Suicide of n Fallen Girl
No Council Meeting.
Froiii Shnmc to Suloldo.
Another of earth's frail unfortunate ? ,
tired of the scenes of a cold and un
feeling world , in a moment of frenzy
and despair yesterday , took a dose of
deadly polsonj and by her own hand
ended a life of shame. About < noon a
man appeared on the rtrcots , and was
anxiously inquiring for the coroner.
Inquiry soon revealed the fact that one
of the inmates of Belle Clover's house
of prostitution , at fcOO Broadway , had
committed suicide by taking poison , and
was then lying dead at the above named
place. The coroner -was absent at
Crescent City , and in response to a tele
gram sent word that ho would be homo
about 0 o'clock. A BIE reporter visited
the scene of the tragedy , and inter
viewed several of the inmates as well as
the landlady concerning the shocking
deed. The information elicited fiom
the landlady enshrouded the affair in a
mystery. She said that the dead givl
came to her house a week ago from
Sioux City in company with another
girl who was there in the house , and
who had boon there before on several
occasions. The dew conlor , whoso nnmo
was Maud Clark , was a total stranger to
her. but appeared very lighthcarted
during her stay , and was in fact "tho
life of the house. " Sunday night she
was in even bettor spirits than usual ,
and remained in the parlor with the
landlady-until about a quarter past 2.
She then retired , bidding1 the
latter an affectionate good-nlghtj
No moro was scon of her until.nearly 11
o'clock yesterday morning when , not
appearing at the breakfast table , the
cook was sent to call her , and the dis
covery was made that faho was dead.
The body was warm , and it was evident
that death had but iccontly taken
place. When the undertaker , accom
panied by the reporter , arrived on the
scene , the body had been laid out for
burial , but clapped in the right hand of
the deccabcd was a brief note an
nouncing the fatal intention of the
suicido. The note was as follows :
"When you 11 nd this I will bo dead. I
will not toll jou the cause. Maud. "
The neck and arms wore badly dis
colored , but the features of the dead
woman gave no indication of a painful
death. The remains were that of a wo
man probably twenty-one or twenty-two
years of age , who in life must have been
of very prepossessing appearance. The
statements of the woman , Blanche Ham
ilton , who accompanied the deceased
from Sioux City , throw moro light on
the subject than what was paid by any
of the others. She baid that she had
known the dead woman for nearly three
months , having boarded at the same
houfae with hep in Sioux City for about
a month. She did not know that the
deceased was coining here until a week
ago last Saturday she mot her on the
train on her way to this city. At that
time the deccabcd told her that she was
"coming hero for girls , as she was keep
ing houbo" at Sioux City. After ar
riving hero she stated that she thought
she would stay hero permanently.
The woman Blanche also said that
the deceased had a "friend" by the
name of Will , at Sioux City who was
much opposed to her coming away , and
offered to pay her board in Sioux City
while she learned the dressmaker's
trade , but told her ho would "quit her"
if bho over went to a "house. " After
coming here she tried to keep him in
ignorance of her stopping place , and on
Sunday evening went to the Northwest
ern depot to mall a letter to him , on the
Sioux City train. It appeared to bo the
impression of those knowing anything
about the case , that the Sioux City man
had found out where his sweetheart was ,
and had written her a letter , breaking
with her. At the time she came hero
she had several letters in her posses
sion , but they had all been destroyed ,
as none could bq found among her
ellects. She had several fine dresses
and some money. Slid has relatives at
St. Joseph , but her parents are both
supposed to bo dead. No bottle or any
thing to indicate the nature of the pow
erful agent bho had chObon to end her
life could bo found in the room.
Inquiry at several drug stores in the
vicinity Jailed to discover where she ob
tained the fatal drug. Ono druggist
said that the landlady had ordered him
not to soil any morphine to her girls ,
but to give quinine instead. Sometime
ago ono of them came in , and ordered
sixty grain's of that drug. In obedience
to instructions , the clerk put up sixty
grains of quinine. The woman wont
ho'mo and took the whole doso. Had it
been morphine it would not have hurt
her , as she was used to taking it in very
largo quantities , but , being unused to
the quinine , it made lots of trouble , and
a doctor had to be called to relieve her.
On recovering she llrmly announced her
intention of killing the next drug clerk
who should give her quinine for morphine -
phino , and , as the "old lady" counter
manded her order as far as this particu
lar ono was concernedtho morphine
eater always gets what she calls for now.
The funeral of the friendless suicide
will take place to-day , and nil that was
mortal of Maud Clark will bo laid to
rest in the grave.
When Coroner Waterman arrived in
the city in the evening ho proceeded to
empanel a jury and hold the inquest.
Several witnesses wore examined , but
the jury asked to have a postmortem
examination made before rendering a
verdict. In searching among the olfccts
of the deceased , a tin-typo , taken by
Johiibon , 705 Fourth street , Sioux City ,
was found , and attached to it wasapicco
of paper marked "Miss Gorty Davis , 210
Clark street , Sioux City. "
This was the only writing found
among the effects.
Ono of the witnesses stated that the
'deceased ' had told hoi-that the name of
hotmala friend in Sioux City \\as Will
Rosa ,
The remains were removed t6 the un
dertaking rooms of Field & Estepwhoro
the post mortem examination will bo
made at 10 o'clock this morning by
Drs. Macraannd Bellinger.
The funeral will take place from the
sumo rooms at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The Major's Sentence ,
The trial of Brown , -alias "Major
Williams , " has created much interest
hero , -where ho ran such a sensational
career and gained such notoriety in
connection with the UUlinff of Jack
Hughes. There are few hero but be
lieve that ho killed Hughes , but tliQ
myblorlouS disappearance of eyewitnesses -
nesses enabled him tq escape : It ap
pears now that.tardy justice has over
taken him. Following his conviction
for another murder at Troy , N. Y. ,
comes his sentence , which is for twelve
years , the jury hnvlnc found him guilty
of manslaughter.
The closing scene on sentence day is
thus given by n reporter :
In reply to < lucsllons by 1Kb court after the
oath had been administered to hhjl Orotvn
slated that he wa\ born In New Yoik , would
by forty-five yenrs old August 4 , 1688 , and
was by occupation n hotel keeper.
The Qourt Hnvc you anything to soy why
sentence should not bo pronounced upon
you !
Brown No , sir.
C , E. Patterson , of council for the pris
oner , aekcd the court to be ns lenient ns pos
sible. Mr. Patterson said Drown had told
the sumo story on the stand that ho had told
Mr. Patterson at the beginning. "J believed
thnt Btory , " ho continued. "I believe it now.
I thought I Could convince a Jury that It was
true , hut I did not. I believe that
ttrown was convicted of not what
ho did in taking the llfo of
Patrick Kclley but for his bad character. A
fact has como to my knowledge since the
trial thnt the defense did not know nt the
time of the trial. Ttiis mnn was born of re
spectable parents nnd he grow1 up In Troy
with nothing ngnlnst him , till ho enlisted in
the nrmy nnd served n term. He was honof-
nbly discharged , but in thq nrmy ho acquired
nomadic hnbits thnt led to his wanderings
nnd to the character which led him into
trouble. " Mr. Patterson referred to the
course taken by the bullet and argued that It
showed that Patrick Kclley was the assail
ant , and not Brown. "Ho has three children )
the oldest a son nineteen j cars of ngc , nnd a
widowed mother who will suffer more than
ho will suffer. I respectfully ask that the
court bo as lenient ns possible. "
District Attorney Grimth said : "As I said
nt the opening of this case , the prosecuting
oflltcr did not come hero to cry out for von-
ccanco. Wo sought only to do our duty In
this wise , and a conviction has been secured.
Wo hope th < S lesson will teach the criminal
classes in this community thnt the ln\V will
bo upheld , nnd criino will ho punished , It
matters not with whom criminals associated ,
nor who comes to their rescue after the criino
has been committed. I bcllovo this conviction
shows thnt the sentiment of the community
Is in support of the district attorney's effort
to prosecute persons Who , commit crime. The
district attorney has no desire that this mnn
bo punished bojondn reasonable proportion
to the enormity of the criino ho has com-
mitred , I would It were In my
power thnt cverj'mnn who commits n crime
might suffer nlono. I pity thnt son. Ho is
nn honest boy , nnd I feel for this man's
children nnd his widowed mother , but I
stand here representing the law nnd order of
the community , Its peace and Its future.
The criminal classes must bo given to under
stand that the district attorney means just
what ho said wh n he went Into office , that
crime must bo made odious nnd ciluilnuls
punished. 1 do not ask that this man bo
punished beyond what the law demands. 1
don't ask that ho bo punished on his previous
character. The police say ho has. committed
no serious violation of law in Troy. ' t believe
ho sees the error of his wajs , and that his
conviction will be a warning to nil in like
cases offending. "
The Court--13rown , stand up. It is to bo
regretted that the painful 'doty is imposed
upon the court of passing sentence upon a
man of your appearance , of your intelligence ,
of your capacity , and n man situated in lifo
with a family as you are , Hut the painful
duty imposed upon the court is trilling as
comp.iicd with the punishment the sentence
will Inflict upon you and upon those inter
ested In you personally. The crirno of wnich
you stand conviotod is the taking of the life
of n human being , not by premeditated de-
sipn , but in a cruel and unlawful manner
with n dangerous and deadly wenpor The
law protects society against such crimes ns
far as the law can. " After fuithcr admonition

The police reaped a rich harvest of
drunks Sunday , and Judge Aylosworth
assessed the flues yesterday morning in
amannci' highly pleasing to the specta
tors in police court , although quite the
reverse to the impromptu taxpayers.
John Leanv was fined $7.00. Dennis
Shea , who had paid a line on the pre
ceding moi-ning and secured his re
lease , had been arrested later in the
day on the same charge. The court
thought it was merely the tail end of
the same old drunk , and discharged
him. D. E. Brodoric was taxed $7.GQ.
Frank Rhodes and Pat Ryan were dis
charged ,
John Roderick was held for the lar
ceny of a valise from John Gallagher.
The latter employed him to carry the
valise to the train for him , and sent
him aboard with it while he purchased
a ticket. When ho got on the tialn.
both valise and valet had disappea.-ed.
Ho was apprehended later and arrested.
HO had his case continued until ho
could secure legal advice and prepare a
defense.

YOUTHFUL INDIAN SLAYERS.
Atlvicc to the Boy Terrors of the Ttcrt-
fikln.
Detroit Free Press : Como , my son , it
is time you wore getting ready for a
spring campaign against the Indians
and grizzlies. You have been reading
"Daring Dan. " "Ilpthe Indian SlayeiV'
"Gus , the Grizzly Killer" and Other exciting -
citing and truthful stories , intended to
make a boy dissatisfied with humdrum
lifo , and your mind is made up to go
west.
You must havo1 , an outfit. That cap
bo got while wailing for spring to open.
One reason why-so many boy . hunters
make a failure is because they economi/.o
too much in the qutlit. Doirt bo stingy
in buying guns. . . It will bo all the bet-
if you have a Spencer carbine and a
double-barreled shotgun togo with your
Winchester. Suppose you came sud
denly upon a band of eighteen Apache
warriors. You feould only kill sixteen
of them with your Winchester , and two
would be left to ride olT and alarm the
tribe. By having some guns along you
are sure of the whole crowd , and the
tribe won't get on to you.
And don't ' scrim on bowie knives. It
would bo an almost fatal mistake to start
out with only two. Buy four , at least.
They are for use nt close quarters with
grizzlies. Of course one bOwie is enough
to kill ono bear with , but you may be
attacked by four bears at once , and four
knives would then be in demand. If
you don't get but three bowies make up
the deficiency with a Snaniso stiletto era
a Noorish dagger. It will come in handy
not only in a close fight , but to pick your
teeth with at the camp fire.
As for dress , get a fringed buckskin , a
cgonskin cap and regular moccasins.
Such things as shirts , collars , cuffs and
handkerchiefs would be only Waste lug
gage. If you should appear in Miles
City with a collar on it would give you
away at once. Nobody would suspect
that you were the young terror from the
east who was acjiing for a chance to tie
a knot in a grizzly bear's tail.
You should take at least 200 pounds of
ammunition. You may bo corralled
somewhere in the Rocky mountains by
400 fierce anil determined Indians , and
you don't want to lose your scaly for the
want of a few extra cartridges. All the
provisions needed isasackof jerked buf
falo meat. It doesn't make the least bit
of difference whether the buffalo was
tin-own off his feet over precipice or
head over hcsls. If the meatis a little
fly-blown it will add to your dignity as a
hunter. You can chew nlug tobacco or
not , just as you feel about it , but it
would bo wisest to do so , All the cham
pion terrors chew largo qualities , and
the juice comes handy to spit into a rat
tlesnake's eye.
I wouldn't take a horse if I were you.
Ho would bo a great deal of trouble to
take care of , and most of your hunting
will bo in a rough country , The true
terror has always gone afoot , and always
will. Anybody on horseback can make
up faces at grizzly and gallop oil out of
roach.
Ono great mistake which the average
boy makes is in planning to accomplish
too much tho. first season. 'Most of them
figure on wiping Out about ono thousand
Indians and twice that number of bears.
Keen your estimate down to a reasona
ble figure. You feel ambitious and en
thusiastic , .of course , but there is u
limit to what a boy can do. Set your
figures' at about four hundred Indians
and three hundred grizzles. Thi.s will
ho almost two per day the year around ,
anrt will keep yoiit from spoiling.
I should scalp every Indian I shot. It
not only looks moro business-like to do
BO , but that's what you've got a scalp-
ing-knifo. for , ariu if you can get about
two hundred scalp-locks you can make
the nicest door-mat you over saw. It
don't hurt a dead Indian a bit to scalp
him , and if you don't take it it will go to
waste , It would bo well to have n six *
mule team follovvyou at a distance of a
mile , or so to pick up imd care for the
rides , knives , bows and arrows and war
clubs of the slain Indians , Those can
be run past by car-lots and sold at auc
tion , and the profits will buy all your
ammunition. .Don't exterminate any
particular tribo'of red men , but kill elf
about one-fourth of BOTOJI or eight dif
ferent tribes- This will extend your
reputation as n terror.
As to the best way of killing an In
dian I shall not pretend to ad vise. Sorao
bojs prefer to shoot and others belicvo ,
in sticking him with a knife. If jou
can catch him by tlio foot with a lasso
and drag him over the earth until his
spinal column is worn down til a tooth

a great many more than we can mention ,
18 Main and 17 Pearl Sts. J. GOLDBERG- :
in a dime novel. The true terror will
.wind his Mexican scrape around hts
loft arm , hold it out for the bear to
chow on , and , while the beast Is busy
getting aIneal , put a bowie knife into
him to the heart. You will bo a trifle
nervous with your first bear , but after
that it will bo as easy as climbing a
fence. . The claws should bo separated
from the bkin and sold in adigoient lot.
The latest quotation on bear claws is
$10 per bushel , and if'you can't average
more than two bushels a day you will
still make a good thing of it.
< Tlic Cutest Inttlo Things.
"CutoJ" ho echoed. "Well , I dqn't
know ns the adjective would have oc
curred to mo in just that connection.
But if you mean that they do their work
thoroughly , yet make no fuss about it ,
cause no pain or weakness , and , in short ,
arc everything that a pill ought to bcj ,
and nothing that it ought not , then I
agree that Pierce"s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are about the cutest little things
going ! "
Giving the Poor a Chance.
Burdotto : Give tJxo poor man a
chance. My son , the poor man takes
about all the chances without waiting
tq have one given him. If you give
him any more chajices than ho takes ,
ho will boon own everything , and run
ih6 Texas man out of the country. The
fact is , wo must curtail the poor man's
chances a little. Wo must sit down ou
him , and hold him down , and give the
rich man a chance. The poor man has
had things his own way too long. Ho
has crowded the rich man out. But for
the poor man this old \\orld would have
cast anchor 0,000 years ago , and bo cov
ered with moss and lichens to-day , like
a United States man-of-war. Edgar
Allan Pee was the bon of strolling
players ; George Peabocly was a boy in a
binallgrocery : Benjamin Franklin , the
printer , was tno bon of a tallow chand
ler ; John Adams was the son of a poor
farmer1. Gifford , the first editor of the
Quarterly Review , was a common
tailor ; Ben Johnson rare Bon Jolinson
was a bricklayer ; the father of Slmks-
pcaro couldn't spell and couldn't write
his own name neither can you ; o von his
illustrious son couldn't spell it twice
alike ; Robert-Burns was a child of pov
erty , the eldest of seven childr.cn , the
family of a poor bankrupt ; John Milton
was the son of a scrivener ; Andrew
Jackson was the son of a poor Irishman ;
Andrew Johnbon was a tailor ; Garfield
was a boy of all work , too poor oven to
have a trade ; Grant was a tanner ; Lin
coln was a keel boatman and common
farm hand , and the Prince of Wales is
the son of a queen. It is his misfortune ,
hot his fault , ho couldn't help it , tind ho
can't help it now. But you see , my dear
boy , that's all there is of him ; he's just
the Prince of Wales , and he's Only that
because ho can't help it. Bo thankful ,
my dear boy , that you weren't bo n a
prince ; be thankful that you didn't
strike twelve the first time. If there is
a patch oh your knco and your elbows
glossy , there is tome hope for you , but
never again lot mo hear you say that
the poor man has no chance. True , a
poor lawyer , a poor doctor , a poor prin
ter , a poor workman of any kind has no
chance ; ho deserves to have none , but
the poor man monopolizes about all the
chances there aro.
Put Laban and Jacobs in business to
gether anywhere , and in about fifteen
years Jacob will own about four-fifths of
the cattle , but ho will have married
about one-half his partner's family. Go
to , my bon , let us give the rich man"
chance.

It is fitting that pearls should repose
in rosy cushions. The contrast is be
witching. For example look at a mouth
filled with pearly teeth testing in ruddy
gums as hard as coral ; natural gems
and settings made beautiful with SOZ-
