MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF A GIRL,

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF A GIRL.
Takes Her Own Life When En- Route To h
Married.
Hastings. Neb., April 2.-The Buring-
ton flyer yesterday morning brought in
the remains of Miss Lottie Merrill, of
Denver, who committed suicide at a
late hour Wednesday night while en-
route from Denver to Lincoln, where
she was going with her lover to be mar
ried. There Is great mystery surround
Ing the whole affair. as the young wo-
man and her intended husband, Frank
b. Massey. Of Denver. had known each
other for years, during which time Miss
Merrilfs parents had looked upon Mas
sey as one Of the family. Massey was
seen here yesterday and said that they
did not elope. but had decied to go to
Lincoln to be married. He said he could
think OF no reason why the girl commit
ted suicide. and he appeared to be great
ly grieved over the act. However, the
girl had made UP her mind before she
left Denver that she would kill herself,
as she wrote a letter to her mother at
the Union station in Denver, stating
that she intended to take her own life,
but the strange part of it is that her in
tended husband knew nothing about the
girls intention. She committed the
deed with morphine. Lottie Merrill was
quite pretty seni-blonde Of about me-
dunn height and q years old. Frank
b. Massey is middle-aged man.

PROTESTS AGAINST OUR TARIFF.


Japan and Argentine Don't Like the Ding
ley Revenue Raiser.
Washington, April 2.-The first open
and formal expressions of dissatis-
faction with the pending tariff bill on
the part Of foreign nations have come to
the state department from japan and
Argentine. The Japanese minister has
expressed the regret Of his government
at the proposed adoptionof silk schedules
that without promising to help out the
manufacturers of the United States
threaten seriously the important trade
Japan has built up at great expense
with the United States in raw and part
ly manufactured silk.
The Argentine minister has added his
protest in the usual diplomatic form
against the proposed duty on hides and
other raw material coming from his
country in great quantities to the
United States. No threat is made OF
restoring Argentine duties to the old
figure. That would be out of place in n
diplomatic note at the initial stages Of a
protest, and may follow later.

A Girl In 1t.


Henry Watterson, who for thirty
years: was a close friend of j. B. Nc
Cullagh, confirms the impression that
there was love romance in the dead
editors career in St. Louis. The young
woman in the case lived in Louisville
for a while. She was a handsome and
accomplished girl, and was the adopted
daughter of a present st. Louis official
in the early seventies, and almost a
millionaire then. Her foster parents
lived in the most aristocratic section
of ST. Louis, and broke off the match
because McCullagh was poor. About
twelve years ago she married rich
doctor, and they moved TO San Fran
cisco. He cruelty abused her from the
start, and, in few years she got di-
vorce and soon after died of broken
heart. The recollection Of the affair
saddened McCullagh's latter years, and
helped to make him the cynic he was.
The Toronto Blade has gained con-
siderable unenViable notOriety by the
findings of jury last week, in which
the Blade is compelled to make an am
pie apology to well known theatrical
star and pay the handsome sum of 500
pounds sterling for defamation of char
acter. During the trial the fact was
elected that when the theatrical man
was billed to appear in Toronto rep
resentative of the Blade called upon
him for an advertisement, which he
failed to get. IhereupOD, without wait
ing for the initial performance, the
Blade proceeded to roast the per-
former in which he was denounced as
vulgar and unworthy to appear before
respectable ladies'" The prosecution
showed that the Blade had been in the
habit of holding up advertisers of all
sorts in the same manner and threaten
ing them with ''roast in our paper"
unless they patrouized the sheet, in
other words the editorial policy of the
paper was controlled entirely from the
counting room. The jury very proper
| ly returned the verdict above annOunc-
ed and the court took occasion to make
some scathing remarks concerning
| newspapers which followed that line of
| campaign, and intimating that men of
| that stamp would do more service break

Died a Pauper.

The chihuahua, Mexico, Enterprise,
gives an account of the death OF an old
man in Guaymas by the name of o.
White, aged about 56 years of pneumo-
mia. White was prOspectOr and when
not prospecting was frequently compel
led to beg food. After his death, while
some one was hunting through an old
wallet to find some clue to Whites
identity, a letter was found from a
Boston firm Offering $50, 900 in cash for
his mine, the Blanca, situated twenty
five leagues from Sahuaripa. The old
man had evidently refused the offer, as
the letter was received some months
ago and the title still remained in his
name. Not cent was found in the
cabin and the old mans body was
buried at public expense.
During the recent "cold snap" in
Chicago the fire department responded
to 200 fires within twenty-four hours.
The thermometer, during all this time,
remained nearly stationary at 20 de-
grees below zero, and the fire hydra nts
were in many cases frozen solid.
Some of the firemen were without
sleep for forty-eight hours, and many
were frost-bitten while on duty.
Similar reports come from other parts
of the east. Residents of FL Paso who
grumble about the weather should
mentally make note OF these things
and resolve to reform.
One million dollars for palm garden
and concert hall is the latest project in

mammoth beer garden-tor that is all
it Is intended to be-will surpass in
size and magnifcauce anything this or
any other country has seen, but the
larger the venture here the more GER
