In order TO correct a widespread i'm

create any new positions, practically no

The supreme court has denied a new

Death, when preceded by lingering
illness. is held a. such terror by some
people that they seek to end their lives by
sudden and in some instances violent
means.
Physical pain OF brief duration is pre-
ferred to a natural end, Notwithstanding
scientists declare that Nature gives her
children period of Inconsistencies just
before the curtain is rung down on the
final act OF life.
Terrence McGinn, OF 147 Hudson street,
was one OF those individuals who did not
care 10 take chances on suffering.
He resided at 147 Hudson street, with
his wife and three little children. and was
3S years old.
McGinn had until quite recently been
employed at the wire works in Phillips
dale; but consumption having developed
he was obliged to relinquish his work.
For his comfort as gas stove was at
times lighted In the kitchen, off which

was his bedroom, and at times a small Jet
was left burning In his room.
McGinn knew that his end was near
and that no power on earth could help
him. His wife was told yesterday by the
doctor thrat he could live not TO exceed
two days.
When Mrs McGinn arose at 4:30 O'Clock
this morning she detected a strong odor
Of gas.
She FASTENED 20 the kitchen. and finding
that the stove there was all right. quick
ly proceeded to the bedroom door which
was closed.
II was unusual for her husband to shut
the door and her heart told her that
tragedy had taken place in that room.
Pushing open the door her worst fears
were realized.
McGinn had turned the gas on giving Il
the fullest head possible. and returning to
his bed hurried on the grim messenger
whom he knew was on the road and near
at hand.
Medical Examiner Perkins viewed the
body and gave a permit for burial.
