TO PAY A DEBT.
The Mystery of Gerke's
Death UnsolVed.
A Life Insurance Policy May Form a
Solution When the Investigation
Takes Place.

The mystery that surrounds the death
of II. L. R. Gerke, who was found dead in
a Mission-street lodging house on May 3,
still remains unsolved.
The Coroner's jury rendered verdict of
suicide. Near the dead body vial of
laudanum was found, and the man had
evidently been dead for several days.
There is only one combination of crcum-
stances that would seem to favor motive
for suicide. apd this theory if true would
be that Gerke killed himself to aid a friend
to the extent of $4,000 life insurance
payment.
Gerke's life was insured for $4,000 in
tho Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York. The policy was taken out Oh
March l, 1891.
So far as known. the only person likely
to know much in regard to Gerke's affairs
ls w. E. Foster, wealthy resident of
Honolulu. Foster has helped Gerke
through several financial pinches. and in
fact was paying him $50 per month at the
time OF his death. The insurance policy is
made payable to Foster
Gerke came here from Honolulu for his
health, AID 1t was Fosters money mat
paid his passage and supported him here.
The landlady OF The clearinghouse at
ll69 Mission street stated that Gerke did
not appear respondent and never ex-
pressed any forebodngs in regard to the
future.
lie must have been in debt 10 Foster for
large sum, and if it should prove true
that he has killed himself to pay the debt
with life insurance money it will no doubt
be the first case OF the kind on record.
The case will be investigated by the
agents of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
papv, and this investigation may develop
some new features OF prove the case to he
as SurmiSed.

took his breath away. 1t was check for
$4,000. made payable to the president OF
the soeir ty for the Us of the 81 eietv.
The check was signed JacoOZ. Davis. OF
the firm of Boyd & Davis, real-estate own
ers."
With the check was polite request that
the money be used for the best interests
of the society, and that nothing be said
about it.
Secretary Holbrook subsequently saw
MIR. Davis, and acknowledged the receipt
OF the generous gift, and after some talk
obtained Mr.. Davis consent to make the
matter public.
Mr.. Davis is one of the organizers OF the
society, and is president of the Society for
the prevention OF Cruelty to Animals. he
mas taken great interest in the RI. OF
Doth societies. and noticing that tie socie y
mat aids the children was restricted in us

only by the annual dues paid by members
ana occasional small contributions, he

IGNITION sent his check for the amount
named. Mr. Davis has the satisfaction of
knowing that his gift will in time do an
immense amount of good.

A Queer Performances.

Several years ago Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace of his
missing garment. A great number Of
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and a. every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re.
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along a corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him.
self of his only garment, seized q pitch
fork and buried the linen in q dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
to his bed. In the morning the baronet,
i~ncredulous at what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
cling for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas.

When Travelling Wa. Dangerous.

Hounslow heath, Finchley common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhood OF
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads OF
Epping forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes Of plumber
in broad daylight. These desperate rob.
bers at last became so dangerous, and
the peril of their attacks SO serious tc
travellers of all kinds, as well as to the
postmen, that the government passed a
law making highway robbery an offense
punishable by the death of the criminal
and the confiscation of all his property.
But robberies still occurred.
In 1888 mail coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys. The coaches carried passengers
also, and as these generally carried arms
the mails were better protected, but
still daring and oftentimes successful
attacks were made upon them.-St.
Nicholas.

everYbod ywished for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity of cake
of which many only ate a few crumbs.
The latest specimen has a thin layer
Of sugar, only just enough to look pretty
aud underneath are alternate layers OF
cake and almond paste. one as thick as
the other.
Ihe consequence is that no one is de
fl; .ded of their lawful share of almond
paste or ''love." as it is usually called,
and for purposes of distribution it is far
better, as the contents Of the box do not
crumble away nearly so much as they did
when the principal portion was cake
alone. If only some n would invent a
box which could not be rifed and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to DESIRE
