FATAL DOSE OF ACID Maurice Steinberg Commits Suicide Because He Could Not Get Work BROODS OVER TROUBLE r)is:iKreenient "With Family fn Gcp- iimny nnd Inability to Tulfc Kimlisli Helped to Decide Him. to Knd Life. Despondency, caused by inability to get employment, caused Maurice Steinberg, a German about forty-five years of age, to commit suicide by taking carbolic acid jn his room at the Rouleau hotel, some time after 5 o'clock Saturday evening. He was last seen alive about that time, and it is thoue-ht that he took his life shortly afterward. So far as is known, the dead man had no relatives In this country, with the ex ception of an unknown friend in Milwau kee, whi> n;ay be related to him. He left two letters, one addressed to Smith Tabel, a boarder at the hotel, and* the other to his wife In Germany, with their children. ■ "- Could Not Kind Work. According to J. T. Ross, owner of the hotel, Steinberg came to S. Paul from Milwaukee. Wis., April 3 last, and had been staying: at the hotel since that time. He was a cigarmaker by trade, and al though he trit-d hard to get work he was unable to do so. He could talk but little Knirlish, having been in the United St ites only about three months. His ■ first two wesks' board was paid by a man who befriended' him. He had acted qucerly during the past few days, but it was not anticipated that he had designs on his life. .He owed Ross several weeks' board, and this seemed to worry him. A week ago the dead man went to Ross and told him he was going to get som-j money from Germany, and that when he received it he would give him some of it. He expected it on Thursday, and Ross told him that was all rig-ht. Thursday Steinberg again, came to Ross and informed him that he would not be able to get the money un til Saturday. I'romised to Have Money. tin Mr. Ross told him it would b°. nil right, and nothing further was said until Saturday morning, when Steinberg came to Ross for the third time and said ho would have the money by 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, ard went out. Promptly at 4:Su he returned to the hotel, but this time he appeared greatly exclteS. and going to the desk where Rosa was sitting- he picked up a book, ami g.->ing over to a corner of the office began reading-. He had read probably :d».ut live minutes when Mr. Ross was I to another part of the house. Mr. Koss returned in a few minutes and : Stelnl erg writing. He wrote two and sealed them, after which he addressed the envelopes. Having finish ed this ho went straight to *us room, and not appearing for supper Ross went up to see if he was still in his room. He found the key on the inside of the door an,] the door locked. Mr. Ross thought he would not bother him as he might be asleep, and came down stairs. Broke Into His Room. Steinberg did not: appear for breakfast yesterday morning, 1 either, and this aroused the suspicions of Mr. Ross, and he went up to the room and rapped on the door several times. Not receiving any answer he pushed the key out of the door with nis knife and opened the door He found Steinberg: lying: crosswise on tn-3 bed, dead. One of his legs was doubled i. T . On the little table beside the be-! mv-s an empty four-ounce bottle containing a few crops of carbolic acid and ne.si.le the bottle was a common wat«r glass in which there still remained some of the poison. The dead man had taK«n O ff his coat and shoes before com mitting the deed, and had left the two letters on the table. Deputy Coroner Whitcomb was notified and after viewing the remains they were tai;en to the undertaking room of J A Wniwersoheld; where the body will be "pt for a few df-ys, until the coronet can tel^raph to Milwaukee and soe if flic can locate the supposed relative of the dead man. Both letters were writ -1?^ inG Krm^ n ' and wore taken possea fr on of by the coroner, and the one to to;c"r f ma nv.Steinbe^ WiU be f™^S Letter to Smith Fabel. Th« contents of the letter written to Simth Fabol are as follows: Mr. Smith Pabel: The only way for f. to do iS to take my own life for I have no money or no place to ero T am getting $12 from Germany on the 10th, and you give it to Mr. Ross for my loam, and the balance that I owe m?e the Cr"t ta f e ih °U\ °f my bagsage and _ . , —Maurice Steinberg:.

The letter addressed to his wife indicat ed that he had left Germany about three months ago. after having had some trou ble with the family. Both letters were badly written, and showed plainly that lie must have-been exceedingly nervous when he wrote them. In the letter to his wife he said that he oould get no work, could not talk the English language plainly enough, and had no money, and rather than be thrown out on the street without a home he UioughJ it 'better to take his own life He hoped she would forgive him for What he had done, and hoped she would Rivo a good education to the children and would always remember him. Stein berg ended by saying: "If you peopl had done right by me I would never have committed this deed." Fellow boarders at the house say that he said several time 3 he would like, to % : -.«'-; - ...

Clark, several hundred children, most of whom, •were girls, assembled at the Auditorium yc-s<erday afternoon at 4:30 to participate in a song service "and to receive flower seeds for cultivation. Owing to a change from the hour originally fixed upon, many of the children arrived two ■ hours before the meeting, but they were entertained until the appointed time and' most of them remained. -.»a services consisted for the greater part of singing by the children them selves, and they were taught the words "of several hymns. Mrs. Clark delivered a short address to the little ones, and Miss Belle Hope recited. In the mu sical portion of the programme Prof.. "Weeks assisted with cornet accompani ment. Among the children present yes terday were nearly 100 who had not at tended any of the previous meetings, and they were each given a package of flower seeds.

About fifty Indian boys and girls will receive Their SHeep skins—but not the kind their fathers sleep under. O. H. Gates, superintend ent of the school, says that while they do not call the affair graduation, there would be closing exercises. These are important events in the »iv€s of tne reservation Indians. The programme will consist of speaking, reading and music—mostly music. At these events the old bucks and the squaws who do not live too far away come into the sscool, where they gaze with open eyes and mouths at the entertainment offered. Mr. Gates said that music is the In dian's strong talent. "We had a band up there some time ago," said he, "and it would surprise you to see those fel lows learn. There was a number who couldn't read their own names, but who could blow a horn for further orders. They like singing, too, and for the most part the men have good voices. There are about 150 boys and girls now attending the school and they range in years from five to twenty-one. The aver age age is thirteen years. The govern ment tak-es them to the school for a two years' course." MANAGER OF WINNIPEG FAIR IN TWIN CITIES Secures Attendance of Minnesota Bunkers at Manitoba's Ex position. Fred W.

HAS STOOD THE TEST Stability -of Christian Faith the Topic of Baccalaureate Sermon at Macalester WORLD IS ADVANCING Dr. Wallace Points Out That Tenets of Christianity Are Still Highest . Standard of Morality— Alumiii Sermon, "The stability of the Christian faith has been established," announced Dr. Jan.es Wallace, in his baccalaureate ser mon to the graduating clas3 at Macales te r college, at Macalester Presbyterian church, yesterday afternoon, "and its present basis is more permanent and on a much better foundation in the eyes the world than it has ever been before. -It has been 1,900 years since the era of the Christian dispensation, and these 1,900 years have not been spent for noth ing as regards the advancement of the Christian work, and the furthering of the Christian cause. During this time the claims of Christ have been completely vindicated, and he stands ever better with the world as the true and only Sa vior. 'There are many sects, but where is there cne that does not grant recognition to the Savior of mankind? Where is there a denomination that is not based funda mentally en the teachings of the Savior, with the only hope of salvation based on His saving grace. "All must admit this, no matter what may be the creed or doctrine. The Greek church, and the Church of Rome, a3 well as all Protestant organizations, of all de nominations, grasp the conception of tha gospel as laid down by the Savior of Men. "And this is the way we can gauge the advancement of the Christian doslrines and judge of their present strength and durability as compared with the condi tions of hundreds of years ago. And the result is that we find that they are firmer and better than they were years ago, end that this marked improvement is bound to continue as time rolls by. Comiuandmenti Still Good. "We also find that the ten command ments of old, as Riven, exposition today, are fully adequate to the use cf the world at its present stage, and in time to come they will also be found to mest the full requirements of the Christian re ligion. They embody all the essentials of the highest morality of a human race, and will bear the closest scrutiny of many future generations. "It will be found in any community that where a low estimate is placed on sin, in its various forms, in that com munity the standard of morality will be very low indeed. Where the law of the Lord is not regarded, there will the dark est frowns of heaven b« found, and there also will be found an unhappy people, lavishing in darkest sin. "And yet, with all the advancement of modern times, has there ever been any improvement qver the solution of eternal salvation, as offered in the redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ? Has anyone ever thought of a scheme by which the salva tion of- the sinner could have been ac complished at a less oo3t and to better advantage than by the sacrifice of the life of the Son of Man. "The world is moving steadily, but rap idly. Improvement is the order of the age, but, withal, has it ever been said that the religion of Christianity did not keep the pace—was it ever found lagging behind, was it ever inadequate, even to the slightest degree? Such has never been found to be the case, for its meth ods of revolution are perfect in themi selves. She is bound to meet the advance ment of the world." Virtue of Submission. Rev. John Sully, a former graduate of the college, preached the alumni sermon at the church yesterday morning on the subject of humble service to the Chris tian cause. He contended that if the Christian wished to accomplish much for the Master, he must humble himself to the point of submission, and be thorough ly consecrated to the service. Whim and pleasure must be placed behind, while s?lf-ambition .should in turn give way to the advancement of the Christian reli gion. Rev. Stanley Roberts, pastor of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church of Min neapolis, delivered tha annual sermon to the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. of the college last evening at Macale3ter church. He spoke of the vast good ac complished by the auxiliary society, whether it bo of church or college, com paring them to the feeding streams of a large river. Without their aid the river would be nothing, and in itself would soon cease to exist. SQUIRE MEETS HIS MATCH. Tells Lady She Looks Broken Dowu and She Retaliates. Men, as a rule, are more indifferent and communicative concerning the in roads of age than women are, but tV most amiable woman can generally find a pertinent remark to make when ap proached impertinently on this sacred theme. "Old Squire Jones doesn't speak to me now," said a gentle-faced, sil ver-haired lady, "and I don't blame him; he has excellent reasons for not want ing any conversation with me. Several months ago I was sitting in our carri age, near the city library, waiting for Helen, when I saw the old squire drive up near me. He always has something unpleasant to say about how old we are getting, and what wrecks we all are, so I pretended not to see him. He came nearer, however, and accosted me. " 'Isn't that you, Mrs. Brown? How d'ye do, Mrs. Brown?' "I turned around and greeted him: 'How do you o, Squire Jones?' " 'My goodness, Mrs. Brown,' the bluff old fellow went on, 'ho wyou have broke. I would never have known ye.' " 'Why, Squire Jones,' said I, 'I was just going to say the same thing to you.

HAPPIXESS. (A Butterfly.) Full many a maiden, in a mist of white, With hand that trembled toward the wedding ring, Thought on her threshold rose to see you light, Forever flying thing! Full many a youth, with passionate heart astir, Dreaming the old divine sad dream once more His father dreamed, joins the bright chase with her, And sees you flash before. On, on forever, over bloom and dew. With hands thorn torn, reached toward the eye's desire. Their children's children's children follow you, Still nigh and never nigher ♦ • • Tet, on some lily in God's vlarden lit. You rest, p-erhaps. And shall we touch you there? Not so.

Several days ag-o The Globe pub lished a story to the effect that Frank E. Searle, of Duluth, would be a candidate for the Republican congressional nomina tion in the Eighth district. Mr. Searle Immediately denied the story. He now virtually admits it, however, and puts the matter in such a way that his entrance into the fight is almost a foregone con clusion. , - Mr. Searle says: , "Up to the present time I have given the question no thought whatever, and when my name was first broached for tha position I informed my friends that it was idle in them to urge me further. Since that time, however, I have been waited, upon by delegation after delega tion of representative men of the party, urging me to reconsider the stand I had taken. ; "I must confess that I am in consider able of a quandary. If,the Republicans of this district believe that I would make an acceptable candidate for congress and want me to make the' race, I would not be performing my duty as a citizen and as a member of the party should I ignore the reQuestfl that have been made. How ever, as the situation stands today, I can not see my way clear to announce myself one way or the other." ' "*.■ .'■ ■".■_.; Searle Has Friends. - The St. Louis county Republicans whD oppqse Adam Bede have been so frantic in their efforts to 3ecure a candidate that Mr. Searle's announcement certainly means that they will swoop down on him co irresistibly that he will be forced into the fight. Mr. Searle's sentiments, as stated . above,l are- about tho same that he expressed in St. Paul ten days ago ani on which. The Globe announced th fact that he would probably try for the I prize. ;% Some ' Republicans have fceen in hopes * that ; ~ fofSner Senator . Wiliram E. Culkin would offer himself, as they think he would be a "strong candidate before I the people, but Culkin is ambitious to go I i to congress and does not want to risk the chances of defeat, and he thinks Mr. Bede has too big a start to be overcome. . Mr. Bede said yesterday that the en trance of a candidate in the field at this time only means a more exciting cam : paign and would give an impetus to his ; campaign which would be of benefit to him. He expressed the utmost confidence of success, as usual. Jesse Li. Jellison, of Cohasset, does not intend to let the people forget that he is an active candidate for the place. Mr. Jellison has been speaking for the past week at town throughout the district and has -arranged to address the voters cf Duluth Monday night. "The thing to do." he says, "is to com pel society to come to you by the record you make in the national halls of con gress. I shall waste no time running af ter society. Society will be glad to run after me. I shall devote all my time in performing my duties to my constituents. Of course, if society appreciates the posi tion that my success will entitle ma to, as it no doubt will, then I shall have to give it a' little attention as a matter of formal duty. But my obligations to my constituents will always be my chief watchword." BLIND MAN KNOWS PATRONS. Recognizes Customers by Way They deposit Coin. The blind man who makes his living by begging at a certain "Li" station up town said the other day: "I have a number of regular customers and I know them by the way they put the coin in my hand. One young lady has a dime for me every time she happens in this neighborhood." "Are you sure she never passes around here without stopping to give you some thing?" the beggar was asked. "I am," he replied. "I can tell by the way she offers me her coin that she has not been in this neighborhood since the last time I received 10 cents from her hand. She never says anything, yet 1 know that she is young and nervous, ana whether she is in a good htfmor or 'not. There is something in the touch of her finger tips that speaks as clearly'as word 3 to me. I may be mistaken, of course, but I don't think I am." The blin dman's friend was curious to verify the beggar's impressions. The girl who gave him dimes never turned up again, but then there were other wom en of whom ' the beggar had interesting things. to say and in several instances fie; was corroborated by the almsgivera themselves. For example, ho had said of one woman that she was a foreigner (although he had never heard her spea«) and so sho proved to be.—Commercial Advertiser. TALKS TO WEONG MAN.

Xoted Divine Gives Recipe for Whitening- Headgear. ■ The number cC Panama, or a Panama hats to be seen everywhei season reminded an old gentleman from Boston of a story the other d he proceeded to tell to another' m the Fifth Avenue hotel, holding nig gtnuine Panama in his han.i. "I suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here," he said. "Bui a generation or two ago he .-is a well knewn figure In Boston, being oi our fs?mous Unitarian ministers, a friend of many of the Transcendentalism. He used always to wear a. white Panama hat, whi^h at that time was much of a luxury than 1 judge it is today. The same hat did him season after son, yet it never neemed to I of its fresh whiteness. m "On<-. day a minister of the old per sutaaion, and very pronounfced ii orthodoxy, asked Dr. Ellis how he kept his hat so white. " 'That la easy,' paid the doctor, 'for it has been ralvanized.' " 'Wbaf' Paid the other minister. 'How do you galvanize a hat?' " 'I bald Calvinized,' repll >d the Uni tarian.

The senate naval committee was con sidering private bills, and finally the one was reached which provided for the re tirement of Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson. the hero of the Merrlmac. It is generally believed thai Mr. Hobson wants to get out of the navy so he can mingle in politics, an 1 for that reason there is more <r less objection to his re tirement on three-quarters pay, as he might prove a disturbing element in Ala bama. Mr. Hobson was "present at the committee meeting with an armful of ra pcrts that had been made by navy offi cers regarding his case. "What is the matter with you?" Chair man Hale asked the man who went into Santiago harbor and got kissed by the girls for so doing. "I am suffering from compound hyper melropic astigmatism, retinal hyperaemia and trachoma," replied the naval ofiieer. "Gracious," ejaculated Senator Gallir.? er, "have you got all that the matter with you and still live to tell it to the committee?" Hobson nodded. ■ —"Then. Mr. Chairman." Mr. Giiling.r said, "I move that the bill be reported favorably. I do not know exactly what Mr. Hobson has got, but surely it is enough." The rest of the commits agreed with the New Hampshire statesman, and Hob son left the committee room withoul once referring to his voluminous reports.—Chi cago News. Grow Mines ax Tree*. It is said that the Japanese and Chi nese have cultivated the lilac so as to have produced a real tree, not merely a large shrub trimmed in tree shape.
