VEAL THY MAN A SUICIDE
FRIEND OF e. H. HARTMAN ENDS
LIFE WITH RAZOR.
President Of 100000 Union Trust
Company Cuts Throat In Nerv-
Gus Breakdown.

New York City Intimate friends
Of John W. Castles, president Of
the $70000,000 Union Trust com.
pany, Tuesday declared his suicide in
the Grand Union hotel was due to a
nervous breakdown caused by over
work and not to family troubles, as
has been reported. They say that Mr.
Castles was very happy in his home
life and that the only reason his wife
and children were not with him at the
time he killed himself, was due to his
physicians orders that he should have
complete rest
John w. Castles was one of the best
known financiers in the East. He was
born in Polk county, Texas, fifty-one
years ago. He built up one of the
largest wholesale drug businesses in
Texas at Waco, but in 1890 sold out
and went to New orleans, where he
bought an immense wholesale grocery
firm and later became president of the
Hibernian National bank. In 1904, he
became president of the Guaranty
Trust company. During the four years
he was its president, deposits grew
from s35,000,000 to $70,000,000
In 1908, at the close of the panic,
he became president of the Union
Trust company, and the great amount
of work that fell upon him in clearing
up conditions, broke his health.
For six months he has been under
the care of physicians and has done
no active work. He was great
friend of the late E. H. Hartman and
a director in a number of the Harri-
man railroads.

The deposed shah of Persia seems
to have struck good thing" flnan-
cially speaking. A few days ago it
was announced that he was offered an
annual pension of s25, 5000 If he would
get out and stay out of the country.
Now comes a dispatch saying the
present government has proposed to
pay the ex-shah $4,000 yearly if he
will deliver up the jewels known to
have been in his possession at the
time of his deposition. The govern
ment needs the jewels, probably to
turn them into money, and the gems
appear to be regarded as national
property, while Mohammed Ali, who
evidently thinks possession is nine
points of law, seems determined to
hold out for the best terms possible.
And the average oriental is slick" at
bargain.

TWO DROWN; ONE SAVED
St. Louis Man and Woman Victims of
Accident Near Merrimac, III.
Boat Is Upset.

St. Louis, Mo.-The bodies of
Edna Drownson and Charles Evans,
both of st. Louis, who were drowned
in the Mississippi river near Merri-
mac, ILL.,, Monday by the upsetting of
a boat, have been recovered. A third
member of the party, an unidentified
woman, was rescued.
The body of Miss Drownson was
found shortly after the tragedy and
the mans body was found later. Their
relatives are not known.
Merrimac is sixteen miles west Of
Waterloo and is nearly direct across
the river from Kimmswick, Mo. 1t
has neither telephone nor telegraph
communications and details of the
tragedy are meager.
1t is said the trio were fishing in
midstream when the boat was upset.
Miss Drownson and Evans disap-
peared, but the other woman caught
on the side of the boat and held there
until she was rescued. She was taken
to a nearby farm house and given
medical attention, but was hysterical
and unable to give any definite infor-
nation about herself or her compan-
ions.

POSTAL GARD FAD.

We common people do use few
postal cards annually. Uncle Sam is
Just now considering a contract for 81
600,000,000 postal cards to be sold
during the next four years-a matter
of 90,000000 year. These will cost
the government 100000, and the peo-
pie will pay s36,0O0,0O0 for them,
which also includes the cost Of deliv-
ering. But this does not comprise the
postal card output. We are now an
nually buying from Germany alone
700,000,000 postal cards, and also sew
eral millions from France and other
European nations. But Germany has
thus far had a cinch on the colored
Eostal card trade, for even American
publishers, instead of doing their own
printing and lithographing, have fouId
1t more profitable to place orders d.
rect with German houses. 1t is safe
to say that Americans buy 2,500,000..
900 postal cards a year-20 to 25 ior
each man, woman and child in the
country. More than half Of these are
of the picture variety. But suppose
Uncle Sam should invade the picture
postal field? What a howl would so
up rom the picture postal card max
ers.

ART OF PRUNING SHRUBBERY
Cut Twig or Branch Whenever II
Needs Removing Without Regard
to Time Of Year.

The art of pruning shrubbery is by
observation and practice and the ex-
ercise of gumption, says writer in
the American Cultivator.
A safe general rule is that when
ever you see twig or branch which
needs removing cut It off on sight, re-
gardless of time of year or other con-
ditions and when you don't see any
thing that needs removal don't prune
1t, regardless of rule or custom, and
for negative rule never shear a
shrub with hedge shears. The shear
Ing of lawn shrubs into bald pates,
suggestive Of convicts or sheared
sheep, displays ignorance of plants
and depravity of taste. To tho last
general rule make exception for to-
piary gardening-but the creation and
care Of topiary gardens and of for
NAL specimens Is a special art for
which all of the above suggestions
would have to be modified. If my
feeble sentences may be suggestive Of
useful afterthoughts In your minds
and In mine they will have accom-
plished all that l can hope for them.

That France regards safe submarine
evident in the launching at Cherbourg
of the largest submarine in the world
"a craft 229 feet inches long,
equipped with oil engines and driving
twin screws. This large submarine
boat is expected to nave a speed Of
is knots an hour on the surface and
ten knots when she is submerged, and
to have a radius action of $500 miles.
Submarines of this kind will be of
immense value for coast defense, and
Frances venture will doubtless signal

LOW COLONIST FARES TO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST.

Union Pacific Passenger Depart.
ment announces that Colonist Fares
will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct.
is, 1909, to all points in the West and
Northwest
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, to visit the many inter
esting points in the West and North
west, at which liberal stopover ar
rangements may be made.
A better estimate of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.

There seems o be no doubt that the
recent earthquakes in Mexico were
among the worst ever known there.
The practical destruction of Acapulco
and Chilpancingo places the calamity
in much the same class as that which
wrought such awful destruction in
Italy last December. The onl;- thing
that prevented what would have been
almost repetition of the Messina dis
aster is the fact that the Mexican
towns were smaller, and possibly less
substantially built. Hundreds of per-
sons in Messina fell victims to the
'crumbling of the solid houses shaken
down by the earth tremors.

kings life at dinner on the royal
yacht, by slapping him ON the back to
prevent his choking. almost precisely
parallels what happened to the Ger

BIG NEW LEAGUE
STRIKES A SNAG

The new, big baseball league, which
is expected to take over the park in
Moiliili and play a series of games this
summer, has struck small snag but
will probably be able to get around it
without difficulty. 1t appears that
while the old league is supposed to be
dead, it, technically, is not, and must
be dealt with in the negotiations now
pending. Charles Chillingworth stated
this morning that the obstacles would
likely not prove a serious impeachment.
The committee of one from each club
have not yet filed their lists of signed
players, but it is understood that they
are about ready to do so.
A meeting of the new league WILL
most likely be called for tomorrow
evening, at which Mr.. Chillingworth
Will make detailed report of his work
to date and the lists of players will be
received. 1t is hoped also, that the
matter of the papers for the property
required will have been Strengthened
out by that time
