SAD CASE OF SUICIDE.
Mother and Daughter Found Dead
in Their Bed,
The Result OK the Later's Own Act-The
Victim of Her Daughters Insanity
Cousin of Bob IngersoI and .
Woman of Noble Deeds.

san FRANCISCO, Dec. I2.-Mrs. Sarah
B. Cooper, famed throughout the en-
tire United States because of her un-
firing zeal in works of charity, and
her daughter, Miss Hattie Cooper,
were found dead in bed at the Cooper
residence, 1909 Vallejo street, yester-
day morning, both having been as
phyxiated by gas. All evidence tends
to show that Miss Cooper, who suf-
fered from acute melancholia, arose
after her mother had fallen asleep and
with suicidal intent turned on the gas.
When discovered both bodies were
rigid, death having occurred several
hours before.
The news of the tragedy, which
spread with great rapidity, caused one
of the greatest sensations that San
Francisco has ever experienced.
Mrs. Cooper and her daughter have
been prominently connected with all
charitable movements, not only in this
city, but the country at large. Only
Mrs. Cooper's most intimate friends an
ticipated even the merest possibility
of such a climax to the lady's worthy
life.
DIR. Sidney Worth, the Coopers' FAM
lily physician, last evening made pub
lie the painfully sensational announce
ment that on two occasions within
the pasG few months Miss Cooper at
tempted to take her own life and that
of her mother by turning on the gas.
On both occasions Mrs. Cooper re-
strained her only after a struggle.
Notwithstanding the danger to which
she was contantly subject, the heroic
woman refused to be separated from
her daughter, remaining by her side
every hour for days and weeks at a
time.
Last evening Miss Cooper seemed
unusually depressed. Within the hear
of the Chinese servant she remarked
to her mother: II am tired of life;
want to join father, and l want you
to go with me-"
Mrs. Cooper's life has been that of a
re preventative woman of the noblest
type.
Mrs. Cooper had been accustomed to
hearing such words from the invalid
and paid little attention to them.
Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper was born at
Cazenovia, n. Y, 81 years ago. The
4uR0TSO1I 4dnIlys VI WHICH SAC was d
member, and which includes the IA
nous Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, Mrs.
Cooper's cousin. is well known and
highly respected in New York state, as
well as in Ohio, where many of them
still reside. Two sisters survive her,
Mrs. Skilton, of Brooklyn, n. Y, and
Mrs. Rawlings, of East Lake, Tenn.
Perhaps no more fitting obituary of
Mrs. Cooper could be written than
that penned by that noted agnostic,
Col. Ingersoll Presenting Mrs.
Cooper with copy of one of his ia
nous books attacking the religion of
the churches, Col 1ngersol penned
on fly leaf an inscription which was
at once a compliment and COMES.

In the Case of a.SwindIeriUsing the Uni

In the Case of misunderstanding the Unit
ed States Malls to Defraud.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Federal Judge
Grosscup yesterday adopted a new
plan in dealing with persons found
guilty of operating fraudulent con-
Germs by the aid of the United States
mail. He ordered the postal inspec-
tors to be the agents of Charles w.
Braithwaite in the return of the five
dollars each to 42G people scattered all
over the United States, from whom he
secured the money on promise to pay
them $50 a month as distributors of
circulars. A condition of employment
by the National Distributing Co. was
a deposit of five dollars by the agent
as an evidence of good intentions.
When a motion for a new trial was
made the court said it would be taken
under advisement until the next term,
and in the meantime he expected
Braithwaite to return the five dollars
to each agent. The defendant brought
into court his book of agents, showing
APO names, but the pages for August
and September were torn out. If the
money is not returned no mercy will
be shown Braithwaite.

"a MODERATE Measure"
The New Tariff Bill Which 1t is Proposes
to Frame this Winter.

to Frame this Winter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA moderate
measure" is the Characterization which
leading republicans of the house give
to the new tariff bill which it is pro-
posed to frame this winter in antici-
patton of an extra session of congress.
It is explained that what is desired is
a bill which will provide a sufficient
revenue to cover the deficit now ex-
isting, furnishing proper protection to
home industries, and also that condi
tions have considerably changed since
what is known as the Mckinley bill
became law, and that rates of duty
that were justified then are unneces-
sary at present.
The sugar schedule promises to
cause more embarrassment than any
other in the bill. The agricultural
schedule will probably be fixed at the
former rate of duty, while the wooden
schedule, it is said. will receive suf-
fcient protection to satisfy the manu-
facturers. The cotton and steel and
iron schedules are not likely to be
changed.
The biz, it is said, will contain a
provision that goods in bond will,
when taken out, pay the rate of duty
in force and not the lower rate under
which they were originally brought
to this country. An arrangement
will be made whereby dates will be
assigned to certain interests to be
heard SO that there may be some sys-
tematic method of giving the hearings
without embarrassment The date
upon which the hearings will begin
will be made public when the full
committee meets.
