Weary of the gay viii Of society,
and face to face. as Sic believed, with
years of physical suffering Mrs Pierre
LOrillard, Jr., aged forty-nine, wife of
the tobacco magnate, committed sui
eide by asphyxiaiOn at her home near
the fashionable DUPONT Circle, in
Washington. Her tragic death has
shocked the first social circles of the
capital as nothing else in years. In
spite of the coroner's certificate of
death by suicide, members of the fam
lily declare that Mrs. Lorillard died Of
heart failure.
The death was made more dramatic
by occurring only a few hours after
Mr.. and Mrs. Lorillard had been the
guests of Mrs. Townsend, on Massa-
chusetts avenue, at a dinner given in
honor of Lady Paget In fact, it is be-
lieved that as soon as Mrs. LOrillard
arrived at her home at 2030 Hillyer
Place, she began to prepare for her
heart failure. She is survived by her
husband and two children.

Mrs. Irene B. Myers, Delaware

more than three years l suffered from
kidney trouble and sharp, cutting
pains through : my loins and sides.
At times l had a dull, heavy pain
through my back that made me mis-
cradle and was subject to headache
and spells of dizziness, when every
thing blurred before my eyes. When

procured a box at Clifton & Ray

Earle alleges that Earle is of un.

their marriage, although she did not
become convinced of this until about
Jan. II of this year.
Furthermore, she says, Earle was
incapable of legally contracting mar
rage because at the time he had 2
wife living, % whom he was married
in Paris in 1903. The plaintiff at the
time believed Earle's assertion that he
had secured a divorce from a court of
competent jurisdiction, but she is now
convinced that the first marriage is
still valid and in full force.
Mrs. Earle asks that she be awarded
the custody of their infant child, Ed

resume her maiden name. The child
if her suit is successful, will also as

KetcheII Defeats o,Rrien.

Not since the repeal of the Horton
law which stopped the big fictic bouts
in New York city has such a fast and
furious contest been witnessed in the
squared circle as that in which Stan
ley Ketchell. the middleweight cham
pion. defeated Jack O'Brien, of Phila-
delphia. at the National Athletic club.
1t was a hot bout from start to fin
ish. In the final round OBrien was
knocked down three times, and the
last time was practically a clean
knockout, for the timely clang of the
gong found the Philadelphia in a hope
less state. 1t was Ketchell's fight for
the greater part of the contest, and
O'Brien had no excuse to make over

of little Willie Whitla, was brought
from Pittsburg and lodged in Jail at
Mercer, Pa. His wife was also brought
from Pittsburg, and the couple will

violence on his arrival in Mercer. and
on the journey from Pittsburg asked
Sheriff Chess if he thought the crowd
would harm him. The prisoner looked
greatly relieved when he saw only a
scattering of people at the Mercer sta
ton. Boyle was hurried into a waiting
bus and taken to the Jail, where he
was locked in a cell on the second
tier. An armed guard was placed in
front of BOyle's cell and a patrolman
will be stationed outside the Jail
Sheriff Chess said that the Jail would
be guarded until the trial of the Boyles
was over.
There is no fear of a demonstration
being made here against the lidnar-
per. The Jail officials clothed Boyle in
Overalls and an old shirt after he VIZ
put in cell.
Coming down on the train Boyle
talked freely, but the woman talked
little and refused to give any clue as
to her past. She stated, however, that
she came originally from Brooklyn.
