wonder at its existence. it is such
simple detail OF the mechanics of book
making. The pages are Ill proportioned

to publicly advocate this reform in the

help of the newspapers the reform was
finally inaugurated.

To the Editor of The Ev"ning Star:
In your issue of the llth instant you pub
lished sensational OroDably press dis
patch notifying the general Washington
public of the death Of my son, b. Perry
Collins. a Washington boy. aged nineteen.
who died at the St. James Hotel, st. Louis,
Mo. from asphyXiation by gas from a de-
fective jet in his room and whose death
was charged by the hotel proprietor and his
subordinate employees as resulting from
intoXication.
This is SO easily disprOven that il is
piece Of supererogation to refer to the sub
ject, the charge being made for the pur-
pose of lessenng their criminal negligence.
The boys exterior gave the lie to this
charge, and the statements of the embalm-
ers, " assrs. Smith q Wagner, that there
was d total absence of alcoholism, together
with the official autopsy of DR.. Frank,
coroner of St. Louis, fully refuted the SLAM
der, in addition to the testimony at the
inquest that the bed room was in perfect
order, my boys clothing which he had
taken off on. retiring to what proved his
dea tn bed being carefully folded and press
ed out his diamond scarf pin pinned in
TO the sheet. no liquor or empty bottles of
such being in the room when entered by
the officers, &c, together with the boys
general good habits and natural aversion
TO liquor, all disprove the lies of his SLAM
derers, and II il my sorroWful duty to make
this fact known for which purpose a suit,
both civil and criminal will be entered
by me against the hotel proprietors for his
death and defamation of character.
In the interim beg a suspension of judg-
ment. assuring the Washington public so
many of whom knew and loved him, as
evidenced at his funeral at st. Matthews
Church last Wednesday afternoon. and the
many lover In letters and kilograms of
sweet sympathy we received. that b. Perry
Collins. d loving and dutiful son. a true
Christian and honor to Washington
died pure and free from the horrible charge
heaped upon him. and that the criminal
negligence of the hotel in having such a
defective gasjet and the total absence of
the ordinary care in visiting the bed room
not done through the entire day and night
of Friday. November IL, was the cause of
death, and there was no intoXication or
even semblancc thereof.
BY kindly giving this prominent publica-
ton you will do justice to the dead boy.
Respectfully yours,
