Mexico Man in New York.

The following clipping from a New
York paper might refer to Col. ]. w
Platt, of the Racket, who goes East
oftener than any other man In Mex.
leo, except that Platt has no whiskers
for the wind to blow through:
A raw-boned individual with long,
unkempt whiskers and small, sharp
gray eyes, appeared at the box office
window in the Empire Theater q few
evenings ago. Removing a quid OF
tobacco from his mouth and holding it
in the palm of his hand he showed his
head half inside the window and said
in subdued tones: "Say, young man,
wanter speak to yer"
"There's nothing to prevent you
from doing so," said the ticket seller.
''No, I don't s'pose there is," the
man assented. "But you felIers in
this town are tn coldest blooded lot
o. cusses ! ever run up against. In
stead o. treating stranger in a nice,
friendly way when he starts talking
yer always try to speak as sharp as
yer can ter him. What's the use o.
getting so blamed uppish3"
"pm too busy to enter into a pro-
-lon9ad conversation psith everybody
who comes along" the ticket seller
answered.
ISIS that so?" said the man with the
whiskers. "Well, then, I'll get right
down ter business. There amt moth
ing slow bout me when wanter talk
business. Me and my wife drifted in
here fer Grant Day, and we're going
ter stay the week out, and hearing
yer had good show here I kinder
thought we'd come tor see it, an
blame the expense! Money ain'G no
object ter me, as anybody could tell
yer where I come from. Yer don't
know me, guess. Ever hear o. Jim
Judson? Never did, hey? sort of
thought yer might not of. You New
York fellows never do hear of any
body outside yer own town. Well,
Jim Judson and me are one and the
same person. Pm known at every
show house fer a hundred miles around
where I come from"
"I'm pretty busy" interrupted the
ticket seller. "Anything can do for
your"
"Well, yes, ter get down to business,
there is. I wanter get couple of
good seats. Gimme yer best"
The ticket seller handed out tickets
and the talkative stranger paid the
price demanded without q word of
protest. But he still fingered, and
there was puzzled expression on his
face.
"Anything else?" asked the ticket
seller.
"Well, now," said the man, suspic-
iously, "I was just thinking a little
bit. Though I may come from out o.
town, I amt feiler you can bunco.
How am I ter know Pm going ter get
these seats, hey? That's what sticks
in my cranium."
"You've got the checks for your
seats attached to your tickets" the
ticket seller explained. "That's
good enough guarantee that you'll get
'em, Isn't it7''
"Perhaps," the man answered,
doubtfully, "but out in Mexico City,
Missouri, where come from, a feller
writes his name on the chart when he
gets his seats, and then he's sure Of
'em. There's lots of room fer bunco
In this scheme o. yours. But I'll risk
1t. And let me tell yer, young man,
that there'n be two or three dead
show fellers In this house o. yours II /
don't get them seats"

1t seems that the suicides cause for
the rash act was due to financial
troubles. Tuesday morning he SEEM
ed to be more cheerful than usual and
in the afternoon he went down town.
When he returned home his wife no.
ticed that he seemed to be worried
over something. She tried to cheer
him up but without much success. He
ate very little supper and after the
meal read paper for few min
utes and then retired. About 10:45
his wife, who was sleeping in another
room with the baby who was some-
what fretful, heard the report Of q
pistol and call to Mr.. Lee. He made
no answer and she became alarmed,
and on going to his room found that
he had committed suicide by shooting
himself IN the head. The weapon used
was 80 calibre revolver and the ball
entered just back of the right ear.
On a stand near by was Mr.. Lees
watch, under which was the following
message, which was written with
a pencil on a leaf torn from his note
book:
"Be kind and good to one another
and blame no one for this act of nine.

FAST FREIGHT RUNS.

The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
has been breaking records on quick
dispatch freight within the past week
or two. Two trains, one weighing 1872
and the other 794 tons, ran from Gin
cinnati to Parkersburg, 200 miles in
eight hours and three minutes and
eight hours and four minutes, respect
lively. The run from st. Louis to Gin
cinnati, $40 miles, was made in sixteen
hours. Considering that some of the
grades exceeded one per cent, the per-
Torrance ranks with the best record
and demonstrates that the track and
motive power of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern must be in good condi-
ton.
