there was a ring at the doorbell. One
of the detectives answered. and there

a pick on his shoulder and his head
covered with the sleeve of an old un-

that Mrs. Surratt had sent for him TO

the improbability of his coming ut that

had probably galloped madly out into

as to where he was going. His horse
had gotten away from him, somehow,
and he had then wandered around in
aimless desperation for two days and

usual attention on the Pacific Coast was

Thanksgiving meeting of the Alta Bena

reproduced in circular in response to

ture or the appearance of the c. A. r.
on its parade during the Encampment
at san francisco was particularly fine,
and 1t recalled how the author had seen
those same men flock to the service of

were fired on Sumter. In the course of
the paper he said:
The years unfold in memory like q

panorama of events; i close my ears

this is why the marching of a remnant

No Trace of Son of Wealthy Cuban
Friends Fear Suicide.

After visiting the Morgue last night, two
young and well dressed women were making IN
quirfes at Bellevue for traces of Miguel Lapac,
twenty-five years old. the son Of a wealthy
sugar planter in Cuba. They refused TO give
their names.
The women said that for the last eighteen
months Lapac had been living at a boarding
house at No. 237 West 43d street, and that he
was a student at Columbia. Last Sunday he
disappeared and nothing has been heard Of him
since
They said Lapac wore a diamond scarf pin
worth $500 and had S25 in his pocket when he
was last seen on Sunday. During his stay at
the West 43d street house he received many
checks from his father. Lapac served as Il
soldier in the Cuban war. in which he was
severely wounded, and it TO his hurts that
he attributed the respondent moods which he
sometimes had. AS nothing known at
