TWO ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE. Louis Prue, Despondent After Police Court, Tried to Hang Mimself With Suspenders, Then With Handker- chief and Stockings. _Louis Prue, whose case for intoxica- tion and breach of Peace was con- tinued in the police court.. Friday morning, made twe despevate but un- successful atlempts to commit suicide by hanging in his cell yesterday. The first attempt was shortly after Prue had beer:“l returned to ma{ cell after the court session. He was fo 1 from his cell with his "‘L‘\‘..p...i.‘:‘i around his neck, apnd Ci Richmond discovered him and cut him - down. Prue, when asked why he did it, said he was despondent over his domestic affairs. Ia afterngon about 3 o'clock Prue made a second attempt to ban~ himself with a rope made from his stockings and handkerchief and he was again cut down by Chief Rich- mond. who then handcuffed the pris- oner to save him from self destruction. After that he was placed in the cell with another prisoner who was sober- ing off after a drunk. Prue was re- leased last Saturday from Brooklyn jail and Thursday night was arrested on _complaint of his wife after he had locked her and the children out of the house. Thread Company on Full Time.

Mr. Editor: One of the most im- portant meetings in the history of this city is called for next Tuesday evening to take action on the municipal ice question. It is & matter that chal- lenges the most serious thought of ev- ery thinking voter and should be op- Dosed by every intelligent elector. First, because it was conceived in po- litical sin. The whole scheme is a measure of Mayor Dunn and his city ring machine as a cheap play to the galleries to further his own seltish | political ends. | public policy the aldermen, a majority {of whom are democrats. never ought to have voted without giving the elec- tors and taxpayers of this city a fair warning and a hearing. ~The munici- pal icehouse was erected contrary in spirit, if not in letter, to the pro- | visions of the city charter that provide | that no public contract should be tak. jen by an official of the city, The municipal icehoitse was built by a ¥ ge Mar- {tin, and Ctiy Clerk A.

Dr, Kaui- man is finanical agent of this fund. Dr. Nicola 1s superintendent of this institution. His closing lecture bore the signifi- cant title Wild Oats, the Sowing, the Growing and the Mowing. No good Crop ever came from sowing wild oats. They only teach experiences not werfh having. Observation and study are far better teachers and they do net harm their pupils. Why should yeung folks be so foolish as to seek io learn vy bad experience what older persons can tell them? The spirit of Ged is the best cure for bad habits. The doctor showed a chart of the healthy human stomach and of the moderate drinker | and the drunkard, The linings of all but the first were mere and more blistered by sores. ' Peppes and Coffes May Begin It. Pepper, coffee, cigarettes, cigars, wine, whiskey—these are often the down steps taken by many though not all get to the bottem. But why begin? At 2 ’Because a few may grow old in spite of these things don’t prove that the majority may. Some miserable men and women escape the diseases of licientiousness and then try o teach boys and girls they can sin with im- punity, Why do they not point to the thousands of men ruined by venereal | diseases and tell them that the aver- age life of a prostitute is only five years? Some say: “T'll take chances.” but they are only chances to lose. No- body gains anything by bodily sins. In fact, they miss the real pleasures of life. Too many young people look forward to the joys of married life without ever seeming to realize they should be the best of fathers and mothers possible. Dr. Nicola's talks have bcen rather a unique feature for a camp meeting, but his statementshave all been the line of the truth of the Bible. and he could say some things preachers ocould not 50 well. The Rich Fool. At the close of the pralse service Thursday evening in the _tabernacle prayer was offered by Rev. M. S. Kauf- man of Providence. Evangelist Dun- nack preached on the parable of The Rich Fool. Luke 12: 16-21. This man put his head and heart into farming and was a winner. He is an interest- ing fellow, figuring out how to build bigger barns. but a voice came from the_ sky, “Thou fool” But he forgot the God upon whom he was so depend- ent for crops. He forgot his soul could not eat, drink and be merry on farm produce, He forgot death, which is everywhere, and the judgment where all must appear. He lived for this life alone. Is not a man a fool who wastes eternity for time? Notes. Mrs. E. 8.

The forest fire that broke out near B LAWSON'S BODY ‘ FELL INTO CELLAR. Coroner's Theory That Waeodstock Man Was Killed at Head of Stairs. Coroner A. G. Bill, in connection with his investigation of the Wood stock murder case, has sent to New Haven a collection of articles that are to be subjected to tests to determine if certain stains that appear upon them are human blood. Some of these arti- cles are garments. Other lhings in- cluded in the lot are pieces of wood, some. of these taken from the cellar steps. The theory of the coromer is that Lawson was killed at the top of the cellar stairs and that his body fell from them into the cellar, from where it was taken out a cellar exit to the barn. This theory is substantiated in a measure by evidence that has been found. There were no developments in the case Friday and it was said by an offi cial in touch with the case that it was not possible to state how much time would elapse before further action ‘would be taken. Mrs. Lawson remains eritically {ll, suffering from heart trou- ble in an aggravated ferm. It is ex- pected, however, that she will recover from the shock of the tragedy within a short time. ‘Woodstock people continue to show an extremely lively interest In the case and have evelved many theories of what occurred at the Lawson home at the time of the murder, but as to the value of any or all of these theo- ries not much can be said until a fur- ther investigation has been made.
