tary Academy browns Him
self in Greek.

CHESTER, Pa. July 1S-The body OF
Colonel silas Z. Comfort, vice president OF
the Pennsylvania Military college and
prominent in city affairs, were found today
In Leiperville creek in the rear of the Col
onial hotel. Leiperville, near here.
Tho body was submerged head down In
tho shallow water of the creek. Colonel
Comforts hat was found on the bank, lead
ing to the belief that 1t had been knocked
OFF In a struggle. There was a bruise on
the head and the watch chain was broken,
Colonel Comfort was about so years old and
had resided In Chester for many years.
only last week he was appointed consulting
engineer by the city council.
The police, after investigating the matter,
are OF the belief that Colonel Comfort COM
mitted suicide, because Of criticism that had
been directed at him following his appoint
ment as a consulting engineer of the city
Of Chester. 1t was claimed that he did not
have enough practical experience. It'll also
known that he had suffered from the heat.
He was last seen alive yesterday morning
at o'clock, when he left the military
academy, and It is believed he wandered
around until last night before jumping into
the creek. The suicide theory Is strength
ened by the finding OF Colonel Comforts
gold watch near the body. Other valuables
In the clothing were not disturbed.

meeting. Since that time additional in
terest has been aroused among the publish
ers of the state who. were not present at
the first meeting, and they have sent in
their applications to become members of the
new association The club has been the
means Of causing the publishers who do
job printing to more thoroughly investigate
the cost of doing the work, and in letters
received from them they are ready to ad-
NIT the fact that they have been figuring
on the wrong basis. 1t is not the intention
Of the state association to increase the
price of printing, but to more thoroughly
acquaint the publisher with the cost Of do
ing the printing, it having been the GUS
tom to overlook many things in his office
work which should be- figured in as ex-
pense, and which has caused him to. do
business at a loss. ,,,rec,,,
