uNREQulTeo LOVE

Responsible Tor the Death OF MISS Ch1ruO
EteId-The Burden of Life was Too
Great when She Realised What it Was to
b FriendIess and Alone in this Wide
Wide World, and so She Deliberately Laid
ID Down.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 23.-Miss Charlie
Fields committed suicide Wednesday
night by drinking bottle of prussic
acid at her home. 322s Lucas avenue.
Her dead body was found in her room
yesterday morning. The cause of the
deed was unrequited love.
Miss Fields was % years old and .
typewriter, employed by the Tilden
Chemical Co. at IT'S Olive street She
went home from work apparently in
the best of spirits
There was no intimation from her
conduct that she was ever downcast,
although in her heart a deep grief was
gnawing. She complained of feeling
somewhat tired and after bidding her
mother and sister good night, she re-
paired to her room Nothing more
was heard of her that evening.
Yesterday morning the other MEM
bers of the family went to the break
fast table, but Miss Fields did not ap-
pear. They thought she must have
oversight and little Robert Miller. the
girls 7-year-old nephew, was sent to
her room to awaken her.
Running up stairs the little fellow
turned the knob of his aunt's room,
which was in the rear of the house on
the second floor. The door was I'M
locked and the boy entered.
Over by the window he saw his aunt
seated on a chair. Her head was hang
ing out of the open window. Both
arms were stretched out above her
head and could have been seen from
the back yard below.
The boy thought she was merely
DOING, for she was fully dressed. He
imagined then that she must have
arisen early and sat down to await
the breakfast hour. He did not no
tice that the bed had not been disar-
ranged His idea was to Brighten her
in fun.
''Auntie," he exclaimed, as he seized
her by the arm, wake up"
The woman did not stir. The boy
pulled at her arm and it fell back life.
less on the window sill.
Wake up, auntie, wake up" called
the boy again, and he shook the wom-
ans hand.
But she was dead.
Sergeant Williams, of the third dis
trict, arrived and began an investiga-
ton. He found that it was a plain
case of suicide. On the floor by the
dead girls side lay an empty vial. 1t
had contained prussic acid, but was
drained almost to the last drop. On
the bureau was a note to the dead
girls mother. It read as follows:
Life is greater burden than I can
bear. Forgive and forget me if you
can. Too late! You can do nothing
now. Do not search for a reason, as
you will find none. / am simply tired
of living in total darkness and can not
see spark of light in the future. You
cannot realize what it is to be friend
less in this wide, wide world If you
have anything to spend pay my debts
I am not entitled to decent burial"

SAVED HIS TRAIN.

BY Robbers, He Returns and Puts the
Train under Fun Hesdw.y. Causing the
Sufprised Bandits to Jump On and ADAM
don tho Job
GALVESTON, Tex. Aug. 22--An un-
successful attempt was made to hold
mp the Gulf, Colorado q Santa Fe train
No. at Hiedenheimer, this morning
at o'clock.
Trains Nos. and 8 pass at Heiden-
heimer. and it was while No. 5 was
pulling out of the switch that two
men boarded the engine, and at the
point of their pistols forced the fire
man and engineer to crawl out of the
cab windows to the pilot.
The robbers then proceeded to the
passenger coaches after firing several
shots to scare the engine crew. But
after the robbers disappeared toward
the coaches Engineer Franks and his
fireman returned to the cab and set
the engine to going at full speed
and did not stop until the train
reached Cameron. where the crew
made a tour of the train to
see if they could find anything
of the robbers. but they were not
there, and it is supposed they jumped
off when they found the train running
at full speed, from which fact they
evidently thought something was
wrong and they had better give up the
job. 1t is probably due to Engineer
Franks thoughtfulness that the hold
was not successful.

A PULLING PROBLEM.

Protectionists Are Unable to Account fol
Increasing Prosperity.
If the average reader can divest him.
self of the anxiety induced by trouble
between capital and labor at time
when their harmonious action would
be so potent in the promotion of gem
eral prosperity, there is amusement in
the efforts of some of the organs that
are trying to make political capital
out of the strikes now going on in the
country. This disposition is especially
noticeable on the part of those papers
that think the repu blican party should
make the tariff question the leading
issue in the next national campaign
and are doing all in their power to in
fate the boom of Gov. Mckinley. They
may possibly be embarrassed by the
fact that they are publishing their own
inconsistencies broadcast. but there is
a heroic effort to conceal this conces-
sion to common honesty behind a bold
front and reckless indulgence in UNI
supported assertion.
No explanation is attempted of their
contradictory claims that prosperity
has come because repu blican congress
has been elected, and that there are
serious labor troubles because of un-
wise legislation on the part of the
democrats when in power. Whatever
pleases the people these organs credit
to their party. Whatever is regretted
by popular Judgment they charge to
the democrats. Pursuant to such poll
CIV they of course attribute the present
strikes to repeal of the Mckinley

trous uprisings of labor when those
laws were operative, but this would

are assuming.

Is brisker than it has been for years,
anal if they are not bagging all the
profits incident to advanced rates it is
attributable to their own lack of bust
ness foresight. The carpet manufac-
turers of Philadelphia get free wool
and hence pay less for their raw ma
terial. There is an ample demand for
their products and it is difficult to see
how a reduction of expenses would inn
pair their ability to meet the demand
of the weavers -or better wages. The
same fact has a ike significance with
the manufacturing clothiers of New
York, and they are all the better off
because of market that is greatly ex-
tended since the Wilson bill went into
force. There is no attempt on the
part of the protectiunists to tell what
causes the conditions they affect to
lament, but they go it blind and de-
clare that there is safety only in the
restoration of McKin1eyism--Detr
