 Another victim to despondency due to III health and inability to secure employment ushered himself into the unknow hereafter yesterday afternoon hy'hanging in the eel lar of his home, 127 Cedar street.
 John Huber, for such was the suicides name, was . much respected German cit- zsn, about hfty-s seven years old and was formerly employed at Shoningsr's piano factory. For the past eight months he had been unable to secure any employment and this fact, coupled with i'll health, caused him to become despondent.
 Shortly after noon yesterday Huber told his wife that he was going out for walk. This was the last seen of him alive. About 5:S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon his aon John had occasion to go into the csllar and was mortified to sec the dead body of his father hanging from the raftsrs. It Ii supposed that Huber went into the cellal instead of going out to walk, and deltber | ately hanged himself.
 Medical Examiner White was notified and cut the body down. When cut dowr the body was still limp and the medica examiner was of the opinion that the bod! had not been hanging over two hours When hanging Huber's feet were about { foot from the ground, while a short dis tsnce away vas . common soap box ol which 1t is supposed he stood and fsssene! the rope about his neck and then kicked away.

and Torture TO Save Her Brother.
One Of the most remarkable and deli
cate operations in the line of what IS
known as skin grating was performed
at the City hospital AT Rochester. n.
y, the other morning by DIR. Charles
X. Barber and several of the house sur
geons A little over two weeks before
Arthur Wheeler, aged five years. was
playing near his house with some other
children. They started d bonfire Of
dead leaves. While Arthur was rum
ming about the flames he stumbled and
fell into the fire. His coat caught fire.
and before the flames could be ex-
tingnished his entire breast. abdomen
and one side were frightfuily burned.
The boy has been. ever since the acei-
dent in a prcearious condition, the
burns being So extensive that no new
skin could form.
II was al last decided that the only
thing that could save the little suffer-
er's life was 10 engraftth the skin Of some
1 healthy person on the burned parts
and efforts were made 10 secure some
one 10 consent 10 such an operation 1T
WAS suggested AZ last that Miss Minnie
Wheeler. the i1-yenr-old sister Of the
boy, would be just the subject. Miss
Wheeler naturally deinurred az first to
such proposition, but finally con-
scented when she WAS convinced that
her brothers life was at stake

her little brother Mere taken 10 the

better place than the home OF The
patients and the operation was per-
formed, Miss Wheeler MAS placed mn

skin from both thighs and one Of the

operation may he gained when IL Il

tion and story the bull dog is spoken Of
as the NEST vicious and i'll tempered OF
brutes the very last kind Of dog to
be quartercd In a hons shold or TO march
down the avenue AS woman's com
panion.
The bulldog. however, has been
grossly siandered. The sins Of mon
grels who have perhaps touch Of
bulldog blood in their veins have been
visited upon him and caused his bad
repute. The simon pure bull of pedi-
gree and ranking is one Of the sweet
est tempered dogs in existence. His
composure is unrufiled, and he does
not periodically growl and fret.
These dogs are seen more and more
on the avenue" each day, SAYS the
New York Herald. Fashion has be-
gun 10 set her mark on them, and the
only difficulty IS that they are hard 10
secure and "a long purse is needed. No

hard 10 raise. Once well marked,

clamur of buyers. and the chances are
that he goes at last To one of the fam

specimens Of the breed may be seen

held in leash by daintily gloved hands.
In all probability the best specimen
Of the ''bull in the city that takes a
daily constitutional. under feminine
leash. and is familiar to strullers of the
swell district. is the dog owned by
Mrs. Frederick Nelson. Fred Geb-
hardts sister lie is brindltd French

just coming into popularity here,
smaller than his English brother and
not so dec ded in wrinkle. vet with the

he is dark, in disposition quiet and Sc
date. Mrs. Nelson brought him from
Paris year ago, fresh from honors at
the French shows. lie is as typical a
dog of the French breed as il would be
possible 10 find. His cars-a distin-
gushing mark in this class Of canines
stick up stately and resolutely. a
sign that the breed is pure.
Whatever NAV be the other plans
of the Nelson household, the daily
exercise Of this dog goes on with
unabated regularity Mrs. Nelson's
maid takes him walking Whenever
her mistress is unable to do 80. lie is
