Fernandina, Fla. July pa soldier of
Battery A, Sixth Artillery, committed sui
eide at Fort Clinch this morning by jump
ing overheard and swimming out in the
sound so far that he could not possibly
get back He had all of his clothes on,
as well as his shoes.
The suicides name is Bigar. He came
and brought to this fort a month ago,
since which time he had been desperately
i'll, and at one time during his sickness it
was not thought he would live.
He was just getting out again, but was
very gloomy and always seemed to be I'M
der some mental strain. His father ar
rived here yesterday from Albany and
succeeded in getting a discharge for his
son from the service, and the two were to
start for their home to-day.
Last night he told some Of his chums at
the fort that he would never go home
again looking so bad as he did from his re-
cent spell of sickness; that he could not
stand seeing his sweetheart again In the
condition he was in.
Nothing was thought of it, however, un-
til his action this morning, when he de-
hberateiy swan out in the river and
drowned himself.
The affair was viewed by some of the
men at the fort but they were powerless

prominent and wealthy man of Albany.

of his sons body

Patent Medicine AImanacs.
From the Chautauquan

One important feature of advertisement
Is the almanac. There are half dozen
patent medicine firms In St. Louis, each
of which sends out 100000 almanacs each
year. At least 100000 almanacs made in
ST. Louis, are spread broadcast over the
country each year. The almanacs for a
certain year are shipped out in the fall of
the previous year. The average cost foT
making and delivering them Is from s. to
Sc and $40 per thousand. AS every large
patent medicine establishment now has its
own printing department, the cost of max
ing almanacs is reduced 10 a minimum
The astronomical portions of the alma
nae, including the weather predictions,
signs of the zodiac, changes of the moon,
and so on, are prepared by some astrono-
mer. a certain astronomer in Massachu-
sotts has made a speciality of doing this
work for patent medicine firms for years.
He charges $50 for preparing the astron-
omical letter press for one years almanac.
The almanac jokes are clipped from daily
and comic papers by some member of the
Office force of the firm. The chronology
telling of the dates of births and deaths
of great men. the dates of battles, and
other important events, is prepared in the
office. \ later fad in almanacs is to give
interesting information for farmers such
as rules for measuring logs and lumber
and wood, and receipts for hog cholera and
corn cakes and corn cures.

MICHAEL HEATS LINTON.
WelshmRn Crosses Tape 40 Yards
Ahead of His Rival.

New York, July 23.-'Jimmy" Michael,
the little Welsh cyclist, met Tom Linton
of Wales at the Manhattan Beach Cycle
track to-day in . 25-mile paced race, and
beat his opponent in the presence of more
than 1900 spectators. His defeat on last
Saturday, through the bursting of a tire.
was not looked upon as a defeat by any
means, by the midgets friends. and TO-
day thousands of dollars were bet and won
on the "Rarebit." Michael was the favorite
in the betting, odds of 100 to 50 being free
~ laid on his chances, and in the history
Of cycling there has never been such a
large amount wagered on a contest.
Michael was first away when the pistol
was fired and assumed the lead in the first
fifty yards. Before he had gone two hun
dred yards a chain broke on his pacing
machine, and according TO the agreement,
the riders were recalled to the starting
point.
The pacing machines were all quints, but
Michael picked up his much better and
cleaner than Linton.
In the tenth mile Linton passed Michael
but only held the lead for a quarter of a
lap when Michael passed him again In
the twentieth mile Linton made a wonder
full effort and overlook Michael in the sec
ond lap of that mile.
In the last lap Linton's men swung out
and flew past Michael amid deafening
cheers. Linton maintained his advantage
for nearly a mile, until he lost his pace
makers. Michael, who was then riding like
a little demon passed his opponent and
rode away from him.
In the last mile Michael at one time was
nearly half a lap ahead but Linton reduc-
Cd this to little less than 200 yards In the
final lap. Michael finally crossed the tape
winner by about 10 yards. His time
was 46 100 3-5.
