ably Prompted by HI Health.
 New York, March 29.-Herman Bow man Esher, twenty-five years old, of Chicago, said to be student at Yale university, killed himself by putting a bullet through his head some time to- day in his room at the Hotel Manhat- tan. From letters in the young mans room there were found indications that he had been greatly worried over some thing, presumably business matters, but the letters give little clue as to the cause of his trouble.
 On a table in the room was found a pencilled note which said:
 Please notify my parents, D. B. Esher, 234 Winchester avenue, Chicago; also notify R. M. Fairbanks, p College street, New Haven. Better hold letter until he comes"
 This note was signed Bowman Esher.''
 On the table also were two letters, sealed. One was addressed to E. B. Esher and the other to R. M. Fair banks. There also was found a letter on the letterhead of the Marine Na- tional bank, of Buffalo, signed IS. M. Clement. Pres" This letter was ad- dressed to Bowman Esher. It was written under date of March 2S, and read:
 Dear Sir-I enclose telegram just re- eeived from Lowell, the contents of which I have just wired you. I very much regret his decision. It may be you can bring some influence to bear upon him tomorrow to change him, and if in his letter, which will probably follow the telegram, I find anything that will be of use to you, will wire you tomorrow"
 Coroner Jackson has charge of the body. Fairbanks has wired that he will be here tomorrow.
 Coroner Jackson later opened the let ter addressed to Fairbanks. It was of purely personal tone, the coroner said, and in it the writer intimated that he had not long to live. He had been told, he said, that he was afflicted with severe type of tuberculosis, and that two years would be a long time for him to live. He also said he left New Ha- ven because he did nor think the air was good for him. It weakened him, and he came to New York on that &C., count.

Gen. Miles mentioned that while

visit to Boston recalled the matter.
The officials of the bank looked over
their books and sure enough found
that the dollar was there in the name
of Nelson A. Miles. Unfortunately
for him, however, no deposit Of less
than SO draws interest, so he might
as well have had his treasure hidden
in a stocking.
