Lowelrs Little Friends.

James Russell Lowell had tube laid
on from the main for supplying with
fresh water such dish (of water for
squirrels and birds) as I have described
on the lawn in front of Elmwood and
about his house the squirrels and birds
were only disturbed by the cats. In
front of his bedroom window a pair of
gray squirrels had nested, and in his
last illness he took great pleasure in
watching their gambols in their elm
tree home. 1t must have been one of
the last pleasures the outdoor world
gave him, and the incident was told me
by his dying daughter. looking out from
the same windows. when l saw her last
autumn, just before she died, and the
descendants of the squirrels he watch
ed were playing still in the same tree.
The same water dish served the
thrushes and the orioles which prompt
ed some of his finest nature notes.

ENDED HIS LIFE.
Eugene G. Brown Shoots Himself
While Despondent.

Eugene c. Brown, a boilermaker, who
had worked for some years in the
tank" at the railroad shops, commit
ted suicide by shooting himself in the
right temple at 8 p. m. yesterday.
The unfortunate man, who was labor
ing under hallucinations induced by ex-
cessive drinking, committed the act in
the bedroom Of his home, 2531 P street,
while his wife and little daughter were
absent from the house for half an hour,
and when they returned the body had
been removed to the Morgue.
He had been very moody for a
week. said Mrs. Brown last night, "and
threatened to kill himself, but I hid the
revolver. He found it, however, while
we were away"
H. D. Hurd, a neighbor, was the first
person on the scene. He was attracted
by the noise of two shots, and when
he entered the house Brown was
already dead.
Deceased was a native Of New York
and was 40 years of age. He was a
Knight of Honor, and was well known
in the city. He leaves widow and one
child, a little girl.

ACCIDENT TO THE BALLOON.
Why Aeronaut Collier Did Not Use
His Parachute.

The balloon ascension and parachute
leap at Oak Park yesterday afternoon
was not a pronounced success, owing to
the inability of Aeronaut Collier to
properly initiate the balloon in the
breeze that was blowing. It was near
ly sundown when the ropes were cast
loose. The balloon arose about forty
feet and almost Immediately started to
descend. Under the circumstances it
was impossible to cut loose the para
chute and the aeronaut landed without
difficulty.
Concerning the failure to ascend,
Professor Collier made the following
statement to a Record Union" re-
porter:
Il feel it my duty to make an ex-
PLANTATION regarding my ascension this
evening, as there was not parachute
drop in connection with it. The rea-
son was that the wind carried the bal
loon over the fire and burned a hole
about five feet in diameter on the side,
and the crowd became alarmed and re-
fused to hold it down until I could
gather it in and let go.
THE result was it arose and I went
along with it, hoping it would rise high
enough to jump, but I was disappointed
more even than those who assembled
to witness the ascension"

HER sUFFERINGs ENDED.
Death Last Evening Of Mrs. j. A..
BeckleY.

After two years of severe suffering
death came last evening to Mrs. Kath-
crime Frances Beckley, wife of J. A.
Beckley of this city. Mrs. Beckley. it
will remembered, had a narrow escape
from being burned to death in the fire
that destroyed the hotel at Alta in Sep
tember, 1897. She received injuries at
that time from which she never recov
cred.
Deceased was daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Kunz. She was born and
reared in Sacramento, and was loved
and esteemed by her associates of girl
hood days, and all that knew her later
as friend, wife and mother Though
long a sufferer, she was patient and
accomplishing, and met the inevitable
with the calmness and fortitude of one
whose life was without flaw.
Besides her husband, parents, broth
ers and sisters, Mrs. Beckley leaves a
little daughter to mourn her loss.

Time to Plant Bulbs.

'This is the time of the year in
which to set out bulbs Prepare the
ground for them before they are re-
ceived by having it dug up to a depth
of at least a foot-a foot and a half is
better-and worked over until it is mel
low" writes Eben E. Rexford. in the
September Ladies Home Journal" :"
Mix with it a. liberal quantity of old
rotten manure from the cowyard, or, if
this is not obtainable, use bonemeal in
the proportions of one pound to
square yard of soil. If the soil is
naturally heavy, it is we'll to add con-
siderable sand to make it lighter and
more porous. Plant the bulbs as soon
as possible after they are received. as
they are greatly injured by exposure to
the air. Set tulips and hyacinths six
inches deep, smaller bulbs from four
to five inches. All bulbs should be
placed five or six inches apart, and
each kind kept by itself''
