Jessie Parsons Blew 0111; Her.
Brains in a New York Hotel."
HAD WEALTH AND BEAUTY
Found Dem] in Her floor“. and ho
One Knows Why Sllc Sought De-
struction—She Was ‘Worricd by
Her Wealth.
New York, Nov. 4.—The__body of Miss
Jessie Parsons. who shot herself at' the
Hotel Manhattan on Monday night,
was sent yesterday afternoon to Pound
Ridge, N. Y. The mystery of the death
of Miss Parsons deepens as her friends
fail' to find a sufilclent’motive for her
suicide. .
,Try as they may those who knew her
cannot underStand why she, a young
woman. handsOme and rich, and seem—
ingly with everything for which to live,
should have put a bullet in her brain.
And they are amazed at her cold, cal-
culated farewell to the world.
The only things that suggest'them-
selves as causes for her suicide are the
responsibility of managing her estate
of $120,000, her acknowledged fear that
all was not well with'the estate, and
her chagrin at what she considered in-
ability to amount to anything in the
world. This last thought was born of
a. failure to prepare satisfactorily for
an' entrance to Barnard College.
Her half brother, William E. Parsons,
J r., of No. 581 Broadway, has intimated
that remorde caused her suicide. In ex-
; planation he said that he and five
' other children of Dr. William E. Par-
sons by his first wife had contested
, their father’s will when it left all to
Jessie. .
“She won the suit, however, Mr.
ParsOns said, “and I think she killed
herself for remorse. She knew she
hadn’t done right in fighting for the
money.”
. Miss Parsons’ father, Dr. William E.
n
.Parsons, was a leading dentist, of this
city fifty years ago. He retired from
business twenty-two years ago and
died in April of this year at Pound
Ridge, where he had lived in retire-
ment.
Mrs. Parsons, Miss Jessie's mother,
died five years ago, Dr. Parsons hiv-
ing married her. it is said, the day af-
ter his first wife died.
That Miss Parsons was a woman of
business even to the last minute of her
life was attested by the notes found
on the table beside her dead body.
These calmly bade farewell to her
two chief friends, Herbert Barrett, a
young boy whose father, S. St. John
Barrett, of 464 Eighth avenue, she had,
often visited, and Louis Werner, of
Tarrytown, who had been Dr. Parsons‘
attorney.
She then went on to dispose of“cer-
tain immediate sums. Checks for the
amounts were found in Miss Parsons’
satchel. ‘
It was thought.that Miss Parsons‘
estate was involved in\some way from
one sentence in the letter she leftior
Mr. Werner:
“I know I am a fool, but perhaps
things will straighten out some time.”
Then came the requests about the
checks. one for $550 to meet the imme-
diate necessities of Miss Louise Bullen,
Miss Parsons’ aunt, at Yonkers, and
another of $56 to arrange for her
burial. ' ‘
And in the letter bidding good-bye to
her life and her friends, Miss Parsons
thought to explain that the $500 check
closed her account with the Lincoln
Bank. . " , ~
When Miss Parsons’ father died he
made'her sole exec-utrix of his estate.
She undertook at once the entire man-
agement of it, seeking advice but
rarely of her father's attorney.
Once she told Mr. Werner that she
did not feel mentally capable of man-
aging the estate, but she seemed un—
willing to intrust it to other hands.
It was some time after this that a
new ambition seized her. and she de-
lermlncd to enter Barnard College.
Vl’hcn it came to passing the en-
trance examinations Miss Parsons
found she was a failure. But nothing
daunted. she engaged a tutor, and af«
ter a while she began to appreciate
that the task was too great for her.
Chagrin and disappointment weighed
her down, and she gave up her studies
in despair.
It may have been this despair at
thwarted ambition that caused her sui-
chic. and it may have been‘family
troubles. as Mr. Werner has suggested.
The Barretts are as dumfounded as
the others at Miss Parsons’ death.
They cannot assign a. cause, and they
say they knew her as a happy. light
hearted young woman. who appeared
to be thalast person in the world to
commit suicide.
Pay Day. for Election Bets.
New York. Nov; 4.-——It was pay day
for those who made bets on the elec-
tion all over town yesterday. Owing
to the general cancellation. because of
the death of Henry George. of wagers
made prior to his death, the money that
changed hands represented, in the
main, bets made on Saturday and Mon-
day. The amount was not so large in
the aggregate as at a number of pre-
vious elections, but, nevertheless. it
represented a. very considerable total.
In the VVRII street district the amount
in slakelolders‘ handslwas in excess of
$200,000.
Subscriptions for Luetgert.
Chicago. Nov. 4.—Ado~1pm L'. Luetgerl
received a visilt all: the Coun’t'y Jail yes-
terday from William Charles. his part-'
per, who was constantly at his side
during his first trial. Charles informed .
Luetgert that almost 81,000 had been
subscribed by his sympathizers to aid
in the defense. Since the conclusion oi
the recent trial Charles has been busy
securing subscriptions from the friends
of Luetgert and is meeting with con-
siderable success.

Treasury omcmis Think‘ They \vm
Ilc Sutllclent' for Expenses.
Washington, Nov. 4.--The receipts of
the Treasury from customs for the first
three days in November, notwithstand-
ing one of them was a legal holiday in
New York, show for the first time since
the new tariff. law went into effect an
increase over the receipts for the cor-
responding period of last year from the
same source. Assistant Secretary
Howell, who has charge of customs
matters, is particularly well pleased
over the outlook, and asserted ugluy'
that by the first of the year the .ov-
ernment wbuldbe in receipt of sum-
cient funds, owing to the increase of
customs collections, to meet current in-
debtedness. ‘
“In other words." he said. “the Ding-
ley bill will pro've to be a revenue pro-
ducer to such an extent that, with its
other resources, the Government will
no longer be facing a daily addition to
the existing deficit. The debt state-
ment for October,” he continued.
“shows a net deficit in the fiscal opera-
tions of the month of $8,441,878. Im-
portations of sugar and wool alone.
under normal conditions, will bring
into the Treasury a sufficient sum to
overbalance that deficit, leaving the
collections from all other articles to be
applied to the reduction of the deficit
accumulated since the first of the
year.”
Figures furnished by the Bureau of
Statistics, to which Mr. Howell re-
ferred, show that during the first six
months of this calendar year the sugar
refiners rushed into the country an
enormous amount of sugar, the month-
ly importation increasing from 308,000,-
000 pounds in January to 773,000,000 in
April, and the importations for May
and June fell but little short of the
'April figures. Since then the importa-
tions have averaged less than 140,000,-
000 pounds a month. The stock on
hand, it is calculated, will have to be
augmented by the beginning of 1898, as
will also that of wool, which was‘piled
up in the same way to take advantage
of the Wilson-German law.
OFF FOR THE KLONDIKE.
Boat Negns Leaves New Haven
with Eight Gold Seekers.
New Haven, Ct., Nov. 4.—The pilot
boat Thomas S. Negus, having on
board Capt. Joseph McClure and eight
companions bound for the Klondike,
sailed out of New Haven harbor yes-
terday with the encouraging cheers of
a crowd of friends. A farewell session
was held in the cabin of the vessel just
before she sailed away, in which the
wives and children of the voyagers
took part.
Capt. McClure says he will try and
make the trip in 118 days from this

in accomplishing this he will have
broken the record by about fourteen
days. The Negus is a very fast boat
