|, c, GROVES ENDS HIS
LIFE IN THE HARBOR
Vas Out OF Work on Account of Drink Habit.
Asked for Payment of Lodging Bill He
Yielded to Dependency.

Dependency, brought on by inability
10 get work, brought about the suicide
of L. G. Groves, a well known English
man, last Saturday night. Two Ha-
waiian boys notified the police about 10
O'Clock yesterday morning that they
had discovered the body of a man float
ing in the harbor. The body was after
ward identified as that of Groves. It
was taken to the morgue, where it was

downfall, for he was considered a good
workman Wnen SOBER.
for him he was hardly ever in that con-
ditfon. His last job was at the Ha-
wsliian Fertilizer Co.'S works where he
was receiving SIS a month. but he was
discharged from there five or six
months ago because Of drunkenness.
Since then he has been unable to get
employment. Groves has lived at the
Queen hotel for the past three years
and since losing his job has not paid
anything. His landlord spoke to him
zon the matter last Friday and this,
added to his general depression, prob
ably caused him to take the step that
he did He was last seen alive about
O'Clock Saturday evening when

middle-aged man. Had been shaved re-
Gently and hair was close cropped.
There was no evidence whatever of foul
play and had thought it unnecessary to
open the body. There We're no bruises.
1t was a clear case of drowning. The
body had not been in the water long.

ran the Queen hotel. He had positively
identified the body as being that of L.
G. Groves. He had known Groves for
the last three years. Groves had lodged
during that time at the Queen hotel.
He had not paid anything for several
months back. Last Friday witness

Macon, Mo-, April 16.-At a
spelling bee here last night the
Baptists defeated the Methodists
and scooped in the gate receipts
Prof, w. A. Amin, superinten-

to draft soldiers for the lineup.
Everybody in the audience had
been a good speller in the school
days, but was "out of practice
There were about twenty-five on
side when hostilities began. The
Rev. w. P. Clark, captain general
of the Baptist forces, caught box"
on the first round, and spelled it
without injury. The Methodist
leader, Deacon James G.Vancleve,
spelled cat correctly, and smiled
contemptuOusly at such baby words.
On the next round the pronouncer
gave him ''peony," and he went
down after spelling it ''peoany."

leader and a whole platoon Among
the versions given were: Pie

Some very ordinary words were

Then they began to strike the
higher places. The Methodists
had only two privales left and the
Baptists three after such words as
these: Speriod, bronchitis, archi-

tranquility, and the like. Among
the five left four were women. Then

ATTACKS CLEVELAND.
What His "Friendship, I"
"TOuch" and Support"
Mean.

Washington, April 15.-In a
vitriolic speech in the House yes
terday Representative Cochran Of
Missouri renewed the attack re-
Gently made by Bourke Cochran on
the usurpation of the prsrogatives
of Congress by the President.
His vituperations were principally
towards former President Cleve-
land, whom he characterized as a
man whose friendship means de-
struction, whose touch means par
alysis, whose support means dis
honor" He said, in part:
Probably the most notable in
stance of usurpation of power oc-
Cured during Mr.. Cleveland's last
administration, aud never before in
the history of the country was the
abuse of the presidential appoint
ing power so flagrantly used to de-
bauch Congress as during that
four years. The patronage of the
government was made vast slush
fund and placed at the disposal of
representatives who surrendered
their right to think for themselves
and placed their votes at the dis
posal of the President.
"Degeneracy had not progressed
to a point when a committee on
rules exercised a dictatorship, but
the President, with the assistance
Of a minority of his own party and
the solid vote of the Republicans
on this floor, was as efficient as
the committee which now rules
as with a rod of iron the represen-
tatIyes of the people here assem-
bled.
Every Democrat who assisted
in the nefarious work was remand
ed to oblivion. His friendship
was as destructive as a pestilence.
l forbear to mention the names of
them, but a large company of H.
lustriOus Democrats disappeared
from the stage with the hurley
chieftain who led them astray.
None of these illustrious dead who
were buried in the political potter S
field because they were his friends
and defenders have returned to
life, l think he ought to know
that every word he utters hampers
the cause he espOuses, and will in
variably weaken any candidate he
may support. 1t is a bad policy
to have him continually kicking
out of the cement of his grave. The
smell of the vapors of his sepul-
cher are offensive to the nostrils OF
Democrats. He can serve his
friends best by disappearing"
Mr.. Cleveland, he declared, was
man whose friendship meant de.
struction, whose touch meant par.
alysis and whose support meant
dishonor. He declared Mr.. Cleve-
land had been put into exile. new,
er again to be reinstated in the
confidence of the people.
