within an hour it disappears entirely,
leaving only disagreeable and pene-
traUiug udUr and sediment which pene-
trates every part of the vessel.
Henry r. Inghan, foreman OF the
men employed in unloading vessels for
the Harrison refinery, said yesterday
that he had complained to his employ
ers, with the result that hereafter the
Surveyors watchmen will remove the
matches from the vessels at six o'clock
In the morning. AS the men do not go
to work until seven this will give an
hour for ventilating the hold, which
Mr.. Inghan says is quite sufficient to
destroy the intoxicating gases. Col
lector Cooper's attention was called TO
the state of affairs, and he promptly is
sued the order TO the Surveyors watch
men TO open the matches at six o'clock.

STOLE a FIELD OF WHEAT.
The Daring Deed of an Unknown Man
Near Norwich, Kas.

The Daring Deed of an Unknown Man
Near Norwich, Kas.
WICHITA, KAs., August 30.-The
country in the neighborhood OF Nor
wich, Kingman county, is all torn
up over robbery of grain, the audacity
of which is unparalleled. A little
south of the town stood ten ricks OF
wheat, the property OF John Marrick,
whose own farm is in the western part
of the county, but who had rented this
extra land and put it in wheat. Marrick
is comparatively a stranger in the Nor
witch district, so the sharper who con-
ceived the robbery had no trouble In
passing himself off as the owner OF the
wheat.
The whole thing was perfectly ar
ranged. On the plea of being subject
to sunstroke, and therefore unable to
work in the hot sun, the unknown man
easily persuaded the threshers to put in
a nights work with the machine. There
we're enough teamsters to haul off the
grain as it came from the machine, 1t
being only short distance from Nor
witch. There a grain dealer was in
waiting to receive the grain and at cock
crow over half the product OF the ten
ricks had been safely delivered and the
money for nearly O thousand bushels
of grain handed over to the alleged
owner. When work ceased for the
day the employer arranged with the
threshers and teamsters to be there
again at night, when the rest of the
grain should be threshed anu the work
paid for. When the early morning east
bound train left Norwich, however, the
man who had stolen the wheat was
aboard with big roll of bills in his
wallet, and nothing has been heard of
him since.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-Seventy-
five contractors and builders met today
to consider what action should be taken
in regard to the proposed boycott, by
the trades unions, of ironwork manu-
factured by non-union foundries. Reso-
lutinos were adopted protesting against
boycotts, and committee was appointed
to effect permanent organiza ton of
employers of labor to resist the unrea-
sonable demands of trades unions. Be-
sides this association OF builders, an
other combination Of employers is being
formed in this city. Last week a pre-
liminary meeting was held, at which
over one hundred million dollars of
capital was represented. This associa-
tion is being formed for the purpose of
protecting employers against unjust de-
mands of labor unions, but will not
touch the wage question.
A week ago the shoemakers in Buck

Rosenthal, Feder & Co., comprising the
Shoemanufacturers association, tonight
declared lockout. One thousand men,
women and children are thus thrown
out of employment. These comprise
two-thirds of all the shoemakers in the
city. The factories will obtain the
necessary supplies from the east during
the lockout.

DYNAMITER GIBSON.
THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY ON
THE WHISKY TRUSTS TRAIL.
Some Interesting Testimony Disclosed.
The Trust Charged With Attempting
to Buy OF Witnesses.

CHICAGO. April 1.-THE investigation
into the alleged plot to blow up with
dynamite the distillery OF H. H. Shu-
feldt, by Secretary Gibson of the whisky
trust, was continued today by the fed
eral grand jury. Government Gauger
Dewar, whom, it is alleged, Gibson
sought to bring into the plot, and sew
eral other persons were examined. 1t
is said that the government has evil
dence to show that the material for the
explosive compound was bought at Col
burn & Birk's drug store in Peoria, and
that the compound was made in the
laboratory of the trust at Peoria.
The government officials assert that
the trust has been using large amounts
of money to buy off witnesses before the
grand jury, and hint that some of the
witnesses, who have been examined,
will be prosecuted for perjury. This
afternoon William BURY, the attorney
for Gibson, entered the Office of United
States Marshal Hitchcock, and
gave that official a severe
tongue lashing for the alleged
high-handed arrests of witnesses. Mr..
Hitchcock says Burry's attack was with
out justification, and that the govern
ment simply took precautions that Ash
ford, the colored janitor for the trust at
Peoria, should be brought before the
grand jury without giving any one con-
nected with the defense a chance to
catch him. This was done with valu-
able results to the prosecution.
Ashford, it is said, testified to having
gone into the laboratory one night and
accidentally broken a bottle on shelf.
The contents ignited, and Ashford was
seriously burned in extinguishing the
flames. This testimony, and the evi-
dence that Gibson personally purchased
the phosphorus, is regarded by the gov
ernment officials as tending to fasten on
him the guilt of constructing the pecu-
liar internal machine, said to have been
designed to blow up the ANTITRUST dis
tillery.
