idea thoroughly into their heads they
never amount to much, for they have
too man other things to do and think

They work on the theory that, though

the city authorities here to allow police

BOXERS CAUSE SUICIDE!
IGrosvenor Feared Louise Ra ndall
Had Been Massacred

Vienna, August 12.-Romance and
.pathos are unveiled by the story of the
suicide of Hon. Hugo Grosvenor, which
was recorded in a dispatch to The Sun
yesterday. Grosvenor, who was 81
years of age, was the second son of
Lord Ebury and secretary of the Brit
ish embassy here, having been trans
'ferred last year from Pekin, where he
had been an attache of the legation
since 1896.
During his residence in the Chinese
capital he became of Miss
Louise Randall, an attractive Ameri-
can missionary, who declined his atten-
lions. But even after his transfer his
thoughts We're frequently of her and,
fearing that she was mons the massa-
cred, he shot himself.
1t now appears hat Miss Randall re-
turned from China about six months
ago and at the time of Grosvenor's
suicide was visiting the Paris eXposi-
ton. 1t is said that the news of his
tragic death Frustrated her.

SOLDIERS Anu UMBRELLAS
Only In the Chinese Army is the Conn
binatfon Found.

Officers of the army or navy seldom
carry an umbrella and, indeed, are de-
cidedly opposed to the carrying of any
such protection, it matters not how
rough the weather is" said an officer
to a Star reparted. "Of course" he
continued, they could not carry it
while on duty, for it is no part of their
uniform, but they go so far as to de-
cline the use of an umbrella even in
their private life, though the moment
they go on the retired list this embar-
go is raised. The idea hat officers are
superstitious in regard to the use of an
umbrella is all nonsense. They don't
care for it simply because they learn
to do away with the necessity for it's
use by the use of gossamers, capes or
storm coats. The same prejudice
against an umbrella exists among SOL
diers and sailors. They are taught to
believe that it is for women, children
and old people to carry umbrellas. One
of the first lessons taught a soldier or
sailor is t o take whatever comes and
be thankful for it on b ground that
it might be worse. Unless soldiers or
sailors, officers or privates, get this
