IDENTIFYING THE SUICIDE


A Letter Addressed to George Ritenour on
the Body Found Hanging In Barn.
Coroner Mcdowell yesterday had the
body of the suicide found hanging in barn
at Miller's Grove cut down and brought to
the morgue in this city. The only elew TO
the identity of the deceased found on his
body was badly written German letter ad-
dressed to George Ritenour by his sister,
who is evidently in Germany or Poland,
and in need of money.
The body was found hanging in John
Walkers barn, near Miller's crossing, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Thurs
day afternoon, and the Coroner was notified
at once, but when the undertaken went out
for it yesterday it had not been cut down.
A witness was found who had seen the
deceased walking about the village last
Monday but no one could be found who
knew him. The suicide probably occurred
Monday night, judging from the condition
of the body
An effort is being made to identify tho
remains before an inquest is held. The de-
ceased was about 35 years of age, feet 9
inches tall. weighed 165 pounds, had dark
complexion, short brown hair and sandy
mustache. His clothing was of good quail
ity and consisted in part of blue cutaway
coat, brown pants and dark stiff hat.

THE EAST END.

Decorations Were Many and Handsome in
Honor of the Discoverer The Outward
Routes Were Lined With Bunting -
Everything Quiet in That District.
In the decorating of the city the residents
of the East End and the various routes
thereto did themselves much credit Out
Penn avenue, from one end to the other,
foated the Stars and Stripes from every
available place. There could be no question
of the impulse or enthusiasm which
prompted the display, ior neither labor nor
expense was spared.
The street looked like vacant space be-
tween two gigantic and interminable walls
OF color. From roof to ground in every in
draped with bunting, and even in the ex-
treme end of the city we're the decorations
elaborate and complete. Every school
house on the way out was studded on every
side with flags and banners.
During the forenoon and greater portion
of the afternoon the East End streets were
entirely deserted. 1t was not until o'clock,
when the crow d began to return from down.
town, that lie in that locality began to as
sumo its normal aspect. Everybody had
been to see the great parade. There were
no accidents of any sort reported at the
Fourteenth, Nineteenth or Seventeenth
ward station houses, nor at No. 8 on Penn
avenue. In fact but single case of drunk
eness had been reported for the "a hours
previous
Along Forbes street and through Oak
land bunting waved in every direction.
All the political club headquarters along
the line were practically speaking couched
in banners and the national colors. Those
banners bore every imaginable character of
inscription, but were interspersed, for all
that, with interesting compliments to the
great discoverer.
The Forbes schoolhouse was daintily
garbed in the most artistic fashion arc
drew immense praise from the many spec
tators who went there. When traffic was
resumed on the street railway lines in the
afternoon the cars were crowded success
sively until late last evening.

THE ELOQUENT COLONEL.

W. d. Moore Commends the Faith of Co
Iumbus and the Bible to the People
He Bewails the Ingratitude of the Span
iards to the Explorer.
Mayor Gourley and MI. Bnrleigh had con-
siderable fun at the expense of Colonel w.
D. Moore, The audience laughed at the
good-natured chatting, evidently knowing
the eloquent Colonel would get even when
his turn came to speak. The Mayor re-
marked that he didn't want to make long
speech, for Colonel Moore was pres
ent, and he had been preparing
himself for several days He was afraid
the Colonel would weary the people. Mr.
Burleigh took exception to the latter state
ment When the Colonel was called on, he
said he respected his audience enough to
prepare something for them. He was not
like the Mayor and Mr.. Burleigh who pre-
tended their speeches were eStempore. He,
hoped his wheat would not he Of their
brand. In his speech Colonel Moore said:
"Only ages of iaith have been the ages of
heroic endeavor and heroic achievements.
and only ages of unbelief and ages of de-
struction, negation and death. In far
off India, many years ago, in the
heart of the Himalayas, man
was born who lived, taught and died
lived because he believed in the power of
God, belief which is embraced to-day by
one third of the human race. In other part
of tine world a s.cond man lived who
thought less of God, but was devoted to his
duty to make men better I refer to
Buddha and Confucius. Their teachings
are second only to the Bible. Then Jesus
was born in town whose name was by
word among the people," But what has
faith in these teachers ACCOMPLISHED? We
are the inheritors tonight OF Christian be-
levers, and this man whose day we celebrate,
was a man who exemplifed what I have
been trying to say. Some seaweeds, some
ocean currents and few other things made
Columbus believe there was another con-
tinent on the earth. His faith was his pilot
no mutiny or storm of the night could turn
him back from his dangerous voyage.
What was his reward? The same
which in the mysterious provi-
dence of God has been given
to them all. He returned to the
land to whom he had given a new world in
chains. When Boabdil wanted to take
them of, he said, No, let the man order
them to be removed who put them on
While seeking redress he wrote that he had
barely enough money to pay for his daily
bread. Be reformer or a Savior, be an
Abraham Lincoln, if you want to feel the
ingratitude of this world, but these men
triumph in the end. This is the lesson
that the life Of Columbus teaches to me-"

CHRISTOPHER HAD HIS FAULTS,
Mr.. Trent Says Columbus Thirsted for Gold

Mr.. Trent Says Columbus Thirsted for Gold
and Enslaved the Natives.
s. U. Trent, the young attorney, was the
next speaker He said: "You have heard
considerable about Columbus What I
have to say will be about his life and the
results of his discovery. He alone of all
men has the honor of finding new land.
Considering the age in which he lived, the
opposition to his theory, the lack of funds
and the unknown dangers ahead of him, you
will readily place him il the galaxy of the
worlds heroes tor his achievements.
The orthodoxy of his time insisted that
the world was fiat. Just before the time of
Columbus two men had the nerve to declare
that the earth was round. One of them,
Peter of Urbana, escaped torture by natu-
raj death, and the other was burned at the
stake for his proclamation. For a long
time Columbus sought aid from city to city
and from government to government to YER
ify the correctness of his views of
the rotundity of the earth. In bis
day the sea was regarded as an unknown
waste of water Inhabited by terrible mon
sters Helped by a woman he sailed away
with his men into this unknown sea De-
spite the threats and fears of his crew, the
great admiral kept his face to the west.
The intrepid and courageous mariner had
unbounded faith.
columbus is one of the benefac-
tors Of men. Like all great men,
he had some weaknesses. He was
vacillating in governing and had
thirst for gold. But his fortitude when
shackled almost makes US forgive these fail
inga He tarnished his fame when he en-
shaved the people whose hospitality he
accepted. There is a strange blending of
good and i'll in his lite, yet it is not differ
ent from the blendings in the Spanish
character at the time. In Spain's history
we read the story of its cruelty and neglect
to the discoverer Of America. Spain, thirst
ing for gold, planted the hideous curse Of
slavery in our country, and then the time
came when only the sacrifice of 100000
men could wipe out the sin of the Spaniard
in the States. Thus it was that our land
was redeemed and the Constitution in all its
bencicence was established"

A COMPOSITE NATION.
Judge Burlington Welcomes the Foreigners
but Only as Adopted Citizens.

Judge Burlington Welcomes the Foreigners,
but Only as Adopted Citizens.
The people were curious to know what the
youthful Judge Burlington would have to
say. The Judge was rather far down on the
programme, but he made very timely
speech that was wildly applauded and
cheered by the audience. It would be we'll
to have his address repeated every now and
then. Here is what the Judge said:
"Four hundred years ago when Colum-
bus discovered America, he had hardly re-
turned home until great struggle arose
between the foreign nations for its possess
sion. But God never intended that this
country should he the home of one people.
He designed that it should be the home OF all
nations. None who saw the different peo-
pie. marching to-day under one flag could
overlook the fact that it is a mixed nation.
The blood of at least three or four nation
alities is represented to-day in the most of
US believe it was intended that we we're
to be a composite nation. Let US give a
welcome to those who come to us, but let it
be understood that when they arrive they
drop all ideas of their own government and
adopt ours. Let it not be America for
Americans, but America for Ameri-
can ideas. [Applause. We don't
want an Italy, a Germany or an
ireland here. II foreign people cannot ac-
cept our country as they find it, they ought
to remain at nome. Let us gather all the na-
tions of the world unto ourselves and unite
the people with the bonds Of liberty. Zap

THE DAY AND THE MAN.

Rev. Father Murphy Pays Classical Trib-
ute to the Italian Navigator-He Looks
for an Epic Poet to Write the Story OF
the Discovery.
Rev. John I. Murphy justified all the
kind things said about him by District
Attorney Burleigh; who introduced
him as one of the most intelligent
and eloquent of Catholic educators
in Western Pennsylvania Mr.. Murphy
took for his subject 1.-THE Day and the
Man." 1t was classical tribute to the
memory of Columbus. and at the conclusion
of his speech he was called out second
followed, Only detached sentences of what
Father Murphy said are here given:
There have been in the course of ages
many epoch making days. Those have
been the days when great men changed the
tide of warfare and wrote o new history.
Not since the birth of Christ has there been
day more eventful than the one we cele-
brate to-day. That day witnessed the triumph
of genius that cast aside traditions and
realized q project that was born and directed
in faith. We are looking on that day from
position of four centuries. We can con-
template the precious seed of discovery
plaHtcu Wy tnc ScHiuS anu "oteIcu Nv Iue
sufferings of Columbus. We can see the
fruit rescued from foreign domination by
the revolutionary patriots. To-day it is
united in spite of the Civil War. Like an
oak the United States stands, spreading its
branches over the earth. The deeds and the
character OF Columbus are the precious In.
heritance of this continent. The epic poet
of Rome recalled with pride the foundation
of the city by the son of Anchises, but the
epic poet of the future in America will have
for his subject an historical hero
more important than the Roman
myth. He will have q hero whose
heroisn carried out his project, whose
arose above the plateau of mere
external form and became heroic virtue.
LIE: us hope that our epic poet will be por-
traying the splendor of majestic temple.
We are to-day giving alteration to the man
who discovered America. We are filled
with admiration for the coIonists who
traced the structure of the government
We are filling in our part of the great build
ing that has been designed" Great ap-
Dlause

A SHIELD OF ELECTRIC LIGHT

The Pretty Design That Was Shown on the
Court House Tower. ..
One Of the most beautiful and artistic
decorations was displayed on the tower of
the Court House last night It was shield
composed of incandescent electric lights
with q red. white ana blue background.
Across the top worked in electric lights was
the word America" Around the edges of
the shield was row of lights. while the
three bars were composed of incandescent
lamps
Great crowds of people went past the
Court House to see the sight. The arrange
ment was artistic and the colors showed off
to good advantage. The breeze would
catch the background Of bunting and
gently wave it to and fro, the lights would
brighten and grow dim in turn, making the
effect beautiful Many of the people
who viewed the design thought the county
could afford to keep ID up all the time.

Italians of the Two Cities Hold a Social
Entertainment at the Auditorium.
One of the most select and enjoyable
Italian entertainments ever held in this
section was that of the united societies and
the colony of the two cities at the Audi
torium last night. Rocerto and Guenther
furnished the music. Patriotic speeches in
honor of Columbus and the United States
we're an interesting feature OF the evening,
but most of the time was devoted to dane
ing.
Aside from the celebration of Columbus
Day the entertainment was intended to
raise funds for the monument to Columbus
which has been allotted o space in Schenley
Park. All the expense of the entertain
ment was raised by subscription, and the
proceeds will be clear. There was large
attendance and handsome sum was netted.

columbus was the offspring of his time,"
he began, tyet think he would have dis
tinguished himself in any age. He had
superior mind. He exhibited an early in
clination for the sea- He studied naviga-
tion intensely. He made his first voyage
with an uncle who had attained some dis
tinction. Geographical discovery distin-
guishes the fifteenth century. Genoa
and Venice contended for the supremacy
of the Mediterranean. Italy became
famous for her navigators But We must
not overlook Americus Vespucci-after
whom this country was named. It was
privilege to live in time with men like
Raphael, Michael Angelo and other great
men. Columbus thought by sailing west
that Asia would be reached. IT the Italians
are proud of Columbus we are certainly
excusable The results of his discovery are
unbounded. The whole world shares in

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 81. Il Specia'. ]
In all the Columbus Day exercises held
throughout the country, st. Augustine
probably furnished the most novel feature.
At the opening of the school ceremonies
Prof. Kuibloe read the following prayer,
said to be the original words offered up by
Columbus when he landed on the Island o.
San Salvador, and the prayer the Spanish
Kings ordered to be used by Balboa, Cortez,
and Pizarro, when making new discoveries
1t is said to be the first translation ever
known to the American tongue, and was
sent from the old cathedral at Seville,
Spain, by Miss A. NJ. Brooks:
Lord God eternal and omnipotent, by the
sacred word Thou hast created heavens and
earth and sea. Thy name be blessed and
glOrified. May Thy name be praised, known
and proclaimed in this other part of the
world.

She Is Relieved of Money and Diamonds
While in Chicago.
A dispatch from Chicago last night said:
Mrs James NJ. Guffey, wife of the wealthy
oil and gas operator of Pittsburg, was
robbed to-day of s14O in money and dia-
monds valued at 81 ,0O0
Mr. Guffey and his wife we're stopping at
the Hotel Victoria, and during their
absence at the Worlds Fair grounds the
thieves entered their room and took the
jewels and money from the dressing case.
There is no clew to the robbers
