SUICIDE AT BALTIMORE.
Was a Relative Of Baroness Burdette
Coutts-Took Chlorofrom.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 22.-Dr. Ernest
Money. who committed suicide yesterday at
his home. 1112 Clendenin street, was rel
alive of Baroness Burdette Coutts, one of
the richest women in the world. DR.. Money o
father the late Col. Gerard Newell Money
of the British Indian army, died sixteen
years ago. He was the brother-ln-iaw Oh
the baroness.
The suicide had been thoroughly planned
and carried out The mans collar and vest
had been loosened for injections OF chioro-
form and cocaine, and he had lain down IN
the tub upon two pillows while with a rub
Der tube made of two-joint pieces of six
feet each he had brought the gas directly
down to his lungs.
To the mother of the dead man, Mrs.
Sarah H. Money returning from month S
visit to another son in Swansboro', Va, the
discovery of the PROSTATE body, instead of
being met at the station, as she had In
structed him by telegram. came az a ter
rible shock.
When Mrs. Money arrived at the house
at A o'clock yesterday afternoon she found
the house locked up, and after nearly an
hour spent in fruitless endeavor to enter
two men. Frank Trotten and William Hud-
son. crawled through the cellar window and
opened the door for Mrs. Money, who went
upstairs and discovered the body.
The story that DR.. Money was despond-
ent was denied by his brother. G. N. Money,
who says that the morning previous to his
death he was in the best OF spirits. He ate
heartily and talked in his usua! way
mo; I am sure" continued his brother
chat Ernest was not respondent. 1t Is
true he fretted considerably because he
was afraid he would not pass the state
board examination. He surely had some
other motive for taking his life.
The funeral will take place from the old
home in Swansboro. Va, where the body
will be taken on Sunday.
Whatever the mysterious motive for the
suicide could have been certain 1t Is that
1t was a strong one. 1t Is regarded as q
strange coincidence that DR.. Money ended
his life here while Baroness Burdette
Coutts his aunt. was celebrating her
ninetieth birthday in London.
The dead man and his family came to
America eighteen years ago. DIR. Money
studied medicine at the Maryland Unit
versity, the Baltimore Medical College and
at Suwanee University of the south. Be-
sides his mother he is survived by young
son, twelve years old. and two brothers
Cecil N. Money of Jersey City and Louis
Money of Swansboro. Va. with whom
Mrs. Money and her grandson have been
staying. Mrs. Money and DR.. Money have
lived in Baltimore seven years.

The recent disastrous FIRE In Toronto.
Canada. following 80 closely the great fires
in Rochester and Baltimore, leads to con-
lectures as to tile effect of these losses upon
the future policy of the insurance COM
panies. 1t has been estimated that the
loss for the year will be over two hundred
millions. while the fire waste In the average
year amounts TO about $i2.0Oo.OOo or $lS.-
100000 per month. II has not been deter
mined what course will be pursued by the
companies. but il is not thought that an
attempt will be made to increase the rates
on all. renewals and new policies. as that
has not been found to be conducive to har-
mony between the companies and their Gus"
toners.
There is a probability that the movement
will receive new energy toward the estab-
fishing of general rating board for the
entire country. A schedule of rates would
be adopted with provision for deficiencies
according to the conditions in the various
cities. In effect this would he union OF
interests of the Insurance companies OF the
country, and the difficulties in the way OF
accomplishing IL are such as to lead many
to think that Ii will be impossible to bring
it about. The result of such uniform sys-
TEN of rating would be to increase the
revenue derived from the business and ad-
just in better proportions the risks and the
premiums.
An interesting feature of today's meet

In the south Of France stills are a
necessity to the people, who are mostly
shepherds. They must walk OH stills IN
order to oversee their vast flocks or
sheep as we'll as to pass through the
boys.
These hepherds-men, women ana
children-walk continuously on stills
from six to eight feet high. These
stills are merely fastened to the feet.
Sometimes the stills have uprights
reaching as far as the knees and bound
firmly to the legs.
Generally these shepherds and shep-
herdesses carry long poles, which they
can use either as balancing poles or as
supports-very long canes, as II were
reaching to the ground. They become
so expert in silt walking that 1t Is no
unusual sight to see a shepherdess
striding along on stills that raise her
six feet above the ground, with her
balancing pole strapped to her back
and her hands buslly knitting socks for
husband, son or brother.
The complete unconcern with which
these country folk make their way
along on stills Is astonishing. One
might almost say that the children
have stills given to them instead OF
cradles. Washington Star.

The Power OF Interest.

A striking instance of the power of
interesting work and study to put new
life and new temperament even into
hardened criminals is related by Pro
fessor Joseph lie COnte in his auto
biography. 1t occurred in 1857 at the
prison in Carson City, New.
Fossil footprints apparently of men
and animals had been found in the
sandstone Of the prison yard, and Pro
fessor lie Conte, who at once went
thither. secured the aid of the con-
victs to blast out the specimens and
help him find more.
They enjoyed the investigation in
tensely," he wrote, "and worked very
intelligently. We entirely forgot that
they were criminals and some of them
murderers, and all worked together
with interest.
THE effect of their work and inter-
est in 1t was wonderful. Before dull
and sullen. they became bright, eager,
cheerful and happy. What reforma-
tory measure such work would be If it
could be continued indefinitely"
Students of penOlOgy long ago dis
covered the value of original work in
reform schools. Yet with all the adj
vance they have been able TO make in
these institutions, what a change the
opportunity to work with such a man
as Professor lie Conte would effect in
any one of them

His Thumb Mark.

The Boston papers say that one OF
the infrmties of age from which Ed
ward Atkinson, the economist, inventor
of the Aladdin oven, suffers is such
unsteadiness that he no longer uses a
pen, but employs a rubber stamp in
signing his name. This is done even
on checks of small or large amount.
AS such a signature is not legal, Mr..
Atkinson renders it so by attestin6 it
according to the Bertillon system. He
inks the ball of his thumb on a pad
and leaves the imprint on the check,
as much as to say Edward Atkinson,
his thumb" Bank cashiers in Boston
and elsewhere have become familiar
with the hair lines of the AtkinsOnian
thumb, and a piece Of paper bearing it
is as good as legal tender.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous diseases
for anyone to attempt to doctor him
self, although he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
In mind, however, that pneumonia al
WAYS results from cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and by the proper
treatment of these diseases threaten
ed attack of pneumonia may be ward
ed off. There is no question whatever
about this, as during the thirty years
and more that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been used, we have yet to
learn OF single case of cold or at
tack of the grip having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was
used. 1t is also used by physicians in
the treatment Of pneumonia with the
best results. DR., w. J. Smith, of Sand
ers. Ala, who is also druggist, says
# It: II have been selling Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and prescribing
it in my practice for the past six years,
/ use it in cases of pneumonia and have
always gotten the best results" For
sale by all medicine dealers.
