He was born In Montreal. and had lived here
for twelve years. He was head bookkeeper in
the office of w. Bayard Cutting, In the Mutual
Life Insurance Company's building in Nassau
street. In Montreal he was well known socially.
An intimate acquaintance who had known Mr..
Reaves for years said yesterday:
VI Reayes was an extremely sensitive man,
but was the last person in the world To commit
suicide when he was In his right mind. He had
been acting strangely for a long time. One of
his fads was an abnormal horror of catching
cold. He seemed to realize that he acted differ
emily from other people, and during the past year
did not go out To any extent"
MT. Reaves's friends believe that the letter
which he recently received, accusing him OF
wearing an immOdest bathing suit preyed upon
his mind until he decided to kill himself. On
saturday morning he wore the suit. in bathing.
as usual. After his swim he returned To his
room and hanged himself. Reayes, who was IS
years old. was well educated, and was an excel
lent musician. Mr.. Cutting said yesterday that
he would take charge Of the body until Mr..
Reayes's relatives in Montreal hal been heard
from.

BosToS. Sept. 1o.-Jen. Chas. J. Paine, owner
OF the cup defender Jubilee, returned to-day to
his home In this city from abroad. Gen. Paine
was on tho Continent during his entire trip, so
did not see my of the English races, although
he kept himself well Informed as to their out
como. Asked to give an opinion as TO the reasons
for tho vigilant's repeated defeats, he declined
on the ground that many things NJ which he
was not aware might have had a bearing on
the matter.
1T Is evident. however," he said, that no

ness in stays or In turning, rs was the
Vigilant. can hope to successfully compete
over British courses In narrow waters
against n boat built specially for such
courses. The understanding boat can secure
position on the weather bow of the
siow-turning one, and make II extremely diff
cult, II not at times impossible, for the latter to
get out from under her. As to the management
and handling Of the boat l know nothing. ex-
cept that | have a very high opinion of Capt.
Hans ability as a skipper. l am sorry, for his
sake. that the vigilant did not make a better
showing.
There Is one thing that Is evident, though,
and that is that the Nigilant's trip abroad has
helped the prospect of future racing for the
Americas Cup. After seeing the vigilant per-
form in different trim from that In tho cup
races, Englishmen will be more than ever con-
firmed In their opinion that in changing the
trim OF the Thistle and Walk yric on this side of
the water. something of their speed was lost"
In further conversation as TO the probability
of a cup race next season, Gen. Paine said that
he hoped very much to see one. but he could add
nothing from II own information on the mat
ter. He was glad to hear that the latest infor-
nation from abroad was favorable 10 a chal-
lenge.
"The principal matter now under discussion

lenge should be accepted from u 70-footer in

that the centreboard type is the fastest. and I
am equally we'll satisfied with the jubilee as an
exemplifcation of that typs."
When asked whether he would build for cup
defence and rs to. plans for next season, Gen.
Paine said II was too soon to consider either

while the ashes are used for filling in. Phila-
delphia disposes OF 582. 900 tons OF ashes and
1900 tons of garbage yearly by cremation.

ing l3,s00 tons of garbage after the same meth
od adopted In -. Louis.
The committee next heard various inventors.
Mr.. Slmonin explained his system by. which
garbage IL treated nt a cost OF Al cents "A ton at
Providence. The garbage il treated with chem
icals and. steam. ana the results are pure
grease, ammonia, and phosphates. W. Grevel

and Detroit, nj u cost Of about 81 80 a ton. J.
Frank Herman presented e plan known as the
wodiska system. by which garbage IL consumed
aud u gas is produced which can he used either
for Illuminating or'heating. John {. Soley pre-
Sented for the private consideration OF the com
mittee plans and drawings ior a l,Oo0-ton plant

that the outing OF 1894 had been u greater sue
