BECAME DESPONDENT
UNABLE TO WORK, JEFFERSON
BROWN SHOT HIMSELF.
A Sad Story of MisfOrtune Following
Prolonged Illness-Death Occur
red Last Evening.

Jefferson Brown. about twenty-four years
old. whose home was at Centerville, Prince
Georges county, Nd, eleven miles east of
Anacostia. inflicted fatal pistol wound
upon himself at his residence last Wednes-
day afternoon late. from the effect Of which
he died last evening. His death had been
reported before result of the wound,
but the statement was premature one.
The physicians who were summoned to at
tend him held out no hope Of his recovery.
and his death was momentarily expected
after the firing Of the shot.
Brown was well known throughout the
neighborhood where he resided, and was
always looked upon as a young man of in
te!lgence. who would doubtless have been
most successful at his business of farming
had he been able to follow It properly. He
was, however. incapacitated by illness from
doing this. For over two years 1t is stated,
he had been the victim of a wasting con-
sumption. almost constantly under the care
Of physicians, and able only at times to
perform labor. For the last six months he
had been confined to his bed most of the
time. and it is said his final recovery was
not looked for, either by himself or his ply
sicians. His father being dead. the young
man had previously assisted hts mother and
others of his family by working. but when
he became quite Ill was prevented from
doing anything in that respect. These mat
tiers became sources of daily worry to him,
1t is stated. and he brooded over them he
became Respondent. Last Wednesday his
condition was such that his friends believe
he must have been temporarily irrespon-
sible for his act. He managed to procure a
loaded revolver from a sideboard in the
house. and concealed the weapon under his
pillow. 1t was shortly after o clock when
he fired the shot that terminated fatally.
The bullet took effect some distance below
the heart. The members of the household
who were near by heard the report Of the
pistol and upon running upstairs discovered
what had occurred. The wounded man was
unconscious. and messengers were imme-
diately dispatched for physicians. The bull
let was not probed for. 1t is stated. 1t was
evident that the young man had but short
time to live. and he fingered until last even
Ing. Residents of the section express great
sympathy for the unfortunate mans people.
Young Brown was unmarried. He was able
to converse before his death, and stated
that dependency over his condition and his
Ina bility to work were the causes Of his act.

Consul General Du Bots Describes q
Test Trip of the Machine.
Consul General Du Bols. at St. Gall. Swift
zerland has made report to the State De-
partment of a test Of Count zeppelin's air
ship, which took place at Manzell. on Lake
Constance, on the I'd instant.
"At 7 O'clock" says Mr.. Du Bois the
great ship. 124 meters (4O7 feet long and
twelve meters (thirty-nine feeO in diameter,
containing seventeen separate balloon COM
partments filled with hydrogen gas, was
drawn out Of the balloon house securely
moored to the float. In twenty minutes all
was ready for the ascent, and the ship LETT
its moorings, with Count Zeppelin in charge
OF one of the gondolas and Mr.. Eugene
Wolf, the famous explorer, in charge Of the
other. while Baron Bassus accompanied the
party as meteorOlogiSt. At the moment of
the ascent the wind was blowing at the rate
of about twenty-six feet per second giving
the operators good opportunity of testing
the thea ability L, Of the air wheels to propel the
shaped structure assembled slowly and
gracefully to about thirty feet above the
raft. The balances were adjusted as to
give the ship an ascending direction. The
propellers were set in motion and the air
ship. which has cost considerably over $780,
600 started easily on its interesting trial
AT first the ship moved east against the
wind for about two miles, gracefully turned
at an elevation Of about 400 feet and, max
ing q rapid sail to the westward for about
five miles, reached altitude of 800 feet
1t was then turned and headed once more
east. and after travelling about mile
against the wind blowing at the rate of
twenty-six feet per second. suddenly
stopped; floating slowly backward three
miles to the west. 1t sank into the lake, the
gondolas resting safely upon the water.
The time of the trip was about fifty min
utes: distance Travelled. about ten miles;
fastest time made, five miles in seventeen
the propelIers 600 per minute; highest pos
sible revolution, 100.
The cause of the sudden stoppage in the
flight Of the ship was occasohed by a slight
mtshap to the steering apparatus, but the
colossus hoated gently with the wind until
1t settled upon the surface Of the lake
without taking any water. The raft was
then brought up and the ship was easily
placed upon it and brought back to the bal
loon house. The weight is 200 centners CO..
900 pounds). The cost of filling the balloon
with hydrogen gas was $1,000"

DEMOCRATS DELIGHTED.
The Announcement That Bryan Will
Wake imperialism Prominent.

The announcement from Lincoln. Neb.,
that Bryan will devote his speech of ac-
ceptance almost entirely to Imperialism
sends thrill of delight to many democrat
ic hearts. The chief anxiety OF a large
percentage Of democratic politicians since
the Kansas City convention has been as TO
Bryan's course on the occasion of his noti-
ficati0n. The fear has been entertained that
he would then bring the money question to
the front with the same persstency which
marked his course during the contest over
the platform. The announcement of Diff
ferent course fs. therefore. the occasion or
great rejoicing. even among some of the
most pronounced silver men. Their first
anxiety might have been less II they had
realized that one OF the reasons Bryan was
so persistent in demanding that the sixteen
to one line go into the platform was that
he wanted to dispose of 1t by putting 1t
into the platform that there would be
no charge of reputation. and then let 1t
stay there without special notice from any
democrat for the rest of the campaign.

communication to Col. Love:
The orders relieving you as adiutant
general of the District of Columbia militia
having been received by me, I deem this
the most fitting time to give expression to
my official and personal appreciation of the
services rendered by you to this organiza-
ton. Assigned to duty as adjutant general
"hen the brigade was In process of reor-
ganization, your task was great and on
erous. Adverse conditions had to be prompt
ly yet automatically dealt with
Occasionally tealousies and petty friction
needed careful attention The office routine
had TO be established. There was need Of
systematic instruction along more than one
line. To these things you addressed your
SELF with remarkable energy and success,
despite the physical disability consequent
upon the wound received by you in the
Philippines. Today we can clearly see
throughout the brigade many of the results
of your unselfish labors
This command parts from you most
regretfully and will miss the courageous
young officer who at his own request has
been relieved from agreeable duty in order
that he may serve with the colors in the
far east
Trusting that health. opportunity and
promotion may be yours. 1 am. most sin

Then just as the benefits are being reaped
1t is necessary to pull up stakes and return

1t Is hoped that with an increased appro-
priation and a suitable payment of the
troops longer encampments may be posi-
