Leading Chicago Surgeon Plunged
Through Shaft.
Chicago, April 24.-Dr. Henry Lee, a
leading surgeon of Chicago and we'll
known clubman, plunged nine stories
to almost instant death to-day in the
club house of the Chicago Athletic
Association, where he made his home.
The open shaft surrounding the wind
ing stairway was the space through
which he shot, and a moment after
he had been chatting with a friend on
the ninth floor of the big club house,
his lifeless body was lying on the
marble floor of the street level, more
than 125 feet below. The fall was
accidental, there being no suggestion
of suicide.
DR.. Lee, who won wide fame as a
surgeon, was a member OF a large
number of societies.

LIFE OF ALTON BROOKS PARKER
oexsa Ills Life On . Farm, Where He
Stu ReSldes-A Brief Sketch
Of ERlneat Jvrlst.

Hon. Alton B. Parker, Chief JUS
t'ce OF the New York Court of Ap-
peals, who was las, Saturday nomi-
mated for the presidency by the
Democratic National Convention in
session at st Louis, is man of
great dignity and force and one
whose success in life is due entirely
to his own efforts.
Judge Parker was born on a farm
near Cortland, in Central New York
May IA, 1852. His parents were
unable to give him the benefit of a
college education, but he attended
the Cortland Academy and later got
out OF the Cortland Normal school
all the equipment for life that it
could give him. At lG he was a
country school teacher, and later en-
tered the Office of law firm in
Kingston, where he studied law I'M
der precep,er until able to enter
the Albany Law School, from which
he was graduated in 1872.
Judge Parker's political career be
gan in 1877, when, at the age of %,
ne was elected surrogate in Ulster
county, New York, for SIX year
term. He was reelected to the Of
fice in 1883 and i'm 1884 was a dele
gate to the convention at Chicago
that nominated Grover Cleveland.
Judge Parker was offered the posi-
ton OF First Assistant Post Master
General by Mr. Cleveland, but de-
clined the offer Judge Parker was
appointed to the Supreme Court BY
Governor David b. Hill after his
eleCllOn Tor q second term
In June, 1889, was created the
second division of the Court of APP
peals, to accelerate the work of the
highest court. Judge Parker was
designated by Governor Hill to sit
in this new court. He was only IS
years of age, the youngest of all
Judges of the Court Of Appeals. He
sat in this court until 1898, when.
upon its dissolution he was APP
pointed by Governor Flower to be
member of the general term of the
Supreme Court of the First District.
This assignment brought him into
intimate association with the bar of
New York City and extended the
circle of his admirers and friends

FIRE LIMIT TO Be ESTABLISHED.
Ordinance To This Effect Passed on
First Reading at the Council
Meeting Monday Night.

After the passage and publication
Of an ordinance now under way no
more frame structures can be erected

ON the north and Live Oak avenue
on the south. The proposed ordi-
nance also provides that before the
erection of any building in the city
on line west of First street, a per

Mayor This ordinance was passed
on first reading at the meeting Of
the city fathers Monday night, but
the limits can be altered before its
final passage.
The aldermen present at Monday
nights meeting were: President
Harris, Mcssrs. Atwood, Matthews,
Schmidt and Hendricks.
\ larger budget of bills was
passed upon and ordered paid than
at any previous meeting of the pres
ent council. The total amount drawn
from the city treasury at this meet
ing was 81 Ia .33. OF this amount,
however, 81, 100 went To take up
two school bonds, and n large part
of the balance was for work on FAIR
view avenue, portion Of which will
be returned to the treasury through
special bctterment assessments.
The report of City Physician
Seclyc showed the general health of
the city to he good, with but two
cases of contagious disease among
the white population.
The matter of lighting the negro
suburbs, Midway and Waycross, was
brought up and it seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that incandes-
cent lamps would give better service
than arc lights. As the city has no
contract with the electric light works
for this class Of lights, the Mayor
was requested to communicate with
Adam Schantz, the executor Of the
Schantz estate, relative to the matter.
Considerable time was taken up
regarding the assessment of II. II.
lIocnc, which that gentleman con
siders excessive, but the matter still
remains status quo.
The concluding business of the
body was to pass on first reading an
ordinance amending the ordinance
relating to the construction Of
closets.

The Punta Gorda Herald, in tell

Florida newspapers in the last cam
paign, says:
Two years ago the Herald receiv-
ed from candidates about $li0 in
payment for advertising and job
printing. At that time no separate
account of receipts from political
sources was kept, but, at the begin
ming of the late campaign, moved by
Il wish to know the exact amount
derived from political sources and
causes, the Herald opened political
cash account on its ledger, which,
added up this week, shows total of.
: 1850 This includes $3.50 for
job printing, remaining unpaid, and
SO III subscriptions paid by three
State candidates.
The editor of another newspaper
in South Florida stated in this Office
that his political receipts were over
5000, of which $500 had been
paid by one candidate. That editor
was either remarkably lucky in get
ting an extraordinary amount of pat
ronage, or else he must have charged
the candidates very exhorbitant
prices, or both.
SYMPATHY FOR CANDIDATES.
The Herald sympathized with
the candidates ia the matter of ex-
penses, knowing that the campaign
was costing them heavily, and it
accordingly gave them the lowest
prices possible
Now, tins matter is made public
Tor the purpose of deducting sew
eral morals First, as something of
evidence applicable to many other
newspapers that the charges so free
~ and recklessly circulated by GER
tain candidates and their friends
that various newspapers had been
bought by opposition candidates,
are slmdcrous and mendacious.
Right here it may be said, anent
