4 2 * Rail “DOC” WILSON TIRED OF LIFE. fhe Anteged Blackmailers Attempt to Commit Suicide in Providence. “Doo” Levi Wilson, who became famous by his suite against Philip Moen, the barbed-wire manu- Cacturer of Worcester, attempted to take his life at the Hotel Dorrance, at Providence, Saturday Right, by swallowing laudanum. He has been stopping att otel, Occupying room 48, since his bondsmen gave him up and his wife left him last winter. About 9 o’clock Saturday night he entered the uMice of the hotel, and after holding a few min- utes’ conversation with the clerk he took his key and started up stairs. When he entered his room be waiked directly to the mantel, and, after gaz- ing earnestly at the pletures of hts wife and chil dren a minute or two, kissed them and then @arned =their faces to the wall. He then took a package of letters from his coat cket and after reading them carefully began ery apd Gang: his hands. A few minutes later he went to his. trunk, took out his dress. Bult, a clean shirt and collar and cuffs,and laid them onthe bed. He them read a letter he had Feceived that day from his wife and when he fin- shed he sat down and wrote a reply, alsoa noteto George Cross, an intimate friend. After placing the three letters on tne bed he walked back and forth a few minutes and then undressed. He ‘Stripped to his underclothes and then went to the till of his trunk, took out a small bottle and drank fs contents. A few seconds after he went to the aking-tube, gave the beli a sharp ring and told clerk to come up, With the injunction that it Was very ortant. Only @ portion of the last word, how Tr, Was uttered. The clerk susj something was w — and rushed up stairs to Wil- ‘Son's room and found him lying on the floor. Wil- son pointed to the bed and then fell back, seem- Angiy dead. A young student of the University at New ‘York volunteered his services, but. Wilson’s pulse grew fainter and faluter under his treatment. Dr. Abbott was then summoned, and he gave him a large dose of ipecac and a hypodermic injection of atrophine, After several hours’ work the phys- {clan considered Wilson out of danger. ‘The rote which was addressed to Mr. Cros read as follows: “Please see that my sult which lies upon the bed ts put on me, and that I am properiy dressed. You will allow my wife to visit the hotel and see my remains, if she desires.” ‘The catises which led to Wilson’s attempted Suicide are poverty and alienation of his wife's affections. At a late hour Sunday night Wilson was Very Weak, and ail he said about his act was that the public would be against him, and many would Say that he tried to take his life so as to cover up some crime. ‘The Advance of Cholera.

Not at all. They are regarded as eatable, and they are eaten. In fact the Chinese and Japanese eat everytht that comes out of the sea. All the fishes are to their taste, and.are caught with great skill. Seaweeds of several sort are sent far inte the in- terior, to be used in thickening soups, gravies and puddings, and are highly prized because they give & relishing flavor of salt, which 4s a luxury beyond the reach of most Chinese peasants. ‘The use of seaweed fs almost identécal with the very common use of “Irish moss” by Americans in making toothsome dishes. But, indeed, fishes and seaweed are eaten the world over, Dut surely no other people eat the tide-flat animals swai- lowed by the natives of Yesso. For example, the most slinply organized of the class of animals to which “shells” ‘belong are called ascidians. They grow sometimes singly, sometimes in clusters, and are rooted immoyably to the sandy bottom, subsisting on What the currents may bring to them. In Japan there is an ascidian (Cynthia) which 1s as large as one’s fist. It has no shell whatever, and is gray, Mabbs, Culip-shaped sac, supported on a short Stalk. But, in spite of 1t3 forbidding appearance, the Japs pickle it in vinegar and use Atas food, Another animal growing between the high and low water-marks on the Japanese coast 1s. a mud- worm called Sabella. It occupies a hard, limy tube of its own making, and gets its food, when the high tide comes up over its hiding place, by thrusting outa head bushy with tentacles, and sucking In currents of water loaded with minute particles of nutriment. Out of this wriggling creature the shore people make a soup, which ts true vermicelli, not a paste imitation of “little worms;” and it 18 said to taste as badly as tt smells A better dish fs made from the soft interior parts of the sea-urchin, or ecuimus, large numbers of which lurk along the rocky shores of the J archipelago and the northern coast of China. Thave seen the Haidas and other coast Indians of the Pacific shores of British America, devouring Taw sea-urching with great gusto, crushing them in thelr ists, sucking out the orange-colored cluster of eggs, which constitute the only edible part, amounting to one or two teaspoonsful, and then ‘urowing the thorny case aside. The minute eggs taste much like oysters, and have been a favorite food of the natives of the bleak coast of Alaska for ages. ‘On many of the islands of the Aleutian archipe ago you may see spots close by the beach where the grass is always noticeably greener and more Tuxurlant than elsewhere. When the surface soil is removed at these spots there 1s found under. heath a layer of What seems to be greenish sand overlying the stony or clayey sofl of the tsland. It is not sand, however, but the powdered rem- nantsof sea eggs that have been thrown underfoot during unnumbered feasts. ‘These heaps are often two of three feet in thickness and cover several acres. They were probably forming for more than 1,000 years, and throughout the layer may be found some interesting stone and bone relics of the race which made them. ehos = An Egyptian Funeral.
