TOOK 90 DAYS TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Missouri Man Adopted Starvation as
Means of Death.

From the New YORK Press,
After having reached the age of IS, An
ton Kern of Baldwin, st. Louis county,
Missouri, committed suicide by starvation
a short time ago. For forty-five days fol-
lowing the second day of April last Kern
did not eat a morsel of food, and only dur
ing the last ten days of his remarkable fast
preceding his death was it possible to force
a few drops Of milk down his throat. The
man had announced that he would never
take food again when he took 10 his bed.
Rumor says the cause of this deliberate
suicide was domestic infelicity.
The strongest characteristic of this
strange man was obstinacy His relatives
knew well the firmness of his resolution,
and when he brought down his fist on the
counter of his saloon and declared his in
tention of forswearing food, they offered
no protests, but falling on their knees, 81
lently prayed and wept
1t was about p. m. on the day hern be-
gan his fast that he appeared in the dining
room back ofhis saloon, where the family
were congregated, and said;
Here mother, take the purse and the
whole business! / am through! I'll never
eat again"
lie flung down a well filled wallet and
went off to his room upstairs.
The Kern homestead is a two-story frame
house, with eight or ten rooms, besides the
saloon room in front. 1t is surrounded by
a pretty garden. Two sons, Romeo IS
years old, and Anton, Jr., IA years old, and
the only daughter, Josephine, pretty miss
of 10, lived with the old folk. Emile, mar
ried son. 30 years old, lives a few yards
west, where he keeps a grocery store.
During the first night Of Kern's fast mis-
family did nothing. Next morning when
they entered his room he was lying In
bed, wide awake. looking at the wall.
His wife asked him how he felt, and
whether he wanted anything or not.
Let me alone" was the sole reply.
This trio Of words was the burden Of his
talk for the rest Of Kern's life. lie rarely
said more usually spoke not at all and
never said anything save in reply 10 direct
questions.
When he first took to his bed Kern
weighed about 100, and, il Is said, was in
no poorer health than he had been for two
years previous. During the first week Of
his fast he would lie for hours at a time
without moving his body or turning his
head. Al the beginning of The second week
he became surlier. At the appearance Of
any member of his family he would cover
his head and refuse TO show his face. He
drank water sparlngly and only at long in
tervais
Kern was fast losing flesh. and 1t was

Malay in time of trouble. They can lcp
off an arm with one blow, as though it
was carrot.
Il have brought the head Of AgIin-
aldo" the chief said, touching the edge of
his jewel-hilted bolo to ascertain it's con-
dition, " and 1 claim the reward Hasten,
else 1 shall have to expedite the matter
myself"
Don Basilio was trapped. He had to
open his desk and count out the sum in
Spanish gold. Aguinaldo punctliously
wrote a receipt, coolly counted the money
and walked backward toward the door.
He suddenly opened it and dashed out,
just ahead of a pistol bullet that cut his
locks on the temples. Captain General
Polavieja offered him and Alexandra a
free pardon and 100000 each to quit tie
colony. They accepted il and got the
money, only to learn that they were both
TO be assassinated the next night at a
fiesta. The two men who had undertaken
the job were found dead, stabbed TO the
heart, in their own beds. On the kriss
handle was a bit of paper with line
saying: Beware of the Malay's ven
geance."
Polavieja resigned and returned to
Spain, being succeeded by General Au-
gustin, formerly captain general of Bar
celona.
Aguinaldo is about % years old. He
and his comrade Alexandra hold the fu-
ture of the Philippines almost in their
hands.

day. but his vitality seemed as strong as
ever. His mind was perfectly healthy. He
knew every person that called and detect
ed at Its outset any effort to persuade him
to eat
At times he seemed to suffer most ex-
cruciatlng pains. His face would become
set and hard and his eyes take on a glare
like that of insanity.
During the third week of the fast Kern
suffered most. There was not day passed
without one of those awful seges of hun
ger which 1t seemed no man could with
stand. They would leave him weakened
and covered with Icy perspiration. But not
once did he utter a complaint and only his
eyes told, after each occurrence, how he
had hoped II would be the last, and end
his life with his will power victorious
After the third week the starving man
apparently suffered little. Forgetfulness
came 10 his aid, and he would lie for long
periods in a state OF coma seeing nothing
and hearing nothing.
For two weeks he alternated between life
and death He would remain unconscious
for a time and then revive as strong in
mind as ever
Water was all he asked for or would
have.
The physicians finally decided to force
food into the starving mans stomach
When he was overpoWered he shrieked like
wild man, and the family induced the
physicians to desist. But on the fortieth
day of the fast he unconsciously swallow
ed a little milk with water. The quantity
Of milk was gradually increased, and on
the forty-eighth day he was taking small
quantities of the tactical fluid. He also per-
mitted his daughter TO administer a few
teaspoonfuls Of beef tea, occasionally.
But the surrender had come too late, and
on the morning of the ffty-sixth day of
his fast Kern died In the arms OF
his daughter

The following description of the portrait
Of Christ obtained by photographing the
Holy Stroud at Turin has been forwarded
to the Rome correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail by Canon of the Turin Caihe-
drai, who has mad occasion to examine the
plate:
The Redeomcr, who miraculously left
the imprint OF His sunerings and the lines
Of His body on the shroud which enveloped
Him in tie tomb has miraculously reap
peared on a Photographic plate with per-
lection Of detail that causes stupefaction.
"1he noble figure has come forth ana

beautiful. The eountenance is still mark
ed with ineffsble suffering. All the details
are there-the m.nutiae Of the beard the
hair, the profile, the wounds. the welts,
the mark of the rope with which He was
bound TO the scourging pillar.

"To understand how it Is that the photo
