A message over the phone from
Heath Spring to Mr. JAS NJ Cauth-
EN-, about 10 O'Clock last Tuesday
night, announced the death of his
brother, MIR John Cauthen, which
occurred at that place shortly be
fore from pistol shot wound in
tiicted by his own hands. Mr.
Cauthen had been IN conversation
with some friends on the streets
not more than Is minutes before
the pistol shot, which ended his
life, attracted "A crowd to the vici-
nifty of the depot. His body was
found lying near the Railroad

right hand and a hole in his head
where the pistol ball had ploughed
through his brain. Death must
have been instantaneous. Coro-
ner Young went down Wednesday
and held an inquest over his BODY
and the finding of the jury was in

Mr. Cauthen was son of MIR
John M Cauthen, of Heath Spring.
He was about 81 years of age.
For thu past year, It times he has

A NOTEWORTHY BENEPAoTIoN,

The colonization scheme set on foot by
Major Winchell Of the Salvation ARMY
bids fair to reach a merited fruition now
that Clans Spreckels with characteristic
generosity has volunteered to locate the
colonists on terms that are most advan-
tageous 10 them on his sugar beet lands
In the fertile Salinas Valley. There is
now substantial ground for the projectors
to work upon, and it is confidently ex-
pected that the pioneer colony Will be on
the land in time to break ground for the
coming spring.
To afford hundreds OF poor families
the opportunity to become independent
and self supr orting. to own homes
and farms. providing they exhibit q
proper degree of industry, is certainly
TO confer most pralseworthy benefaction
on those who have been compelled to suf-
fer through enforced idleness. Mr..
Spreckels has virtually put life into the
scheme, bringing it to the standard Of a
plain business proposition, OF such q
nature that those who join the colony
may be esteemed very fortunate. Thus
the ranks of the UNEMPLOYED will be
materially reduced, and, with the APP
proach of the good times that will follow

BEAU1IFYING THE CITY

A CORRESPONDENT SUGGESTS THE CREATION OF
PARK NEAR THE OLD MISSION.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdtt-SIR; I
am in full accord with my neigh bors who re
making an effort to obtain geological collec-
ton to be located south of the Mission and be-
leve that it is the bounden dutyof every citi-
zen to exert himself to make his immediate
surroun dings and his City rs beautiful as pos
sible; but am satisfied there is right in the
immediate vicinity something that is fully as
important and much more urgent than ZOO
logical collection and park in the vicinity of
l. Ike MERGED.
That is for the City to acquire the two ceme-
terry blocks for park purposes, while the ZOO
logical collection and Lake MERGED PROPOSE
ton will keep until the City obtains a new
charter and is in position to issue bonds for
the purchase of the whole Spring Valley plant
including Lake MERGED, the two cemetery
blocks may at any time be sold and divided up
into building lots.
An opportunity presents itself inst now t + It

MILLION. DOLLAR MONUMENT FOR
THE PRIVATE
Baltimore American.


There are many beautiful and costly monu-
ments which have been erected to generals
and other officers, aud also so-called soldiers
monuments, but not one monument dis
tinctly erected and ded icated 10 the enlisted
men Of the army and navy of the character OF
the monument now proposed to be erected in
Washington.
Grand Army place was so named from being
the site of the National encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, held in Wash
ington four years ago, and the idea OF the cree
tion of the monument there then took shape.
The site is what was formerly known as the
White House lot, and lies to the south of the
White House, in the neigh borhood of the
Washington monument. The incorporates of
the association named include thirty we'll
known veterans OF the war. The change in
the ad minis tra tion-the election of President
Cleyeland-caused halt in the proposed
plan, it being thought that Mr.. Cleveland
might be inimical to extending Government
aid toward the erection of the monument.
Several days ago the directors held meeting,
and ii is now proposed to go ahead with the
plan, which, in the first ms lance, contem-
plates the raising of 81 100000, and, SO far as
may be. by popular subscription, not only
among Grand Army posts, Women's Relief
Corps, Sons OF Veterans, Daughters of America,
but from the public al large

THE HAVEMEYER CASE.

The sudden collapse of the prosecution
of President Havemeyer OF the sugar trust
for contempt in refusing to answer ques-
tons put to him by an investigating COM
mittee of the United States Senate will be
to most people a complete surprise. No
one expected Mr.. Haveneyer would ever
purge himself of Contempt by answering
the questions put to him. nor did any one
think he would be sent. to Jail for any
alarming length of time; but. neverthe-
less, there was general belief he would
have something like a real trial and that
he would escape by some professional
cleverness iich would increase our ad :
miration tor the law without lowering our
respect for the dignity of the Senate.
Mr.. Havemeyer, however, was dis
charged from custody simply because
the stenographic notes of the evidence
of his refusal to answer the ques-
tions put to him were lost, or at any
seems that no other evidence than that
contained in the missing notes was per.
Missile. The facts OF the refusal could
have been proven by the Senators who
asked the questions, by the report of the
com mittee to the Senate that the witness
would not answer, and by the testimony
of persons who were present when the IN
vestiga,ion took place. ALI such evidence.
however, was of no use to the court. The
notes were the thing and the notes were
not there.
The decision will give powerful slim
illus to the industry OF removing court
notes and legal documents to places where
they will do no harm to accused persons.
Whether this industry will be beneficial
to the public may be questioned without
exciting general Indignation. Mr.. Have
meyer we note has said "the verdict is
satisfactory to me and to every decent
man in the community" On that also
there will be differences of opinion. On
one point, however, there will be a con-
sensus: Mr.. Havemeyer is citizen of
such refining influences that he can not
only refine sugar but bring about refine.

of the polariscope.
