tail accused of share in the con-
spracy and was sentenced to death.
But he was soon set free and given
a court position.
When Elizabeth came to the throne
in 1858, her tickle fancy was caught
by young Dudley. He was strikingly
handsome-and she loved handsome
men. He was a clever flatterer-and
she adored flattery. She gave Lei
cester one high office after another,
heaping rank and honors upon him to
the scandal of all Europe.
There can be no doubt the queen
was deeply in love with him. 1t was
rumored that this capricious sover-
eign, who had stubbornly refused to
marry any European prince or king,
meant to bestow her hand on Dudley.
But there was a hitch in this plan.
He was already married. When he
was a mere youth he welded Amy
Robsart, daughter of rich old knight.
For years Any had been kept away
from court in an obscure Berkshire
country house, Gunner hall. There
Dudley, once in a great while, visited
hr. But for the most part she lived
a wretchedly lonely life. Now that
he was an aspirant for Elzabeth's
| hand, it became necessary for the
nCglectful husband to get rid of his
! Vile. Accordingly, Amy was found
one day lying dead in Gunner hall,
her neck broken.
1t was soon after this tragedy that
the queen raised Dudley TO the rank
of Earl of Leicester" She also sug-
| gested MN as a suitable husband Tor
| the unfortunate Mary Queen OF Scots.
| (This was thought to be a blind to
hide her own love for him. Leicester
afterward proposed that Mary, who
was then a prisoner of Elizabeth's, be
put out of the way by poison.) Eliza
beth gave Leicester the magnificent
castle of Kenilworth and other rich es-
tates in Warwickshire. At this castle,
in 1875, he entertained the queen for
some days with series of gaudy spec
tacles and revels that cost him $780,
900, which sum his various court Of
ficers doubtless permitted him to gain
back from the people.
At this time his coming marriage to
the queen was q matter OF common
talk. Just what wrecked the plan no
one knows. In any case, something
occurred to destroy Leicester's hopes
and to turn him, in a moment, from q
possible prince consort to q mere
might have been"
He revenged himself by marrying
the countess Of Essex, whose husband
he was suspected Of poisoning. Eliza
beth could never bear to have her
courtiers look at any other woman ex-
cept herself. She few into a mad rage
at news Of Leicester's marriage and
swore he should die In the Tower Of
London. But she soon forgavs him
and even afforded him new chances
for ofhcial incompetency.
In 1888, in his f1fty.seventh year,
Leicester died. It was at the time,
rumored that he met death by drink
ing a cup of poison he had prepared
for his wife. This may have been q
bit Of malicious court gossip; or, II
true, 1t may have implied that he still
believed he could win Elizabeth's
hand.

GIRL DELIBERATE
IN ENDING LIFE
Dipped Ends of Matches in
Water and Dram, the
fsolutioo.

Winnipeg, Aug 21.-After suffering
great pain since being found at about
10 o'clock Sunday evening, Mary Sill
yer died at the general hospital at
4:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, from
the eeffcts of poison which she had
administered to herself. After her ad-
mittance to the hospital 1t was be-
lfeved that owing to her violent vomit-
ing and the operation Of the stomach
pump, the effects of the poison had
been counteracted. She appeared to
be rallying but at about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon she commenced
sinking rapidly and in an hours time
the end had come.
just before death came. Miss Silver
admitted taking poison. explaining
that she dipped the end of matches
into water and then drank the strong
PHOSPHORUS solution obtained.
No Reason Known.
Why such step was taken by the
young woman. who was in no known
difficulties. has not yet been made
clear. She went to her room at about
6 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, ac-
cording to the story given out by H
Colensky. her landlord, and at about
10 o'clock inquiries were made for
her. The inmates Of the house went
to the roo indoor but calls and knocks
ELECTED no response. 1t was decided
to break in the door. Miss Silver was
found lying on the bed suffering great
ly. DIR. Bercovitch was called but the
girl would not allow him to treat her.
She resolutely declined to take an
emetic or submit to treatment with
a stomach pump. She declared that
she would feel much better IL they
all would go away and leave her
alone. She had, she said a right To
do what she had done. and therefore,
nobody need interfere. DR.. Ber-
covitch Immediately telephoned the
Central police station. and the officers
came. deciding to remove the girl, by
force II need be. to the hospital
The young woman was connected
with large an drespected family in
Manitoba in Hebrew circles. Her
father and mother are believed to be
residing in the country near Winni-
peg. but at the present time their ex-
act address is not forthcoming. There
are other relatives, including a broth
er and a married sister, living in the
city.
1t is understood that at the time
the girl took the fatal drink her
younger brother was being married in
another part of the city.
Acting Coroner DIR. Rogers was no.
titled Immediately on the death of
Miss Silver. He examined the body
and decided that post mortem exam
inatton would be necessary. It Is be-
lieved that an inquest will be unnec-
