MARGUERITE CODY DIES,
Aunt Of Buffalo Bill Found Dead in
Her Room at Denver.

Denver, June dead in bare lit
tie room at 301O Lawrence street,
where she had passed her last days in
poverty, Mrs. Marguerite Cody, aunt of
Buffalo Bill Cody. was found Sunday
morning by neighbors who had sup
nosed her last illness to be nothing
more than temporary weakness.
From one of the richest women in
Colorado, Mrs. Cody, whose name be-
came known all over America through
her connection with an attempt to
blackmail the estate of Jay Gould. had
been so pinched by destitution that at
the age of eighty-five she had been
compelled to sell pins and little trink-
cts to keep from starvation.
1t was shortly after the death of
Gould. when the multi-millionaire's es-
tate was to be settled that Mrs. Cody
achieved notoriety that would have
ended in her being sent to Sing Sing
had not Helen Gould interfered.
A Central City woman arranged with
Mrs. Cody to palm herself off as the
mother of child of Gould. According
to the evidence in the case Mrs Cody
was to support the claim of the other
woman by evidence substantiating her
acquaintance with the financier
The sum demanded was $4,000
Both women stuck to their stories
Mrs. Cody going to New York to fight
the claim. Helen Gould, however, re
fused to compromise and the case
went to the courts. There it was
speedily thrown out and the two wo
men were accused Of conspiracy.
The interference of Helen Gould
saved them. however and Mrs. Cody
again returned to Denver. In recent
years her mind seemed to have weak.
ened regarding the Gould case and al
the rare intervals she spoke of it it was
in way that showed that she was ir.
rational on the subject.

Mrs. Cody achieved prominence in the
city in many ways. She was a resi-
dent of Denver for more thaa forty.
five years and at one time was re
puted to be worth 100000. Property
in what is now the business portion
was held by her. Reverses came. how
ever, and one by one her possessions
passed from her. For the past decade
she has practically been penniless al
though she repeatedly refused to ac
cept aid from relatives.

Bonaparte to Succeed Morton.

Washington, June L. President
Roosevelt yesterday authorized the
announcement thai Charles j. Bona
parte of Baltimore would be appointed
secretary of the navy to succeed Paul
Morton, who earlier in the day stated
ne would retire July 1st to go to New
York to take charge of the plans for
the construction of the subway system
for operation in connection with the
surface lines.
The President also authorized the
statement that no other change in the
personnel of the Cabinet was likely to
take place soon. Secretary Shaw has
already indicated his intention of re-
firing from the Cabinet. Rumors of
Attorney General Moody's retirement
have been published, but it is known
TO be his intention to remain in the
Cabinet.
To all except President Roosevelts
closest advisers the announcement of
the selection OF Mr.. Bonaparte as the
head of the navy came as distinct
surprise, although it has been deter
mined on by the President for some
time, in anticipation of Mr.. Morton's
retirement.

MIKApo's ADVICE TO BOYS.
Wise Precepts Laid Down BY Seem
inqIy EnIiqhtened Ruler.

In view of the astounding progress
of Japan it is interesting to recall the
following rescript whicn was issued
by the emperor to the Japanese
schools some fifteen years ago. BE
filial to your parents and affectionate
to your brothers; be loving friends;
conduct yourselves with modesty and
be benevolent to all. Develop your
intellectual faculties and perfect your
moral powers by gaining knowledge
and acquiring profession. Promote
public interests and advance public
affairs. Ever respect the national con-
stitution and obey the laws of the
country, and, in case of necessity,
courageously sacrifice yourselves to
the public good" Recent events have
proved that the last injunction at
least was taken to iloart by the youth
of Japan.-The Graphic.

Some years ago" said an army Of.

a soldier who was injured while out
hunting in the far West On q pass was
disabled in the line Of duty and there

that as hunting is encouraged by mill

what he was encouraged to do was
not thereby taken out Of the line OF
duty.
Following the precedent establish
ed in that case. the department has
recently held that a soldier whose leg
was broken by being run over by a
street car was disabled in the line OF
duty. In this case it appears that the
soldier was absent from his post on
