HANDLES BIG EDITORIAL JOB

Hugh Chisholm gave dinner re-
Gently to the American contributors
to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
There are 1900 contributors to this
stupendous work in England and
America. They have written 10000 ar
ticles. comprising 50.000,00n words.
Editing ALT is an enormous under
taking and even the proof reading il
a stupendous job
The issuing Of the encyclopedia is
the greatest undertaking in modern
literature. Even the binding Of It may
create panic in the market for fine
leather. The binding Of 1000 copies
requires $4,000 skins. What makes
the task Of producing the work more
serious is the fact that 1t is brought
out In % volumes simultaneously.
whereas the last previous edition was
published one volume at time and
took IA years to complete.
Mr.. Chisholm has 81 editors work

ing the issuing of this edition is the

WILLIAM HOsACK COMMITS
SUICIDE WITH A REVOLVER

While suffering with an acute at
tack of melancholia induced by re-
cent illness, William T. Hosack fred
a bullet into his brain about 3
last Friday morning. When found
half an hour afterward by his young
wife life was extinct. The Mortified
woman summoned medical aid at
once, but when two physicians and
Coroner Macy reached the scene
there was nothing to be done but
remove the body.
The tragedy was enacted In a
chicken house in the rear OF the
home at POLL Tenth avenue. Hosack
arose early and when he did not re-
turn to the house his wife began a
search Tor him. At $3.50 O'Clock she
went into the yard and saw the form
of her husband stretched out in the
chicken house, face downward. She
at first thought that he had been
seized with sudden illness. Further
investigation showed a stream OF
blood flowing from the mouth.
Running screaming into the house
she summoned aid. An examination
by the physicians showed that life
was extinct, although the body was
still warm. A revolver with two
chambers empty lay near the body,
apparently having fallen from the
hand Of the dying man, who had
clutched at his throat in his last
moments.
That the report Of the revolver
was not heard is accounted for by
the fact that Hosack placed the bar
rel in his mouth as he fired the fatal
shot. The roof of the mouth was
powder burned. The bullet went
into the brain and lodged against
the inside of the skull.
Arrangements for the funeral
have not been made. These will be
announced later.
Hosack was we'll known and had
many friends in Greeley. He was
the son of e. w. Hosack. contractor,
for many years. He was q carpenter
and much OF the time worked with
his father. He ID highly spoken of
by all who knew him a. . young
man of fine habits. Last June he
went east and was married, bringing
his bride to Greeley. The relatives
are heart broken over the tragic
affair and can only account for the
act In the belief that Hosack was
temporarily insane at the time. He
had been III for several days. feeling
worse yesterday. He was at times
subject to periods of depression and
it is believed that this led to his
suicide. There was nothing in his
family relations to cause unhappi-
ness or dependency and the family
attributes his illness as the direct
cause of his death.
