CHICAGO GIRLS SUICIDE.
Quarrel with Her Lover Doubtless
the Cause.

the Cause.
MADRID Oct. 10-A young lady, tall
and fair and apparently about twenty
three years old. arrived at the Hotel
Paris in this city yesterday. She was ac-
companied by a Portuguese gentleman.
who waited until she had secured an
lady appeared at breakfast this morning
and afterward retired to her room She
ordered that writing material and bot.
tie of brandy be brought up to her and
she commenced writing. A little later
the hotel people were alarmed by the
report Of pistol. The sound came from
the room occupied by the young woman,
and when some of the attendants opened
the door they found her lying on the
sofa holding her hand to her side and
apparently in great agony. She had
shot herself through the side just below
the heart and the bullet had lodged in
her left arm. She was able TO speak,
and said that her name was Brown.
From papers found i'm the room, how
ever, 1t is believed that this name is a
false one. 1t is learned that the lady Is
a native of Chicago. and the United
States legation was notified. A repre-
sentative Of the legation was sent to the
hotel and had the wounded woman con-
veyed TO a hospital. There the doctors
reported that she was in a dying condi-
ton. 1t seems that the young woman
left Chicago in the company of an En-
gllshman for London. For some time
past she has travelled and has lately
been visiting at different places in
Portugal and Spain. 1t is reported that
the motive for her suicide was a quar-
rel with her lover. which she had while
visiting Teneriffe. Only a few pounds
in money were found in her possession

MAY HAVE BEEN THE MALTA.
An Italian Found Dead I'm New York
Five Arrests.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O-Has that dreaded
society Of vengeance among Italians. the
Malta, found another victim? Circum-
stances surrounding the death of the
young and handsom Italian found dying
in a hallway at 81 Mulberry-st. Just be-
fore o'clock this morning leads to the
belief that such is the case. While tbs
police of the south precinct refuse to
express opinion, the fact that five Italians
have been arrested is proof that they
have suspicious. The victims mustache
was carefully trimmed and his hands
were as soft and white as those of a
woman. He was breathing when the
policeman found him. Around one foot
was tightly knotted a long piece OF
clothes line which was extended to his
left arm and tied again. There were no
marks of violence upon him except that
the knuckles of his left hand Were
bruised and blackened. The policeman
summoned an ambulance. but before II
arrived the young man was dead.

Natural Gas.

The earliest use of natural gas of which
there is any record is in China, where
for centuries ii has been conveyed from
assures In salt mines to the surface
through hollow bamboos and used for
burning purposes. There are also places
in Asia, near the Caspian sea, where 1t
is seen to issue from the earth, and a
similar phenomenon is to be seen in the
Szalatna salt mine in Hungary. The first
discovery of natural gas made in Amer
lea was. according to Thorne, In the
neighborhood of Fredonia, Chautauqua
county. New York. early IN this century.

THE Hon. Gus w. Richardson claims
that he hasn't had fair trial before the
board, because of a majority of said
board being for Gross. How could the
board be otherwise? 1t represents a
majority of the Democrats Of the Tenth
Senatorial District, who said at the
primary that Gross was their choice.
The vo e Of Breckenridge shows that
ma 'ority of the Democrats were for
Gross. Mr. Barnes was acting for that
majority. The vote Of Hancock said that
II majority in that county preferred Mr.,
Gross, Mr.. Sterett was acting for them.
The vote of Meade shows that majority
in that county wanted Mr.. Richardson,
Mr.. McAulile was present and acted for
them. The board reflected the will OF
the people both at the polls and in the
contest. II seems to us that this ought
TO satisfy any fair minded man, especial
ly, il he be a Democrat and wants to
abide by a majority of his party.

The Messenger announces that VIII
Howard thinks Leavenworth, Ind, the
most beautiful town on the Ohio. As
parallels suggest analogi,-s to explain the
things of life so there is something like
an explanation needed here to demon
strate. Why?
heard an individual remark few
DAYS ago that "she couldn't see why some
parents considered it so necessary TO keep
their daughters in school so long" She
said: "With boys who expect to follow
profession it amounts to something, but
anyhow these girls, or boys either, who
90 off to school don't make any more
show than others who have less advan-
tages. Is making a show OF ones attain
ments the ultumatum of lief Allow me
to say, and say with emphasis, that an
education in this day and age is para
mount to anything else and that in any
honest, earnest employment it is almost
essential. Let us enter loud protest
against an education that would cause
our young people to endeavor to make a
show or parade Of their knowledge. An
education, on the contrary, is intended
with common sense combined) as min
istry of culture TO the place in which we
live. This alone marks the pure waters
of learning" An education that sufficed
thirty years ago will not meet the de-
mands of today. As to our girls-more
is expected Of them than ever before
along this line. An educated girl, when
she emerges from the scho l-room, does
not think for an instant she can afford to
stand still; much more awaits her in the
liie-work she is now expected to take up.
She doesn't find it in mere society and
she soon realizes it; but in the manifold
duties OF life at home, in her church and
social obligations to reasonable extent,
and il she isn't better daughter, more
conscientious wife and better fitted to be
at the head OF her own establishment,
then her education is sham, a fraud,
and her fathers money is mispent. The
love OF fiction seems to be natural to the
human race and as all young people
should read ! can see no objection to the
love of fiction, always provided that it be
good and pure fiction, which often lifts
us above our humdrum surroundings and
chases away "dull care" Still, more
substantial, solid reading at the close Of
school days sustains more vigorous in
tellect and better fits one for the stern
realities Of life. But, OIL / would beseech
every boy aud every girl in this land to
seek an education, not classical perhaps,
but thorough, sound English educa-
ton, and then take up course of read
ing il practical and admissible with your
occupation and surroundings.
