schoolboy I had pet cat which would
follow me to school Just like dog, and,
remaining In the strawberries around,

father at one period always returned
home from his duties at q certain hour
in the evening. This cat would wait for
him at certain point in the road, and
as soon as he approached would spring
out, gambol little round him and
then trot yard or two in front OF him
for the quarter of mile between the
meeting point and home.
Later In life had cat which &C.
companied my family during three re-

He makes the grounds about his
house very pleasant, for he wants the
busy little ants to come his way. AS
they come, the loose sand gives wav.

his prey. If they happen to fall only
part way to the bottom, and begin to
scramble up again, he throws sand
upon them, the same way he threw Il

blowing up his house.

Alexander E. Schnel, a m~iddle-aged
Russian, shot himself through the right
temple shortly before moor today, in
Mrs. Peterson's boarding house, No. 50
Hudson street, Hoboken. Ill health and
the fact of his being a cripple were the
causes.

to Europe two weeks ago and he came
to Hoboken to board until their return.
For two years he has had spinal
trouble, and recently he became crippled

He arose earlier thar usual this morn
ing and complained of having passed a
sleepless night. He spent the entire

Shortly before noon the report of a
pistol was heard from his room, and he
was found seated in a big arm chair

himself there in order that he might
be sure of his aim. Death was instan-

CRBVIER'S Will.
1t Throws No Light on His
Affairs -Probated
Today.

The will of the late John c. Crevler
was entered for probate this morning at
the office of Surrogate E. w. Jackson,
of Essex County. 1t was in Crevier's own
hand writing and was witnessed by Hen
rv Quarterly, of the Hackensack Water
Company, and Frank e. Anderson, Gre
vier's PARTNER in the real estate business.
Mr.. William C. Macy, of the Hackensack
Land and Improvement Company and
Henry Offerman, named in the will as
executors, have refused to serve anu
Mrs. Crevier, wife of the deceased, named
as e~xecutrix, has also declined. The three
have combined in naming the Hudson
Trust and Savings Institution as temper
airy administrator of the estate. MT.
Macy's reason for refusing to act is n
he is already overloaded with important
responsibilities and Mr.. Offerman, who IS
seventy+two years old, says the work
would be too much for him. Mrs. Crev1er
has acted upon the advice of friends.
Her health has been feeble for years.
The Hudson Trust Company will soon
have a corps of accountants at work
and the muddle in which Crevier left
his affairs will be Strengthened out.
