Attempt at Suicide. It Might Have Been Prevented. [From the Boston Post.] While the walks in the Public Garden were crowded yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates at the corner of con and Charles streets were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to the ground. While waiting for a conveyance an officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was about 50 years of age, as to his name, address, and reason for wishing to end his life, but the man steadfastly refused to give any infor- mation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although weak from loss of blood it is probable he will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a hospital attendant got a little information from him. He said his name was Samuel D—., and that he came some weeks ago from New Brunswick. The last few days his head has felt queer, and he has been wan- dering about the city, not knowing which way toturn, What impelled him to commit his rash act he was unable to say. The above is the familiar but terrible! story of the results of mentalderangement caused by overstrain of the nervous system. ; People who have dizziness, headache or back- ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or | despondent feelings, are already well on the road which leads to insanity and suicide. | - “Dr. ae a Co.: I cannot find language in which to express my apprecia- tion of the great benefit I have rived | from the use of your Restorative Nervine. | When life became a burden I would use the | Nervine to soothe my weakened nerves, and to calm my exhausted and irritable brain.” | —Mnra_H: Brown, Rochester, N.

Judge DeArmond, our represen tative in congress has earned uni- versal commendation and confidence for his course when the votes on the Wilson bill with its several proposed amendments were taken. Mr. De- Armond voted in the interest of sil- ver coinage every time. His speech in the House was an able and effec- tive argument for the policy favored almost unanimously by his consti- tuents.

Parks, one of Butler’s most ; esteemed citizens died at his resi- dence in this city at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, after a week’s illness. death was due to areturn attack of the grippe of which he suffered last spring.

Judge DeArmond, who represent- ed this district before the state was | redistricted, made a clean cut, force- ful presentation of the silver ques- tion Saturday. He spoke as a man | loyal to his convictions, loyal to his | party, loyal to the people who sent. him to congress. DeArmond is an jable man, and his argument is not i only strong but it is a just plea for |the masses of the people.
