opened it and thus became aware of the
sorrowful fact that the thousands now
ready for distribution had cost him a son
and daughter-in-law. Action will have
to be taken under the letter, as Mrs.
Robinson. mother of the Baroness Won
Barnekow, will be beneficiary in the new
state of affairs. AS the widow of the
Baron and mother of the late Baroness
she is entitled to double portion.
The First Troop Cavalry, with which
Captain Brunson was great favorite, are
now satisfied that he was drowned when
the Elbe went down. An election will
accordingly be held in a few days to fill
the vacancy caused by his death.

FREAK OF Two MASKED MEN
THEY HOLD UP A MILKMAN AT AN
EARLY HOUR ON POTRERO
AVENUE.
HE WAS TOLD TO DRIVE ON, AS HE
WAS NOT THE MAN THEY
WANTED.

Two masked men, evidently thirsting
for revenge for some real or fancied wrong,
almost frightened milkman to death at
an early hour yesterday morning.
The milkman was Henry Heltzenster,
1892 Eighteenth street. He was driving
along Potrero avenue, about half past 2
o'clock, and when near Twentieth street
he observed two men leaning against a
fence under the shade of tree He kept
his eye upon them and his hair stood up
on end when one of them stepped quickly
to the middle of the roadway. The man
wore black derby hat and long dark
overcoat, and he had dark colored mask
concealing his features.
His right hand was in his overcoat
pocket, and the milkman was sure re-
volver was clutched in it from the way in
which the overcoat bulged at that particu-
lar point. The man raised his left hand
and said in quiet determined voice,
"Pull up" The command was so quickly
obeyed that the horses were pulled back
on their launches.
The man looked at the trembling milk
man, who was prepared to hand over the
few dollars he had in his pocket and his
watch, and then startled him by saying,
Turn your face round to the light" AS
the rays of gaslamp played on his face
the other man stepped a few feet forward
out of the shade, and the milkman saw
that he also wore mask. Just then the
horses moved forward, and in menacing
tone one of the men said, Don't try that
on" The horses were instantly pulled up.
The two men held hurried consultation,
the only words the milkman could hear
being, mo, that's not the man." Then
the one who first told him to stop made a
motion with his left hand and said, "You
can CO."
The terrified milkman did not require a
second bidding. He started off at gallon,
and when he got to a safe distance he
looked around and saw the two men turn
ing into Twentieth street. He reported
the affair at the Seventeenth-street station
and later at the Central station. He de-
scrlDed both men as about medium height,
give.
The police think that the two men have
a.grudge against some milkman who has
given information against them some time.
and they were lying in wait to get even
with him.

THE MONEY COMES TOO LATE.
Wealth Was Almost Within the Grasp
of the Hapless Brunsons.

OF IIdplcSs
A few short months ago Captain John
NJ. Brunson of the First Troop Cavalry N.
G. C. and his wife Ada, the Baroness Won
Barnekow, started for Germany in search
of fortune. They left here trimming
with nope and laid all their plans before
hand for the enjoyment of the wealth that
seemed ready to fall into the lap of the
youthful heiress. "The best laid plans o.
men and mice gang aft aglee,' however,
and ere the Captain and his bride reached
Berlin for some reason they changed their
plans.
The young couple came to the conclusion
that if any waiting had to be done they
would do it in California. They therefore
took passage on the unfortunate steamer
Elbe and both lost their lives when the
vessel went down after being in a collision.
Now comes the news that the estate part
of which belonged to the Baroness by
right, is in the process of settlement and
that it will shortly be ready for distribu-
ton.
The information came in a letter from

THE PRODIGAL's RESOLUTIONS.

The Rev. DR.. Gibson Discusses the
Eater of the Husks.
The resolutions of the Prodigal Son gave
the Rev. DIR. Gibson the subject for the
sermon which he preached at Emanuel
Baptist Church last night.
After singing 1.-THE Good Shepherd" by
Millard, the preacher said: "Last Sunday
we spoke of the two journeys; tonight we
shall speak of the two resolves. Before we
go on journey we think about it. Our
minds travel along the road before our feet
do. Thought precedes action. The Prodi-
gal must have resolved before he acted
He resolved to go away and he resolved to
return. In both cases the change was in
ward before it was outward. Like other
boys he lived for a number of years a con-
tented, happy life. | think his desire to
leave home started in the conviction that
his father was keeping something from
him. His request for all his property sug-
gests this. Wandering away from God be-
gins in bad thoughts.

a request for his opinion on the subject
was that Thomas Rooney's body had been
buried in a subterranean channel where a
solution of silica flowed. He stated that
a silicious current striking the remains
would fill the adipose tissue and change it
into silica, or in plain English, some
thing on the quartz order. Then again the
body might have been filled with an en-
balming fluid, which, coming in contact
with the alkali in the earth, would set up
chemical reaction through which the hui
man body would change rapidly into
stone.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 1o-A special
from San Francisco, says: Private dis
patches received here say that La Paz,
Mexico, has been completely destroyed by
a hurricane. The storm was followed by
tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising TO
an unprecedented height, invading that
portion fronting on the bay and carrying
out to sea men, animals and debris OF
wrecked buildings as the tide subsided.
The dispatch announcing the destruc-
tion of La Paz was dated Gusymas, and
was received by shipping agent Reuter-.
The dispatch said the steamer Willamette
Valley, o. the Pacific Mail line, had been
delayed two days at Guaymas, by the
storm which devastated La Psz, but that
sne.left Guaym last night for the North.
Mexicans here say that they have dis
patches about a severe storm which pre-
vailed all along the coast early this week.
The loss OF life is reported heavy, but de-
tails of the disaster are meagre. La Paz
is the capital of Lower California, and sit
uated on q bay OF the same name. The
port is well sheltered and easily defensi-
bic against attacking sea. The city had
population OF 5000, a cathedral, a govern
men house, and q town house. La Paz
was once the seat Of extensive pearl fish
cries, silver mining was extensively en-
gagged in, and the commerce Of the port
was not uncomfortable.

CUT HIS THROAT.
William ]. Passmors Used a
Razor.

William J. Passmorc, 20 years old,
single, committed suicide at 12:lb this
afternoon, by cutting his throat with
razor.
Passmore, who is a painter. has made
his home with his grandmother, Marcia
ID. Passmore, at 10 Barclay street, and
has been sick for about two months. Two
weeks ago he began to act strange, those
In the house have watched him very
closely during that time, and even went
so far as to hide his razor.
This morning he told his grandmother
he guessed he would 60 to his room and
take q nap.
When dinner was ready Albert w. Oar
ling, who lives in the house, went to call
Passmore, but received 20 response TO his
calls. He then tiied the door and found
that II was fasened, and thinking that
something was wrong he burst in the door
and found Passmore on the bed, his
throat cut, and a razor In his right hand.
Mr. Darling made a closer Investigation
and found that Passmore was not dead.
He summoned DIR. Abbott, who respond
ed promptly, but before he arrived Pass
more died.
Medical Examiner Palmer was called,
and after viewing the body had no doubts
about deciding IL TO be a case OF suicide,
and he turned the remains over to tho
frienus OF the dead man for burial.
So determined was Passmore to end his
life that in addition to cutting his throat
he turned on the gas in his room, which
was quite small, and could have died In
a few minutes from suffocation.
Just where he found the razor with
whic he he committed the deed is some
thing Of a mystery TO his relatives.

This necessitates change of programme
every night, a rehearsal frequently In the
morning and study of ones part at night
after the play or in the morning before re-
hoarsal.
The physical and mental forces, Il can
thus be seen, are taxed to their utmost,
and yet actors and actresses are as rule
sound, healthy men and women. This Is
due, first, to the splendid vitality which
they must necessarily possess To become
members Of so arduous n profession and,
secondly, TO the magnificent care they take
OF themselves The laws of hygiene-deac
letter to most OF humankind-are riRor-
ously observed. Fresh air, wholesome,
nourishing food, invigorating baths and a
fair amount Of exercise form part of their
daily regimen.
There are occasions, to be sure, when
the men at least yield to the temptations

Establishments of n gay company OF rollick-
ing good fellows who can speed tale or
turn witty epigram in way that will
hold chaps over the festive board until the
first rays of the sun begin to twinkle in
the east. These occasions do not occur
anything near as often as the public imag-
ines, for the simple reason that neither the
purse, the constitution nor the time of the
actor would permit of 1t, no matter how
willing the spirit may be. Especially Is
this true should the actor be ambitious
and desirous Of succeeding In his profes-
sion. Constant work and unremitting
study, he knows full well, are the factors
which lead to success, and not jolly COM
pany or cheering wine. There are bright
and brainy fellows, admit, who do not
live up to this standard, but, on the con-
trary, look on life as a perpetual holiday.
They are the exception, however, and not
