MILLIONAIRES END LIFE.
Rich Swiss Couple, in Sheer Weari.
ness of Life, Commit Suicide.

Zurich, Switzerland, June 12.-Eu-
gene Maggi and his wife, believed to
be the wealthiest persons in Switzer-
land, committed suicide today, their
act being actuated by sheer lack of
interest in life.
Eugene Maggi was only Al years
old and his wife 35.
The joint estates of the man and
his wife were estimated some time
ago at s1O,O0O,0O0, while quite re-
Gently Maggi inherited the income

The couple had been married for a
number of years, but childless
union brought disappointment to
both. Last night they retired to their
bedroom in their villa here, turned
on the gas and were found dead in
the morning.

Clothes Stripped by Lightning.

Lightning played a curious prank.
Pierre Desse, Creole farmer, living
on the place of Sidney ArceneauX, s
miles north of Rayne, was returning
from driving a wagon loaded with
cotton seed when he was struck by a
bolt of lightning.
The lightning tore his hat, cloth
ing, and shoes to shreds, melting the
eyelets out of his shoes and tearing
the soles off. His trousers were torn
as though slashed with knife again
and again. His two horses were both
instantly killed. Yet, beyond severe
burns and the shock, he was not Sc

Great Animal Swimmers.

The rhinoceros and hippopotamus
are wonderful swimmers and divers,
while the Indian elephant crosses
great rivers with heavy loads. The
elk and the reindeer are first-class
swimmers. The elk keeps his head
above water and crosses directly from
bank to bank to avoid turning. The
reindeer. on the other hand, turns as
often as he likes, keeping his head
only a little above the surface, Har=
per's says.
But of all swimmers of all times
the best, though not the swiftest, is
the polar bear, who passes half his
time in the water swimming and div
ing. His swimming power is nothing
short of miraculous if it be remem-
bered that the water in the regions
he frequents is invariably cold and
that cold is normally prohibitive to
good swimming. There are bears
that can swim from forty to fifty
kilometers without great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand squir-
rel born in captivity, which had never,
seen water, wanted to see if it could
swim, and took it with him in row.
boat to the centre of lake. The
squirrel turned toward the bank,
head and paws above the water, and
tail underneath it, and began to swim
so rapidly that the man recovered it
when it neared the shallow water
near the land. 1t is said that even
many non-aquatic birds will swim
like ducks if an attempt be made to
drown them,

SPENCER IDENTIFIED
Coils Tightening About Him for the
Murder of Mrs. Rexroat.

CHICAGO-Henry Spencer, who is
held as the confessed slayer of Mrs.
Mildred Acknowledgement, was positive
ly identified by Carl White, loan brok-
er at 169 West Washington street, as
the companion of himself and Mrs.
Rexroat on the night preceding the
murder, when they visited a south
side cafe and had several drinks.
Spencer's drawing voice, the voice
supposed to have lured Mrs. 5Rexroat
to her death, was identified by Mrs.
Sadie Johnston, with whom Mrs. Rex
heard over the telephone the night of
the murder
Mrs. Johnston identified the blood
spattered suitcase found in Spencer's
room as the property of Mrs. Rex
roat
But for these identifications, Spen-
GERS confession would not be worth
much because reports coming in from
places where he alleges he murdered
people deny that such crimes took
place, and in other instances it would
have been impossible for him to have
committed them.
In fact Spencer as an entertaining
liar rather than the cold blooded MUIR
derer of a score of men, women and
children, was held up by police of

If anger arise in thy breast, instant

vent, it will suppress itself. Il is good
in fever to have a tender and smooth

breath to fan them together they are
