INCINERATING A SUICIDE.
A WEIRD SCENE ON THE LAKE SHORE
NEAR CHICAGO.
Morris Allen Collins, President of the
Dallas Suicide Club, Cremated on an
Open Funeral Pyre by the Chi
cago Whitechapel Club.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July ia strange,
weirdly dramatic scene was enacted
last night on the south shore of Lake
Michigan. AT the base OF a great
ridge of glistening white sand near
the waters edge was lighted a funeral
pyre, and all that was mortal of Nor
ris Allen Collins, president of the
Dallas, Tex, Suicide club, was
by his own written request reduced
to ashes. The Whitechapel club of
this city had charge of the ceremony.
A torch was applied to the pile of
pitch-soaked wood at 1850 and during
the hours that the body burned inn
pressive ceremonies were performed,
consisting of music, recitation and
addresses. Collins committed suicide
July 8 by shooting himself through
the head in his room on West Madison
street. He was 40 years old, son of
Rev. Sam Collins, Methodist minis
ter who settled in Texas early in the
forties and left an orphan early, he
seemed to have constant struggle
with poverty. He came to Chicago
practically penniless in 1886 and
afterwards became writer for the
Labor Enquirer, owned by Jos.
R. Buchanan. On the register of the
White Chapel club his signature ap-
pears: "W. A. Collins, president Sui
eide Club, Dallas, Tex" Collins was
seriously injured in 1889 by being
knocked down by an engine on the
Northwestern road, and the injury
probably affected his mind. 1t was
followed by mild epileptic attack,
which afterward required with in
creasing intensity and frequency I'M
til he became respondent and finally
ended his life. 1t is said he made two
unsuccessful attempts to accomplish
his purpose with morphine before and
at last suicided with pistol. He left
a letter to his closest friend, Hon.
Joseph Jackson, directing that his
body be turned over the Whitechapel
club for incineration. The scene of
cremation was by far the most DESC
late spot that could be found in the
vicinity Of Chicago. The building of
the funeral pyre occupied eight mems
time during the greater part of the
day. When completed it stood
IS feet long, 8 feet wide, and
20 feet high. In addition to
the members of the Whitechapel
club considerable number of friends
from the city were present at the cere-
monies, besides half hundred COM
try people attrated by curiosity The
body of Collins was draped in white
roses taken from the casket and
placed on top of the piles. The White
chapelers lighted their torches and
marched three times around the pile
singing dirge. The fire started,
Club Chaplain w. Il. Thompson de-
livered characteristic address, fol-
lowed by other addresses by members.
Mournfully aharp and either played
sad notes, all eulogy and funeral SER
mon were delivered by Dwight Bald
win, and at last came the ceremony of
gathering the ashes. With trowels
made and plated for the occasion the
few charred remains of the body were
reverently placed in temporary urn.
Bearing this the company returned to
the city long after sunrise this MORN
ing.

are Arpsting Miners.
Special to The Statesman.
WALLACE, Idaho, July 1.-THE
Western part of Wallace at the mouth
of Placer creek is now a tented field.
Eight companies of troops arrived
from Fort Keogh, Montana, today
and will be distributed in various
positions in the mining districts. The
entire command here was suddenly
called to arms at IL o'clock
today to search the neighboring
hills in hope of capturing
miners who have been hiding. Six
were arrested. 1t is proba BILE the entire
body of miners under arrest will be
tried in the United States district
court for contempt, though some pris-
oners will have to answer to charge
of murder. A detachment of troops
went to Murray today and brought
Frank Reed, the murderer of r. w.
Stevens, to Wallace for safe keeping
as threats of lynching were heard on
all sides and a we'll organized mob
had planned to attack the jail tonight

with view of better home making?
And not to larger fortunes. Professor
Russell if we understood him held to
this view. Professor Coleman follow
ed with an extemporaneous talk, and
the Misses Bowers sang with voices
showing rare training, "When shall
we meet again." and the ceremonies
of the second reunion of Leander's old
settlers went into the history OF the
past,

Will Make the Sacrifice.

NEW YORK, July 18.-It is practi-
cally assured that Secretary of State
VIM. F. Harrity of Pennsylvania will
on Wednesday be unanimously elected
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. Although Harrity has
formally announced that he will not
accept, ex-Secretary Whitney and
others of Harrity's friends here have
fully justified the feeling that he will
yield to the pressure that has been
brought to bear on him and it may be
considered settled that he will be
chairman.

ADDRESSES OF WELCOME.

The first by Mr.. Earl Faubion ana
the second by Miss Ella Mason. Ihese
We're we'll delivered and went direct
to the hearts of the old folks. Inc re-
Spouse was made by Hon. Jas Bao,
cock of Burnet. From this we learned
that the first settlement made near
the present site of Leander was IN
1S47 by Tommy Hornsby. Subsequent
additions to this settlement OF one
family followed on frontier menaced
by dangers and deprivations that
none would now care to accept as a
condition of a settlement of themselves
and family, and yet, without THESE
hazardous surroundings no one
of that vast assemblage coulu
have ever enjoyed the happy scenes
now meeting themon every turn

Of the FArRcHILp-GRAcE anti-Democrn-
cy. finally, either by threats or argu-
ments to which hc concluded 10 submit,
for tho sake OF peace and iiddancc OF his
factional prosecutors, he was driven to yield
up declaration In favor OF CLEVELAND.
and to fall back openly into his camp.
So tho CLEVELAND men have carried
on their third-term campaign with the
samo vindictiveness In private toward
tho loyal New York Democrats who would
not willingly join their bolt, that they have
shown publicly to the Democratic leaders
who have looked TO party trianiDh instead
OF to Mugwump vindication.
But imagine Mugwump thinking that
HILL could have carried Now York last De-
cembcr! A Democratic politician in Elmira
lately replied to an inquiry from California.
rs we learn from the San Fraacisc0 Chron-
iclc. that HILL could carry New York next
November by 10000.
The sun., 1892-05-11

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir, In an
| interview the Hon. Rice Pierce. the Congress-
man from this district. says he finds n stron:
Cleveland sentiment in this district especially
In the cities and towns: but II the New York
delegation could convince tho delog atoms from
the Other States that Cleveland could not carry
New York. Cleveland would not secure tho
nomination. and that he had heard n great
deal said in favor Of the nomination Of Cor
man. Mr.. Pierce ignores Hill. although tho
truth is that no man In the nation is al
tracing. and has attracted. so much atten-
tion In this State us David B. Hill.
1t Is truc that good many people In this sec.
tioa Ike Cleveland because he was tho first
Democratic President this country has had
during tho last thirty years. but AL his claim
to strength and popularity Is based on that
one fact There are thousands OF intelligent.
enthusiastic Democrats In Tennessee who at
tribute defeat In tho last national election to
Cleyeland's reckless methods and utterances.
His tarln message precipitnted contest for
which tho party was not prepared.
A distinguished gentleman. who was a red
hot Cleveland man once. remarked to mo a
few days ago: David Il. Hill is remarkable
for one fact. and this fact hns forced
me to recognize hin as thsAtest man in the
men. practical Democrats. who are not In love
w.m myt sns rs mot s%sn h wh the
will and cnn lead them, to vietOry-and they
feel that Hill can do that He has met the
handed and alone. anc tho enemy has always
been forced to bite the dust, The Democrats
contrary Notwithstanding, arc intelllgent
this year. They recognize Hill as one OF the
men oi the times. Thousands Of good Demo-
