THE TRAGEDY OUTLINED.
For a clear understanding Of the
tragedy it is of Importance to first
glance at the personality of its central
hure. DR.. Love was at the time of his
sudden death on board a Transatlantic
liner, in 1903, one Of the best known
physicians in New York City. or, for
that matter, in the whole United
States. He had been only a few years
resident in New York City. but he was
already prominent both socially and
professionally by reason Of the nigh
position in both respects which had
been his in the West For many years
a resident Of St. Louis. he was ac-
the West, and. with his beautiful and
accomplished wife, he was recognized
as ore Of the social leaders of the Mis-
sissippi Valley.
They, the rich and highly respected
Loves, had two beautiful children. a
girl named. as by fatalistic instinct.
Delphine, and a boy. Hodgins They
were bright, clever and beautiful chill

But here the biography of the ply.
stefan must be interrupted by the be-
ginnings OF that of the idolized cir
child Delphine. In her. the beautiful
child just budding into womanhood, the
fates were beginning subtly to wreaH

Had ALI Kinds of Money

Some Of the strange facts in the life
Of Nehemiah H. Cutter of Arlington.
Mass, in whose room at his home there
were found nearly $4,000 in cash and a
large number of valuable stocks and
bonds, were told by former Mayor B. r.
Johnson Of Waltham. Mr. Johnson's in
vestigation led to the find.
Mr.. johnson says he has known Mr..
Cutter, who was recently committed 70
the Danvers Insane asylum, for fifty
years.
Mr.. Johnson's first business experience
with Cutter was some years ago, when
the state took a small parcel of land
belonging to the Cutters in Medford. All
but Nehemiah were willing to sign Off,
but he persistenly refused. At this time
1t was evident to the state officials that
Cutter was insane, and Mr.. johnson was
appointed guardian. Of the man.
After the land question was settled
Mr.. Johnson dropped out of the guardian
ship. Mr. johnson heard no more from
Cutter until a short time ago, when
an agent of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals called upon
him here in Waltham and told him that
Cutter had been abusing his cattle It
is alleged that he kept his cattle chained
until the chains cut into the flesh. Mr.
Johnson Informed the agent that Cutter
was insane and IT would be useless to
bring him into court. 1t was then decided
to have him sent to Danvers, which was
done about two weeks ago.
After Cutter was taken to the asylum
$469 was found in an old wallet he carried
Mr. johnson learned from the mans sis
ter that no one except Cutter himself
had been inside of the room occupied by
him for more than ten years. The door
was kept locked and barred.
once inside the room Mr. Johnson found
that Cutter had a regular arsenal, there
being a loaded shotgun, a loaded revolver
and an ugly-looking knife, all near the
bed In bureau drawer were a guam

tity of silver pieces Of all denominations
from 10 cents to 81.
Further search that day brought forth
IS, 500 in gold bills and silver. The next
day Mr.. johnson discovered more money
in boxes, on shelves, in closets and thrown
into corners of the room. There was
half bushel of half dollars, quarters,
dimes and nickels thrown about loosely
while the bills were all wrapped UP in
small bundles and tied with common
Irvine. The bills were folded inside Of
old newspapers
The third day Mr.. Johnson turned the
attention to the bed occupied by Cutter.
After he had removed the old rags and
stuff with which it was covered he dis
covered that instead of bed he simply
had a spring which rested on two chests.
When these chests were finally opened
more gold and stocks were found which
brought the amount UP to $4,000.
Among the securities were two $1,000
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy per cent
bonds with $500 worth Of uncut coupons;
two city of Chicago water bonds of $500
each with 500 worth Of uncut coupons;
certificates of twenty-eight shares of the
old Michigan Central railroad stock. Eight
can of these shares were dated 1880 and ten
dated 1886.
-Four savings bank books showing depos-
its of s. .OOO we're also found One of them
was issued by the Savings institution of
Cambridge in 1856 to Abigail Cutter,
mother of Nehemiah. The first deposit was
S5O This book was assigned to Cutter in
1884 He never added a deposit to this
book.
In 1888 his father deposited 81 900 in the
Charlestown Five Cents Savings bank. In
1885 this book was assigned to Abigail
Cutter, the mother and upon her death, IN
1887 II was assigned to Cutter. He never
added to the deposits.
In 1885 he opened an account himself
with the Arlington Savings bank. No
deposit was made there since 1902. In 1882
he opened an account in the Cambridge
port Savings bank, but never made sec
ond deposit The cash, with interest on all
Of these books, footed up about 5000.
Mr.. Johnson found evidence TO show
that at times Cutter would take inven-
tories Of his cash, as slips Of paper were
found with long lists of figures all added
up and totals made out.
In all the silver found there was but
one counterfeit, a half dollar. There
were a few trade dollars and some mu-
tilated coins. There were 200 cents. Some
of the gold pieces, which ranged from $3.50
to $40, were as bright as the day they were
coined. while many of the bills were crisp
and fresh
Mr.. Johnson says he intends to sell of
al OF the property that belonged to Cutter
and settle up his estate, as he feels that
Cutter will never again leave the asylum

Dr. Dudley Sargent, director Of the Hem
enway gymnasium at Harvard, has In
vented new game very much like basket
ball and he will soon begin some expert
mental games with IT. The teams to play
the game will consist Of twelve or sixteen
men, preferably sixteen, and play will be
held in a field 100 feet square. There are to
be four goals, one on each side of the
square, the two opposite ones to be de-
Tended by the same team. The field is
marked of with a twenty-hve-foot square
in each corner and ifty-root square In the
middle. The remaining four spaces in front
Of the goals, 25x5O feet. are to be occupied
by two goal tenders and two opponents.
In the center square there are to be four
men from each team, and In each corner
square one man from each team. The play
ers are not allowed to leave their assigned
spaces. The rules Of the game are very
much like basket ball except that the kinds
Of goals and methods Of scoring are en-
tirely different DR.. Sargent hopes to get
up game of much more interest, excite
ment and variety than basket ball.

It is reported that Harvard is seriously
considering the acceptance of an invitation
from England to send a lacrosse team to
the other side in order to encourage the
cordial relations between the college men
of the United States and England The
invitation was originally for a team of un-
dergraduates, but owing to the fact that
the lacrosse season in England is in the
fall and lasts we'll into the winter the un-
dergraduate team will be unable to get

Haverford game has not yet been definitely
decided.
on the subject Of foot ball fatalities the
Cornell sun prints the following: The
enemies Of foot ball point each year to the
number OF deaths attributable 70 this game
as a main point Of difference between this
sport and the others. They do not seem
to realize that other popular sports intro
duce the element OF danger also. and prob
ably to as great a degree. For instance,
the figures collected by the Brooklyn Citi-
zen regarding the number OF base ball
deaths in the east alone this year would
seem to indicate that base ball. contrary to
the popular belief, is far more dangerous
pastime than foot ball. Twelve base ball
players were killed during the last season
through actual participation in the game
Beside this number a dozen spectators were
killed in falling OF roofs or by some similar
accident This list is much larger than the
eastern foot ball casualties Of last year"

The latest thing in trusts or combines,
is that which three Americans at present in
London have got in hand. Their intention is
to buy up all bulldogs of the one strain,
that of the stone" blood, or family. which
gave to the world the best dog OF its type,
that named after Sir Conan Doyle's novel,
Rodney Stone" That dog was sold by
Mr. Walter Jeffries Of Denmark Hill, Lon
don for $500 to Richard Croker, and when
the dog died I'm America there became quite
a craze to buy up that special strain OF
blood. The result is that the fancy over
there will pay any figure for a dog whose
pedigree can truthfully show an infusion
or splash of the stone" blood. The Lon
don bulldog fanciers aver that the Yankees
will have to pay dearly for what they are
seeking. English breeders know their value
full well Very few stone" dogs come on
the market, for it is the most favored
strain in the fancy. The Yankees will not
get much change out Of $500 cheque for
any stone" dog displaying anything of the
regularly accepted standard Of quality.

All rates, Discrimination and secret
