MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
The Body of "Tiania" is Found in
Park Reservoir in New York
City.

New York, May 10.--"Never mind who
l am or why this is done. 1t will hard
ly ever be found out. [ hope not.
(Signcd) Tiania.''
This note, written on Il telegraph
blank, was found on the body of wom-
an taken from the park reservoir off
Ninety-siXth street today. 1t was UNI
doubtedly case of suicide, but it is clad
in mystery and the woman took every
precaution to conceal her identity.
The body was that of a woman about
30 years old, ) feet 6 inches in height,
of fine proportions and face of striking
beauty set off by magnificent black hair.
Some of her underclothing had the stamp
of ''Schlesinger & Mayer, Chicago"
upon it. Not another scrap OF writing
was found on her that would disclose
her identity. Besides the note given
above there was in her pocket a letter adj
dressed to the coroner asking that her
body be cremated; $50 she said would
be found in her left shoe.
The money was not found in the shce
but there was Il postscript to the letter
which read as follows: Il trust all will be
done right. l am sorry, cannot delay
TINS matter; money not received; will be
sent to the coroner
The disposition of the ashes is provided
