Room in Baltimore

A dispatch from Baltimore says: Mr..
Hobson c. Goodman, a confederate veteran,
was found dead in bed in his room at his
home 657 West Baltimore street. shortly
after o'clock Saturday morning. The dis

of Washington.
The stopcock on the gas jet in the room
was turned on full and the room was filled
with gas. Coroner Wiltshire of the western
district, who arrived on the scene about
half an hour later, gave a certificate o;
death from suicide by asphyxiation
Coroner and police found an envelope
bearing the inscription ITO the Public ly-
ing small table. The envelope, which
was sealed contained a note, which read as
follows:

yours truly, H. C. GOODMAN
The note was dated March 3.
Mrs. Goodman told Coroner Wiltshire that
her husband had on number of occasions
threatened to take his life because of the
misery he endured from locomotor ataxia,
from which he had been sufferer for many
years. Several days ago, Mrs Goodman
said, her husband became so i'll that he was
forced to go to bed. Later, when she went
to his room, she found the door barricaded.
She threatened to call an officer and have
door. Then she saw that he had barricad-
ed the door with a crutch. Mr.. Goodman
admitted at the time that his pain had be-
come so intense that he had intended to kill
himself
Friday night Mr.. Goodman retired about
10 o'clock and was in comparatively bright
spirits. His general condition. however
had become so alarming that Mrs. Good
man was prompted to telegraph for one of
her sons, who arrived in the city late FRI

Mr.. Goodman was married about thirty
years ago in Washington. d. c.. but several
years after he BECAME afflicted he went to
the Soldiers Home at Richmond, Va, and
remained there about eight years. Later

Gamble Affected ignor-
ance ofhis Presence

On Wednesday,, as scheduled, the
supreme effort of the republicans OF
this county to stir up enthusiasm
for their ticket was made. The

as there is in the state, the Pierre
band and the savo band played at fire.
quent intervals along the street
throughout the day. The weather was
'peffectE md the roads were. nne, and.
yet. aside from the crowds Of town
people who came out to hear the mu-
sic. the crowd was woefully slim.
The afternoon meeting which took
place at the Gottschalk at two o'clock
was addressed by Attorney Van slyke,
Senator Lawson and briefly by United
states Senator Gamble. Mr.. Van
Slyke was fresh from his oritorieal
triumph at Hecla. where he paid a
midicine show S. to turn over crowd
to him. In this case the band concert
gathered In his victims He was fol-
lowed by Senator Lawson whose
speech in two respects at least was
remarkable. First he very migrate
fully made the Socialists, who aid the
republican party by dividing the ops
position vote, the principal target of
his sarcasm. Then, strangly enough,
he tried to make his hearers believe
that the democracy OF Jackson was
identical with modern republicanism.
He is q smooth talker but he could not
stir the apathetic crowd.
In the evening the crowd formed on
Third avenue and with umbrellas and
torches, they made quite an imposing
array, going south on Main to
Seventh avenue, east to Kline
street and north on Kline to the
north side, returning on Main. Two
persons counted the voters in the
procession. leaving out the numerous
kids under voting age, one making it
78 and the other one e. The cheers
along the line Of march were either
for Pierre or Mitchell, but none for
Roosevelt.
The gathering at the opera house in
the evening was much more largely
attended, although mostly BY town
people, q large portion being women,
who nearly all left on the conclusion
sof Senator Lawson's speech. Senator
Gamble made q pretty fair speech,
but he failed TO stir up any great en-
thnsiasm when he pointed with pride

had made in the trust busting line
