The Mystery of the Suicide in a Toledo Hotel
Being Unraveled

TOLEDO, March 9.-The mystery of the sui
eide at the BoodY House is slowly being un-
raveled. This evening the body was identified
by Mr.. Gashe, lumber merchant. as tina. of a
young man living in Detroit to whom he was
introduced week ago by Mr.. Lodge, Detroit
lawyer.
Lodge told Gashe the man was an opium
eater and that a short time ago he had, while
under the influence of the drug, come into his
(Lodge's) office in Detroit declaring thar he
would murder some one and then kill himself
Lodge quieted him. gave him some money and
let him 20. The fact that the suicide had
large quantity of opium is thus explained, as

he made the call and threatened to commit
murder. MI. Gashe does not remember his

OUR GREAT DOG SHOW.

All the Champion CANNES Arrive to Take
Part in the Exhibition Which Com
mences To-Day-Sir Bedivere Attracts
Great tAttention-Some Interesting Con-
tests Expected.
The great dog show will open this morning at
the Grand Central Rink, and Plttsburgers will
have an opportunity of seeing a better collec-
Jion of dogs than have ever been seen in this
city before. The interior of the rink has been
fixed up in drst-rate style. Champion CANNES
of all kinds were constantly arriving all day
yesterday. and when the show opens to-day
there will be about 600 dogs in the rink
Scores of dogs were located IN their tempor-
ary kennels at the rink yesterday. Crowds of
interested spectators were rushing to and fro
all day to catch glimpses of the canine beauties
and beauties some of them were, indeed. OF
course. everybody was wanting to see the great
Sir Bedivere, but his owner, Mr.. Sears kept
the valuable and urbeaten champion St
rink to-day. and it is safe to say that the costly
importation will be the cynosure of all eyes.
Much has been written about this great dog
but it will probably be of interest to give a
little of his pedigree and explain how Mr..
Sears secured him.
Sir Bedivere is years old, and is a superb
dog His picture cannot give any idea of his
looks except possibly as TO size. He stands
about "a inches high and weighs 220 pounds
In color he is orange, with perfect white mark
ings and dense black shadings He is gentle
degree with the characteristic intelligence of
the St. Bernard. His pedigree shows blue
blood extending through several generations of
canine ancestry:

Sir Bedivere's career upon the bench has
been an endless round of triumphs. He has
never been beaten failed to win the first
prize wherever exhibited. On his first appear
ance as puppy the sum of SIS 600 was offered
for him and refused. An additional 81, 500 was
finally offered, and when that failed to win the
prize. the same gentleman was willing to give
$4,000 check for the pup. But even this
proved Intellectual. Mr.. Sears did not win the
prize until good deal of diplomacy and larger
amount of money had been utilized.
But while Sir Bedivere is in some respects
extraordinary. there are other great dogs here
that are unexcelled in their respective classes
Mr.. Moore. the famous breeder, is here from
Melrose with his splendid collection of st. Ber-
nards. He has six magnificent st. Bernards
including the famous Alton, son of PlinlIm-
mon.
Jack the Ripper, the celebrated English
bloodhound. also arrived yesterday. He is
wonderful animal and was one of the dogs en-.
Gus Whitechapel Jack the Ripper. A number
of famous great Danes were among the ar
rivals including Melac, owned by HeTt q.
Nicholas, the Chicago millionaire The Kill
larney kennels of Irish settlers were also on
hand. The champion, Dick Swiveler, attracted
great deal of attention. Mr. Washington's
Irish settlers will be on hand this morning ana
there will be quite an argument for first honors
between the Chicago kennels and Mr. Washing
Graphic, the two old rival pointers are here
and they will certainly attract considerable at
tention. In short, almost all the dogs OF fame
in the country are on hand.
Prof. Parker and his trick dogs will entertain
the audience each afternoon and evening. The
show will last four days and is sure to be
memorable local event.

would be more satisfactory, however,

would be more satisfactory, however,
if the good side of the question could
be fairly presented. The silver men
charge that it was dishonest to demOne-
tie silver and deprive the debtor OF
the right to pay in either gold or silver,
according to contract. They deny
that there is gold enough for use as
money. They assert that the gold
standard means contraction, failing
prices, StagnatiOn in business and hard
times.
"They assert that the value of money
is governed by the law of supply and
demand, and that nothing has intrinsic
value, and that gold is no exception.
They assert that whatever substitutes
for money and credit devices may be
invented that some proportion must
exist between the aggregate Of such
substitutes and devices and the volume
of standard money, and that the gold
coin in the commercial world is INSULT
cient to sustain the fabric Of credit
which now exists.
"'They deny that the business of the
commercial world is on a gold basis,
but has expanded on credit, sustained
by the erroneous belief that there was
gold coin enough for immediate re-
demptiOn. So long as such erroneous
belief existed, confidence was main
tanned and credit and business ex-
banded. Recent events have disclosed
the fact that the gold reserves Of the
commercial world T inadequate, con
tidenCe is shaken, new enterprises can
not be undertaken, established business
is being curtailed.
The genius Of each business man is
employed, not in production, but in
schemes to save himself from bank
ruptcy. The remedy proposed by the
silver men is the restoration of silver
to the place it occupied as money be
fore it was excluded from the mints of
the civilized world. The proof that
there is gold enough, II that there is a
better remedy for the lack of gold than
the dcmOnctization of silver exists,
would furnish some reason against the
restoration Of silver. Prove that there
is gold enough, and the discussion
ends"
