PARIS, June lj.-Dispatches received
here from Pekin say the foreign minis
tiers are considering fresh propositions
from Mr.. Rockhill, affecting the Chinese
concessions looking to the payment Of

DR.. OALYS SUICIDE.
Asserted In Baltimore That Heavy Losse
on Investments Caused 1t.

BALTIMORE, June 14.-Heavy fnan-
cial losses incurred in speculation, 1t is
asserted here, caused the suicide Of DR..
William Hudson DAILY, former surgeon III
the United States army, personal friend
Of General Miles and originator Of the
"embalmed beef scandal. DIR. DAILY
killed himself with a revolver in Pitts
burg few days ago and it was given out
there that the suicide was the result Of
mclancholia brought on by the death of
his wife.
From the most reliable sources 1t is
learned here, however, that the unfortu-
nate man had invested largely In local in
vestments and lost heavily. Chief among
these were the securities Of the Maryland
Brewing company. which were floated at
high figures and which have greatly de-
preciated in value. DR.. Days losses in
this class of securities alone are said to
have reached $4,000. A check drawn
| by the dead surgeon for a large sum,
Iated the day preceding his death, has
been received 10y one of the local trust
| companies. and is supposed to represent
a portion Of these losses.

In his speech at Buluwayo, Rhodesia,
Saturday, when he predicted that fed

VIII. N | WAS A BOY.

Up in the attic where | slept
When | was a boy-a little boy!
In through the lattice the moonlight
crept,
Bringing a tide Of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and
seek
With the dimples on each sun
Drowned cheek
When | was boy-a little boy!
and, oh, the dreams, the dreams }
dreamed
When | was boy-a little boy.
For the grace that through the lattice
streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift Of prophecy,
And to bring me glimpses OF times to
Where manhO0dB clarion seemed 70
call,
All, that was the sweetest dream OF
all
When | was a b0y-a little boy!
I'd like to sleep where | used to sleep
When | was a boy-a little boy!
For In at the lattice the moon would
peep,
Bringing her tide Of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs Of the years
away ...
From the heart that Is weary ami faint
to-day,
And those dreams should give me back
again
The peace | have never known since
then
When | was a boy-a little boy!
