FELT VERY DESPONDENT
Suicide of J. B. SkOfstad Ia the Downey
Block
He fingered From 1880 O'clock Until 10 p. m.
When He Died Without Regain.
ing Consciousness

]. B. Skofstad suicided in the Downey
block last night about 30 o'clock by
shooting himself in the mead with re-
volver. He fingered until 10 p. m. with
out having regained consciousness. De-
spondency is thought to have been the
cause for the act.
Skofs tad had rented the printing mate
rial of A. II. Perkins in the office of the
Phoenix and shot himself in that room.
Mr.. Perkins had occasion to go into the
office snd fell over Skofstad's body, as it
lay ny one of the windows. He went
down and got hack driver and they
went hack. Skofstad had shot himself
in the right side of the head near the
temple and the ball lodged bv the OPP
posite one. The pistol was at his teet.
Skofstad was removed to the receiving
hospital, whele Drs. Bryant and Aims
worth did all that was possible for him.
His mother and two sisters were mott
fled and were present when he died.
Thew say that they can assign no motive
for suicide. He was home at noon and
seemed in excellent spirits, and when he
failed to return 10 supper they thought
it strange. He always was regular in his
habits SO far as they kenew and seldom
would go out at night About the only
unusual thing that they have noticed re-
Gently is that he complained OF feeling
very tired after work and as rule would
retire soon after supper.
Mr.. Perkins saiu that Skofstad had
heen drinking soma last week and APP
peared unusually respondent Yesterday.
The deceased was we'll known on the
coast. He formerly worked on the old
Tribune and about six years ago went
north and has been employed in Port
land, San Francisco ann other northe IN
cities. Last May he returned and has
been getting up the publication known
as the Travellers Guide. His mother and
sisters reside at 31S Court street and all
are highly esteemed. One of the young
women is employed in the postoffce ano
the other teaches school.
The ,odv was removed to the und ertak
ing parlors of Kregelo e. Bresee. where
the coroner will hold an inquest today.

Cutting is probably the youngest American to attract the attention of the prince of Wales, from whom he has a standing invitation to visit Sandring- ham. The brilliant young fellow made a happy hit when Gov. Morton was here recently. The governor remarked that he dreaded a good conversational ist, because he could not tell when he perpetrated an epigram and when q platitude.
 *The difference is simple, sir, :" re- marked young Cutting, who was at the table opposite the governor; when a truth is hateful it is called a platitude, and when lie is witty it is called an epigram."

Deafness Cannot bo Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach thediseased portion of theear. There is only one way to cure Deafness and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a arumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored toi it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of tho mucous sur faces.

No disguises are worn by the officials, and recently Com missioner Andrews astounded cap tain by informing him that some of his men were grossly negligent. The cap tain happened to be an honest captain there are such things-and he did not lose time in bettering his discipline. Andrews and Roosevelt have been about the saloons and docks a good deal together, and in one case a fat saloonkeeper threatened to call the po- lice and oust Andrews because the lat ter wanted to know why the former beat drunken man nearly to death.

 that the words picked up" worked their way around, in the serpentine style of gossip, to the Goulds, and much offended the social arbitress of that gilded household. Thereupon there en- sued a coldness between the families, which resulted in rather formal commu- nications between their respective so- licitors. All the good impressions which, thanks to the lamented Mrs, Stevens, had begun to be made upon society, were almost instantaneously effaced when it became bruited about that Mrs. Paget was by no means as favorablY disposed toward them as her lamented mother had been. The Goulds were by no means belated in acquiring this knowledge. They had apparently mapped out campaign, socially speak ing, founded upon knowledge of the powerful backing Mrs. Stevens could give them. But their whole strategy has been turned tOpsy-turyy by this entirely unexpected hostility in the Paget camp. The Goulds will have good deal of their work to do over again. They are very strong on the European side of the situation, but that by no means implies strength in the metropolis. Mrs. Gould is to be seen this summer, say the gossips, at the English races, fact which portends sortie upon the breastworls of London swelldom.

boNE' knows how fash ionable the Mortons are. The gover- nor's wife and his quintette of daugh- ters are invariably the observed of all observers. The girls are really leaders of fashion, or at least four of them are. The wonder is that fortune hunters have not captured them long ago, but. as matter of history, they have so ex- alted an ideal in their gubernatorial papa that they would not fall victims to snares set for ordinary girls. Never ttheless, they are gay butterflies, all of them, fairy phantasms, all skirt and perfume, and swarms of Vanderbilt girls, Astor women, Goelet boys and that sort of thing are always dancing attendance upon them.
 That is, of course, all very well. But here is Papa Morton in training for the presidency. He is certainly highly es- teemed-a gentleman, a fond husband and father, and, above all, with way of endearing himself as a wise, lovable darling to all concerned and uncon- cerned. But he arouses the wrath of an enlightened Demos. When he comes down from Albany to the metropolis he drives with Cornelius Vanderbilt. He rides through Central park in Astor carriages. He holds 1evees at the Wal dorf. And then he fishes for the work ingman's vote. How very inconsistent!
 This news has been appearing tin less blunt languagel in various Platt sheets. The inference is that if Platt can pre- vent it Morton will not get the Empire state delegation next year. But that does not matter. Platt does not rank as high as he did All the same, the indications are that Gov Morton will take the hint in regard to his pluto cratic affiliations. He will be review ing labor parades before long, uphold ing the rights of man, treading upon the neck of the capitalist and signing for an eight-hour day. Society is plunged into gloom. So are these fine girls.

It is a common thing for the coun- tenances of the dead, even in that fixed and rigid state, to subside into the longforgotten expression of infancy, and settle into the very look of early life. So calm, so peaceful do they grow again, that those who knew them in their happy childhood, kneel by the cofiin's side in awe, and see the angel even upon earth.
