KRUPP NOT A SUICIDE
Aii.the Physicians say Death Was Due
TO Apopiexy.


TO Apopiexy.
Berlin. Nov. "a. The first assump-
ton that Herr Krupp. the great gun
maker, who died Saturday. commit
ed suicide is yielding to precise and
abundant testimony to the contrary.
Professor Binswanger, a physician
of the highest reputation, was in the
apartment adjoining Herr Krupp's
sleeping room when he was stricken on
SATURDAY. morning, and DIR. PAIL. Herr
KruDp's family doctor. also was in
the house. They summoned several
other physicians. and it is regarded as
being beyond belief that all of them
should have connived at concealment
of the cause of death. which they as
cribe to stroke of apoplexy, induc-
ed, they add unofficially. by mental
excitement from which Herr Krupp
was suffering
Herr Krupp's medical history for
several years past indicates that he
was in delicate health. He was asth-
matte, had weak heart and was sub
iect to fainting spells He fell to the
ground unconscious while in Genoa
several wears ago and again while at
dinner at hotel here 10 months ago.
He had been warned to avoid over-fa-
tigue and worry. He was at Hamburg
Thursday last, and at the Hamburger
Hof it was observed that he was in a
highly nervous condition, and sea rec

accounted for the presence of two ply

Recorder Smyth Not the Unjust Judge
He Was Reported to Be.
In an after-dinner speech at BAN
quet in New York the other day a we'll
known lawyer related this story of the
late Recorder Smyth, who was for SO
long a time a terror to the evil-doers
of the metropolis.
A young man came before him upon
grave charge and was accompanied
by lawyer in whose judgment the re-
corder had little confidence. The mo
ment the accused was called upon to
plead he jumped up hastily and said:
Guilty, your honor" The recorder
knew he had a fair defense and, call
ing him close to the bar, said to him
in a friendly manner: Now, tell me
who told you to plead guilty?" me
lawyer, your honor" Why did he
tell you that?" Because he said if
me case ever came up before that ould
hatchet face with the big nose I'd be
sent up for life sure, and the best
could do was to fall on the mercy of
the court" Judge Smyth entered a
plea of mot guilty" ordered the case
to be heard and at its conclusion the
young man was discharged.

A Black Beauty.

creoles of the West Indies consider
the name most honorable and worthy
to be borne by only people of native
birth.
The population of the country at
the last census was about 100000,
most of them blacks or members of
the remarkable mixed race which dis
tinguishes the island. The population
is many-colored, but the dominant tint
is yellow. The women are remarkable
for their strength and endurance.
They can walk all day up and down
hill, in the hot sun, carrying loads
from 100 to $50 pounds on their heads.
They very seldom make use of the
hand to steady the load, the head be-
ing almost motionless. These women,
of the cody class, carry great
amounts of produce across mountain
from plantation to seaport.
Nearly all the Martinique women
are beautiful. This being accounted
for by the admixture of Carib blood
with that of the Europeans and
blacks. Both men and women are
often so perfect physically that one
Venus need only to take a cast of q
body without making modification
from the head to the foot.
The appearance of the Island OF
with some of the English possessions
Martinique is in striking contrast
wita some of the English possessions
in the same vicinity, neatness and
orderly management invariably mark
ing the former. This is explained by
the fact that the French colonists,
whether European or creole, consid
er the West Indies their country and
work for it alone. In the English
colonies things are different. Every.
one regaros the colony only as tenn.
porary lodging place and calls Eng
land home, although few of them have
ever been there.

of their skirt, fastening it at the hip,
thus adding to their jaunty appear
ance and gaining an artistic finish for
their toilet.
With a Franco-African, love of per-
sonal adornment is a passion in the
qualification of which she displays a
reckless extravaganza, as witness
the immense string of beads of ex-
traordinary size she coils around her
shapely neck, to say nothing of the
preposterous rings she attaches to her
ears. A favorite form of adornment
is composed of six golden bars, as big
around and as long as the wearer's
little finger, bound together with
heavy bands; these earrings look
more like the barrels of a six-chamber-
ed revolver than female gew-gaws and
the beholder is surprised to find that
the human ear can bear the weight of
so much metal. In keeping with these
are brooches as large as soap dishes,
lockets as large as snuff boxes, arm
lets, bracelets and finger rings of all
patterns and degrees of inconveni-
ence.
Little girls, maidens, matrons and
ancient dames-all of them wear gor-

pure black as well as those of mixed
blood, walk with a lightness of step
and a graceful freedom of motion that
are very pleasant to see. This applies
only to the women who go shoeless,
for when a negress wears even the
best fitting pair of shoes, she minces
and totters and her gait becomes most
awkward
The language of the people of the
island is French. The negro creoles
speak a jargon hard to understand,
while the whites speak French with
an accent that very closely resembles
the speech of the creoles of Louisiana.
