4 SUICIDE CLUE.
How j. BARLOW Moorhehd Kept His

Stran~e Obligation.
A y W York dispatch says J. Barlow
Moorhcad, Il young man, reputed to be
worth half a million dollars. and recently
a kceley cure patient. committed suicide
by shooting himself through the heart
at the clearinghouse, No. JG west Thir-
ty-iiith street.
He shot himself early in the morning,
but the suicide was not discovered until
Garland Gaden. an actor. called TO see
MOOrhead in the afternoon. AlOOrhead
was 10 star Gadcn in "a play called
young American" Of which he was
the manager and financial hacker. The
play was 10 have been produced at Phil
adelphia on November It'll.
In letter "a the coroner No0rhead
declared that he had committed suicide,
according to the club, and requested the
official to see that jury find YER
dict in accordance with the fact ex-
pressed.
Actor Gaden said that he did not
know that MoOrhcad belonged to a sui
eide club, and thought that the young
man had taken his life because he began
to drink again
Mfoorhead left will, in which it is
said that he remembered Gaden roy
ally. In return for the loan of SO from
Actor LannOn. Of the BLACK Crook
company. NDDIuNdu lfll uliu Two Nid-
mond riugs worth $1,000. On Saturday
night he gave Cabman No. 1871 a
check for 500 for "A ride
The coroner began probing into the
matter and learned that NestOr Lennon,
an actor. could probably explain the Gu
rious epistle he had received. Lennon
was summoned, and told the coroner that
there was Il suicide club in this city.
Moorhead, he said. was member, and
he also belonged TO il. lie said that was
the reason MoOrhead shot himself and
added that the dead man was compelled
10 do il.
In speaking of the workings of the
club, Lennon said Each member on
joining is compelled 10 fix the date at
which they are TO take their own life.
Moorhead's hour had arrived. BY spe-
cial rule of the club he was offered a
ten-year parole but he refused TO ac-
cept it,being determined TO keep his agree
ment.
Mr. Lennon refused to tell more of
the suicide club, or the circumstances
under which Mr.. AioOrhead had joined.
The coroner will thoroughly inyesti-
gate the ease.
Moorhead was a native of Philadel-
phia, and was possessed of n fortune
estimated at several hundred thousand
dollars. He devoted n good deal of time
and money in taking theatrical troupes
on the road.
He was Of hopeful disposition. and
his friend knew of no reason for his
kelf-destruction. They are inclined TO
believe in his membership in the suicide
club.

Gold Contracts.
BY EARNfTR JOHS.

W hat is the matter with gold contracts,
any way? The more civilized any peO-
pie may be and the more extensive and
varied their traffic the more indispensa-
bic will credit be. Then. there must be
borrowers and lenders, debtors and credi-
tors, and there will inevitably be gold
contracts, which will in many cases be
even eagerly sought and embraced by
borrowers. Without such contracts they
could not possibly obtain the loans which
they desire. and il is often a great ac-
commodation for the lender to let them
have his money at all.
4 purely cash system alone could pre-
vent gold contracts. But if there were
any deprecated money in use the seller
would be sure 10 adapt his prices 10 the
sort of money which he was 10 receive
as cash, and thus even these cash trans
actions would he virtually reduced TO a
gold basis. If by any means silver should
become the premium metal a silver
basis would be substituted for a gold
one. The media used as money have
fluctuated in value. do fluctuate and most
probably will continue 10 do so. If all
such media could be brought 30 an equali-
ty in value and kept there with any per-
manency there would be no need Of gold
contracts. But so long as there is or is
likely to be any difference in the value
of the articles used as money all time
transactions will have to be upon a gold
basis, and the longer the time that they
have TO run before their maturity the
more certainly will gold contracts have
to be entered into. Why, then, are they
not fair and reasonable? If so, why
should they be denounced and repudia-
ton of them by legislation of doubtful
constitutionality be invoked, in view Of
the very fluctuations in the value of
money against which they were intended
to provide?

that the white sand bottom can be plainly
seen when the sun is shining. | saw the
bottom distinctly and noted a few things
that had fallen in it. The walls Of the
well are of red brick. covered with moss,
and over the well, dangling from the end
of the well sweep hung a bucket that
might have done for the model of the
old Oaken Bucket Of poetic fame.
Colonel Dcyer told me that the well was
on the plantation when he bought it in
1868. and he understood that the well
was originally dug in 1900.
The well has been cleaned every year,
and the time for cleaning the well is at
hand now. but Colonel Dcyer says: IF
that we'll is cleaned | will have TO DO il
myself. There is not servant on the
plGr tation that will go near that well
alone and as 10 going in it 10 money
would induce them to make the ven

During that afternoon a great many

something very peculiar about some OF
these visions. / had noticed, for in

a piece Of window glass and covering it

o'clock in the morning and tried it and
with the same result.

without the knowledge of Colonel Deyer

Spouse to my asking to be shown the

together with his wife we proceeded 10
the well, which was situated about sl1ty
fCet from the house and oil to one SIDE.
A cOlOred nun servant who stood near
looked in the we'll with US, and as Miss
Deyer held the mirror he exclaimed:
"Foah Gawd, dere's bottle"
"What kind of bottle! ] asked.
"a gIeen bottle Wild SLIDER Oh de top

FICTION BrATEN.
The sorcerer who summons up Spirits
from the Vastly deep" in fiction IL dis
counted in this instance 10y a young Nir-
ginia beauty. who brought up flowers,
Jewels. bottles, collins, visions of Old
ladies and young ones, venerable men
and emcoth faced boys hands with the
blood dripping from their wounds, bodies
of dead men and women, and other queer
sights that few pcIhaps will believe can
be seen in that well unless, as l dld, they
see them for themselves
But Miss Deyer is not the only one who
causes faces and other things TO appear
on the surface Of the water. Others do
it as well as she. That proves that 1t
is not the girl who is haunted.
1t = curious fact that the faces and
objects that appear in the well can only
be seen in the daylight, and the brighter
the sun is shining the more distinct they
become. In all the haunted houses |
remember utter darkness was essential
before the ghosts would condescend 10
roam around and clank chains and do
other blood curding things.
Colonel Deyer'S we'll is just an ordinary
well. such as YOU find on almost every
farm in Virginia, similar in appearance
to fifty-one other wells on the planta-
ton. The other wells. however will not
reveal a face l tried them all, and so
