stand third in the matter Of relative I'm
portance. however, when the question
of commissioned and enlisted personnel

where Japan has ~ officers of faa
rank-that is. Rear-Admirals, Vice-Ad-
mirals and Adnlirals-the United States

BENEDICT CIMBEL'
PASSES AWAY
Philadelphia Merchant Dies of Self
Inflicted Wounds.
HIs FAMILY WAS AT DEATHBED

New York. April 2S.-The body oi
Benedict Gimbel, the Philadelphia
merchant, who cut his throat and
wrists soon after he had been arrested
on serious charges, and who died in
ST. Marys hospital, HobOken, was TAX
en- to Philadelphia. The coroner was
called to the hospital, but as the case
was plain a certificate of death giving
/ suicide as the cause was given and the
body turned over to the family.
He died in the arms of his devoted
wife, who had been at his bedside ever
since the day he was found in the lit
tie room in the Palace Hotel with his
windpipe partially severed by a Jagged
piece of broken water pitcher and the
blood flowing from a cut artery in the
wrist.
Charles and Isaac Gimbel, brothers,
were also in attendance at the last,
and there was an effecting scene when
Benedict Gimbel at last succumbed to
the exhaustion caused by the great
loss of blood.
When the dying man finally fell back
on his pillow and breathed his last,
Mrs. Gimbel swooned and was carried
from the death chamber by her broth
ers-in-law. So prostrated was she by
the sudden collapse of her husband
after day of varying hopes and fears
that her relatives took her to Phila-
delphia, where she was placed in
charge of physicians.
That the mental strain under which
Mr. Gimbel labored because of his ar
rest was one of the important con-
tributing causes of his failure to re-
cover from his wound is the opinion
of DR.. Jurist. the family physician, who
came from Philadelphia - attend him.
1t was only by the constant use of |
stimulants that the patient was kept
alive Sunday. the doctor said. Mr. /
Gimbel's evident desire to die even
after the arrival of the members of his .
family, who vainly did their best to en- /
courage him to live and fight for his
liberty also greatly operated to the
of the doctors who were
to save his life. Mrs. Gimbel
had rooms at the hospital, where she
could be called at a moments notice,
and was almost constantly at his bed
side endeavoring to overcome his de-
sire to be relieved of his troubles by
death.
Members of the family had strong
hopes that. if Mr.. Gimbel recovered,
the charges against him could be over
come by the plea of insanity, and they
had engaged Mr. Shields. of Philadel-
1hia, to assist Daniel O'Reilly, of this
,ity, as counsel to fight the case. They
lad planned to send Mr. Gimbel to an
asylum if they were successful in
,ourt.

INTELLIGENCE OF SQUIRRELS.

ut is surprising to note, - the Dun
dee Advertiser observes, the various
means employed by squirrels TO escape
detection. One may fatten himself out
against a gray patch on the back of
a tree trunk, absolutely motionless; and
unless in your earnest, steadfast look
ing you can detect an ear or shoulder
in relief against the sky YOU might as
well abandon search Another may lie
along a bough fattened at full length;
but here the telltale ears are more
easily seen. Still another may crouch
drawn up in the fork of a branch, and
here the thing to look for is the fluffy
tip of the tail. Again, one may gather
himself up in a bunch to initiate
knot, and here he can very well tell
when you have spied him out. He will
catch your eyes even as You catch the
eye of an acquaintance in crowd, and
viii instantly start on a headlong flight,
leaping from tree to tree, till ne van
ishes from your sight.
