DESPONBBNCY
LED TO DEATH

Chicago, April l0.AThe slums Of
West Taylor street offered no Rope to
l4-year-old Willie Grossman, 30 he
hanged himself In his wretched little
home In the rear Of No 1873.
He wanted to become great artist
Night after night, by the light Of a
smoky lamp, he worked and studied
at his own creations. His childish
hands made pictures that gave prom
ise Of great things, but one thing
stung his artistic temperament to the
quick--if was the slum, In which pov.
erty compelled him to liye.
Ills dreams ended when his mother
found him hanging dead to bed-post
with this note beside him:
"Dear Mother; Forgive your loving
son Willie. GoUd-bye.'
Willie had longed to go to Paris,
but his father, Jacob Grossman, was
poor. The only instruction the boy
had received was at Hull House.
The boy had been working many
weeks upon picture, which he hop
ed would start him on the road to
fame. He finished it on Monday, and
then put on the best clothes he had,
and, taking the precious picture, went
downtown.
What he did with the picture no
one knows. He came back without 1t
and depressed in spirit.
Scattered about the little rooms
were many pictures made by the boy
artist during his spare time
The coroner's jury decided that he
"dled from hanging, while despon-

McCloskey Failed to Go on With
Farrell.

Nenrly 1000 local sports gathered al
Pye's Cycle Academy last night to
witness a boxing tournament which was
given under the auspices of the Della
ware Athletic Club The accommoda-
tions for such large crowd were poor
there being only about 100 seats in the
academy and many of those who were
compelled to stand were unable to see
hut little that was going on inside of
the ring.
The main attraction was 10 have been
fifteen round bout between Jack Far
rel of this city and Elwood McCloskey,
the "Old War Horse" of Philadelphia
and there was much disappointment
when it was announced that McClos-
key would be unable to go on. Kid
Stein of Philadelphia was substituted
and while ne was no match for Farrrl
he put up plucky fight during the six
rounds which he stayed. In the sixth
round his seconds threw up the sponge
as it was then onls question of n
short time before he would have been
put out Stein was shorter than Farrel
but heavier built and would probably
weigh few pounds more. He is a
pupil of McCloskcy but apparently has
had but little experience with such fight
crs as Farrell.
Farrell was greatly disappointed in
not meeting McCloskey and he rushed
the fighting with Stein from the start.
He knocked Stein down several times
in the first round and had him groggy
at the end of that round. The remain
der of the fight was in close quarters
Stein would drop on his hands and
knees and to escape punishment. Far
rel hammered him all over the ring and
had him nearly out several times.
Stein also got in number of good
punches on Farrel's face during the
fight. but they had but little effect on
the colorcd fighter In the middle of
the sixth round Elwood McCloskey, who
acted as one of Stems seconds, seeing
that it was useless for his man to
continue the fight, threw up the sponge.
Before. Farrell and Stein went on Nc
Closkey announced that he was in no
condition to fight on account of a bad
could which he contracted while training
several days ago. He said that Farrell
got Il decision over him once and that
he wanted to redeem himself but did
not think it justice to himself to go
on when not in condition. In concluding
he said that he would put up forfeit
of $50 to fight Farrell three weeks from
last night.
Falrel in answer said that he had
trained for McCloskcy for the fight and
that if he would go on and stay ten
rounds he could have the decision.
This McCloskey refused to do and re-
peatpd his offer of the forfeit for fight
in three weeks. 1t is likely that a fight
will be arranged between the two men
for the near future.
The two preliminary six round bouts
between local men were both good and
especially pleased the crowd. The bout
between ]. Whalen and "Kid" Kauf
man was decided n draw. Johnny
Joyce was substituted for w. Bostick
for the bout with f.. Garfield, colorcd,
and got the decision. Lewis Dehlcr was
referee for all the bouts.
The management announced that
there would be another tournament
Thursday evening. April 25 and that
better seating accommodations would be
arranged.

telegraph In Connection.

The Colorado Telephone Company is
making preparation to inaugurate a tel
egraphic service in connection with their
telephone. in fact the work Of learning
telegraphy has already been mastered by
various employees Of the telephone COM
pany all along the line.
In this city, several months ago. Miss
Agnes Whitley began studying telegrs-
ply and now she is able to handle that
portion OF the business quite readily.
Nothing was said OF the purpose Of the
company regarding the new department
of the work until very recently whom it
WAS given out that 1t would be used for
the private business Of the company and
for calling up long distances over the
telephone line.
The value Of the telegraph system can
be readily seen, as it will prevent inter.
ruption Of conversation on tho long dis.
tance wires and will save great deal Of
time, both for the company spd for the
general public using the phone system.
It is said that the new service will be
in operation BY the arst al the yeas.

She entered the lunchroom on Michl-
gan emu so softly she was almost
unnoticed. she gave the impression Of
one alone in the world, and, from her
absent, dreamy look, appeared to dwell
with the memory Of a past. At a glance
n would say that the pure country
air had blessed her earlier years. had
impaired the soft bloom to her cheeks,
now losing its freshness. Her dress.
plain, but s~crupulously clean, told the
story Of a struggle to appear respect
able. But native beauty which gives
a charm where all else fails aided her
here, for her features would have de
lighted an artist. And her beauty was
heightened by the pathos Of the ex-
preston. She walked to a table in a
corner where none other sat, and pres
emily a waiter brought her a cup Of
coffee. She took from an inside pocket
of her coat a small paper parcel and
unwrapped a couple Of thin butter
sandwiches. Then, leaning her elbow
on the table, she bowed her head and
prayed. She dallied over her meal like
one who has no appetite, gazing before
her as If some scene CENTRALIZED her.
Spirit and body seemed wide apart.
She had come to this lunch room for
months. 1t was said, arriving always
about the same time, after the rush Of
the noon hour. She had finished her
frugal meal, and as she turned to 90 a
dapper young nan entered and stared
at her in amazement. She staggered,
and all color left her face. The young
man seemed too surprised to control
his emotions. She timidly put out an
inviting hand, but he, sphinx-like, was
transfixed to the spot. Her head sank,
and she moved toward the door intend
ing to pass him. At the same moment
an Italian stopped with his piano in
the street, and began winding off Men.

woman stood erect, and as she raised
her hands to her head her eyes wan
dered wildly. An Involuntary smile
fitted across her face, then her eyes
