an ex-policeman. cut it down and informed
the police department Near the body was
a bottle containing a little morphine, and
some of the drug had been spilled on
Strong's clothing, showing that he made
his death doubly sure by both poisoning and
hanging himself. The body was taken to
the morgue at the police station to await
Identification. Many looked at the remains,
but none could give give any clew to the
mans identity till Fred Heller said the man
was A. w. Strong, who lived at the st.
Nicholas Hotel. The police Immediately
began to follow up this clew and succeeded
in determining that Heier's identification
was correct.
At the ST. Nicholas Hotel Strong's vaise
was found. 1t contained some clothing

st. Nicholas. He began playing his money
in the bucket shops. drank heavily, and
after while lost all his funds. There were
but cents in his pockets when he was
found, and these were used to close his
eyes at the morgue.
He wore dark clothes, old but we'll kept,
and had the look of business man. He
wandered aimlessly about the city a good
deal after he began to lose his money in the
bucket shops, and was seen several times

body, and after looking at the face said
he knew the man well and knew his brother
Alexander Strong, of Champaign, Ill. He
sent a telegram to Alexander Strong, and
an answer was received saying he would
be here this morning. Mr.. Dye said Alex

Given u Jail Sentence.

Edward Jones, foreman in the Gesen-
dorn wooden mills was yesterday sent to
Jail for thirty days and fined $50 in Police
Court for assaulting Miss Jennie Baldwin,
an employee under his authority. Several
other girls employed in the mill were pres
ent in court and testified that Jones, taking
advantage of his position made a practice
of taking liberties with the girls in his de-
partment to such degree that last Thurs
day they were compelled to report him to
the management. Since that time, they
said, he had been worse than ever, until
finally he .forcibly Rugged Miss Baldwin,
who caused his arrest.
According to the girls, he continually
made vulgar remarks to them and in other
ways acted unlike a decent man. Judge
Cox, in passing sentence, said the actions
of the defendant stamped him as entirely
untitled to have authority over girls, and
that such a man lis a dirty, low-down
scoundrel, too contemplate for decent peo-
pie to associate with" Jones's defense was
that he was only having fun" with the
girls.

Rough Riders Mascot Bests Badly,

HOuSh Riders Mascot BeSts Badly,
the Former City Menagerie Boss.
From the New York Sun.
There's a new chief in the eagle cage
in the Central park ZOO His name is
Teddy. He was formerly the mascot
OF the rough riders and accompanied
that regiment throughout its campaign
in Cuba.
1t is a golden eagle, called a war
eagle by the Indians, and is a good
specimen of its species, it's wings hav-
ing a spread of seven feet When it
was placed in the eagle cage the keep
ers called it Teddy in honor of the
colonel of the rough riders.
The family Of eagles and hawks in
the cage had been ruled for a long time
by a big eagle, whose head feathers
had fallen out from old age. The keep
ers called him Badly. The other birds
In the cage recognized him as mas
ter and got out of the way when he
chose to take the food they were eat
irS.
Teddy was in the cage only a few
days when he refused to be bossed by
the old leader. Badly tried to take a
choice piece Of meat the mascot was
pecking at Instead of running away
as the others were in the habit of do
ing, the mascot opened his big wings,
struck the old leader and knocked him
several rect away.
The old eagle was so astonished at
this defiance Of his authority that he
made no further attempt to take the
meat. Since then the two have had
several little quarrels, and yesterday
they engaged in a battle for suprem-
acy that drew crowd of park visit

AS the old eagle was tearing a piece
Of meat with beak and talons, Teddy
came along and seized it. The old
eagles pugnacity was aroused, and,
opening his wings, he 9put after the
other and sprang upon him. The mas
cot turned and both went at it with
wing and talons. The breast feathers
flew from each. They dHew back from
each other several feet, stretched out
their heads, and, opening their wings,
sprang into the air toward each other.

parently having had enough of the
fight, hoped off behind one Of the piles
of stones on which the other eagles,

perched as spectators Of the contest.

ers and resumed eating, and for the
remainder Of the day strutted around

SCHURZ STANDS OUT,
He Cannot Vote for Roosevelt for
Governor of New York.


NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Carl Schurz
has written a long letter declaring his
intention to vote for the independent
state ticket (which has Theodore Ra-
con at the top and Col Waring at the
bottom" Mr.. Schurz has ALWAYS been
independent in politics, and explains
his position against Roosevelt as fol-
lows:
When he was first spoken of as a
candidate for the gOVernorship great
ly wished and hoped to be able to sup
port him, and 1t is no mere empty fig
ure of speech when 1 say that with
painful reluctance I have come to AN
adverse conclusion.
Can 1 agree with those Of our
friends who think that Col. Roosevelt.
II made governor, will destroy Boss
Platt, who has been pronounced by DR..
I'arkhurst to be five times as bad as
Boss Croker? The case Of Gov. Black
has shown that a rebellious governor
cannot destroy q boss as long as the
boss controls the legislature and the
party organization"
Mr.. Schurz violently objects to Mr..
Roosevelt's expressed foreign policy,
and, as he seems to fear the colonies
presidential aspirations, argues on the
point at length, saying in part:
Moreover, 1t Is by no means improp-
er to point out the fact that an cleo
ton to the governorship Of New York,
as 1t repeatedly has been, may again
become in Col. Roosevelt's case the
stepping stone to the nomination for
the presidency.
Col. Roosevelt deserves much honor
for his gallant conduct in the Santiago
campaign, but I would not put him In
a position nor open the way to place
him in position where he would ex-
ercise any influence upon the foreign
policy of the republic, for I candidly
believe that, owing to his exceptionally
