Shortly after o'clock Saturday even
ing " ellis returned 10 his home from
work aud went at once TO his room in
the upper port ol of the house. He did
not respond to the call for supper. and
after ringing the bell several times with
out evoking any response from him the
parents became alarmed and proceeded to
investigate.
AS the door was opened the parents
were paralyzsd with surprise and agony.
On the bed lay the young man. 3S-
calibr3 revolver clutched in one hand,
while from small hole in his clothing
over the left breast ooZed "A small stream
of blood. His parents were almost fran
tic when the full conviction of his death
burst upon them aud their sufferings
were awful in their intensity.
Medical Examiner Palmer was at once
notified. aud while the cause of the
death was evidently suicide. nothing
could be found on the clothing of the
young man or In the room that could
give any clue to the motive The young
man has always borne an exemplary re-
putation, and Is Thought to have had no
bad habits. He was a jeweler by trade,
and at the time OF his death was en-
ployed in the shop of A. B. Day 81 Co.,
on Point street.
1t is thought that the young mans
mind was unsettled, and this theory Is
strengthened by the fact that he had
never fully recovered from a severe at.
tack or the grip.
The Investigation by the physician
showed that the bullet had passed
through the heart. and death must have
resulted almost instantaneously The
pistol shot was not heard by anyone in
the house nor by the neighbors, and 1t
was ogly when the door was opened that
the awful truth was apparent.

A DAZZLING VISION.
what Westminster street People Saw
Saturday Afternoon.

Saturday Afternoon.
She was not flarningo. She was a
svmphony. She was not daisy. though
that is what sundrv Of the youths VINO
saw her remarked. 1t is not known who
she is, where she came from, or where
she went TO.
All at once she was. She became

afternoon, Just before it began to snow.
She had evidencly been deceived by the
sunshine earlier In the day, and bad
donned the fine raiment that she daZzled
the eyes Of the people who saw her with.
Everybody looked at her and did not
seem TO think that they ought to pay her
a fee for the benefit the sight might have
been TO afflicted eyes. The small boys
gazed and remarked. The dudes looked
and said that they had never seen the
like. "By Jove." All the staid business
men and belated bankers stared. What
they thought could not be even surmised.
She had u little red bonnet with n
flower garden on it," Her dress was red
as red as anything that was ever made
and il was trimmed with old gold in
such profusion that the only recollection
regarding it is a confused sense OF an
ecstacy in color. and there WAS liberal
view of white lingerie, brown hosiery and
low -countered, pointed shoes. She had a
broad gold belt, very resplendent, and
gloves OF the same. She held the skirts up
with one hand--fully as high as she
needed to-and with the other she held
an umbrella that was several degrees
more red than the dress, If that can be
imagined.
She rounded Turks Head and went
into the post Office. The stamp clerk
shut his window and donned his smoked
glasses. She opened "A box, took letter
out aud went back to the street. by that
time the snow was falling. The brilliant
creature went to the bridge, mounted a
Wanskuck Car and was lost to the gaze
of tire crowd that had collected. A
rather seedy dude was heard to murm ur,

Specter Photographs.

Mr.. Arthur S. Green, an American
photographer, gives the following meth
cd of making the camera source Of
amusement by the production of "ghost'
or shadow" pictures-for example, a
seated man starting back in terror from
his own specter. Make background Of
the proper size by stretching out some
black material. Place the subject draped
in white or in light clothing, in the right
attitude to the right or left of the center
of the background, then focus the cam
era and expo'e the plate for half sec
ond. The impression will be that of q
shadowy and ghostlike figure. Take a
chair and table, placing the chair in the
center of the background, and the table
on the side away from the ghost.
Seat the subject in the chair, with his
head turned to the ghost; focus again,
and give the plate a full exposure, which,
If the light is good, should be about two
seconds. Develop and print in the usual
way, Any objects to be seen through
the ghost should be photographed with
fifteen seconds exposure before taking
the picture of the ghost, Other devices
Of the kind might be mentioned, but it
will be more interesting to leave them
to the ingenuity of the amateur.-New
York Advertiser.
