The circumstances in connection
with the suicide of A. G. Plant, a
prominent broker, at the Continental
Hotel in Washington, early last night
are pathetic. Bankruptcy was inevl-

the world as a penniless man.
Mr.. Plant had been reading the
twenty-second psalm previous to COM

following passages occur. very appro

by trouble brought on by ourselves OF
by others:

forsaken me? Why art thou so far
