KILLED HIMSELF WHILE In BED
Frank J. FIannigan's Sensational Sui
eide Last Night.
He Locked His Room, Went to Bed.
and Then Fired Four Bullets
Into His Breast.

About 1880 O'clock last night a young
man named Frank J. Flanagan commit
ted suicide in his room over NobePs S
grocery store on the northwest corner OF
Tenth and l streets.
Another man who occupied a room on
the same floor heard several pistol shots
and informed Joe Wallace, the special
policeman on street. Wallace went to
the place and broke in the door of FIan-
nigan's room and discovered him lying
dead in MS bed.
Flannigan had disrobed for the night,
and his night-shirt was powder-burned
in front where the pistol had been held
close against the breast.
The pistol, tive-shooter of 3S-oaliber,
was found in the bed with four chambers
empty, the others all bearing evidence of
having been recently discharged.
Deputy Coroner Fenton. who was
called at once, found that all the bullets
had apparently entered in the same spot.
Indeed, there seemed to be but one large
wound.
The man who gave the alarm declared
he heard four shots, but no other wounds
could be found on the suicides body.
The deceased was pressman, but not
regularly employed. He had work ed off
and on in the different offices in the city.
FIannigan was apparently IS or 30
years OF age, and had no relatives here,
SO far as could be ascertained.
No cause is known for his taking his
life, but when his acquaintance are
heard from some facts bearing thereon
may come to light. He left no written
statement.
1t is said that Flanagan passed a part
Of the evening in playing the trombone,
from which fact it would appear that ne
was not in very despondent mood.
II is probable that all four OF the bullets
did not enter the same spot in his breast.
for that would appear to be almost i'm
possible. Some may be found in the
wallis OF the room. the bedding or the
ceiling. a close inspection of the room
could not be made last night

ACCIDENTAL, POISONING
Some Things That People Should Be
Careful a bout.

SaESIuI ABOUT
In face of the frequent accounts of
accidental poisoning, the following
facts may prove both interesting ard
useful. In the first place, all copper
vessels should be retinned directly the
surface shows signs OF being worn.
Neither acid, salt nor fatty bodies will
attack well-cleaned copper vessels; vine
gar may even be boiled in them with
safety, but should it be allowed TO cool in
the vessels, it will dissolve enough cop
per to become dangerous. The advantage
in copper poisoning is that one of the first
symptoms IS vomiting; that is TO say, the
poison is rejected from the system.
Zinc, though it coucealS itself so often
under the name of galvanized iron,'' is
still more dangerous than copper. No
acid foods or liquids should ever be al
lowed to remain in galvanized vessels.
Lead, from culinary point of view, Is
the least to be recommended OF all the
metals, as it polsons slowly without pro-
ducing vomiting, while tin, iron, steel
and nickel are practically harmless.
But it is not only the vessels used in
preparing food which are dangerous;
many foods IN themselves are legitimate
objects OF suspicion. For instance, the
potato becomes unfit for food when it has
commenced to germinate, or when it is
green from having been partially exposed
TO the air while growing. The green part
and the "eye" contain an undoubted
poison, which has sharp taste, and is
capable of producing paralysis, or even
death. At the end Of the winter many
pigs are unhealthy through having been
FED on these green potatoes, or on poJa-
toes from which the eyes containing the
germs have not been carefully cut
Mushrooms should always be carefully
verified by person thoroughly ac-
quainted with their pecuIiarities Some
cooks put a silver coin with them when
cooking; if the coin turns black they re-
ject the mushrooms. This is really no
test at all, as many OF the poisonous fungi
will not blacl1en silver. All animal food
in an advanced state OF decomposition is
more or less poisonous; for this reason
timed fish is never to be trusted, as the
fish are often stale when timed. Smokers
especially should be careful, as their taste
Is often not so fine as that of non
smoker, and they are consequently less
likely to. detect tin of doubtful fish.
MusSels, again, are always poisonous, al
though the seat and nature of the poison
mas never been discovered York

a Blow at lotteries.
Oakland Tribune.

Wells, Fargo & Co. have issued q cir
cular to all their agents, prohibiting
them from handling or forwarding ANY
matter appertainlng to lotteries, lottery
tickets, drawings" or any paper Offering
prizes in any gift concert depending
upon lot or chance. When lottery circu-
lars were shut out from the mails the
only avenue open was the several ex-
press companies. All the lottery Htera-
tune went through these companies. The
dealers were not greatly Inconvenience
so long as this way of transportation was
kept open. 1t cost the lottery men lit
tie more than it did to send tneir matter
by mail. Now that Wells, Fargo g. Co.
have refused to transport anything per-
tanning 10 lotteries, there is no express
company in all the country OF any i'm
portance that is now available for these
lottery dealers.
1t has been estimated that more than
500, 900 q month have been contributed
by the people OF California to the lotteries
outside of the country. Some estimates
have put the figures much higher. A
million of dollars or more a year have
been drained from the people. These
contributions, 1t is said, were increasing.
Now that the facilities of transportation
have been so nearly destroyed there VIII
probably be a great decrease of lottery
contributions. The business has been
Outlawed by the Federal Government.
Now it has been Outlawed by the express
companies. Lotteries cannot now be
maintained, except in Clandestine ways,
and at the cost Otprivate messengers, who
will probably, for time, communicate
with the chief cities of the country. Tho
whole lottery business has received a
blow from which it Is not likely to ra-
cover.

Some Fine Geraniums.

Have you La Eavorite among your
geraniums? This is one of the loveliest
of all double white geraniums. Its trussss

Anna Hoste is another beautiful variety,
having large trusses OF double flowers of
deep amaranth crimson with q very dis
Inct scarlet eye. The flowers are rich
and velYety as pansies.
Some prefer single gerauiums, but I
ind the single trusses fade much sooner
than the double. The flowers are no finer

freely, as some think, still the Iasti ug
qualities OF the double blooms certainly

SALT LAKE, April pa special to the
HeroLd from Butte, Mont, says: AN
evening paper prints startling story
about former welI-known woman, Mrs.
Jerome B. Westgate, having been locked
up in q private madhouse at San Diego,
Cal, on charges trumpod up by nsr hus-
band.
About ten years ago the woman owned
large real estate interests in Butte, but her
health failed her, aud her husband per-
suaded her to dispose of her property
and so TO California. Since then her
friends and q sister living here have
heard little from her. Some weeks ago
the sister received an anonymous letter
informing her that Mrs. Westgate was in
carcerated IL private asylum at san
Diego The former went at once 10 her
sisters rescue and secured her release,
and has just returned 10 Butte. Mrs.
w estgate IS q physical wreck. She says
that shortly after they settled in san
Diego she invested her money SUCCESS
fully, while her husband became worth
less. She threatened TO sue Tor divorce,
and then he schgmed TO get possession OF
her property. He destroyed their mar
rage certificate and denied that she was
his wife.
She claims that he drugged her and had
her confined in private asylum and
kept her in a solitary cell for weeks.
Friends charged her husband with mur-
der and in this way her whereabouts
were discovered.
Mrs. Westgate has secured a copy of
her marriage certificate and will return
TO San Diego to recover her property.
SAN DIEGO, April 22.-Jerome B. West
gate states for some considerable time
alter he and Mrs. Westgata came to san
Diego she showed signs of insanity, but
that no particular notice was taken OF her
case until last October when she was
regularly examined by physicians here,
declared insane and committed to the
asylum aJ San BernardinO. from where
reports occasionally reached him that she
was no better. On April 18th he was in

tnaC Mrs. w estgate had been released. on

WestGat0 also states that he helped his
wife to obtain divorce, and that he was
married to her by contract IL February,
1893, IN this city, and that ho has this Cer-
Uhcate still III his possession. lie further
states that all property is still in his
wife name; that he has never pracEiced
cruelty towards her. and that he was not
aware until quite recently that she was
either liberated or that any steps were
being taken TO secure her property.
He now declares it TO be his intention
