DETAILED ACCOUNT.
Of Suicide of Charles Momm in Wash
 inqton.

The Washington Post prints the fol- lowing account of the suicide of Charles Momm, formerly of this city, who killed himself in Washington last Thursday morning:
 While almost crazed from an abscess at the base of the brain, the result of a severe attack of grip, Charles Momm, aged 32 years, first assistant examiner in the patent office, shot himself through the head with a revolver at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning in his bedroom at his home, 631 Elliott street, northeast. The bullet struck the right side of his head above the ear and passed through the brain, coming out at the opposite side. Drs Storey and Walters were summoned. but he died just as medical aid arrived. Coroner Hewitt gave a certificate that death was due to self-inflicted wound.
 "Mr Momm leaves a widow and two children. His father, who resides at Elizabeth, N. J., was notified of the trag- edy, and is expected here today Momm was born in Prussia, but came to this country when very young. He gradu- ated from New Jersey college and af- terward went to Birmingham, Ala, where he worked for several years in a foun- dry. He advanced rapidly, and was made foreman of the works three years ago. He considered the work at the foun- dry too severe and came to Washing ton over year ago to take a rest. He subsequently, obtained a position in the patent office and was soon after made first assistant examiner. He worked un- der R. G. Simpson, chief of the division of railroad brakes, appliances and Icll- ing stock, and was regarded as the most efficient and industrious. About six weeks ago he went to New Jersey to attend the funeral of Mrs. Momm's father. He had since been In poor health.
 "On the 18th of the month he had to quit work, owing to an attack of grip. An abscess formed at the base of the brain and this gave him intense pain and caused him to lose much sleep. He was Momm sat up with him nearly all night At T a. m. she dressed their two children and went with them 10 the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While .n the kitchen she heard the shot that ended her hus- bands life. He had arisen from bed, se- cured his revolver from a bureau drawer and returned to the bed, where he shot himself The revolver was found clutched in the dying mans hand when his wife rushed into the room. The remains will probably be taken to New Jersey for burial"

His dictum that 'the man who dies rich dies dis graced," is destined to everlasting re- membrance, so far as the generation of today can see into the future. It Is a superb acknowledgement of what the so- ciety-that is, the people-has done for the very rich classes, and a motion of what they, in return should do for the community. All humanity will be bene- fitted by Mr. Carnegie's stupendous gen erosity.
 It must be said in justice to the rich men of America that there are no more splendid givers in the world. During the last hundred years more money has been contributed for phianthropic work in the United States than in all the countries of Europe combined Great seats of learn ing have been founded and richly endow- ed; magnificent hospitals have been es- tablished; splendid houses of worship have been built, and charitable institu- tions of every description erected and put on an enduring basis. Thousands of millions of dollars have been expended In this way, and the good that has been accomplished through all these agencies can never be known on earth.

The fact that the stranger ordered a
tape which was divided into tenths of a
foot instead of the ordinary kind mark
ed in inches, and the still further cir
cumstance that he knew the price of It
without having to inquire, convinced Mr..
Boeringer that he must be doing bust-
ness with an engineer, and precluded
any suspicion that he might otherwise
have felt, so he handed an engineer
tape and $3.50 to the errand boy of the
store and instructed him in accordance
with the telephone message.
In due course of time the boy arrived
at the foot of Chestnut street, where he
he saw a number of surveyors at work,
and as he was looking about, a man

Well, hand it over and here is the $40

Then the man pointed out one of the

STRONG FOOD.

Having the Longest Staying Powers.
It is a good thing to know how to Sc
lect food that will so thoroughly feed
and nourish the body that there is no
indication of hunger or faintness from
one meal to another.
Grape-Nuts Food will carry the user
longer, probably, than any other food
known. A young lady attending bust
ness college writes from Atlanta, Ga,
saying: Before I began using Grape
Nuts I got so hungry before the dinner
hour that I was faint and almost sick,
but since I have Grape-Nuts Food for
breakfast study harder, and wait long
er for my dinner without experiencing
any of the former trouble.
"One great advantage is that it re-
qpires no cooking or preparation. / wish
everyone knew of the value of Grape
