Death Develops Fact That Gin Rick, :
Inventor Came From Missouri.

New York, April 27.-Colonel Joseph
Kyle Hickey, originator of the gin
rickey," died suddenly today. He for
merly vas a resident Of st. Louis. A
coroner made the statement that the
cause of death was heart disease.
His death occurred under circum-
stances which led to inquiries as to
whether he had committed suicide. In
his pocket, after he a been found
staggering In the street, was discovered
at bottle partly filled with carbolic acid,
but an autopsy may be necessary to
determine If he took any OF the poison.
Colonel Hickey was noticed by several
persons walking along Twenty-ffth
street by the Hoffman house, shortly
before IL o'clock, and his unsteady gait
attracted attention. A policeman has
tened to his assistance. lie took him by
the arm and asked If he was i'll, but the
colonel was unable to speak. The po-
liceman fairly carried himsh few doors
to his boarding house anSfhen called a
physician. An ambulance was sum-
moned, but before the doctors arrived
Colonel Hickey was dead. His lips Were
not burned and the physician called eX-
pressed the opinion that heart disease
was the cause Of death.
Colonel Hickey was born in Illinois,
but removed to Missouri when very
young. He was a lobbyist in Jefferson
City for many years and stood high in
the estimation of the state politicians.
He afterward went to Washington,
where he has since lived. He was cele-
hrated as a ~bon-vivant and story teller.

Some Discoveries in Dixie,

Washington Post: I'm a recent tour OF
the south L learned a few things that sur
prised me- said T. J. Word OF Phila-
delphia.

people at Dixie were far emoved from
the corrupting influences that brought hui
initiation to the conscientious and high
minded men Of the north because Of the
rascally deeds perpetrated in our big
cities by politicians. 1t did not take me
long to learn that the south had become
degenerate in this respect, and was fast
approximating northern conditions. The
fell spirit Of commercialism had at last
invaded a region where Of old a man who
could think Of selling his vote would be
held in eternal disgrace.
II was assured by one Of the leading
judges of a southern state tina In many
Of the counties of that commonwealth
men could no longer be induced to vote
unless they were paid. He told me that
some of the counties which stood highest
in by-gone years for the intelligence and
virtue Of its people were now so thor
oughly debauched that a large proportion
Of the voters demanded money before
they could be induced to cast their bal
lots. l could give his name, except /
know 1t would cause him shame, and he
had no idea 1 would ever quote him In o
newspaper.
This statement met ample corrobora-
ton from many men Of standing, and
nm thoroughly convinced Of it's truth. II
was rather shocking to find out the lapse
from the ante-bellum standards of honor
In the south, but 1t goes to show that
human nature is about the same in all
sections, and that In a money-worshiping
age the faint spreads throughout the a

WOMEN TENEMENT INSPECTORS.
In New York Seven, All College oradu-
ates, Are Employed.


In the fiat and tenement districts OF
New York n encounters blue mi
formed men wearing badges and hat
bands inscribed with the words "tene-
ment Inspector" There are one hum
1red and seventy odd OF these men en-
ployed by the New York tenement
houses commissioner. But very few, one
might venture to say, come across young
women dressed in blue uniforms and
decorated with the same kind of off,,
cial bands and badges as the men.
There are seven feminine inspectors
Of tenements and they are the first to
nave been appointed in New York.
All of these inspectors are college or
university graduates and most Of them
have been actively interested in asso-
Citations for the betterment OF the con-
1ition of the poor.
"You see," said Inspector 1872, other
wise Mary X. Sales, after we were
regularly installed the seven of us held
q meeting and decided upon this uni
form. We wanted service as we'll as
style, and 1t had to be cut In the most
comfortable fashion for our work"
1t was made of dark blue serge, with
a REFER coat and ankle length skirt
and was extremely plain and tailor-like.
From the breast pocket of the square
cut Jacket hung q large circular gilt
badge of the commission. This was fas-
tened on the end Of q short strap, SO
that it could be slipped out of sight in
the pocket. The black ribbon band, on
which was embroidered in gold letters
the words Tenement Inspector 1872"
encircled the left arm above the elbow,
instead OF being worn on the hat as
the men wear theirs.
How do the people greet you, and
do you ever difficulties in
the way OF gaining entrance?" was
asked.
Sometimes, but not often" she re-
piled to the latter part of the question.
You see the uniform inspires a great
zeal of respect and fear"
