A Horrible Suicide.

An aged lady, named Mrs. Charles
Eichstad met with a terrible death by
placing herself in front of the Port
Townsend Southern train Tuesday af-
ternoon, as it was about to enter the
trestle at Warren's Point, between this
city and Tumwater.
Mrs. E. was resident of the falls
suburb and lived with her daughter,
Matte, about ten years of age. For
some time past it has been noted that
her mind was failing. and when, Tues.
day morning, her absence was reported
by the child, it was surmised at once
that she may have made way with
herself, and search was made of the
flats at low tide in the belief that she
might possibly have drowned herself.
M. Cusack, Tumwater's City Marshal,
instituted a search for the old lady,
and must have passed within few feet
of her as she lay hid near the point
where the tragedy occurred, for he
passed over. the track on his return to
Tumwater few minutes before the
train came in. The woman was seen
by the engineer when she sprang in
front of the engine, but too late to do
anything towards stopping the mo-
mentum of the train. Her death must
have been nearly instantaneous, for
her head was cut by a great cash which
bled profusely.
Coroner Han tsock and Undertaken
Bates were notified and Immediately
proceeded to the scene of disaster and
cared for the remains. The husband
of the woman is a millwright, EN-.
ployed at Ballard. He was immedi-
ately notified of the occurrence and
came up Wednesday. The sympathy
of the whole community goes out to
the afflicted daughter who is thus
early in life deprived of her main pro-
tector.

law was too coed to be true. There j.
no doubt that the Standard Oil trust
and a score Of others are constantly
violating the Antitrust law, but the
obligations OF the present administra.
ton to trusts, as we'll as the close bust
ness relations existing between some
of the men who now dominate the
Republican party with trusts, are such
that nothing short of actual convic.
tion of them would convince anybody
that any serious prosecution OF trusts
will take place under this adminis,ra.

paign opens there may be bluff made
towards prosecuting trusts, for the
benefit of the very gullible voters.
Mr.. Daniel O'Leary, Chief Factory
Inspector Of New York, testified before
the Industrial Commission, now sit.
ting in Washing on, that he had re.
ported to the War Department some
time ago that clothing for the U. S.
army was being made in the sweat
shops of New York city, which shows
how much sincerity there is in the
claim of the Republican party to be
the friend OF the working classes. Mr..
OIeary said the prices paid for this
work were about as follows: Goats
32a cents, infantry pants % cents, cav
airy pants from &c to 80 cents, and
vests from IL to ii cents. Nice friend
ship, to be a party to making men and
women work for such prices, isn't it?
There are reasons for saying that
some sensational testimony will be
given in support OF the charges OF
General Miles when the Military Court

needless trip to Chicago. The latest
rumor is that the canned meat which
made so many soldiers sick will be
proved to have been horse. meat and

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Capt. Charles Hopkins Resident of the
Coast Half a Century.


Capt. Charles Hopkins, q pioneer OF
the Coast and this State, died at his
home in Seattle, Tuesday afternoon, at
the age of so years. He had been a
sufferer from q complication OF physi-
cal ailments the past two years. A
few weeks ago, it became necessary for
him to undergo surgical operation,
which although successful gave but an
uncertain hope of recovery.
Mr.. Hopkins was born in Genoa,
Cayuga county, New York, in 1919.
lie was direct descendant of Esek
Hopkins, the distinguished naval COM
mander in 1875.
Mr.. Hopkins came to California in
1919 and engaged for while in mer-
camille pursuits, he then went to Ore
gon and engaged in the lumber business
with his headquarters at Milwaukee, in
those times a rival for supremacy with
Portland. 1t was here tina. he welded
Lucy +. Baker, daughter of Col. E.
D. Baker, first United States Senator
from Oregon, patriot and soldier who
died at the head of his regiment at
Balls Bluff, during the civil war, his
body fairly riddled with rebel bullets.
In 1868, Mr.. Hopkins was appointed
U. S. Marshal for the Territory OF
Washington, a position he held for ten
years. A part of the time of this SER
vice he resided in Olympia, afterwards
removing to Seattle, which city has
almost ever since been his home. He
has led somewhat retired life, de.
voting himself to his studies. He was
a classical scholar and we'll read in
current literature OF the day.
Capt. Hopkins leaves a family con.
sisting Of his wife, three sons and a
daughter. His eldest son, Charles B.
Hopkins, is the general manager of
the Inland Telephone and Telegraph
Company, stationed at Spokane;
Robt. NJ. Hopkins is deputy clerk of
the United States court of the Ninth
judicial district; Ralph S. Hopkins
was until recently at the head of the
Treen Shoe Co., of Seattle, and the
daughter, Miss Carrie B. Hopk ms, re-
sides at the family home.

Important to Mothers.
Philadelphia Bulletin.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled .o spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated
by reason of pirates counterfeiting the
Castoria trademark. This counter.
feiting is crime not only against the
proprietors Of Castoria, but against
the growing generation. All persons
should be careful to see that Castoria
bears the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher, if they would guard the
health of their children. Parents and
mothers, in particular, ought to care.
fully examine the Castoria advertise
ments which have been appearing in
this paper, and to remember that the
wrapper of every bottle of genuine
Castoria bears the fac-simile signature
of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whose SUI
pervision it has been manufactured
continuously for over thirty years.

AS indicating some of the shiftless
work of overpaid employees of the Leg
islature, the loss of an important bill
amply shows. A bill which passed
both branches of the Legislature and
was ordered transmitted to the Gov
ernor, has never reached the executive
office, if he can be believed, (and in
this instance no object could be SUBJ
served by lying.) The bill provided
for investment of the permanent
school fund of the State, and was an
exceedingly meritorious measure, by
which annually many thousands of
dollars would have accrued to the
State, by investment of some $500, 900
in State, county, school district, or
United States bonds. A diligent
search has been made for the bill
without success.
Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Billings
and Charles Hartsuck, his deputy,
started with Jack Cronin for the peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla. No trouble
was experienced with the desperate
man this time. After his wound had
been dressed by DR.. Redpath, he was
told that he was now we'll enough to
make the trip, and when the Sheriff
stepped forward with the handouts no
resistance was made to DOMINIC the
shackles. Cronin was then led to the
street between the two officers and
placed on a cot in the wagon and
slowly driven to the depot. Quite a
crowd was present, drawn by curiosity,
to witness his departure. He was
placed in the baggage car, and left
with the Sheriff and his deputy on
guard to see him safely placed in the
State prison.

Last Saturday James Miller, ten
ant of Mr.. Higgins, made vicious
assault upon the latter with Il pocket
knife, cutting Il cash on his throat
about four inches in length, but doubt
less owing to the dizziness of the weap-

not in cutting order, or there might

The disgraceful proceedings at Ward

expect public support and sympathy
when violence and the destruction of
property by mobs, recruited from

complaint by the mine workers, moth

tally with which the rejected men and
their recruits from other points went
about the destruction of property and

incite mutinous discomfort among the

cendiary communications calculated to
slack the ardor Of their patriotic attack
