whom, when or where is not generally
known. Treat publication, entitled ''Cu-

currence as being of Spanish origin, and
that the Prince of Granada, fearing usurp-
alton, caused the arrest of the supposed
would-be usurper, and by order of the
Spanish crown he was thrown into an old
prison called the place of skulls, situated
in Madrid, where he was confined for 33
years, with no other companion than the
rats, mice and other vermin that frequented
his dismal cell
During his confinement he counted the
letters, etc, contained in the Bible, and
scratched the several numbers on the stone
walls with a nail. When his work was
discovered he was furnished with writing
utensils and ordered to make copy of the
results of his long and tedious task. aud

COMMITS SUICIDE
William B. Esher, of Chicago, De
strOys Himself in New
York.

New York, March 3O.-William Bow
man Esher, of Chicago, a student at
Yale university, killed himself b. put
ting n bullet through his head yester-
day at the Hotel Manhattan, in this
city. From letters in the young mans
room there were found Indications
that he had been greatly worried over
something, presumably business mat
ters, but the letters give little clew
as to the cause of his trouble.
On table in the room was found
IA penciled note which said: please
notify my parents, f. B. Esher, 234
Winchester avenue, Chicago; also no.
tify r, NJ. Fairbanks, 90 College street.
New Haven. Better hold letter until
he comes. Bowman Esher."
On the table also were two letters
sealed. One was addressed to Z. b.
Esher and the other to Il. NJ. Fair
banks. Coroner Jackson opened the
letter addressed to Fairbanks. IT was
of a purely personal tone, the coro-
ner said, and in it the writer intima-
ted that he had not long to live. He
had been told, he said, he was affiict-
ed with Il severe type of tuberculosis,
and that two years would be a long
time for him to live. He also said he
left New Haven because he did not
think the air there was good for him.

sumption has developed into the silliest
megalOmania. Dewey, who has a ca
pacity for big talking, even in Amer
ica, has made the notable discovery
of an American fleet bigger than three
cruisers with which Germany cha astised
Venezuela"
The Neueste Nachrichten, the naval
organ, comments satirically on the in
terview, remarking that Dewey is
heartily welcome to the idea of Amer
lean naval perfection.
Numerous incidents are recalled of
seeming Sights by the United States
government. Germany, the people. say,
never is taken into consideration when
international courtesies are being ex-
changed. In fact it is claimed, naval
and military officers of the United
States go out of their way to avoid
showing friendship for Germany and
TO avoid cordial demonstrations at Ger
man ports.

lin Swift, president of Swift d Co.,
and one of the foremost figures in
Chicago's commercial life, died sun
day at his home in this city.

utes later he expired.

branch of commerce, which has con-
tributed so much to the prosperity
of Chicago.
