trunk, took out a pistol, and placed,
it to ble throat. The terrified girl
clutched the weapon in an attempt to
frustra,te his designs, but she was too
tate. (He pulled tbe trigger, and the
bullet went through las side. When the
,police entered they found the faithful
girl bending aver the prastrate form

Eatrangenteus Between a Millionaire Sheep
Owner 111111 His Daughter.
Alfred Asbbrook, a /millionaire sheep
owiner, of Melbourne, Australia, 'died
in 1896, and left his estranged daugh-
ter, Edith, one-third of his veleable
estate. The HeiMeSS is supposed to be
in Chicago or its vicinity, and detec-
tives Are trying to find her.
The announcement of Ashbrook's
death and the disposition of his pro-
perty was made in a communication

WITA.T HE SAYS OF IT.
This event was so far out of the or-
dinary that the paragraph has been
quoted in a large munber of French
and American newspapers, and millions
of readers have wondered bow, in it
oivilized community, such a succession
of suicides could have taken place. The
celebrated French professor was seen in
his private room at the faeulty, in
the Due de l'Ecole de Medicine, Paris,
by tt representative and said:
"I was not aware that the paragraph
in question bad been circulated so
broadly, I mentioned the case during
one of ray regular lectures on medico-
legal questions at the faculty, and if
I remember rightly it was during one
of my swags on hanging and strang-
ulation that the particular instance
was noticed by ma But I will tell you
frankly that it is impossible for Inc to
give you any more detailed informa-
tion about thesefew lines you place he -
fore me without mentioning the name
of the person wbo is living to whom,
reference is made in the paragrapb. On
no account would I do this.
THREE REASONS OF HANGING.
No one has studied hanging from a
legal point of view more thoroughly
tlaan has Dr. Brouarel. Said he'
"When a man is found hanged there
are always three questions that the
doctor who is called in to examine the
body should ask himself. They are as
follows: Is death the result of (1)
homicide, (2) suicide, (3) or ark accident?"
Dr.. Bx:ouardel lays down the method
by which a doctor should proceed in
order to solve the mystery. First, he
should obtain a reply to the question,
Was the individual hanged when he
was alive or suspended after death?"
This question has raised much dis-
cussion among medical men of all na-
tions, for the carreet answer to this
query is not always easily reached.
Congestion of the lips has been often
accepted as sufficient proof of a. per-
son _having been hanged alivethis sort
of congestion being a vital phenome-
non, one which cannot take place after
death. Amoral/1g to Dr. Brouardelethis
is not so, and the only conclusion to
be reached by examination of the eon-
gestion of the lips is regarding tbe
time, during which the individual has
been hanging.
WHEN DID THEY DIE?
Another important point on which
judge and jurymen are always in doubt
is the precise moment of death. There
are two methods of determining the
exact lour; they are by examination
of the cadaverous rigidity and the di-
gestive cendition of the subject. Asa
rule, persons who performpost-mortem
examinations are of opinion that the
matter found in the stomach is a sure
means of indicating the precise hour of
death. Such, it appears, is a very seri-
ous error, for no two stomachs axe alike.
Everybody digests differently.
"It was during tbe exanaination of
these medico -legal questions," conclud-
ed the celebrated doctor, "that I was
brought to quote some curious instances
of miscarriage of justice owing to im-
proper medical post-mortem examina-
tion. One must be exceedingly careful
before he specifies whether a subject
met with his death by suicide, homicide
or accident. The doctors who make the
examinations should bear in raind that
there are such occurrences as epidemics
of suicide and conatmemorative suicides.
It is in Ibis latter class that 1 included
the famous case of Etanapes. And one
must always be careful that cases of
suicide or accident are not put down
as cases of murder, as has but too of-
ten happened."

MR. GRATEBAR TO PHILLIP.
Sone Further Discourse ye the •subeect or
°pimps/unities.
"la proportion as conarnunities become
more settled and populous, Philip," said
Mr, Graeber, "the great opportunities
that exist in them fly higher and high-
er and become. more and more difficult
to capture.. For this reason men often
seek new fields where the shooting is
easier; but in this, Philip, as in every-
thing else one must exercise judgment
He must find a field in whith game
actually does exist, and one that is like-
ly to produce such opportunities as he
is able to anal to account. No snow
shoveller, for example, should locate in
the tropics. Nor could the best boat
builder that ever Iivect reasonably ex -
peel to succeed in a desert, even thougb
it were hundreds of miles in extent and
he had a monopoly of the business.
"What I am endeavoring to point
out tn you, Philip, is thet not all new
fields are sure to yield a profit; as a
matter of fact, many are quite barren.
A man must find the right place; and
the discernment that would enable him
to do this would almost certainly qual-
ify him to stay right here and figbt
with the giants.
"And that is just what I should ad-
vise you to do, Philip. Here is where
the big game is to be found. But, as
I have hefore in substance remarked,
you must be prepared to meet -it., Don't
fool away your time waiting at a bear
lick with a gun loaded for tshipe, Phil -
