A FAMOUS MAN ENDS HIS DAYS.
Robert D. McMonigle Found Dead Ia
Pittsburq Hotel.

Pittsburg, Pa, July Robert D.
MacGonigle, famous throughout the
United States as an author, philan-
thropist, clubman, lecturer and pro-
moter Of gentlemen's sports, was
found dead at the fashionable hotel
Lincoln, where he had gone and
engaged room. The coroner
refuses to say whether MacGonigle
committed suicide or not. Everything
points to that conclusion.
MacGonigle was last seen alive
when he went to his room early Tues
day evening. He appeared to be In
the best of spirits at that time. When
he failed to leave his room the door
was forced open and he was found
dead in his room, an empty vial on the
dresser having contained a solution OF
choral. The coroner's Office was at
once notified and the body was re-
moved to Wilson's undertaking rooms
in Allegheny, where 1t was prepared
for burial.
Coroner Joseph G.. Armstrong said
that the case was a most mysterious
one. He would commit himself no fur
tner.
Mr.. MacGonigle was So years OF
age, and few years ago his fortune
was estimated at several million dol
lars. He was the founder of the Allie
gheny light company, afterwards alb.
sorbed by the Philadelphia company.
He devoted almost his entire life to
charity He founded the Kingsley
house, the Pittsburg golf club, the
Pittsburg country club and the Du-
quesne riding club. which holds the
fittsburg horse show. The greater
part of his money he gave away, and
recently he lost 100000 on an unwise
speculation. Then his friends desert
ed him and he became morose. Some
months ago he made trip to Califor-
MIA with John Tindall, the son-in-law
of Senator Knox after which he wrote
a book, when l Went West" which
he dedicated to Mr.. Tindall. Mr. Mac.
Gonigle's wife died some years ago.

Favorable Reception on Island.
Kansas City, July Z. - DIR. B. A. Gal
lagher, who has for six months been
sistant chief of it's new department OF
animal industry, returned to Kansas
City, and says:
The Cubans haven't many native
cattle left. They had about 100000
before the war and all but about per
cent vanished. They are shipping in
from Texas, Venezuela and Colombia,
and some milk cattle from Florida.
They don care for fat cattle there.
They want the lean meat The fat is
cut away and is waste All the cattle
are full of ticks, but they are immune.
The ticks get so heavy on the cattle
sometimes that they don't do well, but
an effort Is made to keep them washed
off.
THE Colombian and Venezuelan
cattle are big and seem to be what the
Cubans want They are sold at so
much per animal and not by tho
pound, except in the Havana market.
All are sold for immediate slaughter
to supply the daily trade in fresh
meat. There is no expectation.
"The ham one gets in Cuba is fms
and sweet The hog is just the ordt
nary old razor back Of the country
but it feeds on nuts and makes fine
meat. There are very few sheep in
the country American sheep don't
do well-they have too much wool,
The Spanish sheep, with but little
wool, is raised to some extent. Goats
kept for milk, are plentiful"

The following we'll written sketch of
st. Mary's Catholic parish contained
recently in a souvenir edition Of the
Western World will be of interest to
The many members Of that church and
of the faith in Ottunnwa:
In the year 1847 several Catholic
families came to Iowa from their
homes in PARKWAY Holland and settled
IN Ottumwa. For three years, until
1850, they we're without a priest to
minister to their spiritual wants. The
bishop Of Dubuque, being notified of
The state of affairs sent Father Villar
10 care for this small flock
Shortly after this colony of Irish
Catholics settled in Ottumwa, coming
from New Orleans, La Father Hatten-
berg, who was then stationed at Fort
Madison, with missions at various
other places in the state, came several
times a year and ministered to the
wants of what is known now as st.
Mary's parish. 1t was during the pc
Rod of his mission there, which was
rom 1850 to 1854, that the first
church was built, small brick build
ng completed in 1852, and which was
situated where the parochial residence
aow stands, In 1854 Very Rev. John
kreckel. the first resident priest,
came to take charge. For forty-five
years, with energy and zeal, Father
kreckel worked among his people.
Soon after his arrival he sent for the
Sisters Of the Visitation to come and
look after the education of his children
and then began to build the convent,
which is now st. Josephs academy.
In 1851 st. Mary's church was built
and the old church was utilized as the
parochial school for boys. Afterward

Flowers and Plumage.

When a combination Of tipts is re-
CURED, plumage is generally resorted
to. flowers OF a different color from the
hat shape being mostly reserved for
trimming under the brim. For this
purpose, pink or yellow roses are
often chosen, and also white and palest
pink camelias, with their own green
leaves. A somewhat daring harmony
consists in the choice Of two long os-
trich tips, one of bright rose pink,
the other q brilliant copperish red, as
trimming for cigar-brown felt. I
have also seen dark moss-green felt
hat trimmed with three tips, one tur-
,c M, blue, another saffron yellow and
