sEAToN PERRY SUICIDES.
Wealthy Washington Dry Goods
Merchant Ends His Life.

Washington, D. G. Jan. 14.-Mr. Sea
ton Perry, for many years one Of the
leading dry goods merchants of Wash
ington, committed suicide by shooting
himself at an early hour this morning.
For some years he had been a sufferer
from insomnia brought on by nervous
ness, the result of close application to
his business.
The deceased was about AZ years Of
age and leaves family. He had
accumulated considerable money, and it
was his intention to retire from business
in a few years. His wife is also
wealthy in her own name.
The establishment conducted by Mr..
Perry had been doing business at its
present stand for over half century,
having been started BY the owners
father in 1910. 1t was probably the only
one Of the old regime of business houses
that lined Pennsylvania avenue, which
had kept pace with the progress OF the
city, and had met the competition
brought on by the establishment of de-
partment stores. His affairs are said to
have been in excellent condition.

THE SULTAN AND OUR MISSION
ARIES.


The Porte has demanded the recall OF
two American missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on the pretext that
their mission for distribution OF relief
is likely TO cause disturbances. "The
sick man of Europe" as he is derisively
termed, is as unreasonable as his politi-
cal health is feeble. As a bright con-
trast to his obstinacy and stupidity. the
people of America are acknowledging
far and wide the benefcence of the mis-
sion Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
namely, to relieve and prevent malaria,
rheumatism and kidney complaints
chronic dyspepsia, constipation and liver
trouble. The nervous, the weak and the
infrm derive unspeakable benefit from
its use, and it greatly mitigates those
infrmities specially incident to advanc-
ing years. Sleep, appetite, and a sensa-
ton of comfort throughout the system,
ensue upon its use, which should be
regular and persistent. An early resort
to this fine preventive is logically sug-
gested to those who seek it's aid,

compound as beyond all question the one
remedy that can be depended on the re-
new the vitality Of feeble persons.
This settled confidence in Paine's cele-
r. compound is not a hearsay belief, but
rests in nearly every case on personal
use OF acquaintance with men or women
who have been restored to useful health
by no other means. The rapid change for
the better in color, flesh and expression
OF the face is 80 unmjstakable that re-
pair OF the wasted tissues might well be
called q renewal Of life.
The process by which Paine's celery
compound is able to build up health in
the rundown body is not hard to under
stand when one observes how surely it
disposes the bowels TO act regularly. how
il increases the capacity to take and as
simulate food. and regulates the nerves
All over the body.
The heavy, alarming pain in the back
and lOins disappears; the growing pale
ness and loss Of flesh is stopped and a
bright, buoyant feeling gradually takes
the place Of that amending sense Of tire
and depression.
Paine's celery compound IS the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble.
thin-blooded, often hysterieal persons
whose greatest need is a thorough re-
furnishing Of their blood with the red
corpuscles upon which health and happi-
ness in sBch large measure depend.
The extraordinary virtue of Paine's
celery compound to increase the proper
ton Of red corpuscles in the blood is the
source of its great power over all blood
diseases, rheumatism. neuralgia. kidney
diseases, back aches. loss of flesh and
general rundown condition.

A special to the Dispatch says:
"Lockley showed great nerve to the
last The trap was sprung at 1921
o'clock, and ncath was instantaneous.
Locklcy made a full confession.
THE cI.ule was one of the most
fiendish in history of the country.
Locbley had teen living for several
years with j In Chapman, and on the
18th day Of lat October went to her
house and in fit of jealousy commenced
quarrel, which ended in a fight, When
the woman's nephew, George Lee,
started for an officer, Lockley seized his
gun and shot Lee; then shot at Charles
Chapman, but missed him. He then
shot Eddie Chapman, and when he saw
the woman trying to make her escape,
ran after her and shot her.
"Lockley made his escape, and got as
far as Philadelphia, where he was ar
rested and brought back for trial."

mony on the part Of the State against
AdoIUh L. Luetgert, the alleged wife
murderer, was finished to-day after 1913
hours in court. DR.. Dorsey was the last
witness and his DISCRIMINATION by
Attorney Harmon resulted disastrously
to the defense, the sausage makers
lawyers bringing oHt emphatic reitera-
tons Of matter material to the States
case. 3
When DIR. Dorsey finished Mr.. Har-
mon objected to the introduction of all
ethe evidence and testimony which had
Abeen offered by the State, motion
which the court overruled and then the
lawyer, after excepting, asked that the
State put Louis Luetgert on the stand,
his contention being that his name was
on the back of the Indictment. Assistant
States Attorney MeEwen replied that
when as lawyer he produced a wit
ness he vouched for his truthfulness,
and that as he could not vouch for the
integrity Of Louis Luetgert, he declined
to put him on the stand. The court
agreed with the prosecution, and then
notified Mr.. Harmon that he must be
ready to proceed tomorrow morning.

Tulane University, of Louisiana, has
honored itself by sconferring the degree
of Ii. d. upon Hon. Hann;s Taylor,
late Minister to Spain. If we are not
mistaken, the University of North Caro-
lima gave him this degree several years
ago. The recent articles and addresses
of Mr.. Taylor on Spain's attitude to
Cuba has given the public a clearer idea
of the question than they have obtained
from all other sources. The Mug

confidence, and if his advice were heed

A PRESIDENT WHO FACES TWO WAYS.

Mr.. Henry w. Peabody, a prominent
citizen of Boston, who has been spending
some time in Washington in the interest
of what he calls Currency REFORM" ex-
presses himself as well satisfied with
the Presidents attitude, quoting him as
saying he would use all ''proper in
fluence at the proper time" to secure ia
vorable action on the Gage bill.
About the same time another New
Engander, Senator Chandler, who writes
ably in favor of bimetallism, assures
the public that he has had an interview
with Mr.. Mckinley, and reports that
''the President is as good silver man
as / ann
We do not question that Mr.. Peabody
and Mr.. Chandler have both stated the
Presidents position as they understood
it. He agreed with both of them. His
attitude is that of the political trimmer,
an attitude that is despised by all honest
men in those aspiring to small positions.
In the President of the United States
it is so reprehensible as to become a
national scandal.
Mr.. Gage ayows it to be the object of
his bill to more firmly fix the gold stand
ard ais the financial policy of this coun-
try. Mr. Chandler avows that it is his
desire to end the gold standard and
have bimetalic basis. The two poll
cies radically differ, and there can be
no common ground between the two.
There are honest gold standard men as
there are honest bimetallists. They re-
spect each others convictions. Both
have contempt for men who try to
ride two horses at the same time that
are going in opposite directions. That
contempt is heightened if the straddler
occupies all exalted position.
