DIR. THOMAS OsMOND SUMMERS SHOOTS
HIMSELF IN THE HEAD-POETICAL
FAREWELL TO THE WORLD


ST. Louis June 5l-Dr Thomas osmond Sum-
mers late surgeon in charge OF the fever hospital
at Santiago and noted yellow-fever expert. shot
himself through the head last night. Dependency
caused by fancied lack OF appreciation OF his ser
vices by the Government in the Spanish war Is
assigned the for the act. DR.. Summers
the author Of several standard medical works,
and his successful treatment OF yellow-fever cases
In the Memphis epidemic OF 1873 gave him Ma
tional reputation. DR.. Summers was professor OF
anatomy in the ST. Louis College OF Physicians and
Surgeons. The deed committed in his lecture
as he stood facing skeleton. which he used
in Illustrating his lectures.
Or. Summers wrote several letters a short time
before his death. One was addressed to his wife
and another to DR.. ". j. Donohue, OF this city
On the letter-head OF the St Louis College OF Phy-
sicians and Surgeons was written a poem. IT is as
follows:

The letter 70 his wife was as follows:
June ls 1899
Ny Darling Wife: | have reached this point
where Azraels thread is all that is left TO me. /
feel well assured that your love and esteem Will
drown my memory when they could not bless my
life. I die that you might live Think OF me as l
was in the PALMER days OF my life. and let the
mantle OF your charity cover those faults which
were more lnfrmities than sins engendered In de-
spondency and cultivated by disappointment.

heart that you may know its last throes beat Tor
you and the dear leave with such nenaole
sorrow. Goodby. OSMOND'
The letter TO DR.. Donohoe sealed. There
were other letters referring TO the suicide, but Dr.
sparn who accompanied the corpse TO the morgue,
and his companions objected TO them being given
for publication. and the police sergeant locked
the letters up.

NEW ORLEANS, March 25.-The
Crescent City Jockey Clubs winter
meeting ended in a blaze of glory this
afternoon. Slightly cloudy weather
made 1t cooler and the track was fast.
A double bill was presented, the New
Orleans handicap and the Crescent City
Derby being its features. In the first
race Lady Ellerslie equaled the track
record for six furlongs, and in the New
Orleans handicap AL Fresco, cleverly
handled by Mutt, reduced the track
record here a second.
The Derby was called at 4:15 p. m.

In reference to the latter principle he
said:

the public schools. Chicago believes it
and professors need sixteen weeks rest
out of the year, If the time is en-
ployed by the students to earn money
for college or the professors to do in
dividual research work it is different.
If employed merely for rest it is abb
surd. Men who have the burdens of the
world on their shoulders do not need
so much time for idleness. Why should
healthy students waste so much timer"
He ended his talk by congratulating
Stanford on the fact that her average
student came to her from a home over

day since his millions endowed. her
Both are doing the same work, but they
believe in pursuing different methods. ;"
In conclusion the noted teacher told
of the work Chicago University was
doing. He spoke of it's labors along ex-
tension lines, the extent of which made
it necessary to have a separate faculty
to lecture throughout different States
and conduct educational work without
the college walls, making it possible
for those who were not fortunate
enough to go to college to acquire an
education. His college, he said, stood
for two other principles-the necessity
of assisting the weaker colleges to be-
come strong, or, in other words. affilia-
ton, instead of the exclusiveness of the
older Eastern universities, and the

ing educator would consent to speak OF
the work of his own university.
The speaker first called attention to
the friendly relations existing between
the two colleges, due to the fact that
both undertook their great work at
about the same time and that their
aims were similar He pointed out the
advantages a. that both possessed in be-
ing upon private foundations and free
from any responsibility to politicians.
State institutions, he claimed, were as
much a necessity as private ones, how
ever.
.Thev are" he said, 1.-The two arms,
and with either gone education would
be lamed.
"It is a remarkable thing" he con-
tinued, that the newest two of the

opened as the present wave of higher
education began to spread over the
country. Now there are twice as many
students preparing for college as there
were ten years ago, and there is no
longer the absurd cry of too many in
stitutions' This can never be, for 1t
is impossible to have too many colleges
as long as they are properly equipped"
In speaking of the differences be-
tween the two colleges, President Har-
per called attention to Stanford's 5000
acres and Chicago's twenty seven; to
our freedom and open air work and
their cramped quarters in a crowded
city. The greatest difference, he said,
was In Stanford having its benefactress

every detail of the work.

the Southern boy should go North, the
Eastern boy come West and the West
ern boy study in the East, If he would
be broadened, for in his mind. there
was much in the story that the narrow
est man in the world was the one who
was born in Boston and educated there,
obtaining a degree from Harvard and
settling in Massa achusetts for life.
DR.. Harper's tribute to DR. Jordan
was a glowing one. He said no act in

and nerve and result than that accom-
