TIRED OF LIFE.
A Man of Family Blows His Brains
Out.

Leopold Eisner, formerly a prominent
merchant OF this city, who was engaged
in the dry goods business at the corner of
Military plaza and West Commerce street,
died yesterday morning early at his resi-
dence, No, PIP Villita street. from the eff
fects of pistol shot in his head, inflicted
by himself with suicidal intent.
The family, consisting of his wife, and his
children by former marriage, were at
breakfast Mr.. EtSner had not yet arisen
from bed. They heard two shots in the
bed room and ran to the door The Oldest
daughter, Rosie, aged Is years, saw her
father sitting upright in bed, then saw
him fall over, and second time the
pistol was discharged The first
Shot had made hole in the
right side of his head from which
he died in few seconds. The second shot
was harmless and must have been iGvol-
untary, as he clasped the pistol in his
death agony.
The deceased left a note to his wife
saying his life had not been sue
cess and he was about to kill
himself. His death would place his
family in better financial circumstances.
The note was written evidently just be-
before he committed the desperate deed.
Deceased was Hebrew by race, born
in Bohemia. He was 80 years of age. He

was believer in no religion. He
had lived in San Antonio for many years.
After his failure in the dry goods
business be owned the Arlington
saloon, then became commercial
traveller, then part owner of the Vienna
restaurant, and lately had been in no
business whatever. Once he was wealthy,
but squandered all he had at the gambling
tables, and it is believed he had played
heavily last Saturday night and lost all.
His family are, as he said, better off
now, financially, than before his
death, as he was Insured in several secret
societies to the amount of $4,000, 5000 of
which were devised to his three children
ard 5000 to his wife. These societies
were the Ancient Order United Work.

Perhaps, of all other seasons of the
wear, this is the best for making advan-
tageous purchases of Iewelry. There
isn't much fluCtuation in the value of
what jeweller sells, because jewellers
have nothing perishable. to dispose of
but there are times when, for a variey,
of reasons, prices fall off a little, and this
is more particularly the case when bust
ness generally is feeling the effects of
oppressively hot weather. You will
readily understand, therefore why just
now, we are offering some especially at
tractive inducements.

PLEASE EXCUSE

Us for preaching over the sam9 sermon so many times of late. We do not do 1t because we think the sermon good enough to warrant II, but because we are too everlasting busy to write new ones. All we can spare time to say nov IS that everything is booming at Hawleyvile. We are shipping furniture to all parts of the country. Orders and purchasers are coming in thicker and faster every day The star spanglea banner and the ,streamers floating over our building are supposed to inform the travelling public that we are on deck and ready for business, but if the rush continues much longer we fear we may feel compelled to hoist white flag and ask for ces- sation of hostilities for 30 days, until we can recuperate and prepare for fresh onslaught. In our basement, we have just put in machl nery for picking up hair. Send along your old mat tresses and have them made as good as new A first class upholsterer will do the work. ...E

 Funny, but we just happened to think Of it, that in all our advertising since we have start ed the furniture business at Hawleyville we have never quoted price on single article, and yet we have been having tremendous and unthought of sales. What tender hearted things people are, anyhow. Everybody said Baker was fool and he'd bust if he started the furniture business at Hawleyville, and so the balance of mankind from all over CnFlSL6uQom cOIno anu Uuy utS goods, pay his high pricas, go home satisfied and send all the neighbers next day, just because they love him 80 and want to boost him along in the world; beats all We have lots of people with hearts so tender they will melt early and often at low pr .ces, but when you can gather in class like ours that will melt at high prices yeu have got the salt of earth" right in your grip. We should probably die early of mertihca- ton and chagrin If our rush of custom had been caused by advertising goods as some do at half price or less than cost, and We know the people come simply to gre. dily snatch cur hard earn- ed dollars at half value. Our customers are the best customers in the world. We love them and they love us. Dollars has tothlng 10 do with 1t. We just sold (only about an hour ago. promine nt Waterbury man fine book case.

A Statement From Her Physician as to
the True Condition of the Presidents
Wife.
WASHINGTON. May 22.-In view of
the many conflicting and in some in
stance alarming. reports which have
recently appeared in the public press
concerning the condition of Mrs. Har-
rison's health. DIR. F. A. Gardner. her
physician. has made the following
statement of the facts in the case:
Mrs Harrison is suffering from COM
plete nervous exhaustion. the indirect
result of three years of attention to the
severe and exacting social duties of the
White House. Late in February of this
year Mrs Harrison had an attack of
the grip. 1t was particularly severe
and tenacious, and from II developed
bronchitis While in this condition she
caught cold, and this brought on bron-
chial pneumonia Other severe and
trying complications followed. Low
malarial fever set in, and it was sew
eral days before the weakening and
wasting force could be broken, and
hardly had she begun to mend before an
attack of rheumatism added its ex-
hausting and enervating influence to
what had proceeded it. Mrs Harri-
sons strength had been seriously over
taxed by her conscientious attention to
the constitution-breaking duties which
were incumbent upon the wife of the
president, and the result of it all is COM
plete nervous prostration- While her
condition is not in any sense alarming,
it will be many weeks before she has
fully recovered She now needs per-
feet quiet and rest, and with these she
will gradually regain her strength and
ultimately her usual good health"
