HEIR TO MILLIONS 4 suicide
Thomas 0. lones, Of Pittshurg,
Shoots Himself.
Was Practically Head Of Jones &
LaughIin Steel Works, and Would
Have Inherited $50 900 900.

PittsDurg, Pa.-Thomas O'Conor
Jones. assistant general manager Of
the jones & Laughlin Steel Company,
heir to a fortune estimated at $50, 0O0,-
600. worth himself several millions,
and social leader in Pittsburg, killed
himself at the Hotel Schenley, where
he and bis mother, Mrs. Cecilia c.
Jones Murdoch, occupied apartments.
No cause can be assigned for the
suicide other than that the young man
had been i'll for some time past, and
that he believed his ailment would
cause him either to go blind OF become
insane. The only mystery surround
ing the suicide is as to how he OBJ
tanned the revolver with which he
killed himself. The Coroner believes
it was struggled into his room by some
person whom he paid to do it. Every
effort was made to keep the fact that
he had killed himself a secret, his rela-
tive going so far as to attempt to have
the Coroner suppress the facts.
All the arrangements had been made
to take Jones to Cambridge Springs.
In statement which she made to the
Coroner, Mrs. Murdoch said that she
had spent most of the evening before
the suicide in her sons room preparing
for the trip.
She went to bed about midnight but
entered his room again at o'clock and
found her son seated at a window
They talked together for some time,
and then she retired. At 4 o'clock
she was awakened by a revolver shot.
Running into her sons room, she
found him lying on the bed. She
raised his head and soon afterward
he died in her arms.
Thomas O'Conor Jones was the only
child of the late George w. Jones,
brother of B. r.. Jones, former Chair
man of the National Republican Com.
mittee. When his father died he left
all of his vast fortune to his wife
and their only child, who has taken
his life. Mrs. Jones married DR. #. H.
Murdoch, well-known physician, who
is at present in Boston attending a
medical convention. Jones, who was
just entering his thirty-sixth year, was
graduate Of Yale, and had been in
the steel business ever since he left
college. He was member Of the
Pittsburg University and Allegheny
County Clubs, as well as number Of
New York clubs.

on the bank of the stream all day and
not a fish to show for the days sport,
but II he has had a few dozen bites he
will be satisfied. To this class of fish
ernen the trap shown here will be
of little interest. The inventor has
utilized the principles of the animal
traps and adapted them for use in
the water There Is little chance for
the fish getting away once he is i'm
paled, and the latter is easily accom-
plished, The trap is suspended in the
water on a dipsy, the bait being on
the end Of line in the centre. When
the fish pulls on the bait spring is
released, bringing the sections together
and impaling him. 1t was designed
particularly for catching cells and cat
fish, effectually preventing their es-
cape.

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

A small portion of orris root put in
to the ordinary washing water will
impart a delicate perfume to the
clothes.
To keep the color of parsley, dip it
for minute or two in boiling water,
then shakc off the water and chop fine
for soup or sauce.
A little thin cold starch rubbed over
windows and mirrors and then wiped
off with a soft cloth is an easy way Of
producing most shining results.
Two potatoes grated in basin Of
warm water will give better results
than soap in washing delicate flannel
or wooen goods. ribbons, etc.
Piano keys can be cleaned, as can,
any old ivory, by being rubbed with
muslin dipped in alcohol. If very vel
low, use piece of flannel moistened
with cologne water.
A bottle of camphor or oil OF cedar
With the cork left out, if hung on
hook in the closet will keep away
moths without imparting disagree
able odor to the clothing.
The possessor Of very brittle nails
should rub them at night with cold
cream or vaseline, or, if they go to the
other extreme, and are soft and tender,
wax and alum will harden them.
A new idea in celery and apple salad
is to CRATE the apples. which should be
tart and firm, into the mayonnaise
dressing. The celery, shredded and
crisp, should be served on chilled let
tuce leaves, with apple mayonnaise
poured over.
To clean velvet first brush or shake
out all Of the dust and remove any
grease stains with benzine If it needs
freshening pass the wrong side first
over bowl of boiling water and then
over hot iron. II it is badly crushed
brush carefully with soft brush.
Moist hands are ruinous 10 light
coIored gloves. A good remedy for the
trouble is to battle them frequently
with mixture composed of two ounces
Of cologne and one-quarter ounce of
tincture Of belladonna. After this is
rubbed well into the hands they may
be sprinkled with talcum powder.

CHICAGO TURNS FROM MEAT.
Home of the Packing Industry Becomes
a Vegetarian City.

cago.-Chicago is turning to the
diet of the vegetarian. Meats are
spurned by people all over the city.
The greatest slump ever experienced
in the demand for meat for consump-
ton in the homes, hotels and restaur-
ants Of Chicago is on, because Of the
publication of the NeiIl- Reynolds re-
port
Fish dealers are rejoicing because
the down turn In the meat trade has
brought brisk demand for fish. In
many homes and hotels dishes in which
cheese and eggs figure prominently
have supplanted roast and broiled
meats.
Meat market men generally admitted
that the disclosures affecting the
methods of the big packers at the stock
yards have caused falling off In retail
business. The decrease in sales of
sausages and other manufactured prod
ucts from the packing plants is de-
clared to have been from thirty five to
forty per cent throughout the city.

A BUDDING MUSIC CRITIC.
Western Editor Ventures Into Strange
Fields

Western Editor Ventures Into Strange
Fields.
The editor OF paper published In
Little Rock was once in receipt of
complimentary copy of musical COM
position by an Arkansas friend, says
the Success Magazine.
Feeling that he was called upon to
make some acknowledgment Of the
courtesy, the editor did so in this wise:
AS the editor of this paper doesn't
know demisemiquaver from a diapS-
son, or bass clef from a high c. he
will not, therefore, be expected to give
an extended notice Of this production.
We can say, however. that the type
used in printing the composition is
clear and plain, and that the paper APP
pears to be OF the best quality OF rag.
The design on the front page is most
artistic, and the words are as tender
as a real spring chicken and as poetic
as the song Of the meadow lark on a
May morning. The melody is sound
and all right, with no windgalis or col
lar marks. The harmony, too. appears
TO be strictly O. K, with no patent de-
fects or noticeable blemishes. The to-
nality is clear and resonant, and rests
on harmonic relations and melodic ele-
ments. This is about all the praise in
connection with said composition we
are able to evolve from our cabbage
favored temperament"
