represented as saying she Is living with
friends in Chicago.
The letter, the brother and sister say,
Is not in their sisters handwriting, nor
did she spell her name that way. The
police laugh at what they call clumsy
fake and Intimate that the discovery Of

FOUND IN The THAMES.
Body Of a Fashionably Dressed Woman
Picked Up.


Picked Up.
London, June 1S.-The body OF a fash
ionably dressed woman. about 30 years
of age, was found floating In the
Thames near the Tower bridge. In her
purse she had some gold and silver,
gold wedding ring and two dress rings,
a gold brooch and other articles and on
a key ring also found upon her we're
some American coins. All the clothing
on the body was of the best materials.
This is the seventeenth body found in
the lower Thames by the police during
the last three weeks. They are believed
to be the bodies of suicides, as in nearly
all cases valuables were found upon the
persons of the drowned. There is moth
ing mysterious in the finding of the
bodies. and the police account for the
somewhat unusual number of suicides
by the fact that the population of this
city has been largely increased by jubi-
lee visitors from the country and by the
advent of many foreigners from nearly
all parts Of the world.
