A despatch from Montreal says: A
suicide by shooting occurred early, on
Thursday on Nazareth street, when an
unkr►°wit man deliberately pulled a re-
volver from his hip pocket and blew
his brains out on the sidewalk. The
victim was about thirty years of age,
five keel three inches ori height and well
built. 11e has dark hair and a small
moustache, and the leUers "Z. C." inc
tattooed on his right arm. Ile had on
a grey tweed suit and a red and while

WAS WRECKED BY FRAUD
'100 MANY TRAITORS IN POLISH
REVOLUTIONARY I'AIITY.
Members Even Resorted to Robbery and
Terrorism to Fill Their Otwn
Pockets.
Not for n kng time hag anyth`ng oc-
curred which has afforded :o ruuclt sub
is -faction to the Itussinn bureaucrats as
the break up of therevolutionist sec"
lion of the Polish socialist party. They
are still chuckling and rubbing their
hands gleefully over it. 1t is said that
when the news reached the Czar, who
seldom seniles these days, he actually
laughed for joy.
Some meager details of the dissolu-
bon of this militant organizati(,n of so-
cialisls may have reached you by tele-
graph and cable, Lut as news the mai-
tre is deserving of a more extended re-
tort. That as an organization it has
ceased to exist admits of no doubt. Its
disbandment has been announced in a
circular issued at Lodz, the headquar-
ters of Polish socialism, by its respon-
sible heads. That once powerful party,
before which, one short year ago, Rus-
sian officials trembled and to which
Polish citizens turned for protection,
has dissolved itself.
The manifesto is not without a cer-
lain pathos. "\Vo have still," it says,
"an income of 1,800 roubles per month
%sod we still possr_ss
SONfl' 5,000 MEMBERS.
Rut those who have been given arms
for the cause of liberty use Them for
banditisn and horrible acts of terror-
ism. \Ve, therefore, dissolve, this party,
as 1t has ceased 41 Hint at the purpose
for which it was created."
This Is only too true. The revolution-
ists, having shown great courage, wide
resources and a certain amount of tal-
ent for organization, failed utterly to
preserve discipline annongs* the rank
and file. The leaders imported revolv-
ers frorn Germany; they showed their
felowcrs how to use them, and showed
them to such good purpose that wtten-
ever a man was awned at it was almost
s dead certainty that he would be
killed. But they omitted one precept;
they forgot to teach these %verniers
when not to shoot. They forgot 10
teach them not to take money, and the
consequence was that 90 per cent. of
thorn raided banks and chops and
lrnins. not for the sacred cause of free-
dom, but for tiro sordid benefit of their
own pockets.
And this was not all. The rank and
Ole had their examples from some ':f
the leaders (themselves, who, while pre.
tending to work for their party,
schemed and intrigued to get money
from nervous citizens who blessed them
ler the best police in itussle and paid
dearly for the honor of the b'ne fiction.

Zielinski went to the police, who re -
(used to help him. Then the waiters

presented himself to tum saying, ''My

waiters mast have something, as they
ate destitute, but they waist too much.
let me act as your Intermediary and 1

Zielinski Thanked Hero, and accepted

the restaurant -keeper's molcstntions
