in System Of Penmanship.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-The board of ed.

discussion, voted to abandon the old
slanting style of penmanship and to in
troduce into the Chicago schools the
vertical system. The board introduced
another, innovation, the bath tub, as a fac
tor in education. i part of the basement
of the Jones school, corner of Harrison
street and Plymouth place, will be fitted
up with bath tubs, and the same will be
done with the basement of the Wash
burn school. Fourteenth street, near
Desplaines. The truant officers, 1t is
stated, are constantly finding children

desirable to have them thrust into the

The girls who look as though bath

be taken charge of by the women who
are employed as assistant janitorS. The
board deemed it an essential that a child
should know the value of soap and

THE LAUDANUM ROUTE.
PROF. Won LOON, MUSIC TEACH.
ERR, SUICIDES.
Owed Rent, and, Evidently Unable
to Pay 1t, Preferred Death
to Disgrace.

Prof. j. Won Loon, a music teacher,

of 3S5 Walnut street, committed suicide
yesterday morning. He was found dead
in his bed at 10 o'clock in the forenoon,
and the matter was Immediately report
ed to the police. His appearance indi-
Gated that life had been extinct for
several hours. An examination showed
that laudanum had caused his death.
The body was removed to Willwer-
scheid's undertaking rooms. and the
coroner decided not to hold an inquest.
Mrs. Frederick Marks, the landlady
OF the house, which is known as the
Barton Hotel" was the last person
who saw Prof. Van Loon alive. He
owed her few weeks rent, she says,
and for the last four or five days she
had been trviIg to collect it. But the
old professor, who was nearly seventy,
put her off with the promise that lie
would pay her as soon as a certain man
would give him some money. He acted
Queerly and talked so incoherently
tnat Mrs. Marks wanted him to leave
The house. Last Tuesday night she
met the professor when he came home,
and he assured her that Wednesday
evening he would pay her. Wednesday
evening came, but a knock on the pro-
fessor's door brought no answer. Think
ing he was not in, the landlady waited
until yesterday morning. when she
again knocked OH the door of the pro-.
fessor's room. There was no answer.
Two hours later she Knocked, ana
receiving no response, she went
out on the balcony and looked
through the screen window. The pro-
fessor was lying in bed we'll covered
with bedclOtheS. His mouth was open
and his eyes closed. The pallor of death
was over his face. Mrs. Marks then
notified Officer Bumgardener, who after
he had seen the body. notified the coro.
ner and Lieut.. Babe, of the central sta
ton. After the coroner had viewed the
body it was removed to the under
takers.
Professor Won Loon taught violin and
piano playing. He came to st. Paul

a few people to sign petition to the
council, asking that Gebhardt Willrlch.

ST. CLOUD. Mimi, Sept. ia sem
sation was created this afternoon when
Mrs. Sarah Martin, of Royalton, at
tempted TO kidnap her infant grand
daughter, the child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hans Sutherland, from the home of
James \. Martin, city clerk of this city,
where the little one had been placed by
her father. 1t Is the first publicity of a
very distressing story, the details of
which are rather unfit for publication.
Mrs. Sutherland is sister of James a.
Martin, and previously lived in Cam
women; and the husband. to avoid
scandal, moved to Kansas. where the
same thing happened. Soon after they
came 10 ST. Cloud, and last winter Suth-
erland. who is young man, entered
the law department at the state uni
Versity while his wife remained here.
During his absence she became infatu-
ated with j. b. Hardebeck. notorious
gambler. The liaiSon was discovered
by the brother of the woman one night
under circumstances that left no doubt.
The woman, however, did not repent,
and separation resulted. Mrs. Suther-
land went 10 live with her mother at
Royalton and the husband began an
action for divorce, alleging cruel and
inhunan treatment and adultery. An
infant child of the Sutherlands was
left in the care of Mrs. Sarah Martin,
of RoyaitOn. the grandmother, for some
time, but the husband demanded the
custody of the child, aud as Mrs.
Martin would not give it up, it is said
that it was taken away by force and
placed in the family of James Martin, of
this city. Mrs. Martin, who is said to
have SIZED in with her daughter. Mrs.
Sutherland, in the quarrel. decided to
regain the child, and came to st. Cloud
for the purpose this morning. Her i'll
tentions were communicated to j. A.
Martin, who sent policeman to the
house, and followed himself When he
arrived his mother had the child in her
arms and was going away, but in the
struggle which followed Martin re-
gained possession of the child and
elected the old lady from the premises.
She Immediately petitioned Judge
Searle for habeaS corpus, which will
be heard tomorrow. The circumstances
leading to this unpleasantuess are de-
cidedly sensational, and involve several
men well known here besides Harde-
beck, who some time ago disappeared.
The suit for divorce will be heard a,
the December term of the district court.
