TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
Bh J. ISDEUU SEXDS A BILLET
THROIGH. HIS
BRAI*
DESPONDENCY WAS THE CAUSE
Was Addicted to the Use of Mor
phine, and Apparently Could
Get Ha Relief From
Physicians.
Strive as he would, and with the best
medical attention, which he could sum
mon to his aid, X. J. Isdell, of Pony,
Mont., was unable to overcome the habit
of the use of ft certain drug which had
* become a part of his earthly existence.
Falling In his desire, and with what
seemed to him a living death, he yes
terday morning placed a twenty-two cali
ber revolver in his mouth and serit a
bullet into his brain. Death was instan
taneous.
Mr. and Mrs. Isdell arrived In Minne
apolis last Wednesday and registred at
the Nlcollet house. Their object in com
ing here was to secure medical assistance
and to see if the drug habit, which had
become so fastened upon the unfortunate
man, could not at least be checked.
Mr. isdell did not secure much relief, and
ne grew very despondent, and a fcV days
ago he purchased the revolver with
which he ended his earthly existence.
Yesterday morning, while his wife wa3
down to breakfast, he told her before
she went that he would not eat anything
that morning, and while she was gone
the deed was committed. The shot
aroused the inmates of the hotel, and
they rushed to his room to find that the
bullet had done Its work well. A phy
sician was called, but lie was past all
medical aid 1. The coroner was summon
ed, and he decided that it was suicide.
•Sir. Jsdell was sixty-three years of age
ana at the time of his death was presi
dent of the Isdell Mercantile company,
a*. Pony, Mont. He is understood to be
worth considerable money outside of his
mercantile interests in Montana.
Mrs. Isdell, his wife, is bearing up
bravely under the sad tragedy. The re
mains will be prepared and taken back
to Montana for burial. Mr. Isdell left
a short note to his wife, in which he
stated that he was not strong enough to
continue the unequal fight against the
morphine habit, to which he had become
addicted about fifteen years ago

*core* Jury for Convicting: a Man
on Perjured Testimony.
Judge Pond created quite a surprise
yesterday morning when ihe granted a
Jiew trial to Charles Hamilton, the col
ored man, w<ho had recently been con
' victed of keeping an opium joint.
In giving his reasons for granting a new
trial ho took a rap at the jury which Kadi
convicted Hamilton, and said that he was
of the opinion that the jury convicted
Hamilton! more on account of his general
reputation, instead of the testimony that
•• Was offered to prove this guilt.
The testimony consisted chiefly of one!*
Jones, a self-convicted perjurer, who ad
mitted having testified differently at' the
Investigation in the municipal court to
■What he testiiled to in the district court.
Closing the judge said: "The verdict is a
disgrace to the jury system, and a burn

WILL STUDY TRADE CONDITIONS.
Ex-,Senator Wasliburn Advocates
Free Trade With Cuba.
Ex-United States Senator W. D. Wash
burn left last night for Cuba, where he
intends studying the trade relations be
tween the United States and the island.
Senator Washburn is of the opinion that
the Crated States is not doing its whole
duty in the matter of Cuban reciprocity.
He said, if possible, he would like to
see free trade established between the
United States and Cuba, and he is of the
opinion that it would help every industry
of both places, with the possible excep
tion of fruit and sugar. He is also of
the opinion that this country needs Cu
ban products, and he is sure that the
factories of the United States would be
greatly benefited by closer trade rela
tions with the island.
ASKED FOR CONTINUANCE.
Megraarden Cases Will Go Over Un

All the eleven cases against Phil T.
Megaarden are continued over until the

guests who were old acquaintances.
While this scene was going on the crowd
remained continually cheering, and occa
sionally calling, "Cheers for the prince,"
"Cheers for the president," or "cheers
for Miss Roosevelt." Miss Roosevelt re
peatedly bowed her acknowledgments.
Sends Cablegram to Emperor.
The prince, immediately* after the
launching, sent the' following cablegram
in German:
"To the German Emperor, Berlin:
Yacht just launched under brilliant aus
pices. Christened by Miss Roosevelt's
hand. Beautiful craft. Great enthusi
asm. , i congratulate you with all my
hear'- -"Heinrich."
Soon after the launching the presiden
tial party and the prince proceeded to the
hall, where a luncheon had been prepar
ed. The health of the prince was drunk
and then Prince Henry said:
"On this occasion I wish to call for
three hearty cheers for the president of
the United States, Mr. Roosevelt, 'Hip
Hip, Hoorah.' "
As the prince spoke he waved his arms
as a signal, and the building shook with
responding cheers. Then President Roose
velt raised his right hand, and when
there was silence, said: "I ask for three
cheers for the guest who has already won
our hearts, Henry of Prussia. Now a
good one."
President Roosevelt's "Hip, hjp hoo
rah," was drowned in the roar of ap
plause that greeted the call for cheers.
Then the prince and president shook
hands and as the party started to leave
tho hall, someone among the invited
guests shouted: "Mr. President, I offer
three cheers for the young lady who has
had the honor of launching the Me
teor."
Three cheers were given. The presi
dential party and the prince and his
suite then left for the Hohenzollern for
luncheon.
Militia Brutal Towards Crowds.
The arrangements at Shooters Island
generally were miserable and a situation
of discomfort to the majority was ac
centuated by the first and second battal
ions of the New York state naval militia
brought to the island to keep the lines
and to fire the presidential and royal
salutes. Unable to keep the lines, espe
cially after the launching, the militia
men lost their heads and took to
rough handling of many persons, even
women,, refusing to recognize either
badges or cards of invitation. Secretary
of War Root, for instance, was forced
back with a gun against his breast, and
would have been unable to enter the
buiiding- where the president, prince and
party were to lunch had it not been for
the timely arrival of Chief Wilkie, of the
secret service, who explained to the
militia men Mr. Root's name and rank.
There were many similar incidents.
Order was not fully restored even when
tlie presidential party appeared and its
progress to the luncheon room was there
fore slower. The hundreds of police pres
ent conducted themselves with the ut
most good nature and acted, so far as
their duty was concerned, in efficient
manner.
The Shooters island arrangements for
the comfort of the guests were exceed
ingly bad. No attempt, it seemed, had
been made to remove the thick coating of
slush and dirty snow an the roadways
and a number of the guests remained on
board the tugs or ether boats because of
the difficulties the women of their party
were called upon to encounter.
HOPE TO KXIT FRIENDSHIP.
Speeches of Prince and v President
Alike at the Luncheon.
NEW YORK, Pelb. 25.-At the luncheon
on the Hohenzollern today Prince Henry
addressed the President as follows:
. Mr. Roosevelt, you are here on ' board
as guest of lii s Majesty, the German
EmperoY, and I really believe that it is
the first time that a President of the
United States of America has ever teen

Please God it may not be the last time. '
I wish to thank ypu heartily for the re
ception I have had, from the first clay
I landed up to this moment, and if is
my sincere and certain impression that
there is a strong feeling of personal
friendship arising between us. May it
tend to the benefit of our two great
nations. I propose three cheers for Mr
Roosevelt." -
The national anthem was played after
the Prince's speech. -
The President arose directly to answer,
saying: ■ :. - ..:.-.... '

yet he did not want the records to show
that he favored it.
The county attorney moved, however,

Edgar F. Clauson, a homesteader near
Kenmare, N. D., and Hazel J. Miniear of
Minneapolis, found twenty-four hours to
be more than sufficient time in whi--h to
meet, do their wooing and get married.
I hey set eyes on each other for the
first time Sunday evening and the fol
lowing day went over to St. Paul where
they (Secured a marriage license and were
joined in the bonds of wedlock.
Mr. Clauson had not the slightest idea
of getting married when he left his
North Dakota home a few days ago. He
had been a little late Sunday night, when
he decided to taße a hack for home.
As he was about to get in the hack a
young woman stepped up and asked him
if she could not be taken home also. ]t
was a case of love at first sight. They
commenced their wooing right then and
there.
By agreement Mr. Clausion and Miss
Miniear met the following afternoon and
went over to St. Paul.
Mr. and Mrs. Clauson will remain in
Minneapolis but a few days more, when
they will go to thear future home on the
prairies of North Dakota.

University Students Do Not Want
Professors to Leave.
The stident body of tire university held
a mass meeting in the chapel yesterday
morning at -which resolutions were drawn
up expressing the hope that the authori

Profs. Burton, McVey and Woodbridge,
it having been rumored lately that these
three professors were considering propo

practically decided to leave for other

Opinion was unanimous that the institu

Cheers for the Prince followed.
The Prince expressed his thanks to
Miss Roosevelt, in the first place for the
truly graceful way in which she per
formed the ceremony of christening the
yacht.
"We sailors are said to be supersti
tious," continued the Prince, and, turn
ing to Admiral Evans, he said: "l be
lieve, Evans, we are not, but however this
may be, there will be a happy future to
this craft from the fact alone that "

Miss Alice Roosevelt."
During the luncheon cablegrams were
received from the kaiser by Prince Hen
ry, President Roosevelt and Miss Alice
Roosevelt. Miss Roosevelt desired to re

pad and pencil. He began to write the
message, and had! written a few words
when Mrs. Roosevelt smilingly took the

and saluted the throwers.
The mayor and members of the citizens'

of the city."
~ Thereupon the mayor formally present
ed the resolution, and in a speech spoke
of the charter granted the city of New
York by Gov. Dongan in 16&G, and added:
"The freedom of the city, which is now
to be conferred upon you, has not very
often been granted in all our history.
If it be now, in fact, but a form of words,
it is a form that signifies high reward
and genuine friendship for him upon
whom it is besowed."
Prince Henry replied: "Mr. Mayor, I
am most grateful for the kind reception
I find 'here in this house, as well as for
the very kind words you express on this
occasion. I am fully aware of the fact
that it is an exception that a member of
my family should have been offered the
freedom of the city of New York. 1 may
add that lam proud of it. It is the first
city which so many from the old world,
going over to the new world, meet ami
see. It is a city which 'has been an asy
lum for many of my countrymen. It is—
T am aware of the fact^-the center of
commerce.
Visit to C'einent friendship.
"I was deeply touched by the recep
tion which I found bfi. the • day of my
arrival, as well as today, when I drove
to the city hall. All of you know per
fectly well that I am not here on my own
behalf, but that I am- here on behalf oi
his majesty the German emperor, my |
beloved brother and sovereign.
"I am sorry that I chnnot repay yo'i 1
for all the kindness I have found het^
but I think that I am quite safe in say
ing that I may offer you the friendship
of his majesty the emperor of Germany,
and I agree with you, Mr, Mayor, that I
have not come here to "create a frlend
shi2..-.but to carry on the wld friendship
which has existed between our two na
tions, and which I hope may remain the
same in the future."
The prince was applauded.
The royal party went to Its car

of the American transcontinental lines.
The difficult part of the plan lies in
getting the trains from. Asia to America
across Bering strait. M. de Lobel says
they will run a tunnel under the strait
if they cannot develop a ferry system.
The ferry would be possible in summer,
but the strait has a fashion of freezing
solid in winter, and the ice Is a little
rough for iceboats, even if one could be
built of sufficient size to carry the "pal
ace trains."
The Frenchman first proposed the
scheme in 1898, and Ca:pt. Healy prom
ised to interest the Chicago capitalists
who have backed him witn great suc
cess in Alaskan mining ventures. The
Russian government bis been approached
on the matter, and assistance is expected
from the United States and France.
Even the English ought to help out to a
certain extent, for the road is to run
through many miles of Canadian terri
tory—when it runs.
M. de Lobel is "strong" for Amer
icans. He fought for their interests in
the Klondike a few years ago. Since his
return to France he has written several
articles showing 1 how American miners
have been treated unjustly Dy the Eng
lish authorities in the Yukon country.
He has even found facts which he thinks
will excuse the attempts at making the
Klondike independent from British sover
eignty.
This information rtgarding the pro
posed round-the-world road shouM be a
boon for the women who "expect lo g>
abroad next summer." They will have a
■va id excuse for postponing the trip.
Chicago people will welcome the road
with open arms. They may even try to
capture the American terminal. No long
er will tlrey 'have to go to Europe by way
of New York.
OMEN OF GOOD LUGK
CAT AND HER KITTENS HOLD POS
SESSION OF A CHURCH ORGAN.
NEW YORK.Feb. 25.—A handsome Mal
tese cat with a litter of four kittens lias
had undisputed possession of the organ
of the Church of the Transfiguration, at
Railroad avenue and Fulton street,
Brooklyn, for ten days. The feline fam
ily will not be disturbed by the members
of the church, and the parish commit
teernen will each take home a kitten
after the cats are of mature age. The
congregation is shortly to build a new
church, and the presence of the cat and
her family in the organ Is considered an
omen of good luck.
The cat made its first a.ppe>.-ance in
the church about a week ago. The.
choir was rehearsing last Saturday night
when between the notes of the organ a
strange squeaking sound was heard. The
organ was stopped and the loud mewing
of a full-sized cat was heard.
The organist and the choir boys made
an investigation and found a Maltese
cat hidden away among the pipes of the
organ. They tried to dislodge the cat
with a stick, but could not reach her.
They believed she would disappear, and
gave tihe matter no more attention.
On Sunday morning during the proces
sional the cat was heard meowing again,
and the rector, the Rev. Stewart Crockett!
D. D., sternly requested the janitor to
remove the cat from the building. The
cat couldn't be found, but between the
hymns her meowing was heard all over
the edifice.
Dr. Crockett went Into his pulpit much
disturbed, and was talking eloquently
upon the propriety of observing Lent,
when he noticed his congregation titter
ing. He Injected a warning about levity
during the Lenten period in his discourse,
and then stopped suddenly as a plaintive
meow came from beneath his robes. He
looked down and saw two pretty kittens
playing with the edge of his cassock.
He tried to catch the kittens, but they
scampered into the organ and disappear
ed in one of the ornamental pipes.
After the service a hurried meeting of
the vestrymen was held, and they con
cluded that the kittens would have to be
removed, even if the organ had to be
taken apart. The Sunday school super
intendent, Frederick Phillips, said the
kittens would certainly disturb the Sun
day school, and they would have to be
removed.
CAUTIOUS ABOUT IXD-ORSIXG.
J. Pierpont Morgan is the hero of an
anecdote repeated at a recent meeting In
the headquarters of the steel trust, and
if not apocryphal, illustrates a bent of
humor hitherto unsuspected in the bank
er.
While in London he visited the Bank of
England with a large currency note for
which he wished to obtain gold. The
teller examined the note and handed it
back.
"You have not indorsed it," said he,
glad of an opportunity to ocupy an atti
tude.
"la this not payable on demand?" ask
ed Mr. Morgan, simulating suprise.
"Yes, if indorsed"—haughtily.
The magnate frowned. "I am very
careful whose notes I indorse," said he
with mock severity. "*
"Do you challenge the Bank of Eng
land?" gasped the clerk, gazing at the
visitor as upon a blasphemer.
"If you are solvent, why do you want
my name on your paper?"
The glare of suspicion which accompa
nied the words was too much for the
clerk; he staTed speechlessly.
"Very well," continued the magnate
with vigor. "We will let it go to pro
test."
The petrified clerk looked alarmed
about it, but could offer nothing in reply
except a mumbled and ridiculous assur
ance that the bank was not in distress. l
Inen Mr. Morgan smiled and indorsed
it—Philadelphia Express.
