Jade of the intention of the white caps.

SCHULZE LOVED MARIE.
Cause of the Suicide OF Western Land
Agent

Tacoma, Wash, April 24.-Instead of
few thousand dollars. as first sup
posed, the defalcation of the late Paul
Schulze, who was land agent of the
Northern Pacific railroad, will amount
to 100000, and may be more by $2O0,000,
according to the report of the experts,
who are engaged in examining the ac-
counts of the suicide. This shortage
and disappointment in love are believed
to have led to his suicide.
A farewell letter to Marie Vain
wright, the actress, was found on his
person, and the statement is made by
his friends that he had played the part
of the lover towards her for some time,
but the collapse of her divorce pro-
ceedings placed an insuperable obstacle
in the way of the marriage OF the ac-
tress and Schulze, who obtained a di-
vorce from his German wife over three
years ago.

many actresses and singers have relied
