DIED BY HIS own HAND.
WAS LIGHTING A CIGAR
WHEN HE FELL.
"Suicide'' Was the Verdict Passed
By Coroner's Jury To day In
the Closing Chapter of the
Tragedy of Wright.

London, Jan. 29.-"Suicide' was
the verdict passed by the coroner's
jury to-day il the closing chapter of
the tragedy of Whitaker Wright.
His death was caused by suffocation
in consequence Of poisoning by cyan
ide of potassium: Theeiury found that
Wright was perfectly sane and that
there was not the slightest doubt
that his death was due to most de-
liberate suicide. From the evidence
at the inquest it was shown that
Wright had determined to take his
own life in the event of an adverse
verdict and that he went to court
with a cyanide tabloid in his posses
sion, while in his hip pocket was q
new revolver, fully loaded, and even
cooked. After the sentence Wright
went to the lavatory while the at
tendants on him remained outside.
There he swallowed the tabloid, re-
turned to the consulting room, wash
ed down the poison with whiskey
and water, and died. One of the last
things Wright said was:
''This is British ju5tice.'
After Wright had taken the poi
son, holding a glass in his hand and
still slipping its contents he said to
one of his friends:
"Waters, give me another cigar"
Mr.. Waters took up Wright's cigar
case, which was lying on table,
and Wright deliberately cut the end
off the cigar and struck match.
Just as he was going to light the cigar
he flung the match from him, sank
| back unconscious and died without
uttering another word.
The doctor who was called to at
tend Wrig hit said he had not detected
any smell or sight indicating poison,
but the official analyst, DR.. Frey
| berger, who conducted the post NOR
tenn examination, testified that from
every organ of the body exuded the
peculiarly penetrating smell of Prus-
sic acid.
| The funeral of Whitaker Wright
has been arranged for Saturday at
the church at Whitley, Surrey, his
former country home.

MAD WITH TERROR.
ONE MANS GOODNESS PRE-
VENTS A PANIC.
A Man Falling Over A Chair Came
Near Starting A General
Stampede in Havlin's
Theatre Tonight.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 28-A man
falling over a chair started a panic
in Havlin's Theatre tonight, but the
prom pt action of Manager William
Garen in making a speech from the
stage prevented a general stampede
and nobody was hurt.
During an act when the house was
dark and the audience was listening
intently to the lines of the play, a
man moving about in the rear of the
balcony fell over a chair, making a
great noise. Instantly the audience
was in a panic. Women screamed
and the audience sprang to its feet
en- masse. Manager Garen instantly
ordered the lights turned on and
rushing upon the stage, he called to
the panic-stricken people to be seat
ed, telling them there was no danger
and imploring them to remember
the terrible Iroquois Theatre disas-
ter.
The audience at once calmed down
and MIR. Garen continued to talk, eX-
planning that the exits were all open
and that the alarm had been caused
from a noise in the gallery, and there
was nothing to fear. He then had
tl1@ asbestos curtain lowered several
times and explained its workings.
When he had concluded the audience
was entirely calmed and chee red
him to the echo.

NEGRESS REFUSES TO SERVE
A WHITE MAN HAS BEEN AP-
POINTED.
w. B. Martin, One of the Bondsmen
of Minnie Cox Has Been APP
pointed Postmaster At
IndianoIa.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Presi-
dent has appointed w. B. Martin to
succeed Mrs. Minnie Cox as post
master at Ind anaola, Mr.. Martin,
who is white man, was one of Mrs.
CoX'S bOndSmen.
Concerning the appointment the
following statement was issued at the
White House:
s'1he PRESIDENT has sent to the
Senate the nomination of VIM. B.
Martin to be postmaster at Indianola
The term of Mrs Cox as postmaster
has expired aud she positively re-
fused to accept re-appointmentu un-
der any consideration, and made the
request for the appointment of Mr..
Martin, one of her bondsmen and
staunch friends throughout the whole
trouble and who had done everything
in his power to oppose and prevent
the lawlessness. A report was made
by the postoffice inspector, who had
originally investigated the whole
affair, and on his advice and in view
of positive refusal of the postmaster
to accept are-appointment under any
consideration, the President appoint
ed w. B. Martini
It will be recalled that Mrs. Cox.
| who is colored woman and whose
husband was railway mail clerk,
became Objectionable to some of the
citizens of Indianola and she finally
was requested by them to resign her
Office. Threats were made against
her and she was led to believe that
| her life was in danger. She express
ed to the Postofice Department de-
sire to resign, but when the facts
| were developed, the Der artment de-
clined to permit her to do SO. Feel
| ing over the matter became bitter
and, as Mrs. Cox felt that she could
not remain in the Office with safety
to herself, the office was closed, the
government refusing to make any
other arrangement. For long time
the people of Indianola have been
receiving their mail from Greenville
a town twenty-five miles distant from
Indianola. The citizens paid spec
ial career to bring them their mail
from Greenville. The appointment
seems to be satisfactory to all.

75 z NILES THE Time.
VAN LED THE RUSH AGAINST
ALL OTHE
In His Automobile He Snapped
Records Like Chalk Pipe
Stems At Ormond,
Florida.

Ormond, Fla, Jan. 3O.-Fifty
miles with for turns in 10 minutes
40 4-5 was the record made on the
Ormond-Daytona Beach course to-
day by w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., in
his 9O-horse power machine.
The event was for the American
automobile association championship
at that distance. The distance was
open to all. The pace figures out
73 1-2 miles an hour, the best record
ever made IN America and almost as
good as any straight-aWay record for
that distance in the world. In this
long race Mr.. Vanderbilt managed
his machine admirably. On the four
turns, necessitated by using the ten
mile course, he displayed great skill
and daring, making the turn. On
completing the twenty miles his
machine left its tire marks just four
feet inched from the stake, going
at a good speed. His record for
every ten miles Of the so was the
best, that of II. E. Bowden, in his
6O-horse power being second. These
two records break any previous time
in America.

MRS. MAVERICK FREE.
SHE HAS BEEN SET FREE AT
TER MANY YEARS.
She Is Now at Private House Near
London Awaiting Completion of
Certain Formallties Which
Will Give Her Liberty.

London, Jan. 31.-Lloyd's Weekly
newspaper says this morning that
Mrs. Florence May brick, the Ameri-
can woman who was serving a life
sentence for having poisoned her
husband, was released from the
Aylesbury female convict prison at
6:45 O'Clock on the morning of Janu-
ary 25th, on special license.
Her mother, the paper says, had
visited her Saturday, January 23d,
and evidently was the bearer of I'M
portant news. The governor Of the
prison on Sunday conferred with the
prison officials with a view to arrang-
ing for the prisoners departure
which W as carried out very quietly.
Mrs. Maybrick, accompanied by one
of the prison matrons, entered a
closed carriage and drove to Ayles-
bury Station, where she took train
for London. She drove from EustOn
Station and from there went to a pri-
vate house not far from the metrop-
oils. She will remain there for a
short period, in order to recuperate,
and to await the completion of GER
tain formalities, which will give her
a freedom of movement not allowed
by persons on ordinary ticket of
leave.
Mrs. Maybrick, the paper con-
cludes, during the last few months in
prison, was employed in the lightest
work as a reward for good conduct.
The Associated Press has as yet
been unable to confirm the reported
release of Mrs. Maybrick.

J. H. HILL & SON RELY UPON
HYOMEI.
1t Cures Colds, Coughs, Catarrh and
Grip-Just Breathe II.

1t Cures Colds, Coughs, Catarrh and
Grip-Just Breathe It.
Hyomei is natures own method
for curing catarrh, colds, coughs and
diseases Of the respiratory organs. 1t
is the only natural treatment for the
cure of these troubles.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
the air that passes into the throat
and lungs is identical with that on
the mountains, where it is laden
with healing and health-giving bal
sans. 1t searches out and kills dis
ease germs in the most remote and
minute air cells of the head, threat
and lungs, it soothes and heals all ir-
ritation of the mucous membrane.
Hyomei is prescribed by physic-
ians generally. Many of them use
it themselves to break up a cold and
prevent pneumonia.
The complete Hyomei outfit con-
sists Of neat inhaler. that is so small
and convenient that it can be carried
ia the pocket or purse, a medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
This costs but 81, and it will cure
any ordinary case of catarrh. To
chronic and deep seated conditions,
| longer use is necessary and extra bot
| ties of Hyomei can be obtained fol
Soc, making it most economical
treatment for this disease.
| J. III. Hill & Son have so much
confidence in the power of Hyome
to cure catarrh and other diseases O
the throat and lungs that they sell i
under their personal guarantee to re
fund the money to any purchaser il
case it fails to give satisfaction. They
take all the risk themselves, anl
Hyomei costs you absolutely nothing
unless it does you good.
