hospital, where he died as stated. No
note was left by Joplin, not even the
bottle from which he had taken the
drug was to be found. There was not
a cent in his pockets, only an old hair
watch chain and a jackknife being
found.
The hotel people state that deceased
was a very communicative person
and told little of his business to anybody.
He was never seen under the influence of
liquor, and no reason can be assigned
for his suicide, save on the ground of i'll
health. A verdictwas rendered by the

SUICIDE BY MORPHINE.
A Young Rancher Shuiiies Off by the
Poison Route.

Yesterday morning al 4:45 j. f. Joplin,
rancher residing near San Gabriel, was
taken to the receiving hospital from the
Russ house, at the corner of First and
Los Angeles streets suffering from
morphine poisoning, dying an hour later
from the effects, without recovering con-
seriousness. The body was removed to
the rooms of Kregelo & Bresee, where an
inquest was held last evening by Coroner
Campbell.
Joplin had been in the habit of coming
to town periodically from his ranch, and
always stopped at the same house. On
his last visit he told the clerk, William
Noble, that he was in very poor health
and was under physicians treatment.
On Wednesday night he retired at the
usual hour and nothing was heard from
him until about o'clock in the morning
when a young fellow, who occupied u
bed in the same room, came out and

WHO WILL HELP?
The Cry Goes UP From Those Who Are
Honest but Poor

The rooms of the Associated Chari-
ties were Uttered with an array of pack
ages of all shapes and sizes yesterday.
IN the city there are many business
men. as well as private people, who do
not fail to remember at Christmas tide
the many unfortunates who by force of
circumstances are compelled to depend
for succor in their time of need upon the
generosity of their fellows. OF these
kindly folk, whose Christmas will taste
all the sweeter for their generosity, the
Cudahy Packing company heads the
list. This corporation sent twenty-six
cases of provisions, each case containing
a ham, side of bacon and a tin of lard
These cases of provisions were addressed
to the several charities of the city and
were forwarded to the Associated Char
tiles for distribution.
Mrs. e. F.. Spencer also forwarded a
handsome donation of bacon, flour and
sugar, and the High school donation
consisted of most acceptable assort-
ment of food and clothing.
But, while these friends have been
kind, there are hundreds of people who
might, and probably would, spare some
thing If they could realize the distress
existing in the city at the present time.
Never before have the appeals from per-
so piteously heart-rending. The tramps
and professional beggars are always in
evidence. but this winter there is a very
large number of honest men and women
reduced to hard straits, and these de-
serve help. one case alone will illus
trate: A married couple with daugh-
ter twelve years old, moved the other
day to an old shack in the suburbs be-
cause they could no longer pay rent. The
windows are boarded up, and the wind
blows through the crevices, but at least
here is no rent to pay for the house is
scarce worthy the name. At one time
the father was quite wealthy. is a prac-
tical mechanic but cannot get work The
little daughter is a we'll trained little
girl and trudges a long way each day to
school, and has no luncheon, for both
breakfast and dinner are hard enough
to provide.
This case has been investigated by
the Associated Charities and the family
has been found worthy. 1t is mere
sample of scores of others who are de-
manding help, with the inarticulate cry
of the shame faced but honest poor.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Armenian Relief.
Clara Barton's Report Of Her Work in
Anln NIInnr.

Clara Barton's Report Of Her Work I'm
Asia Minor.
Graphic and complete reports of the
Armenian relief expedition to Asia Minor
last winter, spring and summer, under the
Red Cross society, have been made by
Clara Barton, president, and the officers
and agents associated with her in the mis-
sion Of mercy. The work undertaken by
the Red Cross had its inception in the re-
ports Of the terrible sufferings endured by
the Armenians.
The party sailed January % on the
steamer New York, under grave uncertain
ty as to the Red Cross representatives be-
ing permitted to enter Turkey. On arriv-
al in that country 1t was found that the
denunciations of Turkish atrocities by
American newspapers had caused the issue
of an order forbidding foreigners to enter
Armenia, but this pronunclamento was
finally withdrawn.
The relief was carried into the distressed
districts by five expeditions. These expedi-
tions penetrated the interior to distance
of thousand miles from Constantinople,
going in at the Mediterranean and out at
the Black sea, crossing the Taurus mount
aims and the historic Euphrates, in both
the SHOWS of winter and the suns of mid
summer.
Miss Barton says that Notwithstanding
all that has been done through all agen-
cies, infinitely more remains to be done by
some one, for "between the Archipelago
and the Caspian sea, the Black and the
Mediterranean" she says, "are today liv-
ing a million and half of people of the
Armenian race existing under the ordi-
nances of at least standardization, and
protesting the religion of Jesus Christ.
According to the estimates of intelligent
and impartial observers Of various coun-
tries, and concurred in by our own agents,
whose observations have been unrestricted,
from 100000 to 100000 of these persons
men, women and children, are destitute of
shelter, raiment, fire, food, medicines, the
comforts that tend TO make human life pre-
servable, or any means Of obtaining them,
save through the charitable bene6cence Of
the world. The same estimates concur In
the statement that, without such outside
support, at least $4,000 of these persons
will have died eff starvation or persisted
through accumulated hardship before the
first of May, 1897"
There was expended by Miss Barton and
her associates $116,326, of which only
about per cent was on account of admin
| istratiOn.

collapse OF the wire Nail Trust.

The great wire pail trust, with head
quarters in Chicago, which has levied trib-
ute on the people of the United States and
Canada since June l, 1895, has clloapsed,
and will endeavor to wind up its affairs
December l. Sales agents representing
mills within the pool we're scrambling Sat
urday to sell nails at S1.70 per keg in Chi
cago, which is precisely 81 per keg below
the trusts circular price, and jobbers were
selling in lots of from one to one thous-
and kegs from store at 81 per keg. Be-
fore the end Of the present week the price
will undoubtedly be down TO S1.25 per keg,
or within 80 cents of the lowest price they
ever sold. The trust has thrown up both
hands, and in q circular to the "jobbers"
gives them liberty to sell at any price they
please.
Troubles have multiplied on the trusts
head very rapidly during the last eight
months. The stream of dollars which
poured into its Golfers during the early
months OF its career had to be used to buy
up at round prices the opposition mills
which sprang up on all sides, as well as 10
meet multitude of other expenses. Not
the least of these was the maintenance of
regular force of inspectors almost as
large as the government secret service to
keep the members of the pool from cutting
below the pool prices.
The final advance of 10 cents per keg
which carried the retail price of wire nails
in Chicago up to $500 per keg, was the
straw that broke the back of the trust.

The Cuban Situation.
weyIer Returns TO Havana, and Claims

weyler Returns TO Havana, and Claims
to he Sure OF Putting Down the Re-
bellIon.
Gen. Weyler returned to Havana Mon
day night. He claims to be confident of
putting an end to the Cuban insurrection,
and is quoted as saying, "Wait until
Christmas. BY that date we shall have
dealt mortal blow to the revolution"
There is much speculation as to the real
significance of Weyler's return.
News of the war is very difficult to OBJ
tain, except from the Spanish side, but that
the situation is not very favorable to the
Spaniards can be easily understood from
the scenes daily witnessed in Havana. All
night the fire of the forts against the in
surgents is heard, and not day fails to
witness the carrying of scores of wounded
Spanish soldiers to the city. The sanitary
condition Is also terrible. Notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the season yellow fever
is still raging.
News from Gen. Maceo, who is in COM
mand of the rebel forces in eastern Cuba
(the province of Pinar del Rio) says that he
is confident of being able to hold out
against any force that Weyler can bring
against him.
Gomez, who is in command in the west
ern part of the island, reports that he has
81, 900 well equipped men, and proposes to
move into the province of Havana.
Washington dispatches have been sent
out this week stating that Consul General
Lee has submitted report to the presi-
dent, since his return to this country, ad.
vocating the recognition of the independ-
ence of Cuba, but that this report has been
pigeon-holed for the present.
