Shoots Himself in the Heéad--Left a Note Saying He Intended to Take His Life--It is Scarcely Likely He Can Recover. Frederick Wirtz, of Ogdensburg, N.Y. formerly of Kingston, shot himself, with suicidal intent, in his room in the Iroquois hotel, just after noon, on { Friday. He was removed to the Hotel Dieu unconscious and his recovery is very doubtful. Mr. Wirtz left a note on the dicsser stating that he was tgk- ing his life for yeasons best known to himself, and directed that the Oddfel- lows take charge of his hody. A chambermaid was among. those on second floor of the Iroquois, who were startled by a revolver shot. The pro- prietor was immediately notified, and, with several] others, hurried upstairs to No. 2 room occupied by Mr. Wirtz, who was found unconscious, sitting? in a chair at the foot of the bed, his head hanging down, and his coat off. A 32- calibre revolver was lving on the floor beside him. Examination showed that he had shot himself through the left side of the head, between the eye and the ear. Dr. Hanley was called and was soon on the scene, and ordered the unconscious man to be removed to the Hetel Dieu, Corbett's ambulance was telephoned for, and conveyed Mr. Wirtz to that hospital. Dr, Hanley could not hold out any hope of recovery. Mr. Wirtz arrived in Kingston, on Wednesday afternoon on the-boat from Cape Vincent, and had been in the city since. Laat night, he did not return to the hotel, but came in about eight o- clock Friday morning. He was about the hotel during the morning, and did not appear to be unusually depressed, although he had stated to several of his friends that he was very much dis appointed with himself. Late in the morning. he had a lass of ale brought to his room. After eleven o'clock, he had evidently sat down, wrote the note above referved to, and then prepared to take his life with the coolest courage, Mr. Wirtz lived in Kingston for years He was for a long time a member of the RCH. A., and a first-class trum- net in the 14th band and the Grand Opera House orchestra up to the time he left Kingston several years agr. For seme year he conducted a shoe ropair shop, on Wellington street. At Ogdersburg, he was in the same busi fied, and was n-member of Merrv's orchestra. He was very populag with his assoeiatés amd friends, who were greatly grieved to hear of his rash ect. Mc. Wirtz has a wife and daughter jn Jgdensburg. He Left a Message. Mr. Wirtz left a note, which had been written with a lead pencil. The hote was addressed to his wife, and in it Wirtz told her that he was very sorry- to have to do this act. He stated farther that something com- pelled him to take this action. He ex- pressed the wish that the Oddiellows take charge of his funeral, and also asked to be buried in Cataraqui ceme- tery. He hoped that the Lord would have mercy on his soul. Mrs, Wirtz is in Beaverton, N.Y, and she was notified of the affair by Coroner Dr. Sands. With the note was a shipping bill of goods bei went over the New York Central rail- {way from Beaverton to another point near there. Mr. Wirtz was well-known in oity, had a host of friends, apd were shocked over the affair, called at the Hotel Dien this noon, when the news had around about it. Several citizens who had been talk- ing with Wirtz, since he came to the eity, stated that he appeared to he in his usual good spirite and could give no reason whatever for his 'act- ion. Five vears ago Mr. Wirtz had an attack of nervous prostration in Kingston, and was in a bad state for some time. the all Several after- spread Passed Away at 3.43 O'Clock, Mr. Wirtz Jasind away at 3.15 clock. Everything possible was done for him, Lut from the very first, his ease was hopeless. It was stated that in the note that Wirtz left, he ave financial difficulties as the onuse of his rash act. He wan sorry for his wile, but felt that he had to take his life.

Zelaya, the extraordinary man who for sixteen years retained the pre- siderty of Nicaragua, only to lose it because he went too far in offending the government of the United States, was never satisfied unloss he performed, his voups d'etats in the most drama- tic fashion possible. This story the New York Sun tells of him : His spies once brought him informa- {ion that a revolution was being plan- ned by several of his army officers. They were to meet on a certain even- mg at the house of one of the con- spirators to arrange the final details, | While they were eagerly discussing the best way ta seize the president the door opened and in walked Zelaya himself, "Good evening, gentlemen," he said, sleasantly. "I heard yom had a party Po this evening, and I have dropped m to share the fun. Quite *a distin- guished gathermg. You are discussing military matters, no doubt." He went on, chatting affably for a half hour, while' his enemies were torn with fear and suspense. Did he know of the plot? Most of them thought he did and wondered whether {they had better not put a bullet in hima at once. But he was so eordial, so thoroughly at ease, that they hes- itated. Presently he rose, poured out wine and raised his glass. "A toast, gentlemen," he said. "Here's long life to the president of Nicaragua and confusion to all trait ore. As he spoke he hurled some the glass (against the window, where it smashed in pieces with a crash, The door flow open, and thirty or forty soldiers, who had been waiting outside for the gignal rushed in.

Each of Giant Shade Trees Cost a Pint of Rum. Wonnebee Journal, One of the most striking attractions of the old town of Kittery Point has long been her towering elms. They rise magnificently above trees of all other varieties, and in summer with their foliage encompass her quaint streets in delicious green coolness, transforms the fine old place into a veritable . seashore fairyland and last, but not least, enrapture the summer visitor. For nearly two miles along the high- ways, which for the most part fol: lows the shore of the harbor, these splendid specimens rear themselves at fairly .zegular intervals, though the axe has in times past brought some of the monarchs crashing to the earth, The story of the circumstances at- tending the planting of the giants, as it has been handed down from father to son, runs as follows : 'Major Thom- as Cutts, one of the old town fath- ers, who conducted a fishing business, foreign ¢ommerce, a store and a tav- ern in the famous Pepperell mansion {built 1662), conceived the very com- mendable idea of beautifying his na- tive town by setting out trees. "Accordingly in 7 1791 be gave one Samuel Blake the contract. Samuel's remuneration was nothing more or less than a pint of rum, doustiens brought from the West Indies by one of the major's piokies, for each tree planted. There were originally ninety of them, and they extended from the Seavey lot, near where the First Christian church now stands, to the 'top of the Point" or the shore of Spruce creek." P---------------- Some Dog Talk. A professor in a Wisconsin univer sity has figured it out that when two strange dogs meet the following con- versation becurs : "Well, who are you?" "None of your business; who are you?" "Don't be so fly. You are not the only dog around here." "Don't give me any of your sass!" "And don't you get the hair up on my back."

There has just been published under the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancoment of Teaching 5 most com- prehensive and detailed report on Me dical Education in the United States It is a large volume of over 360 pages. It presents an histor ical servey of the whole subject, and a detailed study of present condi tions, together with a characterization of each of the 150 medical schools this continent. Each school was vis: ited. Queen's Medical Callege is thus referred to: - "Western University (London) is as bad ds anything on this side of the Line; Laval and Halifax medical col loges ave. fecble; Winnipeg and King- ston represent a distinct effort to- wards higher ideals, McGill and To- ronto are excellent. The eight schools of the dominion thus belong to the different types, the best adding a fifth vear to their advantage of superior equipment and instruction. At this moment the needs of the {dominion could be met by the four { Letter English schools and the Laval department at Quebec. Toronto has practically reached the limits of of- ficiency in point of size; McGill and Manitoba are capable of considerable expausion. The future of Kingston is at least doubtful. It could certain- ly maintain a two-vear school; for the Kingston General Hospital would af- ford pathological and clinical material amply sufficient up to that point.

The school relies mainly on the adjoining Kingston Gen- eral Hospital, in which its faculty practically constitutes the staff. The average number of beds available is 80, but they are well used. In addi- jon to ward work, students are re quired to work up individual cases in correct form, including the clinical laboratory aspects. There is a ward for infectious discases. Obstetrical cases are too few: Post-mortems are secured mainly at the Rockwood. Ins sane Asylum. Two supplementary hospitals provide additional illustra tive clinical material.

Toronto, June 17.--~An amusing dis- cussion took place at the Anglican sy- nod, this morning. The report of the Widows and Orphans Fund committees was under consideration when ny a mendment was propossd to the effest that when any clergyman, fifty-five years or over, makfied a woman ten years younger than himself the latter ghould forfeit all rights upon the fund in the event of .her husbandi prede- ceasing her. Some delegates were quite serious in approval as were those who opposed. All, however, managed to make some bulls. One man sug- gested that a woman "who took care of an old minister" was entitled to some consideration; another suggested that voung widows should rank only as children, and got rather warm when asked whether on reaching the age of eighteen they should then rank as adults. The amendment was defeated. Gave a Shower. Cataraqui, June 16.~Quite a numb- er from Twre are al camp at Pelawa- wa. Mrs. C. Purdy and John Ward, continue very ill.
