KILLS HIS FAMILY.
xyuo,ESALE MURDER AND SUI
eide IN CHICAGO.
A WeII-tO-DO Mason contractor
ktI,s His Wife, Their Four Chill
aren and Himself by turning On
the Gus in Their Bed Rooms.

Chicago. July 1.-Fr2defick lehman,
q weli-to-do mason contractor, muir
dered his wife and four children last
Dight and then killed himself. 1t was
ar first supposed that lehman ana
his wife and children met death py
accident, but il developed al the coro-
ner's inquest that the wholesale muir
der was calmly planned and that the
man intended 10 kill himself and end
the existence of the members or MS
family.
The dead man and his victims are:
Frederick Hellman. aged %; MISS Ida
Hellman. 81: Fred Holman. Jr., Il;
Ida Hellman. 10: William Hellman, I;
Hedwig Hellman, ).
The tragedy took place in a little
brick cottage at the corner Of Cornelia
and Wood streets The motive for
the deed is unknown, but is supposed
10 be the act of a mailman as Hellman
about ten years ago had sunstroke
from which he never recovered COM
pletely.
Suspicion was first aroused this
morning 10y the fact that the house
in which the Hellmans lived was tight
ly closed long after the usual hour for
the family 10 be aStir. The mother
and married sister of Hellman, VINO
lived next door. attempted 10 break
into the house but were unable TO do
so. They finally managed TO force an
entrance through a window that had
been left unfaStened and made their
way to one of the bed rooms, where
the dead bodies of all the family were
found. The house was so full of gas
that the two women were nearly over
come. and it was only after ii had
been opened up that ii was found pos
Sible to turn off the gas which was
streaming from an open jet. The rela-
tives and neighhOrS at once circulated
that the deaths had been the result Of
an accident. and the police. when they
came. adhered 10 the same opinion.
The opea gas jet was just above the
bed in which the mother and one Of
the children lay. and it was supposed
that one Of them had during the night
accidentally hit the StOp-cOck and
knocked il open. At the inquest. how
ever. an entirely different complexion
was given the matter by Charles. n
brother Of Hellman. He had not been
summoned as witness, and when he
was asked To take the stand il was
not expected that his testimony would
he anything out of the ordinary. He,
however. produced letter written by
the murderer and suicide on the pre-
vious evening in which he clearly
showed purpose of killing himself. al
though he gave no intimation of the
fact that ne was meditating killing
his family also.

The Prejudice Against Sleep.

The last word on the sleep discus
sion seems to have been spoken. II
appears that. after, all, the sleep slug.
gard is a very rare being. 1t is time
that people were becoming sensible
on the subject. The popular preju.
dice against sleep works an inhnity
of mischief. The tendency of the edu.
Gated is To wakefulneSS. and the man
who does intellectual work and exhi.
bits what his friends think dspOsi.
ton to overSleep. is obeying healthy
instinct. Sleep recuperates him. and
he knows il. The popular notion that
young man who works with bis
head. yet sleeps for nine hours, is q
sluggard, is popular nonsense. No
man whose brain is active and who
does not drink ever sleeps more than
is good for him and the cure If be
seems TO do it. is TO let him sleep ill
he gives the habit up. Sleep is a de-
light until you have had enough DIV,
but five minutes beyond that point
ii becomes bore. Nobody sleeps
twice around the clock. or even once
unless impellcd thereto consciously
or mcOnsciously by exhaustion, for
which. again. sleep itself is the best
and the most natural remedy. The
contrary idea has arisen there is good
reason for believing purely from sell
iiShnesS. Many people Of mature
years have lively recollection of the
diligence with which they were rout'
ed out Of their youthful bed, and they
resent the idea of 'pamperinG' the
younger generation, besides objectins

household upsctting which arises
