FOUND COLD In DEATH.
Suicide Of the Hon. samuel r. Rankin
Tennessee Lawyer.

MILAN, Tenn, Jan. 23.-Hon. Samuel +.
Rankin was found this afternoon in his
barn cold in death, .3S-calibre Smith &
Wesson revolver grasped in his hand. A
CHASTITY wound i'm the forehead told the
story of suicide. which shocked this COM
munity. The deed was carefully planned to
avoid detection by his family or friends. He
had calmly removed his outer coat, pre-
pared bed of straw in the STALL lay down
and sent his soul hurling into eternity. He
has been in good health and spirits appar-
entity, and seemed perfectly sane at his
office and home, and no theory of insanity
has been advanced. Mr.. Rankin was attor-
ney for the Illinois Central Railroad. and
one of the foremost chancery lawyers in
West Tennessee. He was one of the prom
inent members of the Methodist Church.
having acted superintendent OF the local
Sunday school for nineteen years. and on
several occasions was a delegate to the ma
tional conference. He was at one time a
member of the Legislature. and was one of
the leaders in county politics. The general
supposition by the community is the deed
was on account of financial reverses as he
was known TO be involved. The verdict of
the corOner'S Jury was suicide.

Mckinley Urged to Give II. Jefferson
Coolidge the Treasury Portfolio.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The New Eng
land senator's have agreed to unite in the
recommendation of Hon. T. jefferson Cool
idge, of Massachusetts, for the office of
secretary of the treasury in the Cabinet
of President Mckinley. This conclusion
was reached to-day after series of con-
ferences in which the entire New England
delegation in the Senate participated. Sen
ator Hoar led in the movement and made
il his business to see all the New England
senators and present to them the advan-
tages OF having a man from the Eastern
States in this responsible position. The
movement was precipitated by the presence
of ex-senator Cheney, of New Hampshire
and General WelleS and Mr.. Dalton, of
Massachusetts, in the city on their way
home from Canton whittier they went IN
Mr.. Coolidges behalf. These gentlemen
reported to the senator's that while they had
received no positive assurance from Mr..
Mckinley. they felt that the contest for
the appointment lay between that gentle
man and Mr. Gage and that the outlook
was very encOur2 ging. Some of the Sena-
tors were at first loath to take up the mat
ter on account of the claims Of men from
their own States, but they were at last
brought to see that the treasury portfolio
was of so much more importance than any
other place that likely to be awarded
to that section that all consented and
agreed to unite in a recommendation TO
Major Mckinley in Mr.. CColidge'S behalf.
They were assured of Mr.. Coolidges ac-
ceptance in case of his appointment.

Alleged Occult Powers of John Kiln
gel Exposed as Trickery.

STAMFORD, Conn. Jan. 23.-John Kim
gel. a young man who has been employed
about the railroad yard here, has been
performing mysteries through the sudden
development of some remarkable power
klingel told those who marveled that he
acquired this power about a month ago
while driving butchers cart. He was
about to pick up a whip lying i'm the bot
tom of the cart. when to his surprise ii
leaped into his hand. Since then he has
been astonishing the good people of Stam-
ford. Objects moved at his direction with
out apparent contact. Canes umbrellas
and pokers stood on end and at various
angles, regardless of gravitation when his
hand was held within few inches of them
Forks. knives and other small articles
We're held suspended without visible sup
port between his hand and the table MANY
who witnessed the exhibition of his power
were convinced a. most mysterious mag
netism was at the bottom of 1t. But they
were wrong. Fine silk thread is the mys-
terious power The young man has per-
fected a trick wherein pieces of thread
from leg to leg and arm to arm are dexter
ously used to support light objects. Thus
vanishes Stamford's fame as one gifted
with marvellous occult powers.
