ENGLISHMAN LOSES
HIS LETTER OF CREDIT
Magistrate Moss, OF Rotterdam Misses
His PocketbooES After Sightseeing Trip.

C. H. Moss, magistrate aud accountant
of the borough of Rotterdam. England,
who is a guest at the Ryan hotel while
looking upon nature in her loyelfness
about st. Paul, failed to see any charm
in the urban scenery, for he had lost
his letter of credit for $500 while sight
seeing at Como park. or in the hill dis
trict Magistrate Moss was disconSolate,
but refused to admit it last night.
cit is true he said. that l have lost
my letter of credit, but an advertisement
may bring it safely back. 1t is of no
value without my endorsements and l
doubt if anybody will be bold enough
to forge the name Of an English magis-
trate to so valuable a paper as a letter
of credit for hundred pounds sterling.
Do you have thieves here in America as
we have them In England? But l may
be harboring an unjust suspicion. and
may have simply lost the purse containing
the letter from my pocket while seeing
the city"
Mr.. Moss. who is a member of party
of English tourists seeing America, viii
remain q day or two longer than he had
intended while the police assist him in
the search for his missing paper.

Warm Weather Fills the Swim.
ming Pools and Little Ones
Have Happy Time.

Fully 10000 persons visited the public
baths on Harriet island yesterday and
the temperature of the water did not
prevent hundreds from taking a dip in
the river. Gay, laughing crowds of
youngsters thronged the different pools,
the boys enjoying themselves in bolster
Gus manner, and the girls in less demon
strative way.
The youngsters apparently paid little
attention to the chilly wind, with which
they came in contact in rising above the
surface of the water.

effort was brave, but the little head went
under the water, and almost at once came
up, quite a quantity OF water having en-
tered the boys mouth. He cried for a
moment and then was as brave as the
next one: 1t was not so bad, after all,
to go under the water, and in a few min
utes he was following the example of
the larger boys, and was attempting to
dive.
Archie Plays Tricks.
The bears attracted the greatest amount
of attention from the children. Archie
and his companion We're in playful
mood and their antics were appreciated
by the audience. Archie thought it would
be great fun to throw water from a
vessel in the cage on the assembled chill

delight of even the youngsters who We're
the victims. Having disposed Of the

a high rental for their property, and
although many of them are church

Sequel to an Affair That Had Begin
ming in Colorado and Estrans-

Chicago, Nov 21.-Elsie Gesterling's s
self-inflicted death at the Hotel Ven
dome Saturday reveals what is believ-
ed to have been a suicide agreement
between the girl and Charles A. Park
er. late vice president of the Pere Mar
quette railroad system. Because of the
attachment between the couple it is
said that Parker's son. John W., IS
years old. killed himself a few months
ago in St. Louis, and that there was an
estrangement for a time between Park
er and his wife.
Miss Gesterling came from Germany
IL years ago with her mother, who
shortly afterward married Gottlieb
Gesterling, of Denver, who was pos
sessed of considerable means. Three
years ago the girl took a course in
Denver business college, and about two

after writing to his mother committed

Gave Letter to Husband.
Mrs. Parker, when she received the
letter, mutely gave it to her husband
so the story goes. There were TO re-
proaches. Early last spring Parker
had sent Miss Gesterling away. The
mother and daughter came to Chicago.
Gottlieb Gesterling, the husband, re-
mained behind, but he warned his wife
the relations of Parker and his step
daughter must cease.
Parker then became despondent, and
it was charged to the death of his son
During the summer he went to Gin

to have kept up communication with
Miss Gesterling, and it was during this
time. it is believed, that the suicide
pact was made.
Pnrker's Death Sudden.
Parker died suddenly last Wednes-
day. and while his death was attribut-
ed to heart disease, there are many
who believe he took his life. He was
buried in st. Louis Saturday, and at
the hour of the funeral the girl COM
mitted suicide.
Miss Ida Bates, who had been known
as friend of Miss Gesterling, went to
the hotel Saturday and was given
letter which was left by the young wo-

opened it, read it and tainted. She
was revived and left the hotel without
making known the contents of the note
