New York, April 20.-Dr. Lorenzo
j. Kohnstamm, traveller. philosopher
and physician Of more than local repu-
tation, is dead here in hospital for
the insane. Four years ago he sud.
denly retired from practice yielding
thousands OF dollars yearly.
He was a member OF the medical
societies of Paris, Vienna, Brussels
and Berlin and his strange action at
Stracted considerable attention.
Removing with his family to another
part OF the city, the doctor practical.
ly disappeared from the society of
even his most intimate friends. Two
years later, he called at the Bellevue
hospital, where he desired to become
a patient. Then he explained his re-
tirement.
In 1900, he said he had noticed
symptoms of paralysis in himself.
Without informing anyone, he began
. careful study OF his own case, which,
having confirmed his own suspicious,
exercise and freedom from all mental
effort might at least retard the ALL

vain, and he desired to prepare for
death. having settled all his affairs
with that idea in view. The physi.
clan was transferre to Manhattan
hospital, where he remained two years
awaiting the end.

st. Petersburg, April 20.-The popu-
lation of Vladivostock is in want Of
the most necessary kinds of provisions
and in consequence Of flooded rivers
which interrupt communication, 1t is
impossible to furnish them supplies.
There is also a scarcity OF money.
Many inhabitants, particularly the wo-
men and children, are leaving the
city, abandoning their property, which
they are unable to sell. Half of the
houses in Vladivostock are empty, and
the civilian population Is already re-
duced to five thousand.

Alton Brooks Parker was born on a
farm in Cortland county, New York,
May II, 1852. His father, John
stock. His great-grandfather, John
Parker, was born in 1851 at Worcester,
Mass. He was hard-working farm
er. When the war for independence
broke out he left his plow and served
as private under Washington until
ed. Little Is known of him except
that he was man of pluck and indie
pendence and was greatly respected
by his neighbors. His son, John
Parker, was an intelligent man, high
ly educated and public-spirited in
1903 he came to New York state and
bought farm at Cortland, the same
farm which. hi' -SusAtIs suI uIerieu grandson
owns 'anu>cultivates today. Te had
a large family, and when his health
broke down the burden fell heavily
upon his son. John, the father OF
Judge Parker.
: On his mothers side Judge Parker
derives good New England blood. His
white-haired mother, who lives at Der
by, Conn, is woman of refinement,
education and strong character. In
the summer time she spends the
judges vacation with him at Esopus.
She is member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. The
giant sits before his mother while she:
solemnly lectures hi mon temperance,
and, being an abstemious man, smiles
and promises to be good. Her con.
slant aim is to warn him against
ambition. When the newspapers
grow too loud in his praise he is sure
to get letter from his mother exhort.
ing him to be humble.

particulars are about as follows:
Cara was under the influence of
liquor and told one OF the customs
officers if he would give him his
pistol, he (Garza) would kill him
