Victim Was Of Highly Nervous Tenn
perament and This No Doubt Ae-
counts For His Rash Act.
Some Mystery at First.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 6.--The poll
ice report that Craige I.ippincott,
aged 65, head of Lippincott Co., pub
fishers, of this city died i'm his home
on West Rittenhouse Square today.
from a gunshot wound. Earlier I'm the
day ii was reported servant in the
house had committed suicide. Con-
siderable mystery surrounds the case
as no positive information Is to be
had at this time how Lippincott was
shot.
Mr.. Lippincott's body was found ly-
ing half dressed on the floor of his
bedroom by his valet. There was a bull
let wound i'm the right temple, and
near him lay a revolver.
According TO the police death was
due to a pistol wound. How he re-
ceived his injury, whether by accident
or design, is not publicly known. His
son, Jay B. Lippincott. made a sworn
statement to the deputy coroner that
il was his opinion his father died as
the result of an accident.
Mr.. Lippincott was of highly
nervous temperament, and always had
a fear of finding burglars in his house.
From this fact his friends deduce that
he might have been alarmed by noise
and accidentally killed himself while
in a state of nervous excitement.
Two detectives detailed on the case
reported that from their investigation
they believed that without doubt Lip
pincott had committed suicide, but
they did not know why he took his
life.

Bibles and Mexican Troubles.

Reports to the American Bible Society
from its colporters in Mexico indicate
the insurrectos TO be in almost all parts
of that republic. some of them very near
to Mexico City, the national capital.
One party of colporters. having in charge
pack mule. horses. and stock of books,
was stopped by insurrectos and told to
Join them in the fight for Madero's cause.
Upon replying that the colporters are
working for men of both armies, putting
Bibles into their hands, the insurrrectos
made off with the pack mule. An hour
later more insurrectos stopped them, and
not liking their horses, helped themselves
to a fine saddle. So the society has
helped the Madero cause to the extent OF
a pack mule and a new saddle. Another
company, searching and finding nothing
Objectionable, bought eighteen pesos
worth of Bibles. Last year the society
issued tho four Gospels in one convent
ent book and the Proverbs in another.
and because II was the centennial Of
Mexican independence the society bound
the books in red, white. and green. the
national colors. Now these books, with
their bindings. are in demand, and the
society's colporters are serving with
them enlisted men in both the Madero
and DiaZ camps.
