MAN IS
FOUND DYING FROM
DOSE CARBOL|C ACID
STRANGER. A PRINTER By oC-
CUPATION, WROTE NOTE TO
BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND sWAL-
LOWED DEADLY COMPOUND.

Groans heard in the room occupied
by Frank j. Merath, stranger, at
tracted the attention of Mrs. Bertha
Sorensen, who keeps rooming house
at 108 1-2 East Government street,
yesterday morning, and she teIe-
phoned for doctor. The city physi-
clan, upon reaching the scene some
time afterward, found Merath in his
death struggles, from his own act,
it was believed, for a freshly-emptied
vial was discovered on the roof be-
low. This had contained two ounces
of carbolic acid, and that compound
was what caused the death of the
stranger.
Officer Burke was also summoned
to the room when it was thought the
stranger had thus deliberately
planned his own destruction. The body
was turned over to Undertaken Frank
Pou. The remains were embalmed
at the undertaking parlors named
and last night Secretary James
Largue, of the Pensacola Typographi-
cal Union, telegraphed Chris. Kaiser
brother-in-law, at Memphis, Tenn.
acquainting him and the only sister
Lottie, of the occurrence. Orders foi
the disposition of the remains are ex-
pected early today.
Merath was a member of the Typo
graphical Union, and arrived here or
Sunday, September II. He was here
some two or three years ago and was
acquainted with local printers. He
was deaf and dumb. He had worked
several days after reaching here, anC
had earned possibly SIS. A remit,
lance Of SO was received by hin
only couple of days ago. Therefore
he was reasonably well supplied with
money, but other matters seemed t,
prey heavily upon his mind and HI
frequently wrote notes bearing upo1
the subject of suicide, one of these
messages having been written to hi
landlady Sunday asking her if it wa
sin for anyone to take their owl
life. To several of the printers o
his acquaintance he wrote notes, say
ing that he was tired of living, o
messages to that effect, showing tina

this subject occupied a great deal of
his thoughts.
In a note to his brother-in-law,
whom he addressed as "Chris," he
asked that his remains be cremated,
and such information was contained
in the telegram which was wired by
the local unions secretary, in notify
ing the relatives Of his death.
Merath was a competent job print
er, and his work spoke for itself.
When here before he worked in prac-
tically all the job Offices and in some
of the newspaper Offices, and his work
was satisfactory. Upon reaching here
two weeks ago he Immediately hunted
up men Of the craft and reformed his
earlier acquaintance.
The coroner twas notified OF the
death Of Merath yesterday, and that
official was not aware Of the fact un-
til he read it in the afternoon paper
after 4 o'clock. He then said thai
he was going to investigate the affair
and thought he had not been treated
with proper courtesy in the matter
The mans death, however, occurreS
after the arrival of the physician
and that was thought to have amply
protected the coroner.

The Immensely
Of Space.

When one contemplates the won
ders of nature in any manner there
is great reason for establishment and
increasing interest, but this is doubly
true with regard to the study Of the
heavens and the immensity of space
which intervenes between the planet
ON which we live and the twinkling
stars which peep down upon US from
the evening sky.
The yastness Of the heavens de-
clares the infnity Of their Creator;
not that the heavens themselves are
infinite, for they have their limit in
space as well as in time; but so enor-
NOUS is their known reach that He
who made them can be thought Of
only in terms of infnity.
The moon is the nearest world to
ours and it is a quarter of million
miles distant. The sun is 100000
miles away. The neareft other sun
or star is 4.3 light years from US,
that is to say that its light requires
that time to leap through the in
tervening gap, whereas the suns
light comes in eight and one-half min
utes. The north stars distance is 70
light years, and to travel to that orb
from the earth at the rate of so miles
an hour would require 766,000,o0C
years; yet it is one of the very near.
est fixed stars.
The nearest stars of the Milky Way
are estimated at 1000 light years, anc
some Of the farther ones at twice thai
distance, while the distance of some
Of the nebulae is set at million
i light-years.
When one looks up at the starry
sky on a cloudless evening and con
templates for few moments the
almost infinite space which interviews
between the earth and the millions o.
twinkling lights which adorn tn,
armament above, the finite mind i
taxed to comprehend the immeasur
able distance which intervenes.

Live Sea Food
Exhibit at Fair.

Pensacola's largest local industry,
the largest Of its kind in the world is
the boast, is the fishing, and particu-
larry, the red snapper fishing indus
try. yet It Is possibly safe to say
that not ten out Of any hundred PEN
sacolians. ever saw q live red snap
per, and certainly never have had the
delight IN seeing the king Of deep-sea
southern gulf fish in his native habi-
tat, swimming gracefully about.
How many have ever had the
pleasure Of seeing a muIlet, blue
fish, pompano, Spanish mackerel, or
the familiar speckled trout, swimming
leisurely, in the water? Possibly a
surprisingly few have ever had the
pleasure Of ever seeing the peculiar
ly-narlred sheephead, or the smaller
food fishes Of the harbor.
Would the opportunity Of seeing
the above alive, swimming leisurely,
be an attraction? It would, and to
hundreds in the city, county, and
from all sections Of the South.
The above suggests the thought Of
what an adnirably-suited adjunct
such a display would be if one OF
more, or all, Of the local companies,
could or would get together, and
place live fish on exhibition as part
Of the Made-In- Escambia exhibit. Or
what an attraction it would be to HAYS
the fishes Of al local species featured
in tanks filed with water, with glass
fronts and sides, and placed on exhi-
bitfOn, for the admiration Of the Local
and visiting people.
Talking with b wholesale dealer re.
Gently, it was learned that, with the
cooperation of beach fishermen, Il
would be practical exhibit, and il
would be one which could be gotter
together with very little trouble at I
minimum Of expense. It would mean
perhaps, the dying Of all fish so ex
hibited in short time, yet the exhi
bition could be arranged for a weel
at the time, thus showing the ports
chiefest and largest industry at /:
glance, to hundreds at the fair.
It would be among the biggest fea
lures perhaps to be able to exhibit
famed fish on the fair grounds, an,
it has been suggested that in add
ton to the live fish, that, in some de
partment, arrangements be made t,
exploit the different delectkble way
in which the Pensacola fish could b

knew his subject wen, to get up an
tell his audience how, for instance
chowder is best made-which mean
the Pensacola way; how fish are hes
prepared, broiled, fried. baked, etc

sample dishes could be prepared b
Pensacolians. It would be the big
