FICE FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE.
DUBLIN, October ). The first nationalist
county convention for nominating candidates
for seats in parliament was held at " icklow To-
day. Mr.. Parnell on the opening of the conven-

unity OF action and selfsacrifice of political am
billions in selecting the candidates of the party.
He referred to Wicklow's splendid harbor,
which he said testified that Irishmen were cap
able of better work when not fettered by the
English government. The remarks of the home

The Naval Advisory Board.

ITS CURIOUS Observation-Disclosures To CON.
TINUE, BUT WITHOUT ANY DUTIES TO PER-
FORM.
What are the duties of the naval advisory
board now-a-days?' asked STAR reporter of a
naval officer.
Drawing their salaries seems to be their most
onerous task at present." was the reply. Since
the Roach-Navy department difficulties, begin
ming with the action of the Secretary of the
Navy In rejecting the report of the advisory
board recommending the acceptance of the
Doiphln, and insisting upon additional trials,
and eliminating in ROach's failure and the
department, the advisory board have had no
duties beyond defending their report on the
Dolphin against the criticisms of the special
BOARD appointed to examine and report upon
her.
The position of the advisory board just now is
very curious one, and is subject of general
comment among naval officers. The existence
OF the board Is authorized by law until the COM
Pietlon OF the cruisers Chicago, Boston aud At
ianta, under their supervision The Secretary
OF the Navy intends to have these vessels COM
pleted by the Navy Department, and to this
END mas had an inventory aud appraisement of
the work and material made by specially
appointed boards. The original advisory board
will have the supervision of the work
until the vessels are finished 1t
remains to be seen whether that supervision will
be active or merely nominal. If they supervise
1t Will be under the direction of the Secretary
OF the Navy. and Judging by his treatment Of
the board thus far, it would not be strange II
they have little more onerous duties to perform
than they have now. The existence of the
board will terminate with the completion of
the unfinished cruisers. The board have moth
ing. to do with the construction of the new
cruisers, concerning which Commodore
walkers board reported recently.

NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HIMSELF. HE
ASKS TO BE SHOWN TO THE RIVER THAT HE
MAY JUMP IN.
Augustus Hoose, a mathematical instrument
maker from New York, made desperate at
tempt to commit suicide at Myers hotel, on
Pennsylvania avenue, about half-past nine
o'clock this morning, by cutting his throat with
a razor. After committing the deed he went
from his room on the second floor to the bar.
room below, and going to the bartender, VIM
Greib, inquired, (Which way is the Potomac
river?" Blood was streaming from the terrible
cash which had been inflicted with the razor.
Mr.. Greib placed him on chair and he ex-
claimed, 81 am so sick, and want to drown my.
self" Drs. TOwnshend and Sellhausen were
sent for and when they arrived the injured
man said: 81 am not strong enough to kill my
selt show me the river"
The patrol wagon was sent for and the suf
ferer was removed to Providence hospital.
APPARENTLY DEMENTED.
The room in which the deed was enacted is a
small bedroom on the second floor in the rear
of the hotel. There was in the room a bedstead,
bureau and washstand, on which laid the razor
bowl was half filled with blood and water, and
bloody finger prints were on the handle of the
pitcher. In the spittOOn was quantity of
stroyed. His baggage consisted of a large valise
several bottles Of medicine. Nothing was
known of him at the hotel except that he had
acted strangely since his arrival there, about
half-past eleven o'clock Friday night. During
the night some of the boarders heard consider.
able noise in his room. Saturday morning he
complained that during the night SOMEBODY
had been calling him. He said that somebody
was after him from New York. The boarders
generally supposed him to be demented.
WHAT Is KNOWN OF HIM HERE.
The only man who appeared to know any,
thing about him was Mr.. Edward Kahler. chief
Of division in the photographic Office i'm the
Navy department. He stated to a STAR re-
porter that Hose was native of Germany and
was about forty-five years of age. His parents
are dead and his only relative in this country
is a cousin, who resides In New York Some
years ago, while in New York, they were part
ners, but had since dissolved partnership Six
teen weeks ago Hoose had his leg broken in
jumping from a street car, which Mr.. Kahler
thought had affected his mind Since that
time he believes that he is prosecuted wherever
he goes, and that the police are after him. Mr.
Kahler said that when he left Hose last night
the latter said that the police were going to
take him away in the morning. Hose seemed
perfectly rational when talking politics or on
money matters, but on other subject s he ap-
peared to be "Off."
