WOMA TAKES ACID
HER DEAD BODY FOUND IN ROOM
THIS MORNING.
The Rash Act Of Miss Georgiana
Chamberlain, Pension Office
Clerk.

Miss Georgiana A. Chamberlain. a 81, 400
clerk In the pension office, committed sui
eide last night or this morning at the
boarding house of Mrs. Fox, 1895 Massa-
chusetts avenue northwest. by taking car
bolic acid. Yesterday Miss Chamberlain
was apparently in good health, and friends
who saw her noticed nothing about her
demeanor which indicated any mental or
other trouble. If she had thought over the
matter before last night she said nothing
to her friends about what she intended to
do. The first that was known of her rash
act was when inquiry was made for her at
her room after she had failed to appear at
the breakfast table.
1t was about $50 o'clock when her room
was visited and those who entered found
her dead body stretched upon the bed
There was strong odor of the carbolic
acid in the room, and the burned condition
OF her mouth made 1t apparent that she
swallowed a deadly dose.
When Coroner hewitt was summoned the
room was searched and the empty bottle
labeled ''carbolic acid was found in the
washstand drawer in her room. No letter
or writing of any kind that would throw
any light upon the WomanS rash act could
be discovered So far could be ascertain
ed the only cause her friends were able to
assign was that she had suffered from men
tai trouble caused by sunstroke. Miss
Chamberlain once suffered severely from
the effects of the sun. and since then she
has been subject to severe headaches 1t is
believed she was suffering yesterday and
that her physical pain affected her mind
and caused her to swallow the acid
A towel was tied about her head when
her dead body was found, and this, it is be-
lieved was put there by the woman to re-
lieve her headache She had been under
treatment for this trouble for several
months.
Miss Chamberlain was forty-fve years
old She was appointed to a position in the
pension office about twenty-five years ago.
She was born in Penobscot county, Me,
and was appointed from that state.
Coroner hewitt gave a certificate Of death
from carbolic acid poisoning, self admins
tered. Relatives have been notified of her
death, and her body may be taken to Maine
for interment.

a PenniIess immigrant to a
Wealthy Banker, Revered by

GENEROUS TO THE POOR.
He Started by Opening a Saloon,
Then Accumulated Cash and Real
Estate-Hls Funeral Will Be a

Raphael Bove, one Of the most promi-
nent figures in New York City's italian
life. Is dead. and the entire italian pop
ulation Of Mulberry Bend. where the
wealthy banker made his fortune. is in
mourning.
After a short illness arising from a
complication OF diseases, the king OF
Mulberry Bend" died yesterday.
~ his home. No. 81 Mulberry street
tapers are burning about the bier of the
departed banker and scores Of men,
women and children are taking their
turn about the coffin of their beloved
friend who aided them in their hours
OF need.
Generous to- the Unfortunate.
Raphael Bove was a true friend to the
Italians of Mulberry street and many
stories are told Of his generosity to the
unfortunate.
I'VE called him the King of Mulberry
Bend because he was SO good to u.s."
said a weeping woman this morning.
The place Raphael Bow filled in the
Italian life OF this city was unique, and
his rise from a penniless immigrant to
a rich banker was regarded by his adj
hiring countrymen as a sign of a Prov
idential reward for his good deeds.
When the King of Mulberry Bend
came to this country. thirty-two years
ago. he had not a penny in his pocket.
Bringing his young wife with him from
Sala consulano, he started for America,
having previously saved up a sufficient
sum to meet his immediate needs by
work on the Suez Canal and on tho
Dardanelles, in Turkey.
The ship in which he and his wife
took passage for America went down
on Sandy Hook and all Of his possess
Bions were lost.
After being picked up by a packet ana
taken to Philadelphia the young Italian
found work in New York as Il day
laborer. At last he succeeded in saving
enough money to start u small saloon
at No. Il Mulberry street. Success at
tended his business and he began to
invest In Mulberry Bend property. Sew
erai buildings belonging 10 BoYc were
torn down when the bend was con
verified into q park.
Opened Ranking House.
II was not long before his increasing
wealth led the. Italian to start the
banking house OF II. Boye 4 Son, which
ne conducted at No. 81 Mulberry street.
shortly after his arrival in America his
business interests grew into large pro-
portions. Every penny of the money
which Raphael Bove accumulated was
made in the district where ne lived and
died. and though his %neighbOrs were
less fortunate In business, there was
not one but could tell of a helping hand
extended to them from the italian
banker.
The estate is valued at more thar
100000, and includes three large build
ings beside the double nat building at
No, 81 and So Mulberry street, where he
resided with his family for several
Raphael Bove was born in Naples in
1876. He leaves a widow and seven chill
dren and one g%randchild. The eldest
son Is NJ. ]. Bove, the contractor.
The funeral, which will take place on
Thursday, will be the biggest one ever
held among the Italians in New York.
