ALEX. RUDOLPH DEAD.
Passed Away Very Suddenly at 8
O'clock Today of ApoplexY.

Alex Rudolph, the veteran grocery
man, died very suddenly this morning
at his home, 206 Topeka avenue.
His death was very unexpected, as
he worked all day yesterday and re-
tired last night seemingly in his usual
health. In the night he was taken
violently i'll and medical aid was sum-
moned. At 8 o'clock this morning he
died. His wife and two sons were with
him. The attending physician gives
apoplexy as the cause of his death. It
is thought that his heart was affected
also.
Mr.. Rudolph was a man of so years.
For many years he was the proprietor
of the large grocery store on the north
west corner of Sixth and Quincy
streets. A few years ago he failed
and his friends say that since that
time he has appeared to be unwell. He
was a prominent member of the
Knights and Ladies of Security.
The time of the funeral services has
not been set as the family awaits the
arrival from Randolph, Kan, of Mrs.
Rudolph's brother, Mr.. A Mills.

ATE HIS FIRST GOOD MEAL.
a Chicago Beggar Placed in Good Cri-
cumstances by Meeting His Brother.


Chicago, Aug. 25.-For years a lodg-
ing house or a dark stairway has been
the bed of Thomas Doheny. His meals
from a saloon lunch counter or some
cheap restaurant when they came at
all. Last night he stopped at the Aud
itorium hotel and ate of the finest vi
ands the market afforded.
For this change Doheny thanks his
brother, E. L. Doheny of Los Angeles,
Cal, and Detective Sergeants Burke
and Blunkett who brought the men to-
gether after "a years of separation
when every other relative had died.
The brother from California had left
the old home in Fond DU Lac, Wis, "A
years ago, and went west. After drift
ing about working at whatever he
could find to do, he finally located
claim, which proved to be a valuable
one, and wealth began to pile up.
About three weeks ago, he returned
home, only to find that both his par
ents, as well as his sister, were dead,
but he learned that his brother Thomas
was supposed to be in Chicago, and
after an unsuccessful search OF the city
for him, he placed the matter in the
hands Of the police. Last night the
missing brother was found at a saloon
on Van Buren, street It is said he will
accompany his wealthy brother to the
west, to become q manager of one of
the 1atter'S mines.

Lowell Carpet Mills Close.

Lowell. Mass, Aug. 25.-The Merit
mae mills, which have been idle for
several weeks according to the agree
ment Of New England manufacturers.
have resumed operations, taking back
to work 5000 people.
The Lowell carpet mills, employing
1000 hands, closed last night and al
though it was expected that the shut
down would be for alternate weeks
only, there is a vagueness about the
order to close which has given rise to
a suspicion that the mills viii be idle
for a much longer time.

GOLD CONTRACTS.
London News SpecuIates on the Com
ing Supreme Court Decision.

this morning,in an article discussing the
powers of the United States supreme
court and the possibility of a decision
in opposition to the validity of gold
contracts, says:
THE point is complicated by one de-
cision, and the future course of the
United States supreme court in this
particular is by no means so certain as
Wall street and Lombard street would
like to believe, but the conservatism
shown by the supreme court, and its
special respect for property, as demon
strated by its verdict against the in
come tax, indicate that the chances are
in favor of the validity of gold con-
tracts being maintained under all cir
Gums ances''
