 Gloom In State House.
 The death of Dr. Shirley Bragg, which took place in such a tragic way at his home on Perry street today, has cast a gloom over the state house and not a man there but who is walking easy and carrying a sad face, for he was a greatly beloved man by all who had the good fortune to know him well. He had in d modest way gone in and out before the hosts of the state, and not one but had at times been the recipient of his atten- ton.
 q loved Dr. Bragg as I did few men, said Leon McC.ord, secretary of the su- preme court. this afternoon. "He was ever kind and watchful of the interests of others. He was fin my office yesterday and talked of his trip west, of his health and his great suffering at times with the nervous malady of which he was a victim. He said that at times he suf- fered so that he could not tell what he was doing. l have seen him suffer until l felt that l would have given anything to have aided him. He was great help to the state and the people can i'll afford to lose him now.'
 It was the same story all over the building Men were eager to hear the details of his end and to know just what he said or did beforehand to indicate his intention. When told that he left no note or word there were many to express the hope that after all it was an accident and that he did not intend to take his own life, even though the living of it was all the time an excruciating pain.

The desire fer manhood suffrage in
Prussia and the refusal Of tile German
chancellor, Won Buelow, to meet the de-
mand with consideration, eliminated last
Sunday in a tremendous demonstration
at Berlin, where more than 10000 So
c~ialists and their friends attempted to
parade the principal streets and to held
public meetings. Prior to this a pro-
cession before the Parliament building
had been dispersed by the police with
great violence after the Landtag had
voted down the suffrage proposition with
u division. Won Buelow had told the
Landtag that parades and riots would not
influence the government a bit. Sternest
measures were taken to preserve order on
Sunday, large bodies of police and sol
diers being stationed about the city, In
most cases the parades were broken up,
the police charging with swords and the
people resisting with clubs and stones,
SO that many on both sides were injured.
Thousands of women Joined in the demon
strations, marching and singing with the
men. Resolutions for the suffrage and
the secret ballot were passed by all the
meetings. The movement extends through
out Prussia.
