DEEPEN ON NEPHEWS.
The Man Who Killed Himself at AtohisOn
No Relation of His.

Recently a dispatch announced the
suicide at Atchison, Kas., of John Fl.
Wild, alleged to be a nephew of Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew. The suicide, it was said,
was the son of Mr.. Depew's sister. and
was a we'll known railroad man. 1t was
further stated that the dead man had a
copy of the Depew geneology tracing
the descent of the family from the French
Du Pues. The New York Sun has the
following about it:
CDR. Depew pointed out certain mac
curacies contained in the report when
questioned about it In the first place,
he said, he has only two sisters, and
neither of them is named Wild or has a
son named Wild. In the second place, he
has no relatives named Wild,
as far as he knows, and GER
tainly no nephew of that name.
In the third place, the Depews were or
iginally De Puy, and not Du Pue. The
only part of the story which DR.. Depew
was not prepared to deny was the state
ment that one John II. Wild had COM
mitted suicide in Atchison. This, he
thought, might be true.
"As for nephews," said he, 81 have the
most amazing lot of 'em that any man
was ever afflicted with, if all the reports
l get are true. Generally hear from
them from the far west, where they have
been stranded and have dropped in at
some hotel or railroad Office to borrow
$50 on the strength of their uncle's
name Then the lender writes to me to
settle for the 500 when the fictitious
nephew fails to settle. Why they always
make themselves out nephews l don't
know, but they do. I suppose if I had
kept all the fictitious nephew financial
letters that I've received in the asst few
wears I'd have enough to fill an album y
