1t has developed that Frank H. Pc
ters. the chief clerk of the Union Mer-
camille company at Mercur, who COM
mitted suicide last Tuesday, was short
IN his accounts to the amount of about
$3.50. SO the reasons for his self-destruc-
ton seem TO be pretty well cleared uD.
James F. Marshall, the manager of
the Mercur store, was in the city last
night and verified the report of the de-
falcation.
Peters was formerly held in the high
esq esteem by his employers. He was
an exceptionally good accountant, and
UP TO about the first Of the year was
thoroughly trusted by them. About
that time it was noticed that he fire.
quented the gambling houses, drank
considerably and did other things
which led to the suspicion that his
expenditures would more than even up
with his income.
Reproached by Superiors.
Dissipation began to show upon him
physically, and he was taken to task
by the heads Of the firm and admOn-
ished to change his manner of living
if he expected to hold his position ard
retain the confidence that had been re
posed IN him. He promised TO do bet
ter, and for a time he kept it, But his
will power was too weak to withstand
the allUring temptations, and about
ten days ago fell back into the clutches
of vice again.
Peters condition became such that
the officers Of the institution could not
endure his inattention to their inter
estS, and he was asked last Sunday to
surrender the keys to the safe and the
books of the institution entrusted to
his keeping.
Mr.. Marshall said last night that if
had become known since the tragedy
that Peters was expecting his wife and
child to return to lIin1 next week from
the east, where they had been visit
ing. Probably the disgrace he had
brought upon himkplf weighed so heav-
lily upon his mind that he decided to
take his own life and avoid the hu-
initiation Of meeting them.
Acting under the instructions from
relatives, the remains were shipped to
this city from Mercur for burial last
night by Undertaken Watt, accompan-
led by a delegation of Elks, consisting
Of MeSsns. Heritage, French and MAR
The Golden Gate band headed the pro-
cession to the Mercur depot.

A LAWYERS READY ANSWER.
In which He Reelected Credit Upon
His Client as Well as
Himself.

An eminent lawyer, one of the most en-
lnent ID the United States, was IN the midst
of an argument before the supreme court in
defense OF the patent rights of his client to
a new-fangled collar button that was being
unlawfuIly manufactured by the people on
the other side of the case. The distin-
guished counsel was describing the patent
referred to, and its many advantages, says
the Kansas City journal, when Judge
Shiras interrupted him, and, in a most seri-
Gus manner, observed:
L should like to ask the learned counsel
II his client manufactures a collar button
that won't roll under the bed"
Of course the court was shocked. Some
young people in the seats reserved for spec
tators Uttered, and the marshal, rapping on
his desk with his gavel, roared: Silence in
this honorable COURT" The eminent coun-
sci maintained his gravity, although his
soul must have been deeply stirred, and
had presence of mind enough to turn the in
cident to his own advantage, saying with
emphasis:
I have the honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured by
my client is unique in that as well as in
other respects, but my client would not be
50 selfish as to patent so important a bene-
fit to mankind"

He Addressed the Jury.

A man who had never seen the inside of
a courtroom until he was introduced as a

ton with his back to the jury and began
telling his story to the Judge The judge, in
a bland and courteous manner, said: ''Ad-
dress yourself to the jury, sir" The man
what had been said to him, continued his
narrative. The judge was then more ex-
plicit, and said to him: Speak to the jury,
sir; the men sitting behind you on the
benches" The witness at once turned
around, and, making an awkward bow, said
with perfect gravity: Good morning, gen

BoER GOLD FOR AMERICA.
A London Paper says That Webster Davis
Received S125.0OO to Enthuss Amer
leans for the Boer Cause.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The London cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune
says that Douglas Story, the close
personal friend of President Kruger,
has a remarkable story over his own
signature in yesterday mornings
Mail. 1t bears the caption, Boer
Gold for America; True history of
a Sordid Intrigue" The article
charges Webster Davis, who, it is
said, permitted himself to be intro
duced to the Beers as the American
secretary of state, with having led
the Beers to believe he could by his
oratory so arouse the people of the
United States that intervention would
result. Davis is alleged to have been
paid $125,00O. 1t is believed in Lon
don that Mr.. Story speaks with the
permission, and some think, at the
expressed desire of Kruger, in detail
ing the mission of Davis to the
Transvaal. Davis, it is said, denies
the truth of the story.

ACT OF A MAD MOTHER.
Mrs. Lillian Smith Shoots Two of Her
Children, Gave Third CarbOIie Acid,
Then Committed Suicide.

New York, Oct. 6.-Mrs Lillian
Smith, of Inwood, borough of Man
haitian, while insane yesterday shot
her two children, Ethel, aged IL
years, and Theodore, aged eight years,
and then committed suicide by shoot
ing herself. Another child lies in
Fordham hospital at the point of
death as the result of carbolic acid
burns. Before shooting the children
Mrs. Smith, with the cunning of a
maniac, tried to force them to drink
carbolic acid. Long brooding over the
prospect of death is said to have been
the cause of the woman's insanity.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of Walter
NJ. Smith, who has been connected
with the grocery house of Austin,
Nichols & Co. for p years. Inwood,
the scene of the crime, is a suburban
settlement on the banks of the Hud-
son river just below Spuyten Duyvil.
Mrs. Smith had been married 13

NOTES FROM THE PARIS Ex-
POSITION.

''The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York.
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit, To-
Gated in Group XIII, Class 70, at the
Paris international Exposition. where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by Wis
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
international Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinction of absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received 81 distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
specially advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States
