MISS BARRETI's SUICIDE.
The Loss of $500 Drove Her to
Her Death.

Boston, July 27.-The death Of Miss
Alice Barrett clerk for Goldman & Co. from
pistol shot wound last Saturday Was so
M ystcricus that it has caused a great deal
OF talk.
Absolutely no motive can be found for
the Geed, excepting the loss of $500 re-
ferred 70 in the note left by the girl, and
which was lost, no one knows how
There is no longer any doubt about her
Committing suicide, as all of the evidence
points TO a well determined plan for self
destruction. The members of the firm
by which She was employed had the ut
most Confluence in the young lady and
they do not expect to find anything wrong
In her accounts. An expert, however,
will go. over the books.
Mr. w. II. Foss, OF SomerviIle, was Miss
BaTett's sweetheart up to a week before
her death They had a misunderstanding g
and parted company. Foss said today
that Miss Barrett was one of the noblest
young women that ever lived, and that
nothing but good of her will be discovered
by the closest In nvestigation.

IL is understood that at an early date
the Postofrice Department will take up
for final adjustment the Brightwood post
office controversy.
1t is thought that when the Bright
wood matter comes up for consideration
the subject OF the general introduction OF
the free delivery system in the SUBURBS
of this city will also be discussed.
The citizens OF Brightwood are divided
as 10 the uesifabiiiIy OF introducing tAe
free delivery system in that suburb III
is safe to say, however, that the majority
of the residents are well content to con-
tinue their patronage OF separate post
office. provided it be kept on The site OF
the old one.
A paper was recently started by an eh-
terprising lady of the village for the intro
duction OF the free-deiiyery system, put
it failed of securing majority OF the ciu-
zeris and ffortfell through. brlghlwood
Park was formerly in favor OF securing nee
delivery advantages, but when Mr. an
Horn was appointed postmaster ior tie
Brieitwood district the idea OF Hee ae-
livery was given up by the residents OF Tue
mark without any apparent dissatisfaction
The fight between the Brightwood aud
Rriybtyood Park factions has assumed such
dir,,enr,ons that il has become a topic OF
conversation at the General Postoffice
A few aags ago Mr.. B. H. Warner had a
conference with Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow.
Mr.. Brislow was at a loss as to how TO
hon a lfnU
| limtnarv study of the situation, and Nr
Warner suggested that tie extension OF
| the free delivery system over the contend
| ing suburbs woulc perhaps end the con-
troyersy and satisfy everybody concerned
Although no formal application has been
received by the Postoffice Department. for
a free delivery system IN Brishtwood and
| Brightwood Park districts, Postfna ster-
General Gary has taken personal interest
in the matter, and recently held con-
ference with First Assistant Postmaster
| General Heath, with reference to the ex-
tension OF the free delivery system over
the two suburbs mentioned, as well as
other suburbs of the city.
Mr. Heath Is AT present out OF the city
and 1T Is thought improbable that any de
cisiTe action in the premises VIII be taken
until has retEyn. He viii probably be alb
sent about two weeks
As O matter Of fact, the law provides
for the establishment aud maintenance ol
the free delivery syst ern in towns or settle
| ments OF 10 GOO population or over Such
| towns must have well regulated and desig
mated streets, and the houses must he
numbered The fact that Brightwood h
situated on the intersection or terminus
OF five tuTnpikes, instead of streets. anc
the houses are not numbered, may initiate
against it's securing the free delivery sys
| TEN
Further, the officials OF the Postofrics
| Department are not assured that Bright
wood had the requisite population TO Sc
] cure the free delivery system
In the event that BTightwood n consid
cred ineligible 20 the list or free deliver Y
districts It is thought probable that il

office, md the free delivery system VIII
