suicide in rTcdgevilie,

A WHITE WOMAN PUTS AN END TO THE WRONGS
WHICH SHE surrHRRp FROM coLoRED HTS
BAND.
Coroner Groves held an inquest, this morning,
over the body Of Rebecca Ann Swiggett white,
whose husband was Samuel Swiggett, col
ored man. They were married, by the testi-
mony OF the husband some five years
ago. without license. by Baptist min
lister named Williams. The evidence
taken developed the fact that the woman had
died from laudanuin procured at grocery at
Maryland Avenue and Linden Streets De-
ceased left letter saying that she had put an
end to her life because her hu-band misused her
and refused to furnish her with the money nee
essary to her own maintenance. noice
of the deceased testified that Mrs Swiggett was
formerly married to white man named Thomp-
son. who lived at the Pine Tree, and that she
has two children by that marriage, who refused
to recognize her after she married Swiggett. The
verdict of the Jury WAS that the deceased came
to her death from the effect OF laudanum ad-
ministered by her own hands.

" COULD WE FORGET"

Could we forget tho joy, delight Of living;
Tho thousand name1ess something's born Of lows:
The wavering Light Of reason, comprehendiuR
How little here below, how much above;
The hearts tmpassioned yearnings vaguely uttered.
With cain o'erahndowings Of heavenly things:
The burning breath that enters with glory
70 thrill the songs our fancy ever sings;
The words unspokcn, md the thoughts unvriteAn:
The slnnce that lends loneliness tongue:
The fhr-of music, ho.ttug near, like whisperu
Tuning tho broken chords that lie urstrupp
Tbs treasures buried, aud the pleasures tasted :
The hands that beckons through the darkest days:
The thumb outreaching Of MI yoiccless sorow:
The words OF cheer, that mete out all Of praise
The 8roaning heartaches, and the client 1ongipRs
That weary life ftseN with cease1ess PRAYERS:
The rhythmic rush Of underlined expressions
Brdng1ng p1osa1c measures uuawares;
The 1u1. complete, unsought, embodied spirit
That takes possession Of our inmoat souls
Moldlng all shapes and sounds with curious 6tnen
70 bend the will and senses It controls:
The csngeless tread Of dreary nights and mornings
The bitter cup we drink, yet daily dread
The gr1ef, Voc, anguish, all Of life aW1kena:

:. The love Of God, which passeth understanding y

WOES OF A HUSBAND

John Henry had been oil on business hi}
(says tho Cincinnati Ti:n<s), and got home ut
in the morning. He found the doors all locked
and tried to get in at the back window, in tht
course OF which proceeding policeman nabbed
him for burglar.
"Why, you big idiot, live here, )" said the in,
jured man.
| mo you don't, Gully; that dog won't jump.
I've had the nippers on you atore. You're acun-
min cove, you are"
.'But I tall you. you blasted fool. that my
names Horny, and live here. Just ring the
bell and ask my wife.
10 the guardian ct the law rang the bell.
Mrs. Henry stuck her night-cap ont Of the vim
| dow. and asked: ''Is that you. CharIie?"
| Who in !}fe blue blazss is Charlie? !"
Thought John Henry, and, while his heart Was
ooipg over with Jealousy. the policeman asksl:
ia your husband at home. mH'am?"
''No. he's out Of town, snd won't be home for
several DAYS" and then slammed the window
| down in hurry.
So the 5evlldered John vent OF to the station
''CharIie" " was brother from the country who
had come to make few days veit.
WANTED ANOTHER TO BALANCE.
Says the Detroit Free Press: He was IN old
bachelor and she q widow Of means and good
looks. As they sat in tho back psrlor the other
evening he noticed = new picture hanging up
and ho adjusted his glasses and remarked:
"A new picture. eh?
Yes. my husbands monument" she replied.
as she laid her band on bis arm. ..Dou't YOU
think I WAS liberal? And If only had another
painting like it to balance this big chrome in
the center il would just finish out my group!"
He thinks he will marry maiden when he
matries.
SAW 4 ZEBRA.
He was man OF digsolute practices and irreg-
ular habits, aud he lived here (says the Norwich
Butletin). He groaned in his sleep, and his wife
arose to light the lamp. He beheld the vast dis
play OF striped s:ockings, and then murmured to
himself:
I've got :em sure this time"
"Got What?" she inquired.
"Gos the der1um tremens. Tn seeing AMI

She turned down the Light, and the menagerie
was closed
