Good swimmer-Ascended from
Sunday Pleasure Park.

Belleville. n. J.. May 3l.-A twenty-year-
old aeronaut, Fred L. Wood. Of S56 Chapel
street, New Haven, Conn, plunged down
into the Passaic River with his parachute
after a balloon ascension from Hillside
Pleasure Park, in Belleville, this after
noon. and was drowned. Apparently. an
American flag. which he had been waving,
got entangled with his legs. and prevented
him from swimming ashore.
Wood had been engaged for the season
to go up every Sunday afternoon at Belle
vile. To-day. as he was buckling around
his waist the strap that would keep him
glued to the parachute in case of a fall.
he said TO a bystander:
Predicted Fall I'm Water.
Know where l am going TO land this
time? 1t will be either in that lake over
there or over in the Passa!c River. But
I'm a good swimmer Don't worry"
The balloon, which was a hot-air one.
shot up several hundred feet and was
borne northeasterly across the Nutley
town line. a mile from Belleville. A
crowd Of 90O6 persons in the Hillside
Park witnessed the ascension. Wood cut
loose a large American flag. and while
still waving the flag. he cut away from
the balloon with his parachute The big
umbrella opened all right. Wood swung
by one hand from the trapeze bar and
saluted the crowd with the other. His
descending form passed out of sight
across the skylines Of trees. and the peo-
PIE in the park went home supposing that
they had seen a successful fight
Watchers Heard Calls for Help.
But persons stationed along the banks
Of the Passaic, near Avondale. heard the
seronaut shouting and apparently trying
to furl the flag. which had been blown
around his legs The parachute carried
him out over the middle of the river and
dropped into the stream. The parachute
and Wood soon disappeared.
Wood came to the surface at once and
shouted for help. The persons along
shore scurried up and down and called
out to each other that man was. drown
ing, but no move was made to save him.
Wood rose to the surface a couple Of
times and finally went down. The body

DIED FOR Her LOVE
EmersOn's Suicide Due to
Girl Marrying Another.
WAS SIMPLE MOUNTAIN MAID
Wealthy Harvard Man and Class
mate of President Roosevelt Shot
Himself in the AdirOndacks when
She Refused Him on Account of
Religious Differences.

New York, May 31.-It was learned to-
day that Frederick W. Emerson. the
wealthy Bostonian and classmate Of
President Roosevelt at Harvard. who shot
himself in his summer home at Upper
Lake in the Adirondacks. a, few days
ago, committed suicide because Of his
unrequited love for a beautiful young
woman.
Mr.. Emerson never took part in the
social functions Of the locality. and was
looked upon as a confirmed bachelor by
his neighbors and the summer population.
After many ineffective attempts to draw
him out, the match-makers gave it up
as a bad job.
Won by Mountain Maid.
1t is now known. however that Emer-
son was not the woman-bater that some
supposed him to be, but that the last few
years of his life were given up to a
consuming passion for an Adirondack
maiden Of the French-Canadian race. and
that the tragedy that took place on the
shores Of the mountain lake was the cul-
mination of her marriage to a Canadian
physician. and the realization that she
was lost TO him forever
The object of Mr.. Emerson's affection
was a product Of the North Woods. un-
tutored. uncultured, but with all the
vivacity and charm of the race from
which she had sprung
Religion in the Way.
Emerson. was thrown constantly in con-
tact with her, and it is said again and
again endeavored 10 make her his wife.
But a great obstacle stood in the way.
He was not of her faith and though re-
specting him as a friend, she could not
take him as her husband.
Some months ago the girl was married
to a Montreal physician and is now liv-
ing in a Western State. From the hour
of her marriage Emerson was changed
man. and frequently stated to intimate
tolerable to him. Last February. with
his secretary and his Adirondack guide.
he started on trip to the West for the
purpose. IL is now understood. of looking
once more upon the face Of the woman
he loved so WELL but the strain upon
his mind was too much for him. and the
trip was abandoped
The grief-stricken man was soon there.
after placed by his relatives in a sana-
toiium in Providence, r. l. Escaping
from that institution. he hurried to Tup-
per Lake. shot himself, and died with
the name OF the woman he had loved
upon his lips.

Former Executive Far Enough Re-
covered from Recent Illness that
He Is Able TO Leave Resort Kept
Open Six Weeks Past Close of Sea-
son Because of His Presence.

Lakewood, y. J.. May Sl.-Looking fully
as well as when he came here three
months ago, former President Grover
Cleveland. leaning heavily on a cane.
came from his room in the Lakewood
Hotel. late this afternoon. walked down
stairs unaided, entered the big automo-
bile belonging to John Hays Hammond.
and left here for Princeton.
Mrs. Cleveland. who had hurried back
from the New England States. where she
went on Friday with her children, ac-
companied him.
When Mr.. Cleveland came down stairs.
he greeted all of the hotel employees who
have remained here since the house
closed, six weeks ago. and thanked Man
ager Becker and the engineer Of the
hotel. R. G. Ferguson, for all they had
done TO make his stay comfortable. He
then held an impromptu reception on the
hotel porch with a number Of his friends
in the cottage colony. who had been
quietly informed Of his leaving. At the
conclusion Of the leave-taking. he en-
tered the automobile, and a slow run
was made TO Princeton. where he ar
rived at o'clock tonight. He stood the
journey well.
Inquiry at Mr.. Cleveland's home to-
night ELECTED the information that he
had suffered no inconvenience, and was
resting comfortably. It was also said
that Mr.. Cleveland had recovered from
his recent serious illness to such an ex-
tent that his complete restoration to
health is confidently looked for.
AIr. Cleveland's children are In New
Hampshire. but Mrs. Cleveland will re-
main with her husband at Princeton, for
the present, at least. His further move
ments will be determined by his physical
condition
