Burke, Of Louisiana. to-day called on
the President, who showed them two
kilograms prepared to be sent to Gen.
Augur and Gov. Packard In the first
Gen. Ausur is informed that hereafter
the troops must not be used for polit-
ical purposes in Louisiana, but for the
purpose only of preserving peace and
IN aid Of the civil authorities when the
latter are powerless to do so. The tel
egram to Packard was to the effect that
the policy of maintaining the State
government by Federal troops must be
abandoned, as such use of Federal
forces was against the public sentiment
aud unjust TO majority of the people.
The following kilograms are fur
nished by the War Department.:

Attempted Suicide.

The city was startled last evening by
a rumor that gained rapid spread, that
Edward Simpson, Deputy United States
Marshal had committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head
VITA revolver The rumor was only
partially true. He had made the at
tempt but il failed, and unless the con-
cussion should affect his nerves for a
day or so, he will be as fit for duty as
ever this morning. The escape, how
ever, was marvellous one He had
placed the PISTOL at his head and pulled
the trigger so close was it that the
flash burned his forehead. It was
about or ha'f past 9 o'clock, and he
was alone . his apartments at 2l8
Wiscon in street at the time, 1t was

others were in the room, and but a
very few moments snfficed to bring
DR. M4rks His professional glance
rested on the wound, aad he naturally
began to wonder what business man
with a bullet in his brain bad to be
walking around. Then he attempted
to probe it, but Simpson refused to
allow him to do so. He had shot him
self. he meant to do it, and was going
to die anyway, Finally, in the interest
Of science, he consented to allow the
wound to be probed, and sat down.
The doctor felt cautiously, expectin if
he touched the ball it would drop
through into the brain. Further and
further went the probe, revealing at
last th, astounding truth that the bullet
had fullowsd the .kall for three or four
inches, aud gone upward aud out
through the hair, cutting neat fur
row between skin and bone, and dam
aging nothing-not even personal ap-
pearance.
The reason for this attempt at self
destruction Is not obvious, though cir
cumstances would indicate that it was
wholly irresponsible ct Sentinel, q.

aud she was homely. Buc she was $50

till she looked like o hoe handle, and
she took steps four inches long. She
wore G patent tip>up hat on the south
east corner of her head, and her hair
descended iuto her eyes with ''idioti-
cally studied coafusion.' Near Press
rect street abe dropped q little red bow
with a gold pin attached, and it hut-
tered to the edge of the sidewalk. She
stopped and looked az it. 1t might as
we'll have hutsered to the edge OF the
universe and dropped over for anything
that she could do to get it. She walked
around ii two or three tiines, gaEed
sadly at il, and then walked q block 10
Bolivar street, got s small boy and paid
him ten cents to come back and pick mp
that bow. As the boy reioined his com
pauion he remarked: alarmed ii l ever
