Terry says that he has been
acquainted with the dead man
about three months. He frs,
met Mathis in Charlotte, N. O.,
about three months ago, and
since that time has been almost
constantly in his company. During
the summer months they grad
ually worked their way north and
finally landed in New York. They
worked at their trade as printers
every place they could secure
employ ment.
Mathis is said to be well con,
nected in Lancaster. where his
mother resides.
He was 81 years old and un
married. With Terry
he came to this city. Both put
up at the Globe hotel on Wooster
and Union streets. Terry saws
that Mathis remained there until
Monday night, since which time
he had not seen him.
The loaded revolver found in
Mathis possession belonged to
Terry, who says that he doesn't
know how it came into the dead
mans possession.
The loss of the $50 and con-
tinued failure to secure steady
employment made Mathis despon
dent and Terry believes that he
had ended his life while brooding
over his hard luck. When Terry
saw him last Monday night Ma
this was feeling down hearted but
said nothing that would indicate
that he intended to commit sui
eide.
The dead man has a brother
named Marion Mathis living at
Yorkville, S. G. Terry belongs in
North Carolina and knows moth
ing about the dead man except
what he has learned since. meet
ing him three months ago.
The authorities will notify his
brother Of his death at once and
it is probable that the body will
be sent south for burial. The
Typographical Union cannot take
any steps to care for the body oi
the dead printer owing to the fact
that he has destroyed his mem
bership card. The officials of the
International Union will be tel
egraphed to concerning the case

The Sad Death of This Unf0rtu.
nate Young Man.

The following account from the
New Haven Evening Leader of
September Goth gives the partic-
ulars of the sad death of Kinloch
G. Mathis
The body of a man who was
identified as Kinloch q. Mathis
of Lancaster, S. g., was found
about 7 O'clock this morning on
the grounds in the rear Of the
Farnam residence at 43 Hillhouse
avenue.
The body was found by the
coachman and was lying under a
pine tree not far from the Whit
ney avenue entrance to the
grounds. The grounds are not
very extensive, running from Hill
house avenue back 10 Whitney
avenue. The man had ended his
life by committing suicide and
had evidently entered the place
through the Whitney avenue gate
during the night
a bottle containing about 80
grains of morphine was found
near the BODY. He had swal
lowed considerable quantity of
the drug and had been dead sew
eral hours when found by the
coachman.
When the body was found
word was sent at once to the cen
trail police office and the ambu
lance with officer Hayes in charge
went to the Farnam residence.
The body was removed to Beech
er Il Benefits undertaking cs-
tablishment where Medical Ex

decided that death was probably
due to dose Of morphine taken
with suicial intent.
Nothing was found on his per
son giving any clue to his identi-
ty. Everything that would afford
clue had evidently been re.
moved before he took the fatal
dose
DIR. White found that the dead
man was five feet nine inches
tall, had brown hair, and light
blue eyes. He thought he was
about 81 years Of age, whicl,

THE LIGHT ARTIST.
An Important Factor Nowadays q.
the Designing of Houses for
the Wealthy.

AS people are gradually coming TO
realize that hot and badly ventilated
rooms mean debility and eventual sick
ness, the ventilation engineer" has
taken his place on the staff on which
the architect relies for the carrying out
OF his designs in dwelling construction.
Side by side with this improvement in
the hygienic conditions of the interior
OF houses has arisen new conception
of the aesthetic possibilities of artificial
light, and in the erection of the modern
houses Of the wealthy classes the light
artist" has become very important
parsonage. A well-known light de-
signer talks entertainingly on the sub
ject. lie compares light with happi.
ness, which is all a matter of contrast.
and must he treated accordingly. He
tells how Alma Tadema, in London, has
a small door to his atrium, in order that
its size may be the more felt on enter
ing; so must the degree of light be
graduated throughout the building.
On entering a dimly-lit hall from the
dark il appears brilliant; but this.
again, must be eclipsed by the light of
the reception rooms. So there should
be, as - good photograph light and
dark portions, and semi-tones. for
room fit equally throughout gives fiat
effect, and is neither artistic nor rest
full. II should not he forgotten that the
pupil of the human eye has consider
sble power of expansion and contrac-
ton, and in the presence of bright
light an involuntary contraction takes
place. Reading under such conditions
is destructive TO the eye. Frost your
lamp, and though you get actually ten
per cent. less light, you get apparently
more, for il is dtfused Thus the secret
Of restful light is the illumination of
n large surface with an absence of daz-
cling blotches. In room thus liz the

A SIGNIFICANT EVENT.
imperative Departure OF the Troop

An unwonted event took place in
New York harbor lately. a great
steamship. belonging TO the United

might be used permanently as n mill

Grant. There she fired a salute of q
guns, and her bands slowly and sol

No circumstance of pomp, no empha-
sis Of official recognition, were omitted
in the dispatch of this ship. The sec
rotary of war stood on her deck when
she fired her farewell guns at the base
Of the great generals tomb. The sol
diers were in uniform as on dress pa
rade, and the huge ship and its crowd
