suppose when this is found 1 will be cold in
death and out of my misery. Let Miss Maud
Papst OF 1922 Fulton street know that she was
the cause of my doing thus. 1 know there is
no Ambulance in Heaven for a suicide, but
nevertheless l am going. HARLEY FOSTER.
On the outside of the envelope was writ
ten my Dear Maud and Daisy a number
of times. There was also, "H. R. Foster,
room 101, A Third" Foster could not be
found at the lodging house on Third street.

it is not known whether he carried out his
threat or not.
Miss Maud Pabst is daughter of Charles

Foster in Glenn County, when they were
children. She said she had not looked on
him as sutton, though their relations had
always been very friendly. She had not

John TUOHY'S MONEY
Fred Radue Sues the Estate on a
$4,000 Note.
A BUSY SESSION OF COURT
One Year for MulIisan-Suit Against
Pfouts-The Printing Award Case
The Wheelmen's Park In
the Hole otes.

The $4,000 note suit OF Fred Radue
against Cyril Pauwelyn, administrators OF
the estate of the late John Tuohy, had
been set for trial I'm Judge Speer's court
yesterday but before the jury was called,
F. K. Corbett, one OF the attorneys for
the defense. made a motion to dismiss
the case on the ground that the complaint
did not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute a cause OF action and the arguments
on the motion took up the greater part OF
the day.
During one of his last spells of illness,
Tuohy was attended by DIR. Weyerhorst.
He recovered, and out OF gratitude. II Is
alleged. he gave the doctor a note for
$4,000. The note was dated March "a,
1898. and was payable In two years. On
the I'd of the following October. Tuohy
died. leaving a will and a considerable
estate. and nearly all Of IL was be-
queathed to the Catholic church. and
Father Pauwelyn was named as execu-
tor. DR.. Weyerhorst presented the s25,-
900 note as a. claim against the estate.
and on Dec. 26. 1883. IL was disallowed.
The note was then assigned to Fred RAJ
due and suit brought against the admins
traitor on Dec. Is. In his argument for a
dismissal of the case, Mr.. Corbett said a
suit on a note could not be brought until
after it became due and payable. and In
this case the note had not matured until
more than a year after the suit was in
stituted. He also argued that IL his view
of the matter was correct, the plaintiff
could not amend at this time and the
suit must fall TO the ground. The law
says that all claims against an estate
must be presented within 10 months and
that time has long since elapsed. Numer-
Gus decisions were quoted in support of
the motion.
o. NJ. Hall. one of the attorneys for
the plaintiff, In replying 70 the argument
OF Mr.. Corbett, said the suit was not an
action on a. contract, or on the note, but
an action to establish a claim against the
estate after Il had been disallowed by the
administrator. Mr.. Hall also argued that
the defense should have taken advantage
OF the point raised by them by pleading
II In their answer. and that IL could not
be raised on a motion, which was In eff
feet a general demurrer. Mr.. Hall also
cited authorities and court decisions.
George Haldorn. for the plaintiff, and
John w. Cotter, for the defense, also
made extended arguments on the motion,
at the conclusion OF which Judge Speer
took the matter under Amusement until
tomorrow morning.

PARTED BY A CIGAR.
A Half imoked Weed Effects an Es-

From the Tobacco Leaf
Not often Is a cigar the cause of es-
arrangement between lovers. This is a
true tale. At one of the colleges of mu-
sic in the West a physician was called
In to prescribe for one of the pupils.
AS he was leaving another pupil begged
for the half-burnt cigar he held. With
a laugh and Jest he gave II TO her. She
laid II in conspicuous place on the
parlor mantel. After a while the lover
called. AS she had intended, he noticed
the half-burnt cigar. and instantly con-
cluded that the other man must be on
a very familiar footing to bring his
weed half-smoked into the ladys pres
ence. His call was brief. and he never
returned. When the thoughless girl
realized that he had taken her Joke so
seriously, she wrote him, telling him
how II happened. But the young man
believes the letter a ruse to cover CO.
quetry. and declares he never again
