Bangor, Me.-The kiss is the most
dangerous thing in the world, and a
national crime, according to DR..

Lindsay, Okla, and he has incorpor.
ated league to fight the habit.
kissing is pleasant pastime," he
says, "but people should refrain from
it for sanitary and hygienic reasons.
If you have noticed it there is a ten
dency among educated people to teach
their children never to kiss anybody
on the mouth, and they readily form
the habit Of kissing others on the
cheeks.
"Kissing Is national crime and
should be made such by law. I real.
lie that under the present conditions
such an act would be ridiculed, but
it is crime just the same. The
most dangerous diseases are trans.
ferred in this way, especially con,
sumption.
II want you to understand I am no
crank upon this subject. I myself
kiss few people now and then, and
like to do 1t. But am careful, and
that is what others should be-"

aled IN 1900. The widow OF his son,
Mrs. Augustus Elsey, and Mrs. Jessie
Tulley, a housekeeper, lived with him
In the Jewett street house. The old
man had other valuable property,
among the realty pieces being a man.
s1oF IN Duncan avenue that he sold
last April to Edward j. Edwards, state
controller. Several times since then
he regretted the sale of this house.
Two weeks ago with his daughter
in-law he went to Cypress Hills Gene
terry, In Brooklyn, where he made ar
rangements for a burial plot for him
self and also he picked out one for
Mrs. Elsey. He admitted to Mrs.
Essey he had made all his plans for
death. However, there seemed to be
no change in his spirits after that
time. He seemed cheerful as he list
ened to several chapters from his
newest religious book, Prevailing
Prayer. After he was found with two
bullets in his head in the bathroom he
never recovered consciousness.
Il don't know why he should have
killed himself" said Mrs. Elsey. "He
and l have lived to ourselves for
years as fine as princes. He had plen-
ty Of money to last him all his life,
but he worried about money he had
lost and about the sale of the Duncan
avenue house. Then he has not been

ness"

room, where ne Killed himself.


Elsey several years ago was one OF
the wealthiest fish merchants in Wash
ington Market, Manhattan. He sold
out his place for $250,O0O and then de-
cided to devote himself to life of
felig1on and ease. Religion was his
main interest in life. One Of his chill.
dren died 20 years ago and he found
ed the Elsey Chapel, in Jewett ave,
nue., as memorial. Before that time
Elsey had carried his religious re,
searches to the point of making fre'
quent changes in his faith. When the
chapel was opened he was among the
Seventh-Day Adventists.
He became convinced not long aft
erward that the Salvation Army work.
ers were the exponents of his favorite
doctrines and he gave the chapel to
the Salvationists when he was con-
verted. Subsequently 1t was occupied
as the Church of the First Born, by
the Faith Cure sect and then went
back to the Salvation Army. Elsey
frequently talked from the pulpit and
delighted to tell the influences that
had worked to convert him to new
faith.
He was married twice. His first
wife divorced him and the second
