SUICIDE.
Baron Hickey Killed Himself at Ell
Paso, Texas.-.A Letter to His
Wife.

Ell Paso, Texas, February 10,-Baron
Harden Hickey, better known as the
Prince of Trinidad, committed suicide
at the Pierson Hotel, in this city. He
left a letter to his wife that he was
going to die. He married a daughter
of John H. Flagler, of New York, the
Standard Oil magnate, in 1891.
Hickey attained notoriety when he
took possession OF Trinidad Island
and proclaimed himself dictator.
Papers found among the dead Bar
on's effects indicate that he and his
wife could not agree. He left some
very rich jewels in Lis trunk here, one
of them crown. The Baron arrived
in Ell Paso on the third instant and re-
NAMED quietly at the Pierson Hotel,
not making known his identity.
The Baroness has been wired for in
attractions as to the disposal of the re-
mains. Baron Hickey's letter to his
wife reads as follows:
INV Dearest-No news from you. al
though you have had plenty of time
10 answer. / expect to leave this
hotel tomorrow or the day after. Har-
dez has written me that he has no
one in view for buying my land a
present. Well, I shall have drained
the cup of bitterness to the very dregs,
but I do not complain. | prefer to be
a dead gentleman to a living black
guard. Goodbye; / forgive you your
conduct towards me, and trust you
will be able to forgive yourself.

pany of twenty. Heretofore Mr..
Clarke has confined his attention to
Shakespearean roles, and in diverting
from this field, he has made a wise
choice, for he is certainly a worthy
exponent of stage romanticism. Those

the younger Salvini. whose death some

1.-THE Heart of Chicago" which was
produced at the Grand last night to
an enthusiastic audience, is certainly
the masterpiece of it's author, Lincoln
j. Carter, who also wrote and staged
"The Fast Mail, The Tornado" and
other successful plays. With the skill
of a true playwright he has woven
strong vein of comedy into what is
essentially a melodrama, and he has
mounted it with magnificent special
scenery and properties. All that re-
NAMED to insure it's success was
competent cast, and it is but necessary
to add that the company is one of the
strongest ever appearing in one of
Carriers productions. The exciting
climaxes were applauded to the echo
last night, and the curtain went up
after each act. The specialties, in
Guiding a novel roller skating act,
were very pleasing. The Heart of
Chicago will be on the boards dur
ing the remainder of the week with
Saturday matinee, and deserves crowd
ed houses at each performance.
