DRESS WITH A NOTE.
Probable Suicide Of 15-Year-OId
Girl at kenosha-No Clue
to Identity.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 11.-[Special. j
The police of this city are of the opinion
that young girl took her own life by
throwing herself into the lake near this
city yesterday morning. The opinion of
the police is based on IL bundle which
was turned over to them yesterday after
noon and which two boys living along
the lake shore report that they found on
the beach yesterday morning. The bun
die contained 4 dress evidently belonging
TO a girl about - years of age. 1t was
carefully folded and on the outside of it
was found note as follows:
My father and mother abused and
kept me working hard, SO l thought it best
to end my life now. Here is my dress.
Goodby all
There was no signature to the note
which might lead to the discovery of
the identity of the writer and the matter
has SO far proved a puzzle to the police.
People living near the lake report that
young girl was seen walking along the
breakwater at an early hour in the morn
ing, but was not known to any OF them.
Thus far no one has been discovered
missing from the city and no one has
appeared to claim the garment belonging
to the supposed suicide.

Thursday morning as a gift to the Fond
du Lac parish, which includes, besides
st. Paurs cathedral Grafton hall, a
school for girls, the boys choir school, the
canon's residence, the parish house and
several other pieces of property. 1t is
understood that the bishop has also sent
$4,000 as a gift to Grafton hall, and the
same is now in possession of Warden
Rogers, who has the school in charge.
The latter is based upon authority which
is said cannot be questioned.

was received from Bishop Grafton, stat
ing that 1T came in the form Of gift to
the parish. The provision is made that
the Indebtedness on the cathedral, organ,
the canon's home and the $500 for the
purchase Of the Dittmar property, which
is portion Of the grounds, be paid off,
and the Waterbury fund restored. Miss
Waterbury, cousin Of the first bishop
OF the diocese made a gift which was
put aside as the WATERBURY, fund. Later,
amounts We're borrowed from this fund
and the borrowed money is to be paid
back. After this is done the balance,
which, according to Treasurer Perry, will
amount to $4,000, will be set aside, the
principal to be held in reserve while the
income from the same can be used. A
meeting Of the laymen and officers Of the
church was held last evening, at which
time Il resolution Of thanks was drawn up
and forwarded to Bishop Grafton this
morning.

under the direct management Of the
bishop and it will probably be used for
the extensive improvements which have
been planned for next year.
The entire property of the Fond du
Lac diocese is free from indebtedness and
