HIS FOURTH WAS SPOILED.

So He Got Knife and Cut His Throat in
the Arsenal Grounds.
Thomas Smith, of Co. G, Third Artillery, was
found yesterday morning at II O'Clock in the
Arsenal grounds with his throat cut. He was
discovered by one of the soldiers who was doing
patrol duty, and there is no doubt that the
wound was self-inhcted with intention to com
NIT suicide. Private Smith has been drinking
very heavy of late and was looking forward to a
high old time on the Fourth, but unfor
tunately he was ordered on duty Thursday
evening for guard, turn in affairs
that did not please him. He became morose
and detected, and yesterday when relieved from
duty went outside and filled up with liquor.
Returning to the grounds he went up as near
as possible to the commandant's house, erawled
under tree, and then slashed himself with
sheath knife twice across the throat. When he
was discovered the unfortunate man was very
weak from loss of blood, and it was thought
that he was dead. He was carried to the hos
pital, where the post surgeon attended and sue
ceeded in wiring his throat together. At mid
night he was still alive, but in critical condi-

Freaks of Lightning-People Hurt

AsBURY PARK, Nj, July 5.-During the storm
last night lightning struck the telephone and
electric light wires at Asbury avenue and Kings
ley street. One of the wires was severed by the
bolt and fell into the street, where it knocked
down several women and children who stepped
upon it. They screamed with terror. John
Robbins, of West Park, was caught by the wire
and dragged about fifty feet. He was badly
cut and bruised. Dr. Wildman, of New York,
who was sitting on the porch of the Oriental
Hotel had his face cut by lump of fire which
spattered from the wire in front OF the hotel. A
number of telephones were burned out by the
heavy charge of electricity which ran into the
hotels and cottages.

American Artists in Paris.

PARIS, July 5.-A proposition is being agi-
tated among American artists for the founda-
tion in New York of Prix de Paris, similar to
to the French Prix de Rome, under the condi-
tions of which four artists who are selected here
by competent artistic authorities are sent every
year to Rome to complete their studies at the
public expense. The plan now suggested is
that similar endowment be raised in America
for the purpose of sending yearly to Paris one
or more American artists under thirty years Of
age. Some well-known members of the Ameri-
can colony have expressed their desire to con-
tribute to such fund.

The ''dog days. of base ball are now on, and
it is safe to predict that before two weeks roll
round numerous deals will be effected in the
base ball situation. Already the leaders are at
work giving out their opinions, and it is anus
ing to see the curious ways in which the brighter
side is dwelt OH by the adherents and spokes-
men, There are three clubs in the Brotherhood,
three in the League, and just as many in the
Atlantic Association whose foundations rest on
a very thin financial shell, and it will not take
many "rainy" days to cause n cavern. The
game this year has been q cut-throat one be-
tween the several organizations, and each side
has endeaYored through means fair and foul
to get the better of the other. So in
tense has the fight become that many
ardent admirers of the game refrain
entirely from patronizing it. 1t cannot last
much longer, as with one or two exceptions
every professional team is dropping money,
and their stock is not fat enough to pay off in
CURED Indebtedness. There can therefore be
but one result, and that is the collapse of a
number of the teams. The League, being rich
and powerful, will do everything to keep their
teams afoat but it is doubtful if they will care
to pay ths entire salary list of Cleveland and
Pittsburg and then help the "Phillies" out of
their hole. The Brotherhood are also suffering
at Buffalo and Pittsburg, while their Cleveland
team isn't doing any sort of patronage work.
There is too much base ball, and people are
tired A reduction to the old number of clubs
Is what is needed, and needed badly.
