Chicago.-Suicide in the balcony of a

The young man shot himself in the
head Death was instantaneous and
the body fell into the lap OF woman

several women tainted but were quick

When the sound of the shot was
heard many women screamed and left
their seats. but ushers soon Quieted
the excitement. No one was allowed
to leave the balcony. The orchestra
struck up a lively tune and aided in
averting a panic. The body was re-
moved to the county morgue. nothing
being found to indicate the identity Of
the suicide.
The man shot himself during the
singing of a pathetic song picturing
scenes in country farmhouse. He
had listened attentively and had ap-
plauded. At the third encore he stood

Chicago recently this tale was told with
sad variations on the original theme.
We speahof the strange case of the
parolef policeman and the wealthy
young woman of Michigan avenue; the
hapless girl shot down by the man whose
attentions she would not listen to-. We
cannothelp wondering if the tragedy had
it's beginning in the wild romances of
princesses mating with humble citizens.
Herman, the would-be lover, was a
man that appeared enamored of himself
to no small degree, and doubtless thought
in the end he would prove irresistible to
any girl He was we'll BULL, and paid the
greatest attention to his clothes. Dia-
monds shone from his shirt front, a dia-
mond sparkled on his finger; an adver-
tisement that the wearer was no mere
nobody. This. it seems to us, was his at
titude
was Herman in love, or was Herman
merely ambitious? The latter, surely.
Associates say, knowing the young lady.

deliberately sought to win her regard; he
chose lodging near her home, took to
church going at the st. James church.
where she was one of the most regular
workers. His first advances repulsed,
the mans inordinate vanity kept him
from encouragement for even term of
years; but at last he must have realized
that all his patience and efforts were in
vain; and in moment of frenzy took the
life OF the young woman whom every
one says was very lovely character, a
very useful member Of society, her only
crime, failure to appreciate an aspiring
young man.

turnips or apples will tempt it to leave
before he does. The cow can tell the
time of day for the captain and he at
tributes his freedom from Indigestion
to the regularity with which the cow
nudges him to promptness at meal
times.
This intelligent cows latest accom-
plishment has earned for the captain
the favor of the whole juvenile popula-
ton of Sleightsburg and clinched still
further the cows reputation for sagaci-
ty and cleverness. While following the
captain up one of Sleightsburg's steep
hills the cow noticed the weary children
dragging their sleds up the slippery in
cline. She friSked and snOrted and
pranced around until she made the cap
tain understand that she had a mes
sage for him, which, being translated,
informed him that she would pull the
children up if they would tie their sleds
to her tail. The experiment was tried.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin was not fol-
lowed by happier Juvenile procession
than that which trailed behind Capt.
Ike Sleight and his trained cow. So
successful was the scheme that if the
sleighing does not soon wear out Capt.
Ike fears that he will have to get new
tail for his COW.

sHlPLoADs or TREASURY
Much Larger Consignments Of Gold
/ Carried by Modern Vessels as
I IS. Compared to olden Times.

i An ocean steamship carrying nearly
$40 900, 000in gold was advertised to sail
recently from New York to European
steamship carried 81 ,O0O,00 in gold to
Europe, and heavy shipments Of gold
from Europe to America or from. Amer
lea to Europe are of common occur
renee. Many a vessel sailing from Alas
ka to San Francisco carries more of the
precious metals than did the famous
galleons of Spain in : the eighteenth
century.
! The vessel announced to sail with gold
as ballast was to carry three times as
much bullion and coin as was carried
by the whole fleet ofsSpanish treasure
ships captured by the British in 1904.
This one modern vessel carries ten
carried by any treasure ship that sailed
the Spanish main in the time Of the old
buccaneers, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries the treasure ships sailing
from Mexico and South America and
from the Indies were objects of interest
to nations at war and to buccaneers
and pirates. Freebooting expeditions
were organized to capture them, and
fleets were maneuvered with the treas
ure they carried in mind. The sailing
Of treasure ship brought the bucca-
neers Of American waters into action,
and there was no safety even when the
treasure ships were guarded by war
vessels.
The western seas were then high
way beset with pirates and freebooters
acting often in the name of England,
France, or Holland. but always with
plumber in mind. These freebooters
became SO strong that they not only
conducted campaigns against the treas
ure ships of Spain, but organized gov
ernments and captured and held cities.
Nothing affords a sharper contrast
between the conditions of 100 or 200
years ago and now than the sailing of
the modern treasure ships from Amer
lean ports. No secret is made of their
sailing, and the amount of gold and
silver carried is published to the world.
No expeditions are organized to waylay
them. no plots are concocted to destroy
or capture them. !:
Under the rules Of the nations gov
erning ocean traffic, the treasure ship
is as safe at sea as is the fishing smack
There are no outlaws of the sea, and
there is no outlawry on the sea, be-
cause civilization united to suppress
piracy in all its forms, and to make
the ocean safe for all commerce. e.
