S125.000 LOSS KNOWN;
HE SHOOTS HIMSELF
Colonel Cornwel, Under Arrest, Kills
Himself Aboard Train Return
ING to Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Crushed and
Mortified by the tragic suicide OF his
son, Colonel Gibbons Gray Cornwell,
who shot off the top of his head while
a passenger on Pennsylvania train
drawing into the West Philadelphia
station to escape facing a charge OF
embe zZling trust funds, Captain X I.
Cornwell his aged father, is in criti-
cal condition following collapse and
may die of shock. Accountants, going
over the books of the estates the sui
eide managed, believe there will be a
shortage of at least Sl25,000. 1t may
total 100000.
When news of the suicide was brok-
en- to the father, a Civil War veteran
and one of the best known and best
liked citizens of Philadelphia, he had
just completed. arrangements for hav-
/ ing his son released On bail as soon as
he arrived from New York, where he
had been arrested. Mr. Cornwell,
whose nerves had been shaken by the
confession of his son to him some
days before, that he was short in his
accounts, toppled over when he heard
the report. He is under the care OF a
| physician. He is. the senior member OF
the law firm of which his son was a
/ partner and is more than eighty years
/ old.
Before Colonel Cornwell, who was
| attached to the Sixth Regiment of the
! National Guard of Pennsylvania, shot
| himself, he scribbled a brief farewell
note to his wife and inclosed 5000 in
an envelope with it. He handed it to
William Mullen, the constable accom-
! panying him from New York. A few
seconds later he suddenly thrust a
pearl handle revolver given to him by
officers of his regiment into his mouth
! the shot carrying away the roof of his
! head. Death was instantaneous.
That Colonel Cornwell had been
short in his accounts was alleged q
week ago, after an examination of the
estate of Mrs. Alice Parschall Rarling
ton Derrick. An investigation made OF
other accounts under his care also, il
is stated, showed shortages. Colone
| Cornwell, after going away to camp
with his regiment, mysteriously disap
peared from it last "Wednesday anC
was arrested in Manhattan. At Broad
way and Twenty-second street Genera
George Il, Dyer, one time head of the
Twelfth Regiment, accused him as q
man who had sold him bonds he die
not own and caused his arrest. He
agreed to go to Philadelphia without
the formality of eXtradition.

The Eyes of Love

((VY re say Love is blind, and the
wv figure of Cupid is drawn
with a bandage around his

This little characteristic. of cupid

If girls would seek perfection in their
friends; if they would look for virtues
instead of faults; if they would believe
in the best in every one, instead of ex-
pecting the worst!
If it became universal habit to say
of a friend:
He is too honorable TO do that" in
stead of saying, HE is none too good,
what a difference it would make in the
person of whom it is said!

Love Is a story of yesterday
Every one has friend. The little
habit of looking for perfection in that
friend is of greater mutual benefit than
anything in the universe.
The friend becomes an ideal and tries
to live up to it. The one who thinks
the best Of that friend gets into the
habit of thinking well Of others, and
grows IN moral strength accordingly.
This little habit Cupid teaches of
seeking perfection is the foundation of
perfect love. It is the superstructure
of perfect happiness.

ton creep in and one begins to look for
faults that faults become apparent, and
happiness ceases.
