Deceased gave but little outward
evidence of his fatal intentions, but
held singular views relative to the
future, having given expression to the
fact that he would be sent to the poor
farm. This with other little troubles
weighed on his mind and the hallu-
cination seemed to have become a
burden which he decided to lift by
SELF destruction.
He was in fair circumstances and
was known throughout the county as
a mar Of jovial disposition and APP
peared to treat the cares Of this world
lightly, yet was possessed of a secret
melancholia which ended in suicide.
He leaves a wife and several children
to mourn his sudden and sad end.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE is

London, May 15.-Miss Florence
Nightingale, the famous Crimean war
nurse, who shares with the philan-
thropic Baroness Burdett-Coutts the
honor of being one of England's grand
old women, was eighty-six years old
today. Miss Nightingale lives in quiet
retirement in a house in the outskirts
of London which she has occupied for
many years. Here she received today
a number of personal friends who
called to congratulate her on her birth
day. Others who remembered the an
niversay, among them King Edward
and Queen Alexandra, sent her person
al messages of felicitation. Though
she has been an invalid for many
years Miss Nightingale continues to
take an active interest in ali that con-
Germs the profession which she made
famous.
Miss Nightingale was born at Flor
ence and named after the City of Flow
ers. Originally her patronymic was
Shore, and it was only on her father
inheriting the estate of her uncle,
Peter Nightingale, that he assumed
the name of the testator.

devote herself to sick nursing. 1t was
only natural that with her experience
in nursing and her talent for organi-
cation she should be placed at the
head of the band of volunteer nurses,
composed wholly of women of good
family, who started out for the Crimea
in response to the public appeal for
nurses made by Sir Robert Peel and
Sir William Russell, the correspond
ent of the London Times at the seat
of war, and who. like Miss Nightin-
gale, still survives.
Modesty has always been Nightin-
gales principal characteristic. She
refused all public ovations on her re
turn from the Crimea, and when the
nation and the army presented her
with testimonial of $250.OOO in rec
ignition of her services she declined
to receive it.
