Shortly before noon yesterday the
report was circulated that Hon. James

had committed suicide at his boarding
house, No. 1922 Washington avenue.
Later reports confirmed the rumor.
Judge Normile returned to his board
ang-house at 10 a. m. after a short visit
20 the business portion of the city. On
entering the house he requested the
landlady to come to his room in an
hour, stating that he felt unwell and
might be seriously i'll at that hour.
Ihe judge retired to his room.

Another letter, addressed to his real

taken in the proceedings, and Judge
Normile was subjected to a severe
examination as to his antecedents,

Senator Carlisle Oh the Coinage Oues
fion.

fIOns
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-Senator .Jof n
G. Carlisle has addressed letter to
John A. Lyme, of Hendricks, Ky, mas
ing clear his position on the silvrr
coinage question. He says he is op-
posed to free coinSge of either gold or
silver, but in favor Of unlimited coin
age of both metlis upon terms Of
equality. No discrimination should he
made in favor of one metal and against
the other; nor should any discrimina-
ton be made in favor of the holders
of either gold or silver bullion
and against the great body of the peo-
pie who own other kinds of property.
Gold and silver bullion should be
treated exactly alike in the mints of
the United States--that is. that dol
lars worth of gold should be coined
into gold dollar and dollars worth
Of silver should be coin ed into a silver
dollar, and if no charge is made for
coming the one then no charge should
be made for coming the other.
Continuing, the senator says that in
his opinion the declaration made upon
the subject of the coinage of silver by
the democratic party at its recent ma
tional convention is perfectly sound in
principle, and enunciates the only true
public policy

Have You a Cold ?

Perhaps you think because you do not
cough, on that account you are not af-
flicted with a cold. A cold does not always
settle on the lungs or in the throat. A
cold caught in summer frequently does not.
1t settles upon the kidneys and produces
pneumonia or rheumatism besides good
many other things, and is fully as danger
Gus there as it is when it fastens upon the
lungs. When you catch cold get bottle
of REID'S GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE and take it freely. If
your cold is obstinate and you feel out Of
sorts and feverish, take it in small doses
frequently every fifteen minutes, and it
will certainly cure you. This is the sea-
son of the year when catarrhal complaints
prevail. People suffer greatly from asthma
this month and from hay fever. If they
will take REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE they will be cured.
1t will give them relief at once, but as
these are obstinate maladies, persons thus
afflicted must persist in taking the reme-
DIV. The result is in all cases beneficial.
Ask your druggist for it and do not take
anything else.

bonfid to leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any reason
for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
bank was obliged to get along as best
it could without him.
Ten days later the cashier was
astonished OH entering the bank to
find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned,
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
let their strange-acting employe keep
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went into the presidents Office again
and rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted, and the man was absent for
n week or more. Then he suddenly re-
turned.
The same thing was repeated again
and again. Now it is standing joke
in that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It is his way of taking a
vacation. He never stays away more
than two weeks.-N. y. Commercial.
