Livingston's Special i ----~ e t ¢ | | NH ha ROMANTIC YOUTH SUICIDED.| Love Stories and Theatres Turned His Head. New York, April 8.--Separation from his parents, whom he had not seen in four years, and constant reading of love letters, are supposed to be the causes that led Frangis Lucas, sixieen years old, to commit suicide, yester- day,- in. his room, at 513 Fifty-firet street, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Young Lucas, after coming from a theatre, apparently made an attempt to hang himself to a bed post, as the rope with a noose in it was found hanging there when his body was dis- covered, yesterday. He had made a second and successful effort to 'kill himself by turning on the gas in his room and was dead when tound by his landlady. ' Until a few days ago the boy had been employed by his un- cle, Frederick Heilbrown, ; in* a dry goods store at Fifty-third gtréet and Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, but, following a dispute with one of the men over him, yolng Lucas secured a position elsewhere. The boy was well develop- ed and good-looking. He spent most of his time when not working at the theatres or reading in his room. * On the bureau in his room was found the to be an actress, whom, however, he did not know, and on it, copied in the photograph of a& young, woman, said boy's handwriting, was the following passage : "He was a typical young American. Handsome, clever, with straightforward manners and well used to soviety. She (here followed the name of an actress) was beautiful." After Lucas left the employ of his uncle he took a room at No. 513 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, and, according to the landlady, Mrs. Parry, appeared to be very melancholy. She detected the odor of gas on ansing, yesterday, and traced it to the room occupied by her new lodger. Policeman "Thompson, who was sum- moned, forced * the door and applied first aid, but the boy refused tg re spond to treatment. His uncle was notified and will take charge of the body. The boy's parents live in Germany, and since fie left them, four years ago, to come to this country to work for his uncle, he had been despondent over the fact that he could not report) greater progress to his' parents. | STOCK QUOTATIONS. | Cobalt and Leading Canadian Stocks Listed.
