Bockwill From the West Refus- ed to Take Dare, Even When Whisky Was Bad. New Haven, Conn., May 27.—John Bockwill, aged 21, a strapping dare- devil sort of a chap, who came from the west aud has been surprising tolksin the little village of Union City by hie many reckless feats, met death as a result of refusing to take a “dare” Bockwill boasted of his capacity for strong drink and some one fn Union Clty wagered him he could not drink 10 glasses of whiskey, known ¢ as “high balls” and sold in a well- ' known groggery at Union ( ity at 10 j cents a drink. Bockwell declared he would not only do the stunt, but would wash the whiskey down with the biggest glass of ale he could get. The 10 glasses were filled, each one to the brim with the flery liquid which is known to the local topersas the kind that “burns all the way down.” All were set in a row on the bar and with a reckless ‘Here goes,” Backwill began drinking. He did not stop until he had drained the dregs of the last glass, and then call- ing for “an ale” he dashed it off. Then he staggered and full to the floor. It was thought he was only intoxicated and laughingly the wit- nesses of his feat removed him to his home and tossed him on his bed. {They found him dead and a physi- cian said death was caused by acute alcoholism.

On Fire in Mid-Ocean. New York, May 27.—Fire in the first cabin of the White Star liner Teutonic created excitement among the 1,200 paseengers when the ship was 900 miles east of Sandy Hook Tuesday efternoon. Men from the engine room and steward’s force fought the fire more than an hour before it was put out. The fire was due to crossed electric light wires, A steward was making the rounds of the first cabin Monday afternoon sounding the dinner gong, when he srw smoke coming from one of the stateroc as on the port side of the promenade deck amidships. The steward ran forward to the chief steward’s office and, without letting any of the passengers know, told the chief that the ship was, on fire. Another steward was hurried off to Captain Smith, and the latter left the bridge and personally directed the laying of a line of hose. Officers were stationed at various points fore and aft of where the flames were, with {n- structions to keep back the passen- gers. Cannon Still Stands Pat. Washington, May.—Speaker Can- non, on having his attention called to a report that heis out for tariff revision as @ Presidential candidate, and has abandoned the stand-pat- ters, sald: “I do not know where the ‘grape- vine’ originated. Tha only knowl- edge I have.in the matter {is the re- ports.” Mr. Cannon added. “In the campaign cf a year ago the Republican party won a victory which gave the Republicans a ma- jority of 58 in the Sixtieth Congress, which organizes in December next, upon the cry ‘Let well enough alone,’ and I haveno doubt thatthe Sixtieth Congress so elected will be true to | free. the pledges made in the campaign.” Crazy Over Perpetual Motion. South Bend, Ind., May 27.—That Dey Armstrong went insane over a plan to make a perpetual motion machine was the statement of an at- torney in his opening address for the defense in the trial of Armstrong for the murder of Carey Vincent. Arm- strong’s nervousness caused him often to insist that his father remove his false teeth, the noise of which troubled the young man at the din- ner table. Several other instances of the de- fendant’s insanity were brought up, among them being a case where he attempted to repair an engine by cutting 6 hole in a boiler which had GIRLS LAY DOWN IN PARK TO DIE. Kansas City Druggist, However, Gave Them Mixture Instead of Carbolic Acid. Kansas City, Mo., May.—Had Lu- lu Miller, 16 years old, been given straight carbolic acid and hertriend, Alice Robinson, the same age, asked for it at the Ow! Drug Store Monday afternoon both girls would have been found dead in Swope Park. When Lulu asked for the drug, however, Thomas Simonton, the manager, asked: “Who {sit for? Have you ever gotten it before?” “It’s for mamms,” she replied. “T’ve got it lots of times.” “There was something in her acts which made me suspicious,” sald Mr. Simonton. “We don’t like to sell earbolic acid to children. Anyway, I went back and fixed up an ounce bottle, one-third water, one-third glycerine and one-third carbolic acid.” Both girls had been missing from their homes since Monday morning, when they left ostensibly for work at the Jones dry goods store, Their disappearance had been reported to the police. Shortly afternoon Tues- day two girls, hatless, pale and wan, with their hair disheveled, staggered into a little frame cottage at 3151 East Eighteenth street. A patrol- man was called, He took them to headquarters and placed them in charge of Mrs, Joan Moran, police matron, They told of how they had gone to Swope Park Monday morning in- instead of going to work. After re- maining there all day they returned to the store. Lulu said the depart- ment manager had threatened to tell of their absence from the store. “We had been talking of killlng ourselves before,” Lulu sald, but when he said that, it settled it. We went to the drug store and got the acid. Then we went back to Swope Park, where we drank the contents of the bottle and lay down to die,” The girls left notes with their full names and addresses in their purses, All night they lay there, turning their skirts up over their thinly clad shoulders for protection from the damp cold. They say they slept fittully, first one and then the other waking up and watching the other to see if death had come. They slept until the sunshine awakened both. Each looked at the other, surprised to see her alive. They became ill and sought refuge in the house at East Eighteenth street.

The retired contractor sighed as hogot into his dress sult and thought of theelaborate dinnerand the opera that were to come, “Some day,” he sald, ‘'I’ll git real desp’rit, an’ then do you know what I'll do?” “Something terrible, no doubt,” replied his ambitious wife. “T s’pose it wouldn’t look well in print,” he admitted, “but I can’t help that. What I'll do will be to throw away these high-priced cigars, put on some old clothes, go out an’ come In by the back way an’ smoke @ quarter pound of cut up chewin’ tobacco {n a cob pipe while I’m talk- in’ things over with the coachman in the barn.”—From the June Bc hemian.
