SIGNS OF A SUICIDE.
Young Man Out of Work Disap-
pears Near Ballard.
a NOTE SAYING he WOULD DIE.
He .Rowed to Meadow Point and His
Boat Was Found Thers-rhorough
Search to BE Made Today.

The sudden disappearance OF q young
man who left behind the name of Carol
Dean signed to note in which he said he
had committed suicide, has created con-
siderable excitement at Ballard. although
as far rs learned the man was a stranger
in the place.
On Thursday at 1 o'clock young man
rented a boat from Charles Lakes boat
house at Ballard. went rowing, and did
not come back, although the boat, with q
note lying in it, was found yesterday.
Charles lake was absent and Mrs. T. W.
Lake. wife Of ex-Mayor T. W.lLake. rented
the boat. Mrs. Lake says he inquired the
price of q boat and selected light one and
threw a small parcel into the bottom of il.
Mrs. Lake thus describes his personal ap-
pearance: He was Is or 10 years old, about
5 feet inches tall, had slender figure
and weighed about i45 pounds; his hair
was light and his face was without
mustache or beard. He was dressed in
light-colored clothes, the pantaloons being
a shade lighter than his coat.
Yesterday ABOUT 8 o'clock Lars Nelson,
Of the firm of Nelson Bros, fishermen,
found the boat tied 10 a root on the beach
at Meadow point, about two miles north of.
Shilshole bay, and about three and one
half miles from the boathouse. In it was
the following note:
THE one that took this boat. Please
take it TO Ballard boathouse. The re-
mains of man who rented lies hack about
Jour rods from railroad track. l conf
mitted suicide because | did not have
work. Yours. CARRoL DEAN.
.'i34 Market street, San Francisco"
Nelson brought the note. which he could
not understand, not being able to read
English. and the boat, which he recognized
as belonging to Charley Lake, to Lakes
boathouse.
The handwriting of the note is fair and
legible. but looks shaky in places, and
apparently Indicates a condition OF agita-
ton in the writer. The spelling was cor
rect, but little attention was given TO cap
ital letters and punctuation marks. AS
soon as the contents of the note became
known Constable George Shields and Nell
SON started in boat at 5 o'clock to search
for the body. They returned late in the
evening, but say it was too dark when
they arrived to make search; besides.
the brush and woods were very thick. To-
day they will return and make thorough
search of the locality.

A BARGAIN FOR HILL.
He Could Get Eastern Division
of Lake Shore Road.

Eastern railroad, who went East recently

eastern division OF that road to the Great
Northern, has returned. and says:
II saw President Hill, of the Great
Northern. We talked over the price OF
the Eastern division, and tried TO show
him that il would be great bargain Tor his
road TO buy il for 81. o00, 90, which IS at
the rate of $1,000 per mrie Tor
the fifty miles. He said theirs

Great Northern were ready to buy l am
confident that it would endeavor TO buy
81 less than $L.oO9. 900.
Mr.. Brown was asked what were the
elements OF good bargain IN the PROPOSE
ton for the Great Northern:
1T would be good feeder for that road
and would afford il desired terminal faciii-
ties at Spokane. which terminals II now has
through us. Those are the two principal
features of the bargain"
For the present he does not believe any,
thing can be done TO bring about the sale.
Inasmuch as il is not being operated there
exists good reason. he says. for wishing TO
sell it. At the same time it is desirable
property for the Great Northern. Regard.

Receiver Brown roughly estimated the

at i've times the value placed on the east
ern division mileage.

TAHOE AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Mrs. E P. Bradley, well-known
in art circles both in this city and in
New Yord, has been engaged for
many months upon large picture of
Like Tdhoe. The canvass is Gx9

shore nearly opposite Mount Tallac.

tist herself in the month of june
last, large part of the shore-line Of
the lake having been explored to find
the best point for representation.
What is first to be noted is the large
way ID which the artist has accom-
plished her work. OF course the
breadth of canvass is ample, No sat-

SILVER AND THE LAW.

Sole tor Gen. AId,ich has exam
ined The law in relation to silver.
In speaking of an opini which had
been filed years ago relative TO the
bond question, AIdrich says:
Il wrote the opinion myself. 1t
had been called FIR in the usual way
and the Attorney Gen,r desired me
tn prepare it. am personally be-
lever In tie single standard theory
OF finance and my education has led
me rather to expect to find the au-
th"rity inquired about, SO | entered
upon my search without adverse
preposs essions. The conclusion l
reached vas that while authority un>
douhtedly existed under the re-
SUMPTION law Of 1879 to issue bonds
for the purpose Of replenishing the
Treasury's supply of c',in, either gold
or silver, there was nothing in the
stature book authorizing the issue of
such bonds for one class of cJin
alone.
How was this affected by the act
directing the reissue of redeemed
greenbacksl'
"rh,t did not affect it at all. The
greenbackssare, as | look at i, re
deem4blt in coin, bur whether god
or silver rests in the discretion of
the Treasurer.
AT the time the Resumption Act
was passed there was no silver in
our coinage. We're not the coin

ct IS true that the resumption
act was passed dnrieg the in erv.l

other hand the law vas not made I'M

said in effect that "a the lst Of Jan

The Government, in short, did not
put Itself into a position where it
would have been embarrassed III the
repeal Of the Act,if such repeal had
seemed desirable at the list moment.
Everything WAS postponed to the
first of January, 1879, at the earl
lest. Meanwhile the act OF 1873
was passed restoring silver 10 its old
monetary place BY the time,
therefore that resumption began and
the bonds authorized by the Act Of
1875 were prepared to perform their
function, and the two metals were
on an even footing again III the eye
of the law, and coin bond there
after issued was a coin bond, and
nothing more or less"

The Story of "FrIend Fritz -

Next Thursday, November 2, the
Roanoke Academy of Music will present
the Manola-Mason Company in their
great success "Friend Fritz ;" The his
tory of this beautiful play is a most in
teresting one. Twenty years ago, when
the province of Alsace Lorraine was
first threatened with the calamities of
the Franco. Prussian war, French
writer, seeing the faults of his country,
combined into his play gentle satire
and at the same time wholesome lesson
These he pre- sented with such a pleas
ing story that he robbed the lessons he
intended to teach Of much of their
severity. The writer was Erckmann-
Chatrian, and the play "L'Ami." John
Mason some five years ago was leading
man, the most popular man of the
Boston Museum, and knowing the value
OF the play, bought the American
rights, and at once began the translation
and adaptation of the play for the
American stage.
