Wanted to Drain Everglades.

His entertainments abroad were lavish.
He lived at the Hotel Cecil in London.
Even while on the continent he main
tanned his suite there. When he returned
to this country in 1890 it was with a
proposition to drain the Everglades of
Florida and sell the land to fruit
growers.
In the light Of what has been done
since, the project was feasible one, but
he could not interest capital and financed
it himself He lost lot of money and
was about "broke'' in 1895, when he met
and married the Duchess Casteluccia. She
was seventy-six years old. From her he
received $3JO,OOO cash and marble
quarry which he sold for $135,OO0. When
she died three years later he was again
on the rocks financially. and she left him
nothing In 1899 he was legally declared
a pauper.
The marine service was being recruited
for the Philippines about that time. He
enlisted in Harrisburg, Pa, and was sent
to the New York navy yard. He was
there for several days and chummed with
the other enlisted men, where a few years
before he had entertained officers in this
country and abroad. He served his three
years in the Marine Corps, and came back
to this country from the Philippines
bronZed and in great physical condition.
Then he found money to back him for
a f1ier in the Chicago wheat pit and lost
again. He made a couple of flurries and
it looked as if he would make another
fortune Then he went under and through
bankruptcy of $347,S4o.

Arrested for Stabbing.

Less than a year ago he was arrested
in New York for stabbing Alberta Ro-
berto, a Porto Rican, in the apartments
OF Mrs. Frances Carrier, the mother-in-
law Of Daniel G. Reid, the millionaire tin
plate man. The mystery surrounding the
stabbing was never thoroughly cleared
up. The case was dismissed for lack of
prosecution.
Dwyer arrived here Wednesday, and
said he was going to Fulton, Wis, to visit
friends. He spent money freely. He left
his hotel for the railroad station. 4 shot
was heard Wednesday night, but nothing
could be found by those W ho investigated.
Yesterday his body was found There WAS
a bullet hole in the head, and he had been
dead for hours. While there Is an ele-
ment of mystery in his death, 1t Is be-
lieved the soldier of fortune ended his
life. There was 12 cents in his pockets.

BELIEVED HE KILLED SELF

GAINESVILLE. Wis, September 81
The stock speculator found dead here
yesterday in a yard under mysterious
conditions. and thought to be Edward
Leonard Dwyer. proves to be that former
millionaire promoter, who was known in
ternationally. The belief is that he COM
mitted suicide.
Dwyer, who spent several fortunes. has
been poor for several years. His career,
howver, was most spectacular. He was
as well known in the west as in New
York, and for years had a reputation as
lavish entertainer in Europe.
Born in Torrington, Conn.,, he went
west early in life and for time was
lost sight of by his family. He pros
pected over the southwest, and finally
discovered a wonderfully rich mine in
Mexico. This he sold and joined with
other capitalists in the building Of the
Mexican Central railroad.
Tried to Corner Wheat.
In the early eighties he was reported
to be worth millions. He tried to corner
the wheat market in Chicago about this
time, and the corner went to smash
largely because he could hot realize on
; his real estate to get cash to continue
his buying.
Dwyer dropped several million dollars
in the wheat pit and then went to Eu-
rope. There he became known as a
promoter and sold millions in stock be-
| longing to himself and others to English,
German, French and Belgian financiers
| The stocks were mostly Mexican railroad
and mining stocks

FRENCH REAL CELTS,
ASSERTS SOCIETY

Paris.-A French Celtic League has
just come into existence and part of
its program is to prove that all
Frenchmen are Celts and that France
has never been a Latin country.
In its prospectus the new league
declares that France is not a Latin
country and that Frenchmen are of
Gallic and Celtic origin.
1t adds: "Our ancestors, the dark
and blond haired Celts, are our real
forbears, just as the Germans are the
ancestors of the German people"
This pretended Latinity," contin-
ues the prospectus, 'is contrary to
history, ethnology, linguistic science
and even common sense. Though the
Gauls were incorporated in the Fo-
man Empire, they remained rebels
until the end of the regime.
"And 300 years ago the conquest
their patriotism was sufficiently
strong to create and sustain during
thirteen years the Gallo Empire,
which subsequently co-operatei with
the Franks to destroy the Latin
Germanic coalition. Nor is the eX-
preston Gallo Roman found in Latin
writer's; but more than 1000 words in
French are of pure Celtic origin.
France remained Celtic throughout
the middle ages and up to the six
teenth century"
The Celtic idea, it is contended,
ought to be the definite incarnation Of
the French "fatheriand" because it
is the only one perfect enough and
impersonal enough to unite all
Frenchmen without distinction Of
party.

years was found dead near Dunlap,

he took cyanide of potassium about
five days ago. When found, hogs had
broken into the cabin and partly
eaten up the body. Financial worry
is supposed to have caused the act,
but the boy was confined to the in

strange actions, then dismissed with
