Suicide Theory Doubted.

LYNN, Mass, April 7.-David K. Phillips, president of the National Grand bank of Marblehead and senior member of the real estate firm of D. K. X L. H. Phillips of Boston, threw him. self into the surf at Phillips beach, op- posite his home on Atlantic avenue, Swampscott, near here, and was drowned. The body was recovered two hours later. No theory other than self destruction during temporary mental alteration is suggested. Phillips was of a peculiarly nervous temperament and by his business associates is said to have recently worried much over the matter of certain improvements de- manded by his tenants. Eben Phillips, a nephew, declares that his uncle did not commit suicide. Mir. Phillips is be- lieved to have had several thousand dollars on his person, and this, with his watch, was missing from his clothing. The undertaken who took charge of the body said 1t bore evidence of having been In the water at least four hours.

Rider HnHgard Declares That Gigan-
 -~tic Trusts Must Be Curbed.
 AMITY, Colo. April HI. Rider Haggard, who is here as an envoy of the British government, in the course of an investigation of Salvation Army colonies in America said: "I see noth- ing except revolution and ruin in this country if you do not curb your gigan- tic trusts. Prices have been elevated to the prohibitive point for all except the very rich, and this will cause trou- ble unless remedy is quickly and thoroughly applied.
 "Why, the bacon we eat in Amity on the table costs more in Colorado, where it is made, than it does in England! I believe the colonization of city people in large tracts of land will solve the problem of high prices.
 ''The poor people who live in your big cities and in Colorado get what we consider in England a good wage, but the cost of living is so high here that they have no conveniences. com forts or money. The poorer classes of people in England do not make as much money as in this country, but they live better"

BATTLE or AHTIIrAl1.
vstsrais RsAia1sl sf sAs oll Days
 By W. D. aoerlay.

sd F. i. l-f < The fortieth anniversary of the sur render of General Robert E. Lee, com. mander of the confederate army, to General Grant of the federal forces, was appropriately observed at City hall last night, under the auspices of Wadhams post, c. A. R. The Halcyon Glee club, under the direction of Isaac Beecher Clarke, sang several selections and was easily the leading feature of the meeting. They sang ''The King of Thule" and ''How Can Bear to Leave Thee" and ''Tenting On the Old Camp Ground.''
 Commander George o. Robbins pre- sided. The first speaker, State Com mander Hillard of Bristol, spoke brief ly but Interestingly, and pleased every body. William ID. Gourlay of New York delivered the address of the even- ing, taking for his subject ''The Battle of Antietam." Mir Gourlay reviewed the story of that famous battle in de tail, bringing back to many of his hear CTS scenes and incidents of that awful day when, as the speaker said, the field was carpeted with dead and dying. He read most of his address, stopping here and there to explain some particular event more fully than he had it written out in his manu- script.
 Mayor Elton and several other city officials, with number of other in- vited guests, occupied seats with the committee on the stage, which was suitably decorated with relics of the war, including some of the weapons used by Waterbury soldiers in putting down the rebellion and establishing the Union on pedestal which is destined to last until the end of time.
