Long Since Obsolete

The supplement of 10000 so-called new
words, which some of these books are adver-
tised to contain, was compiled by a gentle
man who died over forty years ago., and was
published before his death. Other minor
additions are probably of more or less value.

GIVES A FALSE IMPRESSION.

a young man wearing uniform al
most identical with that Of an army OIL
Ger, has been engaged in selling. books IN
Portland known as the official records
Of the Standardization war. The young
man claimed to represent the Bureau
of War Records Of the War Department
and the impression he gave was that he
was an agent for the department in the
distribution of these books. Dispatches
from the War Department. stated that no
official records of the Spanish-American
war have been authorized and that the
War Record bureau has ceased to exist.
What this young man has been selling
has been a pictorial history of the Span
ish war, published as private venture.
Complaint has besn made against this
method of selling books to the pOstmas-
ter general, who will put stop to it If
it is in his power to do so.

JUMPED OVERHEARD.
Suicide on the Governor DIngIey on
Her Trip Saturday Night.

On the trip Of the Boston steamer
Gov. DingIey-to this city Saturday night,
when the steamer was OF Bakers island
at the entrance to Boston harbor. the
men in the pilot house were notified that
a man had jumped overheard. The man
was about 40 or 40 years of age. He had
been noticed when he came on board and
it was thought he was partially intcxi-
Gated, but he did not seem to be in a
condition to require any attention. The
man went on to the fantaiI, the semi
circular deck at the rear Of the saloon
and sat there. AS the steamer neared
Bakers island a passenger saw the
man rise and remove his overcoat which
he placed upon seat. The passengers
paid little attention to this movement,
but a second later was Mortified to see
the man climb over the rail and plunge
into the water. The passenger was for
a few minutes so excited that there was
delay in notifying the officers and 1t is
thought that ten minutes elapsed be-
fore the word reached the pilot house
anu tuO 0uS1uSs were E6F0Is6us Lit
steamer was backed to the point where
the man disappeared as near as the off,
GERS could judge, but in the darkness it
was impossible to get any trace Of him
and he had very likely already sunk be-
meath the water. Ali that there was to
brow any light on the identity Of the
suicide were two envelopes found in the
pockets Of the overcoat. They were ad-
dressed to Richard ". Sprague, Merriek,
Massachusetts.
The man stated when he came on board
that he was going to his home In Lewis
ton.
Yesterday General Manager Liscomb
told a PRESS reporter that he had OBJ
tanned no fuller information as to the
Identity Of the man. He said that a tax
bill made out against Richard W.Sprsgue
of West Springfield, Mass, had been
found in the mans effects, but that was
all. The chief OF police at West Spring
Held was notihedsby telegraph, but up to
last night nothing had beenFheard from
him or from the mans relatives.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Considerable
miscellaneous business was transacted
in the house. but much of it was of a
minor character. The most important
bills passed were one to ratify treaty

tary of the interiate with the Kiowa
and Commanches for neutral strip in
Oklahoma.
During the consideration of bill to
incorporate the Frederick Douglass
Memorial and Historical association the
speaker and Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, ex.
changed sharp words, with the result
that the latter inaugurated a filibustei
and ultimately prevented the final pas-
sage of the bill by demanding the read
ing of the engrossed bill. The bill pro
poses to collect at the residence of the
late Frederick Douglass, in this city, a
record of the anti-slavery movement,
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, was ap

DEATH OF HENNESSY.
The Archbishop Expired at Dubuque, Ia.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
Present When He Died.


DUBUQUE, Ia, March 6.-Most Rev.
John Hennessy, first archbishop of Iowa,
died here, aged IA years. In March of
last year he was first stricken with par
tiai paralysis of the brain. Although
for days at the point of death, he recov-
cred, and was well until the evening of
Feb. 10, when he was again stricken.
Friday night he was seized with another
stroke and, although his attendants ex-
pected death every moment, he rallied
slightly, and when Archbishop Ryan, of
Philadelphia, arrived Sunday morning
he showed signs Of recognition, being
unable to speak, however. He then be-
gan to sink, and, at 2:25 p. M, passed
away quietly and without sign of pain.
Surrounding the bedside at the
time were Archbishop Ryan, Mon
signor Ryan, Fathers Toomey, Coney
and Donlon, the archbishop's brother
and sister, DR.. Slattery and four
sisters of the Holy Ghost order. Pray
ers for the dead were read by Mgr.
Ryan and responded to by Archbishop
Ryan, the priests and Others present.
Just as death occurred the great bell on
the cathedral tolled the notification to
the people of the city. The funeral
will take place Thursday morning at 10
o'clock. Archbishop Ryan, of Phila-
delphia, who preached the sermon when
Rev. Hennessy was bishop, and at the
silver jubilee, and again when he was
made archbishop, will pronounce the
eulogy. The body will lie in state at
the cathedral on Wednesday. All the
leading church dignitaries will be here.
