Park Policeman J. W. Fish shot
himself this morning with a 38 cali
bre Smith A Wesson pistol whilst
seated in a chair in his kitchen.
Mrs. Fish has been away for some
time visiting relatives apd friends in
New York and Kentucky. Miss El
la Fish, the daughter, was marriod
two days ago to Mr. JaB. McRea, of
Macon, so there were none of the
family at home, except Mr. Fish.
A gentleman named Barnard and
his family from Florida occupy rooms
Bp stairs in Mr. Fish’s house, About
seven o’clock this thomUi|hMr. Bar
nard heard the report oWho pistol,
and found on coming down stairs
Mr. Fish seated in a chair > in the
kitchen, pistol still in hand and his
head leaning back, against the win
dow, with a ghastly hole in his right
temple and the blood and brains ooz
ing out. t •
Policeman Dubberly was soon on
the ground and took chjtrge. The
writer got to the scene shortly after,
and found that life was extinct.
Up to this .writing nothing is
known of the cause of this rash act
Those who have seen most of him
lately, state that he has been quite
low spirited of late, saying that he
would lose hts place as Park Police
man in the new deal in politics this
winter,and that he has been drinking
heavily of late.
We could find no writing of any
kind, except an unsealed, envelop on
.the bureau in his room, addressed to

Months ago the Advertiser-Appeal
hinted at some grand improvements
to be inaugurated by the Brunswick
Company on their property (eighty
acres) in the eastern part of the city,
and skirting on the Boulevard, what
is. known as Picnic Grove being a
part of it.
We are now pleased to state that
the company are moving in the mat
ter. Already two skilled engineers
have been over the ground, and lo
cated every tree of any size. Their
work will now be turned over to an
expert landscape gardener, who will
at once lay it off. In the centre will
be located the park or “Plaza de
bos,” from which will open np, inser-
pcntinc shapes, avenues or drives all
over the tract, each having its own
appropriate name, “Myrtle,” “Oak,”
“Laurel,” “Palmetto,” etc, All that
unsightly marsh between the grove
and the Boulevard will be filled with
earth, and the most charming place
in the South made of that spot,
which, by the way, is beautiful in its
uhadorned condition. The interven
ing spaces between the drives will be
sold for residences. This will be
built up as a suburb of our city a

exists on this continent—a smfll-

When “Old Simpson’s” father died
years ago, he left him many eccen
tricities and a fortune of $1,000,000.
Old Simpson lives in Wakefield, Mas
sachusetts. If he had inherited tho
fortune minus the eccentricities of
his father, he might have enjoyed
life. But the eccentricities have
made him a miserable man. He
hoards his money, dresses scantily,
and sleeps in a stable on a bed of
straw. During tho day his time is
consumed fn collecting his rents, ex'
cept when ho munches his very plain
food. Old Simpsotf is not a citizen
of whom this .grand republic may
be proud.
His Luck Turned Too Late.
Atlanta Comtitntlon.
A sad feature connected with the
death of the late Col. Pulsifer, the
Boston editorahd capitalist, has just
come to flight
It is generally Relieved that Col.
Pnleifer committed * suicide on ac
count of his financial troubles. Ev
erything depended upon the success
of his agents in London in placing
about a million and a half pf dollars
in Marietta and North Georgia rail
road bonds. The day -before ha died
he cabled several times to London,
bnt received no, satisfactory answer.
In his despair he kilted himself.
TwentJ-four hours later the news
came that his bonds had been placed
and his fortunes were re-establishe'd
on a secure footing. ' ■
A similar case oocujTed in London
some years ago. A disappointed in
vestor who had spent his last cent
committed suicide, and on the fol
lowing day the government made a
proposition to utilize' his invention
and pay him a million dollars for it
But it was too late. Like Pulsifer
he had given up and died too soon.
Of course it is useless to point to
the moral. Men will continue to kill
themselves when they lose their mon
ey. And yet it is a foolish as well as
a wicked thing to do. Life even with
out a.fortune can be made worth liv

It seems to have been left to the
Rev. Joseph E. Smith, of Chattanoo
ga, to explain why prohibition was
defeated in Atlanta. His theory that
it was j. because -the colored- people

From the way in which the colored
voters were petted by both sides in
the memorable Atlanta campaign, it
is a little strange that the Rev. Mr.
Smith should have arrived at the
conclusion stated; but the man speaks
like one who is dead sure of what he
says. So probably the only thing
left to be done by the publio iB to ac
cept his wonderful theory, The Rev.
Smith is considerable of a genius.
