ther of Lillie Low, who the coroner decid-
ed committed suicide in the woods at
Washington heights on July 23, called
yesterday on Coroner O’Moaglror. who '

Mr. Low toid‘hlm that he was not set.
lsiled with the coroner’s jury verdict and
wanted to see if something further could

Captain Pickett of the West ‘l‘hlrticth
Street station had turned over to him the
clothes in which his daughter was found
dead he had found powder marks all chr
the jacket and more blood on tho clothes
than he thought would have come from to
single bullet Wuliiltl in the right temple.
He said that ho lrcliovcd some one shot
Lillie while standing three or four feet
away. This was the only way, he said, I
that he could account for the powder“
marks luring so scattered.
Coroner U'hlengher sent llir. how to
the district attorney's oillce, and the case
will lie placed before the grand jury if the
district attorney thinks there In enough,
evidence to warrant it. i
Coroner (l'Menrzlier said that the lrullet
that killed the girl cut an artery that was
suillcient to drain out till the hiood in the
Imdy.
Acting District Attorrn y Lindsay said
he could say nothing in n gnrd to the case
of Mr. Low.

trict attorney's nIIIH' yesterday afternoon
and was closeted for u long time with

present in the speakers' gallery at the
special invitation of Mr. William Court

Mr. Crisp said to a press representative:
“Before the house met Mr. (~iuliy show-

the comments he made upon each of them
Wore most interesting. "Ho also showed
me the statues of great statesmen of the

the portraits of the decorum-d British states-

“The sixth sue shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose. and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d. a world too wide
For his shrunk shanks: and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound:—-”
in the afternoon of life, such as Shakespeare describes, men like sensible
reading, and they like facts from a reliable source. Such a source is the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, which contains matter suitable to all ages and which can be
bought by the poorest old man for an outlay of ten cents a day. The reason grand
P‘A'FIIICR IIICADS with spectacles is because his
eyes have flattened with age and become less convex.
The “hole science of optics is to be found in the Britannica, and then the
scholarly old gentleman can read of the optical arrangements of the eye: of the
laws in relation to the. microscope and telescope and of the wave theory of light.
Shakespeare meant no offense to age in describing the old man asa "lean and
slipper‘d pautaloou." The I’antuIOon was a character in the (lid Italian Forces and
it appears in the l 'hristmas Pantomime of today.
it represented as Warburton observes, a thin, emaciated old man in slippers.
The Encyclopedia Britannica tells all about slippers of all kinds as well as
about boot and shoe making. It also tells about old forces in which the pantaleon
appeared. Even the youthful hose with which the old gentleman covers his
".drrunk shanks" r-nnno: (*rl'ipo the keen Britannica, which contains most inter-
estinr: articles on stockings and hosiery.
“Pipes" and “wiristles" are adequately dealt with in the wonderful
which is not only instructive but is very interesting as well.
The lean and slippercd pantnlocn should never be without his Britannica.
