Funeral Of curraa L. aemmill to oc-
cur in York, Pa.

A member of the Headley chocolate firm
of Baltimore camesshere this morning to
make further inquiries into the matter Of
the suicide of Curran L. Gemmill, the FIRMS
travelling salesman, who cut his throat and
jumped from a window at the National Ho-
tel yesterday morning. The effects of the
dead man were turned over to the Balti-
morean. Late yesterday afternoon Capt.
Boardman received ia dispatch from w. A.
Kurtz Of York. Pa, a brother-in-law Of the
deceased, requesting that the body be
placed in the care of, an undertaken and
shipped to York. Undsrtaker ]. w. Lee
took charge of the body and shipped 1t to
York this morning. Friends Of the sales
man attribute the suicide to the fact that
he became suddenly insane. He was we'll
connected and had good-paying position.
When he left Baltimore Monday to take a
southern business trip he was apparently
in the best OF health and spirits. His
funeral will probably take place from his
late home tomorrow.

Public Library Hours,
o the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
It is understood that the board of trus-
tees Of the Washington Public Library are
to hold meeting in the near future to de-
eide as to library hours for the new build
ing. AS an interested citizen 1 desire to
suggest through the columns Of your valu-
able journal that the hours be from am.
to 10 pm. My reasons for this are three
fold:
/. These are the hours at the National
Library. They appear to have given salts
faction there and the reasons for their
adoption would appear to apply to the
municipal library.
2 Increasing the present hours by two
would tend to reduce any crowding of work
at the distributing desk-work which nat
urally will increase in any event.
3. AS the reading room facilities of the
Public Library are perhaps of equal inn
portance with it's consideration as a loa ming
agency, and a considerable portion of
the patronage will always be on the part of
those in the government service, who are
debarred from the library from to 4, the
extension of the hours to 10 pm. at least
would seem to be of very great advantage
to this important class of citizens, to say
nothing Of those who cannot visit the
library at all until evening.

BASE BALL
Satire on the National Game as
Played by Electrical Supply
Co.'s Team on Sunday.

Last Sunday about 1000 loyal fans and
rooters went to the ball park to see Cap
Seymour and his band OF Gilpus take
the Electrical Supply Company's team
into camp to the merry tune of IA to 3.
In the initial inning neither side could
score, but in the second, the slaughter of
the innocents commenced and at the
close OF this inning the locals had made
five nice large scores. In the third three
more were added, in the fourth, three
more and in the sixth, three more In
the fifth the visitors made two and in
the sixth added one more. Then the
Colorado & Southern thoughtfully came
to their rescue and the alleged ball play
ers had to go back, back, back, to the
Platte and the electrical warehouse. AS
they had to make the train, only seven
innings we're played-but that was all
that was needed for the locals to show
the visitors up.
Mrs. Maloney's youngest boy, George,
carried off the honors with the wagon
tongue. being three times up and getting
three hits.
|, Tuesdays Denver News contained a
wall Of despair from this team to the ef-
fact that they had been robbed and that
they would play the locals on iany other
grounds but the Central City park for
the magnificent sum OF $50. We under
stand that Cap. Seymour has not only
called the bluff, but elevated the bet to
5000. Nothing has developed on this
last proposition as yet, but it is not very
likely that there will be anything doin'
as the Electrical Supply Company team
hasn't chance with the locals.
