Doath was thought to Bevery nour. The suicide was & most deliberate one, It had evidently been long premeditated, He intended to commit the deed in Philadolphia, as the following letter foundon the bureau and dated in that city shows: : To Whomit May Concern: Having arcived at the deliberate conclusion to end a life which has been to moe a source of pain and turmoil, and pot knowing exactly what day I will carry my purpose into execution, I desm it right and wise to write the following: My name, Dr. Stern; sged about thirty-one; place of birth, Manchester, England; occupa- tion, Jewish rabbi.

Since_then he has been lecturing in New York and writing for leading journals and papers. He was & man of great and com- manding mental powers and was ono of the mostfamous Jowish rabbis in America, He was not a strict conformer to the Jewish re- ligion, in fact, was almost a unitarisn. His peculiar bellefs and tho boldness with which ha exprossed them made him many enemies, Ho was frequently accused of atheiem, and it raid has upheld agnostic theoties, He was a brilliant and able locturer and a profound scholar. Thenews of his suicide created a deep sensation in this sity, where he is known to every one.
