FORTUNE CAME LATE.
WEALTH PILES UP FOR MAN
WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.
James Moyle's Strange Iife-Made and
Lost -Four Great Fortunes-Had He
Bnved Temporary Dinsculties He Would
Have Been Rich To-Day.



When James w. Moyle, for the first
time in his long and eventful life.
found himself unable to meet a bill
which was presented to him for pay
ment, he became Respondent, and, in
a moment Of insanity committed sui
eide by throwing himself into the
North river. That was six weeks ago.
His body was recovered a day or two
ago.
Had Moyle breasted the tide Of ad-
versity a few days longer he would
have found himself again a man of
wealth. Mining claims in Montana,
purchased long ago, have Just been
found to be of great value. They are
now being worked, and are producing
ores rich with copper, gold and silver
deposits. Apparently, there is no foun-
dat!On for the report which was cir
culated that Mr.. Moyle was the victim
Of an assassin. When the body was
found floating in the river by a fisher
man, he knotted a rope around the
neck and towed it to the Jersey
shore. Others, seeing the rope and no.
ticing that 1t had worn away the ten
der skin, concluded that a murder had
been committed by a stranger. Thus
the umo of foul play started. In
truth, every indication points to sui
eide. For years James w. Moyle had
spent much Of his time in New York,
and when in the city always made his
home at the Hoffman house. It only
would have been necessary for him to
have asked for an extension Of credit
and he might have lived at the hotel
until his affairs were in better condi-
ton. He was too sensitive to make
known his trouble, and 30 on April 10,
Mr.. Moyle found In his letter box a
bill for his room and board for the
month Of March, and in his pocket no
funds with which to pay. That day
he disappeared, and though his friends
hunted the city over for him, and plac-

NEWSPAPERS AGAINST BRYAN.

A day or two hence the country is
likely to hear that old charge from
Bryan that the press of the United
States is subsidized against him. That
1896, and there will be the same rea-
son for it this year. Practically all the
newspapers of ability and character
in the country, except in the silver
mining states and in the south, were
hostile to Bryan four years ago, and a
glance over the roll of the papers
which are repudiating the re-
pudiators' party since the Kansas City
convention will show hat the ele-
ments which were against the Bryan
lite infamy in 1896 will be against it
in 1900.
Aside from the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Chicago Chronicle and the
Baltimore Sun, all the democratic
newspapers of ability and standing
which were hostile to Bryan -four years
age are d%enouncing hin today. The
st. Paul Globe, the Hartford Times, the
New Haven Register, the Chattanooga
Times, the Detroit Free Press, the
Brookly Eagle, the Philadelphia Rec
ord, and dozens of other democratic
journals which fought the rotten mon
ey iniquity in 1896 are doing the same
thing in 1900. With them stand such
representative independent journals as
the Boston Herald, the New York
Times and the New York Evening Post.
All these papers and scores of others
which are not mentioned here, but
which supported Cleveland in 1892.
are on the republican side in this can
vass, as they were in the preceding one
in which Mckinley was elected.
So far as regards the attitude of the
great newspapers of the country, Bry-
ans situation is practically the same
now as it was four years ago. The sup
port which is to be given to Bryan by
such honest money papers as the Cour-
i%er-Journal, the Chicago Chronicle and
the Baltimore Sun, from present indi-
cations, will be h~alf-hearted and per-
f%unctory. 1t will help Mckinley rather
than Bryan. No mar or newspaper on
the sound money side can possibly
support the unsound one candidate
with any heartiness. So far as Bryan
himself and his party can make the is
sue, base none will be the paramount
question in the canvass this year, and
this circumstance will, of course, en-
der Bryan's chances of election hope
less. The n~inety-five majority which
Mckinley had in the electoral college
in 1896 will probably be exceeded in
1900, and the scores of independent and
democratic papers which are assailing
Bryan and his follies and absurdities
will help materially to roll up this in
creased anti-Bryan Observation-Disclosures
