most prominent citizens and greatest
builders, is dead. Following a lin
gering illness and after a hard fight
in which his splendid courage and
fortitude were shown to the last, he
expired at ST. Anthony's hospital at
II minutes until the noon hour today.
For 36 hours he had been dying
and the end was expected at any mo-
ment but his wonderful vitality kept
him alive long after hope had been
abandoned. Though he had rallied
from the effects of the operation and
was much relieved by it. his system
had been so poisoned that at no time
was there any promise of recovery.

much worse which led to many false
reports of his death being circulated
on the streets
He surprised even his physicians by
surviving the night and this morning
up until an hour of his death his
pulse continued strong Almost to the
last he retained his consciousness

Future With Fianess, but Now

During nve years Alexander
Schwartz shaved and saved in Chi
cago barber shop. Several evenings
each week he put on his best clothes
and tried his best conversation. He
was making plans for his future.
On those occasions a young woman
shared In the plans, helping him to
make them.
Schwartz shaved thousands of faces
and cut the hair on thousands Of
heads during those Eve years. He ex-
pected that after he had been married
a few years he would own q shop and
sit beside a cash register that tinkled
pleasantly. His nancee agreed that to
q bright man like him such q lucra-
tive future was more than probable.
Meanwhile Schwartz went on SHAY
ing and saving. Recently, however,
he had to take some time of. He ap-
peared in court before John e. Owens,
county judge. There he learned that
in the years of shaving and saving
and dreaming he had overlooked pro-
vision for his mothers future.
"You must pay So a week for her
support" said the Judge.
Schwartz declared that II he did SO,
saving would be impossible.
Earn more money, then" said the
Judge.

Schwartx, "and II use $3 of that for
