is Frustrated with grief over the death Of
her husband.
The business affairs of Mr.. Delamater are
being settled by S. P. Austin, his son-!n-
law.
Mr. Delamater. former state senator and
republican candidate In 1890 for governor
OF Pennsylvania, killed himself by sending
a bullet through his head in the Office OF
the Pennsylvania Steel Tie Company, Of
which he was president In the Diamond
National Bank building yesterday after
noon.
His friends say that melancholia because
OF the death Of his son month ago caused
him TO kill himself Mr.. Delamater left
letter 20 his son-in-law. Shirley Austin. In
which he is said 10 have written that his
sons death was too much for him. All Mr..
Delamater's insurance and private papers
were found stacked UP on his desk with the
note to Shirley Austin.
Mr.. Delamater prevented interruption by
locking the doors OF his private office. The
noise Of the shot, heard in the next room,
brought two business associates In.
Mr.. Delanater was born in Meadville
March 81, 1919. His political career began
with his election as mayor Of Meadville in
1876 He was admitted 20 the bar IN Craw
ford county. After three years practice he
entered into business. He was member
OF the banking house oNDeiamater & Co.,
director of the Mercharfts' National Bank
OF Meadvile and President and owner of
the Meadvtlle Fuel Gas Company.
In 1880 he was chosen as one OF the Penn
sylvania Garfield presidential electors He
was elected to the state senate IN 1855.
-Four years later Senator Delamater was
nominated as opponent to Gov. Pattson.
meeting defeat at the polls. Mr.. Delamater
was the eighth In descent from Claude lie
Maitre who came from Holland in 1852.
After his defeat IN the campaign for gov
ernor In 1890 Mr.. Delamater met with finan-
cial difficulties. Before the end of that
year his bank at Meadville failed. and Mr.
Delamater became a bankrupt. He left
Pennsylvania for the northwest a short
time later and for seven or eight years
practiced law In Seattle and other cities in
Washington and in Oregon. Upon his re-
turn TO Pittsburg he became local agent for
several New York life insurance companies
In which work he was active at the time of
his death. besides being connected In the
steel tie business. He is survived by his
wife and one daughter. He resided in Ken
lucky avenue, East End.
The defeat of Mr.. Delamater for governor
OF Pennsylvania in 1880 was unexpected in
every way. This campaign split the repub-
lcan party in Pennsylvania. Politicians in
western Pennsylvania declined to work for
Senator NJ. s. Quay's selection, Mr.. Della
mater, and turned TO help Pattison, the
democratic candidate.

DOODLE MONEY.
Advantage>of Paper Over Gold Shown
in San Francisco.

From the New York Sun.
Here is a new phase Of the paper money
question:
The banks of San Francisco had for q
year or more been mystifed by an unpre-
cedented demand for currency. The people
Of the Golden state have always eschewed
Cncle SANS notes; they have insisted on
the hett and ring OF coin. So when cells
came on the cashiers for thousands and

explanation.
